Merchants Orgauizing for Mutual

The retail dealers engaged in the va
rious mercantile pursuits in this city and
vicinity have organized themselves into
an association for their protection
against delinquent and non-paying GUS
toners, and also for the promotion of
their general welfare, not by combina-
ton for monopoly, but by unison of &C
ton and interchange of views on BUSH
ness topics relating to their mutual

Merchants Protective Association, and

and on both sides of the street, gangs OF
men congregate on the pavement, and no
lady can pass without being stared at in
an impertinent manner. These people
should be compelled to move on by the
police, as a number Of complaints have
been made already. We may have more
to say on this subject hereafter, and if
so, we will locate the nuisance more
clearly, as we merely intend the above
as plain hint both to the police and the
street-loungers.
Does the present ordinance as to
cruelty TO animals refer to street car
mules2 Imagine a poor little mule
dragging heavy car and twenty light
heavy passengers up the grades over a
long route. Our scientific commissioner
took ride in Beal street car yester-
day, and saw the poor mule make the
effort above mentioned, and he had to
get out and help to shove the car back on
the track three times, the game but over
loaded little animal being unable to pull
the load. There were mad passengers,
worried diver and an unfortunate mule.
Is there no limit to a street car load, or
is it right to allow people to enter car
and get packed in like sardinesin box2
Our commissioner merely makes these
statements, not to complain on his own
account, but out Of pure sympathy for
the four-footed animal which had to haul
the other animals. A street car passen-
ger should not be charged fare when not
furnished with seat, and this has been
decided to be the law in other States, as
have rights as well as the
Company.

Already ward politics for the January
municipal election is beginning to creep
out, as prospective candidates for cleo
ton or reelection as Aldermen, Coun-
cilmen and School Visitors are moving
around, taking survey of the local
field. There will be elected in January
number OF School Visitors, twenty
Councilmen and FIVE Aldermen. The
wards in which the election for Alder
men will be held are as follows: Second
ward, present incumbent, Alderman
Robbins; Third ward, present incum-
bent, Alderman Metcalf; Sixth ward,
present incumbent, Alderman Cicalla;
Seventh ward, present incumbent, AL
derman Hillsman; Tenth ward, present
incumbent, Alderman Colligan. Several
of these gentlemen will be candidates
for reelection, as will also be majority
of the Councilmen and School Visitors
now serving the city.
In Memphis a city election creates
more excitement in the different wards
than does the election for members of
the Legislature, and this is especially
true every two years, when the Mayor
atty, Tax Collector and Wharfmaster
contests are thrown into the political
scale. In a short time a registra-
ton officer for each ward will have to be
appointed, whose duty it will be to issue
registration papers to all legal voters.
We take the initiative and announce
these facts to the public in due time, as
our local political commissioner has dis
covered that the prospective candidates
are already at work putting in their
claims where it is expected they will do
the most good.

LEGEND and myth have united to distort
the Character OF st. Patrick, the national
SAINT to whom our Celtic follow citizens, all
over the world, unite to-day to reverence;
but when he is Invested of whatever the ex-
travagance of Imagination has gathered about
him during period of more than a thousand
years, he stands forth as one of the illustrious
reforners and apostles of dark age. The
date and place of his birth is in dispute.
When young man, he was taken prisoner
and sold as slave in Ireland. After long
servtude he escaped, but determined after
due preparation to preach the gospel. There
upon he went to France, studied in monastic
schools and was ordained priest. He then
returned to ireland, but was driven away
from Dublin and landed at Brene. As val.
liant ior the truth as st. Paul, he soon soupbt
" coh'ert the powerful pagan king, Lasgbaire.
he was taken prisoner and would have been
sacrificed had not the king admired his foar-
less conduct and pardoned him, granting hin,
at the same time, permission to teach his
new doctrine. His teachings met with won
derf1l success; thousands embraced the new
faith; he established churches and schools.
and taught the people the elements of high
er civilization. He began his work in 4aa
and died in 493, during which time. as a mis-
sionary, he was instrumental in overthrowinp
the worst forms of paganism, and PLANTING
the seeds of Christian civilization.

There is strong lobby influence organizing to
prevent the annulling of these contracts and
threats from the Butler side are freely made
against those members who dare to denounce
them. The argument used, aud which Butler
made so prominent in debate. is that the taxes
