There is no time for idle indulgence
this year. Every family must do its
duty in regard to cleanliness. The
board of directors can only direct
matters and see that the sanitary law
is obeyed, otherwise the actual work,
cleaning and keeping clean, depends
upon every individual. We have
been informed the health officer has
visited the Jail hospital, poor house,
and great many other places. So
let us remember that modern quaran-
tine means nothing more than thor

must be observed everywhere.

Geo. deb. Klein and the Treasury.

The time comes on apace when
we are again to re-elect standard
bearer for the portfolio of the Treas
ury Department for the city. Several
names have been suggested. The
most formidable are those of Mr..
Lawrence and Mr. G. deb. Klein.
The gentlemen beth stand in good
repute ii. point of ability, Republi-
canism and gentlemanly acquire
ments, but in point of executive
ability we are prepared 10 speak as
regards Mr.. deb. Klein, who for two
years has been our sheriff. We have
had our Leeds, Howell, Taylor and
Wright, and we would thank any
one to point to any one of these ex-
cellent men who have directed the
affairs Of said office more successfully,
economically and judiciously and
satisfactorily than the present incum-
bent, Mr.. deKiem. He has dis
played superior executive ability, has
the confidence of the masses, is
thoroughly reliable and honorable.
with these commendable traits. all
of when found in one person becomes
rarity, why not select him as the
custodian of the exchequer of this
great municipality. So far IS per-
tains TO other aspirants, we admit
that their written characters are good,
that being thus far the limit of our
knowledge; but of the practical, per-
sonal as we'll as written character of
MIR. Keim, we are fully posted, and
should with many rejoice to see him
chosen for 80 responsible position,
feeling assured that no better selec-
ton can be made. Indeed the Re-
trust they may exercise discretion
and not have a REPETITION of past
errors in this case. We have excel
lent material, let us utilize 1t. With
Mr.. Keim for Treasurer, we predict
an administration of affairs that all
will gladly applaud.
