New-York tribune., 1908-01-26

London were delegated by Parliament to a
popularity elected body-to the County Council
of the present day-and it was as recent as 1900
before the twenty-eght boroughs now comprised
in extra mural London were created and mu-
nicipal corporations established therein, mod
elled after those set up by Parliament in pro-
vincial England in 1885. From 1885 to 1885
except for the creation of the Metropolitan
Board of Works and a great Improvement Of
the poor law hospitals, London was continu-
ously neglected by Parliament. Government
and Parliament were alike afraid of the vested
interests which had thriyen enormously under
the msrule of the vestries, and it is one of the
aims of Mr.. Jephson's Sanitary Evolution of
London to show what this long neglect cost the
people of London in misery, disease and death.
No more sombre sociological document has
ever been issued from English printing press.
1t shows that governments and parliaments did
not move for the sanitary betterment of Lon
don-for purer water, adequate sewers, more
daylight in dwellings and oversight over thou
sands of germ laden hoVes-unti the metropo-
lis had been devastated by pestilence or a pes

Parliament did just little it dared; and

improvement were bestowed, taking their
from Parliament. and often actuated by self

the old corporations would have completely
failed in the discharge of their municipal func-
tons-long only secondary to e1ecting members
to the House of Commons-and would have col
lapsed altogether of the Irish municipal
corporations had done after the union in 1900,
had there been municipal reform act of 1880.
This act is the charter of modern municipal
government in England: for all there is that
is good in present day municipal life in Eng
land dates no further back than the clean
sweep that was made of the old corrupt munich
pal corporations seventy years ago.
The City of London was not included in the
provisions OF the act of 1S:s.- It's freeman fran
chise had not been warped to the same extent
similar franchises in the provincial cities.
Municipal government in the City had never
been subordinated TO the election Of its repre-
sentatives in the House Of Commons, and the
City of London had never had Parliamentary
or a municipal boss. Moreover the Wing gov
eminent that was responsible for the municipal
reform act of 1880 was afraid to interfere with
the City Of London-afraid to place it on quite
the same democratic basis as the provincial cor
poratons; and the City Of London is still to-
day the only surviving unreforIned municipal
corporation in the British Isles In the larger
Iondon-extra-mura LOndon-there in
1880 no municipal corporations such as existed
in provincial England There was at that time
a population in London OF nearly TWO fhllliolS'
but except within the City the municipal house
keeping Of this vast population was in the hands
of church vestries, many of them self-elected,
negligent and corrupt, and municipal govern
ment in this vast and thckly populated area
was Of the crudest and most elementary kind.
From 1885 onward municipal government in
provincial England made great strides, and
more than justified the act of 1S3J; but except
for the creation of the Metropolitan Beard of
Works, in 1859 and some comparatively minor
changes, it was 1888 before the larger affairs Of

interest ceased to make any real use Of their
new powers after the pestilence had passed
away and the panic 1t had caused had subsidized
Many of Mr. Jephson's statements, such as
those OF the general OF the sewage laden
Thames as drinking water; Of the thousands OF
families actually living over cesspOols. and OF
dense overcrowding in rookeres which covered
acres by the score only be described as ap-
paIling In reading them in these pages
almost involuntarily turns to the date to which
the statements apply hardly realizing that the
author is describing a London that is well
within the memory Of any man OF middle age.
But Mr. Jephson. as was shown by his His
tory of the Platform" IS scholarly historian.
and there are in his present volume authorities
mostly reports Of parochial medical officers OF
health-for every statement he makes lie
draws largely on these medical reports. 1t is
well for more than one reason that he does so,
for they show that the health officers of the
rious parishes were about the only men who
really cared for the sanitary bettcrment Of the
metropolis, and that in their zeal for sanitary
reform many of them took their careers In their
hands and risked their professional positions
and advancement when they insisted that the
parish vestries by whom they were appointed
should at least act up to the powers which
dilatory and negligent Parliament had conferred
upon them.
Mr Jephson brings out with clearncss how by
the creation of the County Council with its
great and extensive powers. in 1883, and by the
bestowal of municipal institutions on Greater
London in 1900, London was at last lifted out
of the slough in which it had been permitted
to walIow; how, after nearly seventy years of
criminal neglect by Parliament, it was given
municipal opportunities in line with those which
provincial England has enjoyed and made good
use Of since 1885. His work is a distinct add
ton to the social history of England

s. remains somewhat of an enigma but there
would seem to be every reason for accepting the
idea at which he glances, that We have here
,,or1rafr Of Baccio Bandinelli, an idea which is
effectively developed in the three brief essays by
DR. Rfrci Dr. Bode and Mr. Horne. There is
one phase Of analysis in this book bearing upon
puzzles Of attribution which is made especially
attractive through the candid presentation Of
all the evidence. The appearance in this coun-
fry af an old master known in other YER
siors abroad is a familiar incident Of the auc-
+iou room The complacent collector is apt
TO declare. If there is more than one version ex
tant of a work in his possession, that his is un-
doubtedy the original This is a very natural
and human way of looking at the thing, but Mr..
Ia FARCE and Mr.. Jaccaci, with the collectors
rerrcsented in their book have sought only TO
establish the truth The Portrait of Queen

which caused the old contention certain |

SCOTT AND THE ROu4NTICs.
iward Dowdan- in The london Nation.

Edward DOWden, IN The London Nation
The chief thing to remember is that Scott was,
as an artist al the centre Of one OF the fresh
movements Of his age and was advancing that
movement more than any other contemporary
in the region Of art The Romantic movement
in order that il might be saved from such crude
ektraYagances as those Of ScOtt'S friend Mat
thew Gregory Lewis, needed not only the puri-
foation and refinement Of romance, which it
found through Coleridge: il needed not only
the alliance Of the light that never was, on sea
Or land" with the realities Of life, which it
found through Wordsworth; ii needed also the
alliance Of romance with the historical ten
denCy which the nineteenth century had in
herlIed from the eighteenth.
To effect this alliance the work Of Scott,
and not alone in his prose writings. In this
alone there was work enough for lifetime
scott as a student Of history and an imagina-
I'VE reviver Of the past was far from nfallibe.
But with him the historical spirit supports and
fencers sane romance No stream of nine
;eenth century tendency has been more aff1uent,
none las flowed with a broader a sWifter cur
rem than the historical. II has affected every
province Of human thought except pure nathe-
iAailcs In going back TO the past Scott was

With few unimportant exceptions, all the
English provincial municipal corporations in
existence in 1885 were then reformed, and their
municipal administration was placed on a demo-
cratic basis. Their reform was then absolutely
necessary and could not be longer postp poned,
because of the extent to which most of the
porations between the early years of the seven
teenth century and 1882 had become interviewer
and hopelessly entangled in the warped and
corrupt representative system which the
House Of Commons elected. After the great
reform of the Parliamentary representation, in
1882, many Of the old municipal corporations
were left hanging. it were, in the air. The
men who had controlled them (when to control
them carried the power to name members from
them to the House of Commons ceased to have
any interest in the corporations after the Par
liamentary system had been reformed. Most of

MOTT-sMITH BELIEVES
He HAS FOUND FRAUD

Secretary Mott-Smith has discovered
what he believes is an organized con-
spiracy to furnish procured evidence in
support of Chinese applications for Ger
tifeates of Hawaiian birth. There are
eleven applications which are being
held up by him pending investigation
on this score, while one case has been
thoroughly Investigated and what is be-
lieved to be overwhelming evidence has
been secured. A warrant will in all
probability be sworn out on Monday
for the arrest of Wong Moon Tong.
Wong in his application for certificate
of Hawaiian birth swore that he was
born in the Ali block in 1881 and lived
there until 1900 when he went to China
returning the next year. Investigation
has led to the conclusion that he was
born in China and came here in 1896
when fifteen years old and that he
never lived in the Ali block He went
to China in 1902 and returned later in
the same year. He went under a differ
eiit name, but his identity is establish
ed by photographs. 1t is believed that
Wong getting wind of the investiga
tion set on foot has gone to Magdalena
bay.
Secretary Mott-Smith s suspicious
were aroused in this and other cases
because they insisted on securing Ter
ritorial certificates of Hawaiian birth
instead of certificates of American citi-
zenship from the Department of Com
merce and Labor through Inspector of
Immigration Raymond Brown. These
suspicious led to investigations that de-
veloped the perjury the Secretary be
lieves he has discovered
1t is stated that at least $50 such
certificates have already been secured
on perjured testimony.
