DUTY TO BE PERFORMED.

All that is necessary to insure the cleo
tion of the ticket headed by Nathan w.
l. ttlefield IS for the Democrats to do their
d Ity at the polls one week from today.
The Democratic members of the Legisla-
tive ticket stand for the reform of affairs
at the State House, and the only way in
which to effect the desired change is to
support the Democratic nominees. The
issue comes squarely before the people and
with the people remains the decision.
The ticket is one that calls for the sup
port of every member of the Democratic
party for every name is that OF man who
possesses deservedly the respect of the
community. There can be no doubt but
lat the election of the Democratic nomi-
n ,es means another step towards the
gr ,ater welfare of the city OF Pawtucket.
The dissatisfaction in the Republican
ranks, which exists without question, will
result in the triumph of the Democratic
ticket at the polls II the Democrats of the
city will attend to their duty. This is the
reason why all who call themselves Demo-
Gratis should be solidly banded together
one week from today, and the success that
resulted from united effort last fall In the
municipal election will certainly be the
natural outcome. The members of the
party must work together and present a
united front to the enemy.

A SLOW AXE.

The axe which President Mckinley has
at his disposal for the decapitation of
such incumbents of civil Office as may
happen not to be Republicans is said to
DC moving with unseemly lethargy. Why,
asks the novice, why should not the Presi-
dent take advantage of the opportunity to
at once put into Office those who faith
fully shouted, contributed and voted for
him last fall? 1t is not long story. The
President simply has not got ready get.
When he feels like 1t he will show that
the Office axe r not kept for ornament
only. Why he is delaying the matter is
not made apparent, but it i, probably for
no greater cause than that which makes
man delay taking his Spring medicine.
We are not pleased, however, to see this
mad crush for spois that has been turning
Washington into bedlam during the
past three weeks. II is not gentlemanly.
It Is not dignissd. II 10 decidedly hungry
looking. 1t would appear to an unin-
structed observer as II we were a nation
OF fire eaters. In this respect we are sorry
that President Mckinley does not put the
axe in motion with more alacrity. 1t
would put an end to this unseemly scram-
BILE for Office. Not that the hunger could
be appeased, but when the corn is gone
the squealing must OF necessity cease.
Mr.. Cleveland recognized this fact and
put the work of decapitation and appoint
mcnt out Of the way as soon as possible.
He got rid OF large number OF high
Offices and wagon load OF postmaster
ships i'm remarkably short space OF time
He could not endure the ciamor Of tho
once seekers. Mr.. Mckinley can. That
is the difference and il Is a considerable
one In our mind.

The condition of the streets today or
rather the combination of wind, dust and

March, but blow away, old boy, you are
short lived now, and when you leave US we
shall have spring-gentle spring. Speak
ing of spring, the poet of the Chicago
News has sized up the season labout right
In the following lines:
Bring forth the bike that's dormant lain
Full many wea day;
Go "scorch'" with an unholy Joy,
Then put the thing away.
Bring forth the coat OF summer hue,
Trot ont the shoes of tan,
Then don the thick attire you wore
When winter first began.
Lay side 10y side the machintOsh
And exc the coat of frieze;
Go armed with dustp proof goggles
And with boots above the kness.
Provide yourself with eurmuffs, cen
While you procure n fan
And purchase every different kind
OF underwear you can.
Select the summer hat OF straw
But let the onp OF fur
Be constantly In readiness
For changes to occur.
For this Is springtime-gentle spring
The season or delight,
When we perspirc at early morn
And freeze our ears ut night.

A Boston exchange calls attention to the
fact that the situation in woolen goods
shows a striking improvement. The
clothing market is strong. Dress goods
are selling well especially in the fairly
cheap grades, and what is more important,
prices have advanced in some lines. Mems
woolens are meeting with n very much
improved demand and even high grades
than before. Naturally the effect of these
conditions has been to increase the sale of
wool. Every previous American record
has been broken by the record of Boston's
wool sales, and prices are steadily advan-

condition that all profits arising there

Prince George, the kings brother and

The Bicyclc Face,

1t has been demonstrated recently
that the scrcwed-up condition of the
countenance known as the bicycle
face" is not at all the result of bicycling
particularly, but is induced by any vio-
lent demand on the muscles. An ar
ticle on the muscular contraction of the
face, published by DIR. A. Fourier. in
La Nature, illustrates this fact by pre-
senting picture of young man in ha
act of jumping a hurdle. During the
jump the doctor says, 1.-THE entire
body leaves the ground, and for the time
being floats through the air like pr o.
iectile. The effort of giving the i'm
pulse provokcs a contraction of the
muscles of the entire body; the trunk
and the eNtremities of the body form at
the moment Of leaving the ground but
one rigid unit. The picture shows the
body at that moment, and it repro
duces the full effort and the complete
contraction. AS the jump was rather
high. the violence Of the etfoHt is well
accentuated in the jumpers expression.
He looks as if in great distress and as
if he was about 70 break into tears. -
