viding in the selection of the new man they
were given voice.
Henry Riley now positively refuses to
withdraw from the race and behind his
withdrawal, if his Populist friends tell
the truth, there is a story that needs ven
tilation. 1t is said that Riley is held in the
race by his employer, who is a candidate for
council in another ward on the Republican
ticket. Riley, his Populist friends claim,
has been promised his position in case OF
his defeat in the race for council, but was
told in case he withdrew he would be nc
longer needed Under the circumstances
Riley naturally refuses to withdraw.
The First ward squabble is bad one all
the way through. The Populists quarreled
over Carlson and Riley in the nomination
and the Democrats over both. Riley will
now have allied against him the Carlson
Populsts, the Collette Democrats and the
| regular Republican nominee, and it is ad
mtted that he cannot win. The ward il
naturally union ward; that is, belongs
| by vote to the fusion party, and its loss tt
the party, if it be lost, will be due to I
useless personal quarrel, aided and abetted
| if the Populist story be true, by Repub

intend to take no chances. The members
of the executive committee last night wer,

men was made from the workers, men wht

great prevalent reason. While they resort

thorities to show that there is no such
disease as "hydrophobia" and inquiring
IL ut is not time, therefore, in view Of
these indisputable facts, that we should
give ourselves a little more freedom
from this bugaboO Of the mad dog?
What the newspapers so essentially re-
port as cases of 'hydrophobia' are, in re-
ality, nothing more nor less than in
stances of people who have been bitten
by dogs and frightened into hysterical
conditions in which they invOluntarily
reproduce all the supposed symptoms of
'hydrOphObia.' 1t is pity that our
newspaper editors cannot have a more
careful regard for the feelings Of women
during the summer months and agree to
suppress the reports Of cases supposed to
be 'hydrophobia.' They make the pub
lie mind nervous, and do more to spread
the silly notion Of belief In hydro
phobia' than anything else. Women
have had their feelings played upon
long enough by this foolish notion of
'hydrophobia, and enough unnecessary
suffering has been inflicted upon the
dog, who is often killed for nothing but
popular fallacy. It is high time that

The Government Acted.

New York Sun.
Colonel Sanger's provost guard is all
around the big camp at Hampstead, with
a post at every railroad station within
call, and on the roads leading away
from the camp. The other day the train
from Hampstead was boarded by the
corporal Of the provost guard, who went
through, examining the passes of the
enlisted men. One quarteTmaster ser
geant was inclined to argue with the
corporal, and the conductor started the
train before the discussion was ended.
Probably the discussion was heightened
from the fact that the sergeant and the
corporal both belonged to the same reg
iment. At all events, when the SER
geant had learned that the corporal had
the Whiphand the train was about half
a mile from Hampstead.
About that time my lord, the conduc-
tor, came through the car. The cor
poral addressed him cheerfully:
Now, conductor, I'll get you to stop
and let us off"
Don't stop till we get to Garden
City" said his lordship, brusQuely.
"Oh, yes you do" replied the cor
poral; right here;" and with that he
pulled the bell rope. The train slack
ened up.
What the conductor said cannot be
printed comfortably. What he did was
to reach up and pull the rope to go
ahead. The corporal pulled it again,
and then said to the conductor:
Don't touch that rope again. This
fpaiVn ic tyOiuor m ctnt, riuhf hawa To van
touch that rope, I'll put you under ar
rest"
The conductor used more language,
winding up with: who's running this
train, anyway To this he got the un-
expected answer:
II am--just now. Running it for
Uncle Sam
The train stopped, and the angry con-
ductor yelled:
Come, now! Get off quick Trains
stopped. Get Oft"
Trains going to take us back to
Hampstead" said the corporal coOlly.
"It's going to do nothing Of the sort"
shouted the conductor, reaching for the
bell rope.
Don't touch that rope!" said the cor
poral, sharply. (He had been speaking
rather slowly heretofore.) Back the
train up to Hampstead at once, or you
and the engineer and every other train
man will foot it back as prisoners. You
had no business to start the train until
| had gone through the cars, and you
know it."
The conductor growled something
about Schedule time" but the corporal
would not down.
"The government has got good deal
to say about running this road now," he
remarked. Start her back. I'm gov
ernment just nOw-so far as you're con-
cerned."
So the train backed up to Hampstead,
and the provost corporal and his pris-
Oner, the sergeant, got off.
"All right, conductor" said the cor
poral, you can so ahead now"
