The president has announced a sue
cessor to Paul Morton for head of the
navy department in the person of
Charles j. Bonaparte, of Baltimore.
Bonaparte is a descendant of the fam
lily of Bonaparte, being a grandson of
Joseph, the brother of Napoleon He
conducted the investigation into the
postoffice scandals, and was very
thorough in his methods, thus incur
ring the enmity of lot of fellows,
like Machen, Lorenz and Perry S.

Now in relation to the paving and
caring for streets. Why not set the
curbing outside these rows of trees,
construct eight or ten-foot sidewalks
and plant the rest in grass, requiring
the property-owner to keep the same
in good condition. 1t would require
the expenditure of but few cents or
an hour or so of work each week, and
the result would be simply grand and
very pleasing. Municipal beauty is be-

in this one? Sordid commercialism
has occupied our attention so long;
we have been so busy that we have
forgotten the things that delight the
eye and make happy the soul; is it not
time that we took look backward at
the things that used to delight us and
determine that we will preserve what
we have of them now and add to
them as we live? Save the trees, Do
not let them be cut down, and de-
stroyed. 1t would be a sin, a crime.

An Era of Reform

is only temporary. In many
cases the failure can be attributed
to the people in general through
the lack Of encouragement and
indifference. Police officers are
often negligent in the perform
ance of their sworn duties. While
this city has good police protec-
ton, the bIue-cOatS occasionally
become careless. There is COM
plant made by a few citizens that
the night policemen do not, patrol
certain streets as frequently as
thew should. In fact, it is claim
ed by certain residents that a po-
lice officer is lot seen on some OF
the thoroughfares of the city for
weeks at a time. All sections of
the city should be patroled regu-
larly, and no partiality should be
shown in the matter, as IS often
done. The policemen are paid out
of the city treasury, and each and
every citizen are entitled to equal
protection. There are citizens,
also. who make the emphatic as
sertion that saloons receive much
more attention and protection
from the police department than
do other places of business or
private residences. We do not
pretend, however, to be posted
thoroughly in this latter charge,
but if such is the existing state
of affairs it is altogether wrong
and should be remedied. All
should be protected alike.

permanent one might almost be
led to believe that the millennium

followed by the old conditions,
and in some instances in more
aggravated form. 1t is the same
very frequently in towns and Dor

The special term of Circuit
court adjourned yesterday after
being continued from day to day,
waiting on the report of the COM
missioners appointed to assess the
land of H. w. Mccoy by the Ohio
Valley Electric Railway company.
The report and exceptions endors-
ed thereon are given. in full. 1t
will be seen from the reading OF
the report that two OF the said
commissioners refused to sign the
same, Nathan Salsberry and j. l..
Mcintyre. The explanation given
to the court for the omission OF
their signature was that said
commissioners considered $1,000
too much damages, and therefore
refused to sign the report. Farm
ing land adjoining the Greatest
Town on Earth must be valuable
when $1,000 is considered as
compensation for the condemna-
ton of about one-half acre. We
will not feel surprised over the
depreciation in value of this real
estate when reported to j. B.
Taught, the new assessor OF land,
at it's true and actual value.

we have viewed the real estate
owned by Henry Mccoy mention

compensation for so much OF the
said real estate as is proposed to
be taken by the said applicant,
that is to say: All the following
parcel of real estate lying and be-
