Yesterdays Commercial pitched into the
chamber OI commerce hercely for the leth-
erey displayed in public affairs in this city,
aud demands reorganization OF the body
If the Commercial reporter will visit the
n meetings of the chamber and take careful
) note of the attendants he will look in vain
I for any but a few old faces. The fact of
the matter is that the whole responsibility
is thrown upon a few, but these few are the
men of the city. A better board could not
be selected and all that's needed is co-opera-
ton and not reorganization. Instead of
throwing cold water on such body, extend
a helping hand, give them your hearty sup
port and put your shoulder to the wheel.

charge. and the jury returned verdict of
guilty and assessed the damages at .01.
Such "cases" are highly edifying and in
structive, and we would suggest that
series of similar trials might prove very
pleasant pastime during the long evenings
which win soon be upon US.
