and work for Republican success by helping
in the nomination of candidates with whom
success is not only possible but reasonably
certain The first consideration, therefore,
must be the fitness of the nominee for the
oaice-mayor, clerk, assessor, or what not
and particularly must there be this adapta-
ton in the candidates for aldermen and
councilmen. A party shibboleth or party
label will not be sufficient; but success will
come from wise adjustment of the man to
the duties to be discharged, and proper appre-
hension of the fundamental fact that the peo-
pie are to be represented both in legislative
and executive officials. The Republican party
can either win notable triumph in October,
or it can throw the chance away. We do not
believe the Republican convention will haz-
ard the latter in order to advance the sup
posed personal interests of any man. Give us
fair convention and a representa- ticket,
one that will commend itself to the
intelligent voters and to the taxpayers inter
ested in good, wholesome, law-abiding, law
executing, prudential, conservative govern
ment, and the election in October will be as
good as decided in advance. To accomplish
this the primary meetings must be largely
attended, and the full force of the great body
of Republican voters exerted from this time
forward, and particularly upon the evening
wher the delegates are chosen.

lice authorities, but by their express permits
sion. 1t is understood that Superintendent
Robbins passed the word to the saloon
keepers that they would be permitted to
violate the law, and he shields himself be-
hind the authority of two commissioners.
This is no trihing matter. If the powers ap-
pointed and relied upon to enforce the laws
are to sell indulgences to w-breakers, we
may as well abandon all efforts at govern
ment at once. If police commits
sioners and police superintendent can set
the laws aside at will and violate their oaths
of office wheneverit pleases them, there is a
very subtle line of demarkation between
government and anarchy. This is matter
to be seriously thought of by every citizen,
whatsoever his business or whatever his
party affiliations. If the city government
is to be openly and officially turned over to
the breakers of law, what guaranty can
there be as to where the license will stop?
1t is too dangerous an assumption of power
to be lightly regarded.

does not deny the fact that at elections system

they are not counted. The system, he says, was
devised for the very purpose of negativing the

THE Logansport Pharos is kicking against

into a support of civil-service reform. The
Democratic party is opposed to that idea,
and the Pharos will eat its crow like good

bricks says the great duty of the next Demo-
cratic President, provided one be elected,
will be to change the one hundred thousand

FOUR years ago a fascinating, but consump-
tive, young man courted Miss Sassaman, then
healthy and blooming belle of Reading, Pa.
After few months the girl fell sick with con-
sumption and died. After mourning for two
years, the consumptiye, but still lively, young
man began to pay devoted attention to the
younger sister OF the deceased, who was also a
robust damsel. She too, however, soon fell into a
decline. Too late for the knowledge TO be of any
benefit to the unfortunate young women, the
doctors said that the disease. in both cases, had
been contracted from inhalation of the breath of
the afflicted sutton The second Miss sassamaa
died, and it a cough that carried her off.
This story is sad, but it need not necessarily
bring despair to the heart of a girl who is pos
sessed OF lung diseased lover. The only pre-.
caution she need take is to keep out of range of
his breath.

gives thought of these people outside of their
efforts to please. We do not often think of
them as the victims of misfortune as i'll or as un-

and to do this only the bright side
forward. But behind this only too often are
suferings and distress, privations that few
dream OF, and genuine troubles that gnaw at
the heartstrings while the face is wreathed in
smiles of counterfeited gladness. In the case
referred to above, the husband and wife, who
have nightly ministered to the qualification of
their audience, have gone to the theater from
the bedside of what appears to be dying child,

tack of brain fever. 1t is surprising that the
