THE CITY ELECTION.

The result Ut the contest on Tuesday is
given in another column. The Kepubli,
cans have elected at large the Recorder
.thc Treasurer and the Assessor, and lost
the Mayor. In the second Ward we elect
cd our Al lermeu and Justice of tho Peace
while the opposition carried their tickle,
in the other two Wards, except that Thorn
rs Riley. independently was elected Con.
Stable in the first Ward. \. ". klmball,
for Mayor, had Is majority Oh this side
OF the River, but the unprecedented vote
ON the east side ncutraliZcd that and elect.
cl =. .. French by sixteen. That Ward
BY eight votes, and John Mlncttc rs Goa
stable, by large plurality vote.
We hoped that Mr.. Klmball would be
elected Mayor, not more because he is
we'll qualified, th.n for the reason that we
believe him to be u fair representative Of
the better class Of society and OF business
10 this city; but the people are sovereign
and We yield chccrfully to their bcllcsts.
Mr. French has the ability to serve credita.
bly, in the position to which he has been
chosen, and We shall expect of him every.
thing needed in an executive officer to pro.
mote the gool order and material interests
Of the city
The Council although not all rcpubli-
can is composed Of excellent men, and
will be an efficient executive board.
In the Department Of Justice there has
been no changc,-cach Of the present ill.,
cumbcnts having been reelected.
The services Of Mr. r. Griffith the pres.
cnt Recorder, were SO acceptable to every.
body that he was reelected without oppo.
siliOn,-a compliment which he fully
merited
Dir. II. Dunklcmann, tho present popu
lar Treasurer, will hold the office another
year, having been chosen by one MAORI.

used without his conscnt,-hc having stat
I'd in advance that he would he a candid

Last Friday was in many respects one
of the most uncomfortable days which VIC
have ever seen. In the morning We had
severe thunder storm,-quitc as terrific
rs any that usually visits us in July or
August, and the rain fell in long s]anling
streams, while the temperature was very
near tho freezing point. Later in the day
although rain continued to fall, it became
colder, 50 that the surface of everything
was covered with ice, and ut night the
wind blew from the northwest giving us
bitter winter. On Saturday morning tic

SEED WHEAT.

\ month ago We published IN article
upon this subject, endcavoring TO show
the importance OF selecting the most
healthy grain 10 be used rs seed. Since
that time half the papers i'll tho State have
discussed that same subject, showing the
deep interest which it inspires. Last year
the prolonged wet weather in tho month
of August excited the gravcst fears about
the safety Of the wheat crop, and every
body tclt that it's loss would be L calaml-
IT, greater than tho State could bear. Had
tho whole Of the last crop sproutcd i'll the
shock, the damage would have been less
than will result from the use OF poor seed
this spring. Itmay as well be understood
and accepted DIS Il Fact that grain which
was heated either in the stick or in the
bin, even though it dit no, sprout is un-
tit for use as seed. Such is the universal
testimony Of experienced agricnl'urists,
and it will be to the advantage Of farmers
to be governed by it, That newspaper
publisher who snccrs 1T those who have
the manlincss to tel! what they know about
the practical details Of the great profess
ion OF agriculture will scarcely be regard
ell rs the best friend ofthc laboring classes.
