OF the more standard variety. The
mildness has not been local only. 1t
has extended in q considerable ratio to
all the northern parts of the country.
In spite of all the compliments the sa-
lubrity of the winter has elected, it is
doubtful if very strong vote could be
had in this community for its substitu
ton for the old variety. 1t has let in
the grip and kindred affections. and a
bare month Of indifferent sleighing has
afforded meager opportunities for the
musical merriment of outdoor sports.
The fact is, this was arranged for
climate that is somewhat severe but
equable in the winter, and unsurpassed
for vigor in the spring qualities. Peo-
pie feel more buoyant, and there is
ruddier glow to the system in the old
fashioned, steady, solid winter than ix
this mild-tempered. eneryatlng sort.
The old is the best.

THE E1ECrRIu SYSTEM

Yesterday was gala day of eXtraor-
binary Importance for the people of st.
Paul. In addition to giving free and
full ebullition Of patriotic sentiment
usual to the day, the citizens of our city
celebrated it as the dawn of new era
in the methods of street railway transit.
The formal opening of the first electric
motor railway line in this city was the
occasion for an immense turnout of
leading citizens to witness the start
and to participate in a celebration of
the event. To say that the trial trip
over the new line was magnificent
success is mild expression of the views
and opinions Of those who went out on
the excursion, and all were lavish in
their praise of the projectors and mana
gers of the new system. A mat
ter of more general Importance,
however, lies in the fact that
the line opened yesterday is the
introduction of the electric system
which is soon to become the universal
mode of street transit in the Twin Cities.
The horse car, with its memories, is to
vanish forever, to be supplanted by
power that was not thought of when
the horse car was first introduced.
There were those who rode out on the
Grand avenue electric line yesterday
who remember when St. Paul was
clamoring for horse car line; and,
when it was secured, our people fat
tered themselves that they had obtained
the full stature of metropolitan growth.
And yet, of all the hundreds who went
out over the Grand avenue line yester-
day, there were none SO poor as to do
the horse car reverence. They looked
down upon it with contempt, as the
useless relic Of past age and of almost
q past civilization. The world moves,
and we are moving with it.
An advantage that the electric system
enjoys over even the cable system is
the smoothness with which the trains
run. There is freedom from that con-
slant and eyerlastingly Objectionable
Jerking which renders riding on cable
so unpleasant. The electric cars move
Off quickly, but without jerk; and they
can be stopped as readily, or even more
so, than cable car. Steep grades are
no obstacle, as was satisfactorily DEM
onstrated on the steep ascent reaching
from the foot of the hill to Grand ave-
nue.. Through the interurban section,
stretching from the populated part OF
Grand avenue. or Manchester Park, to
the river, the speed was as rapid as any
one would desire.
1t is evident that the Introduction of
Che electric system will effect wonder
full revolution in Twin City affairs. Ii
will develop the interurban territory
very rapidly. 1t will cheaper transport
tation between the cities; it will bring
the people of the two cities into closer
social and business relations, and may
ultimately aid materially in effecting
an organic union of the two municipaIi-
ties. To Archbishop IRELAND and
THOMAS COCHRAN. Esq, principal credit
Is due for this enterprises fact that's
very generally recognized by our people.

EDUCATIONAL DEFECTS.

At the convention of school superin-
tendents in New York, which was a
meeting preliminary to the National
Educational convention which will as
semble In this city next summer, topic
that afforded interesting discussion was
the suggestion of plan to bring the
school systems of the various states into
more perfect harmony, and thus estab-
lish the cause of popular education on
uniform basis. The principal argu-
ment used by the supporters of the
BLAIR educational bill in advocacy of
that measure Is that there is no uni
formity of system in existing educa-
tional methods, and that it is necessary
for the general government to take con-
troll of educational matters before this
uniformity can ever be attained. The
professional educators, however, the
school superintendent and teachers IN
the various states-take different view
of it. They assent to the prop
osition that uniformity is essential,
but believe that it can be secured by
concerted action among the school Off
Gals Of the various states, and if it
can be thus secured, 1t would be better
than to adopt the paternal theory in
volved in the BLAZE bill. Their idea
is to form a model state school system
by selecting all the best features and
discarding the most Objectionable in the
various state systems; and when this pro-
posed model system is formed, then sub
nit it to each of the several states to be
adopted. Then, when all the states are
operating precisely the same system,
the desired uniformity will be secured,
and at the same time the schools will be
under local control. which, by the way,
is the main consideration in any school
system. The further power is removed
from the body of the people. the more
Objectionable does government be.

SEEK HOMES ON THE STRIP.
Boomers Preparing to Settle Oh
Cherokee Lands.


ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. 22-
Several weeks ago a reporter here
received an intimation that a colony
was being organized. with head
quarters in this city to move
on the Cherokee strip Just
south of this city. But little was
thought of it at that time for the reason
that all former movements of the kind
were inaugurated with great pomp and
ceremony. To-day it is taken that such
a colony IS being organized, and that it
is far-reaching in its scope. and power
full in its composition because of the re-
spectability and general Intelligence of
its advocates and followers. Yesterday
a gentlemen, who declined to
give his name and residence,
was met by reporter who
said that he came direct to JOIN the col
ony aud that hundreds of others would
arrive within the next few weeks. He
dISclaimed being a boomer. and said
that all he and his associates in the
organization want is homes in the I'M
occupied lands of the United States,
and that they had assurances
that they would not be disturbed
by the government in the
ambition. These revelations coupled
with the fact that this city has been un.
usually full of strangers for the past
week, and that eight Car loads of house
hold goods were received here yeSter-
day by one railroad. all inspire the peo-
pie here with the belief that the excit-
ing scenes enacted before the opening
of Oklahoma will soon be repeated on u
much larger scale.

i, GOSSIP OF THE DAY,
A joke

A Joke A few days since
New York newspaper
on Sawyer. correspondent, in lieu
of better or more ap-
propriate subject for his Washington
letter, presented in his paper readable
sketch on the senatorial bachelors and
widowers, and the great catches for
widows and manageable madens
among the legislators in the upper
branch OF congress, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. The article was illustrated
and highly colored, sufficiently so to at
tract the eye of any ambitious female.
Senators Sawyer and Allison were
grouped together In a handsome picture
representing likely widOwers. and their
faces were arranged to give view of
their ktndliest aud most philanthroplc
sides.
1t is apparent that 1921 females in the
country saw the article and were smitten
by the opportunities it offered for a
splendid catch. 1t appears that each of
these 1881 females was particularly
struck with the kindly and philanthropic
cOuntenance of the senior Wisconsin
senator, the description given of his ele-
CANT new home, an the portly proper
tons given his pocketbook. At least
enough of them seemed to be so i'm
pressed to open up to the astonished
gaze of MIR. Sawyer a correspondence
OH the subject of matrimony, which for
volume, flow of soul, and delightful OPP
portunities for conjugal bliss would
have made Mormon elder in good
standing in the Church of the Latter
Day Saints. Salt Lake City, swear re-
newed allegiance to the spirit and the
commands of the late and immortalized
Joe Smith.
Letters came from widows and
maidens, from some Iowly in life, and
some who would be willing to light up
the new senatorial home with a glow
that would scOrch the frescoing. Some
wanted to exchange photos, and others
would be willing to fly to the ample pro-
lection OF the senatorial arm. if the
senator would prepay passenger tariff
rates on Sizeable package of ambitious
woman. Some were seriously loving
and some were pathetically touching in
their soiicitude for the senator's well
fare.
The senator had his laugh over the
tender epistles, and after destroying
part of them, beth0ught himself of the
courtesy due brother senator. and in
PLAIN, matter-of-business way, folded
each letter and wrote across the back in
the customary manner:
Respectfully referred to the Hon.
William B. Allison, United States SEN
ate. with the request that my corre-
Spondents be accommodated. if possible,

TOPICAL TALK.

Gcath of 1t sometimes hap
pens that a prophet
Count can have more honor
in his own country
Andrassy. than abroad. This
was notably the case
with Count Julius AndrasSy. of Austria;
who died last Tuesday at Buda-Pesth,
and yet when the announcement Of his
death was flashed across the ocean there
wasn't probably one person in fifty in
this country who could recall the name,
or could remember in what way he had
been conspicuous. Still, Count Andras-
sy might be easily set down as the most
eminent statesman Austria ever pro-
duced. He had ebeckered career in
early life, growing out of his connection
with the revolutionary movement in
Hungary, and was for long time in eX-
lie. In 1857 he was enabled by the am
nesty to return home without having to
answer for his patriotism with his life,
and since that time he has been to
Austria what Bismarck has been
to Prussia-the main stay of the throne
aud the guiding hand of his country's
destiny. HIS influence became recOg-
nized in Europe, and even Bismarck
paid tribute to his genius. In 1871 the

1t has been known in European court
circles that he was in his retirement
the power behind the Austrian throne,
and in all respects dictated the policy
of the empire. He has been the ardent
friend of peace; and it is said that his
influence, more than any other, had
restraining effect On Bismarck's beliig-
erent disposition. His death may yet
prove calamity to the continent of
Europe.

over the shelves without finding the OBJ

on another turn, Mr.. Bloust
said: 81 am glad to see that avarice has

The Americans are greedy and grasp
ing working day and night to
make money and wearing themselves
out in the mad race for wealth-but
when they get money they spend it Law
ishly. Not so with BritOnS. They hoard
their money until they are becoming a
nation of misers. For instance, can
give you the name of London gentle

is now in his SEVENTEEN year, and worth

never spent over $1,000 in any one year,

isn't the way with the American mill

good policy to overthrow the parIia-
