MENTION WAS made 10 yesterdays
local columns OF the Gazette that part
of the fire department bad been called
out to exlinguish fire on the city's
dump pile, caused by an accidental or
intentional igniting OF the cart loads of
waste paper, old boxes and trash which
are now becoming az dangerous on the
dump as they are unsightly on the
streets. Time and again has attention
been called to this habit OF throwing
old boxes, papers, ETC., on the streets
and In the alleys OF the city and cor
respondent have expatiated upon the
untidy appearance Of the streets oy
reason OF this liberty. Large cities, Dy
ordinances. prevent this abuse OF q
oity's streets and while not being able
10 entirely eradicate the evil, yet no
trouble has been experienced upon the
part OF the police force In such cities,
with their thousands of tenement
houses and hotels, to minimize II. Ger
tsinIy In a small city like Alexandria
the matter Of getting rid OF old paper
boxes, trash, etc., Is Of easy solution.
Thousands Of dollars now expended 10
carting paper could be used In keeping
the streets and alleys clean, and every
housekeeper should be made to under
stand that he or she must contribute
their energy In bringing about this
desideratum. As no member of council
has as yet made himself the patron OF
80 commendable q measure, perhaps
the mayor can send short message to
council 10 bis entertaining style upon

1T Is not likely that the reciprocity

ton will influence single vote in the

the Kasson treaties The delegates are
divided into opposing camps according
to what they conceive to be their per-
sonal interests. II they succeed 10
brio aing themselves to the point OF
making some formal declaration on the
Issue of reciprocity, 1t will doubtless be
as vague and evasive as the average
political platform. II will still remain
for the Senate to.spprove or defeat the
specific reciprocity treaties negotiated
under the direction OF President Nc
Kinley. That responsibility cannot be
shirked, though 1t test the good faith OF
Senators who give outward allegiance
to the Mckinley doctrine. The reci-
procity convention will break the Toe of
protective greed, however. The time
has gone by for the worship OF fetch
that has done more to demoralize the
people OF the United Stetes than any
other policy of government ever sdven'
tured upon. At last the protectionists
themselves have discovered the defects
and limitations OF the scheme which
seeks to build up certain favored inter-
ests at the expense of other interests.
