In the selection of members of the Stand
ing Committee voters should exercise some
care. The position should be given to
those who will attend carefully to the duties
of the office, and particularly TO hose who
have proved their fidelity to the Democratic
party and its nominees in the past. No
man, who opposed any part of the ticket
last year, should be honored by an election
to this committee, nor be sent as a delegate
10 the convention this year The discipline
of the party requires that those who ask
for the honors of the party should adhere
strictly to the ru'es.

He climbed up the braces and stood for Il

right hand pressed closely to his side, he
sprang into the air and shot down with
fearful rapidity. When some distance from
the water he doubled up his legs and struck
the water in that way. Heremained under

but will never make the jump again.

been located there, and there has been
trouble and rioting on account of their
persistence in parading, with singing and
music on Sunday. Inc Councl a few
weeks ago passed an ordinance prohibiting
this, and for time the Salvationists were
quiet. On Sunday they turned out in
great force, and marched through the
streets, singing, shouting and humping
tambourines. Monday evening Burgess
Laderick issued warrants and the captains,
lieutenants and two of the leading soldiers,
were arrested by posse of constables.
This proceeding created the widest eX'
citement. The streets were crowded with
an agitated throng, who seemed to sympa'
| thize with the Salvationists. They blocked
| the streets around the Burgess office and

Now that the not, sultIy days are upon
us, it behooves all who have charge OF
horses to sec to it that they are properly
watered. Carelcssness in this particular
will cause untold suffering upon the part
of these poor beasts, who have no way of
making their wants known. And not only
in the matter of water shor'd care be excr-
cised, but burdens should not be so great
as in cooler weather. A horse, like Idan,
feels the effect of the broiling sun of hot
summer day, and should not be compelled
to bear unnecessary, or too heavy burdens.
A so shoulders should be carefully watched
as the moisture of skin produced by per-
spiration tends to make it soft and suscep.
tble to the press of collars against them,
and only brute will compel brute TO
work with CALLED shoulders. A man who
is not careful of these dumb brutes in his
charge should be deprived of their use. DC
