The lateness Of the winter season
election will be soon at hand. The
terms Of Councilmen Nefr, Bristol,
Godfrey and Cravens expire this
spring. We do not know officially
whether any Of these gentlemen are
candidates for reelection, but 50 far
as we are concerned we should he
glad 10 see all of them retained. In
the first ward which Councilman
Nef represents, will undoubtedly re-
turn him. Mr.. NeT and the JOUR-
NAL do not always agree on matters
pertaining to the welfare Of the city,
i'm fact It is seldom we do agree, but
Councilman Nefr il withal a vslu
able man in The council. He repre-
sents the labor element, and the
JOURNAL conced,s all classes re-
presentation in the city council re-
gardless of its own preferences.
Mr.. Bristol is an invaluable MEM
Der from the second ward. He has
the affairs of the claims committee
well in hand, aud at this time when
this committee, in some respects
the most important Of all, has so
much on its hands il would be
unwise to dispense with his services.
In Mr.. Godfrey of the third ward
has given the city a man who won
golden opinions OF the city as chair
man of the sanitary committee.
There il some objection made TO Mr..
Godfrey because of his being out Of
the city a great deal experimenting
his farming operations, but beyond
this he il a faithful and efficient
councilman, and considering that
councilmen serve for love and honor
alone, and hardly ever have their
salaries paid, the third ward should
not he too exaetiDg.
Nobody thinks Councilman
Cravens will be, laid aside. In fact
the city could not well keep house
without the genial and efficient
pr.siden, Of the council. Often and
often when we have been on the
point Of saying cutting things abou,
the Democratic party the pen has
been stayed because We remembered
that Richard is Of that political
faith. II there il one man in thi.
city whose services a. city council
man cannot he dispensed With al
| this time that nsn il II. i. CraveBs
Of the fourth ward. He may not be
In accord with the majority Of voter,

fidelity to their cause by endorsing

On Tuesdny afternoon JOURNAL
reporter called upon . number Of
our business men and asked them
their opinions In regard to the es-
tablishment Of permanent and re-
gulsr market days.
A. NJ. Clafiiu thought the ides q
good one. and was In favor OF having
at least one market day per month
ON Saturday 50 II would not inter-
fere with the present custom Of our
farmers in coming to town on that
day.
NJ. J. Wellslager thought the BUSH
ness interests OF the city demands
such an enterprise. and IL 10 hearty
accord with the proposed idea.
Councilman Crsvens had not read
the JOURNALS article, hut had long
given the matter his profound
thought. It was q thing the bust
ness interests Of Salius imperatively
demands, and something that will
become more and more . matter Of
necessity n the city grows. The
city owns property now Mt the cor
ner Of Third and Walnut, but at
this time that site IL hardly avsils-
BILE, for obvious reasons. Still, when
the Walnut street bridge IL built, as
1t probably will be this year, that
place would be more practicable
than now. Tue first thing to be
was u market place, but
he was glad that the JOURNAL had
agitating the matter and
hoped IL would end only when mar
ket day and q market place were
duly established.
Mr.. G.. White, AWAY public spirit

4 good thing Of Salina, will speak
