IT is not complimentary TO me legis-
latiYe branch Of our City Government
that the members of its most important
committee should meet and proceed to
act upon matter involving much money
ko the city without reading the law un-
der which they act. 1t is safe to assume
that such was the case with at least one.
half the Finance Committee In consid-
ering the question of awarding the con.
tract for city advertising yesterday.
This fact is still more inexcusable be-
cause the matter was before Council
long enough for every member, even the
most stupid, TO have made himself ac-
quainted with all the provisions of law
bearing upon the case. There is no COM
plioation, or need be none, II members
desire to act in the interest OF the city.
The facts in a nutshell are these: The
advertisement did not agree with the
facts. AIl the advertising is inserted in
two English papers, and the two
bidding the lowest are entitled to the
contract. The distinction which the ad.
vertisement made about an additional
paper to do certain part of the work, was
one which does not exist in fact. All
the advertising appears, and appears
the same number of times and upon the
same order in the two papers. A very
casual examination Of the question will
convince members of the Committee and
members of Council that such Is the
case. Some OF the members OF the
Committee are under the impression

WHAT is to be thought of members OIL
the Finance Committee that propose to
make an importlnt contract for the city
without reading the law under which
they act? Would they be as careless in
the transaction OF their private affairs
1t is probably true that carelessness and
stupidity have lost this city more than
downright knavery.

THE nomination of Bishop for Govern
or, IL now appears, was more the result
OF accident than anything else. Bishop
was not the choice OF a majority OF the
delegates, and really had no show for a
nomination when members of the Con-
vsntion began to arrive at Columbus.
General w ards chances Were de-
cidedly the best, and but for the
organization OF the Ewing STAN
pede, he would now b. the candi-
date. When the attempt to force Ewing
upon the Convention was determined
upon, the opponents of his greenback
beresies felt that the movement must be
beaten. They agreed that it would be
better to nominate any one OF the other
candidates than to let this movement
succeed. Accordingly, when the stam-
pcde for Ewing was attempted, Bishop
being highest, received the benefit oil this
determination. Cuyahoga, near the com

vote Tor Bishop in accordance with the
determination to see that Ewing was
not nominated. 1t turned cut that
Iwibg's strength was not enough to
Lave created panic had it been under
stood. The fight might have gone on and
resulted in The selection OF Gen. Ward,
but for the oVeresLimate of Ewiug's vote
and the settled purpose not TO let him
be made the nominee. Mr.. Bishop is
therefore on the ticket as the result of a
victory over the intlationists.

THE dog days are nearly here. In
olden times it was believed that at this

though to get rid of worthless ours. One
Of the difficulties in all parts Of the coun-
try is too many dogs. Thin them out.

Martin, the celebrated lion tanner
while staying at Client, in 1925,
noticed among the most constant
attendants at his menagerie young
artist. Martin yearned toward him,
and the two became intimate. One
day the artist, while taking the por-
trait of a noble lion, called Nero,
complained bitterly that the bars of
the Gaze was in his way. "Dont let
that be any obstacle" said Martin;
IF you will come with me into
Nero's apartment and allow me to
introduce you, I will answer for it
that he will show how aattered he is
by visit from 50 excellent an artist,
and will give you every facility for
handing down his features to pos
terity." The artist jumped at the
offer; and Martin, was not the man to
lose an opportunity of advertising
himself, sent word to the Duke of
xe-Weimar, Governor of Client,
and to other notabilities, that he
would on q certain day 60 into
Neros cage and take Gun amateur
stranger" with him. The Duke did
not fail to put in an appearance; the
plucky pair walked into the cage,
and Nero was at first inclined to be
what is called nasty. But treasured
by his masters voice, the lion went
and lay down in q corner and the
painter, sitting down opposite,
cody proceeded to-cut his pencil.
Having performed this little prelim.
mary to his satisfaction, he executed
. sketch Of Nero, which was pro-
to be very like. The
''dempteur" and the painter then
took their leave of the lion; and the
Duke, having complimented the
artist on his pluck as we'll as talent
displayed, would fain have pur-
chased the sketch. But it was not to
be had for money, and the artist
Kept it himself. His name was
Verboeckhoven, afterward famous
IS a Belgian animal painter. How
much of his success he owed to his
laring feat there is NO telling, but
t very likely gave him the start |
which talent requires.

THE TEMPERANCE REVIVAL.

The famous Moody and Sankey
revival which is now in progress in
Boston, promises to be eclipsed by
o revival of another nature in
Western Pennsylvania. A certain
temperance lecturer by the name of
Murphy, with crowd of associates
has succeeded in creating an excite
ment in that section which has never
had a parallel before. Murphy him
self is said to be o man of wonderful
powers. and those who come under
his preaching. are unable to resist
the same. While he is extremely
forcible himself, he is aided by o
number of young men, who organ
ize meetings on the streets, and who
spend q great part of their time in
visiting the Incorporate and con-
versing with them at their homes.
The pledge is the great binding
instrument in the case, and this is
largely signed wherever it is presen-
ted. In one small town not far
from Pittsburg, at least one-fifth of
all the inhabitants have individually
pledged themselves to abstain from
all intoxicating drinks of whatever
kind, while the rem ainder have
subscribed to the usefulness of the
result. Not Q single saloon or drink
ing place is found now in the place,
and this owing chiefly to the efforts
of the temperance people in the in
terest of the cause. Nor is this en-
thusiasm confined to any one place,
but it is far spread in the section we
have mentioned, and the good which
is being done can scarcely be over
estimated by the people at large.
Murphy may be an enthusiast in
his work, but many of his followers
are sincere and religious, and that |
heir efforts at reform may be attend
ID with greater success in the future |
IS everywhere wished.

THE DYING WINTER.

When We come to recapitulate the
habits and accustomed events Of life
with which We have been 00Pterms Of
daily intimacy, with which we have
ouarrelled and found fault, and by
which We have been badgered and
snubbed, and which has taught as tina;
we cannot always gain our own way
save by hard knocks and wearisomo
strugples-eyen this kind of life is
not suddenly lost to US without leav-
ing behind it the pang Of parting and
the heavy void of bereavement. Next
to our love for our loves is our love for
our hates. We have but one quarrel
with our absolute, uncompromisable
enemies, our implacable aversions:
but We return to the charge with an
unnalignant zest, when the wransle
is with an old acquaintance, and we
miss his honest face when he is gone
away from US forever; and We find
how bitter it is to know the hand of
Death. If We have any amends to
make to Winter before he goes away
into the irretrievable Past, we must
speak quickly. If We would ease his
going with . word of comfort, pro-
testation Of kindly regard or tender
regret for hasty words Of disparage-
ment, now is the day: for March, with
his impudent blusierings is about to
whistle the shlvering mockeries of Ia
ment over old grey boards grave. This
is Winters dying day. Not quite yet,
but very soon. '"rhe ELUSIVE South"

The ArOOstOOk Business.

The ranting of the Maine Standard about
Mr.. P. P. Burleigh and the election 10
Aroostook county, also concerning the
action OF the Governor and Council in re-
gard to said election. signifies that space
in the columns of that paper is very cheap.
Mr.. Burleigh became candidate for Sen
ator In Aroostook county by the action OF
the republicans of that county. He was
nominated in convention. and at the cleo
ton received majority of the legal votes
cast. This shows that the republicans OF
Aroostook, who had known all about his
residence for many years, were not only
willing to take him as a candidate for Sem
ator, but believed him eligible, for they
would not have made him their can
didate had they not fully believed in
his eligibility. Ii there is anything in the
conduct of Mr.. Bufleigh as man or can
didate worthy of the abuse which the
Standard heaps upon him we are not able
to see it. He certainly had right to be
a candidate after he was nominated, and
the vote he received, whether he becomes
Senator or not, is substantial tribute paid
him by people who know him at least as
well as the editor of the Standard does.
As to the action Of the Governor and
Council the denunciatons of the Standard
are "hefty." Louisiana, South Carolina
and Mexico furnish it with illustrations.
and the destiny of the nation is made to
depend upon the vote of Madawaska. The
climax comes when the Standard asks the
question whether the Governor and Coun-
Gil would have decided as they did if the
case had been reversed, the democrats
changing position with the republicans.
and answers it by saying. None but
idiots" believe they would. In this ques-
ton and answer the Standard discloses
its own inability to appreciate fairness
and candor in treating the matter. This
case will have the attention of the legisla.
ture. and the facts will then be developed
as to where the fraud lies in this Aroos-
took business.

From the Lewiston Journal.
The ArOOstOOk Case.

The Augusta Journal says that the council, by
a vote of four to three-the governor dissenting
have decided that the returns show that Parker
p. Burleigb received majority OF votes for SEN
ator from Aroostook, but have decliaed to issue
the certificate to him Tor any one else) on the
ground that they find him ineligible to the posi-
lion by reason Of not being resident of the Sem
atorial district. The governor. it seems, differs
from the majority of the council on the latter
point, claiming that the question Of eligibility was
one for the Senate, and not the governor and
council, TO decide and that II simply the duty
of the governor and council to ascertain What per
son appeared from the returns TO be elected, and
then TO summon such person TO attend at the open
ing of the Senate.
We think the governor is right and that re-
peated opinions of the Supreme Court sustain his
construction Of the constitution. The Count has
sgain and again said that the Governor and Coun
cIl, in canyassing votes for Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes, cannot 60 outside OF the legal returns
and If SO, obviously cannot legally receive any tyi
dence bearing upon the question of the eligibility
of any person for whom votes have been returned
Their duty IN the case of Senators and Represen-
tatlves, is SIMPLY TO examine the returned copies
of the lists OF yotes-naking all due inquiry of
course Is to whether they are the legal returns,
and going so far Of necessary as TO ascertain
whether the returned copies agree with the record
anu then to issue summons TO saca persons As
dppeIF 10 be elected bN tnese returns.
An act OF 1877 authorizes the Governor and
Council to 20 SO lar to ascertain whether the
copy of the list of votes returned agrees with the
record. II also authorizes the Governor and Coun-
Gil TO correct the returns and record in OF
alleged incorrect initials as TO carry out the in
tentIon OF the voter. BIT thi. Lac provision is of
questionable constitdonshy far rs It applies to
senators and Repre- senatyes. Another act OF
1877, on which majority OF The Council seem TO
rely, also declares til At person shall be deemed
TO be elected" who Is ineligible. This provision
does not apply to the duties of the Governor and
Council in ascertaning simply whe appear from
the returns 10 be elected senators and Representa-
tIves, but TO the cahvassing of votes for county
officers, in which the Governor and Council De
teImne who ale actually elected. SO far as
Senators and Reprcseu atiyes are concerned, that
is duty imposed, and power reserved, by the
constitution TO the Senate and House when they
shall he assembled, which are then TO determine
who are elected.
This decision of the Council, however ill not
affect Mr.. Burleigh's rights except so far As 10
prevent him from participating with other Sena-
tors IN the organization. As soon as organized,
tue Senate will refer the returns to committee,
and the committee and Senate will have full pow
or TO receive any evidence they may think proper
and decide his case as seems to them just.
