The ClfyCaucus.

Monday evening, this week, the vot-
ers of the city of Lancaster met at
Hyde's Hall, for the double purpose of
hearing the annual report Of the city
council, and of nominating ticket for
the city council to be elected the next
day.
The report was read by the Mayor.
Mr.. Barlow called attention to the fact
that the report said nothing Of the mat
ter of repairing the cemetery and
building sections house there, which
had been voted at the last annual meet
ing
The Mayor referred to the judgment
in the McLimans case, and said it would
be proper to discuss the best manner of
raising money to pay it.
Some question being raised as to the
power of the city to borrow money or
issue bonds, Judge Clementson said
there was way to arrange it without
borrowing or issuing bonds. The judg
ment could be assigned to some one
who would be willing to take his pay in
installments. The assignment would
be as good and secure as bonds.
After considerable discussion mo-
ton by Mr.. Pollock, that the incoming
council be requested to try to procure
such an assignment to be payable in an
nual installments at per cent. or less,
81 900 year to be raised by tax and
as much more as possible paid from the
city revenues, was carried.
The matter of the cemetery fund was
again brought up, and Judge Clement
son said that his administration as
Mayor had been referred to in this con-
nection, but the money spoken of had
been taken from the cemetery before
his term. 1t ought to be refunded.
He moved that the incoming council be
requested to appropriate 800 from the
city fund to repair the cemetery and
build the building mentioned Carried
The meeting then proceeded to nomi-
nate officers. On the informal ballot
for mayor, Ed. NJ Lowry received 60,
John Schreiner As and Mrs McLimans
1. On the formal ballot Lowry re-
ceived 20 and Schreiner 81 The follow
ing were then nominated for aldermen:
A. +. Morse, Chas. Basford, Rufus
Hannum and Thos Orion. T. +. Bald
win was nominated by acclammation for
justice.
A. c. Morse nominated f. M. Lowry
for supervisor. E. Pollock nominated
J. G. Clark, and eulogized his former
services to the city in that capacity.
Mr.. Stone said the office of supervisor
contained all the honor and profit, and
to put Mr.. Lowry in for mayor and not
for supervisor would be an outrage.
MIR. Lowry was unanimously nominated.

AT SCHOOL AT FoUR.-It was evident
from the discussions at the State
Teachers Association that the origin al
intention, as well as the present object,
of the constitution in allowing school
attendance at the age of four years,
was to give such cities as wished TO do
so an opportunity to provide kinder
garten instruction two or three hours a
day to very young children. We doubt
if intelligent lawmakers of the state
ever contemplated having infants of
four years prattling and crying in an
ordinary schoolroom; and we are
thoroughly convinced that such a
policy is neither for the good OF the
children, nor the teacher, nor the
school. No other arguments than q
visit to school where such young
children are present, are neces-
sary to enforce this conviction.
We earnestly advise parents at Lam
caster to retain their children at home
till they are six or at least five years of
age.

than the former, and the young should
be taught that habitual hardness will
be grave fault through life. But we
believe it to be mistake and a wrong
to induce pupils to remain at home
simply TO avoid being tardy. Ii a
student either through necessity or
carelessness is about to be late, it will
not help his habits or his studies to
stay away entirely. Some teachers err
in this direction.
