The city administration of the last
year deserves commentator. May
or Chinnock and the council have
worked in harmony, have made such
improvements of material charac-
ter AS the finances would warrant,
and have in every respect observed
the strictest economy. There is pro-
baby not city in the state that has
been administered with more strict
business prudence than ours. 1t Is
thankless business at the best to look
after the affairs of the city, practical
" without compensation. and it Is
greatly to the credit of the outgoing
administration that nothing, but
praise of the record of the year is
heard. The burning of the Normal
required prompt and effective action,
and some assumption ofauthority to
meet the demands of the occasion.
Our "City Fathers" and Mayor did
not shrink from the responsibility and
it was largely owing to their vigor-
Gus friendly action, seconded by q
strong popular sentiment, that the
school was enabled to proceed with
tbs loss of only half a day from act
ual school work. The result of to-
days election will insure to the city
the same wise administration for the
coming year.

Here is another chance for Eau Claire
to get something that grasping town

steal the Normal school from River
Falls might take course in that in
stitution with profit, providing the
lesson taught them by the board OF
regents has been forgotten.

The people of River Falls do not as
a rule, patronize the travelling shows,
not because they do not love the
theatre, but because they have too
often been insulted and driven from
the house by the disgusting language
actions and dress of the cheap SO
called comedians, who pose as actors.
This should not be. We have police
men for the purpose of protecting
our people from insult upon the
streets. If the police force of River
Falls has not the same right to pro
tect them in the various places o
amusement, then it becomes a duty
of the council to devise other means
for protecting them. This class OF
rowdyism has been tolerated. too long.
It is gratifying to learn that the larg-
err cities have institut ed rigid CEN
sorship over the stage.

about the law prohibiting it. To-
day the editor has spent dollar for
hack hire trying to chase down the
returns, but only succeeded in find
ing the vote east in two wards. AS
nearly as can be ascertained, how
ever, from the vote in these two
wards and the reported returns in
the other two, the entire Blue, or
democratic ticket, went through
by about 200 majority, with two OK
ceptions-Tamayo's majority for
chief of police being only about
twenty votes, while in the second
ward the Blue club candidate for
alderman was defeated, NJ Fernan-
dez, jr, the opposition candidate,
being elected.
There is some talk of contesting
the vote in one ward, where it is
charged that some of the Red club
tickets were Illegally removed from
the ballot box, but THE HERALD does
not know whether there will be any
contest or not.

Special to THE HERALD.


Washington, April 5.-Ths
presidents message will go TO
congress tomorrow. This is
the best information obtainable
in Washington tonight, though
the Kaleidoscope of internation-
al events is moving so rapidly
at Madrid as to make it pos
sible that some new and remark
able change in the aspect OF
affairs may prevent this state
meut from holding good. The
message is ready. It makes
seven thousand woods and has
been approved by the cabinet.
1t recommends armed interVen-
tan in Cuba, but, so far as
known; without stating that it
should be immediate.
The day has been prolific in
res erts of mediation offered on
the part of European govern
ments, but the summary of all
the news points to the conclu.
sion that European nations
cannot agree and that inter
ference would be unacceptable
to the United States.
