AEvIcToRY or NATIONAL coNsE

When the political story of Rhode
Island was recently told in the maya
zines the most hopeless part OF 1t was
contained in the proof that the voters,
who were led about like sheep to do
the bi1dine of a blind political boss.

political machine to do these things
which are the worst for the state,
what could be expected from such an
example from the hordes of incoming
foreigners of the grade that flock to
the manufacturing centers Of the
country?
For generation that state has been
ruled with a rod OF iron by political
boss. Before him all other powers bow
ed. He was the arbiter of the politi-
cal fate of every man within its bor-

ture ruled. They were puppets OF Gen

interest of his machine and for TIE
benefit of the corporations who sought
public favor at a cheap price for tnein-
selves
But the moral world has been NOV

and the best proof Of It is offered by
the fact that the power of the boss is
broken, If not actually shattered. in

THE CITY CAMPAIGN.

1t is conceded on all hands that
Lewiston is just entering on an era OF
new development, and progress in all
lines is anticipated. With this in view
the city itself has projected new line
Of improvements which will necessi-
tate the expenditure of large sums of
money. The issue then in the coming
city campaign Is an issue of progress
along conservative lines. It is surely
no time for radicalism nor for making
experiments.
The taxpayers have signified an in
tention of expending money for need
ed public improvements. They have
gone so far as to say that they are
willing to anticipate the future and
build for the Lewiston of tomorrow.
In taxing their present resources to
make this outlay OF money, they have
also in mind the fact that they want
the money spent wisely and conser-
vatively. To this end they are at this
time, especially interested IN the cleo
tAOA VI q HidyOT anu CITY COunC1ITnen
that will safeguard all interests.
The administration needs the strong
support Of the business interests Of
the city. insuring a hearty co-opera-
ton in all lines OF progressive work.
The enterprising citizens OF the city
are now banded together as never be-
fore in the history Of the community.
and the city government should be one
that finds itself in happy accord with
the present progressive movement, not
along radical lines Of those whose zeal
sometimes runs ahead of good iudg-
ment, but conservatively ana along
lines that win make for material prog
ress, Some Of these lines have be-
come well defined and some Of the
projects already launched and the citi-
zens have a basis to Judge whether or
not they need or even want a change

by the roadside. The fellow watched
them as they passed 10y and ordered
them to stop. Mr.. Reseman paid no
attention to him and the negro called
to the horse, which stepped. He then
jumped up behind them and laying his
hand upon Mrs. Reeeman. declared
h a he was going to kill them both.

Officers Have Made Thorough Search
For Man But So Far He Has Elud-

be Captured.
Despite the energetic efforts of Of

fcers, l.. NJ. Bryant, Jointly charged
by the jury with f. T. Cook
and Jesse higgins, with having caus-
ed the death Of Banks Rothwell, the
negro who was killed in cold blooded
fashion at his home on Federal
Point road near the city on Thurs
day morning last, has so far elud-

other two defendants have been ar
rested n they are now lodged
in the county Jail, where they are
held without bail for the next term
Of superior court, which meets in
January, when their case will be
tried.
The authorities have diligently
serched for the man and they have
traced down a number of rumors
as to his whereabouts, but without
success.
On the day following the murder
before suspicion against any one
was strong enough to warrant ac-
ton, it is stated that Bryant was
seen dozens of. times in the city and
that he spent a large portion of the
day liz superior court listening to the
argument Of lawyers in the Snipes
case. But since that afternoon, al

failed in their efforts to get their
hands or the man.
All day Sunday Sheriff Cowan
an dseveral deputies secured a por-
ton Of the county in search Of Bry-
ant.
In the party with the sheriff were
Deputies Cox. Piver and Capps and
in vehicles they drove through Ma
sOnbOrO, Myrtle Grove and to Caro-
lima Beach. At several places diff
ferent ones reported that they had
seen Bryant Saturday afternoon, but
that he had successfully disappear
ed from every place.
The plans of the officers are not
known but it can be stated that they
will not give VI the chase until Bry-
ant has been landed.
The impression of the public is
that he is the guilty man Of the three
The whole occurrence is considered
to have been the outcome of a land
controversy between Bryant and Mr..
j. II. Burriss, which finally reached
the courts n is now on the calen-
dar of the criminal court of this
county. The dead man, Banks Roth
well, was the main witness for Mr..
Burriss and the belief that Bryant
had something to do with his kill
ing was strengthened by the testi-
mony before the coroner's jury Of
Mrs. Mary Rothwell, who stated that
in July Bryant, in a conversation
with her husband, had threatened
to use powder and lead" on the ne !
gro. :
For the sake Of justice and in the
Of having proper punishment

forts OF the officers and will wish
them luck in the apprehension of

RECEIPTS AT THE POSTOFFICE
For Quarter Just Ending Show Gain
8 Per Cent.

o ESk NtHls
The receipts at the Wilmington
pUstoffice for tn quarter ending
last night amounted to S22,2O6.27,
compared with s20,449.22 for the
corresponding quarter a year ago.
This shows an increase of $1,757.05,
or a fraction over 81 e cent.
This Increase is only fair and does
not maintain the percentage of gain
heretofore shown. The reason for
this is due to the difficulty in OBJ
tanning special request envelopes
from the new contractor for this
work, none of the orders sent in
in from this postoffce since August
5rd, having been filled by thfsxzfff
Bird having been filled up this time.
Postmaster Wallace desires to call
the public's attention to the fact that
the registry department is now open
at 1880 a. m, instead of s a. N as
heretofore, this giving time to get
