broad river that floats the shipping

Ing the second city on earth. under an
other river Of large enough dimen-
sions for ship traffic and under
enough more ground to make re-
spectacle and comparatively level
emergence to the surface. The an

should come to New York and learn
how to burrow.
This is the foolish season in politics
as well as other things, which ac-
counts for the fact that former Police
Commissioner Bingham is being boom
ed for mayor. II Bingham has any
qualifications for mayor they have
not been listed and set before a grim
ming world. 1t must be admitted, Of
course, that he Is bigger man than
Mcclellan, but no community is In
duty bound to make two bit. .iders SIM
ply because it has made one. If it
comes to choice between Tam
many candidate and Bingham for
mayor | would favor putting up Het-
ty Green on third ticket and then
forget to so to the polls. Bingham
can make more noise than a boiler
works and do less execution than q
popgun. The only really good thing
that Mcclellan ever did was to fire
Bingham. To most Of us it seems
that there Is more than half a chance
to beat Tammany this year. but II the
independents take up Theodore A.
Bingham the campaign will be joke.
Senator Patrick Henry McCarren,
the Standard Oil serpent Of Brooklyn
politics, has been up to Boston. /
cannot conceive what would take Nc
CMren to Boston unless 1t were the
attraction of opposites, since the only
way in which one suggests the other
is. that each is so different. If man
were trying to think of the one thing
In all the universe most unlike Bos-
ton he would probably hit upon Nc
Cnrren. Notwithstanding this dissim-
ilarity the Brooklyn senator rather pat
ronizingly approves the Hub; says 1t Is
a great city-no as great as New York,
you know. or Brooklyn, but quite a
thriving village. After that the Low
ellis, the Adamses the Qulncys and
the other hiahbrows around Back Bay
ought to feel distinctly puffed up.
There afc loud yells at Ellis island
VIZ Williams, the new commissioner,
IS clnsin@ the door in the face of sew
eral thousand people who want to
make cur sell their home and our dol

assert that Commissioner williams re.
lures that each of them have 500 as
an evidence Of ability to keep out OF
the roorhouse. Mr.. Williams and his
assistants deny that the TWENTY-FIVE

that he is able to take care of himself
and viii not become a public charge.
Il Is practically the first time an effort
has been made to turn back the ever
increasing immigrant tide flowing into
fhe country. and it is being watched
With intense interest As n solution to
the new-old problem thus raised Jacob
II. Schif believes that not deportation
but distribution Of the immigrants ID
what Is needed. He would defect
them from the Atlantic seaboard
towns. especially New York. Many be
would send to the south. He seriously
recommends to people Of his own
blood, the Jews, that they voluntarily
settle In the south and other parts of
the country rather than In the con-
eested cities of the east. But. as Mr..
Williams is on the job and Mr.. Schiff
Is not. It is probable that deportation
will be the policy pursued. and behind
Commissioner Williams In this work
appears the strong hand Of the United
states government.
After taking several prizes and max

novice. The novice also wrecked his
arm. his self confidence and his thumb.
Boys will be boys, but lodgings al

will Mr.. Luther Burbank please turn
his attention from the culture Of seed

Invention Of an accidentless aeroplane?
