List OF AIdcrnlanic Candidates

There are seven Aldermen to be

Second ward-L. Moran.
Third waTd-J. g. lie Blanc
Fourth ward-F. Matchette.
Fifth wardrobe Hard

In no instance has the Democrats
put up better men, admitting for ar
gument sake, that their nominees are
just as good. The city of Superior is
clearly and safely Republican city,
hence we can see no legitimate reason
why the Republican nominees should
not be all elected, and they Will be if
the party pulls together.

Interest III the testamentary dispositions of
Gotham's great millionaires is considerably
discounted by the fact, recalled in legal
circles, that about five years ago John Jacob
Astor made deed of gift of his entire es-
tate, real and personal, to his only son, Will
lam w. Astor, reserving only life annuity
of 81 ,O0O,000 for himself. 1t was Mr.. Astor's
intention at the time to seek the rest and
recreation this princely income would afford
him. but the business habit was too strong
within him. He spent the greater part of
| his income in real estate investments, made
| in his sons name. The residue of the estate
left after this disposition of his wealth will,
it is said, be nequeathed entirely to charita.

mittee on the library has authorized q
favorable report on the bill. introduced in
the house by Mr.. Caldwell, appropriating
$25, 900 for the erection of a monument to
the late President William Henry Harrison,
at North Bend, o, A report accompanying
the bill states that the distinguished public
services of Mr.. Harrison, through a number
of the most trying years in the early history
Of this country, and notably his military
achievements, his prominence and ability as
a statesman in the capacity of governor of
Indian territory, member Of congress, state
senator and president of the United States,
renders monument necessary as tribute to
his memory, and the committee believe that
there is no more appropriate place than the
locality to which he retired after active
service and in which his remains are in
tered, and the committee recommend the
passage of the bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Andrew A. Lewis,
of Christ Street church, Lewisburg, Pa, has
asked the treasury depar tment a curious
question, in which the scope of the alien
contract labor law is involved. A resident
of Lewisburg and citizen of the United
States removed to Canada with his family
some years ago and took the oath of allie
glance to the queen. Among the members
OF his family was boy who has since be-
come minister, and his fathers old friends
at Lewisburg desire to call the son and min
lister to Christ church, and ask the secretary
of the treasury whether, if he comes, as he
will, with stipulated salary per year, it
will be violation of law. 1t is probable
that the young minister will have to remain
in Canada
