Editor Democrats Star:

Mayor, Mr.. j. Z. Rich has made u record
that fills Que Of the brightest pages in
the history Of the city. He is evidently
easily twenty years in advance of our
easy, slow.going people, and in after
years when our city is full OF sewers,
which he IS try ing to get the people to
adopt, they will turu backward to thank
him for his foresight. 1t Is to be hoped
that in the selection Of u successor we
will not have foisted upon us some slow
coach, who, from tear Of his W pocket,
will retard the movement NJ well iuaugu-
rated. Another officer Is u pleasant sur.
prise, and that is our sheriff, Mr.. p. r.
Dorian. We well remember the asser
tons made during the campaign prec d.
ing his election, that il elected, the gam
blels OF the city, large and small, would
be in the ascendency, and that his APP
p%Ointments would all be from that class OF
citizens, and the enforcement OF the
law would at least be very lax. Bnt the
reverse is the case. We do net remem-

Baseball is now the rage, and Mobile

losing the third only by an accidental

Keep it NJ.
And speaking of chloride of gold, re.
minds me that We have a new institute
here now for the cure OF liquor, morphine,
opium. cocaine and tobacco la bits as well
as all nrrvOus diseases. 1t IS known as
the HAGEY lNsTITuT and they have
fitted up u suite o, rooms on Daurhin
street, opposite the PJb!ic Square. The
Hagey Formula is not the saule formdla
as the Kelley formula, although thcy
use gold as the basis in the treatment of
all diseases mentioned. I don't propose
to write u temperance letter, bnt l have
a tender feeling for o drinking man, and
know that many of them ere noble fell

have often wished COlcnel Gardiner, late
editor Of the Neps had fallen into their

Of advantage to both himself and title.
One of it's great advantages is that men
Of all grades OF ealing can taie this
treatment without inte rjerence with

the time that God tod Cain that his

let preaching alone. and if yon want to
save . father, Il husband, a Liathec or u
friend, give him the Hasey Cure until
the whiskey is eradicated. and you will
be doing God service by calling attention
to this great remedy. W.S.C.
