Rev. Mr.. Long, representative of
the Baptist Record, preached an
able and interesting sermon at the
Baptist church Monday night.
Who killed that goat Tuesday
night? He should receive a vote
of misunderstanding Courier.
Yes, and after death, the commu-
nifty should erect a monument to
his memory.

if it has fallen victim to la grippe.
The postofice building looks
spruce, spry and coquettlsh in

of the services of the painter who
is now here, and have their build

Sol Smith killed all eagle below
his place a few days ago that meas

had just finished dining on mutton;
and as HE daily meals were proving
rather expensive to sheep ralsers,
Mr.. Smiths shot was a fortunate
one.
Mesdames White and Scott de-
sire that the young men and boys
turn out in full force with saws,
axes, ETC., and assist the ladies in
their cemetery work Thursday
evening. A request of this nature
should insure the presence of half
a regiment of willing hearts and
active hands.

a large boarding house and con-
Quoting the same. This will prove
good news to the young gentlemen,
as we are informed that Mrs. Allen
has five single daughters.
The dead body of an unknown
negro was found near the railroad
platform at Oryisburg early last
Friday morning. His skull was so
badly split that death must have
been instantaneous. 1t is supposed
that he either fell from or was
thrown off passing train, and a
jury verdict was accordingly so
rendered.
Girls will take notice that Joseph
Dale, of the Monticello Press, adj
vertises that sealed bids will be req
ceiyed making offers for his hand
and heart. He advises bidders to
send or come early and avoid the
rush. Joseph, who is truthful,
promises not to entirely confine the
diet of the fortunate girl to print
ers' lux and broken bottles.
Russell Smith, of ST. Tammany
parish, La, clever gentleman and
whilom merchant of Poplarville,
who has been circulating among
his relatives and old friends for the

of the board 50 far as TO make places
for Hawaiian teachers.
The reading Of the platform was
constantly interrupted with applause.
Mr.. MORE moved the platform be
adopted as that of the Mechanics
Union and the National Reform
party. The motion was carried una
nimously without debate and with
applause.
The list of candidates was then
read as follows:
For NoBLEs-J. A. Cummins, J.
\. S. Williams, A. z. Peterson, John
Ena, and Paul Neumann.
For NTATIvEs-Ward !,
J. Heleluhe; Ward 2, J. Kanui; Ward

j. A. KahOonei.
ROAD BOARDS. G.. Dwight, J. F.
Bowler, and Samuel Mahelona.
Mr.. MORE stated that there would
be a public mass meeting next week,
Monday if possible, when the candi-
dates would be requested to state
their views.
The chairman called on Gen. Walker
for a few remarks.
Mr.. WALKER thought it little too
soon for any speech making. After
the candidates had expressed their
views, it would be time enough for
others. He was clad TO see so much
unanimity. No one could draw up a
platform to suit everybody, for no one
could even draw one which would
suit himself. 1t was hardly time now
to say what should be done. He
thought they would be safe in the
hands of the persons selected. He
knew the Mobiles, all of them; the
Representative not all. If they did
not do right they should be made to
do so. [Applause.l
Hon. Mr.. WIDEMANN, being called
on, said he had not much to say. He
had heard there was to be grand
fracas tonight, and was glad to find
everything pass off quietly. Yester-
day he had expected a nomination
from them. He had not got it, but
was perfectly cOntented and happy.
He hoped the ticket would be voted
straight. He advised them to stand
together. Applause.
Hon. E. G.. MACFARLANE, being
called on, said the ratification meet
ing would be the time to express
views on the issues of the campaign.
He joined Judge Widemann in the
hope that the Hui Kalaiaina and the
Mechanics Union would stand to
each other. Judge Widemann had set
them an example, and he wished to
thank him. Other tickets had been
nominated which would cut some
figure in the campaign, and for that
reason this party should stand solid
or it MIGHT suffer dafa0t
Mr.. MILLS inquired whether the
nominees had expressed their adher-
ence to the platform, and if so to
whom.
Mr.. MACFARLANE stated that that
would be done at the mass meeting.
MR.. WIDEMANN said the candi-
dates were nominated under that
platform and if they could not sup
port it they were bound to step out.
[Applause.I
MIR. QUINN said the Executive
Committee had appointed COM
mittee to wait on the candidates, and
if they would not support it they
could not stand.
AT $3.50 p. NJ, on motion of Mr..
Bowler, the meeting adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the chair.

Has the credit of coneeiving the idea
that Eyeglasses would remedy defects
in the vision, but it was Monk who
brought the idea into practical use.
From that age to The present day
several centuries have passed, AND inn
provements in Eyeglasses have been
in progress.
The result is, Eyeglasses and Spec
tacles are more in use and favor than
ever before.
People of this generation no longer
entertain the idea that Eyeglasses are
worn for effect. Everyone admits that
their use is necessity in many cases.
If you need Glasses or Spectacles for

easy to obtain them. HoBRoE, NEW

DEFENSIVE MEASURES.

The act passed by the Delaware Legis-
lature empowering the governor TO APP
point constables to keep the peace at
the polls is defensive and retaliato ny.
The theory and practice Of the Dem
ocrats is and has been that every state.
every community is capable drumming its
own elections and of maintaining peace
at its own polls.
That theory was never disputed, that
practice was never varied till negro
politics was appended to the Republican
party as a special political department.
The negro could not read or write he was
as ignorant Of the characters and aims Of
the men who sought Office as he was
penniless and careless Of tho
taxes they imposed He had no
knowledge of and no interest in good
government. He was too densely ignor-
ant TO distinguish any difference between
an honest white man at home and a rene
gade ca'pet-bagger from Pennsylvania.
The surest and quickest way to influence
a large body Of such men was to deceive
and then inhame them

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


MNnlNiphi Government.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
10 is probably true, as asserted In one
OF the current magazines, that there is
not city in the land in which the re-
spectacle and intelligent citizens are not
in a majority and capable OF controlling
municipal elections and debating the
course of municipal government If they
would exercise the power that they
possess There is no reason why any city
should be at the mercy Of the ignorant and
criminal classes. 10 is only because the bet
ter element of society refuses or neglects to
look after It's own affairs that the other
element is able TO have it's way and to
perpetrate it's various oiIenses against
honesty and decency. When the bad
conspire the good should combine. This
is the way to secure a reputable and sat
isiactory management of municipal
affairs, and there is no other way by
which such a result can be accomplished
Experience has fully demonstrated the
fact that so far AS ordinary political
agencies are commemorative agencies by
which the interests of the diff
ferent parties I'm state and ma
tional contests are promoted-they count
for nothing in the work Of securing mn
MUnNfa
professional politicians of one party are
as corrupt and miscellaneous as those of
another. They cannot be trusted for
moment where reasonable consideration
for the public welfare is required They
are in politics for spells, and nothing
else, and all their operations are directed
to the object of getting as much Of the
city's money as possible into their own
pockets The cities of the country are
practically governed by these un-
scrupulous characters. They pros
per by means of their cunning in
the organization and manipulation of the
lower classes. II is there that their
strength lies. They know how to solidify
the hoodlum vote and cast it all in every
instance for given candidates. II is never
a majority vote counting the whole vot-
| ing population. but it is an effective vote
because it is disciplined and concentrated.
| II the good people Of city would act to-
gether with similar unaainity and
directness of purpose they could
do what they pleased. But they
are singularly indifferent TO tho
advantage thus presented They talk
Indignantly about the prevailing abuses
of municipal government, and yet per
sistently disregard the proper means of
correcting them There will be extrava.

proach, in the management Of city busi
