LET COUNCIL KEEP HANDS OFF

The action OF the Democratic mem
bers OF City Council in introducing an
ordinance providing that Council shall
appoint the assistant city solicitor and
their evident intention to make such
appointment is a specimen OF small
politics as contemplate as It is mis-
chievous. Had the office been an cleo
tive one and vacant at the city election
OH June /, it is safe to assume that n
Republican would have, been elected to
nll II, and the interference Of Coun-
ell, II it succeeds in it's Efforts, will
serve only to defeat what would have
been the express will Of the majority.
But, apart from this CHEW of the mat
ter. it is a most mischievous meddling.
Whore its interference cannot possibly
do any good and where 1t hardly can
fail to do harm. Whatever may be the
defects or omissions OF the statute
creating the Office OF assistant city So
licitor, 1t cannot be denied that the idea
was TO help, not to hinder, the city
solicitor in his duties by giving him an
assistant who would take from his
shoulders a portion OF the less impor-
tant work Of his office and give him
time and opportunity for the fuller
consideration Of tho mere important
matter demanding his attention. The
persistence of Council In its evident
course may defeat this very object by
giving line solicitor someone with
whom he will not be able TO work. or
who viii be useless to him in that posi-
ton.
AS the city solicitor is held
responsible by the public foI
The effective management Of his office
it would seem emily fair to him that the
one officer whom he would be most de-
pendent upon to carry out his policy
as the law officer Of the city should be
someone selected by himself, and pos
sessing, atleast to his mind, the qualid-
cations which the Office seems to him tc
require, and not an officer selected by q
political caucus Of a rival political
party that has no interest in furnish.
Ing him with proper assistance with
which to make his administra,
ton successful and effective, bui
whose only object is TO grab an oflic,
never intended to pass into its contro
for party henchman. Let Council
keep hands of.

LET IusTTcR PREVAIL

We fail to see how the State Board
Of Pardons can afford TO assume re-
sponsibility for the release Of Former
Secretary Of State John d. Hawkins.
Politically he was a menace to the com
mcnwealth, and SO questionable were
some Of his methods that
they were repudiated and
condemned openly by self-re-
speeding men in the Democratic party.
His private business transactions were
questionable in many instances, and
had become a public scandal. PROBES
sicnally he was a disgrace to the bar
of the State, and IL took summary
steps to relieve itself Of such an unde-
sirable member
He was sent to Jail for robbing a
client who had trusted him, and that is
where he should remain until the SEN
tence imposed by the court, which was
not excessive, has been served out. His
pardon would serve to put a premium
on political and professional rascality
and a Republican administration
should hesitate to place itself in thai
position before the people.

The Hon. Thomas c. Platt an
nounces that he will retire from the
Senate upon the completion OF his pres
ent term on March 4, 1903. Old age.
and a dissemination to continue in
the political leadership in the State OF
New York are assigned as the reasons
for his contemplated action. Mr.. Plat
has had long and eventful public ca
reer, and for many years has been one
of the most distinguished men in
American public life. His retirement
will leave a gap in New York politics
which few men will be able to MI witt

Despite doleful predictions to the
contrary, our shad fishermen have had
q fairly profitable season. The FISH
were unusually large, and, in the main,
good prices were obtained The aver
age person has no idea how many
thousands OF dollars the Delaware
river and bay shad bring into Della
ware and New Jersey from the outside
markets. The catch in a season sus-
tains hundreds OF families, supplies
them with the necessaries. and, in some
cases, the luxuries Of life. and stlmu-
lates trade in all communities where
the fishermen live or congregate. II is

CAUGHT AT RANDOM

flque Tor morning wear Is much in
vogue. There are 50 many fancy de-
scriptions of 5his textile that il almost
might pass fer a new fabric Among
the prettiest may be noted "piqua
sateen,' where three-inch-broad
stripes of ribbed material alternate
with others of THE same width of
sateen. This type is sometimes piece
dyed, on others a cOlored figure is print
ed on the sateen stripes, or, again, there
is design worked upon them in cross
stitch in one color only--red. yellow.
or blue mingled with black. 1t has
much the appearance Of hand-worked
Russian embroidery, and the more to
carry out this idea, designs OF that type
arc chosen. 1t looks well for blouses
also.
Ecru is one Of THE most favored col
ors, both in muslin, barege, and wolfe,
and when not itself embroidered in
black or white is generally trimmed in
one OF these two colCrs. Very stylish
ecru linen tOilettes are adorned with a
quantity Of marrow fiounces edged with
narrow black-and-white ribbon. the
bodice being composed of narrow bands
OF the material alternating with lace
insertions matching the ribbon.
A new sash scarf, with fringed ends,
tied like a stock, is TO be the popular
fad for neclkwear with white shirt
waists. II is already extremely popular
with the New York smart set. Il is
made OF taffeta, about two to two and
cne-half yards long and the fringe Is
knotted in. At present il is worn in
black, butt is likely to have a vogue in
white and the light colors.

Clay County Well Pleased With
These Popular Officials.

From the Fort Gaines Sentinel,
The fall term of Clay superior court
convened Monday and was in session
four days, Judge Fl G. Sheffield pre-
siding.
We were not present when the Judge
delivered his charge to the grand ju-
ry, but was informed that it was very
able, as usual, and covered in a clear
and comprehensive summary all the
points necessary for the guidance of
that body. In the further progress of
the court his fair and impartial rulings,
careful conduct of all the affairs of the
court and the dispatch with which he
disposes of business was again sub
iect of general remark and served to
renew his strong hold on the conf
dence and esteem of the people.
This was Solicitor Laing's second
visit here in his official capacity, and
the manner in which he discharged
his duties considerably strengthened
the favorable impression he made here
on his first visit, and marked him as "a
very efficient official.

did not want the south to surrender.
He never toak the oath of allegiance,
and always said he knew he was right
and he would die with that conviction.
He was an RECONSTRUCTED rebel, land

quiet, unassuming man, Lee and Jack
