Harrison and Tho Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, April 80 Under date OF
Dec. ~, 1891, Mr.. William Dudley Foulke,
OF Richmond, Ind, a prominent advocate of
civil service reform, wrote letter to Presi
dent Harrison asking him why he did not
extend the civil service rules to postofices
and custom houses having less than fifty
employees, in accordance with the declara
ton in the last Republican platform that
the classified civil service system should be
extended to all grades Of the service TO
which il was applicable. Mr. Foulke says
in his letter that the civil service commits
sioners have repeatedly urged that this ex
tension be made to postoilices having TWEEN
ty-five employees OF more, yet the president
has not ordered the extension. The presi
dents reply follows;
WAsHIN0rOS, Dec. 81, 1891
Hon. William Dudley Foulke, Richmond. Ind.
MY DEAR sfR 1 have your letter Of Dec 2b
have not time this morning 10 discuss At any
length the question which you present or X
attempt any restatement Of what / have at
tempted TO do in the promotion Of civil service
reform movements since have been here. Ny
thought was that the first thing to do was IL
satisfy the country that the law was being
faithfully and impsrtiaily administered as T.
those Offices already classified. l think good
deal has been accomplished in that direction, A.
there has been an important extension OF thl
classified service. The subject presented by
you, as well as some other suggested move
ments, has been having and will have my con
sderaton, but / am not now prepared 20 an
nounce my programme Very truly yours

HEAD ON COLLISION,

Two Electric Cars Come Together on
Idaho Street Near Ninth Avenue.
Shortly before six O'Clock Yesterday after
aoon two cars of tho Rapid Transit COM
pany were in collision on Idaho street near
Ninth avenue. The car bound for the
depot had stopped on the switch on Eighth
avenue near Idaho street to wait Tor the
uptown chr to pass. The latter being
somewhat behind time. the d~epot-bound
car drew out of the switch, turned the
curve on Idaho street and started down
That street. Soon after rounding the curve
me car coming up town was sighted.
Nslther pilot made any effort to stop at
oboe, but kept on, evidently trying to solve
tne problem of how to make two cars pass
on one track. The experiment. was nnsnne
cessful. AS the two cars ueared aach.
6 Saws, the a Pilots tbss Slowed up. It was too late,
force. The platform of the car Iound IN
tow was so badly smashed that tho car
had to be sent to the shop. The other was
somewhat damaged, but continued 10 RIM
Each car had several passengers on board
but beyond Il shaking up no one was in.

SICKLES AND LONGSTREET.

A Thrilling Scene at an Irish Banquet in
## Atlanta.
ATLANTA. Ga, April 22.-At a banquet
given BY the Irish societies Gen. Daniel
Siekles was n specially invited guest.
The general was announced to respond to
the toast, "The Empire State of the
North" As the old war-horse arose on his
crutches the most thunderous applause
greeted him.
The applause continued for some mo-
ments. He hoped that in the f%ullness of
years that peace and good fortune would
come to the glorious Emerald Isle, so long
shrouded in deepest gloom. Zone word,''
is great pleasure to meet tonight and sit
opposite my good friend, Gen. Longstreet.
[Applause. How we'll we like a fellow
after we have fought him. And how we'll
one will like the lion of the oonfederacy
after having fought him. And I, most Of
all, after he shot my leg off. [Great ap-
plause. l shall never forget the warm en-
brace with which he welcomed me. I would
that every soldier who fought in the last
war could have seen it,"
Gen. Longstreet arose and Gen. Siokles
placed his arm around the grizzled veteran,
As one man 800 men rose to their feet and
yelled and yelled. They mounted the
Iaoiss aAu screaLneu. IL wac a scene never
to be forgotten. The two generals stood
with their arms around each other, with
every eve upon them. "Here we stand to-
gether." said Gen. Sickles, but not as we
met as Gettysburg. 1t Gen. Lonpstreet's
honor ever needs defending it will be de-
Tended at my hands,"
The band struck up "Dixie." Three
cheers for Gen. Sickles were given with a
will. Every throat called fer Longstreet,
and he again rose. He was deeply affected,
and pointing dramatically at the union
flag sang the opening lines of the star
Spangled Banner The audience went
wild. Gen. Longstreet made but a short
talk, referring to the battle of Gettysburg.
where he met Gen. Sickles. His few words
created the widest enthusiasm, and the
band again played Dixie"

Open LAWRENCE STREET..
Judge Bucks Decision Makes the
Way Clear for a Public
Improvement
All the Assessment, Save q Very
Small Amount, Have Been
Paid.
Warrant for the SCHOOL BoArd's Portion
Drawn-Power Of the City Over
Delinquent Assessments.

The decision Of Judge Buck in the agreed
case of the city of Helena against the
school trustees Of this distriot, in which the
opening OF Lawrence street was involved,
was received With 4 great deal OF satisfac-
tion by all those people who realize that
there should be an east and west thorough
fare in Helena. With Lawrence street
opened and no street cars allowed on it, it
will make q safe and pleasant cross street,
extending from Monroe as far cast az the
city may grow. The necessity for such q
CROSS street has long been realized, and for
about two years those who want to see the
city improve have been urging it. It will
be a great convenience to the church-golng
people, as Lawrence street, when opened,
will lead directly to more places OF worship
than any other street in the city. Judge
Bucks decision s~ustains the validity of sew
eral city ordinances. The Irst is Nc. los,
providing for the condemnation of prop
srty for the purpose Of opening Lawrence
street. The other is ordinance No. 1913, levy
Ing q tax against abutting property for the
purpose Of paying two-thirds Of the cost
for opening the street. Judge Buck held
that inasmuch as a majority Of the owners
of front feet or Lawrence street had signed
the petition asking that the street DO
opened, the school board must pay its pro-
PARTON. The court also held that any spe-
pial levy made by the city for such purpose
Is entirely legal. The school board did not
,ign this petition, its share Of tho assess
ment being So. 6S3.02. The assessment al
together amounted to $1,000. This has All
been paid in save $l.637.41, those delin-
quent being VIM. Larue. Il. Payne, r. Ho-
back, G. w. Cannon and r. Jockey. The
tion the city pays for tho grading. The
money collected from the abutting property
is paid 60 the city treasurer. and he in turn
pays for the property needed to open the
street. Th oity has the powor to pay the
delinquent assessments, and then take the
property delinquent and sell it to
reimburse itself. In doing this the city
chances. In st. Paul great difficulty was
found in collecting special assessments on
abutting property for opening streets. A
test case was taken into tie courts, and the
supreme tribunal decided that where 4 ma
jority Of the property owners signed the
petition and paid their assessment the city
was empowered to pay for all the property
quent property and thus reimburse itself.
It is not thought. however, that those now
delinquent will fail to pay their share. The
school board has paid its share of the as
sessment. and there will probably be 8
special meeting Of the CITY council this
afternoon to authorize the drawing of q
warrant for the payment of the city's share,
and also to pay the delinquent assessments,
il case there should DO any. Bids will Be
called for grading the street, and it is to be
hoped the work will be pushed through with
all dispatch.
