ALI, is WELL.

The action of the city council last
night, in unanimously passing the in
terurban ordinances, is one of a
series OF great acts by Cairo's city
council during the last TWO years,
which have been in line with and have
given effect to, the popular ambition
for a Greater Cairo The street
improvements 10 cost three quarters
Of million of dollars will go far TO
give expression 70 this ambition;
but the act OF last night may be con
sidered as the climax. for It will be
more far reaching in its effect for
the good OF the city than any that
has passed the city council in half q
century.
The councils action was the
happy elimination of efforts by citi-
zens extending over two years, with
val wing prospects OF success. and
now that il Is over. all who had any
correction with the project and
whose sole purpose was TO procure
for Cairo the building OF an interur
ban road. have cause TO feel well
satisfied.
The people of Cairo, as whole
may rejoice in the prospect OF great
benefits to be derived from the ordi
nances: the reconstruction, in N
up-tc-date manner of the city's ligh,
Ing and power systems tboth gas ans

aud the prosperity that will come tC

sPoILs SYSTEM

President Urges That Census Employees
Be Required to Pass Examina ton.
WASHINGTON. D. c., January g.
In message to the House to-day
President Roosevelt urged that in pre-
pairing for the work Of taking the next
census the 1000 or more additional en-
ployes needed be appointed only after
examinations. under the
rules OF the Civil Service Commission,
and strongly denounced the patronage
system Of making the appointments,
saying that the Civil Service Commits
sion was fully capable Of securing a
most efficient force. The non.compet-
tive examinations used in selecting the
force at Washington of the last two
censuses, the President said. served
only .as a cloak to hide the naked
ness of the spoils system"
Such examinations, he declared. were
useless as checks upon patronage APP
pointments. "They prevent" he said,
the most incompetent form being APP
pointed. but they do not secure the
appointment of the most competent,
appointments" The President said 1t
is idle to say that such examinations
are fair, for the unfairness and favor
itism come in in the choosing of the
men who shall be allowed to try Them
Below Average Ability.
The President declared that the great
majority OF the clerical employees OF
the last two censuses were far below
the average ability. andsthat statistics
show that only about so per cent. OF
the applicants who were employed in
the last two censuscs were able to
pass the competitive organizations un-
der the civil service rules.
u The faint of the spoils system" he
said. "will not merely hamper and de-
lay the economical and efficient taking
of the census. but will impair the be-
lief of the public in It's honesty
Another message from sthe President
was read in. the House, urging partic-
ipation by tho government In the First
Pan-American Scientific Congress. to
be held IN Santiago. Chilli, the first ten
days of December. 1905. To provide for
n fitting representation the President
urges a timely appropriation. The con-
igress. he said. could not fail to be
OF great interest and Importance to the
governments and people of all the
American republics.
