All depends a pun tha eoorso tha party pannes la tha future rather than upon the temporary influence that hare helped it this year; One of the things which give oar streets a slovenly and unkempt appearance, how ever well the regular cleaning may be done. la tha practice of throwing paper and all manner of litter upon the aidewalke and roadways. Shops and stores get rid of ranch of rabbish by throwing or sweeping it Into the street, and every pass er-by considers himself at liberty to get rid of anything he does not wish to carry simply by dropping it This slovenly practice is in violation of city ordinances, aud the City Improvement Society proposes to move for the enforcement of these regulations. A few months of the strict en forcement of existing requirement in re- ard to littering streets would correct the long-prevailing habit and result in a great improvement in the appearance of the city.

The citizens ought to co-operate cheerfully with the society and with the authorities for correcting the untidy prac tices which we have inherited and thoughtlessly followed so long. We commend to those of our Republican friends who are still shivering at the notion that foreign nations will derive all the benefit of tariff reform the following remarks of the London Iceononxitt The more the States free themselves from the trammels of protection the better able will they be to compete with us in foreign markets, and of what we gain in one direction we may lose in others." After calling attention to the ultimate advantage of all concerned in the "removal of restrictions upon trade," the Kconom (adds: "One immediate advantage we will gain is that there will no longer be an inducement "for European capital to llow to the States in order to establish new industries which might gain a footing in the American markets if tho people wore taxed for their support but which could not otherwise be worked at a profit" This is a view of tho operation of protection which is perfectly sound, and based on well-known facts, but it has not generally been discussed by protectionist journals. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, which now declares that tho passage of the Mc Kin-ley law" of 1600 was the greatest blunder ever committed by any party since tho Democratic crime of secession," is the only member of a notable group of Kepublican papers that opposed ilc-Kinleyisui in lbUO to return now to its opinions of that year. Among its associates in 1890 were the Chicago Tri6s and the St.

Paul Pioneer Preeu In the recent campaign all of them were heartily supporting the Kepublican ticket and policy. Tho Chicago Tribune and the St Paul Pioneer Prett have not yet discovered that the people who were with them in lst)0 did not follow them when they swallowed McKinleyismin 1802. The Globe-Democrat has had Its eyes opened. But how much better it would feel if it had stood by its convictions of 100 throughout the campaign. Kepublican interests may be advanced, but non-partisan gayety is sensibly eclipsed in this city by CoL Gkohuk Bliss's surrender of tho leadership in tho Eleventh District to Mr.

John E. Milholland. We road the auuouncomont with pain. Tho Colonel was not invariably sue-oeasful, but ho was enlivening. By shunting him oft' upon a siding for a MiLiioiXAND, who is probably dnli, and certainly is ridiculous, as his violent but fruitless exertions in behalf of the lion.

Wiinr.LAW Kkid clearly proyed, tho Eleventh District exhibits at 0110 and the same time a great depth of ingratitude and a revolting indifference to tho feelings of all admirers of innocent sport IX SEPTEMBER UR OCTOBER. Further consideration of tho proposition that the first seasiou of the Fifty-third Congress should begin in September or Ootober of next year reveals no objections nd discloses more clearly the advantages to be gained by such a change. In the tirst plaice, it has been admitted by a great many persons who are familiar, with the conditions under which Congress works that the date now fixed by law for the beginning of the first session is a very inconvenient ono, and that the Interests of the people and of the legislators themselves would be promoted by a change that should require an assemble of Congress two or three months earlier. To call the Fifty-third Congress in September or October would be to gtvo force by executive order to the demand for a reform which haa been Quito generally advocated without regard to party politics. In this Instance, however, there are exceptional reasons for such a change, Beginning Its session in December, Congress Is not ready for effective work antil the middle of January, and much of the most important legislation of tho session must be accomplished in the heat of July and August Beginning in September or October, tha Way a and Means Committee of the House in the Fifty-third Congress could perfect a tariff revision bill before the holidays, and it would ba possible, as we have said, to complete this general revision la March, bo that tho new law could bo pat la force by April 1 or May Wo do not believe that if an extra session should bo called la March next, a general revision ef tha tariff would bo accomplished at so early a date, and it is quite probable that the work would not be so well done.

The revision should be by one general bill, and all tha important changes la thelaw should take effect at tha same time. Some of taoeo who org that a part of the revision should bo mad at aa extra session max! 04nimer appear to think that tho dates, ilea mark th progress of th licKhdey bi 1 give force, to their argument That bi A waa reported to the House oa April 16; it was passed In th Hons on May 21; it is passed in the Senate on Sept 10, at tho final passage took place la tl Hons on Sept 27 and la the Sen-at on Sept This was the best that tl Republican majorities could do, even th th assistance of Heed's tyrannical re lings, although the XIcKinley Ways and II Committee began its work in De-eember, was proceeding upon the lines of a well-defined system, and had for a bi sis the elaborate Senate tariff bill of 88. These dates really show how the ec mpletion of a general tariff bill is do-la red in a session that begins in December, ai strengthen the argument for opening it session in September. The McKlnley bi II was not concocted in April and pi ssed in May." as one of our contempora-ri sa-rs; it was concocted in February ai March, upon the basis of the bill of 1 88, and passed at the end of September. A id the task of those who made it, as de-fi: ted by their purpose, was very much sier one than that which will confront tl Fifty-third Congress.

But we believe tl at with the assistance derived from pre-li uinary work to bo done by department oi leers and other persons who may be lected by the present House, the Fifty-tl ird Congress, beginning its session in iptember, could put a well-considered a id comprehensive revision in the statute oks by April 1. The postponement of the meeting of Con- 'esa until September would give the new A dministration time to become established, tu become familiar with the actual condi-t: on of the Treasury, to ascertain how the vision must be affected by the demand-fi ir revenue, and in other ways to prepare 1 ir a change of very great importanco in ie character and effect of our revenue li ws. It would also give tho members of le new Congress time for a review of the tuation, and some of tbem will need ii Wo have very little patience with lose who would like to attack the present tariff laws with a broadaxe tho day after Jo inanguration of Mr. Clkvelahd. leir impulses are born of ignorance, and is an ignorance that if unrestrained ould do a great deal of harm.

What these LTsons need most is a little real practical knowledge of tho tariff, and of the rovenuo and other problems that must be con-s dercd carefully in connexion with a iheme for an honest and satisfactory ro-ision of it. After looking at all the advantages to be ained by calling the Fifty-third Congress i i September or October, tlnd the argu-ri lents in support of such action so strong lat there can be very little doubt, it seems ns, that the proposition will be adopt-e i by the leaders of the victorious party a i the best that can be snggosted. -i "i 5 1 THE CIVIL SERVICE. Immediately after the election it was an-tounced from Washington that certain lan that had been considered by Mr. Harrison for extending the rules govern-i ig the civil service under the act of 1883 1 ad been abandoned.

It was also said that this was dono by the President from mo-t ives of delicacy, it being his desire not to iBstrict his successor as to any "patron-J ge" now at the disposal of the Executive, 1 V'e are not prepared to deny that Mr. Har-i ison has adopted tho policy referred to that ho has done so from the motive tllegod. And we aro quite willing to i cknowledge that from the point of view which he seems to have ocou-lied since he entered the White House, such action would een the height of mag-i aniniity. He places a high value on that I articular breach of the trust imposed in Mm known as tho distribution of patron-i ho has used it with the greatest ireedom for nearly four years; he has i ought from it all the personal advantage (hat it could be made to yield. He may ery naturally think, now, that he is doing i.

generous and considerate thing in re-I raining from taking any of the offices he lias himself used in this fashion so far i way from the control of Mr. Cleveland i hat the latter would be forood to reverse Jr. Harrison's rules in order to get theso nflices again in his hands. It is true that atronago haa been a groaf curse to Mr. Iarrisox, and.

though it secured his nora-nation, it helped very decidedly to pre-rent his election; but we doubt if he sees hat even yet But we strongly hope that Mr. Hakri-on will reoonsidor this policy, if it bo eally true that he has resolved upon it The sentiment attributed to him may be onerous enough, as he regards it. but it rill not be appreciated, we fear, by Mr. Slevelahd, and the consequences of the policy must be wholly and permanently mischievous. Mr.

Harrison has been in power long enough to know very clearly what aro the -requirements of the service snd to what branches of It it is desirable to extend the rules. If he has not that knowledge, he can very safely rely on the Advice of tis own Civil Service Commis-lioners. They have been very diligent nd faithful in their general work, and they have made a careful study of ivery department of it with reference to this particular question. He need tiave no hesitation in taking their recom-mendationa. He will even have a particular reason for doing so, in that it will give him an opportunity partly to redeem the explicit pledges given by his party platform in 1888, and renewed and extended by Jiim in bis letter of acceptance.

Nor should he be deterred from action obviously so just and necessary by any fear that he will be accused of late repentance. It would certainly have been very much better had he tried to keep his promises from the first But though it is too late now wholly to repair the damage he has inflicted on his own reputation, it is not too late to do a real service to the country, and to make an Impression on the pnbllo mind that will go far to efface the one derived from his previous conduct Let him by all means extend the rales anywhere and everywhere that tho commission may suggest Ttvaro is ono dapartmaat of tho pnblio service to which th rules eoold, aro sure, applied with groat advantage tha Indian Bureau. Thia has already been dono in part, and a complete reform thera is not possible until th appointment of agents is taken entirely oat of politics. Bat a good deal could bo dono to prepare tho way for non-partisan appointment of agents, which we are confident Mr. Cleveland will undertake.

If all the subordinates at the agencies are brought under the rules, the offices will not bo so attractive to politicians aa they have heretofore been, and the work of faithful officers when appointed will bo rendered very much easier. If we are not mistaken, the Civil Service Commission is prepared to submit the rules at short notice required by this change, and it could readily be accomplished before the close of Mr. Harkisox's term. Another extension which would be still more easily made, 6ince it would require no new rules whatever, would be that to all offices having twenty-five employes. This would greatly lessen tho pressure from politicians for the offices to be included, and would greatly increase the scope of the reform.

Still another extension which is entirely practicable is that to chiefs of division. If Mr. Harrison will make these extensions and add a rule requiring all officers possessing the power of removal to place on record a statement of reasons for removal, be will render a signal service to the country, and we venture to say that ho will excite in the mind of his successor no sentiment but that of gratitude. THE VOTE OF PENNSYLVANIA. The vote of the State of Pennsylvania at the recent election presents an interesting subject of study.

The official returns are not fully made np, but the reports generally agroe that thero was a falling off in the total vote from that of four years ago, whereas it would have been natural to expect an increase of from 80,000 to 100,000. Tho incrcaso from 1884 to 18S8 was nearly 1O0.0OO. The decrease is Attributed in part to the new ballot law, but that would hardly have deterred more than a few thousand from casting their votes if there had been a general desire on both sides to support the party candidates. The Rcpnblican plurality in 1884 was over 81,000. and in 1888 it was but a little below 80,000.

This year it is hardly above 00,000, and more than half of that was in the city of Philadelphia. Notwithstanding a decrease in tho total vote, that of Cleveland was greater by nearly 0,000 than it was four years ago, while that of Harrison was more than 10,000 smaller. This was in spito of a bad Democratic "slump" in Philadelphia, where there was a loss of over 9,000. This was mainly due to tho requirement of a tax receipt as evidence of qualification for voting, and the refusal of the Democratic City Committee to pay taxes for the voters of the party. But for this tax requirement tho Democratic vote would doubtless have been much larger throughout the State.

As it was, Harrison had a plurality in Philadelphia of 32,215. against 1H.500 in 188. But outside of that city it was in the whole State only about while in 1888 it was 01,000. Even in Pennsylvania, the stronghold of high protection, something was working powerfully aeainst the party of McKinley-ism. Is it certain even that the Republicans have an absolute majority in that State, if the full vote should be cast in exact accordance with tho convictions and preferences of tho people According to the census of 18o the number of males of voting age in the State exceeded 1.40,000, of whom considerably less than 200.0O0 were unnaturalized foreigners.

Making proper allowance for increa there must have been at least UOO.ooo citizens entitled to vote who did not exercise tho right on election day. Why did so many abstain and how would they have voted if they had come to the polls! Pennsylvania was regarded as a sure State, and that was calculated to beget apathy. The Democrats made littlo effort iu what they regarded as a hopeless canvass. In fact they can hardly be said to have made a canvass at all, while there was some Republican pride for showing the party strength iu tho home oft McKinleyism aud of the victims of fat frying. It would bo interesting to know just what the result of a full vote would have been.

If the logio which Republicans are wont to apply to tho Southern States were to be applied in a similar way it would be demonstrated that Pennsylvania ought to have chosen Democratic Electors. During tho Fifty-tirst Congress the House unseated a Democratio member who had received 15.000 majority in a district in Alabama on the ground that the lack of votes against him showed that his opponent would have been elected If only those votes had been cast The seat was awarded virtually upon the reasoning that all the votes not cast were Republican votes and the defeated candidate would have been chosen if those votes had been cast The same kind of argument has been used with reference to the light vote generally in Southern Congressional districts where there has been practically no contest, and has been used to prove that by rights the representation of the States in which this occurs ought to be cut down to oorrespond to the vote instead of the population. We do not really think that the 300,000 silent votes" in Pennsylvania ought to be counted for Cleveland. But if any force or influence could have brought them out it is not a violent assumption that not more than 100,000 of them could have been secured for tho Republican ticket while it is possible that most of the rest would have gone to Cleveland. Many of them were the votes of Democrats who did not deem it worth while to go to the polls; many of them were doubtless those of Republicans in a similar mood; but there is no doubt that a very large number were those of Republicans who were positively dissatisfied with their party, who were averse to voting against it.

but would notvotewithit Thereis surely a very large uncertain element In Pennsylvania polities in these times, and thero no knowing what the effect may be some day when it is stirred to action. It has elected a Dem ocratio Governor twice in recent years. It may reach th point of helping to lct a Democratic President some day or othex. I EUSDSZJt TOR ALASKA, Additional mean of transportation and an increased food supply for the natives are two of th most argent of th want of Alaska, The lack of facilities for communication not only retards tho growth of trade, but is a great drawback to tho proper administration of jus tic. As to the food question, it has became mora serious from tho inroads made by whites on sources of sustenance which tho natives formerly possessed in abundance.

The ravages among the seals of lata years are well known, and in the agreement with England tho taking of 7,500 of them a year as a food supply for a small part of the natives bad to be stipulated. The canning factories are said to have greatly injured the catch of salmon in some rivers, by the short-sighted policy of building obstructions which prevent tho fish from going np, and complaints have been made by the Indians on this score. In these circumstances, the introduction of a new source, both of food and transportation, is a great event for Alaska, and Capt M. A. Hxaly of the revenue cutter Bear reports that this has been happily begun by founding a reindeer station near Port Clarence, with 177 animals to start with.

The value of the reindeer to the dwellers in arctic regions Is well known. The owner of a herd can support himself and his family largely on tho milk of these animals. The flesh is cxcellont eating, but in some regions the animals aro generally considered too valuable to bo killed for food, except as a necessity. Thoir speed and endurance in traveling on snow are nnequaled. Another peculiarity which helps to make them invaluable to the frozen regions is their habit of procuring their own sustenance.

They feed on a sort of lichen which grows abundantly in Northern regions, and which the animal procures by rooting under the snow with its nose. It Is not strange that the reindeer should be regarded with a peculiar affection by the inhabitants of the polar regions; and this was possibly tho origin of tho notion that tho people have a superstitious fear of selling them. This was urged as one obstacle in the way of introducing them into Alaska from Siberia: but Capt Healy, and also the Rev. Dr. Siieldon Jackson, the General Agent of Education in Alaska, who has given special attention to this matter, under the Interior Department, disposed of tho notion by buying a small number of tho animals in Siberia and making arrangements to purchase more.

They found no difficulty in procuring reindeer for the corral at Tort Clarence, and also engaged herders to tako care of them and to instruct tho natives in managing them. Alaska already his an animal something like tho reindeer, although more like the caribou; but it is a wild creature and cannot be nsed liko the domesticated and serviceable animal of the Siberians. These cariboo and the deer are fast diminishing in Alaska, as Capt Healy has pointed out, and will soon be a poor source of reliance for the natives, as tho whalo and walrus have become under the pursuit of white men. But when it is reflected that only a narrow strait separates Alaska from Siberia it seems clear that animals which thrive on one side can be made to thrive on the other. In fact, the moss on which tho reindeer lives grows abundantly in Alaska.

It must be admitted that in Ice-laud, where tho introduction of reindeer was 1770, tho experiment did not prove very successful. The animals soon became wild and of comparatively littlo uso to tho inhabitants. But even there their great multiplication is noteworthy, as they are found in large hords in the solitudes of the interior. Iceland is not at all in need of reindeer for a food supply, the chief wealth of tho people being in their great numbers of cows, horsos, sheep, and goats, and thero are vast quantities of fish and water fowl. In Alaska, a has been suen.

the problem is wholly different, both as to means of locomotion and as to food. Tho Indian carrier, tho dog train, and tho lately-introducod packhorso need to bo supplemented by the reindeer, while, as to food, it has been seriously represented that unless something is done for a new sonrce of supply the natives may havo to be supported by the United States Government, like tho Indians of the plains when their buffalo were exterminated. The reindeer's skin will also furnish them the kind of clothing best suited to that climate and tents and bedding. Altogether, the humane experiment begun at Port Clarence is of great importance to our arctic territory. ART MUSEUM TRUSTS EX SO FINAL ACTIOW TAKEN RELATIVE TO CLOS1HU OK SCWDAT.
