NEW CouNcILMEN

Doubt cannot exist among the voters as to the
quality of service which Mayor Wells has given them
The superior of Mayor Wells has not occupied the
Mayors chair in st. Louis. The may be said in
truth Of the present City Council Two years ago the
the House Of Delegates. To-day we have a Council
that is far beyond reproach that be tempted
that puts public business above private interests and
considerations.
The nominees selected by the Democrats to fill the
six vacancies that will be created by retiring Repub
licans are men who be trusted to serve the city
rhonorably. Their election will secure to Mayor
Wells majority sufficient to carry his policies OF
progress and reform. larger Democratic majority
is needed by the administration. At present the
Democrats have majority Of one
Should not the new candidates be elected the Re
publicans could by uniting with one or two Demo

be delayed or defeated At least one Democrat in the
Council has not always been deemed safe as q friend
OF the administration. More than once his position
on certain important matters has been In question.
With majority Of only one and that one doubt
full the Democratic strength is satisfactory The
minority party would have power almost equal to the
majority party; for the shifting Of the one uncertain
VOTE designed to impress personal interest on
the Mayor, would block legislation. This would not
/ be wholly improbable.
That Mayor Wells is entitled to safe majority in
harmony with his policy cannot be disputed. His
work for the betterment Of st. Louis is the platform

BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

He mountain and the squirrel
Had quarrel;
And the former called the latter Little PriE."
Bun replied.
You are doubtless very big;
But ali sorts Of things and weather
Must be taken in together,
To make up year
And a sphere.
And think IL no disgrace
To occupy my place.
II I'm not so large as you,
You are not go small as I,
And not half so spry.
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track;
Talents differ: all is well and wisely put;
If cannot carry forests my back,
Neither can you crack a nut"

SPORTING WORLD.

Who is to be the referee of the
Fredericks-Lewis fight which is to be
pulled off at the Spokane Amateur
Athletic club next week? The ques-
tion seems a difficult one to settle.
Several names have been suggested,
among which are Eddie Quinn, DR.. H.
B. Luhn, Max Karter, Joe Fitzgerald
and W. II. Plummer. Either of them
would undoubtedly handle the fight
in way highly satisfactory to all
parties, as they know the game thor
oughly. The question of preliminaries
has not been completely settled as
yet. although those who Quinn has
on the list will furnish good fun
and excitement preceding the main
event. A plan of the seats for spec
tators has been prepared. There are
130 reserved seats and the sale, which
commenced at noon today, is lively.
