Separate Municipal Elections.


Without venturing to decide which
plan is the more desirable, we think
there il no longer any doubt in any inn
partial mind as to the need of the pro-
posed separation. There can be no inn
provement in our municipal govern
ment, no relief from the extravagant
and oftentimes corrupt expenditures
which make life in our cities so enor-
mously expensive, until we bring the
mass of voters to the comprehension OF
two points: First that it is playing into
tho hands of the men who make their
living out of politics to allow National
and State political considerations to
enter into the choice OF municipal Off
GERS; secondly, that the burden OF taxa
ton is not borne by the rich alone. but
largely by the poor The voters must
think when they are deciding how they
will vote, not as to what the effect of
their ballot will be on candidate for
Governor or President, but upon mu-
nicipal taxation, schools, police, paw
ing. lighting. street-cleaning, sewerage,

An Ample Apology.

Through some unaccountable care
lessness in the composing-room of a
rural journal, the obituary of one OF
the towns livest citizens crept into the
paper one morning. 1t was not many
hours after the issue of the edition
that the ''lamented'' himself crept into
the sanctum, and vigorously demanded
a correction In the next mornings pa
per. 1t appeared as follows:
"Our yesterdays edition contained
the announcement of the death OF our
esteemed fellow-townsman, Colonel
Jones. 1t is with profound regret that
we state that our announcement was
premature. The Colonel still lives,
and we beg to assure him not only oi
our distinguished consideration, but
that it shall be our constant effort tc
see that he shall not be annoyed in this
manner again until the last dread hour
has in very truth arrived. To this END
we have ordered the standing obitu.
airy of Colonel Jones to be distributed.
