ALPENA BANDIT seems that
Alpena is destined to have Cor
net Band at all hazards, and il
they can get no support from the
'.itizens they propose to do the bus
mess on their own hook. A num-
her of our young men have joined
in the formation Of band, rented
a room, and Mr.. Z. G.. Howard is
furnishing them with music and
teaching them free. They are do
ing the best they can with the old
instruments they have, and prom
Use to be as good a band of must
clans as there Is in the State. But
to accomplish this end, they need
a new set of Instruments, the cost
of which will be about $500. When
they receive pay for their services,
they have the money deposited in
the bank, there to remain until
they have a sufficient amount to
purchase their new instruments,
and we earnestly hope that our
citizens will look after this matter a
little, and do something toward
raising the amount for the boys.
1t seems that there ought to be mu-
sic-loving citizens enough in Alpe-
ma who are willing to contribute
something in this direction to make
the raising of the amount an easy
matter. At the meeting at the
court room on Monday evening,
some of our citizens subscribed
over one hundred dollars, SO that
there is less than four hundred to
he raised to secure the new instrn-
ments, and make the boys happy,
and above all, give Alpena q first
class hand. Let every man do ac-
cording to his means, and We as
sure them they will never regret
the slight donation.

The late fall of snow has not
been without its benefits to QUE
citizens. Many thousands of ce-
dar posts have, within the past ten
days, found a way to the docks ia
this city, aud one might naturally
conclude that there would be q
very good demand for that part OF
Alpena county product during the
coming season Of navigation.

Result Of Mondays
Work.
Republicans Elect Eight
and Democrats Seven Of
the Fifteen Officers.

The election on Monday in the
city of Alpena was warmly con-
tested on both sides, and the result
shows the officers pretty evenly
divided between the Democrats and
Republicans. The hardest fight
was to defeat candidates who were
engaged in the injunction of the
school tax in the winter Of 1S71-72,
and to such n degree was the ques-
ton agitated before the election
that many voters went to the polls
on Monday with a full determine
ton to cross out and work against
injunctionists. Without a doubt
the hardest work that was done
was to secure the reelection of
Geo. l.. Maltz as Mayor, and the
result below shows with what sue
cess. Both Mr.. Maltz and Mr..
Butterfield are good men, and we
believe that either of them would
10 the best in their power for the
Interests of the city, but the fact
that Mr.. Butterfield was an injunc-
ton candidate worked materially
o his disadvantage, and was be-
yond a doubt the real cause of his
defeat.
The result shows that there is
but little chance for either the
Democrats or Republicans to claim
a victory.
The contest for Treasurer was
taxpayer or non-taxpayer, with the
odds in favor of the taxpayer.
The following table shows the
total number of votes cast for each
candidate, with the majorities:

Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-03-19

The Republican Senators in Con-
gress will not consent that the false
economy inaugurated by the Democ-
racy in the House shall prevail to the
impairment of the public service.
Under date of March II we have the
following from Washington:
At an adjourned meeting of the cali
Gus Of Republican Senators to-day,
after long discussion, it was unani-
mously agreed that the necessary
efficiency of the Civil Service would be
seriously impaired ifa sweeping reduc-
ton should be made in all its branches
by the application of the reported pol
icy of tho House committee to cut down
nearly all the salaries ten per cent,
and also that the action of the House
in proposing to abolish the number of
our missions to South America and to
reduce the salaries of our principal
Ministers in Europe is unwise and
impolitic. twas therefore agreed that
the Senate Committee on Appropria-
tons should pass upon each item OF
reduction in the various bills sepa-
rately and should recommend con-
currence only in those reductions
which, after separate examination, are
found compatible with the continu-
ance of requisite efficiency. Whenever
such reductions can be made the Re
publican majority of the Senate will
vote for them, but on the contrary,
unless similar good reasons can be
shown for concurrence, in any rec
ommendation OF the House touching a
matter Of importance the issue will be
met with frmness.

Mr.. WOODBURY. seems to be making
a very efectual fight for our Mint,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable ac-
ton inaugurated by the House Com
mittee on appropriations. When Mr..
Fitch represented this State in the
Lower House of Congress, he had just
such fight as this. The committee
had reported against an appropriation
for the Carson Mint. His only fight
was to beat the committee. To be sure
he was one of the majority-the House
being at that time under the control
of the Republicans. But the struggle
was none the less an arduous one. 1t
is no boys play to persuade the House
to reverse the action of one OF its COM
mittees. We all.know how successful
Mr.. Fitch's efforts were in that in
stance. Let us hope that Mr.. Wood
burns struggle may be attended by a
corresponding measure of success.
Here follows what the telegraph has
to say upon the subject-under date Of
Washington March Il:
The House Appropriation Com
mittee, on the Recommendation of DR..
Linderman and the urgent representa-
ton of WOODBURY. and other Pacific
coast members, have consented to re-
consider their action concerning the
Carson MINT and will insert in the
pending Appropriation bill items for
the salary for Superintendent and
Coiner and $40, 900 additional for wages
and materials.

Warm Autumn's gold be changed to shrouding
And Winters chill.

In beauty blow;
And cesselessly through shade and sunny hours
Deaths harvest grow.
A little while shall tranquil planets speed
Round central flame: [ceed

And lapse from fame.
A little while shall cold star tapers burn
Through times brief night;
Then shall my souls beloved One return
With day-spring bright.
How oft in golden dreams see Him stand.

SEEKING A TEACHER FOR LINDA
She was at one of the union schoolhouses
half an hour before school opened. She
had Z" Linda" with her. She was tall
woman, 40 years old, with jaw showing
great determination, and Linda" was
Is, and rather shy and pretty cookbook
ing. The mother said she hadn't been
in the city long, and that it was her duty
to get Linda into school and see that she
was properly educated. When the teach
er came the mother boldly inquired
"You know enough to teach, do you?"
81 think L do" replied the teacher,
blushing deeply.
"And you feel competent to govern
the scholars, do you?"
"Yes M"
"Do you pound 'em with ferule, or
lick 'em with whip ?''
We seldom resort to punishment
here" replied the embarrassed teacher.
THAT'S better yet" continued the
mother, 81 know that if Linda should
come home all pounded up I'd feel like
killing some one. L suppose you are of
a respectable character, amt you ~
Wby--ahem- why" stammered
the teacher, growing white and then red.
81 expect you are," continued the
woman. ITS we'll enough to know
who our children are associating with.
Now, then, do you allow the boys and
girls to sit together ?"
"No ma'am."
"That's right. They never used to
when was young, and l don't think
Linda is any better than | am. Another
thing do you allow any winking ?"
"Any what ?" exclaimed the puzzled
teacher.
"Do you allow boy to wink at a girl?'
asked the woman.
Why, no ~
81 was afraid you did. Linda is as
shy as bird, and if she should come
home some night and tell me she had
been winked at l don't know what I'd
do. Now, another thing-do you have
q beau ?"
Why-why-" was the stammered
reply.
Il think you do ~ resumed the WON.
an, severely. 81 knowju how it works.
When you should be explaining what an
archipelago is you are thinking OF your
Richard, and your mind is way, way off!''
But, madam"
"Never mind any explanations, )" inter-
rupted the woman. II want Lindy
brought up to know joggerfy, figures,
writing, and spellography, and if you've
got beau and are spooking to the thea
tre one night, a candy pull the next, a
horse race the next, and SO on, your mind
can't be on education. Come, Linda,
we'll go to some other schoolhouse. -
