Snow and ice in the streets, and IN
that most inexcusable of places, IN
front of an occupied house or store
days after a storm has occurred, marks
the difference between a minor city and
one of Importance. Do the people OF
Worcester realize that rubbers and
overshoes are not necessary concomi-
tants Of Professionalism the whole Win
ter through in cities no more favorably
situated than ours? Why should the
sidewalks of Boston, for instance, be
almost as dry and clean within forty
eight hours after a blizzard as on a
summers day, and those of Worcester
be caked with ice practically from De

Apropos of the probable appointment
of Joseph H. Choate to the court of St.
James, Henry Norman, in his Sunday S
London letter, is led to remark that the
British public will accord Mr.. Choate a
most cordial reception, and deem him
worthy successor of James Russell
Lowell and Mr.. Hay. The new ambas-
sador, if it is Mr.. Choate, says Mr..
Norman will be fortunate in having
at the outset of his diplomatic career

portunity will be presented by the ar
rival of the Atlantic feet at Ports
mouth, in June, which will be the occa-

ton of the splendid part played by the
American fleet during the war, in par

is that the reform was not put in oper-
alton years ago.

There is not a vast amount of appar-
ent value in having commissioners To
consider the grade crossing matter
when all they do is to hear all sides
look wise, junket about the state, ana
then, at the end of the year, solemnly
pass the whole subject along to their
successors in trust. There is an early
time limit for the introduction of meas
ures in the legislature. Is the pres
ent commission going to doze until it
is too late to get anything before the
general court this year?
