Reciprocity.
lRichmOnd Times DISPATCH

An analysis of the vote on the reel
prOcity bill in the House on last Fri
day shows that 1877 Democrats, 81
Republicans ard | Socialist voted
for it, and that 10 Democrats, 7S
Republicans and l Independent vOt-
ed against it. The vote for the bill
was 266; the vote against the bill
wasl89.
In February last when the bill was
voted upon in the House, l43 Dem
ocrats and 70 Republicans voted for
it, and > Democrats and 81 Republi-
cans voted against it. The ma lori
ty for the bill at this session of Con-
gress was 76; the majority for the
bill in the last House was 20. Thirty
five members did not vote on the
proposition Friday; 76 members did
not vote on the bill in the last Con-
gress. The remarkable situation is
presented that a Democratic meas
ure offered by a Republican Admin
istratiOn is almost unanimously OPP
posed by the Republicans and well
nigh unanimously supported by the
Democrats. This is the sort of bi-
party politics that should warm the
cookies of Franklin MacVeagh' s

with popular airs.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the efforts of teachers and pupils
alike in the rendition of the program.

singing by the school was especially
good. The Tableuax, the Rainbow
Motion song and Word Drill were
very effective with the soft calcium

People ought to get out OF the
habit OF throwing trash and old
waste papers out on the streets or
even in back lots 1t is certainly
not a very commendable practice on
the part OF anyone and belongs to
another period OF the worlds his
tory. There is probably nothing
about town that strangers notice
more quickly, and it is by no means
good advertisement for the town
In which it is done. Especially is
this true when the principal streets
are Uttered with trash and old pa
pers of almost every description.
We must all learn to have some town
pride.
In only too many cases when one
hears OF a 'refOrm Or progressive"

will be found that the same move

wards some fat office. The general
knowledge of this fact on the part OF
the voters no doubt keeps a great

Size Settles Question Of Fare.

Curious" said an old railroad con
ductor to New York Sun man, "how
parents memories lapse sometimes
about the age of their children. But
up at Bronx Park, In running the
electric launches that ply from the
boathouse there on the Bronx river,
they have a fare system that avoids
all such mistakes and does away with
any necessity of remembering on the
part of parents whatever On these
boats the fare for adults and children
over four feet in height is ten cents,
for children under four feet in height,
five cents. There's a system that
seems to be simplicity itself, dom
you think? You never have to ask
how old child is, you go by the
child's height, regardless of age, and |
don't know but what that system
might be applied to advantage on
railroads. You could just have a four
foot mark on the tamb of the door
through which passengers passed,
and just back the child up against
that mark. It would take far less
time than the talk now necessary in
arguing about the child's age"
