IT is hoped that Major Dye will so in
struct his police officers that they will not
interfere with citizens who, in cleaning the
snow from off their pavements, pile it
around the shade trees. 1t is a good and
wise practice. If this were done in all
cases it would help the trees immeasurably,
and not necessarily interfere with the COM
fort Of pedestrians. There is so little
chance, because of the concrete, for moisture
to reach the roots Of the trees that when
there is chance to store up supply it
should not be neglected. Let the snow stay
around the trees.

THE question has been asked quite fre-
quently lately, why it was that the great
objector, Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, had
failed to put in any objection to the two or
three resolutions that have been introduced
in the House increasing the number of
employees. The reason is plain. The reso.
lutions were for the benefit of Indiana men,
the House Postmaster and the chairman of
the House Invalid Pensions Committee.
Only this, and nothing more.

The Legislature of Iowa, in caucus last
night, by reclamation, ronomlnated Senator
Allison for United States Senator. This
will be his third term in the Senate. He
served three terms in the lower branch of
Congress before he was elected to the
Senate, in 1873. He is an honest, faithful
and painstaking representative, and the
legislators in Iowa did right in re.electing
him.

our statesmen will remember this and act
accordingly, they will make both reputa-

Adding this increased vote TO that cast
in 1880 gives the strength Of the Demo
crats in tGs electoral college atl'2, which,
with the thirty-six votes of New York
state, would make 208, clear majority
Of seven.
In this enumeration the only stste not
certainly Democratic is New York, while
not included in il are Indiana and Con-
necticu,, which are quite as likely to be
Democratic as Republican. Beyond this
it would bs idle for the Democrats 10
look. They might carry all the states
first named, and Indiana and Connecticut
as well, but, losing New York. they would
be defeated. On the other hand, II they
should make New York the battle field,
and stake their hope OF success on their
ability 10 carry it, they would, with IN
Objectionable candidates, have but TO re.
tain state already their cwn, and the
votes of Indiana and Connecticut could
be held in reserve to make up TO: any
break which might occur in some less
important quarter. The necessity of the
Democrats making their campaign IN New
York is So plain as 70 require no labored
argument 10 substan;is.e il. Without
that state they cannot win. as the figures
show. With II, defeat would be prac-
ticaliy out Of the question.

THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS.

There is no objection to the city grant

purposes, or anything else provided it is
not exclusive. There have been 81 many
items in the papers respecting the grant
ing of franchise to A. ?. Sharps.ein
tha, it looks very much ike a niger in

to gran. an exclusive franchise for the
pnr pose of pnttins up a ,elephane than 1t

ties have heretofore expressed their vii
hngness to pu, up telephones in this city
and only ask public patronage, and why
an exclusive one should be granted to
any individual Is known only to those
who are interested
