A WORD ABOUT BRICK PAVEMENT.

In the current number OF the Munich
pal Journal and Engineer there is an
interesting article on Brick as a Per-
E. Gum. a civil engineer. Mr.. Gum
is an advocate of brick pavement. es-
pecially for medium-sized cities. In
such cities. he says, brick streets, for
economy and general utility. are bet
ter adapted than any other material.
Such cities are not, as a rule, extreme
Iy wealthy. and do not have the most
severe travel to provide for"
The advantages claimed for the brick
pavement are that it is clean. cheap
and durable In cities where it is
necessary to make a base for it the
cost is perhaps about that of asphalt,
but the cost of keeping it in repair IS
much less than that of asphalt. OF
course in a city like this, where it isn't
necessary to have a concrete founda-
ton. the cost of a brick pavement is
much less than that of asphalt.
Mr.. Gum makes the statement that
livery stable owners. teamsters, and
all persons interested in the constant
use of streets for hauling, prefer brick
streets to asphalt.
It is a safe statement that the au-
thorities in this city have not made a
mistake in using brick to such large
extent as a material for paving the
streets. OF course care has to be
taken to get brick that will stand wear,
and the pavement ought not to be dis
turbed oftener than is absolutely nee
cssary. The belief that it can be taken
up in spots for the purpose of repair
ing pipes of one kind or another, or
for any other purpose, and put back
without injury 10 ii, is erroneous. II
is difficult even for an expert to take
up a section of brick pavement and
replace the bricks leaving the pave
ment as good as it was before being
disturbed. 1t often happens that work.
men employed to repair brick pave
ment are careless or not qualified for
their work. The result is an uneven
| pavement and in little while the sec
tions of the pavement that have been
taken up and put back are in need of
repair. A pavement made of superior
brick, unless frequently taken up in
spots for repairs to underlying pipes.
will outlast pavements of most other
! kinds of material

ANOTHER MOVE IN THE MERGER
MIDDLE.

1t begins TO look as If one OF the re-
suits Of the decision in the Northern
Securities case would be a plentiful
crop of lawsuits. Immediately after
that decision was rendered it was said
the parties interested in the Northern
Securities Company would adjust their
affairs amicably. In a day or two.
however, there were rumors of differ
ences. and then the announcement that
the party led by Mr. Hartman had
begun a suit in st. Paul against the
party led by Mr.. Morgan for the re-
covery of the shares which he and his
friends had deposited with the North
ern Securities Company. 1t seems that
the Morgan party wanted to distribute
the assets of the Northern Securities
Company so that both parties would
continue to be interested in the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
railways The Hartman party, how
ever. originally owned a majority Of
the stock of the Northern Pacific and
it demanded the return of these shares.
According to our dispatches yester-
day, other parties, probably represent
ing the Hartman interest. have begun
an injunction suit in New Jersey to
prevent the Northern Securities Com
pany from distributing the shares of
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railways except as the court
may direct.
The interesting feature of these suits
is the purpose of Mr.. Hartman and
his friends to get control of the
Northern Pacific Railway. With the
control of that road they would have
control of three of the trans-conti-
mental lines. namely. the Northern Pa
cific, the Union Pacific and the South
ern Pacific. on the other hand II the
Hill Morgan party wins. the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern will be
no freer to compete for business than
they were when they were controlled
by the Northern Securities Com
pany Anyway the situation may
be viewed it looks as II competi-
ton between the ans-continental
roads were going to be restrained. and

cosr OF A GARNET POSITION.

The statement IS made IN a Wash
ington dispatch that former Secretary
Of War Root viii not be a candidate
for Governor OF New York, that he has
no intention OF accepting Office again
until ne is worth 100000. and that
his cabinet position cost him upwards
OF $4,000.
II it be a fact that Mr.. Root spent
5000, coo 10 addition to his salary while
be was Secretary Of War, thep only
rich men can afford to hold cabinet
positions, and the Presidents salary is
none too large. 1t may De. however,
that what is meant is that Mr.. Roots
law practice would have Melted him
that amount II ne had remained in
New York and attended to Il.
No doubt it costs a cabinet officer
a great deal more to live in Washing
ton now than it did quarter Of a
century ago. Of course, he could live
on his salary now-on less than his
salary-but he couldn't live in a man
ner credttable to the position he holds.
A cabinet officer is expected to live
in the best neighborhood and in a
house Of considerable pretensions, and
he is criticised If he doesn't do a good
deal Of entertaining. Indeed, the ad-
ministration expects him to uphold its
reputation for hospitality.
The members Of the diplomatic corps
are. as a rule. provided with large in
comes. and. therefore, are prepared to
entertain on an elaborate scale. The
truth is there IS a good deal Of ex-
travagance in official life in Washing
ton. It is hard to say who is respon-
sible for #. II IS due doubtless to the
increase in the number Of large for
tunes in the country. 1t exists, how
ever. and cabinet officers and con-
gressmen as well as other officials feel
The influence of it.
Mr.. Root seemed to like official life.
He made a good cabinet officer and
doubtless would like to have remained
in Washington. But his fortune was
not large and ne knew it would be
impossible to recover his law practice
IL he remained away from New York
much longer.
It is to be regretted that to a stead
lily increasing extent large incomes are
necessary to official life in Washing
ton. because it means that gradual
ly the time is coming when only rich
men can afford to hold the most de-
sirable Offices.

The late Senator Hanna had keen
mind and in contests of wit he was
seldom defeated, says the New York
Sun.
There is a certain Cleveland lawyer
whom Senator Hanna liked to tanta-
lie, though the two men were really
good friends.
At a banquet in Cleveland Mr.. Han
ma nodded toward this lawyer and
said:
Gentlemen, you see Brown there?
Well, l was in Browns office yester-
day when his client in that contested
will case called to square accounts.
The client stood out in the hall and

During his recent visit East, William
Jennings Bryan was the guest of the
students at the Union Theological Sem
mary, New York, says the Kansas City
Star. He went with the boys to their
rooms, and, throwing aside temporarily
all thoughts of bimetallism, INDUCED
in jokes and "reminiscences Of his boy
hood days.
Finally the conversation turned on
athletics and outdoor sports. The boys
expressed surprise at Mr.. Bryan's well
developed muscle.
What kind of exercise do you take?'
asked one.
For the last five or six years my
principal exercise has been running"
he replied.
What kind Of running, Mr.. Bryan"

SCIENCE SCORES AGAIN.
A Preparation That Will Destroy the
Dandruff Germ Discovered.

Finally the scientific student has dis
covered a certain remedy for dandruff.
When it first became known that dan
druff is the result of a germ or para
site that digs into the scalp and saps
the vitality of hair at the root, causing
falling hair ana badness, biologists
set to work to discover some prepare
ton that will kill the germ. After
years labor in one laboratory the dam
druff germ destroyer was discovered;
and il is now embodied in Newbro's
Herpicide. 1t prevents badness, stops
falling hair and speedily eradicates
dandruff. Destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect" Sold by leading

CURRENT COMMENT.

The vicksburg (Miss.) Herald (Dem.)
says: The Herald considers the ques-
ton of the Democratic selection of a
presidential nominee practically settled
with the declaration of the New York
Convention for Judge Parker. And IN
der the prevailing condition of politics
this is best
The Mobile Register (Dem.) says:
Give the candidate the vote of every
state that voted for Bryan in 1900
when Bryan got the largest popular
vote ever cast for a Democratic can
didate, yet the candidate will have to
have New York's vote and thirty
three votes in addition in order to win.
That is a plain fact and Mr.. Bryan's
effort to ignore it but serves to show
how unreliable he is as a public
header"
The Houston Post (Dem.) says: Not
in 1876 or 1850 or 1884 was honesty a
more important issue than at this time
The saturnalia of corruption which dis
tinguished the administrations of Grant
and Hayes was no more revolving 20
the country than the rottenness which
has rendered the present administra-
ton so odious to those who realize
how vital to the safety of the re-
public is an honest and economical
government"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
MFR. Roosevelt's orders with refer
ence to offensive partisanship applies
only to a few Democrats who have
been fortunate enough to hold on I'M
der the civil service rules. Marshals,
postma ster, etc, may run for Con-
gress or any other Office they desire
and raise all the political sand they
can. The Presidents high-sounding
notions of official propriety and de-
cency will go in eclipse at least I'M
til after November next. Gentlemen
holding federal offices hereabouts may
therefore, fire when they're ready with
out fear Of jeopardizing their present

PARKER-S PROSPECTS NOT MUIR

Senator. Bacon takes the night view
OF the effect that Mr. Cleveland's
declaration in favor Of Judge Parker
Will have on the latter's prospects.
There are some Democrats who seem
10 think that the declaration will in
jure the Parker movement, but 1t IS
difficult TO see how it can. The view
THAI Senator Bacon takes is that 1t
viii have a tendency 20 harmOnize the
party. that 1t viii likely be a great
incentive 10 the other wing Of the
party 70 give a cordial support TO
Judge Parker.
Those xh0 would refuse TO support
Judge Parker because Mr. Cleveland
said something in his favor wouldn't
support hfu for the nomination even
IL Mr.. Cleveland had satd nothing in
his behalf No doubt some OF them
viii try TO make IL appear that the
Parker movement Is simply 8 CIeve-
land movement. but they will not
meet with much success
As far as the public knows Nr.
Cleveland hal uGhnz 70 do with
bringing Judge Parker forward as
candidate There is no particular rea-
son for thinking that Mr.. Cleveland
thought Of him as a candidate until
1t became pretty generally understood
that he was likely 20 be the choice
OF New York The chances are that
is he had been asked 20 name a can
didats he wouldn't have named Ju ige
Parker He admits that While he
knows him we'll ne doesn't know him
Intimately. He knows, however. that
he IS AN able, serious-ninded and
admirable man. and very good Dem
ocrat."
NJ. ClaveIaud's declaration will have
the effect Of making those Of his
friends who know but little about
Judge Parker regard with favor the
Parker movement And all OF those
who are unfriendly to Mr.. Cleveland
are not so unreasonable as to regard
with disfavor all Democrats whom he
thinks are good Democrats.
An effort is being made to create
a sentiment against Judge Parker be-
to be managing his campaign, but
those who know Judge Parker have
no hesitation in saying that he isn't
the sort Of a man TO be dominated
by Mr. Hill or anybody else. He does
his own thinking and has a will OF his
own.
The progress Of the Parker move
ment is extremely gratifying II is
being freely predicted that he viii
be the partys nominee. Judging from
the attacks on him that are appear
ing in the Republican papers the Re-
publican leaders think this prediction
is we'll founded And it Is evident
that they are not pleased with the
prospect that he will be the leader
Of the Democratic forces. They have
good reasons for thinking that his
nomination would mean that Mr..
Roosevelt wouldn't carry New York.

Washington stories.

Representative Wade OF Iowa made
a Democratic speech in the House to-
day, says the Washington correspond

wanted TO know why Attorney General
Knox, after successfully prosecuting
one trust, refrained from prosecuting
any more, and announced that he
would not run amuck."

Illegally and for a money consideration,
and sentenced to a term in Jail. some
days ago wrote letter to his friend,
