HUERTA QUITS.

victoriano Huerta has resigned as provincial president of Mexico, Fran
 cisco Carbaja1, former cabinet minis
 ter. has succeeded him, and so ends an important chapter in the history of a most troublesome country. The former will in all probability leave
 the country and the conditions will permit of an arrangement that will bring peace to Mexico and the great question now is regarding what steps may be taken towards this end.
 The new president Is an educated man, capable of assuming the reins of government and with none of the fierceness of his predecessor: one with whom satisfactory terms might be ar ranged if the constitutionalists, who dislike all of those connected with the Huerta administration, are ap- preached properly. They have virtual ly won their fight; their great oppon- ent was Huerta and with him out there is no reason why they cannot come to some amicable agreement by which peace may be obtained and law and order restored in Mexico. That, is a condition which may be difficult to bring about. If, how ever, the mediators could be brought together immediately before the breach can be further widened, some- thing might be done towards formu- lating a definite policy by which war would cease and peace be established, but if the constitutionalists are to continue decimating the population, march into Mexico City and take pos session of the government, which can only be accomplished by serious loss of life, they will start their term of management under conditions that will be much more unfavorable than they are at present
 The result up to date is a victory for President Wilson. He opposed Huerta, refused to recognize him as president, and has now made the way clear for his successor, whoever he may be, it being understood that Car bajal is only temporary official. The presidents methods have been critI- cised as futile, but they are bearing fruit, and the evidence is that they

Two weeks ago the secretary of Gov
 Fielder of New Jersey threw lighted match into a newspaper on the floor of railroad smoking compartment. The Governor trampled out the blaze when he felt it scorchipg his legs. A few days later he found his office awning blazing from cigarette stub tossed from a window above. He tore 1t down. Despite two such object lessons the governor, Monday, tossed 9 flaming match into his waste basket instead of the cuspidor at which he aimed. Tn extinguishing the fire which communicated to his desk he ruined a $250 rug, the gift of his wife If the Governor of a sovereign state has no greater sense of responsi- ht1ity than this fool conduct indicates 1t is hardly reasonable to condemn the ignorant tenement dwe1ler for his shiftlessness in the handling of fire.- Waterbury American.

Plumber Got His Reward.
Washington Post.)

The story is just getting around about a dinner given in exclusive
 Washington society, at which the most tactful person was undoubtedly plumber in overalls.
 It was an elaborate dinner The central feature of the table decora- tions was playing fountain. But just before the dinner was to be served the fountain refused to play.
 A plumber was hastily called. He crawled under the table and soon had the fountain sending a delicate spray into the air He was busy tightening the couplings of the temporary pipes under the table when the head butler his mind relieved of load of care when he saw the fountain playing announced in the drawing room Dinner is served"
 Before the plumber knew what was happening the guests had entered the dining-room, chairs were drawn up, and he suddenly found himself hemmed' in. by wall in which trousers alternated with skirts
 It was a big round table, so. he was safe from discovery from any shift ing foot. He scratched his head and wondered. He looked carefully around. Neither to the right nor to the left nor between any pair of feet was there sufficient space for him to wiggle through. The only way to get out would be to tap on some knee and-'Pardon me, please"
 He didn't know much about the etiquette of formal diner parties, but he had a hunch that he wouldn't make hit. He decided that there was just one thing to do; stay where he was until the trouser-and-skirt wall departed. So there he sat, while course after course was served, cof- Tee slipped, cigarettes and cigars smoked, nothing to entertain him but a ground-foor view of high society.
 When the dinner was at last over and the guests had returned to the drawing-room the plumber crawled forth.
 The hostess had tarrfed for a mo- ment to give a few directions to the head butler. She gasped with aston ishment.
 The plumber explained.
 Slr,' said she, you are a gentle man. Then to. the head butler: James, give this man $1O for him. self.' Then to the plumber: And please say nothing."

REPRESENTATIO
 SEWER INVESTIGATION.

The common council has decided to have a committee of it's own to join in investigating the sewer ques- ton, but if 1t does any travelling II must pay it's own expenses, while those of the special committee will be paid out of the appropriation Of thousand dollars taken from the incidental fund. It is evidently the intention 10 have the council com- mittee only listen to the inaparting of the inf ,rmation obtained by the special committee and when the mat ter comes up in the council to be in a position to debate it along the lines followed by the report. 1t is hardly necessary to say that the com mittee will not be called upon to per- form any laborious task and from the manner in which the matter has left the council it is difficult to see how any value can come to the city from it's evident restricted powers. If there were any real desire to have the council represented in an inves- tigation of sewage disposal it could have been provided for when the special committee was being ap- pointed. The mayor is member and the work which the council com mittee is apparently expected to per- form could be just as we'll taken care of by the mayor who is a member of the council.
 That the council committee will not do any investigating is evident from the terms of the resolution which compels the members to pay their own expenses. That was 8 hard blow and suggests that 1t would have been more in accordance with the proprieties to have omitted the naming of a council committee alto- yether. What the public is inter- ested in is the best and the moot economical method of caring for the sewage and to have the filter beds placed in condition to do the work for which they were built. That really should have been done by the board of public works which has charge of sewer matters, and 1t might be assisted by an advisory commit fec as the water commissioners were at one time.
