THE resolution introduced in the Board
of Aldermen by Mr.. Tucker, providing for
the election of city officers on the second
Monday of November, 1888, ought not to
pass There is certainly no law for it, and
there is every reason, in decent regard for
the amenities of the city government, that
the choice OF officers should be left to the
newlv-elected Aldermen and Councimen, If
it can be done. The law seems to be clear
that the joint-couvention of the two bodies
can elect only ION the second Monday even
ing in November after the first annual
meeting of the Council" With the diff
culties that may arise, because of the confu-
sion of the several statutes, we do
not deem it necessary to deal to reach
the conclusion that the old Board and Coun-
! Gil should not make an effort to project
themselves or.their power beyond the statu-
tory limit of their terms of Office The terms
of the present officers all run, by the provis-
ions of the new law, until the LIST OF January
next and, in the meantime, some thorough
fare may he discovered out of the apparent
ENHANCEMENT surrounding this question.
But it will not be in good form neither will
it receive any degree of popular appreciation
for tue existing boards to do as Mr.. Tucker

IT is reported that Mr.. George J. Gould and
one of the Aston girls are to be married, which
alliance will unite two colossal fortunes, and, as

CHIEF JUSTICE COLERIDGE, in his address be-
fore the students of Yale College, declared
strongly in favor of the study of the ancient
classics as the foundation of literary excellence
and power. He said:

and wasted many hours of precious time; but
one thing / have done which l would do over
again, and the hours which have spent at it are
the hours which have spent most profitably,
ana the knowledge thus gained have found the
most useful. and practically useful. From the
time left oxford have made it q religion, SO
far as could, never to let a day pass without
reading some Latin and Greek. and 1 can tell
you that so far as my course may be deemed II

and believe that what little success has been
granted to me in life has been materially aided
by the constant study of the classics, which it
has been my delight and privilege all my life to

SOME Indianapolis people Will be pleased to
learn that retribution in the shape of sheriff
has at last caught up with their old acluaint-
ance, ''Madame Marie Durand" She was ar
rested on Friday at Cory, Pa, where she was
known as Madame Russell, on The charge OF OBJ
tanning money and goods under false pretenses
and CT defrauding hotel keepers. Her confidence
games have been successfully played in many
towns since she favored this city with visit,
and in each one she was extensively written up
after her departure. In view OF the notoriety
which such frauds obtain, and the publicity
given to their methods it seems strange that
they can continue to find victims. If newspa-
per reading were universal this could not be
the case. 1t is the man who does not read who
is the inevitable and the proper prey of swim
dlers.
