tors in front and rear. Every article

THE PROPOSED SECRET SESSIONS
OF the Council sub Committe on New City
Charter.

or the Council Sub Committe on New CITY
Charter.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Kindly permit an humble cit
izen taking quite an interest in local
government matters to file an earnest
protest against the apparent intention
of the subcommittee on new City
Charter to hold their deliberations be-
hind closed and locked doors. Such a
course would SAVIOR TOO much Of the
peculiar reform" methods of the pres
ent misrule al the City Hall to be pOpu-
lar, and if the gentlemen of the sub
committee will take a hint in the
friendly spirit in which it is offered
they Will drop the secret session idea
right where il is.
They are engaged in public business
of the first importance when they frame
an instrument, which may be the funda-
mental law of our city for the next half
century, and the people have a right to
the fullest information as to what is
being done, how it is being done, and
who is doing it. Not only this, but as
matters progress and plans are evolved
sible that someone may have an idea
CT more or less value to lay before the
body Under a system of secret ses-
sions this could not be done for the
reason as no one would know what was
going on, there would be no public
thought upon the matter
We have lately had an example Of an
effort to do public business in the
dark, and the result ought to settle that
sort Of thing for some time to come
Let the gentlemen of the sub-cOmmit-
tee hold their sessions at the City Hall,
and allow the people to at least keep
in touch with what is going on. There
will, l take it. be no effort to embarrass
the gentlemen. in their deliberations,
but rather a kindly interest in what
they may say and do on the part of
citizens generally.

A BOA HANGS ITSELF.
1t Had Swallowed Monkey at the other
End of a Chain.

1t Had Swallowed a Monkey at the Other
End of a Chain.
New York, April "a big boa con-
strictor met death in a strange manner
in the animal store of II. Hole, Will
liamsburg. The boa, which was the
property of Mr.. Hole, was on exhibit
ton at the Atlanta Exposition. After
the show there was over. it was brought
back to Williamsburg. where it remain
ed in a big box waiting for the Rocka-
way season to open. when it would be
exhibited at a menagerie at the beach.
In the back room Of Mr.. Holes
store there are monkeys and parrots
and rabbits. and many odd-lOoking an
finals in cages. A few of the rabbits
and pigeons were sacrificed at intervals
to feed the boa constructor. Several
nights ago Mr.. Hole locked up his
store at 10 o'clock and went home.
When ne entered the place the next
morning he found cages broken and
animals running about at liberty.
Hole is an old animal trainer, and is
familiar with all their tricks. but he
could hardly believe his eyes when he
saw the boa constructor, which had
left the securely nailed box. dangling
from a chain from the ceiling. The
night before there had been a big Java
monkey attached to the chain 1t was
nowhere to be found. The boa was
dead, and its body and tail were bruised
where it had dashed the air in its death
struggle. This accounted for the
broken cages and generally dilapidated
condition Of things in the store.
First making sure that the snake
was really dead. Hole and his assist
ant. who had come in, cut down the
body 1t was then discovered that the
boa had swallowed the monkey, and
that it was firmly lodged in the snakes
throat. Unable to extricate itself. the
monster had strangled to death at the
end of the chain.

THE ISSUE IN MARTINS FERRY
Martins Ferry. o.. April s. IS

Martins Ferry, O.. April s, 1896
To the Editor of the Register.
Dear Sir:-In your editorial columns
this morning we notice a paragraph
some statements in which. in fairness
TO all parties should be modified some
what. In what shall follow, we do not
intend in the least degree TO deuaot
from the credit due the Democratic
party and its organization for the i'm
pOrt3n, part which it took in the glor-
iOus fight just a an end for good gov
eminent in our city. but il is fair 10 the
CITY lhat il should be understood by the
outside world that the fight was matte
strictly in ehe interest of good govern
ment, and the enforcement of the laws
on the statute books; that politics did
not enter into the mao-er in any de-
gree: that the candidates on the Good
Government ticket were Republicans.
Democrats and Prohibiionists, and
that they were supported by the voters
who were in favor Of enforcement OF
law. without regard to their party afil-
iaions.
Ii is true that after 5he good govern
y
meeting of citizens in which Democrats
took an equally prominent par. with
Republicans and PrOhibi.i0nists. the
whole ticket so made up was endorsed
by the Democratic PARTY but the sole
issue AZ the polls was as expressed by
the name Of the ticket-"Good Govern
ment and no one political party can
claim the whole credit OF the result.
The overwhelming defeat of the rum
publican ticket. as sam Small dubbed it.
means that the voters Of Mar,in's Ferry
have recorded their emphatic declara-
ton that the law is TO be enforced
against all evil-doers. It is TO the in
es. Of all persons Interested in the pros
perity Of the city that the real issue
determined at the polls should be un-
derstood by the public az large.

Base SANDER.

The report that the colored dele
gates were bribed by carload of
watermelons to support sound
money" at st. Louis is an infamous
SANDER. Everybody knows that
Colonel Coon is an earnest student
of finance, and that, much as he
loves watermelons, he loves Sound
money" more. Memphis CONNER
cial-Appeal,
1t is strange that papers pub
lished in the South, where Colont
Coon, as a politician, lives and
thrives, would stoop to slander so
good man. That watermelon gag
will not go down in June. No one
knows better than Colonel Coon
that the watermelons offered in
June are green and not fit to eat,
and nothing but 50 will cause him
to get spry and gay about the con-
halls and shout for his en-
ployer. Later in the season, say
when the watermelon is at
its best and always ripe, then Col
onel Coon may be influenced by this
luscious hand out. We hope the
papers will treat the Colonel fairly
from this time on, and not handle
his name so recklessly when talking
about his being influenced with
money or melons.
