Town Planning.
From the New York Tribune.


In the town planning exhibition that is
to be held here next month the committee
on congestion resumes the work which 1t
began last year to attract public atten-
ttOn to some Of the larger problems of
this city. The Theory of town planning is
that by intelligent looking ahead a city
can be made more comfortable. healthful
and beautiful in the future than If It's de-
velopment is left to take its natural
course. 1t is familiar observation that
If the early builders Of New York could
only have foreseen that this city was go
Ing to be something more than village
they would not have laid out streets like
Nassau street. and that If their successors
had only realized that New York would
some day be longer from north to south
than from east to west they would have
turned about the street and avenue and
long and short block system that they
laid out uptown. II they could have
looked ahead, they would have provided
breathing spaces and Fairgrounds when
agination, they would not have permitted
the solid blocks of .'old law" tenements
But we are not profiting today by their
failures. New York can clearly enough
look ahead now, but it Is not looking
ahead. Some day when the outlying bor
oughs which have been added to 1t are
built up in unsuitable tenements without
be lamenting the fact that the present
generation could not foresee how the city
would grow. But the public can foresee
sufficiently today to act intelligently-only
it will not. 1t regulates the way an indi-
vidual builds a house, it's inspectors
watching him closely and reporting tech
nical violations against him. 1t will not
permit single house to be built haphaz-
ard; but 1t let's the city be built haphaZ-
ard. 1t is penny wise and pound foolish

A Lesson for Parents.

A thirteen-year-old girl disappeared
from the home Of her wealthy parents
last Friday afternoon and Immediately a
search was started, the theory that
she had been kidnapped. A reward Of
5000 was offered and New York was
thrown into great excitement. Yesterday
she returned home from Boston. where
she had gone Of her own volition. She
had found employment as a waitress and
had become tired Of her enterprise when
she cut her finger. Homesickness con-
quered the spirit of independence.
This girls explanation of the reason
for her escapade Is worthy of serious
study by parents. She complains that
she was Inundated by having a maid sent
with her to school, and that she was
treated on all occasions as incapable of
thought and unworthy to be trusted. On
the day OF her departure she was moved
to take the step by being minutely in
structed by her mother how to reach her
home from a downtown shop. She felt
that it was no longer necessary to be
treated like little child. She longed for
freedom Of action, and she foolishly
struck OF at a tangent, without thought
of the agony she was causing her
parents.
The girl acted in a silly, selfish manner,
it Is true, but she is not wholly to blame
There Is a large measure of responsible
ity resting upon the elders. who failed to
study her temperament. to recognize her
need of greater liberty. Many parents
make this mistake of treating their chill
dren without reference to the personal
differences between individuals. In the
same family there will be widely distinct
types and each child presents a separate
problem Of training and development and
discipline for the parents to solve. In
the matter OF freedom of action especially
Is there need of the greatest care and the
wisest discrimination. Restraint and
close guardianship may be necessary In
one case and harmful in another. in the
same family. The child who is closely
hedged In by restrictions may, in fact,
be really In need chiefly of a little lib
erty. real or imagined. But 1t is never
safe to allow child to feel the strain OF
parental suspicion. Perfect frankness be-
tween parents and children Is more ef-
fective than rules and safeguards in the
development Of character.

| four p's mentioned should spell another
lp-prosperity. But is 1t the proper time
| for the strenuous. lady to abate her zeal
| for temperance and take her ease on q
farm watered by babbling brooks and all
| that sort of thing? Temperance is
marching on. and women are foremost
In the procession. They are not welding
hatchets, but their songs and services at
the polls are counting in the state legis-
lation Of the day. Without their aid the
anti-saloon propaganda would not have
made half the impression it has.
In the case of Coin Harvey there is
good reason for retirement. He took the
free silver tide at the food. and swept
on to fortune. He knew his business.
He knew when to quit. After entertain
ing the country with his sums" and
convincing many people that free silver
was the only hope of a renewal of pros
perity, he saw his remedy rejected at the
polls. and prosperity set In without it..
Then was his time for disappearing. and
he took a header into Arkansas, where
he has since addressed himself to agri-
culture instead OF to treacherous mathe-
matics. Whether he has changed his
opinions about free silver is not known.
Nor does it matter. He prospered by
advancing them. and the country pros
pered by rejecting them. land all went
merry as a marriage bell' for both sides.
Mr.. Bryan could afford to keep the
field. He had other cries with which to
attract and entertain the multitude. But
Coin Harvey had only one, and when
that ceased to draw: when cruel fate and
the real multiplication table, working
together, outcried him, he acted wisely in
pocketing his royalties, bowling his head
and seeking retreat. Why he should
have selected Arkansas is not so clear.
Where JEFF Davis had so long been a
force in politics. and was then the rising
hope of those who wanted things stirred
up" seemed hardly the place for man
who had tackled the world, was tired of
the struggle, and was now anxious for
quiet and repose.

formers and fellow citizens. Can one

Ninety-Cent Gas.

A voluntary reduction in the price OF gas
was yesterday announced by the WASH
ington Gas Light Company. from 81 a
thousand cubic feet to 90 cents. The con-
sumers' bills will be cut down by 10 per
cent after the first of next July.
For this reduction. whether 1t was made
from fear Of a heavier reduction by con-
gressional action or as a shrewd business
move to induce heavier consumption, the
people of Washington are thankful. The
gas company is to be congratulated In
either case upon its evidence of clearer
understanding Of the situation in the Dis
trict and at the Capitol.
1t has long been evident to the local
consumers of gas that the ilumnant
could be made and distributed at less
than a dollar a thousand and yield good
profit to the company Evidence has been
adduced before the District committees to
this effect. The House last winter passed
a bill reducing the price to S5 cents and
later Senator Gallinger introduced a sub
stitute fixing the price at 80 cents. 1t
was plain that II the measure had reached
the stage of final consideration the rate
would have been reduced by not less than
10 cents q thousand. The company's ac-
ton stands as a frank acknowledgment
of the possibility Of making and distribut-
ing gas at a profit at the higher OF the
two rates named in the bills pending in
Congress at the March adjournment.
Whether this voluntary reduction.
doubtless anticipating legislative compul-
sion by a few months, is intended to
cneck further reductions in the near fu-
ture remains to be seen. Much will depend
in, cOnnacfi0n wnr1x 0f the
company in remedying the evil of which
the consumers have lately been bitterly
complaining-the presence of carbon
monoxide in the gas. 1t will be recalled
that while the House District committee
was considering this matter during the
last session of the Sixtieth Congress Sen
ator Gallinger's bill was presented with
a paragraph limiting the carbon monoxide
permissible in the gast 10 per cent This
issue remains undetermined. The gas
now supplied to consumers contains a
higher percentage of the poison, rang
occurred in this city. attributed officially
to the excessive presence of this deadly
gas In the illunlinant and to its liberation
In certain conditions Of combustion for
heating purposes.
Inc ga6-uSlng puOilc Will not rest con-
tent with q mere reduction in the rate
as long as the gas remains poisonous to
the extent that tests have fully demon
strated. II the company will not volun-
tarily proceed to correct this evil. by the
substitution of other methods Of manufac-
ture. the community will look to Congress
at Its next regular session to enact q
law which will guarantee the public se-
curity by placing low limit upon the
permissible poison in the gas.

Arkansas as a Retreat.

A dispatch from Harrison, Ark, says:
with money derived from the sale Of
souvenir hatchets during her campaigns
through streets and slums In behalf OF
the temperance cause, Carrie Nation, the
Kansas champion saloon smasher, has
purchased an extensive tract of land in
this (Boone) county, where she expects
10 spend the remainder of her days
Poultry pigs pigeons. peas and the ia
nous Boone county apples will be
raised in quantity by Mrs. Nation. ac-
cording to the announcement OF her agent
who completed the deal. The Kansas
Cycloness' according to the best infor-
nation. has been prevailed upon to move
from her present home by the persuasion
of Coin Harvey, who located in Ar
kansas after his 'sixteen-to-one cam
paign for Bryan. 1t is also believed that
the pure mountain air in this vicinity
combined with the sober atmosphere and
abundance of crystal water in Boone
caused Mrs. Nation to abandon the wheat
belt In Kansas for the less strenuous
life here. 1t Is said her anti-saloon cam
paign has ended for good"

The Spoil Of the Chase.
From the Baltimore American.

Although Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet
brought his elephant guns into play upon
the armor-plate hide Of a rhinoceros, he
has fired the gun that has sounded around
the world. Never has Nimrod taken a
shot with such wide public audience as
greeted Mr.. Roosevelt's shots at a
Thompson gazelle and the gnus. He has
already taken a spoil of the chase. and
henceforth the ardor Of the hunt will burn
in his blood. Imagination pictures him
lodging smallpox and jungle fevers. made
impervious to inquisitive germs by large
potions of immunizing drugs and encased
in mosquito netting to avoid the bites of
disease-injecting insects. Thus fortified
he plunges into the miasmi, always having
cheerful vistas of certain ranches where
hospitality is dispensed with largesse.

The Income Tax DebAte.

Fifteen years ago, according to the
| record Mr.. Bailey produced yesterday,
Mr.. Aldrich declared an income tax
| In time of peace to be a populistic
proposition. The Rhode Island senator
was speaking from his place on the re-
publican side of the Senate chamber, and
none Of his republican associates in that
body said him nay. But did all Of them
| really agree with him? Had the PROPOSE
tion been presented in different circum-
ST tances, some of the western republican
| senator's might have supported it. But
the responsibility for the tariff bill then
under consideration was with the demo-
Gratis, and the republicans were voting
upon the tariff question as whole. The
income tax was caught in the bad COM
pany Of the customs schedules prepared
by the democrats, and suffered on the re-
publican side of the chamber accordingly.
At that time David b. Hill was the
only democratic senator to vote against
the tariff bill Of his paey because it con-
tained the income tax feature. He, too,
pronounced the tax populistic. But there
is reason to believe that he was not the
only democratic senator holding that
view. Those who agreed with him were
coerced into accepting the tax by the
argument that q tariff bill must be
passed, and by the assertion that no bill
without an income tax could be passed.
He alone took the ground that it would
De better for the party in the long run
| to pass no bill at all than one containing
SO complete q surrender to populism on
so important point.
Since then a good deal of water has
passed under the bridge. Populism has
lost much of its former terror: The Ocala
platform, once the butt of abundant ridi-
cule, has ceased to barb jokes. A man
who In 1892 voted for the populistic can
didate for President has three times
| been nominated by the democratic party
for that Office, and two Of the nomina-
tions have been Endorsed by the popu-
list party. In 1895, in order to insure
Mr.. Bryan the. full populist support. a
populist associate on the national ticket
was provided. While Sewell of Maine
was the appeal to democrats. Watson OF
Georgia was the appeal to populists.
And today the President of the United
States, republican, cannot be quoted
against an income tax. He Is not urging
the tax, but he believes in it's constitu-
tionality, and a bill carrying it for the
purpose of raising revenue would not be
vetoed by him. But was Mr.. Cleveland
| in 1894 opposed to the income tax pro-
vided in the bill of that year? He did
not refuse to sign the German Wilson
bill because of that feature, but because
| of the rejection by the Gormanites Of the
| free raw material program of Mr.. Wilson
and his friends of the House. Let the
Bailey-Cummins-Ald debate go on. 1t
| Is full of the most interesting matter.
