THE THIRD WARD TICKETS.


After many fruitless attempts the com
laittce in whose hands was left the thankless
task of selecting a Democratic ticket in the
Third ward-for the purpose of being
showed under by shower of votes on the
18th nst.--has at last performed their duty.
The public announcement of their selections
has created much dissatisfaction in the camp
of the Democracy, while the Citizens view
the situation with perfect complacency The
usual majority in their favor in the ward is
100 great to cause them any uneasincss as to
the result
The men placed upon the Democratic ticket
are above reproach, and against them in
aividuallf we have nothing to say; but we
nave considerable to say in reference to the
nanplr in which the ticket was placed in the
65d, and we propose speaking plainly too.
DIRK -lantern politics has never yet proven
successful in the Third ward and it will re-
suit in ignominous defeat this time. Every
thing, they say, is fair in politics. and any
-hrowd move ON the part of the Democracy
we are always willing to commend and
applaud. but the line should be drawn when
"A member Of the Citizens party tries to hand
the ward over to the opposition by secret
alliance.
We have it upon the most reliable authority
that tho formation of the ticket was the work
Of disgrunted member of the Citizens
party, whose personal animosity against one
or two of the nominee, of the latter party
caused him to seek the councils of the opposi-
ton to carry out his traitorous purpose, and
in which he was unsuccessful at the Citizens
primaries. The lesson of the past should
have been sufficient warning, and when the
Citizens Of the ward are advised of the true
state of affairs we imagine the Third ward
will be a warm place for this individual who
would sacrifice every spark of principle in his
breast to satisfy personal animosity.
The Citizens voters of the ward have
made their selection of candidates, I'M fair
aud open fight at the primaries, and each
and every nominee will compare iavorably
with their opponents. The primaries are the
proper and only place to make the fight
While all the nominees may not have been
our personal choice, that is no reason to odel
in justification of an alliance with the enemy
Still, this world is made up of all kinds oi
human beings-some are small in stature and
small in principle while others are just the
opposite.
The announcement Of the ticket has
created so much dissatisfaction in the Demo

AMERICANS IN THE TRANsvAAL.


John Hays Hammonds Appeal for Deter.
mined Action by Our Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.--Senator Jones. of
Nevada, came to the state department
yesterday afternoon to confer with Secre-
tary Olney respecting the case of John
Hays Hammond, the American mining
engineer under arrest at Johannesburg on
charge of treason. The senator had a
long cablegram to himself from the pris.
oner, explaining in detail the origin of
the troubles in the lransvaal and the
grievances suffered by the American and
Dther foreign residents at the hands Of the
Beers.
Hammond declares that the reform
movement in Johannesburg was totally
unoonnected with the i'll starred Jameson
campaign, but was caused by the unbear-
able plight of the foreigners, who were
paying all of the taxes of the country
while being deprived of all right of repre-
sentation, although twice as numerous as
the Beers He urges that the United States
government bring pressure to bear upon
the Transvaal government to secure not
only the release of the American prison
ers, but the allowance to them of full civil
rights, and that If this direct effort fails
the United States unite with Great Brit
ain TO coerce the Beers
1t is surmised that the efforts of this
government at present will be confined to
an insistance upon an absolutely fair and
open trial Of the accused Americans.

times cured, and at other times failed, it
would lose the peculiar and exceptional
time one wants heart specific to do its
work is when heart trouble is showing it
self, for unlike other diseases, if speedy re-

likely to be fatal. Thousands bear testimony

be at its worst, and this medicine was taken,
relief was secured in thirty minutes, and in
a short time the disease was banished from
the system. One can hardly ask more Of

President Kruger Moves Cautiously.

LONDON, Feb 1.-The Times has dis
patch from Pretoria containing an inter
view with President Kruger, in which he
repeated that he had long considered how
TO meet the wishes of the Uitlanders. The
Legislative council had discussed an edu-
cational scheme acceptable to them, and it
had been decided to submit the scheme to
the volksrand, and also scheme for local
self government in Johannesburg. He
could give no promise, he said, on the
question Of the franchise. The govern
ment must discover which were the loyal
elements of the Uitlander population The
franchise could not be given to every new
conner, for they arrived by thousands every
year and would soon swamp the original
population. President Kruger is evidently
anxious to meet the wishes of the loyal
newcomers
