WAS nominated for Intendant and j. n. Durst

dens These gentleman will be duly elected
today. Since there Is no man no devoid Oh
sense that he caunot give advice, let us make
two suggestions 10 these new omclals. See 10
1t that every citizen pays his taxes or WORKS
the required time on the streets, no matter
how worthless he liz. We see no reason why
q lazy, thieving, gambling loafer should not
be required 70 pay his taxes just The same
planning although be may have TO labor tii-
teen hours per day TO make both ends meet
The other suggestion Is; "Let them be light,
particularly on the streets near the business
houses. The merchants are the heaviest TAX
payers and nobody should complain OF lit:

Gov. Tillman tells us that the reason why
he does not want Hon. NJ. l.. Donaldson given
Federal office Is because Donaldson sup
ported Cleveland in the National Convention.
This Is equivalent TO saying TO PRESIDENT
Cleveland: You must not give this man any
thing because he is your true and tried friend.
This is gall" indeed.
This once proud old State is the laughing
stock OF the country and the butt OF u thous-

The most level-headed men Of this town are
the doctors. They have an organ ization the
prime object OF which IL to enable them TO
collect their bills. When man Is able, but
will not pay one OF them, the other members
are notified OF the fact and not one OF them
will respond TO q call from the delinquent
until he satisfies the creditor. This Is as II
ought to be and the idea being such good
one 1t is probable that 1t will be adopted by |
men in other lines Of business.
A paper published in Darien, Ca, says that
the prospect is good and that large crops Will

What shall we do? Senator Hoar says the
people can't be trusted TO elect the right men

since the organization of the Board OF
Trade, q few weeks ago, many matters oil In
terest have been considered and new energy |
is being infused which bodies much good fol
the business men and people OF the town al
large. The motto OF every loyal and public
spirited citizen should be d,sinsd ct dde, for
nothing else can take the place OF confidence
In yourself and your surroundings.

The schedule OF the mail trains of the p. r.
