Suggestions to the City.

The City council would do we'll
to look into the way the city
government expenditures are
made. Since it seems to be so hard
to pay off. What is the use of
four market masters; what good
does milk inspector do. Why don't
you let the garbage contract out to
some responsible contractor, it
would cost less and the work would
be done. Why don't you cut down
the police force to an efficient basis !;
why don't you comply with the
charter and let our new public
work by contract, it would not cost
one-half what it does now. 1t may
seem rather late to begin reform {;
better late than never.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I2.-United
States Consul Ford, at Kingston,
hearing from American newspa-
pers that Mr.. Vanderbilt has i'm
ported the moongoose for his es-
tate, near Ashville, N. c., has sent
out a note of warning through a
report to the State department,and
says it will be we'll for our govern
ment to profit by Jamaica's exper-
fence and prohibit the importation
of the mongoose into the United
States.
He recounts the evil effects fol-
lowing the introduction of the
animal from the Indies into ia
maica to destroy rats which infest-
ed the plantation. They did their
work SO well and increased so
rapidly that their animal food
supply was exhausted and they be-
gan to prey on all small living
creatures. All ground birds were
wiped out, all snakes, toads and
land crabs, newly dropped
calves, young pigs, puppies, game,
turtles, all fell victims to the mon
goose, which became a mnch worse
pest than the sparrow in America
and the rabbit in Australia. AS
result of the distraction of these
small creatures, all insects multi.
piled amazingly until they have
become pestilence at some sea-
sons, and the people of Jamaica
now want to exterminate the mon
goose,

The Reason for Dismissal.

The conflict Of the State law with
the City ordinances, was the cause
of the dismissal Of the cases against
the parties who interfered with the
officers. The charge should have
been made before a Justice Of the
Peace, as it was violation of a
State law, over which the city, it is
claimed, had no Jurisdiction. AL
though the city has paid a great
deal Of money to have the Ordi-
nances revised and reprinted, they
are still a piece Of poor botchwork
OF laws, and full of repetition and
conflictions.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
1t would seem from the fact that
the "Big 6" were successful that the
people are not yet tired of Mexican
politics.
The fact that the Mexican flag
floated over Mutualista hall,
where the voting place Of the 3rd
precinct was held, was an incident
that no one noticed. The Mexican
flag flies over this building at all
times.
The undying loyalty of the Mex
lean people to their native country
is nothing to their discredit. The
fact that natives of Mexico never
become citizens OF the United
States, but simply voters in Texas,
I Mexicans a contempt for the Unit
ed States.
The Mexican voting places were
under the complete control Of the
"Big 6" combination, and il speaks
we'll for the honesty of the judges
that they permitted the opposite
ticket to have any votes at all.
But Mexican politics was not
confined entirely to the other side
Of the San Pedro creek. Judge
Noonan's vote was cut short at
least 1000 by the manipulation at
the polls.
In many respects the election
was one of the most STAINLESS ever
held in the city.
The registration lists only show
1OSS MeXicans registered as voters,
of these over 500 were tlOaters and
no doubt many left the city before
election. Yet, with this voting
force, thoroughly corrupted, an
office holders trust perpetuates it
self in office and assumes to dictate
who shall hold office in the city
government.
| The Australian ballot law is
blamed for all the highhanded
acts committed on election day.
This is ridiculous. II the old sys-
tenn OF voting had been in vogue
it is more than certain that the
men who exercised control at the
last election would have simply
taken the polls all over the city.
|
The foundation of Mexican poll
tics is successful matter what
happens or what is done, success
covers up the guilty, and laughs in
the face OF the defeated.
All reform in our local govern
ment is out of the question as long
as Mexican politics prevail.

Only the most meagre information was

MILITARY NOTES.


The Report on the Last EncsmpmeIt.
Capt Morris c. Foote of the 9th United
States infantry, who was detailed to the
last encampment of the Vermont bri Iade,
at Rutland, has made an extended report.
Maj. Foote submits several recommends
tions. He thinks that the companies of
the infantry regiment should be supplied
with haversacks similar to those in use in
the regular service, that they be provided
with field cartridge belts and shelter tents
and that a subsistence department be Or
gained The encampment should be held
the longest period allowed by law, eight
days. Major Foote approves of the plan
OF taving permanent camp ground at
Fort Ethan Allen. Some system of exam
inatiOn might be established for officers on
being commissioned and promoted: this
would tend to give class of officers who
would be Jealous and ambitious, and keep
them up in a knowledge of drill regulations
and general duties. As the National Guard
is liable to be called upon in case of riots,
Maj. Foote recommends that Hotchkiss
or Calling gun be attached to the infantry
regiment. In closing he says:
There is no fear but that the Vermont
National Guard will maintain the excellent
standard it has held in the past, and con-
tinue to improve in the future, so long as
it is in the hands of such capable officers
and gentlemen as those who now control
