under the circumstances, if anything was
going to be done, inasmuch as the two
houses were at loggerheads on tho main
question, but it seems to US that it
would have been better to have
adjourned without doing anything.
Commissions as a rule spend all the
money appropriated for them, and fire.
quently good deal more. 1t is perfectly
safe to predict therefore that when the
legislature meets two years hence $25,-
900 will have been spent to satisfy the
commission what ought to be done.
But it by no means follows that the leg
islature will accept their recommends
tions. Recommendations of such bodies
are quite as likely to be rejected as ac-
cepted. If they are rejected then the
$4,000 will have practically been thrown
away. If they are accepted it will only
be after the legislature has done good
deal of investigating on its own account,
which it might have done just as well
without these recommendations. In any
event it seems to lis that large part of
the $25, 900 will have been wasted.
The conduct Of the Democratic orga
and the Democratic bosses of this city
since they got over their brief penitence
at the diselosuresin Ward One has been
such as to convince everybody of any
perception that their only regret is that
the fraud was discovered, and that the
fruits of it did not enure to their bene-
fit as fully as they might. Harper is de-
Tended and apologized for and encour-
aged to stick to his post of warden.
Guptill whose first impulse was to refuse
seat in the board of aldermen was bull
dozed into the acceptance of his certifi-
cate by the Falmouth Club and the
Young Mems Democratic Club. Simp-
son and Tibbets who also had some
qualms of conscience were overpowered
in the same way, and finally Mayor In
graham himself after repeatedly declar-
ing that he was sick of the whole dirty
mess and would not run again was forced
by party pressure to again become the
candidate. The only man who has been
pursued by the Democrats--and the pur-
suit of him has been most malignant--is
the ex-city clerk who furnished the evil
dence which compelled MI. Ingraham to
return his certificate and resign. By
their conduct the Democratic bosses
have made the fraud in Ward One the
leading issue in the coming campaign.
Mayor Ingraham is running to vindicate
Tom Harperand if he should be elect
ed the voters of this town will practically
declare that Harper is martyr and that
his prosecution is persecution.

How IT Seemed.

When old Mr.. Sawyer, of Scramtown,
made his first visit to the city he saw
and heard a great many new and strange
things, but he was always wary in his
his comments.
One day his little granddaughter en-.
ticed him into a restaurant, and, lead.
ing him to small table, proceeded to
order some eclairs, a delicacy of which
she was extremely fond.
II know you'll like Them grandpa"
she said, coaxingly, and the old gentle
man havely attacked the unfamiliar
object.
isn't it delicious, grandpa?'' in.
quired the little girl, seeing strange
expression come over her grandfather's
face as he took his FIRST nouthful.
'sWell, presume to say it may be, .

tone, but doesn't it appear to you to
be jest leetle mite underbaked in the
