The Republican N..m,uees.

The Republican nomination election
for City Treasurer, and President oftht
City Council; also for members Of the
City Council, and for ward officers came
off on Saturday. Fer the two FIRST
named Offices the present incumbents,
Msssrs. Vincent and Liohtenstein got
all the votes cast there being no oppo,
sition. As these gentlemen have made
honest and efficient officers in the past
their 70 election should not even be in
doubt. In the First, Second and Tenth
wards there vera no nominations made
Tor Council. In the Third Ward
Samuel A. Price, Jr., having made an
efficient Councilman for two years past,
was renom mated. In the Fifth Ward
Henry Evans, present Councilman, was
rsnominated, and Alfred Gawthrop was
nominated to fill the unexpired term of
Aaron Conrad, deceased. Mr.. Evans
has proved his efficiency in the last
two years he was in Council, and Mr..
Gawthrop, though new man, will no
doubt make an able and useful MEM
ber. Our enterprising notion merchant,
Joseph X. Adams, having already
served four years in the Council, re-
ceived the unanimous nomination for
third term from the Sixth Ward, his
election being assured ifRepublicans do
their duty. Out of the number of good
running in the Seventh Ward
an admirable selection was made in the
choice Of Caesar A. Rodney at present of
the Water Commission for the build
ing of Cool Spring Reservoir. An ami
mated election in the Eighth Ward
resulted in the choice Of W. II. White,

Capital selections have been also
made in the Ninth ward, in
he selection of Christian Febiger for
he two year term and David r. Smith
for the one year term. The city was
never better governed than during the
lime Mr.. Febiger was in Council, and it
s hoped that he and Mr.. Smith may
10th be triumphantly elected. In the
Tenth Ward, Samuel G.. Tazew.ll is
he two year candidate and Walter D.
Bush the candidate for one year. The
Tenth is hopelessly Democratic, but if
he citizers wanted to be honestly and
Ibly represented in Council both the
gentlemen named would be elected.

that the Gazette" is deluding its in

will require at least $5, 900 more to put

Chairman Guthrie says he will have
enough money in the Treasury by the
first Of September without borrowing .
dollar to run the city up to the first OF
April, but We are confident that If MIR.
Guthrie is correct the money will
have to come into the City Treasury
from some ,ther source than the tax
levy OF 81 Is.
One thing more We would call atten-
ton to, aud that is that a,tax levy of
sl.20, the same as last year, would
have only raised 1900 more, and
would still not have been sufficient to
have mt the demands Of the city with
out creating floating debt of about
$4,000. This fact suggests also that
even a tax rate of Sl.25 would not be
sufficient, and no matter what party is
in power in the City Council next year,
we are very much mistaken If in order
to meet this years deficiencies and the
current expenses Of next year, a tax
levy even teyond that of $l.25 will
have to be levied. As q condensation
of the foregoing We close with the

The YELLOW FEVER in Memphis has
been declared epidemic, and now there
is no hope for its decrease until it falls
before the fall frosts. As precautions
were not taken last winter TO thorough
ly clean up Memphis, it is hoped that
there will be no neglect the coming
winter, and that a system of drainage
and sewering may be commenced that
will protect il from all future attacks of
the plague. Since it is known precise
ly how such a disease can live over a
winter in mild climate, it is hoped
tae people will no longer permit the
value of a few old rags of clothing to
b. weighed in the balance against the
value of lives and property Of the
whole city. If the old clothes of Mem
phs are not cleaned out with fire this
year it is infaIlibly certain that Mem.
phis will have the fever again next
year. Here is y case where the Nation
al Board of Health could very properly
assume some control. 1t should lose no
time in securing the systematic destruc.
ton by fire of all the old clothes of the
people or otherwise they will be sold
and carried to other points to give the

Malicious Joke of the Nihilists.

of the Gar, the towns of Woronesch

"We are intensely grieved that the
atrccious assassination of your Imperial
Majesty has not taken place.

hitherto undiscovered, the proper ad-
dresses were stolen, and in their places
the revolutionary sentiments already
mentioned substituted. The unsuspect.

the change effected in their literary eff.

What John Sherman would DO.
John Sherman in recent interview al
Mansfield, said:
sim a radical on that election ques-
tion, more than many of my own party,
/ am in favor OF a general lew being
passed by Congress to have the Federal
Government take control Of the Con-
gressional elections. The States should
have nothing to do in conducting them.
Congressmen should be elected by the
people and under the control of the Gen.
eral Government"
"How would you do that 7" asked the
reporter.
II would give 1t into the hands Of the
Courts. They should appoint Supervi-
sors and Marshals, and have the power,
if necessary, to call in the entire army
to keep the peace at the polls. Let the
States hold their own elections as they
please, but let the General Government
have one day in two years to hold its
elections, untrammeled By State interfer-
ence."

sheep Better than Cattle.

There are two sides to all dispute1
questions, and both must be examined il
we would ascertain the truth Asto which
are more proitable-sheep or cattle
location, soil, and other considerations
must be taken into the account in deter
mining. A. Hyde gives, in the Country
Gentleman, some of the advantages the
shepherd possesses over the herdsman,
as follows:
In the first place stock Of sheep
costs less than one Of cattle. A farm
which will carry twenty cows will carry
about eight times as many sheep, and
to stock farm with twenty cows and
corresponding fixtures will require an
outlay of $1,000. An equivalent mum,
ber Of sheep (say 1907 can be purchas-
ed for about half this sum. Again, q
flock of sheep demands much less care
than herd Of COWS. The latter must
be MIXED daily, and the work Of the
dairy-maid in making butter and cheese
is constant, laborious, demanding also
skill OF high order to make it eminent.
ly successful. Then sheep will live and
thrive where COWS would starve, or al
least make poor returns. And almost
every herb that grows, even down tc
Canada thistles, suffices them for food
Pastures are greatly benefited by being
cropped by sheep. They not only keep
down the weeds, but have more fertili
zing materials in their droppings than dc
cows. In the milk of the latter, muct

we'll as nitrogenous matter, is removed
hut sheep carry off only what is on theil
backs. A flock Of sheep also multiplies
