Peter Sells, IT,, one Of the proprietors

in the pistol pocket, and pulled out
therefrom a plug Of 'nigger-head' to-
baccO. 'Begora, what's this?" said he
"SOme spalpeen has been wearin thin

one, but Pete was equal to it, and
boldly replied: "Oh, NOT You see,
my friend put that there myseif to keep
he moth out. Rent the pants and I'll
throw in the plug" The liberal ex-
PLANTATION was accepted, and the next
day fne-looking delegation from the
Emerald Isle marched proudly up High
street, sporting the trousers recently
vacated BY the colored company. 1t is
safe to say that had the Irishmen known
the truth they would far sooner have
waded bare-legged through the snow
drifts OF the late great blizzard. Pete
concluded his story with the remark:
Had that Irishman known, or even
suspected, that u lot OF niggers had worn
those pants there would have been Q

To ak Editor Of ne Ia!etigeneT:
sIR:-Thc city Council voted an In
crease of the police force. Thereupor
the City Sergeant nominated to the Fire
and Police Board four ultra-Democrats
us policemen. The Board did not see iii
to approve the list and send it in
for confirmation to Council, whereupon
the Register has daily attacked Council
as opposing the increase OF the number
OF police.
Council voted the increase. 1t is
well known that the police on election
DAYS are the most earnest and effective
Democratic poll workers.
This is the milk in the cocoanut OF the
Registers flaming editorials against Coun-
ell on every pretext. The zeal OF the
Register for an increased police force is
altogether rank partisanship. The re-
gard for public safety and economy is u
transparent pretense. Ii the present
City Sergeant would send in List equal
" Republican and Democratic, the non
partisan Police Board, two Democrats
and two Republicans, would have sent
it to a Republican Council, who would
have at once confirmed the list.
The Register says Council can't bull
doze it. But Council has made it squeal
like stuck pig, as you well know, be-
cause Republican Council would not
be made subservient tools to appoint
exclusively Democratic ward workers Us
policemen. For this every act is mis-
represented and abused. Council has
the right and duty to purchase proper
articles OF use and ornament for the
City Building. Itisproper that historical
scenes such rs the ''seige OF Fort Henry"
should be known and their memory
perpetuated. A local artist OF some note
offered to the Committee on Real Estate
the picture. The committee, consisting
OF three Democrats and three Republic
cans, considered the matter, and reported
u resolution to Council to buy the pic
ture ut the price OF $500. The Second
Branch OF Council passed the resolution,
every Democratic member voting for it,
and the votes against it being exclusive
~ Republicans. Their the Register
brakes out in horror at this appropria-
ton OF the public funds when it alleges
they are needed for street paving.
The public funds are not to be prop
erly deyotedto one purpose. Out OF the
income OF the city for this year $l07, 600
have been set apart for the streets, near
~ all for repairing Whether the ap-
was proper or not, the only
opposition to it in the more numerous
brunch of Council, which had to pass
first on it, came from Republicans.
