German street railways.

An instance OF the minuteness Of the
German municipal regulations IN re
gard To street railways is shown by a
recent ruling Of the police department
that It Is dangerous for conductor 10
pass along the steps OF open horse cars
which have transverse seats. The
railway company has therefore been
obliged to cut q passage through the
seats aud end partitions OF some cars
that II has been operating. As the
width OF the ears In Germany Is re
stricted TO two meters % feet %. lnchesl
outside. this ruling reduces the carry
Ing capacity % per cent. so that a six
bench ear will seat but eighteen peo-
pie. Standing inside is prohibited
on all German roads. but limited
number may stand on the platforms:
this limit, however which is plainly
posted. Is strictly enforced.--Boston

gress is the servant of the people. That
they will be retained under the benign
sovereignty of the United States do
not permit myself to doubt. That they
will prove a rich and invaluable heri-
tage / feel assured. That congress will
provide for them d government which
will bring them blessings, which will
promote their material interest AZ well
as advance their people in the path OF
civilization and intelligence, Iconfident-
ly believe. They will not be governed
as vassals or serfs or slaves-they will
be given a government of liberty, regu-

without oppressive exactions, taxation
without tyranny, justice without bride,
education without distinction of social
condition, freedom of religious worship
and protection in life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. President Nc

Mondovi Herald: AS we understand
it the Philippine islands are as much the
property of the United States as Alaska
or Porto Rico. The president can do
nothing else than maintain the authority
of the nation in these islands. He can
not turn them over to the natives or any
other nation. This is the work of CON
gress. The terms of peace as agreed to
by Spain and u government coded the
islands to the United States and until
congress makes some disposition of them
our authority there is supreme, or will
be when the blarted insurrection is put
down, which under the present vigorous
policy will, we hope, soon be accom-
plished.
