EN-SECRETARN SHERMAN.

The report of the death of Ex-Secre
ta-y Sherman, which came from Cuba a
few days ago, proved to he mistake,
and was soon after contradicted, though
the truth did not oyertake the false
hood until much sorrow had been
caused. Mr.. Sherman, however, is a
very sick man and he cannot, in the ma
ture of things, long survive. He will
be brought back to the United States by
the cruiser Chicago.

Without committing ourselves to an

better record than men, says the Fan

OF crime higher than the rate for men.

TUE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican convention, which
meets this afternoon in the City hall,
has a serious question to consider-that
Is, who shall be its nominee for the o flee
of mayor of Superior for the coming
year.
Last year the convention nominated
the present mayer, and-:we have no
Hesitation in saying-for his record is
before us-that a worse blunder never
was chosen as the standard bearer OF
the party because he was a Gold Demo
crat and would draw strength from
that wing Of the Democratic party, not
Iecause he was a Republican, for he
never was; he was chosen also because
of certain pledges he gave as to what he
would do with the Water, Light <
Power company, the Rapid Transit
company, the saloons and gambling
dives, and what he would do in refer
cnce to the refundiny of the city debt.
lie was chosen also because he was a
Young man, and full Of promlse-in fact
he was the white haired Moses who
was to lead us out Of bondage into the
land Of promise.
Where are We to-day? What has he
accomplished =? The people are still
drinking dirty water, and are doomed
TO continue doing so for some time to
come; the light supplied the city is
little less per light, but when We con-
slider its quality, and that it does not
eost as much to supply it, we fail to see
what the city is gaining or the company
losing. The fact is that the city is pay
ing as much for light to-day as it ever
did, and Mayor Dietrich knows it. AS
for the Rapid Transit company, during
the past year the street car service has
been worse than it ever was, and as for
the gambling dens and saloons, they

The above international comparison
of the sex Of criminals is only approx
imately correct, as in some instances
| have had to use the sex distribution
of prison population in place Of the
sex distribution OF convicted persons.
and these two things are not identi-
cal. although this difference does not,
| believe, materially affect the accu-
racy Of the comparison just made.
