are still at it. They cut another huge
block off the taxable values of the
city, yesterday, and next week they
are to go at it again with a will. So
far, not a single poor man has bene-
fitted by their operations. They have
devoted their energies to reducing the
burdens of rich men. owning property
on the richest t~horoughfare in the
city. OF course, rich men have their
rights. We should be sorry to suggest
any such ~demaSoGic idea as that they
should be unfairly taxed in order that
poor men might be nnduly released
from their liabilities, We merely
draw attention TO the queer, fact that
poor men, small holders, have had no
attention whatever as yet from Mayor
Wanser's Commissioners, while they
have cut an average of one-eighth
from thee assessments of all the
wealthy men and estates who have
applied to them.
The reductions made yesterday

The Dear Old BOYS.

The reunion of the dear old boys
of School No. /, last evening, was one
of those occasions in which pleasure
and pathos mingle, or rather, in
which the strain of sadness gives the
finest edge to the enjoyment of the
hour. There was much jollity and
much pride in every heart about the
festive board, the progress of years,
the harvest of present success, were
taken at their full par value, but
there remained in every mind the
memory of the days of youth and
responsibility, when hearts were
gay and life looked ages long ahead.
There is nothing bitter in gray
hairs when they come with honor and
ease as their accomplishments, but
they are apt to beget a gentle melan-
choly when they are brought into
sharp contrast with the memory's
pictures of faces in the past.
TO one figure in the gathering, the
gratitude not only of his own dear
old boys" but of every citizen in the
community, is due that splendid
old teacher who 'builded better than
he knew in that he gave to the city
so many of its leaders in every honor
able and progressive pursuit. 1t is
impossible to imagine any finer re-
ward of a ripe old age than to be able
oneself to muster in tangible array
as George H. Linsley can-such an
enormous total Of good effected, of
benefit conferred, new and living
force injected into the great struggle
for the happiness and progress of
mankind. The way of the school
master may be l%aborious, but it has
its reward.

Republican Preferences.

Republican Preferences.
The Newark Daily Advertiser sent
a circular letter to every delegate from
this State to the Minneapolis conven-
ton, asking each to name his pre- fer
ence for President and Vice President.
1t has received answers from all but
two of the twenty delegates, and as
respects the Presidential nomination,
this is the result
II for Harrison as first choice.
Z for Blaine as first choice.
Tho advertiser says the remaining
two are on record as saying that they
had no preference. As for second
choice, only three delegates stated
any preference. They were two for
Blaine and one for Harrison.
Respecting the Vice Presidency, a
majority said their choice would de-
pend on who was to head the ticket.
Eight positive preferences were given.
They were:-
5 for Morton.
/ for Alger.
/ for Phelps.
/ for Lincoln.
The favorite ticket, on the whole,
was Harrison and Morton.
Probably the preferences here
stated are honest. They do not, how
ever, represent public opinion in the
Republican party of this State. On a
popular vote by Republicans, Blaine
would be ahead by 10 to l. When the
delegation ZONES to vote at Mime
apolis, however, there will be no first
choice for Blaine. Harrison will get
the twenty votes solid. General Sewell
will give them to him.

There is girl in San Francisco who

white and shapely, and very nice TO look
at but TO touch-ugh, there as cold as

dripping wet, these strange hands. It's

doesn't go through strange evolutions or
weird incantatons. She just pushes
back her sleeves and lays her cold, wet
hands on the aching head. The patient
feels a queer. creepy, shivery sensation
crawling down her back. The cold hands
move slowly across the hot forehead or
