Busy on Allison Hill

Thirty-two wagons and eighty-six
men started in the Allison Hill and
uptown districts this morning to clean
up the big accumulation of ashes so
that net week teams can start on
schedule and maintain it.
Men are needed to handle the ashes
and man additional wagons and will
be given employment by applying to
Dr. A. 2. Ritzman, assistant health
officer Every effort will be made to
keep the large number of teams out
and start more as fast as men are OBJ
tanned, so that the tie-up of the last
men were divided into four groups to-
day and sent to districts that have not
been covered for some time.

Duty of Congress.

The nation entered upon a program so new and of such vast scope that all calculations about it are necessar- fly tentative. We must step cautious ly, and watch our steps. Peril may Turk equally in tagging or in haste We shall have to guide by develop ments; and who in a period of such commotion and confusion everywhere will undertake to forecast develop ments anywhere?
 Congress is at the mercy of the times. It does not know what day may bring forth. But 1t does know that the public business of this coun- try is largely in its keeping, and must be attended to promptly in emergen- cies. And certainly not since the spring of 1861 has such an emergency presented itself as now exists.

By his prompt action the day war was declared Secretary Daniels saved the government $2O,OOO,OOO. In the purchase of steel for naval construc- ton by negotiation he secured reduc- ton of prices that amounts to $18,- 100000. On the cost of torpedoes, by executive action, the navy department saved over $2,OOO.OOO by fixing a price covering production and a reasonable profit, where the manufacturers bids were found to be excessive. By agree ment with the Council of National Defense the copper interests have of- fered to supply over 45,OOO,0O0 pounds of copper for the army and navy at about half the market price.

KEEP OFF POLITICS
No Room for Party SquabbIing at
 This Time.
Both Parties Are Supporting the War, but the Responsibility Lies With the Democrats-The Next
 House,

Why the talk, already beginning, about the complexion of the next house? What could be more in doubt What depends more on circumstances? What basis exists for reasonable spec ulatton? Over twelve months will lapse before the first nominations are made. Eighteen months will lapse be- fore election day comes. At present the subject Is cloudy in the extreme.
 Today, politics is largely in the back ground. The war overshadows every thing, and both parties are supporting the war. They will continue to do so. They are voting supplies, and showing every disposition to see the thing through.
 But we are not yet in what may be called action-certainly not in our stride. Until we strike that, no causes for sharp divisions are likely to arise. But when we do strike that, should cause for criticism arise, then politics may come to the fore again. Although both parties are supporting the war, the Democratic party is in full control of the government. The war is beginning under Democratic | administration. The commander in chief of the army and navy Is Dem- ocrat. The vice president and the speaker of the house are Democrats. Democrats control the purse, and are shaping war measures.
 Naturally, therefore, if success Is registered in war matters in the com ing twelve or eighteen months, should hostilities continue that long, the Dem- ocrats will claim, and be likely to re- ceive, the credit.
 On the other hand, if things go wrong in any material measure; if we fail to serve, either in the raising of an army or in the handling of one raised; if we do not respond in every way as our European allies are hop ing we may, the blame will be placed on those in control, and there will be plain talk on the subject for effect on the congressional campaigns next year. Then, press censorship or no censorship, discussion will take a wide range, and pens and tongues be busy everywhere.
 This is the American way. We all employ 1t, and we all enjoy 1t. A rad ical change, though formally decreed, could not be effected. Free speech and free press are deeply socketed in our scheme of government, and could not be removed without disaster to the whole structure.

 Dear Fred-I try to find heart and life to tell you that it is all over with dear old Nolan. I have been with him on this voyage more than I ever was, and I can understand wholly now the way in which you used to speak of the dear old fellow. I could see that he was not strong, but I had no idea that the end was so near. The doctor had been watching him very carefully, and yesterday morning came to me and told me that Nolan was not so well, and had not left his stateroom-a thing I never remember before. He had let the doctor come and see him as he lay there, the first time the doctor had been in the stateroom, and he said he should like to see me. Oh, dear do you remember the mysteries we boys used to invent about his room, in the old Intrepid days?

I could not help a glance round, which showed me what a little shrine he had made of the box he was lying in. The stars and stripes were trfced up above and around a picture of Washington, and he had painted a majestic eagle, with light nings blazing from his beak and his foot just clasping the whole globe, which his wings overshadowed. The dear old boy saw my glance, and said, with sad smile, Here, you see, have a country' And then he pointed to the foot of his bed, where I had not seen before great map of the United States, as he had drawn it from mem- ory, and which he had there to look upon as he lay. Quaint, queer old names were on 1t, in large letters Indiana Territory Mississippi Ter ritory,' and Louisiana,' as supposed our fathers learned such things; but the old fellow had patched in Texas, too; he had carried his western boun- dary all the way to the Pacific, but on that shore he had defined nothing.
