hours
The discharge Of so many old and
trusted employees is due to the discovery
by the company's detectives of the whole

ton. The three yet TO go will be Dis
charged for the same reason. Ferguson
/. the only one who was not let out for
that cause. He was discharged on ac-
count of the Lang wreck.
It seems that Sievert had a regular
gang Of men that he carried around.
He had it 50 arranged that the gang
could ride with almost any conductor, no
matter whether Sievert was on the train
or not. Just what compensation was
psid. if any, the management has not
been able TO ascertain. However, the
officials believe that the discharged con-
ductors carried the gang out of friend
ship to Sievert. ana that if any money
was paid Sievert got Il. Sievert did not
tell what his gang of extensive travellers
did for a livelihood, but the officials have
learned that they were travelling sales

gcientious and Honest, They Have
No Police Boss Boosters Who Are
After Continuance of Their dob.
Only
The Republican party in casting about
for men 10 iii county, state and ma
tional offices does not forget the fact
that men who have been loyal in their
service TO the country when instant
daath or manned existence was the
probable result, cannot fail TO be loyal
in the performance Of civil duties in sit
nations minor to that of sustaining in
battle and long march the flag.
The Republican county convention
has named for register of deeds and for
county surveyor two Old soldiers, who
are also old time citizens Of Sedgwick
county-Captain c. B. Thatcher and a.
j. Weaver. Qualified for the positions
they seek, they have record of loyal
service in the army Of the republic and
in the Republican party, which two in
stitutions are in the largest measure
responsible for national supremacy and
republican liberty.
Conscientious, painstaking men, these
two viii bring 70 their work as county
officers an intense interest in the best
good OF the county and its people, with
whom they have been identified for
years.
They were not nominated by police
commissioners with the police force,
which police commissioners have the
party machinery 20 run over the OLE
workers OF the party and push through
a given slate for a given purpose. which
purpose is solely TO continue themselves
in office.
No police commissioners to bring the
governor Of the state, whose tools said
commissioners are, TO boost the ticket
and try by personal effort 10 bring into
line the men who are simply tired of the
brass monkey, business Of the commits
sioners, or rather two of them.
Leedy appointed three commissioners,
but because he got man on who in
sisted that the business Of the board be
conducted according tolaw, two of them
set about Immediately to squelch him.
And along with trying 10 squelsh Fur
nish, Jocelyn and Spencer climbed upon
the old workers in the party with both
fest and gave them the worst of it at
every turn, until lately they have set
out on a patch up policy 10 get a better
hold, afser which the kick will come
harder and with more malice, if Joce-
lyn and Spencer are endorsed.
NOmiO2 ted nv fba deIePataS of the
people, Captain Thatcher and A. J.

record, be endorsed by the people.

STREET CLEANING BY LABOR.

Advantages Over Contract Method
Demonstrated by Experiment.
From the April Review Of Reviews.
The two cleanest cities the continent
today are Toronto and New York. and
they are both cleaned by direct labor.
New York not only employs and thus
directs all it's street cleaning and garbage
dispatch forces, but 1t has an organized
department.. with an adequate and prop
erly adjusted equipment of horses, carts,
brooms, stables and stations, and 1t pays
its men 81 a day and upward for eight
hours work. To be sure. 1t has had a Col.
Waring, but had Col. Waring been a con-
tractor or a contractors superintendent
the metropolis would not have been the
clean city 1t Is today. 1t is by the method
Of direct labor, under model conditions Of
employment, that this first worthy result
of the kind in a large American city has
been achieved.
Toronto, the other of these two exem-
plary cities, has gone even further than
New York in eliminating the contractor.
In this enterprisng Canadian town, with
its 10000 people, Street Commissioner
Jones has, during the last seven years, en-
tirely revolutionized the care of the streets
of the city. He has not only organized
the execution of this work under a dis
tinct department, but out of the margin
thus saved from the annual appropriations
for caring for the streets he has actually
built and equipped a modest but complete
set of workshops, where the entire con-
struction and repair work of the depart
ment is executed. Not only are the
sprinklers, rotary sweepers, automatic
loading carts and snow scrapers. each
after a special pattern devised by the COM
missioner or under his direction, built in
these shops, but even the harnesses are
made there, the horses are shod there.
and it is the truthful boast of the COM
missioner that every article OF manufac-
ture used by the department is produced
from the raw material in these shops. 1t
is exceedingly refreshing to find there in
ventive genius constantly brought to bear
to produce appliances. not for sale In the
general market, and hence of that crude
adjustment which can be used anywhere,
but appliances precisely adapted to the
particular needs of Toronto, with its own
climate, soil, street mileage and pavements.
BY maintaining thus its own shops and
construction staff, as other large business
enterprises do, the street cleaning depart
ment has produced an equipment such
that the commissioner, in some kinds of
work. claims now to be accomplishing with
four teams and four men what formerly
required nine teams and seventeen men. A
considerable element Of this saving of labor
has been due to the automatic loading
machines, invented in these shops, which
elevate the windrows of litter directly
from the street into a dump cart as rapid
ly as horses can walk.

Judging from a few inquiries. there viii
be a great many American bicycle tourists

who intends to cross the ocean seems de-

experience Of those who did so last year
indicates that the bicycle IL not an incon-

that it is a source of endless pleasure and
advantage as a means Of getting about on
