together with the State Platform
/. That there be a general reconstruc
ton of the public school system in our
county, consisting in the reduction Of the
school examiners salary; that he be re-
quired 10 visit the schools at least as often

An Important once.

"In no other elective Office, says a
contemporary, can the yiolators Of
the law, and the semi-violators with
their sympathizers and abetters and
hangers on, exert so extensive an
influence as in the election of a
States Attorney"
GAS the public prosecutor, the
States attorney would naturally be
supposed to be al object not of IA
vor aud friendship with the crimi :
nal and semi-criminal classes, but
of dislike and opposition. This
would seem to be lnseperable from
the faithful and proper dis
charge IF his duty, which duty IN
many of It's functions is so closely
allied 10 that of the police regula-
tons of the State as to warrant the
same feeling of distrust and dislike
from the violators of the law
1t is we'll known fact that Mr..
james NJ. Munroe is candidate
for a third term, and it is also a
well-known fact that Mr.. Munroe
has stetted several cases at this
term Of Court and it is also a well
known fact that it is within the
province of the States attorney, TO
be very lenieut with those who may
come before him for prosecution.
Whether Mr.. Munroe's third
term candidacy would have any in
fuence over his official acts, we
could not say. We believe he has
made a very faithful and conscien-
tious prosecutor, but there are some
things that the public are not ia
miliar with that they would like to
know, and they are the reasons fer
s.etting certain eases that are held
FOR the action of the grand jury
and court. A man is held in the
penalty OF a certain sum for his APP
pearance at Court to answer the
charge of committing certain
crime, when the case is cllle1, on
motion of the States attorney it is
stetted, in other words the parti, 8
discharged, for reasons better
known to the States attorney.
Now, it is well kuown fact that
Mr.. MunIos is a candidate for a
third term on the Republican tick
e., while Mr.. Ireland is the candi-
date on the Democratic ticket.
Which will you support The
man who has held the office for
two. consecutive terms, and is now
the candidate for the third term.
or the man who comes before the
people untrammelled and free from
all possible entauglements-a man
who will prosecute offenders without
fear or favor?

That the republican platform in
this county approves the Force Bill,

Every republican candidate in
this county stands on that platform.
A vote for any man on the repub-

Force Bill.
A vote for any republican candl-
date is 8 vote for the Mckinley bill

the poor man to live.

COMING THRo' THE RAIN.

1t Is exasperating to woman to walk
under drizzly drip while her escort Is
fumbling with the shelter.
When once the umbrella is raised. hold
It not to the right nor to the left, nor to
the front nor to the back. but directly over
the hat of the woman.
Don't yank your escort by the arm while
carrying an umbrella. She wants to hold
up her skirts, and besides that the pose Of
the umbrella is sure to suffer.
Be sure that it Is not 80 far forward that
the back prongs OF the umbrella will drip
upon her shoulders, nor yet SO far back
that the front win drip upon her bangs
Never mind your own hat. even though
It be silk one, and do not value the safe
ty OF your eyes, but devote your whole at
tention to the covering of that one woman.
Should the elements rage in all direc-
lions, and the rains descend from every
where, abandon at once all hope of keep
ing the woman's garments dry, and bring
all your energies to bear upon the preser-
walton of her frizzes. Keep them dry at all
hazards. Remember always that better a
wet. sozzled, dripping woman with pretty
bangs than dry one with stringy, discon-
tented, desolated locks. New York World.

Mayor Torbert Coryell, independent
Democratic candidate for Mayor of this
city, is reelected by 2o4 majority over
the regular Democratic nominee. This re-
suit is partly explained by the fact that
certain faction in the First Ward attempts
ed to punish the Mayor for his indepen-
dent action last Fall in the Assembly fight,
and another Democratic faction fought
him because he sustained Policeman
Uleary when be was arrested and indicted
for false imprisonment. When the Mayor
found this state of things, he put on his
fighting clothes and went into the engage
ment to win the battle. He did.

MIR. Jas. s. Studdiford, the newly
elected member of Council for the Second
Ward, will make a valuable member Of
Council. He is good financicr and bu-
siness man and has abilities in other d.
rections that fit him for the position. The
people have made no mistake In electing
him. Mr.. W. w. Robinson, the new
member from the Third Ward, will alss
make valuable member. He has former
ly been City Clerk for number of years,
and is therefore well-posted in the genera
business of the city.

The people Of our city are to be con-
graduated upon the result of the elections,
SO far as council is concerned. The vot-
ers have decided that the party that has
so well and economically conducted the

tinue in power. We feel sure that the
affairs of the city will be SO cared for dur
ing the present year as to merit the con-
.tinued good will of the people.

AT the close OF the last Council meet
ing, Councilman Kilroy, of the First Ward,
announced that s'next month we will meet
under different auspices" That appears
to be fact. The ''auspices" seems to be
one more Republican majority in the
Council. That is quite auspicious.
But Mr.. Kilroy was wild enough to i'm
agine that the different auspices" would
be the First Ward in control OF Council.

Considerable interest was manifested

Considerable interest was manifested
in our city election, last Monday. There
was a general feeling among tax payers
that it was important that the financial
interests of the city be kept in proper
hands, and party lines were little regard
ed. As rule men voted for those they
considered as the best fitted for the posi-
tions, and party was a secondary consider
alton. This should always be the case in
municipal affairs.

The deadly car.coupler, which has kill

which own seven-tenths of all the cars in
the country, and they are being equipped
also with automatic brakes.

ELECTRIC SPARKS.

The Breaker Electric line, of Milwaukee,
has been mortgaged to the New York Loan
and Trust company for 81 100000.
The Worlds fair bureau OF electricity has
been formally organized by the appoint
ment of Mr.. j. Allan Hornsby, of Chicago,
as secretary of the department under Pro-
fessor Barrett.
A Berlin electric light company has for
some time been supplying small motors
for running sewing machines with power
from its central station. The cost Is quite
low and large number are in use.
California cities cannot grant franchises
to electric railroads, and the legislature is
unwilling to change the law unless the
companies desiring franchises will agree to
use the storage battery system.
A company has been formed at Waco,
Tex, with n capital of $4,000, to supply
the town with electric lights and electric
street railroad. The company is to run its
dynamos by power obtained from artesian
wells.
Telephones are of greater antiquity than
Is generally supposed. Wheatstone de-
scribes his telephone in 1921, and in 1854
Oh. Bourseul said, sit is certain that in
more or less distant future speech will be
transmitted by electricity"
State papers recently published in Swe-
den show that great progress has been
made in telephony. There are now 1888
wires worked by the government, and the
total length, including lines operated by
private enterprise, is $4,000 kilometers.
A Philadelphia firm lights its place OF
business by means of IT'S light dynamo
run by fifteen horse power gas engine. The
dynamo is run on an average of six and
a half hours each evening, and the cost OF
operating the plant is about $50 month.
The lighting of the city Of London by
electricity has just been inaugurated with
elaborate ceremony, the lord mayor laying
the foundation stone of the junction box,
where the mains of the two companies
which have contracted to light the metropo-
lis will be united.
BY placing two iron bars at seven or
eight meters distance from each other, and
then putting them in communication on
one side by copper wire covered with rub
Der, and on the other side with telephone,
a storm can be predicted at least twelve
hours ahead through dead sound heard
In the receiver.
The announcement comes from Balti-
more that a new method of storing power
for street car traction and other purposes
has been invented by Robert r. Zell, and a
company has been organized to take hold
of 1t. The nature OF the new motive power
Is kept secret at present. but 1t Is openly
limited that 1t is electrical.
