Rltouethar Too Good.

A Sunday or SO ago it was told in
this column how President Cleveland
declined to give former Mayor James
K. MCGUIRE of Syracuse an office in
b consular service on the ground
that Mcclure had none of the genteel
Democratic vices. An old friend Of
elnuel J, Tilden said yesterday that
this story had a precursor in M. Til
dens time, and he added:
In the days when Uncle. Sammy
was governor a delegation swooped
down upon him from Utica to urge
the claims of q patriot from that pent-
up suburb.
HE is one of our best citizens
said n in the delegation. He is
singularly free from the infrmities of
man. He uses alcohol in no form.
YES chirped another Of the dele
cation. he passes the hat regularly in
church, he is a model citizen, he
doesn't even smoke. He is a pillar of
U little community
Uncle Sammy listened in silence,
and when the last word was said he
gently stroked his chin and in his
accustomed whisper murmured: Don't
trust him, gentleman, don't trust him.
He evidently has no small vices

SOME THINGS TO ACHIEVE.

At this season whensthe old year is
Just passing out and the new year is
coming in, marking, q it We're, steps
in ou lives as individuals and commu-
mites, it is a most appropriate time to
take stock of our achievements and
lay plans for the future.
In taking stock asa city We should
note mat a beginning was made to-
wards numbering the houses and
marking the streets. This has not
been finished, and it falls within the
province of the City Council to take
8 up this matter With the new year and
have the work finished satisfactorily.
Lafayette, also, is entitled to free
mail delivery and has been for about
two years The matter has dragged
and dragged, and although committees
have beep appointed to see about the
installation of free mail delivery in
Lafayette, no installation has taken
place, nor has the public been made
aware either of progress in that direc-
ton or the cause of failure. This is
a matter also that falls to the Council
to attend to, and if possible push to a
speedy. conclusion.
Also among the unfinished bust
ness" of the Council might be placed
the matter of an electrical fire alarm
system. This is an urgently needed
public improvement and the Council
can please the people in no better
the natter the electrical fire alarm
system at the .ealiest moment possible
let us hope long before the town
shall suffer from a disastrous confa-
CATION for lack of the prompt location
Of a fire.
The above are three things that
will add much to the town in conven-
fence and safety, and now is a most
opportune time for the mayor and mem
bers of the City Council each and sew
orally to make a New Years resolution
that the April showers will not fall
before Lafayette has all three.

who fired the fatal shot. Nichols and
eighteen others were arrested.
The house was almost shot to pieces by
the troops in their efforts to gain an en-
trance apparently to lynch the men who
they thought had killed their comrade. For
more than an hour the eighteen men held
the fort against the regiment and the resi-
dents of that section of the city fled to
their houses rTtting out the lights and re-
treating to the cellars for safety.
All over the district any person who at
tempted to leave was halted at the point
Of a bayonet and every wagon was searched
