THE ULSTER PROPOSALS.


 MT Asquith's suggestion that eacn Ulster county should vote separately on the issue of Dublin Home Rule versus exclusion lfor a period or six years) is at it's face value very fair one. The difficulty is that the iead- CTS of the Ulster movement-Sir Ed ward Carson, Captain Craig and the men who brought about the signing of inc coyenant-have pledged their word that they would not desert the Protestants of the n-Protestant counties. Should the present propo- saIs be accepted, it is considered cer- tain that Antrirns Down. Derry and Armagh would vote exclusion. while the remaining five counties would vote Home Rule. Now, two of these five counties-Tyrone and Fermanagh- are over 40 per cent. Protestants. With the four already mentioned they constitute the Plantations ~ dating from Cromwell's period--and the Ul- ster leaders have been saying privately for some time that the exclusion of the Plantation counties is the least con- cession which they would even take under consideration A hostile atti- tude on their part is pretty surely in- dicated.
 As to what position the Unionist leaders will take it is not easy to say It must not be forgotten that in all this Home Rule difficulty the Union fsts have been trying to force a gen eral election, and that both parties. facing this possibility, have been jockeyfng for position. It is polit-

SIR ALEXANDER MACKENZIE


 The first white man to penetrate the rocky fasfnesses of the Canadian Rockies and Sel- kirks and reach the Pacific Coast of the British Columbia of fhs future was Sir Alexander Mac kenzie, who died in his native Scotland ninety four years ago today During the period be- tween 4789 and 1793 this intrepid and hardy Scotch explorer wandered through that wild country which is now the Canadian West He discovered the great Mackenzie river which perpetuates his name, and followed 1t to where it flows into the Arctic Ocean at Mackenzie Bay. He also explored the Peace River to it's source Mackenzie was member Of the Northwest Company, the big rival of the Hud- sons Bay Company. He was knighted by the King, and lived to understand in some slight proportion the importance of his work aI- though at that time nobody guessed that the vast area now constituting the Provinces Of MaDitoba, Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia would ever have any value except for the fur companies. Mackenzie's trip across the continent to the Pacific and Arctic oceans. through forests and across prairies and over mountains, ranks among the most memorable of the expeditions of Western pioneers

On that terrible twelfth Of March Coney Island about as difficult of attainment as the North Pe!e but that didn't bother this reporter by the name of Reilly There was a story at Goney Island and he volunteered to go after it.

Enough for him that there was story at Eoney Island And so Reilly went out into the storm. Another re- porter told the remainder of the story in one bald, terse sentence:
 Reilly was found in a snowdrift in Flat bush and taken to the county hospital, where he died soon afterward "

A REPORTER BY THE NAME OF REILLY

There have been blizzards and blizzards :: but The Blizzard was at it's height twenty -six years ago today, March f2, 1888, and millions of people along the Atlantic coast, from Penn sylvania to Nova Scotia, still count time from That severest of all bIizzards. New York and Philadelphia were the cities most affected al Though Boston and scores of other cities in New England, the Eastern States and the Maritime Provinces felt some of the terrors of that ter rible storm.

DOLLAR BRICKS

Bank Street Mission Fund
 Worthy of Charity.

Selling bricks is an occupation these days pursued by some of the
 most representative men of the city Many are buying the bricks at sl each to have ownership in the new build ing of Bridgeport Christian Union, to be built of them.
 3yThe first week of the $75s00o Build ing Fund Campaign. under the per- sonaI direction of George H. Edwards, has seen the procedure gain great headway. ..Nothing can stop it now. say those engaged in personal work for the institution that has done such a. ulagnificent work since it's inception a little over four years ago.
 It is desired to have the building completed and ready for occupancy before next winter This must be effected owing to the inadequate quar- ters and rapidly increasing demands on the institution. According to those acquainted with the work, it is one of the most worthy charities here, showing great results Its manage nent is non -sectarian, it sufHces that he is asking assistance and is willing to make some return
 Each applicant is given the oppoT- tunity of earning what he gets He does not have to have the money be- fore he gets food and lodgings. On thes other hand he first receives the shelter and food and then is given the opportunity of working in the instftu- tion.s wood yard or of being sent out in response to one of the many calls received for workers to carry out ash es, shovel snow, n1ow grass and the many other classes of work for which a handy man is needed at odd times in many homes and around many stores.
 Thus while the institution is not conducted for profit it is not wholly charitab b1e.

UNJUST BURDENS LAID UPON
 THE HOMES or BRIDGEPORT

|rT>H HERE ARE TWO main classes Of prop
 erty in Bridgeport taxable for muni- cipaI purposes, and a third class which is less Important than the other two.
 These classes are property in dwellings, properly employed in anufactures and prop Eerty employed in mercantile pursuits Property in dwellings will pay for the support of municipal government, this year about se6,0oo. This property is valued at s5o,-
 Property in manufactures, valued at about $65 ,0000oo in the report of Census Bureau, will pay but s576, GOO.
 The difference grows out Of the ease with which the values of dwellings are established for purposes of taxation and the difficulty of Easceftaining the true value of nufactt1riny property.
 But the whole injustice done to homes is not exhibited by mere consideration of the amount paid in direct taxation.
 Three of the great expenses of city gov ernment are the laying and maintenances of sidewalks, the construction of sewers, and the construction Of permanent pavements
 Sidewalks with curb and gutter are en- drely paid for by the property which they ad- join. Sewers are assessed 75 per cent against property in the Immediate neighborhood. Per manent paveInents are assessed % percent against the property which they abut
 All Of these things are for the general use Of the whole public. and the practice of erect ing them at the charge of abutting property was probably not well founded. It is now however, too late to change the system so far as it affects sidewalks, for it would be an in justice to those who have paid for walks, to make future sidewalks the subject Of general taxation.
 The same is true Of sewers if they are to be laid piecemeal, as heretofore But if there is to be wholesale change in the sys- tenn made on large scale, with the future Of the city in view, it would be most unjust to raise 75 per cent. of the cost by assessing abut- ting or neighborhood, lands.
 Tn this way homes bear a very unfair share of the cost, and very large amount of will escape it's due share of 8 burden, levied to obtain a benefit, not for the living only but for generations unborn.
 With respect to permanent pavements, if they are to be extended into residential dis tricts 1t is not too late to make them a charge against the general list.
 If they are not so laid, an undue part of the cost will fall upon homes, and very small part of it will rest upon property other than homes.
 Until charter amendments have been ob- fained obviating these inequalities, no whole sale improvements to be paid for by large bond issues, should be made.
 Especially does this statement apply to the $3OO,0OO bond issue for sewers. There is no need of raising such an amount Of money for this purpose. It is foundation upon which under the present system of assessing 75 per cent against land, million dollars worth O, sewers may be laid
 THE COST OF MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF SEWERS so LAID, WOULD FALL ABOUT 80 PER GENT. UPON HOMES AND ONLY TWENTY PER CENT. UPON OTHER KINDS OF TAXABLE PROPERTY.

Recalls Former Delays,
The budget has been held up long
er than this several times before. I
remember when John B. Goodwin was
Mayor and Harry Stockdell chairman
of the Finance Committee.
The budget was not passed one
year until March. Nothing Is being
held up but new Improvements. and
the weather has been so bad It would
have been almost impossible to have
done any work on them"
The plan OF some members to break
the deadlock in the Aldermanic Board
by having Mayor woodward cast the
deciding vote was forestalled by
ruling by City Attorney Mayson.
Old Law Repealed.
He said there once was law Civ
ing the Mayor authority to break a

Alderman John S. Gambler was too

lock held.
Vigorous efforts are being made by
a number of officials to reach an i'm

both factions are talking compromise,
