time In the latter part Of May. The

March and will draw from a different

10 remembered that Patsy Cardiff en-.
joys the proud reputation of having
stood before the great and only Sulli-

Army and Navy Reunions.

II has heretofore occurred at @. A. r
national encampments. survivors of
the came regiment, battery or boat
who are in attendance and who have
not met since the war, are unable to
find each other by reason Of having
no designated place or time to rally,
and comrades living thousands of
miles apart learn too late Of the Others
attendance at the same enoampment.
To avoid such conditions at the COM
ing encampment in August, there
will be 4 reunion OF every regiment,
boat and battery that served on the
Union side, and the time and place of
such meeting will be announced in
advance 10 every veteran who sends
name, regiment, battery or boat and
postoffice address to G. X. Pier, Secre-
tary, Milwaukee, Wis.
Oficers of regimsntal or other re.
union societies should give early
notice Of meeting aud IL sent to above
address, same will be published in the
official Encampment Bulletin and
reach every soldier and seaman's
notice.

the Crank.

Councilman Keunedy's crankiness
was given another airing In the seq
sion of the council this afternoon.
When the gambling bill came to q
vote Kennedy skulked from the
chamber to avoid casting bis vote
upon a measure that, 10 use slang, he
had done "bis dirty dsrndest" to de
feat. But the sergesnt-at-srms was
sent for him and he was brought back
to his seat. He then refused to vote,
%whereupon Councilmen Brown. Mid.
dleton and Thompson Of Deer Lodge,
administered to the recalcitrant mem.
Der q verbal dressing-down that he
will never forget. But, ~ on the reg
istration bill two years ago, Kennedy
could not get out Of voting and as q
matter Of course voted against the
bill.-HeraId.

earnest conversation with a colored dame,
who evidently could not read. but desired
to vote the straight Republican ticket. She
was finally provided with a ticket that
added an other nail to the coffin of the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor. and she
marched up to the window and handed it
in with the air of a queen.
During the day many cases of husband
and wife voting oppositely came to notice,
and these have already been cited in at,
tempted refutation of the claim that women
are largely influenced by their husbands.
1t is asserted further that many men were
induced to change their votes on Tuesday
through the arguments of their better
halves. The result, particularly In this
banner Republican city, would certainly
indicate something of this nature
Kansas, the great experimental ground
of the Nation. seems to have settled the
question of municipal suffrage for women,
to the satisfaction of a large majority of its
own people at least. In Cottonwood Falls
and Rossville, two small cities, the entire
government has just been placed in the
hands of women. OskalOosa has been gov
erned by women for the past two years. and
the people seem to be pleased, for they have
reelected them.
The opponents of the movement appear
to have accepted defeat philosophically.
What's the use of keeping up the tght!"
said a prominent Democrat, to-day, in con-
Guiding some very vigorous remarks on the
subject. The thing is evidently here to
stay. just as prohibition is, and although i
know it is bound to exert a harmful infiu-
lie the folly of trying to change the situa-
ton: When a movement like this gets a
footing In Kansas the wisest plan is to
stand from under. q

The mugwump newspapers are gra-
ciously pleased to approve of the APP
pointment of Colonel Erhardt as col
lector of the port of New York, although
the Post describes him as "a Republican
of the thick-and-thin sort, who has
always been on good terms with the Re-
publican machine" i'm that city. On the
other hand, they condemn the appoint
ment of Mr.. Van Colt as Postmaster
Pearson's successor for the sole reason,
SO far as can be discovered, that he is a
thick-and-thin Republican. And yet it
is to be observed that Van Colt declares
his thorough belief in civil-service re-
form and his determination to carry it
out with all his might, while Erhardt
has expressed no such views. The ways
of the mugwumps are as mysterious as
when they first began their devious ca

JACKsoNIAN Democrats who have been
promptly recalled from foreign appoint
ments by President Harrison may possibly
find a clew to his action in heredity as well
asin politics. 1t is related that in the latter
part of President John Quincy Adams's adj
minIstration, 1928, he sent to the Senate the
name of a gentleman for Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Republic of Colombia.
The nominee had a good military reputa-
ton, had been Governor of his State, Rep
resentative and Senator in Congress, and
was exceedingly popular. He was prompt
ly confirmed by the Senate. In those days
journeys to foreign countries were very
tedious. The new minister sailed from
New York for his post of duty on the 10th
of November. He arrived at Bogota on the
5th of February following and presented
his credentials on the 9th of the same
month. On the 4th of March, 1S29, General
Jackson was ~inaugurated President, and
four days afterward the name of another
gentleman was sent to the Senate for min
lister to Colombia, and he was confirmed.
The minister, whose experience as a diplo-
mate was so limited (~thirty-oDe days. was
no other than Gen. William Henry Harri-
