THE ALDERMANIO VACANCY.

The voters OF the Fourth ward have
always been careful in the selection OF
their representative In Council. When
the voters select they feel hat it Is the
sentiment of the majority. A vacancy
has occurred in the Board OF Aldermen
by virtue of the appointment OF Capt.
w. II. Sweeney, as superintendent OF
schools. While the position OF alder
man has no salary attached, 1t is the
wish OF the voters of the Fourth ward to
have chance to select. Under the
present custom the remaining member of
the Bard of Aldermen from the Fourth
ward can Dame the successor OF Capt.
Sweeney, and 1t is not certain that the
one he may named would be desired by
Que. fifth of the votes. I1asmuch ss
primary will be held in q month why
not let those who want to enter The fight
fJr Aldermen do 80 on this day ? II will
cost practically nothing and everybody
will be satisfied. II this is not done aud
the voters given chance to express
their opinion as to the merits OF the
candidates, those responsible for the se-
lection Of the successor OF Ospt. Sweeney
might Just as well retire when their
terms OF office expire. L..

July FOURTH falling on SUNDAY thi'
vesr Monday will be observed as the
holiday. Independence Day, next t(
Christmas, is the most generally OBJ
served holiday 10 the south and In this
city especially there is an almost general
suspension of business after the morOlpg
hours. The Potomac seems to have
mcmillan attraction for Alexandrians on
the Fourth aud hundreds will spend the
day on the river OF going thereby to the
various resorts and quiet places along it,
banks. Too much caution cannot be
taken by those who so spend their holi'
day. On Sunday and Monday launches
of all varieties, sail boats, row boats and
avery other kind of boats will be brought
into requisltion and the risk of overturn
ing. sinking or collision is very great
Dare should be taken not to overcrowd
the beats, nor to race them and to avoid
coming too close to passing steamers.
A sail on the Potomac is very delight
fol psstime but its waters, like those Of
sll rivers, are trescherous at times and
too mauy sad accidents have happened
on holidays not to be reminder to those
who will spend the day on the river.

whole huge game of business through
which the nation had been passing was
played in the main by honest men, each
serving his own particular interest with
intensity and devotion. And yet, in
spite of their apparent success, their
prosperity had been checked BY hostile
legislation and the public rendered dis
trustful toward them. The reason was
that the captains of industry had paid no
attention to the welfare OF others and
had left craftsmanship to the poll
