FEAsIBILITY OF THE ROUTE.


There was some dispute as to the FEAST
bility of the route in direct line over the
peak and Mr.. King, the engineer in the Sur
veyor's Office. said he did not believe the
scheme practicable. Mr.. Bartlett offered to
show that it is practicable, and WAS ready to
produce the figures. 1t was only a question
of do las, and The property did not
think any sum too great TO preserve in di-
rect and unbr0ken uniformity the grandest
avenue on the Coast.
Before the discussion closed Chairman
Bingham had slipped out of the committee
room to see man" and left Supervisor
Barry in charge. Mr.. Barry summarily dis
posed Of the matter by ordering the protest
OH file subject TO the committees ORDER and
choking of all further discussion, not, how
ever, until he had questioned Mr.. King
about the respective routes and learned
from that official that his unbiased " opin-
ion was that the direct extension of the
street is not the best route proposed.

vice OF the Superintendent of Streets, will

pleased to receive the attentions Of the
smart young soldier; but after while .
rival sutton appeared on the scene,
and. as he was the owner Of matchmaking
income, his protestations of love sounded
sweeter to her ears than those of the penni-
less sous-offlcer. At last the day came
when Bernadotte was met on the thresh-
old by her mother, who informed him that
Amelie had the evening before betrothed
herself to the Matchmaker. His fury knew
no bounds, and, rushing from the house, he
sought his rival and challenged him to a
duel. The civilian was no coward, and they
met the same evening; but the matchmaker
was no match for Bernadotte, who was con
sidered one of the crack swordsmen of his
regiment, and, after few passes, he fell
with a severe wound in his side.
The victorious soldier hoped that now
Amelie would listen to his suit, but when
he told her what had happened she rallied
at him as the murderer of her lover, and
told him never to let her see his face again.
In six weeks time she became the bride OF
the man who had braved death for her sake,
and soon afterward Bernadotte left Gren-
oble and began the career that landed him
on the throne.
recting the affairs Of the nation, his old
love. Amelie, was wrinkled, decrepit old
woman, the general drudge of waysde
inn.
Ill health had come upon her husband,
and though she had struggled bravely to
tide over the bad times by taking in wash
ing, she had not been able to make head
way against the evil fortune which pursued
them. Her husband died, and she sank to
the lowest level of dependence.
Amelie was fond of repeating the story of
her earlier days, and used to say: "Ah, sir.
should have done much better in marry
ing NJ. Bernadotte. All! made such sad
mistake, for assure you, sir, that NJ. Ber-
nadotte was no common man, and always
had q presentiment that he would distln-
Ruish himself. But when we are young we
do not reflect, though l do not think that
many can have been punished for their
thoughtlessness by the loss of kingdom"
All remembrances of her husbands devo-
ton seemed to have been driven from the
woman's head by brooding over the grand
position she might have occupied had she
refused him. When asked if she ever heard
from him, she replied:
mo, sir. / have written to him several
times since he became king. but he has
never answered my letters. Perhaps he is
still annoyed at my having refused him."
| What an illustration of the workings of
fate! The woman who might have shared
Bernadotte's throne longing for his wash
ing, and prevented from obtaining even
this by her extreme poverty.

most politicians more or less tainted with
demagoguerY7 That is no sufficient an
swer. He is backed by an overwhelming
majority, caring less for the election Of
Tillman, perhaps, than for the ousting
of gang of aristocrats that imagine
themselves divinely entitled to rule.
The spoIls of Office are not the hereditary
perquisites of anybody or any GLASS in
this country. There is no principle of
Democracy better established than that;
and that is the principle that underlies
the uprising OF the people in the Pal

rights to all, and special favors to none.
We know very little about the personal
and political character of Tillman, but
imagine that his popularity is deserved,
and that it will remain SO until he does
something to forfeit It. He ia probably

where ten were advertised three
years ago. What disguised the man
ufaeturers and what forced them to dis
charge the mechanics, whom they pos
sibly had induced to come TO Kansas
City, was simply this:
When fine residence, twenty to 70 900
dollars was to be built, say by man
owning o lot of real estate, he did not
reason to himself in this wise: Now
then, every mechanic employed
in this city represents an average of five
individuals, that consume in dry goods,
shoes, groceries, etc., the whole OF his
wages, and maybe that mechanic will
buy lot and build house; then it Is
my policy TO get all my work done right
here, at all events, IL II does not cost
me more than to get the Chicago or St.
Louis firms to do it. No, he did not so
reason aud impress his ideas on his arch
itect, but he allowed his interior work to
be captured by the smooth tongued sales
men OF Meyer, or Andrews, or Phillips,
ct al. (all Chicago frms) who repre-
sented that the Kansas City mechanics
were no good. Nine times out of ten the
local men were not even given the priyi-
lege of looking ut or bidding on the
plans. The wood mautels were bought
ready made, the stairs, wainscotings,
carvings, etc. were shipped in from the
East; on one residence, for instance,
Sl5 900 were thus sent to employ the me-
chanics of Chicago, whereas in Kansas
City that money would haye kept ten
wood workers busy one year, or twenty
for six months.
The banks. when fitting up or making
changes In their outfits, could never find
Kansas City men to do the work, could
not find their names in the directory
until after the work was done and then
these circulars would come in by the
dozen to the manufacturers of bank and
store fixtures, saying we want you to
deposit your surplus leash with US. One
bank spent 1880 in q new outfit, an
other $1,000, but not one cent went into
local mechanics pockets. And so on
through the whole list of banks. This
course was simply suicidal for Andrews
aud other firms had not even an office in
town-spent not cent in the city,
whereas the local mechanics, whose
wages areAthe life and blood of city's
local trade and prosperity, were forced
to seek work elsewhere. Gentlemen, l
