AN ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION.
The Board Asked to Insure THIS ny
the Election to Fill Vacancies L"
II. Ranks of None hut Men Who
Have Interests of City at Heart

A special session Of the Executive Com
mittee OF the Municipal League for Good
Government was held in the office of Mr..
+. A. Catlin yesterday afternoon. and a
large number Of committeeman were pres
emit Tho session was an extended one
and the affairs OF the city were discussed
at length. as result OF which many
recommendations to the Council Will be
made at the proper time.
The vacancies now existing In the
Board of Aldermen were considered, and.
after some discussion, tho following reso-
luton was passed and ordered TO be pre-
scented TO that body:
ITO the Members OF the Board of Alder
men:
1.-The Democratic League for Good Gov
eminent would respectfully call your at
tention to the vacancies now existing IN
the Board of Aldermen, and would urge
upon you to select for such vacancies
only such persons as will advocate the
best interests Of the city, and thereby Sc
cure the beneficial results so much de-
Sired by all classes OF our citizens-the
economical administration of her affairs.
"The question of taxation is one which
affects every citizen; not only in the
burdens which 1t imposes upon him, but
because il is the means of preventing
capital from seeking investment here,
and giving employment TO those depend
ent upon their labor for a livelihood. The
threat Of higher taxation is hanging over
the city, and only the economical adj
ministration of her affairs can save our
citizens from the burdensomeness OF such
q result.
ITO the Board of Aldermen our peo-
pie are now looking especially for re-
lief in this line. the Common Council
having already put itself upon record as
in favor of retrenchment and reform.
1--WE cannot too greatly magnify the
Importance of this subject. Everybody
will admit that the city should live
within her resources. To accomplish this
result. it is absolutely necessary TO cur
| tail expenses or raise the rate of taxa
ton. The alternative is with you, and we
appeal to your public spirit and patriot
! ism 10 act in the best interests of the
city. regardless of favor or friendship.

Major Cameron of the Thirty fourth
Hagras native infantry. He read the
charge, and then witnesses proved that
Abdul was guilty as charged. The pres
ident then sentenced the culprit to 90
lashes and to two years Imprisonment.
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
space, and in the presence of the whole
battery the punishment began. The Gull
prit trumpeted in fear and made an IN
earthly noise.
There were IA elephants on one side
and the officers and men Of the battery
on the other three. In tho center Of this
hollow square stood Larla ono. u, the
fogger, and the prisoSer. The latter
was chained by the four kgs to as many
heavy iron pegs and could not move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an i'm
mense cable chain. When allwas ready,
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with a resounding
whack. Abdul reared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to
a compound, where he remained a pris-
oner for two years.-New YorkJournal.
