TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The Democrats didn't get all they
wanted in the city election Tuesday,
yet there is no special reason why any
body should feel discouraged over the
result, or that anybody should wear
election took. The Democrats retain
possession of the executive offices while
the Republicans elect a majority of the
city'S legislative body. 1t is matter of
regret that the Democrats were not able
to pull through the whole of their eX-
cellent aldermanic ticket: still it is a
matter of congratulation that, inasmuch
as the opposition were to gain partial
success, they succeeded in electing good
men.
1t is never worth while to cry over
split milk, so no possible good could re-
suit now from attempting to explain the
Democratic reverSes in the city election,
even if there were an explanation TO give.
The Democrats seem to have done bet
ter in the way of registering than
voting. Over 5000 registered voters
failed to vote at the election, and on the
face of the returns it looks as if the
delinquent vote were principally among
the wOrkingmen. This is accounted
for by the provision of the new cleo
ton law which does not permit the polls
to be opened until o'clock, after the
wOrkingmen have all gone Off to their
days work. They do not quit work
until o'clock in the evening, and by
the time they get home and show up at
their voting precinct, the polls are
either closed or they find such crowd
in front of them they are unable to get
their ballots in before o clock, the time
for closing.
But whatever may be the causes for
Tuesdays result, the result itself will
be no occasion for heart-burning.
Mayor SMITH enjoys the confidence Of
all classes of our citizens, and they feel
assured that during his administration
good and economic government is as
sured. Messrs. REFS and ROCHE are
old heads at the city's financial desk,
and there will be no apprehension that
any of the public funds will go astray
during their terms of Office.

SPRINKLE THE STREETS.

Now that the validity of the street
sprinkling assessment has been affirmed
by the supreme court, it is to be hoped
that council will give its immediate
attention to devising some plan for
keeping the dust laid during the coming
summer months. Summer is almost
here, and there is no time to lose. I'm
less something better can be suggested,
let the plan adopted last summer be re-
peated and the contracts for the street
Sprinkling be Immediately let. If street
Sprinkling is a local Improvement, as
the supreme court holds it to be, then
there should be no controversy about
the justice of paying for the sprink-
ling by levying assessments on
the property benefited. 1t is probable,
however, that the sprinkling can be
done cheaper this season than last, at
less cost to the property There
is no reason why the city should not
furnish the water free. The water is
here in abundance and the people have
already paid for 1t. We fail to see the
justice of compelling property owners
to pay twice for it only to swell fund
which has to be provided for by gen
eral tax anyway. 1t is true the water
is charged directly to the contractor
who has the contract for street sprink-
ling, but the property owner pays for it
indirectly because the contractor al
ways includes the cost of the water in
his estimates. 1t is only just that the
property holder be relieved from this
unnecessary tax, and that at least to the
extent of the cost of the water his asses
ments be leSsened.
1t has been suggested that the city
could make a further saving to the
property holders by owning its own
sprinkling carts. This, however, is a
matter which the council can best de-
termine after looking into it, But with
out regard to whether the work can be
done at less cost this season than last,
let the work be done. The few days
dusty streets that we have already had
this spring were sufficient to unity pub
lie sentiment i'll favor of street sprink-
ling

SCHEFFER'S SKILL.

ALBEIT SCHEFFER has evidently
created CONSERVATION in the ranks of the
MERRIAM and MCGILL factions with his
Herman convention. 1t was the first
positive indication they had of the
earneStness with which Mr.. ScHEFFER
is conducting his campaign; and as it
was such a brilliant exhibition of skill
in political maneuvering, a quality that
they had never credited him with pos
SeSSing. the other factions are naturally
alarmed at the prospect before them.
1t is queer fight that Mr.. SCHEFFER
is making, anyway. There was never
anything more illogical. but as this is
an era of political surprises when the
unexpected is always happening, there
is no telling what the outcome of the
SCHEFFER scheme is to be. 1t is a big
job he has undertaken, that of convert
ing the Republican party in this state
into an organization for the estab-
lishment of Democratic doctrine. Yet
these are times when party lines draw
lightly on the mass Of the people, who
look more at the merit of things than
at abstract definitions; ana it is
plODdbll Will llllS luCd Ill llllllu
that Mr.. SCHEFFER has started in on
the herculean undertaking of bringing
the Republican party bodily into the
Democratic column. That would vir-
tuaily be the result in case he succeeded
in capturing the Republican nomination
for governor. With ALBERT ScHEF-
FER at the head of the Republican
ticket on Il platform indorsing the
CLEVELAND administration, the BLAINE
protectionistS would be compelled to
take to the woods.
And yet if Mr.. SCHEFFER keeps on
with his skillful political operations in
the way he has started out, he is likely to
bag his game. Four congressional and
seventeen senatorial districts were rep
resented in his Herman convention.
This shows that the SCHEFFER boom is
pretty well diffused over the state. 1t
is known that plan of organization
was adopted at that convention by which
; ScHEFFER workers are to be located in
every county in the state, with instruc-
tons to invade every Republican county
convention, and to capture delegates
to the state convention. There will I'M

HISTORY OF THE BUsTLE.
Waists Descended from the Arm
pits and Bustles Added.

Argonaut.
Until 1925 the female waist was Or
dained by dressmakers to be just under
the armpits; and hustle, when such
style of costume prevailed, would have
been, not dress improver,
but a hump. Short waists possessed,
also, one substantial advantage-they
put an end for time to
tight lacing. and sixty years ago a pair
of stays was the most innocent of bod
ices. The highest authorities on cost
ume seem to have inclined to the Opin-
ion that the hustle, which undeniably
came from Paris, was reaction among
the ladies of the French aristocracy
against the pseudo-classic robes of the
revolution and the empire.
The ladies of the courts of JOsehine
and Maria Louise dressed much more
decently than the marveileuSes of the
directOire had done, still David and the
artists of his school were the real az
biters of fashion until 1915: nor could
short waists and dresses clinging to the
limbs be entirely eradicated from the
female fashionable wardrobe until the
Restoration was waning. The battle
was fought and the victory won
year or two before the deposition of
Charles y. and, as regards the garments
VI tilc ldiI ScA, Vic Change otiiiloS6
amounted to a metamorphOSiS: the
waist descending from its bad altitude
between the shoulders to its natural pO-
Sition between the hips; sleeves hither-
to tight were suddenly puffed out to
pretentlouS amplitude, and the pear
shaped, ballOon-Shaped or leg-of-muttOn
sleeve was in process OF time succeeded
by wider and lOOSer sleeve, which En-
gliSh dressmakerS dubbed 1.-The bishop"
Unfortunately, long waists effected
the revival of the mischievous practice
of tight lacing, and stays became real
instruments of torture. The dress i'm
proven ran its course, and declined as
suddenly as it had appeared. The ''prin-
cess robe baniShed buStleS for fouy or
five years, but the hustle came back with
short walking skirts, and it thriveS, and

Notwithstanding all the fiouts and jeers
of the satiriStS, and the solemn head
ShaEingS and grave reprehen ions of the
moraliSts. The only practical way to
suppress fashion is to associate it with
infamy. Mrs. Turner. the poiSoner in
James |. time, was hanged at Tyburn
in a ruff stiffened with yellow
starch, and yellow tufts Immediately
went out of fashion. The murdereSS,
Maria Manning, was hanged at Horse
mOnger lane, III black satin dress,
and for twenty years afterward black
satin was out of fashion. AS it hap
pens, executions now take place in
private, and nothing would be gained
in the way of fashion reform by hang

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Two Mississippians Engage in a
Street Row and Kill Each Other.

New ORLEANS, La, May 2.-The
publisher of the. New MISSISSIPPI
plan sends the Picayune the following
account of the tragedy at jackson yes
terday: Martin was returning to his
Office from his dinner at about t O'Clock.
when he was met midway between his
home and his Office by Gen. Adams and
a friend, who had lett the postoffice
few minutes earlier and were proceed
ing towards Martins home. An eye
witness, Walter Johnson, who was
standing near, says that Adams stopped
Martin and engaged in conversation for
about minute, when Adams drew his
pistol and fired, knocking Martins hat
off. Adams second shot brought Martin
to his knees. The latter experienced
considerable difficulty in drawing his
pistol; but, finally succeeding, he fired
rapidly. A third shot by Adams caused
Martin to fall fiat on his back. After
few seconds, however, he partially rose,
and Steadying himself on his elbow, shot
Adams directly through the heart, kill
ing him instantly Martin lived few
minutes only, remarking to Charles
Campbell, Il am dead man." Owing
to the fact that Martin is believed to
have received four shots, while only
three chambers of Adams pistol were
empty, some suspicion attaches to Ned
Parrish, Adams friend, and an investi-
CATION will be held. Martin, though
only twenty-five years of age, stood at
the head of Mississippi journalism.
Gen. Adams was between siXty-fve and
seventy years of age, and was one OF
MissiSSippis most distinguished men.

Bell will erect building on Lake ave-

an violent form, but just mad-mad as

The cause of all the trouble is that the
Duluth IL Iron Range road has for tho
present stopped work on its extension
to Ely. And the railroad company
stopped work because the Pattisons, of
Superior, who own the fee in two min
ing properties through which the road
passed, wanted $1,000 damages before
they would let the road go through.
The railroad company made arrange,
ments at once to change the route of the
railroad. A meeting of citizens of Ely
was held and resolutions of condemna-
ton of the PattiSons and sympathy with
the railroad company were passed. 1t
is quite likely that things will be fixed
so that the railroad will take about the
old route.

PUT ON THE SCREENS.
A New Commercial Phrase for
EQualizing Rates.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-In the trusts
investigation to-day j. nj. Culp, general
freight agent of the Louisville & Nash
vile, declined to answer questions with
regard to rebates and determinations or
to produce the books of the company.
No determinations, whatever, he said.
had been maize since the interstate
commerce law went into effect. He ac-
khowledged that the Louisville & Nash
vile had given preferential rates to
Chess, Carley d Co., of Louisville, and
other Standard Oil affiliated concerns.
Those companies. he said, gave the
road business to all points reached by
it, and also gave larger and more reg
ular business than other shippers, and,
therefore, lower rates were given them
i'll some instances. He said that he had
informed George Rice that he would
charge him for hauling his empty tank
cars back from the South, though no
charge was made the Standard. The
reason was that most of the Standards
RIce's came empty. The road would
not agree to haul all the cars Of
any person back empty free. He
did not remember refusing to give
Mr.. Rice rate on turpentine
from Mobile to be carried North on
his cars. Witness was questioned about
a letter written by Chess, Carley & Co.
to the Louisville d Nashville railroad,
touching shipments made by Mr.. Rice.
He said he understood such letter had
been written, and that it called attention
to the fact that lower rate had been
charged on oil shipped by others than
charged on Chess, Carley & Co.'S ship
mentS.
Mr.. Gowan-And the remedy sought
to be applied.
A. They asked us to have the proper
rate charged. You understand never
saw the letter.
The letter was put in evidence. 1t
concluded ''Please turn on another
screw" This last phrase caused con-
siderable merriment, and Mr.. Culp said
that he desired to say that the rate
named was a lower rate than had ever
been given Chess, Carley q Co.
Q. Isthe commercial phrase for equal
izing rates turn on another screw?'
A. | don't know as to that. There
was no understanding or agreement
whereby Chess, Carley q Co. could
order us to turn on another screw or re-
Quire us to charge anybody any rate
higher or lower than their rate. The
man who wrote that must have been
crazy, and he afterwards died in the in
sane asylum.
