A. w, Tracy has been chosen super,
intendent of the M. u. Sabbath school
as successor to W. A. Reeder, resign
ed.
w. A. Reeder candidate for the
nomination for congress from this dis
trict is quite enthusiastic on the pros
poets OF his success. It would be
quite feather in his cap il he could
wrest the nomination from his oppon-
ent who has given 30 much time in
working up his case. But politics
are slipping as well as politicians and
it is difficult to predict the outcome.
1t is supposed that VIM. Baker the
present congressman will be the OPP
posing candidate, he being the only
populist in the district who has a
"b-a-r.l."

CITY Matters.

In the woman's department OF the
Dispatch last week was a rather sew
ere article, that may be little mis-
leading to persons not acquainted
with our city and it's people. When
the city caucus in 1896 was held quite
a number of our people turned out
and nominated five councilmen, each
of whom received a majority OF tho
votes OF those present, A few days
thereafter a second ticket was noml-
mated, and the election was held. 5.
@. Cummings headed one ticket, d.
Moncrieff, second, and l.. e. Nipps
a third. Mr.. Cummings received l2o
votes, Mr.. Moncrieff GO, and Mr..
Nipps G8 The issue then was "wet"
or dry" and the wet won. When
the new council took charge it found
a large indebtedness hanging over
the city, created by the construction
of water works system. Taxes were
high, and plans were talked over and
laid for the reduction Of this debt
First expenditures were to be kept
down, and revenues put up. Taxes
we're high and could not be increased,
so license of 100000 was placed up
on billiard halls. This plan to the
writer's personal knowledge is eDdors-
ed by majority of the tax payers OF
the city. The council was made
up, with possibly one exception
of representative men, two re-
publicans, two democrats, and
one populist. None of whom
had any special interest is having
the warrants paid off, Three of the
council are active members of our
churches, the other two behave them
selves reasonably we'll. These gentle.
men worked as they honestly believed
for the best welfare of our commun-
ity, and in all matters were a unit
The town has been quiet, and consid-
ering conditions well managed, and
the new council proposes to go on
with the work. The article closes
with the following;
"We think if our county attorney
and our city council do not see that
the laws are enforced this year, that
our women and the men who still
have some loyalty to the laws of our
state and city will be perfectly JUST
fed in seeing that they are enforced"
We do not believe there lives any
six men who are more loyal to the
laws of the state than are the county
attorney or the city council, but they
are confronted with problems and
solve them as their best Judgements
indicate.

THERE is a good deal of a row be-
ing kicked up by the opponents Of
Gov. Smith, of the National Soldiers
Home at Leavenworth, over the re,
tention of that gentleman in his pres
ent position. We have made some
inquiry of old soldiers who have been
staying there and find that the majority
of old veterans who do not drink, dc
not find much fault. In q company
made up as it is of thousands of old
men, discipline is an absolute neces
sity, and quite a number OF the con-
vivlal kind do not want any restraint
placed upon their movements, and
hence kick when they are punished,
Our informants do object to a can
teen" ie a saloon, that is allowed to
