OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
A Righteous Kick.

To the Editor of The Journal. ..-.
Before the state fair opens I wish to
draw the attention of the city council
and the public to an unjust discrimination
made by the street, railway company
against citizens who live on the Harriet
end OF" the Como Harriet car line. The
company, by taking cars from the serv-
ice on the other lines, establishes a short
line service between the fair grounds and
Washington avenue Minneapolis, giving
transfers at Washington to the other
lines lin the city, excepting the Harriet
line. The theory of the company is,
that passengers, at the fair, desiring to
go out on the Harriet line must take. the
Como Harriet line at the fair grounds.
Such a rule is accompanied by hardship.
The Como7Harriet line, during fair week,
is packed when it leaves St. Paul: for
Minneapolis. and is7 still in that condition
when it reaches the fair grounds, SO that
it is impossible for additional passengers
to- get ION board for minneapolis. + The
reasonable. and fair course for, the COM
pany to- follow, is to carry passengers to
Minneapolis; 7. irrespeetiveso destination,
and transfer them. att Washington avenue
to any line I'm the sicity over which it. Is
necessary to travel to reach their destina-
tion. "A car on which I was a passenger
to-IIarriet, during the fair last year, had
"a We'll known business man offltfis city
who lives at Lake Calhoun, On board who
was at the fair and Ion his way home took
a transfer at washington avenue and
boarded; the first Harriet car, when the
conductor reached hin. collecting fares he
refused. his transfer saying he Should
haYe taken the Como Harriet car. at the
fair grounds Thisaa gentleman was in
dfgnarlt and left the car, to either walk
home or take the next car and pay an
additional fare. On the same car there
were two ladies whose transfers were re-
fused under similar circumstances and
who were obliged to pay another fare or
leave the car. To try to collect addition
al fares under such circumstances seems
very small business. The special short
line service between the fair grounds and
Washington avenue is made possible by
the long suffering and patience of the
patrons of Athe various lines. from which
the cars are taken, thereby lessening the
frequency Of the! service; for about hall
of the cars on the Harriet end Of the
Como Harriet line are taken Off for the
special service. What the company in
tends to do this year am not advised
but in the meantime refer, this matter
to the city; council and especially to the
| aldermen from the eighth and thirteenth
wards which are affected by this discrim.

With Cribbins pitching once more ID his old

clinching yesterdays game with the cowboys.
Young Gibson pitched good ball in the first three
innings, although errors by his teammates let
in two runs In the fourth, however, the young
tWirler went clear to the bad. and after he
had hit one batter and passed three Others,
Dale Gear went in to, stop the slaughter.
Gear pitched good ball for one inning. but
{Wilmot opened the sixth with triple and Perry
Werden smashed one to right for half the cir
cult. Again In the seventh, with Lally on first,
1eager swatted one for two sacks, and Wilmot
banged the sphere to left and made three sacks
on the hit by hard sprinting. That completed the
millers' total Of eight tallies. s@a1E :.
Meanwhile Newlin, who started the game for
the millers, found his still too sore to get
them over the plate, and Cribbins was called
on Cribbins twirled in fine form, issuing but
one pass and keeping the hits we'll scattered,
save In the eighth. Three singles and pass
gave the visitors three runs in this round, but
Elmer Smith failed to live up to his reputation

Question: and Answer.

TO the Editor of The Journal. :.
Will you kindly answer through the
columns of h e J ourna al the following
query? - Il
Under what construction of the civil
service laws is itspossib1e for prospective
congressman from the fifth Minnesota dis
| trict, for instance, to- promise to two or
more parties in the district, that In the
event of his election he will promise them
appointments to lucrative positions in the
civil service? ). \. &. IT. -. -.
I am a. voter in that congressional dis
trict and a warm supporter of our civil
service regulations, but was under the inn
preston that appointments in the service
were made solely on merit as determined
by examina tions held. for the purpose and
| that senatorial or congressional influence
| even though the congressman had served
his district several terms was impossible
and valueless. .s 4.s Z Il -.
If / am correct the parties above re-
ferred to and any, others who may be
lhustling in the district for votes, under
similar promises, should be given to un-
derstand that;.their time spent in the field
could better be spent fitting themselves
for the next civil service examination,

answer to the query. ss

tenure and appointment for merit includes
