Thus we see that three men APP
pointed by the mayor have more
power than three men elected by the
people, in other words it will take four
men elected by the people to pass any
measure over the heads of three men
appointed by the mayor. This may Je
proper but it is hard to make ordinary
mortals see it that way. The mayor
Will appoint recorder which shall
correspond to the present clerk, ser
geant, treasurer, city engineer, build
ing commissioner, police judge,
city attorney, and the board of affairs
shall appoint an auditor and chief Of
the lire department.
The police judge shall have about
the same jurisdiction as is now pos
sessed by the mayor. The Mayor shall
appoint chief of police and such
number of police officers as may be
permitted by ordinance subject to the
confirmation of the council.
The council shall have power to reg
ulate the sale of cocaine, morphine
opium and such other dangerous
drugs.
1t shall be unlawful for any officer
of the city to accept any free pass or
free transportation on any street rail-
way or any free gift of free water,
light, heat or any other thing of value
from any person or firm having fran

Both democratic and republican
state platforms declared for the sub
mission Of prohibition amendment
to the constitution. The republicans
have easy control of both houses OF
cur state legislature and the coming
contest will give them an opportunity
to show how sincere they have been IN
their platform declarations. We will
venture the prediction that they will
not LET the amendment be submitted
and show that they are about as in
sincere as they have been in the mat
ter Of general primary election law
which they have been promising for
so many years.

The Charleston correspondent to the
Wheeling Register says:
Senator A. &. McIntIre, of the Fiji

to look after the interests of his CON

who will do what he regards a right

of the seven papers in his district were
opposed to him during the campaign,
but he had a comfortable majority
wren the ballots were counted.

GENTLEMEN ROTH

In commenting onSthe eulogy de-
ltv"rcd over the refnatns Of colored
man BY a celebrated Virginia lawyer,
the Columbus. O. State journal ex-
hibited breadth Of vision and free
dom from prejudice no whit less
than the man whose words it com
mended. The mere fact Of the Jour
nails quoting the words of the eulo-
gist's entities it to the same kindly
consideration as is accorded the
speaker.
Says the Journal:
:. The other day. down in Virginia, q
colored man died, and q celebrated
lawyer who had been his lifelong
tricnds pronounced eulogy upon
him. He characterized the Negro as
n perfect gentleman man In whose
heart was no hatred, envy .malice,
but on the other baud, HE heart was
fun OF kindness, tenderness and SYM
PATTY. And thus the lawyer further
spoke: ;. &c. - -.. .-.-
In the words. OF your preacher.
His aun hRB gone down." Indeed.
But yoif all, Rh6ss> after = brilliant
sunset q beautiful: twilight fingers.
SO Likewise with him; hie pure life
has set, but the; glory OF liza twilight
fingers sttll and viii fagey Tor some
time, and when 1t finally fades away
then .memoey Wall with pleasure and
delight recall him to us as he was In
life. ''.''' =
Isn't that beautifully said? And
could any one :wiah delightSulIer
tribute paid him when he has cross
ed the bar, than u spoken Of this
dear old Eegro?. And how much one
can admire that lawyer who can see
past social ana racial limitations. and
recognize worth fof It's own sake!
