STREET CLEANERS N TNTFOPV

Ii is a significant Indication OF progress that
the men who are engaged III framing a charter
for the enlarged New-York should make definite
provision for uniformed force of street clean
ers 1t is scarcely more than year since Com
missioner Warning adopted the idea of a uniform
for the men engaged III sweeping the streets Of
the city. 1t was an absolute novelty. and was
received with some misgivings even by intclli-
gent people who had not given special thought
to the subject In fact, many looked on it as
one of Warnings fads that would have only a
temporary existence. Students of the street
cleaning problem. however had perceived for
some time that the only way to give pcrmanency
and character TO the force and 10 take it out Of
the mire Of politics was to put 1t on as distinct
Il basis as that Of the Police or the Fire Depart
mcnt Colonel Warnings idea has enjoyed a
speedy triumph. in spite Of opposition and ridi-
cuc. Only few months ago some overzcalous
member of the Legislature submitted bill pro-
viding that the head Of the Street Cleaning De
partment should he required to wear the same
uniform as the men under HIM. The proposition.
OF course. was not regarded seriously outside Of
Tammany Hall. but it IS clear indication Of the
trend Of sentiment in that organization. 1t was
rs preposterous as would be the suggestion that
the Police Commissioners and Fire Commission
crs should doth, themselves IN the uniforms Of
policemen and hremen. and was meant only 10
interfere with the work
Time was when the uniforms for these two
classes Of public servants were looked on aS Il
mark Of dcgradation but that time has long
passed and the uniform is universally regarded
as a badge of honor. And doubtless the same i
true. So far as the greater part of the community
are concerned. Of the uniforms now worn by the

BJORNSON AND NORWAY.

The announcement that Bj0rnstjerne Bjornson
is about to leave Norway, to take up his perma-
nent residence in Germany. is an incident of
deep importance TO that enlightened country of
the North, and. in certain lights. Of interna-
tional interest and moment In a recent issue
Of the "Verdens Gang he gives the continued
inimical attacks upon him his reason for
deserving his Fatherland. He believes that he
may find more congenial field in Germany
for his literary labors where he will have fewer
temptations to indulge in politics.
Bj0rnson for years has been not only one Of
the most conspicuous literary fgures Of Scandi-
navia. but he has been. also. one Of the pillars
of the Liberal party DESTROYS of bringing about
the independence OF Norway. and of making it
a Republic In name as II now almost Is in fact.
He wants no King and no hereditary ruler His
advocacy of Republican principles and institu-
tons has been persistent so fearless and
so eloquent that he has been often referred
to as the future President Of the coming Re
public He has made enemies in the course Of
his political life. it is true and fierce ones at
that Even some of his sincerest admirers Sc
verely criticised his proposal to give Russia a
free port on the coast OF Norway. Traitor has
been a mild word in the mouths Of his foes
when referring to this proposition. which he adj
vocated with all the force of which he was
capable But his removal to a foreign country
will be a serious loss to Norway The senti-
ment there in favor Of a Republic has long been
widely prevalent and strong, and the feelings OF
Jealousy toward Sweden. and dislike to the
ruling family have been manifested time and
again in ways which left doubt to their
genuneness.
There is country in Europe to-day where
the Republican idea is more highly developed
than in Norway. By the terms of it's Consttu-
ton no new titles Of nobility have been created
there since the union In 1914 and the old fami-
lies with the nobary prefix are all extinct
with one exception. Little more would be neces-
sary than the seating Of a President in the
place OF King Oscar to make 1T a bona fde
Republic to-day. There many who believe
that the day is not far distant when such
change will be made But whatever may be
the direct effect OF the departure Of Bjornson
and the loss of his fearless voice and direct
personal influence. the ideas which he has
preached will live. His followers have learned
their lessons. and the movement-although it
may be retarded--will go fruitiCn

Now. unless. as has been said. human nature
somehow is changed by the opening Of our mints
to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. the
average citizen. accustomed to pay, for instance,
50 - for a sack Of -four, is going TO kick mighty
hard if he suddenly finds that he has 10 pay So %
or anything like it for the same amount of the
same flour The rich won't mind paying bigger
grocery bills so much: they can stand II. But the
millions who work for wages, discovering the
prices Of everything steadily advancing except
the price of their own work, will wonder where
the inestmable benefits Of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at 16 to I are going to come in
for them. One way Of avoiding bigger grocery
bills of course. is TO cat less. But that doesn't
appeal to great many people who have all they
can do even now TO keep large families from
starving.
