GRATIFYING FEATURE.

One Of the gratifying features Of yester-
days election is the handsome vote polled
by Nathan w. Littlefeld. His election
simultaneous to the position of Senator
and as representative on the School Com
mittee by majority OF $50 is deserving
tribute to his candidacy.
For the past several days there was a
steady drift from Mr.. Tuck, the Republi-
can candidate, to Littlefield, and 1t was
evident from the start that humiliating
defeat was awaiting Mr.. Tuck. There was
more than passing interest in the election
for the vacancy on the School Committee,
caused by the resignation of Henry Barker,
and the public school system will profit by
the changes which have been made In this
department OF the city government.

GETTING RID OF TEDDY.

In the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt the
country is likely to have an efficient AS.
sistapt Secretary Of War. Teddy is a
fighter by profession and fighters place
in the government ranks is where he
should be.
Platt does not like this, but who Is Platt
nowadays? Platt cuts about as much
figure In the distribution of the patronage
now as Aeneas. His fall has been sudden,
precipitous, long. He has lost control
where once he held with tightest grip
and, II he does not like Roosevelt in the
war department, he will have to make the
best Of 1t.
It is a clique game clear through, this
putting Roosevelt in the shoes that were
offered to Fred Grant and which did not
fit Grant at all. The mayor and the other
prominent men who put Roosevelt at the
head of the New York police commission
are anxious to get rid of him, This Is
their sole hope, for they cannot put him
out bodily AZ they did Parker through the
instrumentality Of Mayor Strong. They
have thrown the bait of new situation
in his way, and, II he takes 1t, the incl
dent of enforcing Sunday temperance In
New York may be considered closed.
AS we intimated above, Roosevelt is the
proper man for the place. But we take
exceptions to the causes that superin-
duced the offer. 1t is the same old story
of adjusting politics. Roosevelt Is offered
the appointment not for his merits, but
for the reasons that we outlined above.
We hope Teddy will take the place, (al.
though 1t means wet Sundays for New
York; but we do not admire any the
more for that the spirit which prompted
the offer.

Chairman Affiick of the Democratic
City Committee has demonstrated the fact
that the way to meet the Republican ma
chine as well as highwayman on lone
some road and not to get the worst of 1t is to
display grit. But the Republican machine
will be considerably longer in recovering
from the blow than the highwayman who
attempted to hold up the head of the
Democratic party on Pleasant street the
other evening.

MANHATTANLSM.

The talk of cutting up the great State Of
New York into two distinct and separate
divisions, leaving one the name of the or
iginal State and labelling the other "Man-
hattan," Is the outcome of new species Of
centralizing population and government.
The subject matter is unique in America,
but not in the old world of olden times. A
city made up into State is something Of
the style of government adopted, or, rather,
grown into by the Romans. In this
country 1t is the outgrowth of desire on
the part of large cities to escape the juris
diction of the commonwealth. 1t may or
may not be laudable, al the case may be.
The desire to escape from the State SOW
ereignty may arise from the fact that the
State harbors laws that are repugnant to
the city and which 1t can be released from
by setting up an independent form Of
government. These odious laws may be
bad and again they may be entirely good
and proper. but the desire OF the city to
escape them may be fully as strong In the
one case a. In the other.
Chicago has been talking for some time
of separating itself from the rest of the
State Of Illinois, provided 1t can, but the
intention has not yet crystallized into fact.
There is . good deal that Chicago might
gain by divorcing itself from Illinois, but
there Is also good deal that Illinois might
gain from the same event. In that State
there Is little worth having outside of the
metropolis. The big city dominates the
State and drains 1t OF patronage and rep-
resentation. So far as the State Legislature
is concerned Chicago is master. On the
other hand the city, by setting up sepa-
rate form Of government, would have the
right Of way for all time, uprisings OF re-
form to the contrary Notwithstanding.
1t Is possible for a city to outgrow a
State, although this contingency has not
been reached In the two cases Just men,
TONED. But such growth would be the
result OF an absorption of the energies OF
the State by the city and would mean the
ruin OF the State.

Now that the bicycle season has opened

II. 8. RUSSELL,
Fire Commissioner.
Last year complaints were numerous
from fire department men in city after city
concerning the recklessness displayed by
certain class of bicycle riders In riding
ahead of the fire department apparatus,
when departments were responding to
alarms. In the main, the riders are 80 con-
fdent Of their ability to avoid mishs ps
that they take chances which are In keeI-
ing neither with prudence or common
sense. What with zigzagging, and cross
cutting, and riding straight ahead of tn,
rapidly driven apparatus, 1t is easy to
understand how vexatious and annoying
to drivers must be the antics of these over
smart bicyclists. II have an idea thai
expostulations will be lost upon those self
sufficient wheelmen who are prone to ride
fifty or sixty feet ahead of a steamer, hose
carriage or chemical, instead of taking to
the side of the street and allowing a clear
road to the department. The fact that the
class is sufficiently numerous in Boston to
impel the Fire Commissioner to issue the
injunction printed aboveis not without
measure of significance; and it raises the
question. II the nuisance thus created
continues to increase, will not steps be
necessary for the prohibition of the prac-
tice?

Probably no one thing will more pro-
foundly startle a man than to find out by
actual proof what coffee drinking Is doing
for him. When he realizes that day after
day the physical machinery is not working
right, he naturally casts about for the
cause in order to stop it before it goes too
far
But TO locate the cause is frequently be-
yond the power of himself and even his
physician. II such cases can be induced to
drop coffee and other narcotic drugs like
tobacco etc. for short period and use

taste prevented their use.

discover how to select the proper parts Of

DUNM'S HARD LUCK
Arrested After Twice Paying for His

DENVER, Col, Nov. 24.-Sheriff D. L.
Hopes of Malad City, Idaho, called at
the state capital with a requisition
from the governor of Idaho for the ex-
tradition Of Joseph Dunn. who was or
rested here Monday and held for grand
larceny. Dunn claimed that 1t was case
of persecution and involved business
transaction in which he obtained fifty
nine head of cattle. Dunn says his father
several years ago left his wife and fam
lily in Wales and came to this country.
where he married a Mormon woman,
settling at Malad, Idaho. Young Dunn
also came to America, but never forsook
his mother, contributing to her support
until her death. Two weeks ago he WIS.,
tied his father and asked him to reim-
burse him for his expense In burying
his mother. The father consented and
gave him note for $500. the son return
ing to him $3.50 in cash. This note he
later traded for cattle, which he pro-
posed to bring to Denver as an invest
ment. While on the road he was
stopped at Ogden by parties who claimed
an interest in the cattle, and was COM
PEELED to pay them several hundred dol
lars before they would consent to his
release. Then he came to Denver, only
to be arrested second time on charge

KENTUCKY DISTILLERS
Can't Make Terms With the Eastern
Syndicate

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 24.--It is said in
local distilling circles that the proposed
scheme of pooling the distilery interests
Of Kentucky is about to fall through
The scheme was to form all the distil-
leries of the state into one vast COM
bine for the purpose Of regulating the
output and cutting down expenses and
reducing operating forces. Eastern cap
italists were going into the scheme to
buy up distilleries throughout Kentucky
and about so per cent of the state has
agreed to the proposed scheme. The
reason now alleged for the failure of the
project is that the eastern flnanciers
were frightened off because they claim
ed the Kentucky distlllers had listed the
distilleries at figures far beyond their
real value.
