Eon't Whimper.

The supporters OF the defeated
ticket In Saturdays primary accuse
their opponents Of using the sack to
carry their ticket. The INDEPENDENT
doesn't know anything about it, but
1t cannot believe that members Of the
immaculate old God and Morality
party would use the sack against each
other IN primary election.
We always supposed that none but
wicked Democrats ever coveted filthy
lucre on election day, consequently,
we are irathe to believe that any
voters Of the q. o. P. were influenced
by coin last Saturday. It cannot be-.
But if such things can be true, the
defeated faction has tho sympathy
of all good Democrats who know how
it Feels to be struck by ii Republican
sack on election day. Don't whimper
too much boys, the sack may be on
your side next time.

OF his life as u printer. Mr.. Crockett
has spent the greater portion of his

At five minutes per column it would
take year, 3 months and Is days to

If measured by the "em" it would
aggregate 140,400,O00 ems.
At 30 cents per LOCO ems, this
amount would be worth S49,140.
This much type would weigh 1885,
240 pounds. 1t would contain 42l,-
100000 letters.
If these letters were laid end to
end they would cover a distance of

He would have set the unabridged
edition Of Webster's dictionary IL

If placed in one long column 1t

If the metal were moulded into
bullets it would furnish ammunition

White Rosidents Near Monroe Park Wish
TO Use that Beautiful Place.
At the meeting Of the Grounds and Build
ings Committee yesterday afternoon Mr..
Henry L. Carter made statement in which
be said that the colored population Of Rich
mond had taken possession of Monroe Park,
and that Il was now OF little If any use TO
the white citizens of the city. On Sunday
afternoons, especially, he said, one can find
every bench ia the park occupied by
some black individual, and people living
in that neighbOrhOod were OF the opinion
they had some right TO the Park and meant
20 assert IT, Mr.. Carter suggested that half
Of the benches be painted white and half
black, the latter 70 be used by the negroes
and the white benches by the white people.
Mr.. Noble thought il would be good
plan il the city would set apart two even
ngs IN the week for colored people, and
that at other times only could the whites
occupy the grounds.
City Attorney Meredith was Of the opin-
ion that the benches could be locked down
to the ground. and that upon application TO
the park keeper by white people the seats
be placed in a position to allow occupancy.
After further discussion Mr.. Turpin
moved that the City Attorney be requested
TO give MS opinion IN the case and report at
the next meeting. The motion was adopted
and the subject will be again discussed by
the Councllmen IN about two weeks.
