Now here is something which some people
might call curious. A few weeks ago Mr..
Calvin s. Brice said, in effect, that he did
not object to che use of money in elections,
provided it was used for legitimate pnr-
poses. The republican press at once jumped
on Mr. Brice, and tried to pervert his asser-
tions so as to make him political boodler.
A few days ago Postmaster General
Wananaker said substantially what Mr.
Brice had said Did the republican press
denounce hima Did it misrepresent hima
Not much. 1t is all right, from it's stand
point, for a republican to talk about money
in elections, but when a democrat does the
same thing he is misrepresented, misjudged,
and mistreated

The skeleton of 1889.
From Teras Siftings,

GTOHt Lt-lAS 1ctg tiHgS
Half sinking, half swimming. he slips from the
land;
The bell-rope is clinched in his tremulous hand /;
His last sun has set in the billowy tomb;
The clock of the months marks the moment Of
doom.
o. visitant ghostly, we bid thee farewell:
But just for one moment withhold thy last
knell,
To tell us the fate of our lost summer flowers
Our love-songs, our bird-notes, our poisoning
hours.
Full many sweet hopes we've entrusted TO thee:
Their realization. o, when shall we see:
And will you not tell US in what diadems
The fragments are set>of our lost, shattered
gemss
The path we've walked with thee has been 80
uneven.
But did il not slant. just little, toward heaven
The sheaves we have garnered to scatter abroad,
Dost know that they're safe in the storshouse
OF Godf
Still mute' o! departing year, we care not
whether
Thy heart be as tickle and false as thy weather;
Go; sink with thy storms aud thy foods past
recall.
And let the eternal waves cover them all.
The Past and the Future clasp hands oyer thee,
AS DER thy head surges the turbulent sea;
Thine own nerveless fingers must ring out thy
knel-
The clock strikes; the bell tolls; Farewell. o
Farewell. MARY A. Benson.

Keen the City Clean.

The indications are that this council will
not begin the work of providing the city
with a house drainage system. Only a
small appropriation for that work is made
in the budget. 1t is understood, however,
that whatever is received in payment of
balances due on ground rent lots shall be
devoted to house drainage, but in view of
the unsettled condition of the ground lots
question it is not probable that great deal
will be received from that source until it is
satisfactorily determined that the ground
lots are taxable.
A house drainage system is one of the
greatest needs of the city. The Importance
of it cannot be overestimated. 1t is about
impossible to keep the city in a good sani-
tary condition without it. Il is probable
that it would not now be difficult to find
spots in the city where there is sufficient
accumulation of filth to breed disease
There are vaults, if we are not mistaken, in
some of the most thickly settled localities,
that have not been attended to for some
| time, and lanes where there. is almost a
total disregard of such sanitary regulations
as are necessary to maintain a condition of
healthfulness.
1t is an easy matter to give the city the
appearance of being clean when it is not so
in fact. The disease breeding places are
hidden, and it will be impossible to get rid
of them entirely until the city has been
provided with system of house drainage.
There are people who will not 60 to the
trouble nor incur the expense of keeping
their premises clean. They do not appear
to appreciate the danger there is in their
unhealthy surroundings, and if they do they
prefer to take the risk of being sick to
spending dollar or putting themselves to
| any trouble to secure cleanliness.
In cases where it is impossible to get those
directly interested to comply with the
plainest demands of health the authorities
should exercise their power without favor.
If there is sanitary work to be done. they
should do it at the expense of the delinquent
householders. Good health is a matter of
the first consideration, and nothing that
will assist in securing it should be neg
lected.

When the Turkish government gives a
foreigner present, it attaches a string to
it in the shape Of a condition that it shall
be returned at the death of the recipient.
The sultan gave the late Mr.. Cox some very
handsome jewels when Mr.. Cox was min
lister to that country, aud they are now on
exhibition in Washington, before being
returned to Turkey. Probably they will go
into the possession of the present American
minister, Mr.. Solomon HirscA. One set of
jewels may do considerable service, if the
ex-ministers are OILY considerable enough to
die at the proper time.

A writer in the New York Times wants
to know why southern colleges don't pay
more attention to athletic sports, and he
proceeds to answer his own question by
saying that it is because the college profes-
sors and the southern public do not take
more interest in them. Perhaps that is true.
There certainly is not half as much interest
in such things in southern as in northern
colleges, and probably there ought to be
more, but no one can accuse southern stu
dents of neglecting their studies for football,
base ball and kindred sports.

Culver in Hot Water.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-Juror John Gull
yer, of Cronin case notoriety, sends to the
Daily Netos a long statement in answer
to the published structures on his conduct
in the case. He says in part that when
he was sworn to try the case according to
the law and the evidence he had no idea
he would be required to satisfy the popu-
lar clamor, and thinks Jury trials have
become a farce it 1t is true one must
suit his verdict to the demands of the
papers or public opinion.
If he find contrary to newspaper opinion
he is maligned and his action attributed
to that most detestable of all corruption
bribery-his religion derided and ever
his wife and family dragged in to enhance
the sensation. Among the natural fruits
OF this passionate and clamorous treat
ment on the part OF newspapers he classes
the numerous published interviews of per.
sons not sworn to try the case and the
conduct of State Attorney Longnecker in
stepping out OF his sphere of his duties as
prosecuting officer. and assuming that OF
censor OF jurors when their verdict hap
pens not to be in accordance with his de.
sires. The Neaos also published a mum.
Der of obscene letters Culver has received
since the verdict.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 2l.-The failure
OF j. B. Sheffield & Sons of Saugerties.
one of the Oldest and best known paper
manufacturing concerns in the country,
was announced to-day. Early last week
the paper mills of Sheffield & Sons, the
envelope mill of j.. |. Preble & &c. and
the bindery of the Saugerties Blank Book
company were all closed. These three
concerns are the main support of the
town. The liabilities of Sheffield & Sons
are about 81, OOO, 600. No approximate
idea can be obtained as to the assets. The
four other large concerns involved are j.
|. Preble & Co. of New York. Daniel
Sloat & Co. of New York, the Saugerties
Blank Book company of Saugerties, and
the Wabash Manufacturing company OF
Chicago.
The cause of the failure. it is stated, is
due to mismanagement at the mills in the
manufacturing part of the business. Ii
is difficult at present to give the assets.
The failure, however, is a heavy one. Ii
is limited that several other firms are in
volved and may be expected to go down
ir the crash.

Killed Her AssaiIant.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 2l.-Yesterday
Mrs. Margaret Taylor, living near Cottage
Grove, Lane county, shot and killed
Marion p. Martin, aged 70 years and an
old pioneer. The woman claims that
Martin came to her house during the alb
sence OF her husband and attempted to
outrage here. She secured a pistol and
repeatedly warned Martin to leave. He
refused to do so and violently seized hold
of her. She hen fired two shots, strik-
ing Martin in the head, producing instant
death. Mrs. Taylor then gave herself up
to the authorities. After a thorough ex-
animation OF the tragedy the ~coroDer's
Jury exonerated the woman from all
blame. She told a very straight story
and all the circumstance c~orroborate her
statement. Mrs. Taylor has always borne
a good name. Martin was the father OF
grown sons and daughters. A few years
ago he treated his wife SO brutally that
she committed suicide to escape his
cruelty. Public sentiment j~ustifies the
killing.
