POLITICS OF i.
ALL KINDS.

The all absorbing topic is who
will get the city positions which
will be vacant after this month.
OF course the present encumbents
will be candidates for reelection
and think they are ill-used if they
are not reelected. Rotation in Of
flee is sometimes good thing, both
for the officials as well as those they
serve. There are always just as
good and competent men to hold the
Offices as those that have preceded
them.
Then new men placed in public
positions take the idea away from
some men that they are the public,
but not their servants and thereby
act accordingly.
Rotation in office is one of the best
things that can happen for the pub
lie service. Of course those who
hold Office don't like to let go of a
good thing and who can blame
them, but it is just as necessary
that they should be removed after
their term expires, as it is to eat
three meals day.
! There is no doubt but that DR..
Evan G. Shortlidge will be re-elect-
ed President of the Board of Edu-
cation this evening. He has had
the experience which fully qualities
him to occupy. the position, being
the oldest member of the Board.
!, 1t looks as if Benjamin F. Bar
tram would be reelected Secretary
and Treasurer of the Board.
From now on for some time, the
greatest interests will centre in the
appointments made in the Police
Department. There is no doubt
that numerous changes will be
made in the force, and the appoint
ments will be watched with great
deal of interest. Dismissals can
only be made by "cause' but how
easy sometimes are such causes
proven and the offending one made
to walk the plank of discipline.
But we should not forget this is a
non partisan police commission and
should only follow in the footsteps
of the old Commission.
( The question has been repeatedly
asked who will DR.. Fahey, the new
mayor-elect, appoint on the Water
Commission. Edward H. Brennan's
name has been suggested. He is
one of the city's representative
business men and would be a credit
to the new Mayor.
/ The findings in the investigation
of Captain Thomas Kane, which
took place last evening vas deferred
until Thursday evening. This is
to give the Commissioners time to
act intelligently in the matter.

SETTLED +
= THE FUED.
Stepdaughter War Over
the Coffin of HuS=
band and Father.

Z Two women stood beside the dead
one weeping silently, the other pale
and determined. Both were in deep
mourning. One was the widow,
Mrs. Wilson Buchanan; the other
her stepdaughter, Dorothy. Here
in the house of death the feud once
more had arisen. Around them
stood the other mourners, watchful
and amazed, while out before the
house-No. IS Clinton street, Hobo
ken-the funeral cortege waited.
"You have no business here
said the young woman.
The widow threw back her veil
and moved silently to the head of
the coffin. In her hand, outstretch-
ed, she bore a bunch of roses. 'He
was my husband she pleaded.
The yousger woman sneered.
Yes" said she, but not through
any wish of yours. If you loved
him so deeply why did you seek a
divorce?'
The older woman made no ans
wer. She dropped the roses upon
the bier and stopped to kiss the
dead.
"Keep away cried the other
woman shrilly: ''you shall not kiss
him. "
She put her band on her fathers
mouth and motioncd the other Wo-
man to leave.
"You will leave here said the
young woman sharply; "you are no
longer wanted in this house. Go, l
say
You will not allow me to stay,
them asked the elder woman.
'Why should you turn me out:'
"You have made enough trouble
in this house, exclaimed the girl.
I" tell you to 60.
-, The widow bent her head, drew
the veil before her face, and, with
one parting look at the man who
had been her husband, went away,
weeping bitterly.
!, Then the daughter wept. Her
friends gave her comfort, but she
took no heed.
The services began. The voice
o. the minister murmuring Il am
the resurrection and the lite, - came
to the girls ears and she ceased
sobbing. Outside IN the street
stood the other woman, still with
the tears streaming down her face.
They would not tell me he was
dying" she said, "or | could have
been with him then. They knew |
was away, and they hid it from me.
Yes, it is true | had just sought a
divorce. But, then, what could |
dol Life was no longer bearable
in that house. twas my only hope
Of peace.
The house doors opened, and the
slow cortege passed down the steps.
Then the last journey began, the
procession passed solemnly away,
and the woman in black was left
standing there, forgotten and alone.
