man elected to public office becomes
the servant of the people-the tax-pay-
er. whose money goes to pay the eNpen-
ses of city. State or county government,
whose trusted servant he is. When he uses
his power for personal or political meas

the people, and is no longer worthy to
be a public servant. When acts which
affects the public's Understanding
the outlay or expenditure of public mon

and act in the best interest of the tax
payer. His politics should not influence
him when the taxpayers interest is at
stake. A public official who acts upon
this principle is good citizen and is
worthy of the confidence and support of
the tax-payer-and he will always get

Fair Race. Says Upton.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Lady Russell
christened the cup challenger at Poplar,
on the Thames, with a bottle of good old
Irish whisky and the words, 81 christen
thee Shamrock; may you bring back the
Cup" The wish Lady Russell expressed
on that occasion is doomed never to be
realized The mug which the old schoon-
I America won so commandingly against
n comers over the course around the Isle
e Wight in 1851 and brought back
Lcross the seas will remain here at least
another year n defiance to the world.
This fact was proved yesterday. when. in
4 glorious, whole sail breeze over a wind
Ward and leeward course of 80 miles, the
Yankee defender Columbia scored against
the Shamrock the first race of the 1899
series for the trophy. She bounded across
The finish line fully a mile and n half
ahead of the challenger, defeating her
by 10 minutes and IA seconds actual
time, or 10 minutes and ) seconds cor
rected time, after allowing the six sec
6hds handicap which the Columbia must
concede to the challenger on account OF
her longer water line. 1t was a decisive
contest, a magnificent race, magniticcntly
sailed and magnifcently won. Opinion
as to the merits of the two boats had
been somewhat divided as a result of the
fukes during the past two weeks. Al
though the preponderance of expert opin-
ion never wavered in its loyalty to the
wonderful speed and ability of the white
flicr, no nautical sharp expected that the
Shamrock wou1 be so overwhelmingly
ranquished as she was in yesterdays roy
al struggle. The Yankee boat outgcncr-
aled her at the start, beat her hopelessly
in windward work to the outer mark and
gained % seconds in the run home before
the wind. The English hopes were dash
ed TO the ground. No excuses can be- Of
fered. There was a good, strong 10 to l.
knot breeze, and it held throughout the

A New System.
BY Which Mail Matter May Be Registered Al
Your Door.

The first day of January 1900 is the
day set for the introduction of the pro.
posed new system of house to house
registration of mail matter. 1t will be
instituted in all grades of post offices
throughout the United States. The
large. small and medium offices will be
tried and the eXtcntion Of the service
will be made as fast as possible. The
system is simplicity itself, and will
entail but little extra work on the part
of the carriers. The most important
thing the carriers will be expected to
do, will be to exercise good judgment
in ascertaining the legimate owner Of
any registered package, and in getting
the proper address and the identih-
cations. Upon receiving letter he
will be delayed only long enough to
give receipt. If a person wishes to
register letter which is not addressed
properly or is not sealed, instead OF
having to wait, he will give the sender
card containing full instructions and
upon the next delivery call for the
letter. 1t is expected that under this
new plan, the revenue of the Post
Office Department will be largely in
creased. All of the postmasters
throughout the country in the large
Offices have already been notified of
the proposed change.
