being larger than usual, and the quality of
the potatoes being exceptionally good, but

reason why he may not continue quite q
number OF years.

Nelps AdUertiser. He further requests of the
Advertiser that, if it meant to include him among
the "ohicers !" it alleges to be Ito use its expires
SION in cahoot with the saloon element that it
say so in its very next issue.
1t is well-known fact that every since the or
dinance against the sale of intoxicating drinks
was passed by our council, it had been repeatedly
and continuously violated 1t is also known that
during the time this ordinance has been in force,
so few charges for violations have been made that
the fines (six in nmber) imposed for violations,
would, if added together, amount to less than the
Dow license for one saloon, during the tiile. Who
is to blame for this state of affairs? d? The council
has performed its duty in adopting the ordinance.
The Mayor has performed his duty in fining and
heavily fning those who have been found guilty
in his court, of violating the ordinance. Where
then, does the blame rest ? Either the ordinance
should be enforced or repealed. c.

In these days when executive CON-
mittees are endorsing men for positions,
and requesting Representatives to pur-
sue such and such courses on certain
questions, the erroneous impression has
gained footing that such endorse
ments carry with them the backing of
all the Republicans of the county. Such
is not the case, nor do these gentlemen
who happen to give endorsement in
tend that it shall convey such mean
ing. Such an endorsement carries with
it no more weight, nor is it entitled to
any more weight than the endorsement
of the same number of other Republi-
cans in good standing in the party.

CLEVELAND DowNED.

Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, has been
elected Speaker of the Fifty-second Con-
gress, and Roger Q. Mills, with his plat
form of "absolute free trade, an income
tax, and Cleveland at any cost" is wal
lowing in the dust. OF course Crisp's
election means the continuance of the
Democratic policy on the tariff, but
more than that, it seems that G. Cleve-
land has received a slap in the face at
the hands of the National Democratic
House of Representatives. Mills was
Cleveland's man, and made the fight on
that issue. The fight was bitter and to
the fRish, and the anti-Cleveland men
seem to be in the majority. This is the
frst fight for the Democratic nomina-
tion next year, and if this indicates any
thing, the bloated apostle of tariff re-
form is no longer the patron saint of
Democracy.
The fight over the Speakership, which
it took thirty ballots to decide, evident
ly engendered enough feeling to insure
more fractional fights in this Congress.
The Cleveland men will endeayor to re-
claim the the points they have lost, and
an interesting time may be looked for
on all questions in which they can
divide. The turn of affairs will meet
with the approval of Republicans, and
can not fail to be injurious to the
Democracy,
