Pt'KI.IC PtXktl.The bill introduced in the Xew York

Legislature to redeem Niagara fromits disgraceful surroundings and convertit into a public park, held in trust as aprecious public possession, has created aLitter contest throughout the Stateand elicited a general discussionus to the utility of public parks.Niagara Tails lias been desecrated bymettieuaty creatures who have taken

whose filthy appearance and con-stant cry to give divests every object cfthe grandeur in which history and theimagination has clothed it; and after thevisitor to Niagara Falls has been fleecedly tie hotels, the scalpers and the vari-ous swindling devices, he is in no condi-tion to contemplate with satisfaction one

" the grandest arid most sublime scenes1'ie world bus ever known. Niacara Fall?i ive given fame to the I'nited States gov-

ernment. Like the Mississippi river, they; re objects of national importance and ifi':e State of New York fails to rescuethem from disgrace, Congress- shouldMake a Dational park out of its greatestnational piide. The living generation istoo u.neh disposed to act upon that prin-ciple of sclfishue-- s which refuses to do

ryt hing for posterity because posteritylas done Lotting: for them. But wisesi'jd patriotic statesmanship takes awider vi rw ard acts not only for the liv-

ing, but the welfare, the glory andgruJeur of future jreneratiou. Naarly

all the leading cities are discussing thequestion of public parks, some with theview of fresent improvement and others

ith the view of purchasing beautifulproves of timbered land contiguous tothe cities to be concerted iuto parks byfuture generations. One generationmust make history for anotbet,arid this cannot t'C done by

a selfishnesn and avarice whichprovided only for the living generation.Vast as is the domain "of the UnitedStates broad and wide as is its territoryextending from ocean to ocean and fromthe Kocky mountains to the gulf we doDot occupy as much space in parks asEurope with its dine population andcoutracted area of territory. Vienna,with a population of 8HI,IH0, has a parkarea of RkrO acres, while Philadelphia,with a population of 900,KXi, has au areaof only 3ikX) acres. London and Parishave, respectively, fifteen and eight acresin parks to every acre in New York.The niggardly and parsimonious seem tothink that parks are expensive luxuries,ond that the money invested in them is

so much capital wasted. Hut (ho truth is

they are a source of revenue, as they in-

variably euhance real estate values iu thevtards and vicinity in which they arelocated. The Xcw York Park Asociaticn in its lat report shows from theofficial records that the taxable value ofreal estate in the warda iu which CentralPi'.vk is situated had increased from o

iu ISotj to Stl2J"a,85l in IStJl, orat the rate of flfty per cent, a year, whilethe pdvance in the other wards of thecity was only two-fol- Regarding thewhole transaction simply as a real estatespeculation, the city mado til ,000.000 incash over and above all the outlay fortuo purchase and improvement of thepark, and acquired in addition thretoland valued at $200,000,000. The expe-rience of Xew York correspond? withthat of other cities; that these great pub-

lic improvements have not only paid forthe outlay but realized a very large profiton the investment, and there are othervery important benefits which are not soobviously apparent, but to which the at-

tention of all who are interested shouldbe directed. In every city in the l uitcdStat thi extension jf paribeen invariably followed by a rise in

real estate. The increase of taxes onthe property iu the vicinity of parks paysfor the money invested in the parks. The

ark commissioner of Chicago says that"ths immediate effect Was to double aud'juadruple the Value ol such property.'In reply to a similar inouiry the superin-tendent of parks in Buffalo writes: "Theincrease in the wards in which the parksare situated is oTOper cerjt., while theincrease in ail the other wards com- -

is atiout --on per cent. A pro-gressive system of ptAris not onlybenefits a ti'y iinaucially, but it,

to the health of the people. Ifthe beautiful grove arjd the surroundiigs in which t. A.ncs is located wereconverted into a park every piece of realestate near this locality would soon ad-

vance to fabulous prices. Memphis isoehind other cities in park area, and itshould be iucreased. If in their selfish-rcs- s

our people should bo influenced bythe paltry fear of taxing themselves fbt

ty they cau purchase parks withcity bonds made payable by posterity andthus fvrce future generations to con-

tribute t their wealth and happiue.-3-

St'AKi, March 23. While detachmentsif English snd Indian infantry weremaking for a nsrreba seven miles south-west of fnakim yesterday, they were sud-

denly surprised by a rush of Arabs, whowere massed and eoncealed in a detilewest of Hasheeo. The English formed afojuare as quickly as possible, bnt thecamels, mules aud borsts driven back inconfusion on the troops caused a stampede,cud amid the clouds of dust the Arabspenetrated the south and north sides oithetqnare. Meanwhile, the marines andBerkshire reeiment, who were on thee?st and west sides of the rquare, main-tained a continuous fire, holding theenemv at bay, wh le a charge of cavalryaud tire froai the guns at thezreba checked the onslaught of Arabs,whicti at the outset threatened seriousitisaeter to the British. Uen. Graham re-

ports the English losses, as far as known,ut two ctlicets and twenty-tw- o men killedand thirty-thre- e men wounded. Thelosses of the enp; neers, transports corpsand Indian troops have not yet been re-

ported.A complete scar-Bisa- .

An nncflicial estimate places the Britishtiued at lifty-tw- o and wounded eighty-fiv- e.

Nearly ail the casualties were due tospear thrusts received in hand-to-han- d

engagements. The Arabs got betweenthH transport train and the zreba andspeared the men of the transport corpsmid killed the animals. They fought y,

refusing to give or take quarter.McNeill, who cominande 1 thezsreba,

reports vacuely that there were severalthuutar.d rebels in the fight and over 1000

were killed or wounded. McNeill isblamed for not taking precautions againstasurptise.

were hamstrung by the Arabs. Scores ofcamp-followe- were cut up. The Arabswere scattered about in the whole vicini-tv-,

The Hon. James K. Berry won ibe day,and will succeed "our Garland" in the

ent, Prof. Patten, hut how absurd! I haveoften wondertd why a great poet said,'The richest treasure mortal times arlordU enotless reputation." Perhaps 'lis agood idea, and that only God is justenough to handle character aright, so agood name should not be taken from onelightly, as one "s eals trash." But wouldit be done "just for fun" by some of thebest members of this Legislature of whichwe are so justly croud ? The past is often

' better buried, but judgment should be re--'

served untii these committeeb' work is fin-- iished. If truth is told, enough is wrongat the present time to send soma of thehigh ones lower.

The State Industrial University investi-- J

ization resulted in the vindication of thepresent management. Wednesday nightProf. Edgar, the president, de lvered atalk to the Leitislature, speaking of the

j desire to take in the departments of agri- -

culture and horticulture, and saying thatthe State has attempted to sustaiu an

of a higher grade than she hasneeded. He advocated either an intro-duction of the two departments named crnn entire abandonment ci the presentnystem. You tee the school has been allalong sailing under falsa colors, as youmight say.
