Municipal Elections.

CLEVELAND, April S-fhe municipal cleo
ton in this city passed Off very quietly Mon.
day. The vote was not as large as that cast
last November. The Republicans elect their
city ticket, with tho exception of Axworthy
Oemocrat) for city treasurer and Hutchins
Democrat police judge, having small ma
jorities. Republican majorities range from
1900 to 1000. George w. Gardner tRepub-
lican) is elected mayor by a majority of
3,S4S over Waldermar Otis, his Democratic
opponent. The Republicans elect seven Of
the nine aldermen. and have majority Of
ton in the city council
CHICAGO, April S.-City election returns
received from a number of towns in Iowa,
Illinois, and other states, SHOW that in
Illinois there was very little political signif-
canoe in the contests. IN the other states
the Democrats carried Dubuque, Battle
Creek, jackson, Holland, kalamazoo, and
Lapeer The Republicans made n clean
sweep at Keokuk, electing James C. Davis
mayor. Wolcutt, the Republican candidate,
was chosen mayor of Columbus, Ohio.
CINCINNATI, April s. The entire Republi-
can ticket was elected Tuesday with the ex.
ception of police judge, which is still in
doubt The returns are not all in, but indi.
cations are that Caldwell, Republican, is
elected by small majority.
TOLEDO, Ohio. April S.-Monday's NUM-
cipal election resulted in the choice of the
Republican city ticket, except mayor and
police commissioner, by majorities ranging
from II to 700.

A CORRESPONDENT says he some time
ago had occasion to call upon the editor
of morning newspaper. The first day
he called he sent in his card and waited
in an outside room for half an hour until
his patience was exhausted and he left.
The next day, thinking the great man
would not be so busy, he called again. A
white>haired old man barred his progress
and insisted on knowing what he wanted
to see the editor for. Getting no satisfac-
ton he disappeared with the card into
some mysterious and hidden sanctum.
The correspondent waited there patiently
for ten or fifteen minutes Nobody came
and everything was silent except the
wagons and carriages on the street below,
from which sullen roar assembled. Pas
thence being exhausted the correspondent
left. He called the next day with the
same result-and right here it may be
well to explain that he was not trying to
collect bill. Two other days he called,
and the word came out after the waste of
much valuable time that the editor was
busy" At last, after weeks endeavor,
he caught two minutes conversation with
the great man just as he was going out
to dinner. A week ago the correspondent
was in Washington and called at the
white house to see the-president of the
United States. He sent in bis card, and
In minute Colonel Lamont, opening a
door, said to him. walk right In which
he did, and had as much conversation

whole week was consumed in an effort to
see the editor of newspaper

THERE is disputed boundary question
between Columbia and Costa RIGA on the
frontier line of the latter and the state of
Panama Should Barrios succeed in his
venture and consolidate the five Central
American states into one republic, or
rather autocracy. it would not be difficult
for him to move effcctually against Pans
anna. BY the way, that state has dis
turbing claim against De Lesseps and the
Panama canal company. The Panama
railway company was to pay the state, if
sold to other parties than the original in
corporation, round sum of nearly So,
100000 The company pay annually
$500,00 for their concession and privi-
leges. The canal people have bought a
controlling interest in the road, but claim
not to have thereby bought out the COM
pany. OF course this is one of those legal
fictions with which it is always sought by
corporations to evade pecuniary obliga>
tiOns.

testified previously that he himself had per-
formed the money order business during the
period when it was supposed the irregulari-
ties were going on. The president adds:
shall do all in my power to rid the public
service of officials who exhibit such loose
ideas Of their duty to the government. The
fact that have before me documents signed
by many residents of the city where this
postmaster is located, who belong to both
political parties, asserting their entire conf
dence in his honesty and fidelity, demon
strates the unfortunate facility with which
such papers may be obtained, and gives rise
TO an unpleasant suspicion touching too
prevalent standard of political honesty.
The postmaster general said that the sem
ate committee had been given the papers in
the case for examination. The facts are
plainly shown, he said. by the official report
of the inspector, made during the term of
President Arthur. and are open to no sus-
picion of partisan or personal unfriendli'
ness

THE Turkish soldiers are armed with
what is probably the finest military rifle
in the world-the Peabody Martins
Henri. These guns, to the number of
600,00 were manufactured few years
ago in this country, where Turkey buys
nearly all of her supplies. The contract
was awarded to the Providence Tool
company, of Providence, r. l., and the
price paid for the guns was such a good
one that the Tool company ought to have
made a million or two dollars out of the
job. Instead of that, however, the affair
was mismanaged, the company lost mons
ey, and soon afterwards failed. The guns,
however, were very superior weapons.
They were made on the principle of the
Martini Henri rifle with which the Eng>
lish troops are armed, and had an addi-
tional advantage in popularity of the
barrel invented by man named Peabody.
The cartridges were made in New Haven
and Bridgeport. These guns and car
tridges were used in the Russo Turkish
war, and with them the Turks, who are
gallant fighters, enjoyed an immense adj
vantage over the Russians, who carried
the old Snyder rife. The Snyder would
not carry over 800 yards with accuracy,
whereas the Turks could open fire on a
Russian battalion 1900 yards off, which
would be cut to pieces and annihilated
when it got within firing distance of its
