question is not to be dismissed in scorn
Nevertheless there arises a question
of vitality practical moment in this
connection. Let it be granted that
rockets can be built capable of flight
sufficiently sustained to carry them
across the ocean-putting out of
reckoning for the present the inter-
planetary possibility. What about
landing? 1t is difficult even now, with
all the development of the airplane
and the evolved skill of the pilot, to
bring g heavier -than-sir machine to
rest at the end Of the flight. But the
hurting missile Is another matter
Can it be controlled? Can it be
aimed? Can its speed be checked at
the end of the flight and the ponderous
mass eaSed down to a resting point
without jar to occupants or damage to
life and property on the surface?
Those questions remain, though they
may be regarded as postponable until
the rocket itself has been evolved and
demonstrates its capacity for trans
oceanic, not to mention interplanetary,
flight.

the lunar rocket, which has been often

though on a small scale. 1t is frankly
offered as an experiment, not as ven-

Society has been formed. and under its
auspices tests are to be made next

larger rockets. The first is to be seven
feet long, and it is estimated that it
will make an upward flight of about a
mile.

Report ON the Experiment.
rom the MllWaukee Sentlnel


Perusal of the 75,000-word report on
the experimental college of the Univer-
Sity of Wisconsin is a labor which can
be postponed without invalidating pref
atory comment. The newspaper synop-
ses are enough to corroborate precon-
ceived belief that no experiment in edu-
cation can be completed in four years.
No one can say as yet that the expert
ence Of the experimental college has
furnished a basis for new formula Of
teaching; on the other hand, no one
can say that the four years have been
misSpent
Obviously the experiment should be
continued. American education is in so
low condition that any carefully pre-
meditated exploration Of the possihili-
women be admitted to the con-
tlnuation Of the experiment, and cer-
tainly no one will object. An expert
ment consciously imposing a sex barrier
defeats itself. Hitherto the exclusion
of women was compelled by limitation
of equipment.
We predict that the experimental coll
lsge, If permitted to fulfill its purpose,
Will demonstrate that large schools and
herd education are bad When the
small group is adopted as the educa-
tional unit. We shall see more men and
women who are truly educated.

orty-three of the State Legislatures

forty-three Of the State Legislatures
meet next year and it will not be pos
sible for the required ratification by
three-fourths of the States to be ef-
fected until then.
Forty-two of the State Assemblies will
meet in 1898, seven more than the re-
quired number for final ratification.
Thirty-eight of these States meet bien-
nially, in the dd-numbered years
Alabama meets quarterly, the next ses-
sion being in 1885 Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi and Virginia meet bien-
nially in the even-numbered years.
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and South Carolina meet
annually.
Ratification by the necessary number
of the States. thirty-six, is confidently
expected, probably within the next
twelve or thirteen months. That ac-
ton, however would not effect the
amendment of the Constitution in sea-
son to permit the assembling in Janu-
airy, 1888. of the Seventy-third Con-
greSs which will be elected next No.
vember, or the Inauguration also in jan
uary of the President, who will be in
directly elected at the same time and
directly chosen by the electoral college
shortly after the November election.
Thus the change, assuming the ratifi-
cation by the States in 1888. will not
take place until January, 1884.
The proposing resolution adopted by
Congress specified time limit Of seven
years within which ratification by the
States must be effected. Virginia's
prompt action, in advance OF the
formal notification, may be regarded as
an indication that the time limit will not
be even closely approached.

Virginia First to Ratify.

Although not yet formally and Off
cially notified that the lame duck
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton had been proposed by Congress, by
two-thirds vote Of both House and
Senate, the Virginia Legislature on FIJI
dav gave its ratification, by a unani-
nous vote in the Senate and a vote
of 50 to - in the lower branch OF the
Assembly. This action was taken at
the suggestion Of Senator Glass in
order that Virginia should be the first
OF the States to approve the proposed
change in the national calendar The
time limit of the Virginia legislature
sixty days, expires a midnight on March
u, and as 1t holds biennial sessions
this prompt action was urged in order
that the Old Dominion should have the
honor of being first to give approval,
although time may yet remain for action
after the official notice is received.
The question has been raised whether
the Virginia action, in advance of
formal notification of the adoption OF
the amendment resolution by Congress,
is legal. 1t is held. however, by COM
petent authorities that the cfhcial in
formation is not essential, SO long as
the exact text OF the proposed amend
ment is before the Legislature. The
State Department will send out the

Irish Free State
Still Lacks Perfect Harmony.
Neues Wiener Tagblatt, Vienna
The Irish Free State is engaged in the
celebration of the tenth year of its
establishment. For the past decade
though peace has reigned between this
newest daughter of the British Empire
and the central government, the same
serenity cannot be said to exist within
the territories of the Free State itself,
where occasional and more or less vio-
lent debates and collisions reveal that
perfect harmony among its people Is
still a somewhat unattained ideal No
doubt the British government is well
content to be relieved of the intimate
responsibility for this former part of
the United Kingdom. The inhabitants
Of Ireland, and those of the southern
counties in particular, have always OBJ
jected to English control, and have op-
posed 1t as much as they could, or

Journal, while the st. Joseph Gazette
attests that "the public reaction through
out the country was certainly favorable
to the Governors presidential aSpira-

believes that should Tammany Hall
retaliate, that course would be helpful
toward bringing about Gov. Roosevelt'S S

shows few instances in which officials
have removed subordinates at possible
sacrifice of political fortune" the AS

closed Farley's activities so plainly that

Congress took action only with respect
to the District of Columbia, in which
the proposed compensation was about
$500 per head.

Economy at the District Building

Economy at the District Building.
The District Commissioners should
be able to obtain helpful advice in ef-
fecting operating economies at the Dis
trict Building from the committee of
municipal officials, appointment of
which has just been announced. One
gathers from the explanatory statement
accompanying the announcement that
the step is taken in conjunction with
the desire to cut down on overlapping
or duplicating functions at the District
Building and that this co-ordinating
body will meet at irregular intervals to
pool the ideas of its members and sub
nit them as recommendations to the
Commissioners
There is one precaution the Com
missioners might take at the outset.
That lies in adopting as regular policy
the practice of maki,g the general
recommendations of this co-ordinating
committee public and at least advising
the taxpayers of the nature of the
plans before ordering them into effect
1t might be recognized at the outset
that if the Commissioners expect to
reduce expenses by elimination of per-
sonnel or the curtailment of functions
or the reorganization of various sub
departments at the District Building,
any or all of such moves will tend to
create opposition from somebody. The
same sort Of opposition springs up
whenever similar attempts are made
affecting the Federal bureaus. and in
large measure accounts for the tedious
and delayed process Of Federal Gov
ernment reorganization. But it is to
be remembered, at the same time, that
if plans are well thought out and
possess obvious merit the Commission
ers have the final authority and can
exercise it despite opposition. More
harm and more criticism will follow
the execution of plans conceived in
secret than in announcing plans in
advance, inviting criticism and putting
them into effect If objections are not
sustained by sound facts.
The reason for a furor over the re-
cent shake-up in the Engineering De-
partment at the Municipal Building
was because the taxpayers were so ut
terly ignored by the Commissioners
that resentment against the secretive
proceedings followed as natural con-
sequence. After all, the local taxpayers
furnish most of the money that the Off
cials at the District Building spend.
They regard these officials as their own
public servants. They have no voice in
the matter of framing the budget at
the District Building, examining its pro-
visions in the Budget Bureau or in the
committee rooms or the floors of Con-
gress. They have right to expect an
invitation to cooperate with their
municipal officials in the fine objective
of saving pennies. 1t is only when
their existence is ignored that resent
ment becomes outspoken, and schemes
that may be perfectly logical and fair
are regarded openly with suspicion.

For which, in life's precarious span,
A mortal mind could call
We say, We'll give you ease and wealth
And keep you in the sun
Then Sorrow comes along by stealth
And sneers, 1T can't be done"
Some chap will seem to beat the game
And all that's good deserve
We envy him, but just the same
We like his sense and nerve.
We say. Well never let you lack
For fortune or for fun"
But sorrow makes you take it back,
Because it can't be done.
