that the stray representative Of the scaly

conceded that in the milk it was out ofits

THE FOURTH WARD AND THE BOARD
OF ALDERMEN. central ward of the
city is now without Aldermanic repre-
sentation. Mr.. N. B. Hill, elected to
fill the vacancy caused by Alderman
Bollings resignation, declines the po-
sition, and yesterday Alderman Lynn s
resignation was presented and accepted.
This leaves the Fourth ward without a
voice in the board, and it was decided to
defer filling the vacancy until the next
regular meeting. We are at loss to
discover any valid reason for the delay,
1t was known several days since that
Mr. Hill would not serve, and Alderman
Lynus resignation was in the Mayor
hands Monday morning. The Fourth is
one Of the most important wards in the
city. 1t is the commercial and none
tary center, and the vacancies should
have been promptly filled.

The Cry D.-The Board of Al
dermen looked into. the city pound
nuisance yesterday, and an ordinance
abolishing the institution passed first
reading, and was referred to commit
tee. Whatever may have been the
original object of the pound, its work
ings have evoked more cuffs than
caresses. Somehow dogs and other
useless animals seldom find themselves
within its fragrant precincts. Occa-
sionally blooded canine ornamented
with neat collar, evidencing that the
animal is somebody's pet, is brought in
yelping. 1t is taken for granted by the
Industrious purveyors that ransom will
be forthcoming. But hogs, those quiet
garbage destroyers, and goats, whose
milk is used by many poor family, and
whose odor is supposed to deaden infec-
ton, are driven to the pound in droves.
1t is absolutely certain that they will be
inquired after, and their arrest and de-
tention are profitable 1t is fact that
hogs and goats are spirited : from
Enclosures and marched to the pound by
boys DESTROYS of the offered reward. We
do not suppose the keeper is aware OF
the scurvy tricks practiced by young
mackcrels in their search for four-footed
victims. If he were to ask questions,
scores Of lies would be his answer He
therefore receives the animals and
awaits further developments. This is
all we'll enough, in its way, but the city
pound is an annoying humbug-a fra
grant nuisance-and we hope the ordi'
nance looking to its abolition will pass
finally. Its operations are a hardship
to those least able to bear it. It's good
ia not visible to anybody.

W. \. Graham, of North Carolina.
formany years United States Senator
from that State, and the Wing candi-
date for Vice President in 1912, on the
same ticket with General Scott, thus
speaks Of the attempt of Radicalism to
carry lis partisan ends, through negro
suffrage, in the south:
The situation of the States of the
South is indeed melancholy. We are
realizing the truth of the declaration OF
Mr., Fox, that the most dangerous of
all revolutions is restoration. The
idea OF constraining the States by mill
tary dominion into the adoption of con
siitu;ions for local governments, with
the right of suffrage extended to ne
grocs, without any qualification except
being OF the male sex and over twenty
one years of age, and by the Howard
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States at the same time distran-
lranchising all men of experience and
influence among us, is the most solemn
farce that has been enacted in all histo-
ry. 1t is to roll back the tide of civili-
zation for centuries at least, and place
the ballot in the hands ola constituent
cy less qualified for the Office of gov
ernmalt than has ever before exercised
it in a republican country.

Father, come before thy throne,

To thank Thee, with II grateful tone,

Forgive me il my heart this hour,
give not all to Thee,

Thou knowcst, Father, every thought
That wakcth in my breast,
And how this heart has vainly sought
To keep its love suppressed.
Yet when the idol, worshippcd one,
Sits fondly by my side,
And brcathcs the VOW cannot shun,
To me his destined bride
Forgive me, iftllc loving kiss
lclcaves upon my brow
Is thought of in an hour like this.
And thrills me even now.
He's chosen me TO be his love
And comforter through life,
Enable me, oh God, to prove
A loving, faithful wife
He knows not, Father, all the deep
Affection control.
The thousand loving thoughts that swccl
RcSstlcss DER my soul.
He knows not each fount ofiovc
That gushes warm and free;
Nor can he ever, ever prove
Ny warm idolatry.
Then guard him, ather! youW his way,
Thy choices. blessings east;
And render each successive day
Still happier than the last.
And, Fathr~, grant Us 50 to live,
That when this life is DER,
Within the happy home you give,
Wen meet to part no more.
