except some departments of Tammany municipal administration, brains and in dustry are bald to be essential to success. 1 Good faith is also a quality much esteemed by business men. and when they find it wanting in their heads of departments the heads fall into the basket. Baa Mayor Gilroy personally any views or impressions on the subject of street cleaning What does he think of Bexjtxax that he Is a competent and conscientious public servant, or merely a thick-headed and lubberly heeler Improperly exalted to a post for which matara and hia early training hare given him no equipment We are prepared to maintain the latter hypothesis, and to nail the proofs of its soundness to the Mayor's door. The plain truth is that Mr.

Baxx-KA3S has made no honest effort to clean the streets, either by the block system or otherwise, and the Mayor knows it as well as anybody, or ought to know it. An hour with this Baxxxair last evening would have been worth far more to Mr. Gilroy's reputation than his presence at the Jenkins whitewashing dinner. Tha legislative joint Committee on Tax-ation has been trying to find out why corporations which have their principal offices and do tha bulk of their business in this titate are in so many cases incorporated under tha laws of other States. It is learning that the chief reason is that they thereby aseape certain taxes and certain strict requirements in regard to making reports upon their business.

It does not necessarily follow that the taxes or the re- sjnirenenU are unjust or too exacting in this Rtate. It may be that other States are too lenient, and take advantage of the fact that most of the great corporations carry on their business elsewhere, and they lose nothing and may gain a little something by facilitating incorporation. But we have to meet this condition in some way, and if it is a public advantage to have corporations formed under our own laws it should bo mads as easy for them here as else where. In any case, corporations doing business in this State should be required to pay a just proportion of taxes without reference to the jurisdiction within which their char ten are obtained. In the matter of taxa-tion it should be no more an advantage for corporation to have been chartered in Kew-Jeraey than for an individual citizen to have been born there.

"The good old Commonwealth of Massa chusetts" seems to be determined to stick to "Fast Day." The bill for its abolition has been defeated in the Legislature, not because anybody in Massachusetts continues to fast and humiliate himself. or assemble at his customary pla of worship on that day, but because it is one of the few remaining heritages the Pilgrim Fathers, and partakes of the sa- crednese of Plymouth Kock, the ancient Slate House, the Old South Church, and Beaton Common. For one year more. least, the rattles and poul for drinks and other diversions of Fast Day will continue, and Lexington and Concord will not be commemorated by the public holiday that was proposed as a substitute. The condition of the tin mines" in Da keta, as indicated by the recent action of the owners of the property and the long re port of Capt Joimah Thomas, must tend to shake the confidence of the American Protective Tariff League in its expert in spector of tin ore deposits, Mr.

Eli Perkins. It may bo recalled that Perkins's eyes were almost blinded by the reflection of the sun's rays from the surface of the earth in this Dakota tin district, because the rocks and soil everywhere contained about tt5 per cent of tin. Eli had been taught that tin ore resembles the glittering surface of tin pan.

SIT ATI PEOriBTI ASB FVBLIC 1MFB0TKMXNTS. While the provisions ef the Webster bill for summarily taking possession of prop erty needed for public improvements, against whieh the Elm Street property owners are protesting, are net likely to meet with general approval, it is deeinblo that some means should be adopted for expediting the process of acquiring private property for publio uses. That process in the eaee of street improvements in this city is unconscionably long, and the delays it iarolves are a serious detriment to the pub-lie without being neeeesary to the protection of privaterighte. The exercise of the right of eminent domain in behalf of railroad corporation is tolerably expedi tious.

It is known that the required prop erty for the right of way must be given up. and many owners come to terms privately. and in case of disagreement as to compensa tion, the dispute is generally settled without much delay. The matter is not so simple in the case of street improvements ia cities, and in this city it is especially complicated. In the first place, it is not 'a question of simply acquiring a certain amount of property and paying for it at an appraised value.

The cdst of the improvement itself is paid in part by taxation and in part by assessment upon property to be benefited, and the proportion is determined by the Board of Street Opening. There an a large number of owners of the property involved, and a part of the different lote may be taken and part loft. There is an adjustment between the loss by the taking of property and the improvement of what re mains, and the award to be made is not the value of a certain amount of real estate, but compensation for the actual damage suffered. The proceedings for estimating the loss and damage" with so many parcels of property and so many owpers, with the opportunity for contesting all the way through, and with, the necessity of having the reports of Commissioners ap pointed by the court confirmed before title can pass, amount to an intolerable obstacle to public improvements. Under the pn ent law, if a majority in interest of the property owners are opposed to the im provement, they can defeat it All this is a public But doubt less to take possession of the property and assume title on ten days' notice, leaving the compensation to be determined after ward, would be a wrong to the private owners.

It might be equivalent for the time being to taking private property for public uses without compensation, which would be unconstitutional. During the period while the former holden were waiting for the awards they would be deprived of the use of the property and of any rentals they might have been reeeiv ing. They might have trouble in equitably adjusting their relations with holders of mortgages, and be put to much expense in transferring their own business suddenly to new quarters. While these things might all be considered and compensated for in the awards for "loss and damage," it would be a matter of uncertainty, and if full justice should not be done then would be no redreaa, tor long. costly, and vexatious litigation, the out come of which could not be foreseen, would not be redress, and the property could not be recovered.

Moreover, in all this the final cost to the city might be greatly' In creased in the end by that summary process of taking title at the beginning. Then ought to be some way out of the existing difficulty without a resort to the doubtful, or more than doubtful, expedient of the Webster bilL This is not by any means the Frencbxnetho.d" that has been sometimes referred to. In making the great improvements in the City of Paris not o'ely the required property, but the adjoining property to be benefited, was bought out right by the city and paid for. and. after public improvement bad been made, the remaining property was again sold.

Ths city thereby got the advantage of the advance in value caused by its own work, which in some cases exceeded the cost of the work. That process may not be practicable here, but it is surely practicable to devise some means of expediting the operation of getting possession of property needed for publio improve ment. Most of the Elm Street property owners are believed to be in favor of the proposed improvement, and a committee has been sppointed to endeavor to have tno peuaiag Din moainea so that con demnation proceedings may ba hastened sad abbreviated," and the ownen may retain possession until the award for prop erty taken has been made. Then are others interested as well, and the best counsel should be taken to secure effective and just legislation on-this subject TBB SCflOOl QCKSTIOHIH CANADA, The queetioa of secular aaainst religious instraction is aot less burning ia Canada than in the United Butes, and it is likely to prove much more troublesome. It haa not been so troublesome heretofore, because the t'atholio population, instead of being scattsred, as with us, throughout the whole country, has beea eoneentnied in Lower Canada.

Ths Protestant major- it in ths Province of Ontario, for Instance, has been gnat enough to ins an the giv- I ing of public Instruction oa what may be called the American lines. Ja tha Pro Linos of as bee, where ths Catholic major- ity le overwhelming. pfabUo education has been ia tha hands priesU to an extent to which there ii scareely a parallel in any nation oi contemporary Europe. Ths animosities ot rai and nllglon an bitter enough in the longest-settled parts of Canada, but in tils matter, thanks to the Federal system -of the Dominion, they settle themselves without great dis turbance. It la In the son recently opened settlements of the Northwest that the controversy threatens ko become moot dan gerous.

That region Is a debatable land of which it lajpot yet bottled whether the prevailing element shall bo Frsnsh and Catholic or An glo-8axin and Protestant, The struggle is legitimate as well as in evitable, and it is not bnrprislng that each party should do its utmost to win. The present agitation proceeds from the Catholics, ainee their opponents have, in Man itoba, the advantage of position. Separate Roman Catholic schools wen abolished by act of the Provincial Legislature two yean ago. It does not appear to do com plained that the majority haa used its power to inculcate Protestantism noon Cstholic childnn, that is a practice whioh Protestant bigots in soma parts of the United States haVe from time to time succeeded in engrafting upon the common- school system. Wherever at exists it con stitutes a grievance (which the oppressed minority does well to present When It ie nmoved.

however, I Catholics have no canes of complaint If the State confines itself to secular instruction and leaves religious instruction to bo administered by the churches. That Is the status in this country, and it has been confirmed by the action of this Papal Delegate. The acquiescence in what the call godless education ia very distasteful to many prieete and prelates, but then is henceforth nothing for them to do but to-jooneeal their distaste and devise methods of supplementing what they consider the deficiencies of the com mon-school system op the religious side. In Manitoba the Pope haa not yet inter vened to compose the dispute, and the singular spaetaclo is presented of Bishops and priests repeating the same arguments and carrying on tbe same agitation to whieh we have been used in the past, and declaring that a stat of things is intoler able which the Pose has set forth may be tolerated. The Aichbishop of St Boni face in Manitoba hasaust issued a oircular, that might have hina promulgated not long ago by Bishop McQuaid or Bishop Wiqgxr.

He declares that the legal status of Catholics in Canada ia quite different from their status in the United States, by way of saving himself from the conse quences of the action of the Papal Delegate, and he repeats that tae Church prescribes the necessity ef religious instruction in the schools," and "repudiates the idea of purely secular edm lation." Iu this ths Bishop seems to be in disagreement with "Peter." The Pops undoubtedly holds that religious instruction is necessary, but he does not hold that it ia necessary to be administered in the schools" where secular education is giren. Neither does he repudiate the idea of purely secular education" in the schoob whioh do not profess to give any other education. ine solution ot tae question, when a common-school system exists, is of course for the 8tate to give 'secular education and the Church to g(ve religions education, out of school heun and i a its own way. This haa been done under the Faribault plan to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. and though that pun ia not to be com mended for general adoption, the same re-salt may be reached! in other ways, when tbe Catholic populat! on is numerous enough to require and pro Ida special provision for Catholic ehildien.

But Archbishop Tacbx does not co itemplato anything in the nature of a com; romise or of a ssedae HeeadL He seems to demand the extnme measure of 6tat4-supported Catholic schools. The indications an that he will find that aa hard to Obtain in Manitoba as other prelates have sound it in the United States. Meanwbile.lthen Is an unseemli ness ia the repetition by Canadian prelates of arguments and propositions the enumer ation of which by brelates in the United States would be ihsabordinate. It does not clearly appear Whether the mission of Archbishop SATOLXllto America." brings Canada also under his jurisdiction. But it seems desirable thashU jurisdiction should include Canada, so tibat what would be disobedient and mutinous behavior on one aide of the frontier shall be so also on the other.

COLOR BLINDNESS. The statistics concerning color blindness gathered by the ooaimittee of the Council of the English Royil Society appointed to inquire into this mitter an made the sub ject ef an article in the current a Btim. It is an unlueky circumstance that this most common form of color blindness is red-green blindaese," in which the suf ferer will regard a Certain hue of green as identical with red. lor a certain other hue of green as Identical with white, or in which he may not take cognisance at all of a certain hue of red. It la unfortunate that the difficulty (should be chiefly wivh these three colors, red.

green, and white, since these an the colon used as signals by vessels and upon railways. Ths great decider trum with colon to be used as signals is that they should' bs bright A white 1 ght will, of course, be used as one of the colon. Then Is little difficulty in tbe choice of the second color, whieh is of noecttity red. A red glass transmits about 10 per cent of the lnml- noaityef the white light behind it This itajllgn degree of luminosity to bo transmitted by coloreq glass. A blue glass transmits only ab ul a per cent of the light Another adJ wantage la that a red light is of ths same color whan viewed from all distances, which la not tbe with aU lights.

Then ia no difficulty. therefore, la tbe choice of red. Then Is greater difficulty Id the choice of a third color. A blue-greoi i has beea fixed upon aa on the whale the best This particular hue is not in nnirsi sal use and seems somewhat difficult to ob tain. It ia said, by the way, that the lam of the glowworm ia precisely of the vld bluish green that is required.

The eesmittoe reoemmsads the colon used by ths English Vary as the best It recommsoda, also, that the same hues should be used by alt rallroada Another important recommendation is that the signals on all fines of railway should haTo the same meaning, whieh Is not now the ease. It le obvHas that It would no dangerous for a company using a white light as a safety signal to employ a man who had had long eerviee ia a company using a green tight as a safety signal. It is Impossible to obtain! tae exact knowledge regarding the prevalence of colorblindness. But theflgunc gathered by the Investigation of the Royal Society seem to show that thsn exists among mankind a pretty uniform rate of color blindness. Out of 50,000 men examined by three authorities of the highest eminence nearly 4 per cent wen found to be affected.

Investigations among sailore La the navy and the merchant marine, ia many educa tional establishments, such as Etea and Westminster, and in regimenta such as the Coldstream Guards, showed that the came, if not a somewhat higher, peroentageof disease prevailed. Two ngimonts of Japanese infantry belonging to the Tokio garri son wen examined, with the result that 68 out of 1,200 men wen found to have weak or incomplete vision, If those figures an corrrect then seems no reason to doubt that the sams proportion of color blindness exists among sailon and, employes of rail roads, in whom the diseass Is, of course. In the highest degree dangerous, both to themselves and to the lives of those who an In their charge. The question arises, What proof Is thsn that accidents that have taken place at eea have been due to color blindness -The an swer given is that thsn is not a gnat deal of positive proof to this effect, but it ia said that then have been scarcely any instances when the vision of persons responsible for shipwrecks and collisions has been tested. Several eases, however, reported by the British Commlsslonen seem to point to this cause.

Then waa a collision near Norfolk, on the night of July 5, 1875, between the steam tug Lbrm and the steam ship sac Bell, by which ten persons lost their live. The steamer's green light only could have been visible to the tug, but the master of the tug swon at the examination that he had seen the red light His eyesight was not tested at the time, but later it waa found that he waa color blind. In June. 1881. as the pilot of the City A- Un waa steering his vessel into the Harbor of Fernandlna, he made a mistake as to the color of the buoys, which resulted In the lose of the ship and cargo, at a cost to her ownen of $200,000.

This pilot was after ward dlscovend to be not only color blind. but to be unable to distinguish one color from another at a distance of more than six feet Blindness in his case was attributed by the medical officcntothe excessive use of strong tobacco a habit which the Commlsslonen declare to be a frequent cause of bad vision. It Is natural that people should bo alow to believe that they an colorblind. It would bo difficult to make a color-blind man believe that the orange on his plate is not of the sober gray that he takes It to be, but of a ruddy yellow. It would be hard to convince him that he haa bought a paper with a silver quarter for which he suppoeed he was paying a two-cent piece.

Many a man, no doubt, is color blind who honestly believes himself sound of vision. A circumstance mentioned by the Commis sioners is that "crammers," however, of candidates for examination prepare color blind people to pass the testa The cram men" get possession of the test colore, and instruct color-blind candidates to describe these colon aa if seen by a normal vision. When, therefore, the candidate ia shown a color whieh appean to him to be green, he is prepared to answer the examlnen that It land. It is said, indeed, that a color sense may be thus educated in color-blind people, but such a color sense Is of too precarious a nature to bo intrusted with the can of human Uvea at sea or oa our linee of railway.

Something should quickly bo done to check the ravages of the fur-lined coat, sn alien in New-York that is positively mon to be feared than the typhus fever. This garment belongs to Busaia, Tiapland. Fin land, Labrador, and the north pole. It is both superfluous and dangerous In a changeable climate like this, whose extremely cold weather even in midwinter is the ex ception rather than the rule. A fur-lined coat is air-proof, and even the most robust sort of man cannot safely wear eueh a garment except in freezing weather, and then he must be exceedingly careful to wear it properly.

The combination of the conventional evening dress and the fur-lined overcoat has probably been the direct cause of many deatha from pneumonia and kindred die- eases this Winter, and the indirect cause of many more. When the mercury in the thermometer rises as high as even 33, ths fur-lined coat becomes uncomfortable, and its heedless wearer invariably unbuttons it and thus subjects his overheated body to eueh a shook aa would surely kill high-bred horse. On tbe house bill oi one of tbe fashionable New-York theatres this Winter there is a picture of a supposedly sane man standing ra the open air with the front of hia fur overcoat thrown open and his extensive shirt bosom sxposed to the wind, The artist who mads that picture is, a keen observsr. The man Is a' type, and be is also a warning. The fur-lined overcoat is a subject en tirely too serious to bo treated of wholly from a humorous point of view, but it has Its comic side, too, because It is worn la New-York, not for comfort and protection.

but solely for the sake of appearance. Womea know how to wear their furs, and doubtless need them, too, but with bsb they are manly the outward sign of van ity. Ths fur-lined cost is as handsome as it is expensive It lends dignity to Its wearer, and makes a assail man look as imposing as the Csar.of Bussla. Where fore it has rogue among the few who can afford to wear it. while its prise pnvents that sort of popularity which might ia time vulgarise it, and thus rid as of ii The vulgarUatlea of fashions is a most interesting and bensfida pnesoa.

It has even made persons of good taste shun diamonds. Time and the 1ml tatlTe faculty whieh noa and monkeys hart la common have killed ths fashions of all and the fur-lined overcoat cannot resist them forever.

But the process of rolgatixatioa mast work slowly npon a garment that costs from $200 up to While fur-lined costs have boon seen oa Xsw-York streets this Winter mom fre quently than ever Before, the. arment still seems to bo a badge of social distinction. Some uncommon influence must be exerted to check its ranges before Whole generation of. useful and ornamental young men is destrayed by It A Society for the TnlgarUatioa of the Fur-lined Orercoat, if properly condaetsd, might soon mako that ooetly article of apparel seem meaner in metropolitan syss than the now humble and antique adjustable fur collar or the blue beaver coat scantily trimmed with Tory yellow mink fur, which only worn nowadays ia remote and benighted neichborhoodn Eow this could bo done it is net our pur-' pose to indicate, but societies are bow formed and son ducted for such Queer eb jecte in this city that an aim as noble as this ought rarely to inspire some original. energetic, and philanthropic mind like Ms Oltvxb Bcwrui Teaix's.

There is plenty oi money ia Kew-Tork for all benevolent work if one goes about to get it the right way. The fur-lined overcoat must 'bo made vulgar. TO VTXLIZX TBM LOAM EXHIBIT, The loaa exhibition which will open to morrow ia the fire galleries of the Fine Arte Society marks aa important stop ia this young but rigorous organisation. It is the show originally planned for the Autumn of 1892 at thc Madison Squan Garden, when it waa proposed to build temporary galleries aU round the big audi torium over the present boxes, aad use the main floor for exhibits of sculpture. The scale on which that plan waa conceived made it seem a rival to the World'e Fair, and the Chicago papen took alarm without much reason.

Ii the five galleries on Fifty-seventh Street are limited as to space, by comparison with the proposed exhibition In the Madison Squan Garden, the result is greater competltloa among exhibits and a higher avenge of excellence in the objects shown. Coinci dent with the installment of ths loaa exhi bition comes thc news that the Society has consolidated all its debts into one sum of 165,000. on which Interest runs at 41 per cent, instead of carrying sereral mortgages, eome of which wen at a much higher rate of interest. The loan collection may help the Society to pay these and other charges and perhaps enable it at the end of the year to lessen by some thousands the principal of the debt. The array of old Dutch mas ten is such as NewoYork has never seen before, since sears.
