 Considering the number of re- | volvers and other death dealing weapons taken from prisoners at the police station, it is a wonder that the public never hears of the full length of the lash being given to some of. fender, or rather to all of them When the thing is noticed and a 1 fine of s5 and costs or something like that is imposed they come down with the dust and laugh at the humor of the thing.

 The board of public works appears to be fighting shy of the resolution passed by the aldermen requesting that concerts be given at Hamilton park and such other places as the commissioners might determine dur. ing the summer months. The pres. ent administration appears very timid about charter provisions, and so long as no appropriation was made for that purpose some of the commis- sioners don't see where they can get money to pay the cost of public con. certs. This is all nonsense. No ap. propriation was made for concerts under the former administration. but they were held just the same and the musicians got their money.

They went for it like a charge Of cavalry and went bang into it. demolishing the entire front.
