IT MAKES 4 DIFFERENCE.

The other day a tramp found a real
female rhilanthropist in Detroit. She
felt sorry for him, and fed him, and
said she knew that lie was the victim
OF misfortune. and there were tears in
her eyes as she gave him an old vest
q told him to return next day and
get the coatto match. He told her Of
losing his family by a steamboat explo-
sion)of having his home taken away
on a mortgage-of being a wanderer be
fore whose eyes the lost wife and pre-
cious children were ever appearing to
keep his heart big. and his courage
down. and if he had remained five min
utes longer she would have wept out
right.
He went away thinking what a soft
thing he had on this cold world, and a
day or two subsequently he returned
for the coat. The painters had been at
work and just finished the floor of the
veranda. AS there was no board up
the tramp walked up the steps and mar
ched the whole length of the freshly
painted floor, and raped at the door,
with his mouth puckered up into the
proper m%ournful expression. 1t was
opened by the woman, but she had no
smiles nor tears.
"Get off that paint, you good for
nothing" she yelled-s.Get ont o. here,
you villain !"
MADAM. that coat you"
''I'll coat you! Look at your feet

He was still looking holding up first
one foot and then the other. when the
handle of broom cracked across his
back and he felt obliged to slide.

as he stood on the grass.

The tramp moved on to the front.

a shade tree he surveyed the house and

n CITY

The candidates for councllmen who
are TO be chosen tomorrow will be
voted upon and elected at large. This
ought to be generally understood.
The system Of letting each ward name
q candidate In the party conventions
was not contemplated by the trainers
of the city charter. In fact the very
object Of the proviso which compels
their election at large, or by the vote
Of all the wards, was to take the nom.
~iratlon of candidates for the council
out of the hands Of the ward caucus
and 70 insure the election OF q higher
grade Of men such as would prove &C.
ceptable to the entire city.
Every citizen In to.morrow's cleo
ton will be entitled to vote for six
councllmen. 1t ought to make no differ
once from what ward they have been
nominated. The only question that
can present itself Is the choich OF six
honest, intelligent and capable men.
From the twelve or yfteen names pre-.
sented ak such men can be readily &C.

better, taken all In all, than might
have been expected. In some re.
spects 1t Is an improvement ON the
democratic nominations, notably In
the candidates for the council and the

Briefly, 1t may be ssid that where
tho democratic ticket Is weak the
republican ticket is strong, and where
the democratic nominations ere
strong the republican candidates are
weaker.
Colonel Chase's nomination was o
foregone conclusion the moment that
Judge Savage accepted as the demo.
cratic candidate for the mayorality.
