Is the ordinance passed by the assembly
directing the street railway company
TO change. the cable to an electric line
ana operate the cars on the Selby ave

Illends and active workers for the

liIeiitS mace yesterday, will make an
eIleft 10 have the ordinance passed nv
the assembly amended in the board of
aldermen SO as to attach to tbe ,oeas

are a number of the members of the
ooaro OF aldermen who are favorable
10 any ordinance which will require the
1nterurban, Como avenue and as manv
other lines as possible to be operated
on Fifth or Fourth street. Broadway
and Seventh street The matter has
been fought in the council for the past
sixteen months, and although an ordi-
nance was passed directing the COM
pany to operate the interurban and
Como cars around Broadway, the COM
pany has paid no attention to the
measure.
AT this point of the game the friends
OF the lower town loop see, or think
they see, a chance to make the Broad
way proposition part of the change IN
the cable line, and as the company will
gladly accept the ordinance allowing
them to change from a cable to an
electric, the lower town contingent in
terested in Broadway desire to squeeze
In on the deal. The Broadway loop
proposition was knocked out in the as
semb!y, but the gentlemen interested in
the measure now argue that if it Is
made part of the ordinance and sent
pack to the assembly that body will
nave to accept it, and rather than lose
the chance to change to an electric line.
the street car company will agree to go
via Broadway or any other old way.
Those interested in the Robert street
loop being used, as at present, will nat
urally be present at the meeting this
evening to do what they can to pre-
vent any amendment being made to the
new ordinance and more especially
any amendment which will change the
present loop.

the various branches of the examina-
TONS For all the common clerical
places the questions call for answers
within the range of study of any seoun-
try district school, while the physical
element of health, bodily strength, ca
pacity for work, frequently made
part, give the country boy a distinct
advantage.
Again, it may surprise our contem-
porary to learn that the large majority
of successful applicants never went be-
yond the common schools for education,
and that college-bred boys are not only
infreauent applicants, but when so are
not as successful as those from the COM
mon schools. The college studies are
beyond those on which these examina-
lions are based, except for a few places,
and it is notoriously true that in &C
quiring the classics and higher mathe-
MATES and the other subjects of college
study, the graduate loses familiarity
with the grade studies and is at a
marked disadvantage with the boy
who is fresh from them. We suggest
to our contemporary that it ask of the
secretary of the commission set CT
questions used in past examinations
and put any eighthgrade boy or girl
in Ortonville to the test with them. His
illusions will vanish before the result

SOME MISCONCEPTIONS.

The Big Stone Journal discourses on
presenting some reasons for it which.
we doubt not, it sincerely entertains,
and which, we are equally sure, it would
discard if convinced that they are fall
by those who are "out' and only care
to be ''in," the Journal sees in the sys-
tenn an ''exclusiveness Il that is
not consistent with the spirit of repub-
lican principles" using the word re
publican" in its broad and not it's par
tisan sense, we assume. This is a
strange accusation to bring against
system that opens it's doors to every
one, high or low, rich or poor, Republi-
can. Democrat, Populist or what not,
asking solely that he have sufficient
education and other necessary qualif1-
cations to enable him to discharge the
duties of the place he seeks. How OK
clusiveness can be predicated of that
passes understanding II Is the mt st
serious charge against the spoils sys-
tenn that it is exclusive. From 1861 to
service every man and boy who was
not a Republican, barring GU, naarly
half the population. Was tnat not eX-
elusive? Nor was that all No man or
might have been, could gain access IN
less he had pull" He must have
been either worker" a relative or
friend of one Carried further, the sys-
tenn excluded those who were Gin" by
such means when their ''pantata" was
overthrow by some rival. No system
ever devised was more exclusive than
this.
But the Journal says the present
method is exclusive because the coun-
try-bred boys have no chance in COM
petition with the college bred ones.
Therefore the farmer boy shrinks from
competition with the college-bred boy
in hair-splitting contests, where tech
nical education counts for everything
and common sense for nothing" From
these premises it draws the conclusion
that the merit system brings agricul-
tural pursuits into contempt. If it We're
true that the tests required were such
as to exclude boys who have gained
their education in country schools, if
the contests to which they were invited
were s.hair-splitting'' ones, then the
criticism is well founded. But nothing
could be farther from the truth. The
Journal still harbors a misconception

be some scheme back of the order, so
he told the driver that if the party did
not look all right to either make them
pay in advance CIR drive the team back

the Marlborough the porter came out
ard explained that Mr. Rank had tel
e5honed from the stable to have the
team left outside and for him to re-
