The Yankee Shippers Opinion.

steamer OF course. he carried his chart
with him and consulted 1t frequently. One
day he was at fault, so he asked the cap

The Yankee handled the chart gingerly, and

Municipal Control.
From the Rome Nuova Antologfa.


If the question of the NATURALIZATION of
public services is to be decided by the light
of the financial results. thee conclusion can
not be otherwise than: snhfavorable. Towns
do not make profits, and there is no proba-
biltty of their making profifs in the future.
But such conclusion would only be par
TALLY justified. There is a Social as well as
a financial side to the question, and social
interests counsel the direct control of the
public services despite the financial disad-
vantageS.

A Knock-Down Argument.

| A knock-down argument took
place at the county Democratic
convention Tuesday between j.
A. Collet and G.. p. Vandiver,
the editor of the COURIER, grow
ing out of Vandiver's objection
to being gagged by other men,
bers of the Keytesville township
delegation, who had undertaken
to enforce unit rule on the del
egation without due authority.
The Keytesville township mass
meeting did not instruct the
townships delegates to vote as
a unit at the county convention,
and when about 10 members of
the Keytesville delegation, in
caucus assembled, undertook to
pass a law unto themselves to that
effect, Vandiver objected, but
eight of the 10 delegates voted in
favor Of disregarding parliament
ary law in regard to the unit rule,
and Vandiver and JAS. M. Hersh-
ey opposed this unwarranted ac-
ton Of the delegation.
Subsequently, when Vandiver
insisted on his rights at the coun-
ty convention, his position was
sustained by the chair and his
minority vote was counted.
Collet acknowledged to Vandi-
yer, in a private conversation,
that he (Vandiver) was right
under a strict construction Of
parliamentary usages, yet when
Vandiver informed Collet that
he (Vandiver) intended to stand
for his rights, Collet accused him
of a desire to bolt the delegation,
and informed him that he would
would never be elected to an
other county convention, which
was the first intimation Vandiver
ever had that Collet held the
Democrats Of Keytesville town
ship at his beck and call and az q
nattti OF convenience carried
them IN his vest pocket.
Then came another thrust and
Collet SAID hat if Vandiver vCt-
ed as ne had determined he
would be boiling the delega
ton. This Vandiver denied
and insisted that he was only
standing for his rights, which
Collet again admitted, but was
50 Inconsistent as to say, while
admitting the correctness Of
Vandiver's position, that if Van
diver wanted to, be a Jackass and
bolt the delegation he could do
SO.
This was too much for Van
divers temperament and his
right hand reached out and dealt
Collet a blow in the face. AS
soon as Collet recovered from his
surprise he struck Vandiver on
the left side of the forehead.
At this juncture other dele
gates interfered and put a stop
to further hostilities.
Through the instrumentality
of r. L. Hamilton, acting in the
capacityof peace maker, Bob in
duced the two belligerents to
shake hands later in the evening.
Vandlver hopes that the Dem
ocrats of Keytesville township
now know more about how to
enforce the unit rule on their
delegates hereafter in case such
a rule should be their pleasure.
But above all, be fair, be honest,
be fearless, contend for your
rights and fight for them if you
can't get them without fighting.
