Comm, fssiOn or no Commission.

The large majority of the voters Of
our city is opposed to "A Water Commits
sion. Were the question Of commits
sion" or ''no commission" divested and
siftod out from all political alliances and
entanglrments, and left to a vote Of the
people upon its merits alone, the Water
Commission would be buried so deep
under public sentiment that il would
hardly dare lift its head again This
plVn, however, cannot be adopted, and
so the only eticctual remedy left to
show the opposition Of the people to a
Water Commission is for them to vote
for u Republican Council. 1t should
not be understood, however, that the
election Of Republican Council will
eiiictually squrlch ont the Water Com
mission. That will depend entirely up
on the courts, and a Republican Coun-
Gil can only keep it from going into
active operation while the case is de-
pending before the courts
The fact that there is prospect that
the Water Commission would be con-
structed on liberal basis, and
of soon falling under Republican super
vision should not be an argument by
Republicans in favor Of the Commits
sion. We haze better appreciation
Of the principles which actuate those
who are opposed TO the commission
than TO suppose that they are governed
in their opposition by narrow partisan
prriudcrs A Water Commission
would be as Objectionable on principl"
in the hands of Republicans as in the
hands Of Democrats. It is obcctiona-
bic as u part Of the city government be
cause it subverts and destroys the
principle of local seli-governm"nt, IT
is an infringement upon the rights Of
the people that the people should not
tolerate. 1t is an insult TO the intelIi-
gencc Of tie people that should be re-
scented by them.
Little hy little the rights ofthe people
have been taken away, and little by
little more will be taken away until
all local rlI.gOvTnncnt will be de-
stroycd. The last Legislature created
Water Commission and II Municipal
Court The people wanted neither Of
them, because at the polls they had
Just decided how they desired theiI
water department to be carried on, and
how the executive authority Of the city
was 10 he administered. Their will il
both cases has been overridden. Thost

who have taken away the power Of the
Mayor, and have created water COM
mission, have but to 60 a step farther
and create Police, Highway and FL
nance Commissions, and then the
subj rgation Of the people will be com
plete.
There would then be no occasion for
a City Council, nor need of going TO the
expense of holding city elections. Ev-
erything could be directed from Dover
through Democratic channels. Are
the people prepared for this? Will
they still cling to partisan bigotry and
vote for the party that is taking away
their liberties and gradually binding
their limbs in the political chains of
slavery? The Democratic party
forged these chains and the process of
riviting them upon the people is pro-
crossing. The Municipal Court chain
is already firmly rivited, but there is
more trouble with the Water Commits
sion fetters. DO the people want more
chains? They can have them by vo-
ting in favor of the party that forged
them.

ValenuinS's Day.

This being the lith day of February
Is, as is well known, Valentines Day,
when love sick swains,o or snitten maid
ems send love messages to each other,
aud increase the labors Of the already
over. worked letter carriers. 1t was
customary in pagan Rome for youths
to draw names in honor of the goddess
Februata Juno on the 18th of February,
and when paganism was abolished, the
honor was conferred on st Valentine, a
bishop who was martyred A. ID. 27O.
1t is also said that on this day the birds
begin to pair.
Oflate years the custom of sending
valentines seems to be, in measure,
falling. into disuse, although there are
still numbers sold and used Many are
very handsome and and expensive, and
the maiden who would fail to be
wrought upon by some of them, must
indeed have a very hard heart There
are another class of valentines that all
sensible persons should leave severely
alone in the hands Of the dealer, viz
hat are known as comic valentines.
There are some persons who care very
little for them, and would not be annoy.
ed il they should receive dozens, but
there are others whose feelings they
wound, and instances have occurred
where their reception has been attended
with serious results.

should be recuperated to degree mot
anticipated, there will be no more long
continued spells of cold weather the
balance of this winter. The proverbial
bone has been in very dilapidated con

storm this morning followed with a
crash of thunder completed the break,
and now we are apparently emerging
into genial spring showers, which We
hope will be mixed with sunshine some

A Wonderful Master Key.

Mr.. Walton, lockmalier. Great Rus
sell street, Birmingham, is about to
exhibit ut the Wolvcrhampton cxhibi-
ton, in Case PAT, n master key which
hc claims to be capable Of opening
22,GOO patent-levcr locks, all the locks
to be different THAT is to say, each Of
the $4,000 locks may be different in its
ward, or combination. The key
weighs three ounces and is nickel
plated. 1t has taken Mr.. Walton, the
inventor, three years to complete the
drawings Of the different wards and
combinations which enable this extra
ordinary product of human ingenuity
to be made. Master keys capable of
opening 100 different combinations
have been known to tho trade for
many years, but nothing approaching
the key in question has ever been ac-
complishcd before. Chicago Tribune.

The Right Kind.

A newspaper proprietor advertised
for IN advertisement canvasser, and
his test of their fitness, us they up-
piled, was to tell them to get out of
the Office that instant OF he would
kick them out. Several timid young
men turned tail and left him in dis
gust, but one, more brazcn- faced than
the rest, nothing daunted by the
threat, coolly sat down and said he
would not go until his testimonials
had been read. So he locked the door,
put the key in his pocket, and handed
in his papers. "Ah," said the adver-
tiser, you'll do, / can soc. I don't
want testimonials, your style is
enough for mo. No one will ever sue
ceed rs IN advertisement canvasscr
who will be Influenced by threat to
be kicked out of any Office"

adelphia plan. They are well-dressed,
good-natured, and jolly-looking men
who are seen together in u box at the
theatre, dining ut q good restaurant,
going to the races on a coach, or run
ming off for two or three days fishing
on yacht. Their bills are paid un-
obtrusively and quietly, but when the
crowd is alone prompt settlement is
had. and cach man pays his own
share
When number of men "whack
up" for dinner it reduces the cost
very much. They can cat u much bot
tor dinner, have more wine aud u
greater variety than when dining
alone, and for less. money. As rule,
the young men who go about town
habitually are not over r-burdened with
funds, and if any one of them at
tempted to entertain all his friends he
would find IL serious drain ON his
purse. That is why the Philadelphia
plan is rcsortcd tc. During the races
at jerome park the hotel coaches are
continually employed by, crowds of
mon who go Oh this principle. The
coaches have moveable seats which
can be arranged on top so that they
look like veiitablc coaching-cl drags
and when drawn by four spanking
bays they make quite presentable
appearance With II crowd of ten or
fifteen men aboard, such n coach us,,-
ally forms very lively sort of pro-
cession. The young men usually chip
in from S3 to SO a piece and make
the solid sum with which they buy Il
horse for winner and n horse for a
place i'll every race. This keeps them
interested nll through the day, and
when they go home they divide the
winnings if there any.
In the same way they arrange yacht
ing trips and excursions to the coun-
try. 1t may not be particularly aris-
tocratic mode Of procedure, but it GER
tainly is much faircr to all concerned
than the indiscriminate habit Of treat
ing, by which tho poorest man in the
crowd is usually impoverished l.
through the proverbial generosity of
poor men and the mean man has no
end OF fun without paying for it.

Tricks Of the Trade.

They do say that sales people in
shoe stores have unique way of de-
ceiving lady customers. Their meth
od is to lay aside pair of shoes to
which some trivial objection has been
made, and bring forth others, which
are tried on without success. Then
tho sales person suddenly remembers
that few hours previous there ar-
rived case Of sample shoes which
have not yet been put upon the mar
kct. After few moments spent in
another part Of the establishment the
attendant comes forth with the first
pair OF shoes condemned, done up in
an elegant box, which is unwrapped
with due ceremony, and the shoes hold
up before the customers eyes in way
that is both tempting and convincing.
"That is new STYLE" says tho sales
person, "and one that will become
popular" "Havc none of them been
sold yeti" asks the customer. mo,
madam; lot me try this one on you.
Alb, that's your fit, and it gives your
foot an uncommonly pretty lookw
Nine times out Of ten tho trick does
the work, and the customer makes the
purchase, all unconscious that she has
shoe which has been in the store
probably for months, and to which
she took exceptions but n short time
before. 1t may be very wicked to
deceive the ladies in this kind of
style, but the seller cases his con-
science by declaring that it is II de-
ception which has done no harm while
it aided him to make sale. --Phila-
delphia Bulletin.
