the EXPECTED HAPPENED.
Mayor Eaton Vetoes the New lmpound-
ina Ordinance.

AT the nesting of the city council |
Tuesday evening Mayor Eaton. as
anticipated, returned the new i'm
pounding ordinance with a veto at.
tachment, the alleged reason - set
forth in his communication being
that "there ought to be time limit
ed in which the COWS would be al
lowed to come into the city. and 90
out, on the principle that all peo-
pie, both rich and poor, in the city
of Virginia, shonld have equal
rights and privileges"
The veto demands no further
mention than that, if such time linn
it is omitted from said ordinance,
we fail to see wherein call people,
both rich and poor, in the city of
Virginia." would not be granted
equal privileges under it's provis-
ions. We have heard it contended
that mule was the most stubborn
animal ever created, but we believe
this opinion must have been formed
before the English invaded Alpena.
The mayor also vetoed the resolu-
ton for sewers beween Poplar and
Cedar streets and between Hemlock
and Birch streets. His course was
guided by the alleged financial ina
bility of the city to make such i'm
provements this year, and the fact
that water mains are not yet laid in
the districts.
An ordinance establishing grade
of Chestnut street. was presented
and received its first reading.
City Attorney Shea notified the
council of his appointment of O. II.
Griggs as assistant city attorney,
the appointment being confirmed.
Messrs. E. a. Cimmery and HI
Holden, representing the Northern
Cement Co., establishing works in
this city, appeared before the body
asking that in the plans and speci-
fications for paving concrete curb
and cutters be included in the ma
terial to he given consideration.
The request was granted upon mo-
ton of Alderman Mesberg. The
gentlemen also made proposition
to put in cement cross-walk at the
alley between Chestnut and Walnut
streets on Central avenue, free, as
sample of their work, their PROPOSE
ton being accepted with becoming
grace.
The council adjourned until this
evening, at which time it is hoped
full membership may be present, in
| which case action on the vetoes sub
United may be looked for.

Bailey for United States senator
This was the only name requested to
be placed on the ticket for this place.
The vote, according to my official
returns stood thus: ]. w. Bailey,
2319 votes; NJ. NJ. Crane, votes.
The name of NJ. NJ Crane was not
ordered to be placed upon the ticket
and under the strict letter of section
124, above quoted. rendered every bal.
lot on which 1t was written illegal,
and not entitled to be counted. Now,
who will say Bailey is not the nomi-
nee of the Democrats of this county
for United States senator?
But 1t is contended that he was
declared the nominee of the state De-
mocracy by the state convention, and
there was no law for It. The all suffi-
cient authority for the action of the
state convention is the fact that there
is no law against it. There is no
broad prohibitory provision in the law
that could possibly include such ac-
ton as the convention took. Had
there been more than one candidate
for the position such action would
have been necessary in order to as
certain the will of the majority. As
there was only one candidate the
matter of declaring him the nominee
was purely formal. 1t had this effect:
If it is true that the executive COM
mittees of one or two counties did
not place his name on the county |
ticket. the Democratic senators and |
from those counties
would not have been under obliga. |
ion to vote for him had the conven-
ion not taken such action. When il |
lid take such action il bound every
nan who owes his election to the
Democratic party, every man who
participated in the primaries; for it
involves the very basic principle of
organization-majority rule.

things. I nave been hunting for a

THE ELECTION is OVER.
To the Herald:

To the Herald:
Now that the election is over ant
we are to have a clean. level-headeC
man at the head of affairs. in spite
of all the corrupt influences that
could be brought to bear by design
ing men, some high in political posi-
ton. Tom Campbell is our next gov.
ernor. Backed by the people, we may
confidently look for nothing less than
clean-cut administration of public
affairs. Mr.. Campbell is of the peo-
pie, and stands squarely for good
government; hence he is for a peo-
pies government and was made
governor of this great state by the
people. not by machine politics. j.
shall await his message to the legis-
lature with patience.
But. fellow-Democrats. the task is
not complete. We have another duty
to perform. Another high position to
fill. another man, clean man, to find.
and we cannot afford to be derelict in
selecting him. We cannot afford to
curse the Republicans for their white
washing of men and go into the same
business down here in Texas. Don't
hand the Republicans our cudgeI to
mall us with. /, for one, claim that
no one man carries the Democratic
party of Texas in his vest pocket.
and now we have splendid oppor.
tunity to teach big men this lesson.
Now, | mean large in their own con-
ceit. Our Legislature is to elect a
United States senator. If the mem
bers think that the body is nampered
by the sO-called endorsement that
Mr.. Bailey received in the primary
election. let the people disabuse their
minds by speaking out plainly on the
subject. There is no law regulating
the nomination or election of United
States senators by a direct vote of
the people. This is a duty OF the leg
islative arm of the government, and
through it alone can the work be

Bailey's record was clear so far as
the peoples knowledge was con-

And Bailey has failed up to this good
hour TO set a single charge aside
made against him, except by a fat
denial of all charges made by his en-
emies against him.

CHINESE WATER CHESTNUTs
RAISED In Immense Quantities In
Natural Water Ways of
the Empire.

Where there are SO many canals there
is more or less swamp ground. In China
this is utilized for the raising of lotus
roots, from which commercial arrowroot
is largely obtained, says writer. There
is no reason why much of the waste
swamp land in the southern portion of
the United States should not be used for
similar purpose, and the commercial
returns from venture of this sort in
that part of the country ought to be sat
1sfactory Where the canals of China
Widen, by reason of natural water ways
or for other reasons, the expanse OF wa
ter not needed for actual navigation is
made use of in the raising of water nuts
OF several varieties, especially what are
known as water chestnuts. These nuts
are raised in immense quantities. They
are, strictly speaking, bulbs rather than
nuts. They are rich in arrowroot and
are prolific, an acre of shallow water pro-
ducing far more than an acre of well cul-
tivated soil planted in ordinary grain or
similar crops. These nuts, also, could be
produced to advantage in the United
States, where there is land inundated for
the growing season to depth which will
give ordinary water plants a chance to
thrive and which is not capable of being
drained for the time being The nuts or
bulbs are toothsome when roasted, and
are wholesome, but probably would be
more valuable in the United tates for
the manufactured products which can
be secured from them.

Pedigree" of "Fog. !"

If any Londoner crawling up to bust
ness by train or tram through the fcs
turned his idle mind to wondering why
it was called fog" he would Erc badly
decide that it could not have been called
anything else. Fog" is its obvious
name. Yet there is much speculation
among philologists on this point Dr..
Murrays dictionary suggests an inter
esting pedigree. AS far back as the
fourteenth century fog" meant after
grass. the rank grass that sprang up aft
er hay harvest or grew in the winter,
while in the north it meant moss. TLen
''fcggy" came to mean bcggy; next It
was used to mean bloated CT puffy. Ct he
flesh of men or animals, and, finally. as
applied to ale or air, it meant thick.
and our modern fog was derived back
from this "foggy." Skeat, however.

TRICK OF A PARIS THIEF.
Impersonated Angry Husband and
Secured a Good Sum Of
Money.

A traveller remarks that the Partisan
swindler is the subtlest and the most in
domitable one in the world. He was the
other day strolling through fashion
able French shop.
A woman entered and proceeded to
purchase a costly set of silver dishes,
and meanwhile a we'll dressed man lin
gered at the doorway as though waiting
for her
The woman, her purchase concluded,
counted roll of bank notes and ad-
vancel to the cashiers desk, holding
them in her hand Then, of a sudden,
the man rushed upon her.
You wretch" he exclaimed; didn't
tell you that you shouldn't have those
dishes?" And he slapped her upon the
cheek, tore the bank notes from her hand
and stalked Indignantly out OF the shop.
The woman tainted. 1t was ten min
utes before she was brought to, and
meanwhile those in the shop, believing
that a family quarrel was in progress,
did nothing. On her recovery the man
ager of the place said, regretfully:
I'VE are sorry, madam, for this occur
renee Your husband"
My husband! that was not my hus-
band" the woman cried. He Is a
thief"
She had never seen the man before.
