NO LOCAL STRIFE.

Little interest has attached to the
Neihart municipal election this year,
and there is no contest in any of the
wards. So little interest was mani
fest that the third ward even forgot
to make nominations, and conse-
quently will hold no election. The
HERALD is pleased to see the polite
al and social atmosphere so still at a
season when storm and tempest were
predicted; and the fruits of this pla-
cidity will be friendlier neighborly
and business relations in the years to
come.
Good men have been nominated
for aldermen in first and second
wards, and the assurance is given
that municipal affairs for the next
year will be run fairly, economically
and business-like. Every good citi-
zen should now falls into the collar
and pull all together for the ad-
vancement of the town.

We learn on reliable authority
that our attenuated friends, Allen
Pierse and r. H. Sutherlin are run
ming for the exalted and honorable
position of alderman of White Sui
phur Springs. Ordinarily, this sub
ject would be considered too thin for
discussion, but experience teaches
that the people of that busy town
could better afford to choose fat men
to such position; for example, Frank
Phelps, A. M. Henry or Geo. Wall
work; and thus better sustain the
dignity of the town. Besides lean
man as alderman is too often re-
quired to be fattened at the expense
of the town before respectable and
dignified showing can be made. At
Neihart, we generally find the cleo
tion of corpulent mon more econom-
ical in the end.

1t appears that the smokers and
drinkers of the country did great
deal to help the nation out with its
war with Spain. But for them there
would have been a deficit in the war
revenue that would have been, to
say the least, embarrassing. During
the last fiscal year the total receipts
of the internal revenue department
were $170,866,S19.36. With the ex-
ception of only two and half mil
lions, every dollar of that sum was
paid over for the support of our ma
tional machinery by the devotees of
nicotine and Bacchus. 1t would
certainly puzzle the government to
get like amount from any other
source with as little trouble or incon-
venience. And what is surprising,
Kentucky does not lead in the mat
ter of paying whisky taxes. The
largest sum from any one state came
from Illinois.-Stanard.

known upon earth at some age OF
their existence roamed its hills, lux
urlated upon its wild herds and
tocks, drank it's thermal waters and
were happy.-Husbandman.
1t is not improbable that some OF

still inhabit portions of Montana and
that they even worm their way into
newspaper offices. This remark is
