We have been repeatedly asked who
the HERALD favored for Sheriff and
Circuit Court Clerk. We will answer
once tor all. The HERALD has never,
nor ever will it take part in contest
for the Democratic nomination for cOun-
ty offices. Ii would not be the best,
right or proper TO do 50. II might be
excusabie If there was another or other
Democratic. papers published in the
county. We have never even taken an
active part in county races between the
political parties except where We were
forced TO do % IN self defense II is our
wish 10 make a flrsi-class LEGAL paper
out of the HERALD. Such an one as
will be- acceptable and a welcome weekly
visitor 10 every household in the county
and in adjoining counties. While we
are Democratic in principle, and what
we say politically will tend that way, it
will be said very Independently, con-
demning the wrong and approving the
right in whatever party found. Further,
We do no, intend, IL let alone, TO cram
the paper full Of any Kind Of politics.

DOWN WITH THE AWNINGS.

Memphis has outgrown the dimen-
sions and the ways of village, and
should cast off the old clothes that
still hang on her shoulders. When
the town was laid off in the days of
Andrew Jackson, Judge Overton and
Major Winchester, land was sold by
the acre. To give a big appearance,
as well as to have ample room for
COW lots and truck patches, the lots
were laid off large, and the streets
which were mere commons, afford
ing public pasture, were meas
ured off broad and ample, like the
plazas of old Mexican and Spanish
towns. What was omitted in plazas
was more than made up in streets.
These afforded in early days camping
ground and space to turn around in
for the six-ox teams that came in from
Ripley, Somerville and Holly Springs.
The few awnings and the
broad swinging signs in those days
added to the incongruous appearance
of things, and perhaps, like the music
and spangles ola circus, made an i'm
preston on the crowds that came kom
afar to behold the wonders Of the en-
bryo city. But times have changed,
space is more valuable, the city has
been built up, people come to the city
by rail and return to their homes
the same day, and Memphis has
put on the ways of cosmopolitan
centre Of commerce. Main street,
however, which is the pride of the
city and the admiration of all visitors.
Main street was compared to Broad
way, New York, by the ex-president
of the United States, and there is a
resemblance at some points. Yet Main
street is wider than Broadway-wider
than necessary. The sidewalks should
be widened, the street railroad reduced
to a single line, and the unsightly
awnings and swinging signs taken
down. This would wonderfully i'm
prove appearances, and suit the con-
venience and taste of the public at
large. We hope the legislative coun-
Gil will order the awnings and sheds
taken down at once. There will be
grumbling, of course, but the public
will approve the change as soon as it
is made.

The New York Herald, by dint of
self-assertion, as well as by general
accuracy in its weather reports. has
obtained the dignity of weather
prophet in ordinary for the world. 1t
now says, but with reservation (like
a euchre player holding the Jack
guarded), that unless the advance of
spring conditions from the Gulf of
Mexico is unusually vigorous and sus-
tanned, we may expect just such re-
markable contrasts and changes of
temperature as have been keenly felt
at short intervals for the last two
weeks" The high barometer did the
business for us last week. This i'm
mense anti.cyclone, it seems, nearly
circular, with diameter of at least
nine hundred miles, and pressure of
3O.48 inches in its center, then rest
ing over Tennessee, was huge slice
of polar atmosphere that had worked
its way south, there to be stored with
tropic heat and vapor, and thence re-
turned in the circuit of the winds to
warm the high latitudes."

Mr.. Rergh on the TrncI,.

Two mules were taken out Of two
cars at the corner Of Madison street
30 day by members of the society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals.
One mule was very lame, and the
other bad a sore shoulder which could
be seen across the street. The affair
cause some little excitement and con
siderable detention to passengers. AT
one time six cars we're blocked up and
those within were not in the best
humor. 1t is understood that Super
intendent Barrett and not the driver,
will be prosecuted, and that his case
will come up before DR.. Porter to
morrow morning. The i'll treatment
of the miserable, i'll fed little mules of
the street-car company has long been
a matter of remark.
