City Council elected nine city officers
Thursday night. There has been keen
competition and sharp fighting among
many applicants for these places. Nat
urally the men who failed to secure the
places they wanted do not to-day feel
very pleasant over their defeat. There is
also more or less feeling of disappoint-
ment In certain wards which have no
representatives on the chosen list. Such
things inevitably follow such work as
City Council had to do Thursday night.
Butthere are some things about the selec-
ton Of these city officers which must be
gratifying to the general public. One
is that Council has chosen competent
and reputable men. There is every
reason to anticipate that the city will
get good service. Another is that the
selections were not machine made.
Some criticism has been INDUCED in
because of the long and frequent eau
cuses held by the Democratic members.
Those caucuses have given conclusive
evidence that the members have not
been under the control of any ring for,
if they had left the making of slate to
political bosses, ten-minute caucus
wcuid have been quite long enough to
put through the slate. Wilmington had
enough of rule bya city ring during the
time the Republicans had majority.
The public reioices at this evidence that
there IS not another ring or clique in
control Of the city government through
the new Democratic majority. Another
good feature about Thursday nights
selections is that the men chosen are not
old political hacks. Only one Of the
nine has ever held office before. They

1t is not known yet how many of these
bills are in existence. but we fancy they
can all be paid out of the surplus left from

This remarkable declaration is made
in response to Il reasonable complaint Of

ing committee Of last years Council,
and which will have TO be paid out OF
the printing appropriation for the cur
rent year. Other committees, Mr.. Smith
believes, are confronted with the same
condition Of affairs.
The Ndlds consoles itself with the
fancy that these left over bills can
"be paid ont Of the surplus left from
last years appropriation" but this is
only fancy As a matter of fact,
they cannot be. Last years appro.
priations are, to use an expression very
popular with our ncighbor, "functus

ence. No matter what balances they
contained at the expiration Of the last
fiscal year, on June 30th, such balances
are not available now. And the old
bills just coming to light will, when
paid, be charged to the appropriations
for the current year.
These old bills are legacy of debt
left TO the present Council by its prede.
cessor. The old appropriations have
lapsed, and in its fiscal operations of the
current year, Council will be unjustly
hampered to the sum total of the de-
layed accounts. This is why Mr.. Smith
complains and he has jlstcausc to do so.

1t is altogether loo soon to begin to
complain of the work done by the s. P.
G. A. in the matter of dog-catching.
Although it has been about month
since the retiring City Council passed
an ordinance authorizing the mayor to
contract during July with this society
to do the city dog-catching for 81 800 a
year, the contract itself was signed less
than week ago. The S. p. @. A. did
not become the city dog-catcher until
the contract was signed. Now the con
tract has been signed and the city and
the society are bound for one year.
Neither can get out of it. During the
six days which the s. P. G. A. has been
in office as dog-catcher, it has been ener.
getically preparing to do the work. The
dog pound had tobe repaired. A wagon
bad to be secured. In short, all of the
apparatus for prosecuting the noble art
OF dog.catching had to be purchased. the
tools and instruments used by the former
dog-catcher being private property.
mn
The society has chosen George Kopp to
be Its executive officer in catching dogs,
and 1t will employ some one else to
assist him in the work. These employees
Of the s. ?. @. A. will be on salary and
Will have no share in deg fees. Just
what salary the society will pay them
is matter of no direct public concern
The city pays the society 81 800 to per-
form the duties of dog catcher. What
the public is interested in is the service
which the society will give in exchange
Tor the $500. This is a considerably
larger sum of money than the dog.catcher
received under the old arrangement,
and the public has the right to expect
considerably better service. The S. p
Q. A. says that it does not propose to
make any money oil of dog catching. 1t
will spend the $500 in doing the work
in better and more merciful way than
1T has ever been done before. The public
must not be too impatient to give the
society an opportunity to settle down to
Its dog-catching work. 1t is necessary
that mad dogs, bad dogs and masterless
dogs be removed from the city, and we
hope that tho new arrangement will re.
suit in removing them in merciful
manner.

rightly used. The many, who live bet

the value to health of the pure liquid

The Legislature.

Nashville, May 1O.-The lower house
of the general assembly killed the CEN
tennial appropriation today by vote of
80 to Ga, and the senate passed the COM
mittee penitentiary bill in badly
tangled condition.
The penitentiary bill is not satisfac-
tory to anybody, and unless the house
fixes it up it may be the cause of an extra
session. It is not believed Gov. Turney
will sign it in its present shape. The
section relative to leasing out the con-
victs to Baxter's road after January 1
was cut out, but whether or not the old
prison shall be repaired or new prison
built at cost of $350,O0O is left to the
discretion of the governor, attorney
general and penitentiary purchasing
and building committee. This is a
shifting of responsibility that it is not
believed these gentlemen will desire.
AS passed the convicts at the expiration
of the present lease are to be worked in

erection, should it be decided to build

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS



Judge Anderson, of the Criminal
Court of Davidson County, last week
charged his grand jury as to the frauds,
rascalities and swindles alleged to have
been perpetrated against the State by
men in the States employ in reference
to the letting of contracts of the build
ing of new State prison. The recent
report of the legislature Investigating
committee, making charges of bribery
and corruption against builders, con-
tractors and architects, was made the
basis of the judges charge, and he de-
manded a thorough investigation and
indictments if the grand jury deemed
the proof justified.
Judge Anderson furnished the jury
with copy of the report of the assembly
committee and also copy of the letter
of Ed Laurent, supervising architect,
asking for an investigation of the
charges against him. In charging the
jury relative to the election laws, Judge
Anderson said it was the duty of the
court to enforce the law as found upon
the statute books, and he would charge
the jury that the laws requiring voters
to pay their poll tax was valid one.
The legislature, be continued, under
the constitution, has prescribed what
shall be satisfactory evidence that he
has done this, and the legislature has
not transcribed its constitut ional
authority in this particular, and he
would charge the jury that the law is
valid and constitutional.

Destructive Cloudburst.

Dayton was visited one day last week
by a most destructive cloudburst fol-
lowed by a heavy hail and wind storm.
The streets of the city were inundated
and the creek which runs through the
town overfowed its banks, covering the
whole surrounding country. Two of the
bridges in the principal street of the
town were washed away. Hail stones
as large as hen eggs fell, breaking the
glass in all unshuttered windows and
pelting down the standing crops, fruit
trees and gardens. This was followed
by wind storm of unusual violence
which completed the work of demolish-
ing the small crops, fruit trees, etc. In
the town and vicinity several small
houses were blown over, but no fatalities
occurred. The nearest to an accident
was the escape of a blacksmith and his
two sons who had taken refuge in a barn
to escape the storm. The barn was
blown off two hundred yards but the
men miraculously escaped injury. The
crops of that section are irreparably
damaged.

Jumped From a FIyIng Train.

Mace Hopper leaped from flying
train on the Gulf g. Chicago railroad
near Middleton last week, breaking one
of his jaws, two ribs and and otherwise
injuring himself. He has on several
occasions asked the conductor to stop
the train at saw mill near there. and
time and again the conductor has re-
fused his request, stating it was posi-
lively against the roads orders to stop
the train at the saw mill. He told the
conductor that he was going to jump
off, and the conductor asked him not to
do so, as he would certainly get hurt.

NOTES EoR WOMEN.

JOHN HUNTER, the famous anatomist,
once said that the feminine love of con-
versation was consequence of a pecul-
iarity in brain tissue.
AS ARTISTS, women have shown more
taste than originality. They paint
landscapes and portraits beautifully,
but rarely achieve great pictures.
THE brain of woman is absolutely
smaller than that of man, but is stated
to be somewhat larger in proportion to
the weight of the body.
A WOMAN with military nose and
prominent chin is certain to make her
mark All female society leaders have
had such facial peculiarities.
