GROWING INTEREST IN CITY ELEC.
TIONS,

The tendency of democratic institutions
when properly managed, is to decontraliza-
ton, allowing each community just so far
as can possibly he done, to look out for and
control its own interests. This tendency is
seen in the United States in the growing
Importance of municipal governments and
constant accretons OF powers in almost an
nual amendments to the various charters.
Just now the cities of st. Louis, Chicago
and Cincinnati are making their NOM
nations and preparing for another
fight over the municipal Offices
The interests is growing in the mat
ter daily in those cities, and the contests
promise to be as warm as any they have
in their history from time to time. There
ia one noticeable feature with refer
ence to their nominations and the
same feature is becoming common TO all
municipal elections. While party nomina
tons are made, more care is exercised in
the selection of their candidates for tn,
mayoralty at least than with reference tC
any other office, state or Federal, Theil
mayors and candidates for mayor are gen
orally the very best and most prcgressiv,
men. Tho TACT itself indicates tho growing
estimation In which municipal powers ant
interests are held, and tho recognized ncces
sity therefore for men in the service of th,
city Of ability, standing and personal in
tegrity, The fact il encouraging to tn
whole country, when we consider the in
creased importance and part that cities nos
assume and play in political, social aut
business affairs. Their business prosperi,.

Two Canine BromIOs,

Mr.. Mccormick was walking down town,
not so much in the interest OF his business,
which runs itself, nor for thepersonal bene-
fit of the physical exercise, but that the walk
might tend to reduce the undue ileshiness OF

PERHAPS no man was less understood III
su.ne respects than the late BEN Hill, of
Georgia. For instance, it has been very
generally believed, even in the south, and
almost universally asserted by the northern
press, that he was originally u strong seces-
sionist. The eulogies delivered and some
biographical sketches published since his
death, have put that matter on true record.
SO too, of many other features and charac-
teristiCs in the life of this gifted man.
Probably the oloarest exposition of his
character is that made by Hon. OLiN WELL
horn, q brother Georgian in his eloquent
eu,ogy delivered in the house of represent
atves last January Not only is II faithful
portraturo there given, but the reader will
find in IL clear cut delineation and analy-
sis of all his prominent traits as civilian
soldier, jurist, advocate and statesman, and
the splendid tribute copied in so many pa
pers will be found in this mornings issue
of the HERALD. This eulogy by our own
gifted congressman and orator was at the
time offs delivery regarded as decidedly
the best and most eloquent made in the
! lower house aud served to add much to the
growing reputation of COLONEL WELLBoRN
in Washington.

The New York Sun: "for weeks We
have heard offloods following floods in the
western rivers. First II was the Ohio that
burst its banks, then some of the smaller
rivers oyeyilowed, and finally the Missis-
sippi began to flood the low lands along Its
course. The news from the inundated dis
tricts has been distressing, and the long con-
tinuance OF the floods has made the outlook
there very gloomy, Nov, however, the
Mississippi is falling, and the news from
Arkansas yesterday was that, although the
swollen waters had receded but one inch in
dozen hours, yet this indication that the
turning point had been reached inspired
the inhabitants of the river shores with
cheerful feelings, and caused business to re-
sumo its wonted activity. Everybody will
be glad to hear this news. The rivers have
taught very costly lesson, and have done
II in such manner that ii will probably
not be soon forgotten. Now let something
be done to preserve the forests, and so
guard against more serious floods in the flu
ture.n IL is becoming an extensively ac-
copied theory that the rapid destruction OF
American forests is one of the chief causes
ofthe numerous Hoods If such be the case
il is an add tional reason for the preserva'
ton OF our valuable timbered belts.
