TRYING TO ESCAPE THE INEVITABLE. Democrat and Chronicle places with Brooklyn. Boston, which was fifth, has fallen below St. Louis, and Baltimore has easily passed both of these cities, thus rising from seventh to fifth, while Boston drops from fifth to seventh. San Francisco has probably taken eighth place from Cincinnati.

We feel it our duty to state that of a number of different kinds of Baking Powder purchased in a neighboring city for examination, the only one we found made of Pure Grape Cream of Tartar, and that did not contain any Alum, Acid Phosphates, or Ammonia, and that was absolutely free from adulterations, was Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder. it ii 1 ii I i i 1 i i i 1 1 1 i I 1 i Entered at the Pott-Oflee at Rochester, jr. as Second gam Af ail Af atUr.

The Buffalo newspapers have agreed to accept an increase of 5 cents a bushel in the duty on barley. The duty is now 10 cents a bushel. The McKinley bill fixed the duty at SO cents and the Senate finance committee reduced it to 25 cents a bushel. The Buffalo newspapers claim that maltsters have invested 7, 500, 000 in malt houses to handle Canadian barley, and that a duty of 25 cents a bushel will ruin the business and injure the elevating Interest of Buffalo.

There should be some sympathy for Builalo, but that city has taxed the canals of this state for years to bupport its elevating interests, and has cut off about all the benefits that should have accrued to canal commerce by the abolition of tolls. Ferhaps the Senate will listen to the present complaint on the barley tariff and adopt a tariff of 15 or 20 cents a bushel. But the Senate cannot afford to sacrifice agricultural interests to the malting interests. TO DISCOURAGE INDECENT DRESSING. The authorities at Atlantic City have evidently grown tired of a promiscuous study of the human form divine, and young men have been notified that they must dress themselves properly when bathing.

The semi-nude toilet which has been in vogue for the last few years is placed under the ban of the law, and those who persist in violating decency will be liable to fine and imprisonment. Unquestionably this is a step in the right direction and the restriction should be made to apply to women as well as to men. The scandalous brevity and transparency of bathing costumes generally worn at fashionable summer resorts has been greatly exaggerated by the so-called racy press correspondents, but enough is true to prompt a sweeping reformation. Immodesty is not less immodest because it is paraded on the beach and the abuse has been strengh-ened by toleration. The great majority of men and women, it is safe to say, do not violate the canons of good taste in the selection of a bathing suit, but there is a small minority quick to embrace the opportunity to attract attention by wanton exposure.

Is is this class which the authorities at Atlantic City mean to suppress and the same class at other public resorts by the sea should receive similar treatment. DEPLORABLE SILENCE. The Union refuses to commend the action of the Excise Board in revoking the licenses of men who violated the Sunday law on the ground that it cannot be deceived by the chaff Mr. Pom Dickinson blows through the Excise Board of the late Mayor Parsons. The astuteness of our neighbor is something marvelous, but while it is in an explanatory mood will it not inform a curi-I ous public why it has no words of praise or I encouragement for the police officers who I performed their duty so valiantly last Sun- The police department is under Democratic control and presumably there is no I chaff blown through that Democratic chan-I nel to deceive the suspicious I and sensitive Union.

The re-: awakened vigilance of the policemen was I caused by the energy and conscientiousness ijof the Mayor for whom the Union stood as sponsor and it would certainly be becoming in the Union to felicitate the Mayor, the police officials and itself upon the new life given to a movement with which it is so I closely identified. 1 The public remembers with gratitude the Union's valuable aid in starting the crusade against bundav liquor selling and it will be loth to entertain the idea that the sturdy temperance advocate has grown weary of well doing. hi AN ISSUE CLEARLY DEFINED. 'te It is always a pleasure to quote from the of the Innkeeper's Journal, a weekly paper devoted to the interests of the 1 retail aeaiers in strong ana spinious liquors, 1 wine, ale and beer. In a recent issue it charges the Reoublican Legislature with I designedly omittine a provision for an aD 1 1 J-propriaiion to defray the expenses for the 1 submission of the Prohibition amendment 1 and comments as follows 1 Now what does all this prove? It proves that Vie Republicans will resort to any method to carry the stats this fall.

Can anything-, then, Le clearer than the strict duty of the liquor dealers in this emergency? They have It i in their power to so change the i political complexion of our next Legislature fas to make the submission of the Prohibition 1 imnendnient an impossibility. They cud, if they make that Legislature a Democratic one. VI hey have very urgent reasons to do so, and to a victory tiiey must commence work at I once. Their enemies are alert and aggressive; will be squelched forever in this state, so they wiu combine with the Itepuuncans, no matter Low much they ir.ay rave and tear now. It is Vie onlv thing they can do.

If any dealer votes than fur Democratic candidate!) he Is vnt- I Lrig against himself and inviting a deserved deft 1 The Jnkeepers' Journal has defined the i situation of the liquor men and of the Pro- PhibiuomsU' with commendable candor. 5 If they (the Prohibitionists) are defeated I jj now, they will be squelched forever in this state. The only way cf insuring that do-t. feat is by the election of a Democratic Leg-1 1 lslature. A Republican Legislature means I tho submission of the Prohibition amend-! ment to a vote of the state.

For the pro-I tection of their own interests liquor men I will vote for the Democratic nominees. 1 How will the Prohibitionists vote If they follow the advice of the Voice they will do ton, Is a 000k on the steamer St. Croix, on a Western river. JoHtr M. Lockwood, of Sturgis, Mich.

has a rare specimen of a freak of nature. It is a little lamb whioh walks on its front feet only, its hind feet not touching the ground. It is quite a lively little animal, and follows the rest of the flock all over the field. It is quite a curiosity, aud presents an amusing appearance as it stands or runs around the lot balancing itself on its front feet. An Englishman from Central America tells the Chicago Tribune that the queerest hotel is in Guatemala City.

You are called by flies. The flies down there are nearly as large as an English sparrow, and they sing like a hornet, though the bite is not poisonous. They never kill them, but brush them away. The halls of the hotel are filled with these pests in the morning. Over each door is a transom.

Now, if you leave a call for 7 o'clock your transom ia opened at 7 and the flies go in. Do they wake you? I should say so. The sensation is like tnat of being sand-bagged. In five minutes from the time your transom is opened you are down stairs looking for the proprietor. It doesn't do any good to kick, though, for that system has been the custom for years.

Rochester's Water Supply. To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle. Sir The capacity of Rush reservoir for every tenth of a foot in depth was figured with the greatest care and the result published in the report of the Executive Board for 1877. The conduit from Hemlock lake runs into Rush reservoir, and when the inlet gates at Mt. Hope reservoir are shut tho pipe from Rush to Mt.

Hope is full of water and the city draws only from Mt. Hope. All the water received from the lake then runs into Rush reservoir, and can run nowhere else. The measurement of the amount of water gained in Rush under these conditions during twelve hours is just as conclusive as if the observations extended over twenty-four hours, in view of the fact that the levels taken during every hour of the twelve showed that the flow was regular a steady rise during the experiments. In fact, the measurements taken by Mr.

Ifichols at Rush reservoir and upon which was based the figure of 9, 293, 000 gallons per day, which has been accepted by Mr. 'lubbs heretofore, extended over a period of only eight hours. An account of these measurements, with the formula for computing the capacity of compound pipe which they were held to supersede or modify, over the signature of Mr. Tubbs, will be found in the report of the Executive Board for 1877, at page 63 and, while it is true that in this paper Mr. Tubbs suggests the advisability of making further observations, there is no suggestion in the paper that he has any doubt of the accuracy of Mr.

Nichols's results. The whole discussion since the summer of 18s8 has been befogged and unduly prolonged by the impossibility of inducing Mr. Tubbs to make such an experiment himself, pr to consent to its being made by others. He has always claimed to kuow all about it, and has insisted that it was an unnecessary and a dangerous thing to do. If he is correctly reported, he says again that he cannot make the measurement himself until we have more water, and begs for a suspension of judgment.

With regard to all this, it needs to be pointed out that the measurements have been made twice by men at least as competent to make them as he is. Any man who can use a level is equal to such work, and the evidence is conclusive and proves that, whatever may be the cause, we are not receiving over 6, 600, 000 gallons of water per day into Rush reservoir, and any delay because of Mr. Tubbs' obstinate adherence to his opinion or for any other sentimental reason would be criminal at this crisis. Either the conduit never carried over seven millions in twenty-four hours, or it is crippled now. If present indications are of any value, something happened about two years ago which reduced the flow of the conduit about one -third; whether it was the collapse of a wrought iron section, an accumulation of sand or other material, or a complication by failure of automatic or other air valves, an obstruction at the inlet, or something else, it has always been a simple matter for the engineer in charge to measure the supply actually received, aud knowing the amount of the loss, to discover the cause of the trouble and apply a remedy.

This is so obvious that, as he has persisted in his refusal to do so, the only question would seem to be in what terms to characterize his delinquency. To assume that the conduit never had any greater capacity than its present performance is to assume that the estimates of Messrs. Nichols, Tubbs, Kuichling, Fteley and Fanning are all unsound, as they all agree substantially on a figure in excess of 9, 000, 000 gallons per day, and would also require us to believe that the use of water in Rochester jumped, in 1888, from about fifty-six gallons per capita to eighty odd. It was the curious fact that Mr. Tubbs's published statements of the use of water could not be made to agree within two and a half mil lions a day that first interested the writer in the water question, but the explanation that a mysterious mathematician or official ghost was really responsible for these figures and had made a mistake bad to answer, as no tests or measurements were permitted to be made.

The projected filling of Rush reservoir made a measurement possible and secured it, and the result unpleasant as it i9 puts the Executive Board in a position to deal with tho matter intelligently and promptly. As the traditions of nearly twenty years had to be set aside, it is, perhaps, not remarkable that it should have taken bo long to make a real beginning, for the water workB discussion is only just begun. The Hemlock water supply is to-day about two-thirds what has been supposed a prompt and rigorous application of meters, the infliction of adequate penalties for wasting water and a management of the supply by the Executive Beard in such a way as to prevent the calamity of an empty reservoir is demanded, whether the conduit can be made to furnish 3,000,000 gallons more per day or not, because the hot and dry months are upon us and it is not to be assumed because the shortage has been proved to exist that therefore it can be remedied in a few hours, or even days. We are Bailing too close to the wind. Respectfully yours, James G.

Buffalo Kcpress. From present appearances the Republicans of Pennsylvania have a good deal of confidence in Senator Quay. He has pretty much his own way in the state convention, and the Democratic attempt to kill off the iudef atiga-Dle Republican worker is a dismal failure. Buffalo Commercial, Colonel, Robert G. Inqersoll.

in a brief conversation on political subjects yesterday, made a remark that contains a good deal of concentrated common sense. Speaking of Mr. Elaine he said "So long as Mr. Blaine lives he is always liable to be nominated for president. This is true, and it does not imply, either that Mr.

Blaine is in any sense a candidate for presidency. Brooklyn Times. The action of the House of Representatives yesterday in refusing to concur in the Senate amendments to the Silver bill apparently has defeated the free coinage scheme in the present session of Congress. Should the two houses agree to pass a measure in all essential respects identical with tho caucus bill as it went to the Senate, the free coinage danger wiil be removed for a time. Buffalo Courier.

A magazine article which soberly di90us-ses the theory that the sun is losing its heat and the earth is growing colder, with the result that the human race shall finally be frozen out, is attracting some attention just now. In view of the recent iceless winter and the present elevated condition of the mercury, it will be necessary to put the theory in a patent ice machine to prevent it from spoiling. Troy Times. Ma. Blaine's objection is not that there is too much protection, but that there is too much free trade.

He thinks before we allow, not ourselves, only, the freedom of sugar, we should see what we can get for the privilege that would help the farmers. This is merely carrying protection a little further than McKinly does, and the suggestion is substantially irresistible. It docs not necessarily disturb the Republicans in the least, but it knocks the uncler-pinuing out from the Democratic party. Brooklyn Standard-Lnion. The Chicago Tribune says of the French Canadians in the United States While they previously had resisted all efforts at fusion with the English-Canadians, they have succumbed easily to Americanizing influences.

In another generation the process will be complete. These young French-Canadians will be metamorphosed into patriotic Americans, speaking the American language and in future processions they will have no flag but the starry banner. In twenty-five or thirty years at most they will be indistinguishable from the ordinary American citizeus. This result indicates the marvelous digestive powers of the great Americanizing maw. CURRENT TOPICS Nearly one hundred typewriters are employed in the Census Bureau at Washington.

It is estimated that there are 13, 000 different kinds of postage stamps in the woild. A Howell, Mich. justice of the peace recently sentenced a man to fifteen days in the county jail for stealing an umbrella on a rainy day.

Strawberry tea is the outcome of a new industry in Germany in the utilization of the young leaves of the strawberry plant as a beverage.

Dr. Luys says that seeing through a closed door is possible to a hypnotized person. The optic nerve acquires such power that a man has been known to read a paper with his eyes bandaged, and to distinguiih the color of glass balls through a wooden screen. When the train stopped at Jersey City, the other day, a man was noticed among the passengers who had an immense bouquet in his hand. He was a convict on his way to the Penitentiary and the flowers were intended to hide the handcuffs from the public view.

Almost any religious enthusiast, it seems, can convert a heathen. In New Zealand a Mormon convention has just closed its sittings, at which it was officially reported that there are 3, 000 Mormons in that colony and that 500 converts were made during the past year. Robert Locis Stevenson is so charmed with his beautiful Samoan home, with its six waterfalls, that when he reaches England ia October he will sell his household effects, wind up his affairs in Scotland, and return to complete the span of his existence under the Southern sun. Accordinq to the New Orleans Times. Democrat the census returns from some parishes in Louisiana indicate that the white are increasing in a greater ratio than the blacks in that state.

In Red River parish for instance, the increase in the last decade has been Whites 44. 2 per cent. negroes, 27. 3 per cent. A daughter of General Lyon, the Con-necticut hero who served in the Mexican and Civil wars, and who left all his property to the government to assist 'in carrying on the latter war, has been found serving as a cook in a graders camp near Denver, CoL, where her husband, an invalid, was a workman.

It is stated, also, that the wile of Charles H. J. Taylor, of Atlanta, Oa. who served as minister to Siberia under President Cleveland, proposes to hold a convention of colored men in Atlanta for the purpose of persuading his brethren that they can gain the rights now denied them by voting the Democratic ticket. Mr.

Taylor ought to try the experiment. Even the most ignorant colored man in the South must see that Mr. Taylor's theory is illogical. What the negroes want is the right to vote any ticket, like other citizens, and to have their votes counted as cast. The right to vote the Democratic ticket alone is not the right guaranteed by the constitution.

and Mr. Taylor will find difficulty in persuading his brethren that the right to vote the Democratic ticket Is of especial value, lie is simply helping his Democratic masters to meet the measure now pending in Congress to enforce the right of every citizen to vote as he chooses. But the issue cannot be successfully met in this way. It simply shows the desperation of the Bourbon leaders when driven into a corner and forced to face the great question of equal rights before the law. This question has been evaded for twenty years by various devices, one of which was the raising of the free trade issue by President Cleveland.

This issue was forced on him by the Southern loaders, who desired to keep the question of equal rights in the South out of publio discussion as much as possible. With the tariff question out of the way the other issue can not be escaped. The equal rights issue will soon come be fore congress in shape for decision, and it cannot be escaped by raising side issues. If the Southern leaders were wise they would not longer stand as champions of a system which nullifies the constitution. NO SITE FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR.

There i3 trouble in Chicago about the lake front as a 6ite for the World Fair. To make this site available, it will be neces sary to dump a good many thousand loads of dirt on land that is now covered by water. A part of this manufactured terri tory is to be ceded to the Illinois Central Railroad Company, in exchange for some of the company's present real estate. But the railroad company will get so much more land than it gives, that the fair managers think the city ought to receive about a million and a half dollars to boot. The railroad men refuse to pay any money, and so there is a hitch in the proceedings.

The Chicago Tribune says that if the road refuses to pay that million and a half and the fair should be driven from the lake front to some other site, and for any cause the exposition should not be a success, the Illinois Central would become immensely unpopular. But the settlement of this difficulty would not end all trouble. The Tribune says To add to the perplexities it Is by no means certain that the National Commission win accept the lake front even if tendered. A majority of its members may think the 250 acres it would afford, too small a space. Pome of them are talking of a thousand acres.

Many are dis inclined to split the fair in two parts, liut the site question has not been presented to the com mission in any form, nor can it be till the city and the railroad have agreed, or have agreed to differ regarding the lake front. So it will be seen that the situation presents many complications. It is reported by telegraph that the lake front, site will be abandoned and that the national commission will be invited to inspect other localities. The question of where to hold the fair is thus still an open one, with no solution in There seems to be an accumulation rather than a removal of difficulties. Perhaps the national commissioners will be able to extract order from the confusion which at present prevails.

THE GROWTH OF CITIES. Nothing is more interesting in the present age to the thoughtful student of sociology than the immense increase in wealth and population of the cities of this and other countries within the past twenty years. In this country especially is this noticeable. There has been not only a wonderful increase in the population of the towns and cities previously existing, but in every state of the Union there have been many new ones established. This has been due to a variety of causes, among which, aside from immigration and the natural increase of population, may be mentioned the introduction of labor saving machinery in agriculture and the arts.

With proper sanitary regulations and rapid transit there would seem to be no end to the growth of our cities. In this connection some facts in regard to their growth during the past ten years as shown by the present census will be of peculiar interest. The figures given are not exact, as accurate statistics have not yet been announced, but enough information has been gained to show 6ome very interesting facts. New York is found to have a little over 1,630,000 inhabitants, an increase in the last ten years of about 425, 000 Philadelphia, 1,040,000, increase St. Louis, 430,000, increase 79, 000 Boston, 417,000, increase Cincinnati, 000, increase 50, 000 Louisville, increase 57, 000 Columbus 113, 000t increase 61,000.

Tho percentage of gain has been New York, 35 per cent. Philadelphia, 23 per cent. St. Louis, 23 per cent. Boston, 15 per cent.

Cincinnati, 20 per cent. Louisville, 46 per cent. and Columbus, 120 per cent. New York makes the best showing, and this, too, without extension of the city limits. Tho increase is equal to the entire population of St.

Louis or Boston, and makes New York the third city of the world. If it could have credit for the population of Brooklyn, Jersey City and IIo-boken which are in all essential respects save government a part of the metropolis, its rank would be second only to London. Paris with 2, 300, 000 inhabitants would be beaten by half a million. The other cities have also wonderfully increased their respective populations, Columbas, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville showing a much greater gain both relatively and absolutely than for the preceding decade.

Columbus has more than doubled the number of its inhabitants. Philadelphia with a much greater population falls only a little behind the record of the preceding decade. Boston, which leaped from 250,000 in 1870 to in 1880 shows less than half so great an increase this time. The great falling off is oDly apparent, however, most of the astonishing increase in the preceding ten years being due to the annexation of suburbs. In regard to comparative rank New York is, of course, first, Philadelphia is probably second and Chicago third, having exchanged BISHOP POTTER AT HARVARD.

Bishop Henry C. Potter, of New York city, yesterday delivered the annual oration before the Phi Beta Kappa society of Harvard University. The subject was The Scholar and The State. It is probable that he was invited to deliver the oration, because recent utterances on political questions had created the impression that his views would not antagonize those held by the ruling powers at Harvard. In the course of the oration, Bishop Potter justified the expectations of Harvard by pointing to David A.

Wells as an eminent example of a scholar who had performed his duty to the state, and by making a very bitter reference to pensions for veterans of the Union. This reference did not show the scholar to advantage. He went so far as to compare the surviving soldiers of the Union with the Pretorian Guard which demanded that the Roman empire be disposed of at auction. This comparison was unworthy the bishop, but there is no evidence that it was distasteful to those who recently desecrated the memorial to the soldiers of Harvard and dishonored the statue of John Harvard. It is bad enough to poison the minds of the undergraduates, but worse to make an effort to drag the alumni down to the modern level of Harvard.

Barring the bitter attack on the veterans. Bishop Potter's oration contained much good suggestion. The Scholar and the State is a well-worn theme, but its discussion is always in order. The Bishop's views, apart from his examples, are worthy of all acceptation. The sum and substance of the oration is contained in the following sentences: The community of the Phi Beta Kappa 13 supposed to represent the flower of our American colleges.

For now more than a century it has enrolled among: its associates those whose gifts and attainments have earned for them, during their college life, the highest recognition. Surely such distinction ought to illustrate itself in unselfish service for the 6tate. From this no preoccupation with other cures can wholly excuso any one or us: and it is impossible not to own that in such a trained force, if once it should arouse itselr to its opportunity, the highest interest of the nation might rightly look to find their best defenders. Is is not criticism, merely, or largely, that we want, nor is it organization. Of the latter, with its easy loss of the sense of personal responsibility, it is doubtful whether we have not too much already.

It is individual service, personal Influence, the sense of solitary re-ponsibility, the 011 spoken word, the courageous stand, the helpful suggestion or warning, whenever these may dispel ignorance, or strengthen resistance to evil, or stimulate to honest endeavor. There is a great host of patriotic well-wishers of their country all over the 'and who honestly believe in her great destiny and earnestly desire to servo her. And these are they whom the trained minds of tboBe who, as Bacon wrote, have been trained to master the problems that concern a nation's best life by thinking through" them, can often aud greatly serve. But to do so they must be willing to sacrifice something of their leisure and something more of their love of ease. They will not always or often, perhaps, find such service a pleasant task, but they wiil not fail sooner or later to find it a fruitful one.

There will be those who will bo eager to denounce the pessimism of a patriot who has not learned to echo the shameless cry, Our party and our country, right, or wrong. But all thoughtful and ingenuous minds will own that in the domain of patriotism he aud he aioue is a pessimist who despairs, not of bad men, but of the worth of any appeal to good who is without faith ia men's nobler instincts of truth and honor, who reckons all manhood as equally base aud purchasable and corrupt, who dismisses every regard for those chivalric aspirations which alone have made men or nations great, as so much irrelevant sentimentalism, and who would appeal in the strifes of party only to that in human nature which is the most ignoble and unworthy. Surely this is pessimism, this despair of virtue, and goodness aud of the obligatious of duty, the rankest and most faithless. This call to duty will eventually be heard. Those who desire to see the elevation of politics above a mere scrambling for office and its spoils, must learn to labor with steadiness of purpose and apply good judgment.

Mountains cannot be removed until they are shattered or dissolved by constant toil. It requires a mighty effort to bring vicious methods to a standstill and still further effort to reverse them. Steadiness and lofty purpose must find a way or make a way. If General Longstreet should be nominated for governor by the Republicans of Georgia, there is no knowing what political upheavals might take place in that state. With the Democracy and the Farmers' Alliance at odds, there would be a triangular contest in which the Republicans ought to have a fighting chance.

On Wednesday the heat was intense throughout Iowa and portions of ether Western states. Business was suspended in some places. Many people were prostrated in the cities. It is probable that the heat will be felt in this locality in a day or two. At Des Moines the temperature has been over 100 for four days.

The highest temperature 120 is reported from Burlington. The address on Musical Thinking and Doing, delivered by Herve D. Wilkins, of this city, before the New York State Music Teachers' Association at Saratoga, was full of thought and instruction. It was devoted in part to a discussion of the movable do versus the tonic-sol-fa system, while the subjects of performance, expression and modes of study were treated in an intelligent manner. Mr, Wilkins's experience and attainments enabled him to give an address which was valuable for its information, suggestions and practical ideas.

St. Locis, though disappointed at there-suit of the census couut, sees gleams of light through the clouds of despair that have gathered about her. The Globe -Democrat consoles itself with the following bluff: We challenge the census takers to find another city that has a newspaper equal to the Globe-Lhmncrat; And tickles its fancy with the following pleasant reflection After all. the question of the population of a city is not 60 much one of quantity as of quality and in this respect St. Louis easily leads all the rest.
