Cost of street Sweeping.

In his report he says: L submit that
the cost will be less if the cleaning be done
exclusively by direction of the Commits
sioners than it is or has been by the other
IaetEod, and experience and observation
prove that more satisfactory results may
be expected by municipal supervision di-
rect
- 1t is also true, in addition to securing
better work. and making allowance for a
larger number of men at an advance in
wages, that the District will save money
annually. Investigation proves that the
contractors profits may be employed to in
crease the force at higher wages and still
keep well within the estimated appropria-
tiOn.
"A principal advantage of the proposed
Pan over contract work is that the en-
ployes will be under direct control of the
District government, so that when any Sec
tiOn snail require special attention any de-
sired portion CT all of the force may be at
once transferred to the work with no con-
tractor 10 consult. no liability to infringe
upon anothers rights, and avoiding conten-
ticn a. TO compensation for extra work
a" Another point in favor of municipaI
control is that bur one set OF employees will
be Under supervision, with no clauses of
contract to interpret in cases where the
work may be slghted. the work of super
vision can be brought within smaller COM
pass and inferior work reduced to the min
imum, because. largely, of the absence of
motive or interest to do inferior work or to
vholly neglect any part of the area Under
municipal control there will be no conflict
Ing interests. and the principal effort may
then be to insure the best work possible at
the least expense consistent with justice To
the labor employed. If an employe then
neglects the duties assigned to him the
remedy may be applied direct
Now, submit: Cannot these state
ments be as cogently and truthfuiiy urged
against the entire public contract system?

Highwaymen on Wheels.

A wheelman of West 46th Street,
New York, was not long since at
tackled, robbed and left seuseless by
two highwaymen mounted on biCy-
cles in Central Park. Repeated
accounts of robberies by men
mounted upon the swift revolving
wheel have appeared in all the
papers in various parts of the coun-
try. In each instance, so far as
learned, they have evaded the pO-
lice. Those depredatorS of the
health, diseases of the kidneys and
bladder, will likewise in all likeli-
hood escape arrest, and pursue
their atrOciOus career unchecked,
unless they are arrested in the out
set by the potent intervention of
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, the
finest diuretic, as well as tonic,
known to modern times. The gen.
eral preventive named is the best
known medicinal safeguard not on
ly against venal, but also rheuma-
tic and marial disorders. 1t is at
the start that disease is more easi-
lY and completely overcome. The
use of the Bitters is followed by
the happiest results in cases of dys-
pepsia, constipation, liver COM
