A BUSINESS MESSAGE. | I | OVERNOR GAGE'S message is wholly de- 6 voted to the business of the State. Since the days of Governor Irwin no other ressage has gone into such painstaking detail in discussing ali the varied interests of the State which are confided to public authority. The income of the State is derived from the taxation of its property and people. The outgo of the State is for the maintenance of its gov- ernment, the preservation of public order, the protec- tion of person and property necessary to the growth nd prosperity of the commonwealth, and in caring or its defective, indigent and helpless population. The Governor begins his message with an obser- clearness and force of an axiom. Impressing upon the members the necessity of care in legislating, he s3 “The evil of an individual, as a rule, affects him one, for his power of injuring the few around him can be summarily restrained; but the wrong of a bad affects the whole commun and its poison may ad before discovery, and the injury may be irre- spre a court, or repealed by act of a future Legislature.” Attention is called to the tax exemptions provided by the amendments to the constitution adopted by the people at the last election. ‘The exemption of church and university property shifts its burden of taxation | so that the least extrava- | gance in appropriation must necessarily be reflected ‘ in an increase of the tax rate. Perhaps this view of the amendments did not impress the people they were adopted. But it is clear that exemption from tax of such a considerable body of property must be followed by increase of rate. The Governor urges abstention from creating fur- ‘ rer salaried offices and positions, and recommends | that the Legislature begin by restricting its own em- | { | { | when s i ployes to a useful minimum. The message enters fully into the successiul efforts of the Governor to save the State from the ruin of its materialities by the bubonic plague scare. We think be makes a complete and unanswerable demonstra- tion that the plague never appeared here, and that the Federal Government should now avert a future injury | from the same source by a change in the quarantine office. | Aroused to the importance of scientific accuracy in such matters, because a quarantine against the State | brings loss and sacrifice to every interest of the peo- ple. the Governor recommends in terms “the exten- 1 of the powers of the State Board of Health, so | that its dignity may be raised in proportion to its importance, and that the most eminent physicians may be proud to occupy a place in the board or act under its supervision and direction. I recommend that in the matter of bubonic plague or plague sus- pects, as well as in all other dangerous, epidemic, con- | tagious and infectious diseases, the State Board of | Health have for State purposes full control and supervision of all county, city and county, city and town Boards of Health and medical officers, with a right to demand at all times a report from such boards and officers tespecting epidemic, contagious and infectious diseases.” This is an excellent and practical recommgndation. What is the use of a State Board of Health with no jurisdiction and no authority? If local health bodies v claim exclusive jurisdiction in each city, town and county, admitting the State Board to their coun- cils only on sufferance, it is a useless appendage of | the government. But, endowed with general and superior and paramount jurisdiction and power to en- the health of the State will have some se- curity against the spread of epidemics, and the inter- ests of the people will be protected against the spread oi Yying reports. force As to such reports the Governor recommends : ic remedy by declaring it a felony for any per- son or corporation to publish or procure to be pub- lished within this State any false report of the pres- ence of bubonic plague within this State, and that i* | be likewise declared a felony for any person or cor- poration within this State to publish or procure tn be published outside the State such false report. That will be called a serious remedy, but it is a serious offense—one that visits upon every interest the actuai | -The message commends the university to the care | of the Legislature, mentions gratefully the benefac- tions thereto of Mrs. Hearst, and deals with all the | official relations of the State to the people. e e A LESSON FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. OVERNOR JORDAN of New Hampshire in G his recent inaugural address told the Legi - ture the paramount issue in that State is the preservation of forests. He is reported as having de- nounced the wasteful methdds of lumbermen, and to | have said: “The lumber interests are great, and the greater they are under the present methods the worse it is for the State” He declared that since the lum- bermen will not confine their cutting to trees of a | proper size, nor make any effort to prevent waste, the | State should step in and compel them to do so, and | i | | { i not diffuse their mighty liquors among | t© that end he proposed to the Legislature that New | invention has been much more successful in Paris. ; and shall those nations hold our | l!am?shire, “by the exercise of its power of ‘eminent | It appears that of all the novelties at the recent expo- | domain, take once more the ownership of its most | sition in that capital none was more delightful to the desirable forest lands.” danger the white man may] W€ are t00 far distant frOfn the scene of»action to | It was the pet plaything of the populace for seven of bucdens and &1l his international | determine whether the drastic measure advocated by | months, and now that the exposition is over a com- Governor Jordan be expedient or not. It can be as- serted, however, that if the waste of lumber can be checked in no other way, then the policy of the Gov- | ernor is not only advisable but is, in fact, imperative. | A rich young country like the United States can stand | a good deal in the way of foolish legislation and bad | economics, but there is no part of it can stand a de- struction of the forests. That is something tha: spells destruction for the State itself. It appears from our Eastern exchanges that the | address of the Governor is in no way an exaggeration of the evils that have befallen New Hampshire through the waste of its timber. 1In various directions the State has been injured. In some streams, for example, where there was abundant water power at | all seasons of the year, there are now torrents in spring and dry beds in summer. In other places thar were once the resort of tourists and summer visitors the mountain sides have been made so bleak and bar- ren by the destruction of trees that people no longer visit them. 1t is pot in New Hampshire only that forest wastinz has been carried too far. From every portion of the Eastern States the same complaint comes. The evil, i fact, is national. A recent report states that Chicf Geographer Gannett of the United States Geological Survey estimates the total stand of timber through- out the United States at 1,380,000,000,000 feet. Star- istics collected in 1890 show that the cut for that yea- was about 25,000,000,008 feet. Later data has not been | obtained. but of course the cut has increased with the years. Moreover, the figures given for the cut do not include what was wasted. Consequently a num- | construct and operate such side e e e e ) AYVID STARR JORBAN It is to be borne in mind our forests have to sup- ply not only our own needs, but a considerable de- mand from Europe.” Wood fiber is coming into us* for many kinds of articles, and consequently the de- mand for it is expanding much more rapidly than is supposed by the general public. In view of all these t_hings it might be said that for the nation as well as for New Hampshire forest salvation is the paramount issue. California, at any rate, should profit by the warning given in New England. ‘F\ cently wrote for the London Chronicle an ac- count of society in the United States as seen by a stranger at the capitfl After pronouncing us to be a “conglomerate of all races,” she notes that our scciety is not versed in the etiquette‘of European drawing-rooms, afld goes on to say: *Whether the lackeof polish in many instances is due to an ignorance of the rudiments of refined lite, the effects «of the boasted common school training where all classes :eet on a common level, or an affected indifference to what we call polite usage, it is difficult to say. ! Whatever be the cause, the disheartening fact remains that outside the circle of a few thousands of cultured people in each of the great centers, and proportion- ally less for the smaller towns and villages, there are few who would not become the cynosure of all eyes and the center of all manner of criticism in any capi- tal in Europe.” The publication of the letter has naturally given rise to a good deal of comment in the East, and par- ticularly in those centers where the people are in the habit of looking upon Western men and women as wild and woolly and speaking scornfully of Western maenners. These folks are offended that a stranger from the effete drawing-rooms of Londea should find in them much the same fault they-think they find in vs, and accordingly with much iteration they are as- suring themselves that they are all right and the vis- iting English woman is “too cruel.” The issue is renderad interesting by the coincidence of a social item going the rounds of the Very papers that are roasting the critic of Washington. The item, as recorded in the New York Press, runs thus: “Cleveland society, the feminine part of it, is aghast | at the knowledge that many of its members dancel | ith detectives at Ruzh Hanna's coming-out party in the Chamber of Commerce building on New Year's night. It has been learned that, in addition to half dozen city detectives who attended the party, about | fifty private detectives in dress suits were among the | party. They mingled with guests and appeared ‘o great advantage. It was so large a party that it was impossible that everybody should know with whom :n dance, and some of the young Clevelanders, who | thought it would be fun, introduced several of the sleuths to the young society women in the party. The detectives were willing and anxious to dance, and as their instructions were to mingle with the guests they mingled completely.” The showing made by the item from Cleveland jus- tifies the stafements of the visiting critic. Certainly detectives are not invited to dance at “swell functions” in European capitals. The one question, then, for the controversialists to decide is whether such invi- tations are right or wrong, If, as appears from the report, the detectives were | as well bred, as well dressed and as skilled in dancing as the guests at the function, why should they not be | permitted to dance, and why should the social set be f ! i e ——— SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS.

HILE London and New York have provided for rapid transit from one part of the city to | w another by means of underground railways, Paris is considering a scheme of constructing beneath | the streets a moving sidewalk, or rather a series of sidewalks, giving the passenger choice of three de- grees of speed. ! It will be remembered the moving sidewalk was first tried on a large scale at the Chicago exposition. It is therefore an American invention, but for ona reason or another our people were not sufficiently attracted by it to develop it, and consequently since the Chicago experiment no other has been attémpted in this country in a measure of any magnitude. The Parisians than what they call the “trattoir roulant.” pany, backed by large capital, has been formed to walks under ground. There is one feature of the moving sidewalk which renders it less advantageous than car lines—the tun- nel in which it is operated must be constructed in 2 circle, as the revolving way must constitute an end- less chain. The route to be established in Paris is planned on that principle and will form a circle atound the grand boulevards. It will contain three | moving ways: The first will revolve’at the rate of | a little over three miles an hour; the second six and { (hree-q_uzner miles an hour; the third, adjoining the | balustrade, will move at the respectable speed of | eleven and a quarter miles an hour. Parallel to the slowest moving way will be a stationary pavement. Ag at the exposition, posts with knobs will be placed at intervals of fifteen feet along each of the ways to as- | sist passengers in mounting and in passing from one | revolving platform to the other” Frequent entrances by shaits will be provided along the route, probably every 100 or 200 yards. If the enterprite be successful Paris will have | another attraction for the world. Electric cars can be seen anywhere, but for some years to come it will | be in that city only that the latest thing in city transic ¢an be found in practical operation.

ROSSETTI BOOK | | An event of exceptional interest in the | | art world is the recent appearance of Elizabeth Ruth Carey's “Rossetti Book,’ | published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons. It lsl first s a handsome volume, printed in' larze, clear type and written from ample knowl edge of the fascinating subjéct, in a lu cid, leisurely, elegant style and illustraied in choicest fashion with some twent seven photogravures. Miss Carey & and Christina Rossetti, most & ut | a sufficient sketch of the elder Rossettis, exiled from Italy lan account of political opinions, is included. pA curious household is this of which Miss Carey permits us so intimate ve: discreet a glimpse. Rossetti, pere, him- self a pqet, singer and artist of some small distinction, earning a slender pit- tance in London by teaching Italian and gathering about him for the indirect edu- cation of his talented tribe painters, mu sicians, writers, scholars, politicians, ven- ders, teachers, Italians almost without exception. Mazzini and some of the Bona- parte family were among this political crowd, by the way. A lovable figure Miss Carey paints of Mrs. Rossetti, mere, “She was religious in temperament, extremely domestic, fond of books, simple and dignified in manner, warm in _feeling, steady in ac- tion, a fortress of defense for her husband anu children against the difficulties that assailed them.” Of her own conception of the life of the mother and wife of | genius, a quaint lisht may be gained from | her .naive remark, quoted with consid- erable relish by her son William: “I al- ways had a passion for intellec sne said, “and my wish was that my hus- | band should be distinguished for intellect and my children, too. I have had my wish, and I now wish that there were a little less intellect in the family, so as to allow for a little more common sense. Quaint, elfin,- precocious children the Rossettis must have been; ‘‘passionate after dreams and unconcerned about re- alities, their favorite pursuits rhyming, painting, reading, acting.” in place of ac- rts and lively games. Small won- der that the first of a household and childhood“so unusual should be remarka- ble among the sons of men. This history of Dante Gabriel Rossetti is interes as much to the student of genius as to the artist. Consciously and joyfully ec- centric, consciously a genfus, quixoticaliy generous, brilliantly imaginative, minute- Iy consclentious in his art, eminently sin- cere, given to lavish enthusiasm and solutely without artistic jealousies, by turns lazy and immensely industrious, willful, lovable, wayward and ‘‘difficult, Rossetti is a typical genius, devoured by the sister flames of poetry and painting.
