VIII There BE a New mayoralty
RIecflon2

The Herald this morning renews the
rumor that the Court of Errors and APP
peals will upset the spring election of this
year in this city and Newark. 1t says
the Newark Republicans are already pre-
pairing for a municipal contest in No
from the inner circles of the court. This
may be true. but it is somewhat dis
counted by the statement, made with an
equal pretence of authority, that Robert
Davis is .'using his influence" with the
Court to bring about an upset of the
election. for the express purpose of get
ting rid of Mayor Hoos. This is, of
course. a ridiculous falsehood. and so. per-
haps. is the whole story.
1t is astonishing, however, what ere
dence the rumors lave gained in the past
week or SO. and it is quite disquieting to
see the view tina shrewd lawyers take of
the outlook. No man. lawyer or layman.
Of any candor. pretends to think that the
anti-spring election law is wise or reason
able, or even reasonably constitutional.
Every impartial lawyer admits the great
force OF the arguments advanced by Allan
L. McDermott. But, after admitting
everything. they shake their heads and
say there Is a precedent. The Court. they
say. cannot uphold the decision Of the
Branch, without stultifying itself. Be-
Sides they say. so much now depends on
upholding the system of classification IN
its narrowest Interpretation that the
Court will not ratify a decision affecting
it for fear OF p~recipitating an avalanche
of litigation.
we stiil regard the delay Of the Court
Ia taking up the case as q strong indi-
cation that 1t will uphold Mayor Hoos.
1t Il hard to see how the Judges could
have found it In their consciences to
postpone Judgment If they Intended to
overthrow the actually existing order
But the law is an uncertain thing. and
perhaps the present rumors may turn out
correct. In this case we shall have the
election OF a Mayor. President Of the
Board of Aldermen n Members Of the
Street and Water Board all over again
this fan.
It Is rumored that Mayor wanser will
again head the Republican ticket. It Ii
said that his campaign Will consist In an
amplidcation of the points made in the
Board Of Finance letter published yester-
day. Presumably Mayor Hoos. unless his
brief experience has tired him Of the re-
aponsibility. will hea the Democratic
ticket. II it comes, It viii be q lively
night. and both sides win put forth every
effort to win #.

RUINED THE BAND.
A Denver Recruft who Had Money
for Frequent Designations.

The only son of a rich banker in Den
Yer made an unwise marriage a few
years 6 and to wriggle out of the re-
sponsibility of 1t after his people had
abandoned him, he enlisted in the army.
He was a proficient co~rnet-player, and
was therefore assigned to one of the in
fantry bands as a musician. His people
in Denver were SO pleased with the young
man for having adopted this novel
method of getting rid of the obligation to
live with the woman he had married
that they sent him all the money he asked
for. The band to which he was ttached
was at Angel Island, an hours run by
boat from San Francisco.
The young man from Denver proceeded
to make life bearaJle, not to say hilari-
Gus, for his fellow wind-jammers. He
didn't do this in the post and thereby
to get into trouble. His original liberal
ity took the form of providing an aver
age of three banquets a week in San
Francisco for his fellow-musicians. He
saw that they were all provided with
evening suits, which they donned after
they reached San Francisco from the is
land, n he acted as master of cere-
monies of the reyels, which took place in
O. private supper-room in one of the best
hotels in the city. BY the time the young
man from Denver a been at Angel ISL
and for a couple. of weeks the officers of
the post began to notice that the BAND
was furnishing music of an exceedingly
inferior quality. Al few weeks later the
whole band returned to the post on the
Government BOAT on a morning after a
regular banquet night in such a condition
that the music the BAND furnished for the
morning guard mount was like that heard
in a Chinese theatre, and the A~djutant
ordered them all under arrest.
The Denver recruits connection with
the exceedingly evil music could not be
officially traced, although the officers of
course. knew all about it, and so nothing
could be. lone to him. The band was dis
ciplined, with little or no effect. The
music remained atrociously bad, and the
musicians began to grow SO stout that
some of them could barely waddle.
Then the officers of the post, including
the commanding officer, an exceedingly
pompous old gentleman, who is now a
Brigadier-General, began to run across
the Denver recruit, done up in the height
of well-fashioned evening clothes and
glittering with diamonds, every time they
went over to San Francisco for a night
endurab1e. HE is only a soldier, you
know said a young officer, ex~postulat-
ing about the matter.
True was the reply; "aren't your"
Three montl1 after the young man had
Joined the army he received his discharge
without honor whereafter the music
of the band soon became fit to be heard,
and the officers met the Denverite in the
drawing-rooms of San Francisco, no
army band, but as a harum-scarum young
civilian against whom vas pending a sem
divorce suit.-San Francisco

Rnler Wfthout Rody-Guard.

To the foreigners in the crowd the abb
sence of any guard or escort of soldiers
near the President, or of soldiers of any
sort. was probably the most peculiar fea-
ture of the scene. In no other country
would the head of the nation, whether he
stand on such an occasion so close to the
people without a military escort. The
President of France does not even go to
the races at Longchamps without an es-
cort Of Soldiers. But the President of the
United states is always unattended, and
soldiers could not d to the dignity OF
his Office. When he rode in state, later
House.. he was surrounded by cavalry,
who were, however, part of and in keep
ing with the procession. But when the
President axes the oath Of Office before
dress. there is not a single man in uniform
to stand WI him and his fellow-coun-
trymen, crowded together SO close to him
tbs by bending forward ne could touch
them with his hand.-Harper's Magazine

Lord WoIsalaxx

The present commander-in-chief of the
British army has for many years been
the object of many professional jealousies.
Lately there nave been rumors of his re-
signation of the Office of co-mmander-in-
chief, and a slight i-ndisposition gave his
an opportunity to circulate ru-
mors of his retirement. But Lord Wolse-
ley is as sound as a drum, and fit for
n amount Of work, and he is far too
fond of power to go on the shelf sooner
than is absolutely necessary, especially as
he knows his rival. Lord Roberts, would
be sure to step into the saddle.-Newark
