said ''ginger bread" This was given her
with glass Of milk. Once the devoted
sister asked her what she wanted. "What

tears are secreted in what nre called

THE MAYOR ALTY.


There is no particular fault to be found
with the gentleman who holds the office
Of mayor. We presume he is AZ good a
mayor as New Haven has ever had. BE
that us it may, the man and his personal
qualities are not in question.
But will any one inform a benighted
public what the Office is good for? As
things are at present the mayor has alb
sohltely nothing to do that cannot be
done by the city clerk or by the City
Council as well,
One of the local deily papers has been
regretting the fact that the mayor was a
mere iigurehead We see nothing re-
grettable in ton the contrary it should
be il cause for cOngratulation that our
civilization has 80 far progressed as to be
independent of the services of an indi-
viduaI officer The only thing that re-
mains to DE done under the crcumstan-
ces is to abolish the office of mayor.
After all, the office is merely relic of
ancient momarchical notions The Re
public of Switzerland tlourishes without
a president New Haven, with much
smaller population. can certainly get
along without a mayor. Abolish the
mayoralty
