COLONEL. TROY announces that he will not vote on Monday. He announces the most astounding proposition of law. He declares be is working to purify the ballot. But after all is said, he will not frighten any man away from the polls. Colonel Troy's position in society and at the bar is too high for any newspaper to treat him with discourtesy, but we may be permitted to say that he is the most ardent kolb man we know of. He writes the longest Kolo letters of anybody on earth, so long that nobody is affected by them.

THE charter of the city of Birmingham authorizes the Mayor and Aldermen to collect S5 street tax from all able bodied male inhabitants of the city between the ages of IS and 45. If the tax amendment fails to carry this may have to be done, which would work a great hardship on many or our people.

j. d. PheIan's Hints to
the Merchants.
He Suggests to Their Association
Several Practical Lines of
City Improvement.

f. W. Dohrman, president OF the Merchants
Association, is in receipt OF lengthy COM
munication from James ID. Phelan containing
numerous valuable suggestions for the inn
pTOvement OF the city.
The author expresses himself as beirg
heartily 10 accord with the reform movement
originated by the association, and says that in
view of his having given much thought TO the
subject while visiting GILES IN Europe, he feels
capable OF judging what improvements are
possible at home
His first suggestion Is with regard TO the
sewer system. In this connection lie believes
that money could be saved and the best results
be secured by entering into an arrangement
with Narlng, tile engineer, who has made a
special study of this subject, by which he
would come TO San Francisco, STUDY the subject
aud report practical plan for a sewer system,
which could be carried out under the supervl-
sion or the local engineers.
In regard 10 telegraph and other wires Mr..
Phelan suggests that ali companies using the
same should be compelled 10 put them under
ground in a conduit, If possible. The longer
this Is delayed the more expensive IL will be on
the part OF all concerned, and the stronger Will
De the opposition on the part OF corporations
which Will necessarily be put 10 some expense.
DE further holds that all distractions on the
sidewalks, including newsstands. boo black
stands and advertising boards, and merchan-
disc exposed by storekeepers in cases or other
wise, should be removed.
He here calls attention to the recent expert
ence OF San Jose IN this respect BY ordinance
The City Council required this TO be done. Nj Ell
chants objected. but It was done nevertheless.
Now the merchants agree that they made a
mistake in Offering any objection, for The i'm
proved appearance OF streets inviting people 10

pend on street sweeping machines or work

allowed 10 sweep the dirt of their stores into

he writer also calls attention 10 the secret
OF fine boulevards, such as make attractive

In closing he calls attention 10 the fact that
San Franci-co, by reason of its splendid
climate, should be a great winter resort and IL
