he prefers a lion to a fox. II Mr..
O'Farrell was making the comparison
with reference to size he should have
used the hippopotamus instead of the
lion, Notwithstanding hat the former
animal takes to water. The Demo-

is natural, however. Comparing Hill
to a fox was very pat. The garden

interest every voter, to say nothing of
the ten thousand dollars more offered
toward making the school and church
property into public park that will be
an ornament to the place, thereby ma
terially increasing the value of property
throughout this end of the town. The

The Horse Rai|rad and the
WoIkingman,

Kelly says the workingmen of this city
will now have an opportunity to tell
which political party in our city govern
ment is the friend of the workingman.
The horse railroad in their desire to use
electricity as motive power, are asking
the city to grant them concessions which
will add greatly to their already valuable
franchise. If these concessions are to be
granted to the railroad, then the people of
this city, and especially the workingmen,
should be entitled to concessions that
would be equally valuable TO themselves.
One important concession should be that
the workingman should secure a reduced
fare on week days to and from work. 1t
lies with the common council, which is
now republican, to secure the adoption of
this concession, and therefore the work
ingman may watch with interest the out
come.
