city, or at least do which represent con
siderable sum Of money. l met man yes
terdsy. and behind him trOtted nanny
cur with sore eyes and patches Of hair pull
cd ont l asksd him why he.allOwed such
an animal to appear with him on TIE streets,
and received the startling response that the
dog had cost $l3, and that he wouldn't
part from him for twice that amount
Seeing my sarprise, he proceed 20 explain.
Said he Four years ago lived on farm
and was in possession of quite lot OF CORR
l sold Q gentleman in this city some OF 1t,
and when I went home this dog followed
nv wagon. 1t is the only return which
ever came from the sale of the corn.
Going on up street l met prominent
business man, followed by a mOpgrel
which looked as if he WIS good for nothing
but to chase up cold victuals Still think
ing of the other dog, iOkingly asked: rs
that q valuable dOe?" He replied that
that dog represented SIS, and went on to
explain that he rad rented desirable
tenement in a popular part Of town to the
dogs former owner about three years ago.
The tenant, after living in The house five
months moved ont of town between two
days. and left the dog because the cOnduc-
tor would not slow bin taken in the pas
senger coach. There may be other valu-
able dogs in this city, but they have not
shown up their record yet.
Every tin the mud thaws out the peo-
pie take sudden and violent TT of talking.
They talk about better streets and Islander
the city government because of the mud,
but do rot take into consideration fiatGI
power originates in the People and that if
they cared to, there PIE eminently salts
factory laws >~Gcder which these
improve11se2 ttss~ may be had. If we
are ,t5 judge the future by the
Srsssssf, there will never be anything done in
the way of lettering the cOndiOn of the
town until some one imagines there is a pos
sibility of making a speck out Of it, or
there is some new red blood infused into
the city. 1t lisa very hard matter to set
the advantages we have properly applied.
Here is q town of 1000 people paying a
Marshal and four police, and the streets
deserted and the people at the mercy Of
thieves aftsr ten o'clock at night. Under
the municipal administration which pre-
csded this one, four policemen were found
sufficient to keep three men on duty till
midnight snd two till morning. It's true
that the force is hardly adequate for the
territory, but it is better than none, and
in The night season is the time they are
most needed. Pot the peelers to bed in
day time, and let them come On at 6 p. m.
snd stay till morning.
TIE rainbow chasers are ell off in Wash
ingt0n. They may get to SIC General
Harrison or some Of his aides, but that is
not at all likely. In the lot there are two
original Harrison men," and one or two
who actually took part in the campaign.
