rather have house built of this ma

account of the dryness of the walls,
as this material will not absorb the

we expect to see many buildings in

5UP TO EACH CITIZEN.

A number of our citizens are COM
planning about the condition of many
of the streets in the borough and
have. asked the NEWS correspondent
to. cah the attention of the street
Commissioner, through the paper, to
tlfeS matter This we are perfectly
willing to do and some times to do a
little fault-fnding, but under the ex-
listing conditions of the weather for
the last few weeks we cannot possibly
see how matters could be remedied
unless each householder each morh-
ing would clean out the gutter as far
as his property extends. For the
commissioner to undertake this job
as he did on First street, what he
cleared up through the day filled up
and froze the following night. Jimmy
may be wrong sometimes, but he has
done the best he could under existing

THE BREAKING OUT OF THE WAR

Scores of writer's and historians
have described the stirring times of
the outbreak of the Civil War, but it
but it is doubtful If any one ever
drew as comprehensive a picture Of
the events as does Carl Schurz in his
"Reminiscences, in the March Nc
Clure's. Beginning with the happen
ings that followed the election of
1860, the patriotic Schurz arraigns
President Buchanan's attitude and
"the epidemic of compromise that
infected the whole country. The por-
tentous first Inauguration of Lincoln
dis pictured with the hand of mas
ter; and the attack on Sumter and
the inception of the conflict are so
described that the Great Tragedy un-
folds before us as on q stage. Even
the comedy fails of tragedy are pres
ent, for Schurz's droll wit relieves
the somber scenes with humorous
pictures and episodes
In this number the author tells
also of his receiving the appointment
of Minister to Spain and how in the
midst of raising a regiment of cav
airy in New York City he was ordered
to depart on his mission to Madrid.
The instalment closes with Schurz
afloat on his way to Spain.

pondent at Madison.

MadisOn.-There was a caucus of
over one.half of the Republican ma
jority of the assembly. The caucus
was attended by Speaker Ekern and
many Of the more prominent lead,
ers of the assembly, and at first
it was understood that it was
called to take action on the senatorial
situation. Speaker Ekern was elect
ed chairman and Assemblyman lie
Roy secretary, and the business OF
the session was talked over. By many
It was UNDERSTOOD that the senatorial
election would so interfere with the
legislative routine that it was deemed
expedient to adopt some sort of a pro-
gram to expedite legislation.
Among matters discussed was the
legislation pertaining to the public
utility bills, the inheritance tax leg
islation and the insurance laws pro-
posed. There was no definite action
taken but the project of advancing all
important legislation without unneces
sary delay was acted upon in order to
keep the session fl m being prolonged
into June.
