Pointers.

John S. Ritz is still confined to his
home. His friends deeply regret that
his continued illness prevents him
from taking an active part in the mu-
nicipal campaign. but are rebuilding
their efforts in his behalf on that ac-
count Mr. Ritz has received assur-
ances of support from hundreds of Re-
pubicans and Independent voters, and
his friends are confident that the
small majority by which he was de-
feated two years ago, will be more
than overcome at the election this
month.
All the Democratic candidates for
municipal Office regard their prospects
of election as very bright. Mayor
Andrew T. Sweeney was elected two
years ago by a magnificent majority,
and his friends say there is not a
single reason for believing that he will
not receive as many votes at the COM
ing election 1t is a significant fact
that Of all the wagers upon the re-
suit which have been made, both Mr..
Sweeney and Mr.. Ritz have been taken
at even money, Notwithstanding the
normal Republican majority in the
city. Mr.. Fred Colmar is making an
energetic canvass for city clerk, and
is making many friends. He is one Of
the best known young men in the city,
and is abundantly qualified to fill the
position. NJ. jeff. Frame is connect
ed with the wharfboat and is familiar
with the river interests, and these
facts are factors which are gaining
him much support. If the river in
telests were to determine the result,

to advance. And when we take into ac-
count the fact that the Pendieton act
was passed by a congress that had no
sympathy with the movement, and that

a continuous succession of equally un-
sympathetic congresses, the progress
achieved is far more surprising than
the violations and evaSions.
President Roosevelt has turned over

pose to enforce the civil service act

The grand jury Of Durham superior
court condemned the county home and

that the places were filthy and that
there were immoral practices. The
county commissioners have since in
vestigated the matter and they allege
that there is no foundation for the
charges made by the grand jury. Some
of the grand jurors say that the
