1t wasa graceful act on the part of
Cow Hogg, to honor city by EN-
dering, through the adjutant General
to our absent Mayor, the appoint.

Col. Clandon will, no doubt, cable
Col. CallaghAn his new distinction,
to enable him to have his uniform
made in Paris. n
Our city government will no doubt
take quite a military turn when the
Colonel returns. The date of his re-
turn is not known for a certainty. A
gentleman recently from New York
says he met the distinguished travel
er in that city and he informed him
that he expected to celebrate the Fall
of the Bastile in "Paree'' while local
authority state that he will be. home
by the 18th of July. II is well we
have these fugitive accounts of our
chief executive, otherwise he might
be forgotten.
The official journal has evidently
dropped the grand jury report like a
hot potato, and only found one gentle.

tied with getting off this balderdash:
1.-The indefinite Style of their charges
leave no ground for their friends to
stand upon, while the severity of them
creates a very firm pedestal for the

other swings in robust, circling
kicks"
This was the best that the Express
cared to do. The indefinite gentle
man who expressed himself hyper
bolically must do duty for the usual
column or two of "views of prominent
citizens and taxpayers"
The special meeting of the city
council yesterday was attended by
several citizens who fully expected to
see Alderman Hoetling don the
robe of a city father, but 1t was not to
be, the faithful Boelhauwe was there
to draw his IS.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of receiving the award of the
commission condemning property to
widen Crockett street, and it took
only a few moments to do the job
But the mayor told the council that
he had discovered over thirty thous-
and pounds of powder stored in easy
distance of the council chamber.
1t was really pleasant to think and
talk about the powder a mile off,
after the dynimite explosion that
had occurred in the third story of the
county courthouse.

Alderman Lockwood had to tell
how he was the father, the originator,
and first and only pure Jacob-1own-

Mayor Schreiner very properly cut
any further$display of egotism short
by stating that there was no further
business before the meeting, and had
it adjourned.
