CONCENTRATIONS.
An Appreciated Farewell.

All tApPioSAf1Neu eHpWeA'A
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER; My attention was attracted to the following heading of local item in to- days issue, viz: "A Farewell Trolley Party" experienced a sensation of unalloyed peace and relief to read that any trolley party would indulge in a "farewell'' and I only trust 1t was not meant in a Patti sense, but would be a real. bona fide farewell.
 A trolley party in itself can be made a source of true relaxation and joy. When the members are contented to wave the American flag, lift their gentle voices in song. indulge in rapid and even boisterous repartee, cheer for g. new charter or chaff the less favored pedestrians, a trolley party is not only unobjectionable but diversifying, but when one ''gent" stations himself on the bow of the car, balances on one leg, hangs over the dash board and pounds an unintermittent tattoo on the gong for one hundred and nineteen continuous minutes, while a second "gent" locates in the rear and blows a continuous blast from a long, loud and inhormonious horn well that's am other story" but a true one and so long as the trolley car managers allow this condition of things, just so long will the average trolley party be an unmitigated public nuisance.
 Hence 1t was with d feeling of satis- faction that I learned that at least one trolley was to take a farewell. May it be contagious,
 A VICTIM.

REEnhlr .IN ILLTNOTs.

There has been some demand for mu- nioipal civil service reform in Illinois, and the legislature of that State has decided to give the cities an opportunity to make an experiment in that line if they want to. A law has been passed providing a general scheme for the elim- nation of the spells element from mu- nicipal politics and for securing a better class of administrative officials than 1t is usually the lot of any city to get. The application of the law is left op- tional with each city, it being provided that the enforcement of it shall be sub nlitted to popular vote on the presenta- ton of petition from a thousand citi- zens. This condition having been com piled with in Chicago, that city, at the regular municipal election to be held next Tuesday. will be the first to vote upon the question of the adoption of the proposed regulations. These regulations apply to nearly the whole municipal civil service, including laborers and ex- empting only officials elected by the peo
 pie or by the city council, or those whose appointment is subject to con- firmation by the city council, judges and clerks of election. members of the board of education, school teachers and a, few others All other appointments to the municipal civil service are, under this law, to be made on merit, as de- terrnined by competitive examination The soliciting or receiving of political assessments. or in any way aiding dn soliciting or receiving them, is to be explicitly forbidden; and it is also pro- vded that all vacancies be filled by promotions from the next lower rank in the classified service, through com petitive examinations especially design. ed to determine fitness for promotion.
 It is estimated that if the people of Chicago decide to try the law it will work radical change in about fifteen thousand city positions. These have hitherto been used as spells to reward the followers of the successful party leaders, have of course been subject to change at every political overturn and naturally have been a great source of corruption and of loss to the city. One public official calculates that such a. change in filling the offices will save the treasury at least g. million dollars a year. He adds that, in his opinion, "the effectiveness of the service and the economy practiced will be increased not less than 25 per cent" that public of- fees will then cease to be political hos pitfalls and eIeemosynary institutions" and that instead of a ''pull'' being re- qulred to secure an appointment, "abil- ity. reputation, physical conditions and adaptaIbility to certain kinds of work will be the standards"
 How the voters of Chicago will deal with the matter remains to be seen. If they decide to try the reform it will be very interesting to see what comes of it.

More gold. Rich gold and silver de- posits have been opened in the Koote- mai country of British Columbia, about a2O miles north of Spokane Falls, in the State of Washington. Many mines are now in advanced stages of development. Two of them are shipping concentrates of lead and silver via the Canadian Pa rific railroad to Omaho. These ores contain 70 per cent. of lead and from 125 to 153 ounces of silver to the tom The freight on the concentrates is $19 per ton, the duty $10, and the cost of treat ment $9, making total of $3S per ton, which is just the value of the lead. The silver, over and above the cost of pro- duction and the interest on the invest ment, is therefore clear profit. The gold production of the same district promises to be very large.

When Mrs. Keziah Ford was sen- henced to jail at Newark the other day flor keeping al disorderly house, 1t looked for a time as though she might escape the penalty despite the law, for the bailer absolutely refused to receive two prisoners on one commitment, and the woman had an infant with her from whom she could not well be separated The trial justice was equal to the oeca- sion, however, for when the matter was referred back to him he promptly or dered the child locked up for disorderly conduct in crying in court during the mothers trial and commitment was made out accordingly.

Why, pertinently asks the Dry Goods Economist, 'should there not be a school for the training of consuls, where a knowledge of the subjects and studies most necessary in such post could be acquired? Certainly, the equipment re- uuired by such consuls as this country ought to have can best be obtained by study in special direction, and 1t would seem that the examinations which it is now suggested that candi- dates for admission into the consular service should pass call for the pro vision of opportunities for the acquisi- ition of the special knowledge demand ed. We should like to see the United States consular service have the repu- tation and the esprit de corps of the United States Navy"

r. o. HlCK MAN BETTER.
The Doctors Now Have Hopes OF His
Ultimate Recovery.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Thompson re-
turned yesterday from Chicago. They
bring very encouraging reports as to
the condition of Mrs. Thompson's
father: State Land Agent r. O. Hick-
man, who has been in a hospital there
coma of the shoulder. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Hickman's condition was eX-
tremely critical. but about two weeks
ago a change for the better occurred
and he has been improving since. The
change is probably due to the use of
~anti-toXinc, which is injected into Mr..
Hickman's shoulder once a day. The
operation causes a great deal of suffer-
ing, but under it Mr.. Hickman seems
to be getting better. He is still quite
weak, being confined to his bed all the
time. Mr.. Hickman is more cheerful
than he has been for some time: he is
bearing up bravely under the intense
suffering. and his physicians now be-
lieve that his recovery is probable.
This will be welcome news to Mr..
Hickman's many friends in Montana
who had almost given him up.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson are glad to
return to Montana although the wealth
en- just o is colder than it was in
Chicago when they left. They are re-
siding at II South Rodney street.-In-
