For eight days they labored steadily:

INDEPENDENCE
OF PARTY,

It is true, eS a Washington corres-
pondent points ont, that the course of
ten Republican senators in carrying
their opposition to the Aldrich bill to
the point of voting against 1t marks
a great gain in the spirit Of indepen-
dence u party. Here Is case where
the party under, selfish, unpatriotic
and shortsighted leadership has proved
false to ITS promises and faithless to
the puoi;c interest. Parties are often
that, and usua ly IN the past party men
in Office Lave lined up with the ma

Different styles of dress are becom-

Some women are able to wear the di-

Others are a fright. A woman ought
to be able to select such styles of dress
as are becoming TO her and not blindly
follow every new style, fad or Stiffness.

PLAYING HORSE.

To the proverDla, "man up a tsee,''
dt looks very much as though the COM
pany which was awarded the contract
for repairing the asphalt streets OF
the city was playing horse" with the
city officials. The contract originally
called for the completion OF the work
by June lv., then 8 stay of execution
was granted aud the time was extend
ed until July 10th. Now 1t is July 18th
and not sing.e move has been made
by the company 10 carry out it's part OF
the contract.
1t Is we'll known that all pavings,
and especially asphalt pavings, should
be laid during che settled weather of
summer, in order that the founda-
tions be given plenty of time to become
fixed before the changable, freezing
waether of the fall and winter begins
The repairs upon Church and Prospect
streets should be made so that the
patches will become firm before fall.
then work will emount to something.
The company which has the contract is
fooling with the city, putting off the
work should have been completed a
month ago AMI which most certainly
should have been completed today,
even taking into consideration the ex-
tension of time which was granted.
1t is time tho city officials were get
ting busy and either bringing the paw
ing company 10 time, or cancelling the
contract, appropriating the forfeit
money and awarding a contract to a
firm which will do the work and do 1t
promptly.
