REPUBLICAN SCRAPPERS.
Trouble Expected Over the
Joint Primaries Question
By the Factions.

There promises to be another hot fight
in the Ninth Ward between the two Re-
publican factions Notwithstanding the
positive assurances of the ringsters that
the best of harmony prevails.
The anti-ring men had a conference last
night in the rear of John P. Landrine's
store on Bergen avenue but the ultimate
results cannot be ascertained as yet. 1t
is certain that plans for a hot fight were
considered and an opposition ticket will
put in the field on the night of the prim-
aries. The ring people also held a secret
conference, but none of the members
would divulge the proceedings.
The Ward Association meets on. Friday
night to arrange for the primaries Trou-
BILE is anticipated at this session. The anti
ring men propose to fight for separate
primaries again and will introduce a
resolution to that effect This will doubt
less cause more rumpus.
The Bergen Republican Club meets to-
night. Some of the anti-ring men are most
likely to get together and express their
views on the joint primories.

-
lar resolutions for the clerks in some of
the other offices where they cannot even
boast of the aid of large staffs but where
meetings and conferences are much more
frequent than the regularly scheduled
meetings of the Street and Water Board.
If the statement of your Clerk. as quot
ed, be true he personally did not solicit
an Increase in salary. Then why place
him in such an embarrassing predlca-
ment?
''In the interests of the people who
elected us, deem it my bounden duty
to oppose all useless and reckless eX-
pendtures of their money and submit this
veto for your careful consideration, trust
ing that you will see the injustice done
to an already heavily burdened but pa
tient community. and also carefully con-
slider the dangerous precedent which
woNl be established by the passage of
any such resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
"E. HOOS, Mayor"
Next Tuesday the Street and Water
Board will pass the resolution over the
veto.

scale. But it does look cruel and self
ish to eXterminate such pretty inno-
cent little creatures. / wish the chill
dren could see them. They are about
as large as fox squirrels and look
like them excepting the lack Of
long tail. They burrow in the ground
and make tunnels that communicate
with their different homes. They
throw up little circulaY rims or banks
around their holes like the ants do,
and YOU can see them from the trains
perched upon the tops of the rims
like little sentinels and suddenly they
pitch down in the funnel like boys
jumping off a springboard into a mill
pond. There were some clever, good
natured Michiganders and Michigeese
at my house not long ago, and we
were asking conundrums and no one
was to ask a question that he or she
couldn't answer when it was given up
by the rest of the party, and so | ask
ed lady how a ground squirrel dug
his hole in ne ground without leaving
any dirt around the top. When they
all gave it up, / said: "Why, he be-
gins at the bottom" But how does
he get there?" she asked. THAT is a
question: said /, land you must an
swer it, My next conundrum was
why is it that when you hold up a
guinea pig by the tail his eyes will
drop out? The ladies all wondered and
asked if it was so. Certainly" said
/; sit is fact, but the trouble is that
a guinea pig hasn't got any tail" OF

awful task, but the girl or boy should
try it. Write few lines and then go
to mother. My wife still has the first
composition that our oldest daughter
wrote. 1t was on Snakes" and the
first sentence was: "A snake is a
very long insect" But don't give up
and cry about it. Try and try again
and you will feel so happy when it is
done. BILL ARP.

THE END OF LOVELY PARIS
A Street Car Line Straight Through Its
 Heart

The Paris Figaro waxed sarcastic over the introduction of new street railway in Paris. What would the Figaro do in New York? It says:
 Another street ruined! There is the tramway passing! We are menaced with another, to be on the Champs-Elysees It was to be foreseen.. The day when the barbarians put their heads on the Round Point the population ought to have arisen in revolt But they did not, and they were wrong, and now tho barbarians are invad- ing the very heart of Paris.
 'They are now even at the Place de POpera. They want to extend to that point the street railway which leaves Romain- ville. It appears that the people of Ro- mainville cannot be content with being transported to the Place de la Bourse they wait absolutely to be deposited at the opera. And, to please them, the tramway may be made to pass by the Rue du Septembre. It is one of the surprises promised us for the exposition.
 Naturally, protestations came from avery direction. Already petitions are cir culatlng, and 1t is probable that it is not only the intended section that will protest, for it is a question that has to do with the beauty of Paris, and this new attack must be revoting to all Parisians. But how many Parisians are there in the municipal council of Paris? For everything depends on that. Nothing is accomplished by hay ing on ones side all the artists, merchants, Journalists and everybody else, if one has not the municipal council. And the mis- fortune is that the municipal council of Paris is made up of men from Romain- yilleo
