A. , has come to the front with a powerful plea in sup- jxirt ol the Italian demand for redress. Citizen Train backs Hudinl nnd the Italians and inveighs in hla usual caustic style against czarism and the American plutocracy. In his prophetic vision M > Train sees the war cloud gathering over our horizon and an army of Italian troubadours on the way to bombard Now Orleans , New York and lioston. Mr. Train is in this instance , as ho always lias beou , an eccentric. Ho very natur ally seeks to create a sensation , but wo do not believe that the country will bo- oomo twrlously alarmed over the pros * poet of a war with Italy. uovniyMvyc or CITIRS. The growth of modern cltlos haa boon .ho . marvel of the nineteenth century , rlinarlly this constantly increasing tone dcncy to crowd into the great cities Is due to the industrial revolution that hat taken place since the application of steam o locomotion on hind and sea and the ntroduction of labor saving machinery n every branch of industry. The jrowth of cltlos is by no moans confined to America. London and Paris are growJ ng almost as rapidly as Now York , Tlio growth of Liverpool has kept pace with that of Chicago and Berlin has in 20 years grown Vom a city of le-s than six hun dred thousand population to over a mil- ion and a , half. The perplexing problem that confronts every great city is that of economic and ofllclont municipal govi eminent. This problem fiaa been much nero dinicult of solution in this country than abroad. Our municipal corporations with Ihulr millions upon millions of capital Invested In storehouses , factories anil dwellings , are centers of constant political activity , Tlio machinery of our own city governments - monts , with its armies of salaried of- flcials and oinployoa under the control and in the hands of unscrupulous - scrupulous nnd dlbhonnst men , becomes it dangerous monacn to the well being and prosperity of taxpaylng and law- ibiding clli'/ons. And the larger the cities grow the more widespread the corruption. The oxpijrionco of Now York , with the Tammany braves and the Tweed rinp , repeats itself in nearly every largo city. Spasms of reform only nITord torni porary relief. Tlio hypocrite who rode into power on the reform wave which was to abolish taxeators and make corporation olllcmls perform their public duties and rocog- ni/.o private rights , is now the paid attorney - tornoy of the same aggressive combina tion , and ho has learned at the expense of the people how best to servo his pres ent masters. The alderman who was the partner of the city contractor has become the agent of the frnnchisod corporation. The thief who stole the fees and overcharged the taxpayers for services is in the pen itentiary and his successor is paid a sal ary , but hypothecates the public fun-as. The corporation attorney is the friend of the city ollicial and shows how prollt- able slock in a now public or quasi pub lic enterprise can become , provided the council will bo liberal to its promoters and odors a block of stock at a nominal llguro. The elevated road is built and the councilman retires to private life wealthy. Subsequent disgrace is coated over with the gilt of that social position which wealth alone makes possible and which is too often strong enough to dis solve private resentments and cover oven dishonor. The first grovt question in the solution of the entire problem is : How shall wo receive honest administration of city alTairs V The people of all our cities with that quick apprehension of danger character istic to Americans in public matters are spasmodically aroused. At intervals they put forth strength and assort thorn- sol VCH at the ballot and in the courts. Thus far they have only succeeded in making their power feared. They have not yofc been able to secure that sustained olTort which would make thuir will irresistible. There is some discouragement already and moroto fol low. It will take time , patience , educa tion and diligency to break down the walls of an enemy behind bulwarks hastily thrown np but skilfully cemented - montod and strongly rebuilt as weak places are exposed. To the thoughtful student of the sub ject of government , the organization and methods of a successful business In corporation afford a model which might bo adopted to the management of city ( itfiiirs. A corporation has a president , as the city a mayor. The treasurer of the city corresponds to the cashier of the private establishment ; the auditor or comptroller to the ponoral account ant ; the street commissioner or chair man of the board of public works to the manager or superintendent ; the city council to the board of direc tors ; the other city employes lake ether analogous places. The trouble at present is that there is too much responsibility and too much shift ing of obligation from ono to another. There is no contra ! authority empowered to punish thieves , miscreants , bribn takers and disreputables , or to remove men unworthy of confidence. The pro cesses of the courts and elections maybe bo Invoked , but these are too tedious and uncertain to frighten or restrain the corrupt. \Vhntwo need is intelligent individual attention to our civil duties at home. A centralization of the governing power in the cities. Quick detection of wrong doing and swift retribution for the wrong-door. A fixed , unalterable re sponsibility for the performance of .pub lic duties upon definite departments of the government , and severe and certain penalties tor violations of public duties. A strong , influential , non-partisan , con servative body of our best citizens , whoso business it shall bo to watch public Interests , restrain dishonest or incompetent - competent olllclals from extravagance and corruption , and encourage the able , energetic and honest ones. In short , an organization full of vigor , free from iimnodiato pecuniary interest in tax shirking or municipal legislation , bent upon purifying local politics and determined upon honest government. Nothing else can apply our present sys tem effectually to the purposes for which It has boon created , but which is made an engine of oppression nnd cor ruption. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I'RKSIDKXCIAI , TOURS. The journey which President Harrison risen is making suggests to the Phila delphia Xnlgerthat the custom has boon honored by nearly every president since Madison's tlmo , and while some of the tours hnvo boon rather limited , others have boon qulto extended. But there has been no such oxtonslvo single trip as the ono President Harrison is making slnco the first presidential tour of President Monroe. This tout- was really a visit of military in- 8M3ction ] by the coiutnander-in-chief of the army of the United States. The recent war with Great Britain had shown that the northern frontier f nnd the Atlantic seaboard were open to the incursions of the late enemy , nnd It was the supposed necessity for n personal i examination of those exposed portions t of the country , with tv view to providing ] protection , that gave rise to t ho drat great journey of a president of t , ho United States. This occurred In May , 1817 , nnd Mr. J ilonroo , after visiting the states c f Maryland , Delaware , Ponnsyl- \ I'nnla , Now Jersey , Rhode Island , Con- ectlcut , Massachusetts , New llamp- hlro and Maine , making no moro prog- s in a week than is now possible in a lay or less , wont west as far as Detroit , ils destination , 'and then almost the 1 imit of northwestern civilization , the i oulos westward being mostly the trails I Indians and pioneers. On his return } 10 wont through th'o forests of Michi { gan and Ohio by pack horse , wagon and B addle horse travel to the Pennsylvania 1 Ino and thence through Maryland back t o Washington. It was a most fatiguing j ournoy and kept the president on t , ho go from the end of May until September , moro than three i nonths , the distance traveled being i about 2fiOO miles , or less tlrin one-third t > f that which the tour of President liar- i ison will cover , and in which ho will ( iccupy n month with comparatively no f 'atiguing conditions to the journey and i iiniplo tithe to rest at any point on the ivivy. Washington and John Adams while in I ho presidential ollluo , did not do much 1 raveling except between their Virginia i ind Massachusetts homes nnd the 1 lion remote federal capital at Phil- ulolphio The travels of Jefferson and MadLson were also confined mainly to 1 holr journeys between their homes in Virginia and the city of Washington , ( jonoral Grant's travels were over loarly the whole country , but lie made numerous excursions. President Clcvo- and's tour extended about half the illstanco that Harrison will go over. It will bo soon , therefore , that although only a few of the presidents have made tours , the custom had its origin with no ess distinguished a man than Mr. Monroe and is throe-quarters of a century > ld. It is very likely to bo rogulnrly honored by future presidents. 01A ( JIIKA1 Gcrintiny mourns the dciilh of her greatest soldier. America , so recently plunged In a like sorrow , will extend her ivarmcst sympathy to the great nation whoso unilic'itlon : md power are largely luo to the .splendid military genius of the man who lies dead in her capital. Among the soldiers of modern times , or Jidood of all time , Count Ilolmutli Carl Uornliiird von Moltko achieved a place among the greatest. In the estimation of his countrymen ho was pro-eminent among- his contemporaries , and ns to Eu rope there can ho no question that ho was entitled to bo so rofrnrded. Only America may contest his claim to first place among the masters of military science whom the warn of the last HO years developed , but if wo decline to be lieve him greater than1 .Grant nnd Sherman , surely no higher honor could be paid his memory than to acknowl edge ho was their poor. Moltko was born in tbo llrst year of the present century , when most of Eu rope was agitated by the conflict of arms and was soon to witness ono of the most terrible wars in his tory , lie was not five yours old when Napoleon crossed the Rhino and entered upon that wonderful career of conquest which mndo him master of central and southern Kuropo , and added to the achievements of French valor the battles of Aiisterlitz , Jena. Eylan and Wograin. Ho was six years old when Napoleon formed the league of Ger manic states known as the confederation of the Rhine , and issued from Berlin the decree which declared the British isles in a state of blockade , confiscated all English merchandise ! , prohibited all commerce and correspondence with thatcountry , and ordered all Englishmen found in countries occupied by French troops to bo treated as prisoners of war. lie had not attained his fifteenth year when the battle of Waterloo wua fought , in which the soldiers of Prussia played so important a part. Moltko was thus cradled anil roared in the midst of mili tary conflicts , and the bant of his genius was given the largest possible encourage ment. Ho was always an'ardent student of the science of war , nnd his earlier studios were not confined to his service in the Prussian army. His advance was not rapid , but every promotion was a recog nition of merit and when , after a service of 'ill years ho was made chief of the stafT of the whole army , his selection attested at once the wisdom nnd the con fidence of the king. In this position ho found the opportunity to make immortal fame as a general. The military genius of Moltko was in planning campaigns. Ho was n consum- mlite master of strategv. This was brll liantly shown in the warbotwoon Prussia and Austria in 1801) ) , but the fame of the great soldier rests upon the French campaign of 1870-71 , which In the opinion of all students of stra tegical science has never been excelled in completeness of detail and masterly arrangement. It Is of course to bo ru momborod In considering the success ol this campaign that the Gorman army was in perfect condition a fact the credit of which Is also largely duo to Von Moltko was magnificently equipped and was imbued with that spirit which carries armies to victory , while the con dition of the Froroh armies was in nearly all respects inferior and they had no such inspiration to light. Still , without such a general as the armies of Germany hai in Von Moltko they probably would not have achieved so rapid nnd complete n , victory. The genius of the great sol dier cannot bo disparaged by any com parlson of the moans at his command with these of the iirmlcs ho overcame and ho merited all the honors ho re ceived , all the affection and homage which his countrymen have shown him and all the credit which the world has glved him. Von Moltko was born October 2(5 ( 1800 , and his ninetieth birthday was celebrated throughout Germany last year with great popular enthusiasm the occasion being marked by n notable manifestation i ot-Uio esteem in which the veteran soldiof was held by the omporor. Us death wllW bo universally and sin- oroly mourncuNjy the Gorman people \ \ nby the sons of the fathorlnnd ovory- vhcro. , is ro During thoanfflnorablo Chicago fire of 871 the onlyj | Wildings that withstood ho torrlflo ortjdal of llro were the post- lllco and court Siousq. Those two build- ngs proved tlwlmsolvos absolutely fire ) roof because there was literally no com- nistlblo material in their make-up. In the Chicago flro and , Inter on , In the front Boston llro , largo blocks of granlto , ron and glass were literally demolished ) .V flro and walor , notwithstanding the act that they had boon regarded as Ire proof. The truth is , however , that absolutely flro proof buildings are still ory scare in this country. It goes vlthout saying that no building can ) o classed as fireproof unless all its glr- lors and beams are wrought iron or tool , and its roof is mndo of brick ttlo or slate resting upon n steel or Iron framo. The so called blow burning buildings vh Ich have recently boon constructed vlth flro proof tiles resting on wooden > eams and joists are not much bettor han the ordinary llro traps encased In ornamental stone , brick and glass supcr- tructures. iV striking instance of the worthloss- icss of bogus flro proofing was furnished ess than two months ago by the fire in .he . Lumbar Exchange building at Minne apolis. This imposing structure was an cloven story building , with sandstone rent and elegant interior finish in mar- jlo and encaustic tilluir. To the unlni- , iaied it appeared to bo absolutely flro > roof. The only combustible material visible were the window frames , baso- roards , lloors and doors. A fire in an idjolnlng five story building occupied by in oil and paint concern shot through the roof and entered the Lumber Ex change through the windows of the sixth story. In less than three hours Lliis great building , which was sup posed to bo llro proof , was a mass of ruins interiorly and the outer walls of iho upper stories were badly jamnged by lire and water. The llro proofing was entirely inade quate. There were only a few iron girders hero and there to support the lloors and the lire tiling between the wooden joists afforded no protection against the devouring element , The great water tank under the roof stood upon wooden beams and whtin those were burned by the flro the tank , with its enormously heavy contents , crashed through all the lloors to the b.isqinont. The same dis astrous results followed the burning of wooden joists in several stores wherever they supported iron safes. The only portion of the Lumber Exchange that was not ruined .was a now wing where wooden joists imd been entirely dis carded. 5 The conscnsus'rtf ' opinion based on ox- poricnco is thnt'tho slow burning pro cess with llro tilor.rches ( resting on / wooden joists ifi a s'liiini and cannot bo depended on lis h n'oloiition against lire. Such arches , moreover , are liable to cause a dangerous sqttling of buildings whenever the joists are attacked by dry rot. Those who .really want to con struct modern fire proof buildings must go to the expense of wrought iron or steel girders and beams. TUN DISASTKll AT 110MK. The explosion of n powder magazine in a fort near the city of Rome , with the killing and wounding of a number of per sons and the destruction or irreparable injury of valuable works of art in the Vatican and in the churches of St. Peter and St. Paul , is a calamity that invites moro than passing attention. The full extent of the disaster , so far as the treas ures of art are concerned , it may take some little time to ascertain , but the in dications are that it is qulto se rious , and that some of the most precious works in the world , which have boon the admiration of mankind for centuries as representing the genius of some of the greatest masters - tors who over lived , are altogether lester or so impaired that they cannot bo ro- slorcd. Of course those which have boon destroyed cannot bo replaced , and a work of art that has boon damaged loses much of its interest , for no skill can fully repair the injury. Tlio value of the treasures of art in the vtitican and the great churches of Rome , with which the names of Raphael and Michael Angelo are inseparably as sociated , with a host of others hardly loss famous , cannot be expressed in dollars and cjnts. Their pecuniary worth , by any accepted method of ap praisal , is insignificant in comparison with their educational , and perhaps it should also be said , their moral value. They speak to this ago of the marvelous genius , the elevated thought , the lofty aspiration , and the tireless industry of the men of past centuries , tolling us that while in the conquest of material things ) wo have iiyido progress , In that which altunos tholnlnd to the contem plation of the pure and the beautiful and uplifts the soul nOovo the influence of sordid worldly affairs , wo have fallen back , and must tjeqk | instruction nnd In spiration from' tlio generations long dead. The world'of today cannot afford to part with suclijtcachcrs the products of the supreme genius of Michael Angelo golo , of Raphd/jl / of Giotto , Bernini , Tadolinl , and thftliinny others who were contemporary wltll or followed them. They tire pricolp. J' ' , and the loss of any of thorn is not that of Rome alone , or of Italy , but the t'lvjllzod ' world. Almost innumerable as U.y ) works uf art are in the Vatican and 'in ' St. Potor's , none of them can well bo spared. The force of the explosion must have Iwon tremendous to have such results as is reported from it , a distance nearly three mlles away , and It Is almost in credible that such structures as the par liament building , the Vatican and the church of St. Peter should have had bo great a shaking up as they are said to have received. It is to bo hoped that further investigation will show that the damage to the art treasures has no boon so great as at firxt reported , uni will not bo wholly irreparable. TjllJ paper tnat commanded the great est interest ut the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences the past vook was b.r Prof. Lnngley of the Smith- oninn institution on flying machines , [ 'ho ' professor gave the results of n series of experiments ho began about 11 vo years igo to ascertain the possibilities ot aerial navigation , anil ho stated that ho ind reached the conclusion that the imoutit of power required for artificial light was perfectly attainable jy Btoam engines wo now pos sess. Ho had demonstrated what ho characterized ns an amazing fact , that .ho faster you go the loss It costo in : > ewer , nnd tluit ji ono-horso power will transmit a much heavier weight at n 'apld ' speed than at n slow one. Prof , jtingloy was not prepared to say that nan could traverse the air , but under certain conditions nnd with our existing noans , so far as the power Is concor nod , the thing was possible. Tlio difficulties would Iw in getting started , in coming lown to the ground again nnd In ptild- ng one's self through the air. Ho .bought that experiments in aerial nav- gallon would pass out of the sphere of iharlatanlsni and Into the' hands of en gineers in a short tlmo , nnd ho predicted lotnblo results , saying that ho did not question that man would ultimately ac- qulro the knowledge of moans to suc cessfully traverse the air. A promise of this kind from such a source Is entitled - titled to most respectful consideration , ind it opens the way to wide and ploas- , ng excursions of the Imagination. TIIK most trustworthy reports and estimates from abroad continue to indi cate that there will bo an exceptional demand for American wheat this year , nnd the promise is that this country will bo nblo to supply it. If the conditions now indicated shall bo realized the farm ers of the United States will have a measure of prosperity during the next two years greater than they have had at my time for a number of years past , and It would seem that in any event , assum ing that this year's crop will not exceed - coed the nvorago for several years , \morlcan farmers are assured a gen erous return for their industry. The outlook for the agricultural interest of the country appears altogether hopeful , and this carries with it the promise of prosperity to all interests.
