During the long interval of relaxed vigilance against this evil there has been a widespread increase + of it. Violations of the law have recently become so ~ mumerous that during their brief trip along the » Williamsburg water front in a tugboat Chief Inspector — Bensel and his sanitary squad detected and took steps toward the punishment of seven conspicuous offenders, This is a promising beginning of what should be a final abatement of the nuisance in Brooklyn. The ordinance gives the authorities ample power of prosecu- tion, They may arrest all parties to the offense from the fireman who lights the fire to the owner of the premises. The arrest, among others, of two superin- © tendents of factories in this Initial exploring trip evi- ences 2 commendable disposition to go to the top in Amposing the law's penalty. 44 An excellent granny is afforded the Manhattan bfficials to emulate this good example across the river. Here also a laxity of prosecution is bringing back the} evil in offensive form. The chief recent exhibition of activity against violators of the law has been due to the | of residents of the east side neighborhood adjoining the Edison plant at Thirty-ninth street and First avenue, Here for nearly a year a vigorous local campaign has been directed against the soot-belching chimneys with alterations of temporary success and failure Inthe lower courts and eventuating on Sune 8 In anepplication to the Supreme Court for a restraining ‘ In this borough the larger corporations have in most Instances Become the most flagrant offenders.

Milton, the most exalted poet of the English tongue, In private life terrorized his wives—he had three-and martyrized hie daughters, He had the supreme selfishness that is often the distinguishing quality ofthe man of genius, Goldsmith, one vagabonds of Kterature, was alwa: debt, often in jal, a chronte borrower, and to use @ time-<dishonored phrase, every man’s friend but his own. Cowper was the most morose of men, and his melancholia increased with every year, finally ending in insanity, All the others menttoned, save Tennyson, Amertoan and modern, and without exception, were Kindly @n4 considerate men, But the majority of geniuses have been as pro- nounced in thelr meanness a@ in their Greatness, If poeta allure thee think how Bacon shined, | Whiy not begin by making an example of them, _ proceeding next against the numerous power houses and Illuminating plants which still set the ordinance In de- flance?.
