Since Mr.. Bailey's friends secured
his nomi alton for governor the pa
pers have been saying many nice
things of him, laying special stress
on the statement that if elected she
will be governor, meaning that he is
free from party influences and will
make his appointments as he thinks
best without regard to the dictates of
the machine. The effect of this state
ment is spoiled, however, by the an
nouucemeut in the same papers that
there is already trouble in the party
as to these same appointments be-
cause of the fact that in the effort to
secure the nomi iaation his friends
made many promises. Cole, who was
elected chairman of the convent on, is
to have the craftsmanship of the tax
commission, Kelsey is to be adjutant
general, etc. 1t must be that these
fellows mean that Bailey will be gov
ernor after they have disposed of the
appointive places.

The anti-fuslon law Of the republi-
cans seems not to have accomplished
the desired result, as in every part of
the state the democrats and populists
are making every effort to get to-
gether. The feeling seems to be quite
general that the republicans have at
tempted to control mems convictions

is immoral. Think OF it! Burton and

Mondays papers announced the
closing OF the war in Africa, the
Beers having surrendered. This
closes one of the most remarkable
wars of any time, and goes to show
the difficulty encountered in subjugat
ing a people, in point of numbers and
supplies greatly inferior to their
enemies. The Beers have had a total
of about 1000 men engaged in this
war while England has had $50, 600.
1t Is not to be doubted that the latter
were just as good fighters as the men
they were opposed to, yet it has taken
them over two years to conquer a
force so much smaller than their own.
The difference lies in the fact that one
army was fighting on its own territory
while the other was all the time in a
hostile country. Defensive warfare
is one thing; aggressive. another.

Ex-State Superintendent Stanley,
president of Friends University, will
address the common school graduat-
ing class during the commencement
exercises, August s.
The new institute and common
school courses of study have arrived
and may be secured from the county
superintendent for ten ceuts. Hereto
fore copies have been supplied to
teachers free of charge, but this prac-
tice requires the expenditure OF a con-
siderable sum of money from the
institute fund and it is thought best
to devote this amount to other pur-
poses Besides it is characteristic
of human nature to consider that
which j. free of little value. 1t is
customary TO charge ten cents, the
cost price, for the courses of study in
small matter to the individual.

Taste of Property Owners Seems to

West Seventh Street.

OF the many contracts let for street
paving this year, brick has figured in
but few, and they were small ones Some
comment has been expressed over this
fact, but President erode, Of the board

There are some grades of brick" said
Mr.. erode, yesterday, that are very good,
but L find that as rule the people don't
want it used on their streets. The taste
is running to asphalt, though where there
is heavy grade, we generally insist on
sandstone. 1t is a lasting material, but
it's cost prevents it from being a favorite
with those that have to pay the BILL
Brick, Mr.. erode says, seems to have
received a setback from the fact that
some of it now in the central part of the
city has not given the satisfaction it was
promised to give.
The hill district is credited with having
given asphalt it's popularity, and now
when residence street is up for a hear
ing as to the kind of material to be
used, asphalt has been the preference Be
cause of it's smoothness, general cleanl1-
ness and freedom from noise, its admirers
along West Seventh street have increased
in such numbers that it will be undoubt-
edly used on that thoroughfare Sand
stone, however, has still many followers,
and those who want it on West Seventh
street are sparing no efforts to have it
used. Petitions for both stone and as
phalt are now being industriously cir
culated among the property owners.
