Operate the Horse Car Lines.

Work ought to be begun al once to clear
the tracks of the local street railroads
which are still operated by horse power
These roads are the first to succumb to
storm conditions and the last TO recover

soiutely abandoned by their owners, to the
immeasurabIe discomfort of many thou
sands of people, living at varying distances

Inconvenience caused by the incorporation

fence in the form of cleaned sidewalks
Three or four days on which active work
of the tracks have been allowed to pass
without any effort whatever to this end,
and the week closes with the companies
waiting for the thaw to relieve them of the
burden OF cleaning off their routes. This
may be good policy from the point of view
of the corporation which finds only a deficit

From the New York Herald
If there is any one government institution
which more than all others should be
placed under the civil service rules it is
the Congressional Library. The people
have spent a vast sum in the erection Of
the palace III which the nations literary
accommodations are now safely housed. To
preserve, classify and arrange a vast num-
Ter of books so to make them readily
available for reference demands such
knowledge and training that the librarian 5
is recognized a distinct profession.
1t is not enough TO have a competent man
at the head of this great institution; he
must have a corps of trained and expert
enced assistants, and in order to secure
these the library should be placed entirely
out of reach of all that is implied in the
word patronage" used in political
circles. The librarian should be relieved
from the opportunities of Congressman and
officials bent Upon securing salaries for
their friends at the government expense,
and left free to attend TO his important
duties. By placing the library under the
trious employees would be secured. These,
missal except for cause, would be diligent
in the discharge of their duties, and their
efficiency would increase with heightened
service and experience.
TIE very word library suggests some
thing quite above and beyond the turmoil
and pull of partisan politics. Let us
sweep the place hunter out of the nations
great library, bring it under the civil SER
vice rules and we shall in time have an
Institution that in efficiency will stand
without a rival in the world.

ing with the same problem since its BIRTH

dian conspiracy to resist cession of New
France TO Great Britain, was the first
Aguinaldo. Then came the Iroauois rebels
after the revolution, the Creek rebels after
the Jay treaty, Tecumseh with his wide
conspiTacies In 1872, the Seminoles in Flor

western tribes from Geronimo to Sitting
