In the problem of muni cipal government we In America are mere Iridium. The titles of the old world are years ahead of 'us.

No mat ter what "function of' municipal' govern ment Is deficient or being neglected, If you have one man whom you rait hold respon- Ihle you can cure It.

He sulci the luestton had passed the debatable stage ii nd no doubt remained but that city gov ernments should own publio utilities. Mr. Dillon of the Druid Hill Improve ment club praised local newspupers and their editors and 'read a speech in which were panegyrics on the home and citizen ship in lustrous settings. He urged the ownership and beautlllcation of homes and said that Improvement clubs should do everything pogJblc to foster these Ideas. Vlaaloi (llnroirnt (labs. Mf.'l'iirsqns, president of the Central Park - club, remarked that the mission of Improvement clubs 1s not only to see thut h'ttil improvements aro properly distrib uted, but to- guard.- public funds, and thut tills point should not bo forgotten. The "speech of Mr. Van Gilder lt the Pros- pert Hill club was a very long one, start ing hIUi. the cpra)ng of the street railway tur Froseeet Hill -and terminating In the vt clniiy of the Panama canal. He told in de- Tlre seriousness with which women are Interesting themselves In civil service re form was Indicated at Monday afternoon's meeting of the Woman's club, which was attended by one of the largest audiences of the yesr. The pingram was presented by the civil service' reform committee, Mrs. F. H. Cole, rhnirmnn. snd besides the club membership there were present Mrs. H. M. Hushnell of Lincoln, president of the. state federation: Mr. Charles Bollock of Klalr, vies president for ihe Second dis trict, and representatives of the several other clubs of Omaha. Rellevne and Coun cil Bluffs. A piano solo by Mrs. Samuel Kati opened the program. In the absence of Postmaster H. K. Palmer, who was de tained by Illness, H. C. Akin of the post office read his address. In substance as fol lows: Ninety-four years after the Declaration of Independence the representatives of the I'nlted States In congress assembled en acted a law. which can lie found on pge 514. section . of volume 16. I'nlted States statutes, and roads as follows: "That the president of the I'nited States be. and he Is hereby authorised to prescribe such rules and regulations for the admis sion of persons into the civil service of the I'nlted States as will best promote the ef ficiency thereof, 'snd ascertain the fitness of each candidate in respect to age, health, character, knowledge and ability for the branch of service Into which he seeks to enter, and for this purpose the president Is authorised to employ suitable persons to nouct siren iniiiuris, to presenile tneir duties and to establish regulstions for the conduct of jiersons, who may receive ap pointments In the civil service." This law did not make It plnirt that party politics should not w considered in the ex amination of applicants, ami while it w.is permissive to a full untramelled entrj- Into the service, regardless of party loyalty. It seems to have ben wholly ineffective and practically a dead letter until January IS, lsss. when congress enacted a law, the re sults of which have In another manner been as far-reaching as the first act that declared our Independence froni Great Brit ain. The first act denied allegiance to the crown; the law of 1871 was the llrst move toward freeing us from political rule and service to grafters. ine'tirst genuine honest move toward civil service reform was In the act of Jan uary 1ft, 18X3. In this battle honesty and truth triumphed. The act passed was a more comprehensive and effective measure than ttne one or March a, lsTl. In this act the applicant for civil service examination could be a republican, a democrat, a Cath olic or a Protestant. Politics religion or color was no bar to his or her admission to the service. The act was specially i tended to promote the efficiency of the service by eliminating politics and rewards for political service. Tills law when passed applied to about 6.000 employes, but now more than SfPO.OnO employes of the govern ment In nearly every department of service are Included In the benellts of civil service law. . -After reviewing the early principles, rules and their application In the civil service, Captain Palmer came down to some later facts and figures: The application for civil service examina tlon must show that the applicant is reeu tarly vouched for. and that he Is entitled by age, health ami citizenship to be exam ined for the service ho seeks, his nullle is then entered uism the proper record, with the date of his application, and Ids paper is flaced on tile. When the next examination s held, at a point which seems convenient for him, he is notified to be present. Nowhere on the part of the commission or Its subordinates is there any favor or dis advantage allowed by reason of sex. Only under free, open, competitive examinations have the worthiest women the opportuni ties, and the government the protection, which arise from allowing character and capacity to win the precedence and place their due. The need for political Influence or for Importune solicitation, especially dis agreeable to women, for securing appoint ments in me ciussmed service exists uo is chairman of the state civil service re form committee Nind of the necessity of such work. Dr. A. B. Snmrrs spoke of civil service reform as applied to state Institutions. He said that there is practically no sueh thing as civil service reform In the state Institutions of Nebraska, which lisrlmr ,iXjO inmates; that even In the hospitals positions are not awarded on account of merit, but were secured and retained rather by political Influence. He emphasized the necessity of competent superintendents, physicians, teachers and attendants in these institutions If they are to serve the full purpose for which they are supported by taxpayers. He spoke especially of the In stitution maintained at Mlirord for unfor tunate girls and of Its scant patronage, which laid it liable to abandonment. He commended the law passed by the last leg islature regulating private hospitals for such patients and called attention to the fart that It Is flagrantly violated In Omaha and ignored by the health commissioner. He referred to the majority of these lylng- In hospitals as little short of criminal and recommended that the club women make it their business to arouse a sentiment In Omaha that would bring about an enforce ment of the state law and send the unfor tunate girls who are now supporting these places to the state. Institution, where they might receive the moral education and care for the year which constitutes the term, that In the majority of cases makes them honest women able to support themselves and their children. A vocal solo by Mrs. A. I.. Sheet! con cluded the program, which was followed by an Informal tea In the club parlors. During the business session which pre ceded the program Mrs. F H. Cole was elected delegate to represent the club at the . convention of the Second district, to be held In Omaha February 12. On tha occasion Miss Mary McDowell of Chicago will speak of her work In the settlements of Chicago. The visiting delegates will lie entertained by the flve federated clubs of Omaha and luncheon will be served at noon at the Commercial club. A proposition from Dr. Norman Guthrie of the University of California toslecture before the club about the middle of February was accepted.

Mich.- more than TV per cent. ine percentage Of women is low for the reason that outside of the city of Washing ton where in all the departments under con trol of civil service rules, fully 80 per cent of the work is strictly clerical. In the large postomces of this country fullv Ho ner cent of the work must bo dune by men. Men must carry the mall. A woman could not carry from eighty to 10U pounds of mall In a sack strung over her shoulders through snow, slush or mud, as our carriers have to do In Omaha. Then we have in the Omahii postiifflce thirty-two mailing clerks, who J must lift and empty lame, dirty mailsacks. I The distributors must do the same and all ! must stand tip to this hard work, which no woman could do. So out of the 232 clerks, carriers and subs, we have only twelve women, less than per cent. There were In the Postiifflce department, according to the twenty-first report of the Civil Service commission for the year end ing June 30, lit. 5,370 persons not subject to civil sen-Ice rules. Had I the power, I would muke them all subject to civil service rules except the one person at the head of the department, the postmaster general, who by virtue of his position Is a member of the president's cabinet. Of course it cannot be denied that the president should have the power of naming his cabinet. Speaking of the president, reminds me thut our honored president, Theodore Roosevelt, was first appointed as a member of the Civil Service commission May 13. l!l, and resigned May 5, 1S6. - Its has done more perhaps than all the oilier officials towards perfecting the system and educating the public generally In regard to the uiiestioua of merit promotions, rather than political promotions, to positions where the service la for the people, and la paid for bv tho people, without regard to any political in religious opinions. As far lwck as twenty-two years ago the commission suggested: "It would seem plain that since the sub ordinates at the poKtuttti-ea and customs offi ces, to which the rules extend, are no longer appointed on the basis of a party teat. coiirlKtency not less than the efficiency of tlie service forbids the application of that test-for the sele.-Unn of collectors or postmasters at such offlcea. Only on that condition can these offices be taken out of party politics uud become In. fact, as thev are In legal purpnai nu-re business agencies of the government." I would amend the rather ambiguous wording of this suggestion to read as fol lows: "it would seem plain that since the sulior. dlnales at I ho postofflces and the customs MEANING OF GAELIC REVIVAL Nebraska rlsh-Amerlcans Invited to Help the (nose of an "Irish Ireland." Nearly 2,000 tickets placed for sale among organizations and individuals Interested In the cause, was the report made last even ing to the executive committee, which Is arranging for the lorture of Dr. Douglas Hyde on "The Gaelic Revival" at the Boyd February 8. As Omaha is the only city In the Missouri valley which Dr. Hyde will visit, it is expected there will lie a large attendance from out of town. Reports have been received of delegations being organ ized in Sioux City, la., and in Lincoln and Columbus, Neb. In order to give well-to-do liish-Amer-leans in the state un opportunity to con tribute to the fund for tho benefit of the Oaelic league the executive committee hah addressed a letter to prominent men in various towns, inviting their co-operation. In part the letter says: Dr. Hyde Is In this country for the pur pose of raising 150.000 for the league. He Is giving his time and services without re ceiving II therefor, and refuses absolutely to take a penny from any of the funds col lected or from any other source for what he Is doing In behalf of his countrymen. The movement In behalf of which he is en Raged is accomplishing wonders for the Irish people and is entitled to the hearty material, support of every man through whose veins runs a drop of Irish blood. More than 150.000 are studying the Irish language today in Ireland; a.OuO of the S.O110. schools are teaching it. : No one can pro cure a position In Dublin. Cork or any of the large cities unless he can pass an ex amination in the language. The revival Is uniting the Irish people as they have never lieen united before. Protestant and Cath olic, believer nnd nonbellever are working earnestly In its behalf. Not only has it re called to vigorous life a dying nationality, but It has as well created an industrial spirit among the people that promises great material good. Minneapolis, Chicago and St. Louis are the only other points in the Mississippi valley at which he will speak. We desire to make as good a showing for Nebraska as possible. Ths meeting whlcli he will ad dress here will, we expect, be presided over by Hishop Scanned. F-very effort is being made by us to make It a splendid success. An admission charge will be made, but we must raise a great deal more money than will be derived from tho sale of admission tirVets. Consequently we have appointed a committee to go amongst our own people here to raise as large a fund as possible. We hsve been directed to communicate with representatives of our race at points out side of Omaha and ask them to Take lip the matter in their locality iliid raise as large a fund as possible and remit to T. P. Red mond, assistant secretary, care of O'Dona-hoe-Redmond company, Bennett building. Omaha, Neb. In pursuance of this in struction we appeal to yon to undertake the work In your locality. The amount you collect will be credited to your place, not to Omaha, and will be handed to the treasurer of the Gaelic league as a contribution from your place. Omaha will get credit only for what it contributes. from Thirtieth to Twenty-second, and the grade of Twenty-eighth from A to Q streets. 1 The city clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for the laying of permanent side walks for Ihe coming year.

As but one case If liooked for trial, the term of court will be brief and the court Is expected to return to Omaha by Wednesday or Thursday. The most Important matter to com up for consideration at the Omaha term will be the hearing of the motion for a new trial In the Ware case, which will be about Friday. It Is also possible Harry. Welsh,' co-consplrator with ileorge Ware,- will be, sentenced ufldfr his plea of guilty, Welsh is anxious to know the worst of his case and begin On his sentence as soon as pos sible. It Is now- thought at. the federal building that Frank Lambert tnay not be sentenced lie also having pleaded guilty to con spiracyfor several weeks, but that his bond of $10,009 may lie reduced approxi mately to 3,0tX. which he rays he can readily give. 'He will be placed tinder Im mediate subpoena as a witness In other illegal land-filing cases in the cattle coun try before the grand jury that may be called in special session In March or early In April. 1 There Is considerable speculation as to the possibility of sentence to be Imposed upon George G. Ware in the event of Ihe motion for a new trial being overruled. The latest United States statutes provide for a conviction of conspiracy, a maximum fine Of $10,iO or a maximum Imprisonment of two years, or fine and Imprisonment both. No minimum is fixed, but it Is thought a fine of tl.OCO to 15.0(0 and one year and one day's Imprisonment may be bestowed upon Dr. Ware. ew Ineorporat Inns.

Joe Labrcek, known about the. ucking j houses us Joe Roebeck, the man- whose chin I was shot off Sunday night, is still alive 1 and. according to the istatement of Dr. Koutsky, he has a chance of recovery. Two more arrests have been made in connection ' with the shooting. The first was the ar rest of Mrs. John Tent-gar. Forly-tlilrd and j N streets, where the shooting took place. I It Is said that she tirged young Tom Kosiol to do the shooting after a drunken quarrel ; with Labecek, or Roebeck. The third ar- , rest was that of Anton Kotzur, a butcher. I who had been aith Lnbecek, and who Is I said to have fired four or five shots which 1 lodged In the barn at the Tenczar place. 1 Mrs. Tenczar was set at liberty yesterday I morning after an examlratlon w liii showej j that she had little to do with the affair. No complaint has yet been filed against Kozlol. since the extent of Laliecek's injuries are not known. It Is likely that the derense will develop a different story of the shooting. It is de clared that Labecek and his companions went to the dance for the purpose of break-Ins- it un or of whlDning Kozlol. In the first place they entered the house, where some ! kind of a quarrel took place and an attempt ' was made to get Kozlol out into the yard and administer the whipping. It la said the lights were put out and In the darkness ! Kosiol eluded his raptors, who struck htm J one blow on the head, rutting his scalp. ' While In the dark and fighting it is said' that Labecek' s companions struck him also nn the head, mistaking him for Koziol. ' When the Daiiv got out the door it was locked. Then they tried to get In again, ' when they found their victim had escaped' them.
