MARCH 9, 1898.
The City Election.

BY their votes at the polls last Mon
day, a majority of the citizens of Els
worth put themselves on record as
disappearing of the expenditure of
such sums of money as were used
during the year just closed. The COM
plant is that valuations are high, that
the rate of taxation is high, and that
while this condition exists, the prefer
ence is for lower taxes, even if we are
forced to have fewer public improve
ments, however desirable.
The campaign was happily free from
personalities. The work of the past
year was clearly before the people;
the financial condition of the city was
well understood, in spite of few in
effectual attempts to distort it.
The candidates were all clean and
competent men, one set believing the
work of the past year wholly justifia-
BILE, and asking to be allowed to con-
tinue it: the other believing the work
extravagant, and promising, if elect
ed, to be more conservative. The is
sue was plain, and fairly put, and the
conservatives won.
Mayor Davis goes out of office after
a year of hard, faithful and effective
work. Between him and the board of
aldermen there has been the utmost
harmony; no evidences of partizan
ship have been noticeable; all work
has been done with a view to the best
interests of the city as it appeared to
them. If errors have been made, they
have been errors of judgment and not
of heart.
Capt. Joseph NJ. Higgins, the mayor
elect, is life long resident of the city
that has honored him by electing him
its chief executive officer. He is a
man of high character, sterling worth,
and has behind him a successful bust
ness career.
The new mayor will have with him
around the aldermanic board two of
last years officers, Messrs Lord, of
ward l, and Whitney, of ward 2-both
of whom have proved themselves
competent and faithful servants of the
city.
The new member from ward 5, Ed
ward E. Brady, is one of Ellsworth's
successful business men. He is care
full and conservative, a strong party
man, thoroughly familiar with public
affairs, and is capable of great useful
ness
OF Mr.. Smith, the new member from
ward 3. little is known. He has no
public record The alderman from
ward is yet to be chosen, the vote on
Monday having resulted in tie.
The new board has no easy task be-
fore it, but its makeup is such that
we may reasonably expect that great
care will be taken and good Judgment
shown IL dealing with the condition
that confronts it.
We all take pride in our fair city,
and it behooves US to assist in every
way possible to maintain her integrity.

WHAT CERVERA INTENDED.
Never Meant to Meet The American Fleets in
Battle.
Proposed to Prey on the Atlantic Coast
but Gould Not-Cuba to be Adam
doned by Spain.

New York, May ga special to the
World from Quebec, says;
Senior Polo. before sailing from
Quebec for Europe, conhded to n
friend the original intentions of Ad-
miral Cerveras squadron.
1t appears that the Spanish fleet be-
ing acknowledged unable to meet the
American vessels, was to avoid 1t and
cause all the damage II could to the
American coast Among other places
to be bombarded wgs Portland, and
an attempt was to be made to blow up
powder mill near that place. Senior
Polo succeeded in making satisfactory
arrangements for the coaling of the
fleet but the arrangement was broken
owing to American influence in the
coal concern, and the news OF this fact
drove the Spaniards from their origi-
nal intention of touching at Cape
Breton and made them take refuge at
Santiago de Cuba. Since then the
Spanish fleet has left on its journey
to Cadiz.
Spain's tactics will be to trust to
fever and the terrible expenses daily
incurred by the American govern
ment and she viii not risk repeti-
ton of the Manila disaster
"In the fall" the late ambassador
said Spain will abandon Cuba, after
having made her enemy pay dearly for
their victory"

FIRST CALL FOR Volunteers.
All but Four or Five States Have Filled
Their Quota.

Washington, May 25.-One hundred
and twelve thousand men have now
been mustered into the volunteer army
of the United States. and the official
reports show that the greater number
of these are ready to move to the
front. Two-thlrdsNof the states have
entirely completed their musters and
should the emergency arise are pre-
pared to begin anew the work just
completed The failure Of some of the
states, notably four or five In the South
to furnish the men called for up to
this time, is n surprise to the army
officers on duty here, hut Is ascribed
not to a lack of patriotism, but to n
belief, probably shared by many, or
the national guardsmen who had home
ties and business connections which
they could not well afford to give up,
that plenty OF other persons not so
encountered would readily be found to
take their places.
Ample time will be given the states
referred to to fill the apportlonment
made by the war department, and
the expectation here Is they will be
accomplished without further I'M
necessary delay. Should these states
default the probability is that the fact
will be reported to Congress formally
by the secretary of war for such ac-
ton as may be seemed best under the
circumstances. No resort can be had
to take any measures without explicit
authority therefor from the national
legislature.
