the Independents, will nominate Pres
ident Low, of Columbia college, for
Mayor, and that he will be endorsed or
nominated by the Republican conven-
tiol. Mr.. Low is not the choice of the
politicians of either party, but he is
more acceptable to either party than
he candidate of the other, and as such,
his strength is probably greater than
that OF any other man who could be
nominated by any party. Mr.. Low was
q successful Mayor OF Brooklyn, and
was reelected to the office. which he
conducted on as nearly non-partisan
lines as such an Office has ever been
conducted. He has perhaps given more
study to the vexed problem of NUM-
cipal government than any other man
IN the city unless 1t be Andrew II.
Green, and having been a member of
he commission that framed the charter
d Greater New York he is, of course,
remarkably well equipped for the very
important Office.
The nomination of Mr.. Low, will,
necessarily, give to the regular Repub.
lican organization the naming on the
inion ticket Of all the rest Of the can
iidates, and 1t is said that combina-
tion has been made by which the inde-
pendent vote will be cast for the minor
candidates of that party. The Inde-
pendents will consider that they can
we'll AFFORD to do this in order that
they may make sure OF placing the
one whom they regard as the ideal man
IN the Mayors office.
The Mayor of Greater New York
will be elected for four years, and will
have at his immediate disposal five
lines the political power and patronage
that the Governor of the State has.
He will, therefore, be very important
factor in the future political history Of
the State, If man is elected who de-
sires to attempt political leadership of
that kind. 1t is asserted that the am
bition of Mr.. Low will be satisfied
when he has successfully solved the
problem Of the municipal government
of three millions Of people and that he
will seek for no further or other honors.
1t is too early to predict with any
degree Of certainty whom the Demo-
Gratis will select to oppose Mr.. Low, but
the indications now point to Superin-
tendent Waring of the Street Cleaning
Department. Mr.. Waring is a Demo-
crat and he is the only official who has
ever given New York clean streets. AL
though he has been an opponent of
Tammany Hall, he may now be the
andidate-stranger things have hap
pened.

Boy Must Look After Himself.

An exchange puts it: If.a man had
a fifty dollar bull pup, he would look
after it and not let it run around all
night al over town. But If he has a
boy it is different. He is turned loose
at tender age to go to the devil, and
then people wonder where the great
army Of tramps, buns, loafers, dead
beats, gamblers and drunkards come
from each decade. They are ger
minated from pure seed, gathered
from our home and sown broadcast
on our streets and alleys. & 1t may be
that your boy is making growth in
this direction. At all events, the boy
ought to be given an equal showing
with the bull pup.

Wellington and Napoleon. Horses.


The horse that the duke OF Yelling
ton rode at Waterloo was named Co.
penhagen. When that fearful battle
was over the horse appeared to sympa-
thize with and appreciate his masters
success, for when the duke arrived at
headquarters, and, after tossing the
bride reins to a groom, dismounted,
the horse kicked up his heels in an,
parent ecstacy OF delight, saying as
clearly as it is possible for a horse to
say anything, Tired as | am, | will
make you see that | as well as the rest
can show my Joy in the victory which
my master has achieved"
The duke saw TO it that Copenhagen
was well provided for in his old age.
He had abundant rations, the best of
care, and was allowed to roam at will
in the park at Strathfieldsaye. His
name lives with his masters, for it is
linked with his in history"
Napoleon, when at ST. Helena, once
said OF his horse: He has memory.
knowledge and judgment. He distin-
guishes his master from his servants,
although these are more constantly
about him. | had horse which dis
tinguished me from the rest of the
world, and which manifested, by his
bounding and naughty gait when / was
upon his back, that he carried a man
superior TO those around him. He
would not suffer any one to mount him
except myself and the groom that took
care of him. When had lost my way
! threw the bride upon his neck and
let him pick his way, with the inevi-
table result OF finding the right road"

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeG in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp, Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilmei
& Co, Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genulneness of this offer.

Special Cable Despatch to THE sun.
LONDON. July 13.-In commenting on the re-
port of the South Africa Committee on tho
Transvaal raid the Conservative papers adopt
an apologeio tone. and damn it with faint
praise.
The Morning Post says: at is to be hoped
that there will be no further attempt to deal
with South African affairs by o body OF men
who are totally untitled for the task"
The substance of the of tho
Standard and Telegraph Is that they desire to
hear no more of the subject.
The Daily Neus tI1beran says that the report
amounts to o declaration that the charges that
were made against Mr.. Rhodes and others were
not proved to be true. because where An inquirer
has deliberately rofrained from making inquiry
he cannot decently say more It adds that the
committee has given grounds for odious suspi-
cions.
Tho Chronicle says; "Such o conclusion IL
disgracefuL II the matter rests here. let no one
be surprised that foreigners laugh at our pro-
fessions of national honor and faith. Mr.. Rhodes
should again be placed on the stand. The House
of Commons now must vindicate the empires
honor.
The Times alone seems to DO quito satisfied
with the committee's labors. In view Of its own
connection with the raid 1t probably echoes it's
own feelings when 1t says: Tho general feel
