came the interrOgatory climax: "WhC

SEE VALUE OF CLEAN CITY
Partisan Authorities Recognize That
Money Is Well Spent on the
Streets of the Capital.

Paris has accepted u~nfinchfngly the
doctrine that smooth and clean high
ways are a wise investment, and hat
so long as the work is done in a thor
ough and scientific manner with an
honest and skillful application Of
means to ends, the result is worth
having, regardless Of cost.
The expense of maintaining, clean
ing and sprinkling the streets is great
er than in any other European city;
but the sort of pr~e-eminence that such
a street service helps to secure Is
profitable in a hundred indirect ways.
Paris has by far the richest park
equipment Of any city in the world.
The area of parks within an after
moons excursion is 10000 acres, While
farther away are more extensive pub
lie grounds, such as Versailles and
Fontainebleau.
1t is impossible to estimate the prof
its which Paris derives annually from
it's parks. boulevards and public build
ings. Bankers have estimated that
Americans spend upward Of 100000
900, annually in foreign countries, and
1t is safe to say that Paris receives
at least One-ffth Of this vast sum, the
profits from which are as great as are
the profits from pork to Chicago,
shoes to st. Louis and beer to Nil
waukee.
The experience of Paris ought to
convince the most skeptical that there
IS no modern community of civilized
men which cannot afford to provide
the most perfect public appointments
that technical and scientific knowl
, edge have discovered; well-made and
clean streets, good water, proper
drainage, convenient transit facilities
| complete schools, and thorough SAM
tary organizations. No city should
think itself rich enough to prosper
without them, and no city is so poo1
that it cannot afford them.-The Out

GARDEN Is VILLAGE PRIDE
Achievement Of English Clergyman
That Is by No Means Impossl-
BILE of Duplication.

A charming and instructive picture
of what gardening skill may do for a
village is to be seen in one of the
most beautiful of H~ertfordshire ham
lets, writes an English correspondent.
The rector, who happens fortunately
to be owner of the ground divided in
to allotments, will probably have won,
before the year closes, a hundred
prizes at the principal English flower
shows.
The number he has already won ap-
prOacheS the greatest on record. The
feat has been accomplished without
the help of n skilled gardener; and
the whole of the two acres is worked
by the rector and a church official who
cannot give more than half his time
to the garden.
Yet in this old garden, over the way
from a rectOry at any rate as old as
the reign of Henry VIII, are to be seen
French beans Of a foo OF more in
length, celery fifteen inches in circum-
ference, bleached to perfection in pa
per wrappings, sweet peas equal to
those that have won at leading shows
and quantities of roses up to the -four
point standard Of the national shows
But the special interest of the gar
den is the part of 1t that has, so to
| speak. overfiowed into the neighbor
ing allotments. The rector's allotment
with the prestige belonging to a prize
winning patch, stands as a model; and
the example has already exercised g
surprising effect on the neighbol
plots.

hence the high cost of living.

President John H. Hammond of the league of Republican clubs was very sarcastic in his references to insurgen- cy at the leagues recent meeting. He divided Insurgents into five classes: First. the Calamity Howlers' who aim to create political chaos;s second, the Unintelligent Intellectuals; third, the Unctuous Rectitudists; fourth, the Su- burbanites who merge into the last class of Insurgents or Progressives.
 It is well that the Progressives should know the measure of the regard for them, which is entertained by the Regulars seeking their aid in the pending campaign. If the latter should carry the next Rpuse. the evident in tention is to read the Progressives, as above classified by MT Hammond, out of the party, as advised by Vice Pres ident Sherman, Speaker Cannon and others,
