PTsposterous

The mest preposterous idea that We have yet
heard suggested, is, that the Rcpublicaa eandi-
date was nominated for the ofice of City Trea-
surer because the party had no other "to be Ailed
this year to which aliving salary was attached"
and that he should be elected although "hs has no
such skill as an accountant as would make him
suitable for bOok-keeper for firm, much less
Treasurer Of manufacturing company" Now,
We ask the Repai6i'ean, these quotations being
conceded, whether it does not itself think it
would le showing great want of intelligence on
the part of the voters OF city like ours, TEdlng
itself in its sud the PTopriety of things, to
elect gentleman to such an office who is so
utterly unqualified to discharge the duties7 Itit
is not preposterous 10 suppose that a party can
impose such a candidate on the people with any
hope of his election?
But this is the legitimate result OF the course
now pursued in the Republican party. The col
ored brethren make nominations without regard
to qualification and expect the white portion of
the party to elect them regardless of consequeu-
ces

The Candidates Compared

From Every Evenlng.-Non- -partizan.
Mr. Vincent wanted situation-needed it, and
the sympathy of his friends and acquaintances
secured him The requisite number of votes to Sc
cure his nomination. He is a clever, genial old
man, and one that hath had losses" aud the
sympathy for him is creditable to the popular
head. But he has no such skill as an accountant
as would make hum suitable Tor = boOk-keeper
for a firm, much less Treasurer of a manufactur-
ing company, and the proposition TO M IKE him
Treasurer of the great corporation which includes
all the smaller ones-the city, wOnId be laugh
ably absurd were such things not 90 painfully
common in political appointments.
HIS opponent on the other hand is a mos. cana
bic and experienced Accountant, was for many
years cashier OF the Farmers Bank, when in the
days before National banks was one OF our chief
mOnled institutions, and he Is therefore ted TO
earn the salary the clty pays ITS chief account
ant as the Treasurer really Is, and We believe that
untoward circumstances occurring since his retire
ment from business have made the comparatively
small salary attached to the Lfce q matter of con.
sequences to him. Such considerations ought not
to influence voters unless the question OF fitness
between the two candidates Is 90 evenly balanced
that the choice becomes one Of merely personnl
preference, bat ne. ertheless they do exercise an
influence. We hope, however, to see Mr.. Hicks
elected, simply because he is the only candidate
for the Office really ft for the place.

GREAT sClIEME.

The scheme Of transporting oil to the sea
board from the oil region, by means Of au un.
derGrOund pipe, which was discussed In 1906,
has been revived. George w. Platt an ex-
perienced and practical civil engineer, who has
superintended the construction of the Holly
Water Works In six different cities, has written
q letter commencing the scheme, which d TO
lay a slx-inch pipe from 1itusville, over the
Allegheny range, In bee line to Philadelphia,
the approximate distance being 2GO miles,
from an elevation above the level of Titus
vile, at point about 20 miles distant, Of 1900
feet, and 5, 900 feet above tho level Of the sea.
Six pumping stations and q Telegraph would
be required along the line, with five other
pumping stations between Titusville and the
summit. 1t is estimated that q, 900 barrels Of

Another famous ventrloquist was Louis

to France l. Rejected by the parents of a
very rich heiross as an unsuitable match
for their daughter, Louis, on the death OF
the father, paid visit to the widow; and
as soon as he entered the room, the voice
of her deceased husband was heard thus to
address her "Give my daughter in mar
riagc to Louis Brabant; he is man of for
tune and character, and endure the pains
of purgatory for having refused her to him
Obey this admonition, and give repose ia
the soul Of your departed husband" OF

voice of the misers deceased father wa
heard, complaining of his situation in pur-
gatory, and calling loudly upon his son to
rescue him from his suflerings, by enabling
Drabant to redeem the Christians at that

1t may be remarked, rs rather an Oh ! cir

female vcntriloquists and these have always

referred to incidentally by writers of that

uusGEr OLD AEeTEN WASHINGTON.
POEeII's Picture OF Perry's VICTOR,

From the Washington Starl
William II. Powell, the artist, has been
working some more on his picture of the
battle of Lake Erie. at the Capitol, and has
filed in about an acre Of unfinished canvass
since the adjournment of Congress. 1t was
a great picture then, but is now very much
more so. Thirty or forty additional cannon
have been brought to bear upon the devoted
skiff that carries the gallant Perry TO his
new flagship. These guns are pouring hot
shot upon the hero in the most concentra-
ted manner. Sixty or seventy now cannon
balls have been painted upon the water in
the vicinity of the boat and the bottom OF
that fral vessel is so clustered up with them
that the men can't row with any satisfaction
at all. The boatswain has been hoored by
some of the balls, and he exhibits good
deal of dscomposure at the weight Of Il six
ty-four FOUNDER on the small of-his back.
Two or three Of the rowors have "caught
crabs" in consequence of the water being
so full of cannon balls the commodore
hootlegs are jammcd with spent balls, and
very large one rests directly on the top
of the uncovered head. His little son tugs
at his coat-tail, and pleads with linn TO sit
down out of harms way; but this remarka
bic man will not sit down, lie will not bulge,
and with his head lald back upon his shout
ers, and his breast barred to the iron temp
est, he gazes camly into the blue cmpyrean
The artist, it should be added, has thrown
out tire chest of the hero considerable more
than it was last Winter. so that n straight
liue from his chin to his waist band would
cut him into three pieces. 1t is great pic
ture.
The correspondent of the Boston GLOBE Is
nearly untiattering. He admits, sarcastic
ally, that twenty-five thousand dollars
worth ofpaint is not to be "sneezed at" He
objects, however, to Capt Perry's leaving
the St. Lawrence, fresh from smoke, con-
fusion, blood and battle, ''thc very pink OF
propriety, in spotless, eXquistely arrayed
garments = also to the man at the stern Of
the boat "transhxed by terror at something,
perhaps ghost;" to the ensign being hoist
ed in the bows of the small boat instead Of
as now, astern and to general treatment
of the anatomical structure of the figures,
as if such structure were mere accident OF
nature. People often take the picture for tho

Difference in Carpeting.

In choosing a Brussels carpet, il is
well TO remember that there are two
qualities of the article-English body
Brussels and tapestry. The difference
between the two is considerable, both
in texture and price. The tapestry
Brussels comes in just as desirable
colors and patterns as the other, but
the threads or loops are not fastened on
the under side. This carpet can be
distinguished by taking a piece of the
carpet and pulling one of the threads,
when the loops will come out Just like
knitting or crochet. If carefully used,
one of these carpets will wear well but
rough sweeping, and boots and shoes
with tacks in them, will soon cover the
floor with strings of different colors.
In this they show their vast inferiority
to the English body Brussels, which is
far more substantial, although to the
inexperienced it does not appear any
better, or, in truth, different from tap
estry. 1t is more desirable than the
other for this reason: The loops are
fastened on the under side, and there.
fore cannot be pulled out, either by
drawing the threads or by pulling al
the loops. An excellent plan is now il
vogue of placing Innings underneath the
carpets, consisting of two thicknesses o.
stout brown paper with cotton between
These soften the floors, and make the
carpets wear better.
