A PROBLEM SOLVED. PROGRESS MADE BY GERMANY IN MU NICIPAL. GOVERNMENT.

It is truo that Iho Uoxmiui cititw havo boou somewhat tarily iu lii Viiling themselves with motlorn Ottawa ionom and iiiiiirovenioHts, Imt now hiw iug fairly rati red upon the tusk they ire MvompliMiing it iu a more system htio, Uiornii and lusineJiko way than any other cities, whether iu Ku rorts America or Australia. To this work of modem iniprovo moiit, eppmally iu public nppoiut meuta, the Hermans seem to huvo brought more of the seieutilio spirit and method than any other pi-oplo. Their habits of thoroughness iu research aud of patient, exhaustive treatment of any subject iu band have fully eharaetoristod their projax'ss iu the arts of civilized life. Above all, the Germans had already developed a system of public ailminis tration more economical and more iu fallibly effective than could have been found elsewhere, and they were prepar ! when the growth of their cities and the new demand for modern improve ments mode ueeess;iry a great increase in the number and variety of publio functions to do in the best possible way whatever it was derided to undertake. So coutideiit were they indeed iu the efficiency of their administrative organ ization that they dared to assign to the municipalities spheres of action which elsewhere have been left to private ef fort and control. Municipal councilors in Germany are, ns a rule, very excellent citizens. It is considered a high honor to be elected to the council. Membership is a title of dignity that merchants, profossioual men and scholars are usually eager to hold. No salaries are paid to the coun cilors, and a penalty is attached to re fusal to serve if elected. The sentiment toward these positions is much the same in Germany as iu Great Britain, though stronger with men of high education In Gorman than in fcfrl'ish towns. The re-election i f good councilors term after term is common in both countries. It would be difficult to estimate fairly the influence of the class system in Prussia upon the character of city councils as regards their conservatism, intelligence aud business ability. Undoubtedly the recent growth of the social democracy would have a sharper inufletice upon the city councils if the class system were abolished and if the municipal franchise vere made identical with the simple manhood suffrage that exists for purposes of representation in the im perial legislature the reichstag. In addition to the magistracy and the eo.-.acil, there is in Berlin a body of bout 75 so called "citizen deputies," who are selected by the council for their general fitness to serve as associates on committees charged with the oversight of various municipal interests, such as parks, schools, the care of the poor and the sanitary services. They have no authority to vote in tho council, but they illustrate, at the center of admin istration, lie excellent practice which is followed throughout the entire rami fication of German city government, of enlistiug t'ue co-operation of unofficial citizens in managing tho ordinary con cerns of the community. The burgomaster and magistrates are the most highly trained experts that a German city can secure. The burgomas ter is an expert in the general art of municipal administration. Associated with bim ri the magisterial council ore experts in law, experts iu finance, ex perts in education to administer the schools, experts in engineering to over see public works of every character, ex perts in sanitary science, experts in pub lio charity, experts in forestry and park management, experts in the technical and business management of water and gas supplies, and so on. The analogy would not be perfect, but it would answer ronghly to compare the governmental structure of a German city with that of a railway corjxirutiou, in which the board of directors, chosen by the stockholders, appoint a general superintendent or manager, a general passenger agent, a general freight agent, a chief legal officer, a chief engineer, a superintendent of motive power and other general officers and leave to these high salaried experts, drawn from the . service of various other transportation companies, almost the entire manage ment and operation of the road. The shareholders represent the voters of Ber lin, let us say, the board of directors are the municipal council, the general superintendent is the chief burgomaster, and the general officers at the head of departments are the magistrates. The magistratoratb, or stadtrath, of a German city is, then, a body of dis tinguished and honored, highly paid, professional, expert employees and not a body of citizen representatives, al though experienced memhers of the body of citizen representatives may be, and not infrequently are, promoted to mem bership in the magistratsrath. The pro fessional civil service is a vastly greater and better established field of employ ment in Germany than in England or America, and it is particularly difficult for an American to appreciate its posi tion and significance. The mayor of an American city is usually some well known citizen who is called temporari ly from private life to occupy the most authoritative place in the corporation. The burgomaster of a German city is a civil servant the permanent head of permanent body ,of trained officials. The different between the two is some what like that between our secretary of War and the general commanding the army. Dr. Albert Shaw in Century. WILD HOG3 IN AHUOIN. Hie IVgcnerate lrB;eny of Swine of Arl tocnstlc Aura-airy. The wildest of wild hogs live both ftbovo and below Yuma, ou tho Colora do river. While the steamer was lying at Cnstlo Dome lauding a few days siiico, loading with ore, a lino baud of them ou tho opposite shore camo down to tho river to food on tho banks, where tho gr;iss aud weeds wen) given, ami to get a drink of water. They paid no at tention to tho boat nor to the Indians st work. Af tor hiatlng around for awhile an old tnvir canto out of tho brush, and on spying us gave a "swish," and away they all went. Hardly a day pusses that the Indians and cattlomeu do uot run upon them. These bands scorn to be more, timid than ugly. Wheu tho late Thomas Blytho was trying to settle a colony at Lerdo, 43 miles below Yuma, ou the Colorado, ho sent down a largo number of very fino full blooded Berkshire and Poland China pigs and turned them loos on the batiks of the river near Lerdo, where they lived on tho roots, grass, woods, tules and mosquito beans; bred, multi plied, kept fat and filled tho low and tulo lands with a largo uumbor of ftno porkers. Never seeing a human being, except now and thou a lone Indian, they soon became wild aud wilder still, and scattered until the lowlands and woods wore full of them. Notwithstanding that the coyotes slaughtered tho little ones iu great num bers, they have increased uutil it is es timated that at tho present time there are more thau 10,000 of them roaming np and down the Colorado and Hardie rivers, from their mouths up as high as tho tide runs, or from (15 to 70 miles this side of the gulf. They go wherever they please. Noth ing stops them in their course. When the Colorado is at its flood, they will cross it from shore to shore, even near the Hardie, w here it is four miles wide when at its highest gango. Their range gives them the finest of feed wild sweet potatoes, tules, stray fish, clams, dead turtles and seaweed along the river bunk at low tide. They are unmolested, except now and then by a hunter who fimls his way down the river. Most of tho hunters give the wild swine a wide berth, ex cept now and then as they happou to spy a nice little roaster ou the bank aud within easy rifle shot A few years ago a man and his family were living a few miles below tho col ony on tho bank of the Colorado. lie had a pair of very flue, large staghonnds, which the owuer claimed could ruu down and kill any wild hog in that region. One day he took dogs aud rifle aud went for a nice little one, just right for the oven. He had not gone far be fore he found a largo baud of hogs and turned his dogs loose on them. No sooner had they started when out of tho tules near by jumped au enormous boar, a monster, who, with mouth wide open, paying no attention to the dogs, made for the hunter. The latter drew up his rifle and fired, but on came the hour, the dogs nipping him at every jump. The hunter fared a second shot, but on came the beast The hunter turned and ran for a mosquito tree a few yards distant, the hog close to his heels. He dropped his gun and jumped for life, graspiug a limb of the tree just as tho hog grabbed his pants and tore ono-half of them from him, but he was safe, just out of reach. The dogs all this while ran grabbing the hog by the hind legs, to which the beast paid no attention. The mad boar seized the bark of the tree in his great tusks and tore it into shreds. Finally he tnniod upon the dogs, instantly killed ono and wounded the other so thut it died soon after. He then turned his attiution to tho tree where sat the hunter. Ho guarded him until it was dark. Twice did tho man get down and try to get Jiis rifle, but his foe was on guard ond drove him back up the tree. During the night the boar left Daylight came, and so did help. The men had hurdly reached the river and got in their boat when down came the old hog after thorn in vain pur suit San Francisco Chronicle. Indian Tribe and Nation. The difference between "tribes" and "nations" of Iudians is not generally understood, tho two terms Ixdng fre quently confounded. Mrs. Harriet Max well Converse thus marks tho distinc tion: "Tho Seneca Nation is composed of eight tribes, awl this nation is as dis tinct among Indians as France, Germany and England are distinct among tho na tions of Europe. Tho six nations com posing the original confederacy of tho Iroquois, one of tho most powerful con federacies ever known among primitive peoples, included the Onondagas, the Cayugas, tho Seneca, the Mohawks and the Oneida. The Tascaroras were add ed in 1723. The name. Iroquois was uot their proper Indian name, but was de rived, I believe, from the French and has been used instead of Ho-de-man-san-ne, which, being interpreted, signi fied the people of tho long house. Only three of the original nations retain res ervations in New York state, the Mo hawks, Cayngaa and Onuidas having crossed the border to Canada with Brant and Sir William Johnson during the Revolutionary war. " Law Steerage Rate and Emigration. An American writing from London lays: It is very desirable just now that an exceptionally sharp eye be kept on the arrivals in New York, for the re duction of rates consequent on the steer age war is attracting a very undesirable class of emigrants to Liverpool and the continental ports of embarkation. Nino dollars, which is now charged for steer age passage from tho Mersey to Now York, includes not only tho usual outfit of bedding and so on, but also tho cost of the railway journey from London and Liverpool as welL And, in ciiso of pas sengers from tho south and southwest of England and South Wales, the faro in cludes the difference, if any, between the railway fare to London or South ampton and that to Liverpool IT RAINS.
