What docs the Election Signify 2

Undoubtedly, in all elections hcl1 by the people
for public or municipal officers, the voice OF The
majority through the ballot signifies somcthing,
Where the majority is large, or an lncreasd one
for the candidates Of particular party, it musl
signify not only confidence ln the men, but also
iu the party to which they are attached. This
for certainly We can 60. But docs such a vote
also signify approval Of the past course Of the
partyy Where it is known that the candidates
have openly expressed themselves in favor OF the
course OF their predecessors 1t undoubtedly does.
But whether any such expressions had been
made 10y the new members of the Council, prsvi-
Gus to the election or MOTIVE cannot say positively
There may have been assurance given privately
by several of them 1t would be interesting to
know whether Messrs. J. Z. McLear, John II.
Adams, VIM. Green, Isaac Murray and Joseph r.
Phillips, arc favorable 10 the purchase of the
park at the extravant price the contlnuance lot
the city hospital, at heavy cost and other un-
necessary schemes calculated to run the city into
debt and Increase the burden of taxation. The
advocates of these measures will no doubt claim
that the election OF Republican candidates by
increased majorities is conclusive proof that the
majority of the people are favorable to these cx-
pensiye projects. But how will they reconcile
the fact that Messrs Z. Febiger and J. G. Baker,
who were both elected by largely increased votes
and handsome majorties in their wards, with
their strong and decided opposition to the city
hospital project 1t is true that large class of
the voters of the Republican party, are not sup
posed to be able to deposit vote with judgment,
aud therefore this Significance OF the decision had
Tuesday is not entitled to so much weight as
it would be were those voters better inforned.-j
But the weight Of this fact is in part neutralized
in the further fact that large class of Demo
cratic and other voters, remained away from the
polls and thus assented TO the measures hereto
fore referred to
Whatever the decision at the polls may have
signihed, We are permitted to hope that wiser
counsels will prevail and that no further effort
will be made to run the city into unnecessary
debt. We shall wait and see. ....,

NO REFORM.

We cali the attention of readers TO the speeches
of the Republican candidates after the election On
Tuesday night. There is a strange and carsfal
avoidance Of any reieIance to Reform what
ever. And We lind an entire non-eOmmiltalism
as though every man had determined TO follow
the direction that may be arrived at by the party
caucus. In this particular, there seems to have
been no criminal or independent action resolved
on by either Of the gentlemen who ware induced
to speak on this occasion. We shah therefore, be
compelled to wait and see whether The same old
party ruts are to be followed.

A NEW SYSTEM OF PAYING EMrLoYr

A NEW SYSTEM OF PAYING EMPLOYEE
The South Side Railroad Company Of Long
Island has recently Instituted system Of pay.
ing its employees with interest-bearing checks,
called savings bank checks" Attached TO
each check are four coupons, one payable at
the end Of each quarter, the interest being 1t
the rate Of eight per cRAk, and the Ultimate
payment being guaranteed by special depos-
It Of the comPany's 6rst mortgage bonds with
the New York Bond Deposit Company. The
checks are issued IN denominations Of 60, $40
$50, $50, and $500 each, and are 0xehanRoable
at the cOmpany's Office at the convenience az
the holders. The checks are Of course coed
for theiF fa0s upon demand at any time, 6nt II
held until the interest coupons become due
will be worth the interest Ia addition. When
the last coupon becomes due the check may
be collected OF GxehADGed for a new one with
coupons for another year. There Is q reciprO-
cal advantage In this method Of payment, but
it Is believed that It will be especially adVan-
tageOus to the employees. who will thus be In.
dnced to habits Of economy. Indeed the "saV-
ings bank check" Is already coming into great
favor with them.

THE conversion of the Colorado desert into o
great inland lake is not the only project Of the
kind now before the world All deserts have al
some time been the beds of seas. Somewhere
there has been an iAlet through the STRATA Of 0i-
braltar. An upheaval in the narrow pass would
convert the Mediterranean bottom into a desert.
Some such pbenofnen enon has already tAtefpoaed
the Sahara between Northern and Southern ATM
ca. A captain. .Bonldin has found thatthis desert,
in Algeria, at least, Is below the waters of the
Mediterranean. He has brought the subject be-
fore the Geographical Society Of PsrIs. That
body has opened a corespondence with the Gov
eminent Of Tunis, and proposes survey Of ca
raoun, and from thence to Lake Mel-Rhir. II
this is accomplished, and the waters Of the Msai-
terTanean once swallow tho noEtheTn, edge OF this
formidable desert, who can tell where they will

Pedro Sstarsin.

phical sketch of Pedro Satarain, at present living in this place, which may prove interesting to our readers:
 Am native of Madrid, Spain; was born there in the year 17s7;
 my parents emigrated to Mexico some time before I did, which
 latter event took place when Il was 13 years of age. Ny father, Bonifacio Satarain, was beheaded by the Mexicans in 1910, on the hacienda de San Antonio de las Ventanas, near the city of Duran. go. Not long afterward, his exe- cutiOner came to me and boasted of the deedi (On the same day
 and hour were killed $, 900 natives of Spain, not in arms, and for no
 other reason than that they were Spaniards.) My mother has since
 died. Having been destined for
 the church, my studies in Spain were pursued. toward that end,
 and soon after my arrival in the
 City of Mexico, I was placed in San ndefOnse College there, and
 afterward in the Seminary of San
 Jose, in GuadalIara. But the abuses I saw among the clergy of tho Catholic Church at first ex. cited my surprise, and finally, af- ter much deliberation, and before
 being ordained priest, I hung up my sacerdOtal robes: because I saw that the priesthood sold the holy
 sacrament for money; and because I saw also that the clergy lived in amuenee upon ext0rtions made from the poor in the name of tho
 Lord. This decided nc to for
 ever abandon 8 calling in the pur.
 suance of which I had to be . hy.
 poerite. I saw, too, that the VOW
 of celibacy was not, religiously
 kept, and believing that marriage
 Is GOd.ordained for all men, I en-
 tered the hymeneal state soon af.
 ter abandoning the course marked out for me by my parents. Ia
 1920, being in Guadalajara, I set 1 out from that city in company with Fray Bernardo del Espiritu Sant0, and visited all the places between that city and this sec- tion. passing the spot where l Yuma now stands in October of l that year. Soon after tho death of my wife from cholera, which occurred at Hermosillo in 1850, I was approached by bishop Laxa- TO de la Garza y Ballesteros, and | all the influence of the clergy | brought to bear to induce mo to | resume my former ecclesiastical status, upon condition that l was mover more to behold my chil. dren. To which my reply was, in brief: These. my children, | are worth mere to me than all l tho world; l cannot part with 1 them"
 In 1921 I again arrived at Her mosillo, Sonora, and there mar ried second wife, living in that | city until 1845; when, the Gan. dara revolution occurring, I left ] the State of Sonora and went to Chihuahua. In 1853 I returned | to Hermosillo, and became Q

firing of guns commenced by citizens on the watch, and con- tinued irregularly till the dawn of day, when the fusilade from all sorts of weapons was general.
 Flags were then hOisted by J. Samter, H. Humboldt, Red0ndo & Fr0ank and E. Williams, over their places of business. We no- ticed two Prussian flags flying out of respect for the U. S., and the day was fairly ushered in. Vol leys of firecrackers were then fired, and their rattle, mingled with the boom of big guns, be- came general along the principal streets of our town.
 Before IF m. every man had ar. ranged the programme of his 4th: some were heavily laden and staggering; others had sought the society of their friends; and still others were wandering about aim- lessly ready to fire their patriot ism with the least spark of ex- citement.
 Att o'clock, Fort Yuma fired a minute gun, the first of . na- tional salute of s7 guns, which, ended, Yuma lapsed into com. parative quiet. Crowds of Indians ran up and down, happy as the happiest. While there were dis. turbing elements among us, nothing occurred to. mar the sec nic effect or interrupted the ins- pirations called forth by a day so full of meaning to every true American.
 At nightfall there was another general fusilade, the flags were hauled down, and suppers eaten, preparations began for the
 BALL AT HUMBOLDT HALL.
 In this spacious new hall, Q tenn porary stage had been erected for the musicians; and from the ceil- ing depended in graceful folds the glorious "old Flag" calling up many an ennobling recollec. tion, but mono the memory of which was half so dear as the immortal utterance, "Give me Liberty, or give me death." The floor was prepared for twinkling feet by covering it with canvas, and the chiefs of ceremonies were busy as bees and polite as French dancing masters, with their buzz ing hither and thither in the per- formance of their labors of love. At about g o'clock, . prelude trembled from the harp, and Oth- CT musical instruments joining, the music became too inspiritinE to resist long; so, the couples formed on quietly and gracefully for quadrilie, and inaugurated the festivities of the evening by treading its mystic mazes. The assemblage being . select one, the of the attendants was all it should have been. Wines, cakes, lemonades, conserves, etc., had been provided by the com. mittee, and the intervals between daaceIand promenade were occu. pied with bon-mots and bon.6Oas. One young lOve.lorn youth intro duced cdso0rOnes, but they didn't suit the temper of the assenblage hence his-agony. It was a most 1 Iys --A E.-v LA A Ar- A .
