Clubs are the natural and necessary
offshoot q mans social nature, and
they have been potent in the history
and progress of the world for twenty
centuries 1t is prevalent idea of
some people that clubs mean simply
places where men meet to drink and
gamble and squander their time and
money; but it is not true. Clubs are
one of the powerful influences of re-
form and civilization and always have
been SO. In the last days of Athens
the most powerful institutions in her
midst were the clubs: the same was
true of Rome, and in the last part of
the seventeenth century the coffee
houses of London, out of which have
grown the present clubs, were the
great power of reform. They were the
meeting places of the people: the rich
man and the man of moderate means
went there for their news; went there
to feel as it were of public sentiment,
and lit was through their influence,
probably, that the Stuarts were driven
from power and greater liberty OBJ

we have shared. But it is with the
railroad that / wish to deal. because

The Railroad club, with, its social
and religious branches, is an institution
that happily meets a demand long felt
in the railroad world. That is a side
to the railroad world which is only
seen through institutions like that of
which the one in New York city may
be said to have been the real begin
ming. This club in New York, the
home for which was gift of Mr.. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, has membership
of quite 1880, while the total. atten-

a searching inquiry into the peculiar

y Small Vote Polled - The Result
Victory for Citizens Ticket.
The city election on Tuesday was the
quietest III the history of Aberdeen, the
voters apparently maniiesting little inter-
est as to the result. The few who did
use their right as American citizens,
went to the polls unmolcsted by the ira
ditional ward-heeer who is thoroughly
familiar with the pedigree and history of
each candidate, deposited his ballot in
the care OF the judges, and returned to
his place OF business often being the
only person at the polls except the men,
bers OF the election board. In fact, so little
interest did it create that many voters and
one or two candidates went down the bay
duck-hunting. The main strif., was that
between the candidates for city marshal
and city attorney, each being out renew
ing old acquaintance, and manifesting the
usual before-election interest in the we'll
fare and health of the family and whole
ancestry OF the dear voter. There was
also an occasional "ribber" encountered,
who predicted dire results unless his par
ticular candidate was successful. The
small majority Bell, for health officer. re-
ceived over Pratsch, indicates that the
popularity OF each is about even, as
neither made any special effort TO nhu-
ence voters in their behalf.
The most conspicuous feature about the
election was the exceeding "dryness" and
scarcity OF the accustomed twofer cigar
Even after the result was announced, the
same conditions prevailed, and the in
divldual who never fails to procure a sup
ply of cigars and fill himself with whisky
at the expense of the successful candi-
date, whether his vote helped elect him
or not, was compelled to retire without
his usual after-electisn grist.
| The successful candidates constitute
the entire Citizens Ticket, and with the
expcetion of mayor and three council
men are the present city officials. Mack,
for treasurer, received the highest vote,
with Bush, for clerk, good second,
while Weatherwax was not far behind.
Pearson, for marshal, received the high
est majority Of any of the contcsting cam
didates, showing that the voters Of Aber-
deem appreciate his good work in the
past The same feeling is manifest in
the good majority Hood received for
councilman at large. The contest fol-
city attorneyship was the closest, Nc
Kinlay being elected by only six votes
over Cross.
There were 27S voters registered, Of
which 2l9 voted. The vote in detail is
