Why Consider the Name of Stark.
weather?

Every year as regular as the election
time comes editorials are published
crying for good clean government,
asking the business men TO bestir them
selves and see that good reliable men
are elected to the chief offices of the
city," and all such chatter, which the
writer's evidently d. not mean, az, no
matter who the nominee of the party to
which they belong is. they usually turn
in and help elect him. We do not be
leve the business men want a good
government any more than the citizens
generally do, and when Il man has been
tried as Mr.. Starkweather has been and
FOUND WANTING, wanting and really
getting more than his share, it is pretty
good proof that people are not dying
for pure government when the theory
Is advanced by many citizens that he
ought to be unanimously elected to the
highest office within the power of the
citizens of Superior to give, that of
Mayor. Such sentimental political talk
as Is heard on every street corner, that
he was downed by gang worse, much
worse than he was" is no reason why
when it was proven to the satisfaction
of the Supreme court that he was not
the proper person to act as chief eXecu-
tive, that he should be duly chosen to
again hold the reins of government.
There is no danger of Mr.. Stark wealth
er's reelection, and We feel sure that
some of the crowd who reicned su-
preme after the downfall of their
MAYOR will be laid on the shelf, and it
follows that we must every year try
some new man in the hope of at last
electing one who will be true, honest
and honorable. Who it will be remains
for the citizens to say. There will al
ways be deals and promises, but let
them be in behalf of the best interests
of the city and its people, not for the
personal accumulation of wealth, or
political power; then we will see q
broader and better administration.

Questionable Friendship.

Can it be possible that the men who
favored and arranged Spooner meet
ing for Thursday evening at the West
end, and went so far as to try and work
up a sentiment for John &. Spooner for
President of the United States are true
friends Of the man?
What kindness or honor is it to man
to be trotted out by newspaper or two
in few towns throughout a single
state. and be held up to the nation as a
choice for President? Had Mr.. Spooner
been consulted earlier the enthusiasts
might have spared themselves the pub
lie embarrassment of proposing to do
one thing and deciding at the request
of the party most interested, to do an
other. The following telegram was re-
ceiyed from Col. SpOoner as soon as he
heard of the move here.
II am inexpressably grateful TO my
friends for their desire to honor me,
but 1t - MY s"rn@st Nsiah tlot -atFnrt
be made In that direction
Had these would-be leaders of Wis
consln politics unitedly brought Col.
Spooner out for United States Senator
IN the first place, they would have then
been able to lead in the triumphal pro-
cesslon, for Mr.. Spooncr is all right for
Senator. but would not do at all as
President. We are sorry Superior made
this mistake, but she has settled down
TO the proper basis now, and will work
faithfully to secure his election to the
Senate.

Openfnc Court With PRAYER,

One of the learned justices of the
Maine supreme court, than whom nc
man better knows how to appreciate a
really amusing thing, was holding court
at Ellsworth, and, according to hOnored
custom. called in local clergyman to
open the session with a supplication to
heaven. This worthy gentleman came,
and after n chat with the justice pro.
ceeded to address the giyer of all good
and perfect things thus: almighty
God, we beSeech Thee to beStow upon
the presiding justice the wisdom which
he so greatly needs" 1t is said that
the same judge once opened court
after prayer, which began this way:
"Oh, Lord. we pray Thee to ovcrI7llc
the decisions Of the court 20 Thine own
honor and glory. ".-Bangor CONNER

The Presidential Office.

EX-President Harrison writes on
Country of Ours" series, in February
Ladies' Home Journal. In discussing
the constitutional provisions for the
selection of a Chief Magistrate, lie
touches upon the discussion in the con-
vention relative to a plural executive
for the nation, and upon the point
presents his own views: Experience
has so fully justified the conclusion
reached by the Constitutional conven-
ton In this matter "a single executive
head that no change has ever been
suggested. The incumbent has never
satisfied every one. but the discomfort
ed have never sought relief by giving
him a double. Executive direction
should always be single. When any
thing is wrongly done we must be able
to put hand on the man who did it.
The sense Of responsibility begets care
fulness, and that sense is never so per-
feet as when, after full consultation,
the officer must 20 alone into the
chamber of decision. In all the recent
reform city charters this principle is
made PROMINENTLY giving the mayor
the power to appoint the city boards
and officers, and SO making him respon-
sible for the efficiency of the city
government. Two Presidents or three
with equal powers would as surely
bring disaster as three Generals OF
| equal rank over a single army. l do
not doubt that this sense of single and
personal responsibility to the people
has strongly held our Presidents to a
good conscience and to a high dis
charge Of their great duties.

The Song of the Bonds.

We are coming. Uncle Samuel, one hundred
million more;
We are marshaling our forces with Grover
at the fore.
And the ShyIocks down in Wall Street, and
the sharpers DER the sea,
Are stroking now their swelling breasts, in
sordid, ghoulish glee.
We are coming, We are coming one hundred
million more.
And the country must be burdened with a
debt as ne'er before;
And the blight we give to business, and the
misery cause,
Is the outcome of fool tinkering with whole
some tariff laws.
We are coming, Uncle Samuel, one hundred
million more,
We compose an army larger than was ever
known before;
And against the country's welfare we are
solidly arrayed-
Our lineage Democratic, and our shibboleth
Free Trade"
We are coming, we are coming. one hundred
million more,
And in volume we bear likeness to the flood
of Father Noah;
We will make the people weary, while the
nations heart despOnds.
Because OF Growers issuance of the bonds,
bonds, bonds.
We are coming, Uncle Samuel, one hundred
million more,
The country seeks a Door OF Hope" but
where, o, where's the door?
II there's such thing as bondage, we have
got the people fiat,
For this bond administration has attended
well to that.
We are coming. we are coming, one hundred
million more,
And Johnny Bull, eHultant, chews the morsel
DER and DER;
For, whatever i'll betides us. It's a gratifying
thing
To note decadence in land not ruled by
Gar or King.
