NO SOFT JOB.

THOSE who have any contem-
plation of seeking public Office in
St. Johns next April will find
when elected that they have no
sinecure. Theirs will not be bed
of roses or a path strewn with
lilacs. There will be conditions
not theories-confronting them be-
cause the treasury will not be bulg-
ing out with surplus coin.
The present council has had a
hard path through which to
struggle-and there seems to be a
desire upon the part of the present
body to leave its successor a basket
of roses whose thorns protrude
through every opening.
The low levy made on Tuesday
evening is an excellent thing-both
for the city itself and those interes-
ted in it. yet it must be understood
by those outside OF St. Johns two
thirds or more of the amount to be
received has already been expended
upon public utilities and salaries.
The city started business handi-
capped: there was no income for
the first ycar-and there were, un-
fortunately, a few bits of indebted
ness. Some of this was incurred
by the previous council-and some
by the present body. but it all had
to be paid.
II the income of the city shall be
but the FIVE mills levied then this
coming fiscal year will be one in
which much economy must be used
and great patience shown by cred
itors. Another year will show a
smaller levy with plenty Of money
for every necessary Improvement.
The next assessment will show
values coming close to the two mil
lion mark-if not passing IL. Sev-
cral industries are waiting com
mcnccmcnt til after the assessor
has made his rounds in order to
avoid listing-but the assessment
will show vast increase in all
lines.

"tiamlst" Minus the Ghost.

An Italian actor, Signor Fuma-
galli, has been creating a mild SEN
sation in Rome by playing Shake
speare's "Hamlet" with the total
suppression Of the ghost. The new
departure has been the subject of Sc
we're structures in the press, and Do
menleo Olivia, a shakespearean
scholar, has taken signor Fumagalli
vigorously TO task. "Let US remem-
ber," he says, that Shakespeare
himself assumed the part of the

theater." "Hamlet" without the

A CLEVER SCHEME.
Northern Pacific Lays Grade To
Which o. K. and N.
Must Come.

By a nice bit of over-work on
Sunday and Christmas the North
ern Pacific won a point over Its
adversary. Both roads are anxious
to get to ST. Johns but the the sur
veys cross each other five times be.
tween the Vancouver bridge and
this city. The road first securing
its grade can force all other cross
ing roads to come to its grade: and
the O. K. & n. was slow in its
work.
There have been, it is true, a
number of purchases of property OF
the Heights, said to be in favor OF
the Northern Pacific road. Among
them are properties of Messrs.
Moe, Harris, Marcy and Mcleod
for which more than $1,000 have
been paid. AT the same time this
does not preclude the possibility OF
the skirt road around the city.
Whatever may be the outcome
and whatever may be the route
chosen-it is evident that the o. X.
& n. was nicely played by strategy.
Until the matter is adjudicated by
the court it is probable no farther
steps will be taken at that point
work, however, will progress all
along the line with as much rapidity
as possible.

HOW THE SHAH SLEEPS.

The shah of Persia never, under
any circumstances, sleeps on bed
stead. and no matter where he has
STAYED. whether it be in royal pal
aces or hotels, he has either had the
bedstead removed from his sleeping
apartment or else has relegated it to
some remote corner, 80 as to enable
him to sleep in the exact center OF
the room on a couple Of huge cush-
ions or soft oriental mattresses
stretched upon the floor. And Just
behind the cushion upon which his
head rests there is always a small
table, upon which are five portraits.
The center one is of himself. 1t is
flanked on either side by those of
King Edward and Queen Alexandra,
while beyond them on either side are
the pictures of the emperor and en-
press of Russia. These portraits ac-
company him everywhere and may
be said to watch over his slumbers
in his own dominions as well as
abroad.

Bidd ng On Its Own Work.

To become an active bidder for
work to which il has invited COM
petition, is a decided novelty in
the domain of contracting, yet this
is being done by the municipality
of Toronto, Ontario. Not tina,
only, but, from all reports, il has
worked admirably, resulting in
lower prices and first class work
When sewer and paving work is to
be let the city engineer makes a
bid, in exactly the same way as
other competitors. II any respon-
sible contractor bids under the
engineer, he secures the contract,
but II the engineer $ bid proves to
be the lowest, and he cannot in
duce some contractor to take the
job of his hands at the same
figure, the city proceeds to do the
work with day labor.
During the past year forty-three
concrete sidewalks, seventeen paw
ing contracts, one grading contract,
and twelve sewer contracts were
executed in this way with a ne,
saving To the city.
This mode OF procedure might
well attract the careful consider
alton OF other municipalities. The
weak point of the plan seems to
rest in the circumstance that cor
rupt city engineer might. through
collusion with contractors. indulge
in graft methods, but this would
not be possible in a large city
where many contractors were bid
ding. Using proper judgment and
always allowing a reasonable and
fair margin OF profit on his bids,
the engineer could so place them as
10 do away with excessive prices.
But, though the city so placed its
bids as 10 secure but little work on
It's own account, its action would
have a pronounced effect upon the
character of the work done by
those who secure contracts, since
that done by the by the city would
serve as model that must be
followed. The plan OF city
doing It's own work by hired labor
has not proved very satisfactory
where tried, but this modification
might well be expected to work
well.
