keepers jojled. At their last meeting
they resolved to sign petition to the
city board asking that all saloons be re
qCired to close at Ii o'clock P. n.
The Milwaukee saloonkeepers may
learn a good lesson from their brethren
of Manitowoc, and stop an agitation that
will ultimately end in disaster to them.
The Pilot commends the action of these
men to all persons engaged in a like
business in cities throughout the state as
worthy of imitation.
The Pilot learns that they have gone
still farther. and ask that licenses be
refused to all persons who do not keep
orderly and respectable places, and that
the law be enforced against the sale of
liquor to minors. And also that the city
board revoke the license of any and all
persons who disregard these prohibi-
tions.
Such movements as this throughout
the state will put an end to prohibition.
1t is much to the credit of Manitowoc
that the movement has originated here.

THE NEW AND THE OLD.

George Pankratz the new mayor is a
mill owner and man respected wherever
known as blunt, honest, sensible man.
He always speaks his mind and he is
invariably on the side of decency. He
is a German by birth, but intensely
American in his feelings. He never yet
acted against his convictions and is no
politician, never having accepted nomi-
nation willingly. He will make a good
mayor and very independent one.
Mr. Schuette has served the city long
and well. He has been unsparing of his
time and gave the duties of the Office
fully as much attention as if 1t were his
own private business. He retires from
the office carrying with him the respect
and gratitude of the people, and he GER
tainly has earned both.

THE RESULT IN THE CITY.

The election of Tuesday is in many
respects an anomalous one. 1t is re-
vointion In great many respects and
the issues were largely personal or
business ones. Party was, to great ex-
tent, lost sight of and other questions of
less public nature were the shaping in
fuences. The city for the first time
elects a democratic mayor. The city
council is democratic, standing 7 to 6
backed by a democratic mayor. The
Third Ward went very strongly demo
cratic except in the case of Wickert and
Mulholland. The latter was merely a
passive candidate and did not desire the
election. Henry Wiz vote is almost
phenomenally large but he can always
count on the endorsement of his neigh
bors. His political strength in the ward
III which he lives is extraordinary, al
though he dislikes politics and never yet
was willingly candidate for Office.
The vote in the city is as folio rs:

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FURNISH
INGS.

With the advent of spring and house
cleaning season the mind of the thrifty
housewife naturally wanders to the sub
ject Of new carpets and house furnish
ing, and the fact once settled that a new
outfit must be forthcoming, the next
question presented is, where to buy and
what kind to select. A Pilot reporter
took occasion to call at Torrisoh's the
other day with note book in hand, bent
upon getting some information as to
style, quality, ETC., of carpets and curtain
goods for the present year. He found
large portion of the front of this elegant
establishment filed with ingram, three.
ply, tapestry, Brussels, body Brussels,
Velvet and Moquet carpets ranging in
price all the way from Is cents to 81 So
per yard and among the various grades
some very handsome styles of each.
Next to carpets, rugs come in for share
of attention as furnishings, as they are
indispensable to well furnished room.
The assortment of this line of goods was
found to be complete and made up of
numerous elegant pieces. A new de-
parture in the trade of this city is a line
of upholstery goods comprising cretons,
pushes and silks, both plain and figured,
as high as $500 per yard. Some lovely
specimens of these goods are exhibited in
the show windows this week and cannot
fail to attract the attention of every
passer-by who appreciates the beautiful
in goods of this variety. Besides these,
a stock Of Nottingham laces, sold by the
yard, and handsome curtains by the pair
make up line of goods that cannot fail
to please the most fastidious seeker after
something with which to beautify bis
home. While the variety and quality
of these goods compare favorably with
the stocks kept in the larger cities, the
prices will be found to be as low Or even
lower, and no one need go out of town TO
make selection that viii give him or her
areputation for good taste. Mr.. Tori
son invites an lEGspection of his goods and
oe'ieF'S- lie can make prices satisfactory.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARPETS.

How are Carpets divided into the diff
ferent lines, and what do these lines con.
sist of? In the first place, there are the
Moquettes, Velvets, Body Brussels, Tap
estry Brussels, Three Ply, Two Ply and
the cotton mixed goods. The Moquettes
are similar to the Velvets. but the pile in
the former is much longer than that of
the latter. There are several grades of
Moquettes, and we carry these inclu-
ding the best. Body Brussels do not
have the threads clipped or sheared like
the Moquettes, but woven like the Tap
estry Brussels, except that their wooden
threads are woven clear through the back,
therefore containing much more wool,
while the WOODEN threads of the latter lie
mostly on the top, the back of the carpet
being perfectly grey, the hemp only be-
ing visible. Of beth the Boy Brussels
and the Tapestry Brussels there are
many different grades, and we now have
better grades than were ever brought
here before. The Three Ply and Two
Ply Ingrains are made in over twenty
different brands and grades, the extra
Supertine" is not always the same quail
lty by far, for there are the different
brands, and even the Extra Superfine"
with cotton chain which is often mistaken
for the ali wool goods, but are cheaper,
of coarse; SO whenever you have Extra
Superfne" quoted to you, let them send
you sample and investigate the quality
We have line of these goods that we
can stand by for your protection.

TEACHERS quite often find school
boards Indifferent to complaints made of
dlsobedient and manageable pupils.
Teachers have been advised by the su-
perintendent to procure the expulsion of
any pupil who is incorrigible and whose
attendance is a constant menace to the
good order of the school. A late deci-
sion of the Vermont supreme court al
lowed the teacher full wages for the term,
though she gave up the school because
the board insisted on her allowing a dis
obedient pupil to attend school. Expul-
sion is last resort, but when the good
of the school demands it there should be
no hesitancy in going to that extreme.
SOME persons in the city have ques-
toned the truth of the statement that
pending The railroad election in this
county those who advocated bonding the
county usad the argument that the stock
would in time cancel the Indebtedness
and that after the road was IN good run.
ming order the dividends would discharge
the annual interest. There are several
people in Meme who still recollect
these promises. Three prominent gen.
tlemen, lawyers from the city, delivered
speeches from the veranda of hotel
near the Irish Catholic church and two
if not all of them offered this same as
surance. The writer was one of the
audience and heard the argument used.
