deal only with public evils, and it is not
my business TO endeavor to penetrate the
secrets of the home and Of domestic life
and prevent the wife from betraying her
husband or the daughter from sacrificing
her honor, but 1t is my duty in SO far
as there were public manifestations OF

suppress it.
AT the close OF my administration there
was not public house of prostitution or

prostitutes and gamblers than ever before
in the city's history.
WHAT is NECESSARY.
To accomplish such q result two con-
ditions are necessary. Perhaps more than
two, but these are essential.
First-Officers of toe law who have
the nerve and the willingness TO enforce

say that was the alpha and Omega OF
the whole question, but even with officers
who fulfilled the above designa ton, they
are so liable to error i'll their methods that
would attach a second, strike the evil a t

is strike at the men and the influences
which support ii.
1t is a pitiful suhterfuge in the enforce
ment of the law against this crime to attack
the wretched creatures whOare its victims.

in which they are already plunged and

of the State. His name would have ap-
peared on these records had he been found
in house of fill-fame.
The result was that as soon as the
astonsihed members of the sporting ele.
ment realized that to enter a house OF ILL.,
fame meant exposure and to greater or
less extent. public disgrace, they gave
these places wide berth. The patrona ge
OF the houses a. once fell off and In a
surprisingly short time they commenced
to close of their own accord because they
could not live without the necessary sup

AWAKENED TO DEATH.
Jesus Uranga Ground Under tn,
 Wheels of a Freight Train.

Tucson Star: Jesus Uranga, d Southern Pacific laborer, employed in ballasting the track, died a horrible death about 2oclock yesterday morn ing at Wilmont, a station seven miles east of Tucson. Uranga, with several other persons, was sleeping beside the track on a bank slightly higher than the track
 An eastbound freight thundered along and it is supposed that Uranga half awakened by the rattle and roar of the train, sprang from the ground and rushed toward the track. His head was utterly crushed under the wheels and his left leg was cut off above the ankle.
 Justice Meyer having been notified of the killing impanelled a coroner's $ jury, went to Wilmont and held an in- quest upon the remains which were immediately brought to town for bur ial.
 Uranga was native of Santa Rosa lia, Chihuahua, where his relatives re- side. He came here to work about three months ago. He was 30 years old,

"The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of Worlds Fair This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have a value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave.' This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con- vince the most sceptical mind that this well-known blood-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence.

AN INDEPENDENT ELECTION.

One of the presidential electors nom- mated by the Democrats in Ohio has announced his purpose of voting in the electoral college, in case of his cleo tion, for the man of his choice and re- gardless of party nomination, unless the nominee is of the electors way of thinking
 This is going back to first principles, and it is fortunate for the people of Ohio that this nominee for elector has announced his purpose before the elec- tion. It was the original theory of the framers of the constitution that the electors, and not the people by popular vote, should choose the president The theory still exists in the constitution, but the practice is not in accord with it. Practically the president and vice. president are elected by popular vote. 1 The convention system has intervened and now the electors are chosen who are pledged beforehand to a certain candidate and the people feel, in voting for the elector, that they are voting for the presidential ticket directly.
 It would be worth all that man holds dear ordinarily-peace of mind, respect of his neighbors, even personal i safety-to violate the instructions of his constituency or mark out for him. self an independent course as a mem Der of the electoral college. Nothing of the kind has been known for many years, or since party nominations changed the plan of choosing electors And yet to vote in opposition to the wishes of majority of his constitu- ents and in violation of implied under standings and instructions at least, if not actual, would be no greater act of disloyalty and misrepresentation by an elector than is often seen in congress. The Ohio electoral nominee, however, puts his people on notice that he will if elected, refuse to vote unless he can vote for a nominee to his liking for the presidency. If they choose to sur render to him, therefore, their voice in the selection of the chief executive of the Nation this is their business.
 This announcement ought to cause some degree of caution this year in the choice of electors. Party and factional spirit is running high and extremists will stop at nothing short of revolu- tion to carry their point Men of known integrity and who recognize their party obligations as well as their private responsibilities are the men who should be chosen in such an acute crisis to represent the people.

CONTESTED SEATS AT ST. LOUIS.

The secretary of the Republican Ma tional committee Joseph H. Man ley-has notified the chairman-Mr. Thomas H. Carter-that siXty-seven contests for seats in the St. Louis convention have been filed, and that there may be others.
 In this list is noticed the contest flied by the six delegates named by the Republican convention at Phoenix on April 29. The contests for delegates are divided among the states as fol- lows: Alabama, 20; California, 4; Delaware. G. Florida, 8; Georgia, 10; Kentucky, o. Louisiana, 12; Mississip- pi, IS; New York, 12; North Carolina ?; Pennsylvania, 2; South Carolina, 1S Tennessee, 4; Texas, 30; Virginia, 4 and Arizona 6. There is total of 15s delegates involved in the contests, but the action concerning them can in nc way affect the result which is now ap- parent. If these cases are settled upon their actual merits Governor Mckinley will secure a number of the delegates who are to be seated by the commit tee on credentials when the various cases are heard. All estimates of Nc Kinley's strength admit that he has more than majority of the delegates with prospects of getting, on the first ballot, the votes of a number of those who are supposed to be bound to fla, forite sons'
 The matter of contested delegates is nothing new for National conventions and if the decisions to be reached by the committee on credentials were nec- essary for any one of the candidates there would be considerable interest shown in the matter. As it is, Gov. ernor Mckinley leads, and even should any other candidate secure the 15S del egates whose seats are questioned, il

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine It does not belong to the list of nostrums.
