ADLY, advised was the Merchants’ Association of this city B when-it made objection to the project of converting the water power of the State into electric energy, on the ground that “Only a minor part of the State can be served with the power thus provided for. ‘The City of New York in particular will be excluded, as it is not within commercially practicable or efficient transmission distance of any adequate source of power development.” The argument is based upon a fallacy to begin with. Whatever benefits the State of New York is bound to benefit this city. Any and all increased industrial energy resulting from « larger use of electricity up-State will surely increase wealth and commercial activity here. But that is a minor issue. The essential is that the Merchante’ Association cannot afford to put iteelf in the attitude of opposing a reat enterprise of the State solely because it may have no local advantage to this city. All sections of the State helped to construct the Erie.Canal for the benefit of New York. It would be poor policy and poor politics for New York to now oppose making use of the water power of the canal for the benefit of towns along the line, solely because this city could not share in it. The Merchants’ Association | hes 4 good opening for a second thought. sae pine TROUBLES OF AMERICAN EMBASSIES. RESIDENT WILSON’S fashion of announcing publicly to Pp whom he intends to offer an Ambassadorship, before finding out whether the man will accept it, is subject to the objection | that it lessens the dignity of the office. That to the Court of St. James’s has been twice refused publicly, and it now looks as if it were being hawked about like damaged goods. | Publicity, however, never fails to justify itself in public affairs. | If Ambassadorships have become so expensive that men of ordinary | means cannot accept them, despite possession of every other qualifica- | tion, it is well the people should know it, and know why. Europe is discussing the problem with as much interest as our- | selves. They attribute the expense solely to the desire of every | travelling American to be received at the American Embassy in each | capital as at the White House. As a London critic puts it, “This simplicity is expensive. The practical extinction of the custom of | giving state balls at the Embassies has been more than counterbal-| anced by the demands of the increasing number of American visitors.” Why not inform the traveller that an Embassy is not a saloon? —_—_ + FOOLISH WASTING OF FOOD.

But when we get it at our doors we have not sufficient means of handling it. We bring it safely for a thousand miles, only to let it decay, out of reach of a consumer within thousand yards. Surely our civilization can remedy this. It is a matter of ter. minals and markets, storage facilities and local transportation. We have all these things in abundance if only they could be rightly co. ordinated and co-operated.

And when you came in I was telling them of the death and beautiful burial of Latane, of which you know, and was reading John R, Thompson's poem." I repeated the closing stanza of the poem: “and when Virginia, leaning on her spear, Victrix et Vidua, the conflict done, Shall her matied hand to wipe the tear ‘That starts as she recalls each martyred name No dearer memory ehall hold its sway ‘Than thine, beloved, lamented Latane.” “And s0 you know the poemt Well, we old fellows fight our battles over with each other now for amusement.” “It is well that you can &nd amusement ta them now.
