STREET CAR VESTIBULE LEGIS-
LATION.

It is proposed to pass a law COM
polling street car companies TO vesti-
bule their cars so that motormen will
be thoroughly protected from the
weather. Is such legislation wise or
are there any circumstances justifying
it? 1t is not denied that in very severe
or stormy weather the motorman has
somewhat of a rough time But who
that is working outdoors in severe or
stormy weather but has a rough time?
1t is perfectly safe to assert that in
all the history of street car railroading
no man ever enquired whether or not
the cars were provided with vestibules
before applying for the position; or
learning there was not, ever threw up
the place in consequence. The motor
men dress themselves for the weather
and protect themselves very thorough
ly. A teamster would never think of
having a vestibule put on a wagon to
protect him from the inclemency of
the weather; yet no one is exposed
more than he.
1t would be easily possible for such
legislation to be enacted compelling
street car companies to do this or that,
and all supported by specious pleas. so
that they could not possibly operate
their lines because of the immense ex-

Some of the presidents when inaugur-
ated have selected a passage of scrip
ture to kiss when the inaugural oath
is taken. Mr.. w. E. Curtis, writing to
the Chicago Record, says that the pas
sage OF scripture selected for Mr.. Nc
Kinley TO kiss when he took the in
augural oath was unusually appro
pirate. 1t reads:
Give me new wisdom and knowledge
that 1 may go out and come in before
this people; for who can judge this,
Thy people, that is so great
President Mckinley not only selected
this passage from the holy scriptures
because of its remarkable appropriate
ness, but, in his inaugural address,
twice, at the beginning and the ending,
he acknowledged divine sovereignty
and invoked the guidance of omnipo-
tent power.
The verse that General Grant kissed
was equally appropriate, and was found
in the 18th chapter of Isaiah, as fol-
lows:
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest
upon him; the spirit of wisdom and
understanding; the spirit of counsel
and might; the spirit of knowledge,
and the fear of the Lord.
And shall make him of quick I'M
derstanding in the fear of the Lord;
and he shall not judge after the sight
of his eyes, nor reprove after the hear
ing of his ears
The verse that President Hayes
kissed was accidental. and read:
His enemies encompassed him like
bees, but he would not destroy them"
President Arthur and President
Cleveland did not select verses, so far
as known. Mr.. Cleveland took the oath
at both inaugurations upon a little red
bible which was given him by his
mother when he was a boy.
From this it is to be inferred that
President Arthur and President Cleve-
land, like the candidate for parliament,
described in Pickwick, kissed them
ALL" Those who select special verses
may do so in remembrance of early
youth when they did the same thing |
for the purpose of finding out whom |
they were to marry.

A CLEVELAND PAPER ON CLEVE-
LAND.

The Boston Herald, always a staunch
supporter of Mr.. Cleveland and one
of the most courageous gold standard
papers in the country, does not approve
of his signing the bill for an interna-
tlonal monetary conference. 1t says
he could have killed the measure with
pocket veto, and that a good many
gold standard Democrats expected him
to, but he put his name to it, and it
thinks that thereby he has assumed a
large share of legislative responsibility
The Herald thinks this action on the
conference question looks strangely in
consistent with his inaction in the
matter during the past four years, and
proceeds as follows:
When Mr.. Cleveland returned to the
executive chair he found an interna-
tional monetary conference ready to his
hand. The Brussels conference had
adjourned to meet again OH May 80,
1898, if a continuance of it's labors
seemed desirable to the governments
represented. As the conference had
originally been called by the United
States, its reassem bling was practically
left open to be determined at Wash
ington. Thus it can fairly be said that
for four years Mr.. Cleveland has had
monetary conference awaiting his
call. Congress also opened another OPP
portunitv Cor him in the same line.
Yet during the whole period he has
made no sign. The natural inference
from his failure to act has been that,
in his opinion, there was nothing to be
gained by making another attempt to
obtain an international agreement for
a common ratio of coinage between
silver and gold. Yet now Mr.. Cleve-
land signs a bill which runs directly
counter TO this idea. 1t would really
seem that he has preferred presidential
courtesy to financial consistency.
Had Mr.. Cleveland really had any
interest in the silver question, other
than that of undying hostility to sill
yer, he could at any time have called
the Brussels conference together. Such
a call might have been a very useless
proceeding so far as securing any
practical results was concerned, but
a reconvening of that conference would
undoubtedly have done quite as much
by way of restoring silver as a money
metal as any conference that may be
called under the bill approved by Mr..
Cleveland. we fancy ne signed THIS
bill with the thought in his mind that
he would leave TO his successor full
opportunity to wrestle with the great
problem his administration wrestled
with but failed to solve, and that there
was accompanying this thought the
conviction his successor would never
solve it. We do not think that he pre-
ferred presidential courtesy to financial |
so much as he cared to
follow his own bent at the moment.
He was never a stickler for delicate |
observance of the proprieties, and he |
probably cared no more for them or !
financial consistency in this case than |
he does for the undesirable states of |
the west

| pense compliance with the law would
entail. This proposed vestibule legis-
lation is of this very kind 1t would
entail an exceedingly heavy expense on
the street railway companies. If placed
upon the statute books and compliance
with it compelled, the only alternative
street railway companies would have
to protect themselves would be 10 cut
the wages of employees so that they
could meet their added expenses The
street railways both in this city and
Ogden have a very hard struggle for
existence, and this existence doesn't
include any returns on the capital in
vested. To require them to vestibule
their cars would make this struggle
very much harder; in fact it is not at
all impossible that it might compel
them to suspend operations at certain
seasons
Then there is another consideration:
the motornan must have an unob-
structed view of the track ahead of
him, and also to either side of him.
If he does not a very serious accident
might occur at almost any time. For
instance: Sunday there was for few
hours binding snowstorm. Had the
street cars been vestibuled it would
have been nearly if not quite impossi-
BILE for any motornan to have seen out
of them, so thick would the snow have
been on the windows. In such a case
a vestibule would have been a positive
detriment and source of danger
This proposed legislation should never
become a law. 1t would necessitate
heavy increase of expenditures byl
street railway companies, and at a
time when they are no more than max
ing both ends meet, even if they are
doing that 1t fails to take proper
heed of the actual conditions with |
which it attempts to deal Reflection !
cannot fail to show how inopportune
and ill-advised it is.

STORIES OF JACKSON.
Related By His Old Body servan

New York Evening Post: The only per-
son now living who was at the Hermitage
with Andrew Jackson during his last
years is old Uncle Alfred, who was the
body servant of the great Tennesseean-
The old cabin where he was born is still
his residence, but it has been recently re-
chinked and daubed. He owns in his
cabin many of the Jackson relics. The
bed he sleeps on was one of the fine
mahogany pieces bought when the house
was refurnished after the fire in 1885, He
has large china urn which was bought
in New Orleans. 1t is very quaint. and
when asked what it was, he replied, Dat
ar's a water-cooler. Gineral Jackson
bought dat in New Orleans. Don't you
see de name?" pointing to the name of
the maker. Gin raj Jackson was de only
man l cher seed whut looked like de AL
mighty hesef," announces the old slave
to those who linger long enough with
him to bring out "reminiscences. The old
.r-n is 81 years of age, and his mother
was General Jackson's cook. His mind
is stored with interesting anecdotes. and
Re is very vain about the fact that he
actually belonged to Andrew Jackson.

philosopher, says: Sometimes de man

this. Patriotism is not so much mat
ter of show and flags as of heart and
brain. Flags are but symbols, and
those who are ever insisting upon their
display are usually more anxious to
faunt their patriotism than to be gen
uinely patriotic. Prompt payment of
taxes and cheerfully discharging jury

New York City is becoming very
much. Disguised with its bipartisan

really disgrace to the city. Commits
sioner Grant having said he thought
the only solution of the present diff
ficulty in the police board was to leg
islate it out of existence and provide
for the appointment of new commits
sioners who would work in harmony
until the Inauguration of the mayor of
Greater New York, the New York
Times, commenting on this remark,
says: 1T seems to us that there is a
simpler and better solution than that
In 1895 the legislature passed a brief
act of ten lines, giving the mayor of
the city of New York power to re
move from office any public officer
now or hereafter holding office by APP
pointment from the mayor of said city,
except judicial officers, for whose re-
moval other provision is made by the
constitution, but it limited the exer-
else of this power to any time within
six months after the commencement
of his term of Office. Now, let the
legislature substitute lOI l1llS Hllle act
of Feb. II, 1895, one containing sub
stantially the same provision without
the limitation of time, simply giving
the mayor the power of removal,
which he ought always to nave. That
would lead to an almost instant solu-
ton of the difficulty in the police
board We feel sure that Mayor
Strong, after the experience of the
last two years, would not fail to bring
the commissioners into an attitude
toward each other and toward their
duty under the law where they would
work in unison, without any reference |
to the Inauguration of the mayor of |
Greater New York. The four-headed |
system is troublesome one at best,
but honest men with common pur-
pose can manage to work in unison
and there is no reason why there |
should be more than one purpose in |
the management of the police depart |
ment of this city,
When there is a Gordian knot, the
best way to deal with it is to cut it.
Bipartisan police boards are usually
Gordian knots.
