Tue New York Tribune says: "A
good many persons are wondering how
the Democratic politicians can reconcile
their campaign assertions about the sur
plus in the Treasury and Mr.. Manning's
debt statement Of last week. They often
said last fall that the Republicans were
boarding hundreds OF millions, but on
Friday the Secretary could show only
net cash balance In the Treasury OF
about twenty-four millions. There is no
cause for wonder here, on anybody's
part, for the Democratic leaders will
not try to reconcile their contradictory
statements about the surplus any more
than they try to reconcile any Of the
other untruths they told, 1t will be time
enough to wonder II at the end OF four
years OF Bourbon rule the Democrats
have any balance at all to show in the
Treasury"

The Fort Worth Gazstte sums up an
article on gambling in the following SEN
tence: I" Fort Worth to-day is not APP
pealing to a law-making power but Is
confronted with this question: Shall the
law enacted for the suppression Of gam
bling be enforced2 The question is not
whether the law is the wisest, but
whether the law to suppress gambling,
which all men must admit is an evil In
itself, shall be executed. Since no man
can uphold gambling as promotive Of
good, since no man can defend the NOR
ality of gambling, since 1t is not ques-
ton Of what the law should be, and
since all men must advocate the execu-
ton of the laws. there can be no reason
why all men should not indorse the
course of Mr.. Bowlin. Let the law be
enforced"

THE Penitentes of New Mexico are
said by Birge Harrison, fresh writer
on the subject, to number 10000. "A
statue of the Virgin was lately placed in
the centre OF a church, and the floor in
front Of 1t ls strewn knee deep with cac-
tus, whose poisonous spines will some
times pierce the heaviest soled shoes.
Through this bed of thorns the Peniten-
tus march with naked feet or crawl along
on bare knees, calling piteously the
while to the Virgin for forgiveness OF
their sins. AS If this were not sufll-
cient, they soourge themselves with
great punches OF cactus tied together on
throng and slash themselves with
knives. The natural result OF these
horrible exercises is a death now and
then, and many MANNED and pitiable
creatures who drag out a miserable ex-
istenoe for the remainder OF their days"

At the city election next Tuesday week the
citizen voters will be called upon to elect a

the consideration which should determine the

and fairly examined; inquire as to his ability
and unquestioned integrity; let him be placed

full, and intelligent, and where can better
young man in the entire city of Ottawa be Sc
lected to be h0nored with Office than Edward
J. Kelley He has all those qualifications that
would make good city clerk, besides being
gentleman in every sense Of the word. In
view of these indisputable assertions, it fol
lows that he has some claims upon the peo-
pie of this city to give him large vote and that
such will be given him, there can be no doubt
The books kept by him in the Probate Clerks
Office are the envy of all the other depart
ments, and are, without exception, the hes,
aud most systematic ever kept in that office
Any one who knows Ed. Kelly can readily
substantlate the foregoing, as naught has been
asserted Of him but the simple truth, ant
nothing more.
