POLITICAL POINTERS.
No Clerk Present When Albert A. IrIon
 was Elected Road CommIanloner.

No Clerk Present When Albert A. 1rIon
 Was Elected Road Commissioners.
 President Hart of the common council is an astute politician under ordinary cir cumstances. but sometimes overreaches himself, and at this distance it looks as if he made fatal omission when he was en- gineering the election of A. A. Irion as road commissioner through the council the other night. The charter provides that the clerk of the board shall keep a record of the doings of that body. As Clerk Griffin was among the body of democrats who left the chamber on that evening he cannot certify any business transacted in his absence. No clerk pro tenn was ap- pointed, so the record of the meeting must of necessity be incomplete, unless Presi- dent Hart should arrogate to himself the right of furnishing the missing link and that would hardly ''go." If the democrats decide to force the matter it is clear that they have something tangible to stand upon.
 correspondent asks the DEMOCRAT whether professed populist may act with the democrats of his ward at the prima- ries. The question is one for the town committee to decide. The DEMOCRAT is of the opinion that the populists and demo- crats can have nothing in common. It is announced that the populists are going to take a hand in the local elections this fall. and if this be true. members of that party would be as much out of place in demo- cratic ward clubs as republicans.

 Shortly after he had finished his work at tho church he went home and told his wife that he had been shot in tho head. Then without any further remark he drow Q revolver and fired at her.

on,y Twenty-Five shots Exchanged.

LONDON, Aug. l3-The Times today publishes a dispatch from Tien-tsin con- hrming the report of an attack by Japan esc fleet upon the Chinese port of Wei tlai-Wei and Its ropulse. The Times dis latch says that 2l Japanese warships' and transports made an attempt to capture Wei Hai- Wei, but found that tho fortifica- ions guarding the port were too strong to allow of an entrance being forced. The warships attempted to run the forts, but were driven back by a heavy fire from the large Armstrong guns that arc there mounted on disappearing carriages
 Finding itself compelled to draw oh out of range of the guns. tho fleet went about and headed for Port Arthur, on the other side of the bay. with the evident intention of making an attack there. When tho fleet arrived at Port Arthur that place was found to be also prepared to resist an at tack. The warships fired few shots at tho forts and were promptly answered, and then all tho fleet departed.
 A dispatch to The Times from Shanghai says that the Chinese officials report of tho engagemnet at Wei Hai- Wei states that ony e5 shots were exchanged between the Japanese warships and the forts Tho report adds that ono of tho Japanese ships was hit thrce times and another one onco.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Hugh Nicoll, the old-time player, doesn't think the game is as fast as when he was in it. ''There is not the base run ming these days that there used to be-" says Nicol. ''The old players are getting too stiff for sprinting and sliding and the youngsters evidently think that there is no use of their taking chances when the veterans won't. Do you remember the great head and feet slides of the players five or six years ago? Well, do you see those slides now? Not a bit of it. Look over the summaries of games and see how few bases are stolen. and most of these are when there is a man on first and third. The old St Louis players were the greatest base runners in the business and won most of their games through it. The pub lie liked it, too. The present game is ever so much slower"

The Valuable Clifton.

The citizen who is of the most value TO
community, town or city is not always
the man who possesses the most wealth,
the highest intelligence or the most aris-
tocratic lineage. OF course the two for
mer will increase mans usefulness if
he will but exert them in the proper di-
rection. But the valuable citizen par
excellence is the man who believes thor
oughly in his town, its people and its
business and professional men. He does
not make it his business to decry the
honesty of his local banker or merchant
or the ability of the resident lawyer or
physician. But instead he is an en-
thusiastic advocate of all things that
pertain to the welfare of his own local
ity. He has the interest of its schools.
churches. societies and people at heart
and exploits their excellence abroad
We need more of this class of citizens
and have the material in our midst to
construct them.
