feet July l, and by that time the calen-
dar can be completed, and it is thought
that a successor will not be appointed
before the October meeting of the SUI
preme Court, although it is now IN
session.
The Supreme Court is Republican
and Garnett is a Republican; hence 1t
is likely that his successor will come
from that party, and the names most
frequently heard are those of Judges
Horton and Collins.
There will probably be five Judges
to elect this fall. The terms of Prem
dergast and Kohlsaat expire, and
Garnett has created a vacancy. The
constitutional provision for Cook
County gives new Superior Court
Judge for each increase OF 10000 IN
population, and the new census Will
give two additional Judgeships, max
ing. with the three vacancies, five tc

There is going to be hot contest
over the nomination for the clerkship

Sennott, the present efficient incum-
bent, is candidate for reelection, and
his well known running qualities make
him formidable competitor for any
man. The friends Of Alderman Joseph
Bidwill are determined that he will
get the prize, and as the Alderman is
known to be a great hustler the battle
between him and Sennott will be an
interesting one.

alton appears to be conceded to Couu-

MATT. BENNER FOR SHERIFF..
A Strong Feeling Among Republicans
Favor of His domination.

a Strong Feeling Among Republicans in
Favor of His Nomination.
Many Republicans believe that they
have discovered Moses who is to lead
them out of the cave of gloom and the
shadow of defeat in the person OF eX-
Fire Marshal Matt. Benner. There IS
more talk about Benner for this NOM
ination all over the city than there Is
about many of the other Republican
candidates.
The name of Benner is a winning
one. 1t is popular with the old resi-
dents of the city and popular with the
new ones. The firemen to man are
in love with him, and his spotless
record as a public officer would aid
him nightly before the people. Ii
Mr.. Benner is nominated for Sheriff
by the Republicans, an American-born
will be nominated for County Treas
urer.

PRENDERGAST FOR SENATOR.

The Object of the New Labor Party.
The object of the new independent
Labor party has finally come to the
surface. 1t is going to boom Judge
Richard Prendergast, of the County
Court. for United States Senator, and
by electing a few members OF the
Legislature to hold the balance OF
power and dictate its choice for Sen
ator. One of the leading members OF
the new party is an appointee OF the
Judge under the new drainage com
mission. He will do all in his power
to elevate his friend and patron, and
have some able and willing hands to as
sist him. The scheme for the new party
was formed shortly after the first OF
May. 1t was decided to organize an
Independent political movement for
the coming campaign. The fight will
be conducted on issues entirely differ
ent from those of any other party, and
the movement will have no utilization
with any other faction. The Laborites
will pat up complete set of candl
dates: not indorse those of any other
party Nor will any persons who
have any connection with any other
party be nominated for Office on the
Labor ticket or given any prominence
in the movement
Even the single-tax men who were
so prominent in the last Labor cam
paign, but have since cast their for
tunes with the Democrats, will not be
given any place in the new party. One
of their number, w. W. Bailey, was
present at preliminary meeting of
the leaders in the new movement, but
on his assertion that the single-tax
men considered that their interest lay
with the Democrats he was excluded
from the conference.

movement of 1861 and ruined it by

following even among the Socialists,
with the exception OF the little ban d

If the composition of the prelim-
mary committee is any indication, the

STATE TOPICS oFINTEREsT,

Kittery is suffering from the depredations
of gang of hoodlums at present. On the
street near the Rice public library building
on land formely owned by Oliver Wilson
and Daniel Riley, is a well that for a num-
Der of years past has been used and owned
In common by the people living In the yicin-
ity. One night last week gang of hood
lums visited this well, cut the rope and drop
ped the bucket to the bottom. Not satisfied
with this, they threw filth into the we'll
Since this time the people have been afraid
to use the water in the well fearing that it
may been poisoned, as well as polluted by
filth. Thursday it was said that the names
OF some of the offenders were known, and
that they would be prosecuted. Friday morn
ng,posted upon the well curb, was a written
notice OF the miscreants warning certain
people that If any trouble was made over the
matter that there would be blood in the
air." This threat does not alarm the peo-
pie, however, and every effort will be made
to apprehend and punish those who tamper-
ed with the well.

Up in Ontario the other day some work
men dug up dozen bushels, more or less, of
bones which were put together after fash
Ion by local anatomist forming very re-
spectacle mastodon. Forthwith scientists
began pouring in upon the town, and learned
essays began to be written about the bones.
The old.time glacial lines were all recon-
structed SO as to dump the carcass just where
the bones were found, and several long-held
theories Of the formation and age of the
place were promptly abandoned. At last.
after the enthusiastic Canadians had fully
reconstructed geology to suit the case, a man
with longer memory than anyone else pos,
sessed came forward in letter to the local
editor saying that the mastodon was only a
common circus elephant that gave up the
ghost while on its travels and was buried
there, ten or dozen years ago. The rcron-
to Globe is rather unwilling to give up its
mastodon, but says that it is reminded of a
passage In Bret Harte's poem of Truthful
James:
Brown Of Calaveras bought lot of fossil bones.
which he'd found within tunnel, near the tene-
ment of Jones;
And Brown he read paper and he reconstructed
there
From those same bones an animal that was ex-
tremely rare;
When Jones got up and asked for suspension of
the rules, -
Till ne could prove that those same bones was
one of his old mules.
Then Brown he smiled a bitter smile and said he
was at fault,
II seemed he had been trespassing on Jones's
family vault.
In this case 1t looks like another instance
OF the ruling passion strong in DEATH" the
old show elephant still show, though dead
dozen years.

The Federal elections bill will be taken up
today probably by the House. There is
every reason to believe that the Republicans
are substantially solid In favor of the bill
which has been prepared, and that it will pass
after sufficient time has been given for
debate. The Democrats have apparently
abandoned all hope of beating 1t in the House,
and look to the unrestrained license to talk
In the Senate to prevent it from becoming a
law. There is. however. undoubtedly a
point beyond which Republican endurance
In the Senate will not 60, and if the Demo-
Gratis undertake to talk the bill to death they
will probably create sentiment in favor of
some rules that will shut them off, when
they have been given reasonable time to

bers of the Senate will allow it to fail In that
body because of lack of opportunity to vote

The story that Mr.. Blaine denounced the

declared that he would cut off his right hand
before he would vote for it has finally in the
course of its journey landed in the Argus
office. 1t strikes the Argus so favorably
that it displays 1t in black type. In the
course of time 1t will reach the Argus as it
has most other papers that Mr.. Blaine has
denied any such attack on the bill as is re-
ported. But whether the Argus will say any
thing about the denial is doubtful.

The drift of Democratic opinion as indi-
Gated by the newspapers seems to be In
favor Of allowing the platform adopted at
the last Democratic convention to stand un.
questioned and merely nominating candi-
date to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Mr.. Hill. The Bangor Commercial,
which its the only paper that dssents at
all from this programme, contents itself
with remarking that whether it shall be
arried out or not depends upon the views
OF the delegates. That is doubtless true.
mat is to say the delegates, IL so disposed, ,
could enunciate new principles and new
doctrines. But after the narrow escape
from row in the former convention it is not
at all likely they will run any unnecessary
risk. To change the platform would be an
entirely unnecessary risk, for it cannot pos
sibly fit the new candidate worse than it did
the old candidate.

The small boy is reported to be looking
around rather anxiously for a sight of the
old-fashioned fire cracker, the mainstay of
MS Fourth of July celebration since the cele-
Dration hrst began. While this may be the
case In many places, for the annual supply
OF crackers does not seem to be forthcoming
as yet 1t is doubtful If the small boy will
allow his anxiety to get the better of him, in
this city, or in the State of Massachusetts,,
the present year. In the case of this city
there promises to be enough celebration of a
public nature going on almost all day to
keep the small boy fully employed. In the
State of Massachusetts this law

with intent TO set fire to, a rocket cracker squlb

Is likely to act as an effectual damper upon
the swapping cracker business. Property
owners and timid people will as general
rule give the new law in Massachusetts, their
CORDIAL support, and will desire TO have 1t
extended so as to become the law of the land.
he nre cracker and the rocket have long
peeh known to be powerful agents in the de-
struction OF property by fire, to say nothing
Of their deathdealing propensities. And
this danger has increased as the explosives

the small boy II is claimed that no form If
celebration, unless it contains powder. and
smoke, and noise will serve to convey the
primitive lessons of the day. This is in a
measure true, but it is just as well for the
public and great deal better for the small
boy, to have the powder handled by people
experienced in its use. The money that in
dulgert parents give to their children to be
spent for crackers could, with greater re-
turns, be subscribed toward the firing of
national salutes. submarine mine explosions
and other wholesale forms of celebration.

good many years to come, but the more the
celebrations are consolidated under munich

The extension of the Senate bill to allow
the States to regulate the importation of in
taxicating liquors to other articles. provided
the States do not make any discrimination
in favor Of their own citizens and against
those of other States is commendable, if
1t will not have tendency to make
the passage of the bill more difficult than it
would be If confined to intoxicating liquors.

remedied now is the importation and sale Of
Intoxicating liquors in States against their
will. 1t may be safer way to confine legis-
