THE NEGLECT OF ALLEYS.

An alley in Lexington has been cleaned up
for the first time in forty years. Sometime in
the past the alley had been paved with stone,
hut the pavement was covered with six inches
of ashes and rubbish that had accumulated in
the long period of neglect
Cities should not build alleys aud forget
them. 1t cost the city of Lexington $4O0 to
clean up this alley, and one wonders how the
= work could have been done at that price, but
it would not have cost anything if Lexington
had been doing her duty by that forgotten
passage way during the four decades in which
it was left to take care of itself. Alleys are
not noted for taking care of themselves and
roper owners frequently are serenelY indif.
rent to to alley conditions. Lawns gener.
ly receive some attention and even the back
ard is "combed and brushed" occasionally
least about the time that visit from the san
AIRY Inspector Is anticipated. Nobody however,
wastes much time in looking after the ap.
pearence of the alley.
There is city out in California which con-
fines heavy street traffic to the alleys and the
plan is not bad one Under such circum-
tances the alleys assume the importance of
reefs and where there is constant and voIum
inOus travel there must be provision for
he maintenance OF the arteries of travel.
he alley, therefore, does not suffer for lack of
pains and city officials cannot, if they would,
rmit it to fade from their memory and de.
lerate into mud hole or muck heap.
B average city could not relegate its traffic
ne alleys because they would be inadequate
liking care Of it. In any state of case the
Of an alley should not last forty years.

THE BEST CITIZEN.

Who is he? He is the man who does his
best. 1t is not goodness merely that makes
real man; it is efficiency added. If you. are
carpenter or blacksmith, or a lawyer or a
farmer. the fact that you don't swear, get
drunk, OF beat your wife, is to your credit, but
it doesn't make you true man. That comes
from what one does and not from what one
doesn't. If a man is to do 10 in certain time,
and only does 5, he is not honest with himself
or society. Fill the nation with such people
as do only half or quarter what they can do
well, and the nation suffers; and then we try
the panacea of political platforms and high
sounding letters of acceptance
The only platform that is worth cent is an
honest, faithful man, and you can drum up all
the policies that a fertile imagination may con-
coct and they will not amount to floating
straw, if the citizenship itself is faithess. 1t
is upon that that the republic rests. In the
August number of the calendar of 81. Joseph's
Cathedral, this city, is an article from which
we take the following paragraph;
can honest person will not waste his time
when he is paid for that time. Those who do
so may be classed with thieves Some who
are scrupulous about taking little money I'M
Justly are INSCRIPTIONS about taking much
greater value in the unjust waste of time. A
plumber who works by the hour, is dishonest
if he changes for an hour when he used half of
that hour 10 social confab, or in lettering by
the way"
Suppose this country was filled with these
loiterers, defrauders gossipers and "whoopers
up" of whims. We might proclaim policies on
the trusts the banks, the civil service, and
along the whole line of government functions
till the Judgment day, and they would not
amount to as much as the whine of n cat down
the back alley. An honest faithful man is the
best political platform ever writ.-Ohio State

MAKES BIG GIFT ON KRUPP CENTENARY

- In honor of the centenary of the
great Krupp works at Essen the COM
pany has donated $9.500,0Q0 to be dis
tributed as gratuities to the 10000
workmen, as welfare funds for citizens
OF Essen, and for the army and navy.
DR.. Sydow, the Prussian minister of
commerce, who attended the celebra-
ton, announced that a large number
Of orders would be conferred on Krupp
employees by the emperor.
Frau Bertha Krupp Won Bohlen und
Halbach, the richest woman in Ger
many, whose wealth is estimated at
$70.000,000, was hostess to kings.
The celebration, for which prepare
lions have been going forward for
nearly two years, was attended by
Emperor William at the head of
brilliant galaxy of his fellow German
sovereigns, generals, admirals and
civic dignitaries.
The festivities lasted an entire week
and were of a most imposing and
memorable characteS. The chief fea-
