Saturday, 18Th September, 1893.

Some people would no doubt Ike to see
our capital lit by electric lights, others would
be satisfied with gas lights as they have
them III st. Thomas, while Others again
would be content with kerosene lamps such
as hight the streets 'of Frederiksted.
We have hitherto been too poor appa-
reutly at this end to have any Of them, but
now it will gladden. many Of our Basin
readers to know that we IRE to have some
thing like so kerosene lamps put up in our
town. A move started by a citizen and
carried forward by one of our Council
Members, Mr., Morris Pretto, has led to
private subscriptions being contributed for
the purchase ind putting up Of these lamps,
and the Government is willing to find the
money for lighting them, the Municipal
Committee being also favourable to the
necessary grant.
II will therefore not be long before we
shall be able on dark and wet nights to see
where the puddles and the muddy spots are;
while the Gendarmes and the Police will
have a good servant to assist them in the per
Torrance of their night duties.
The thanks OF the public in and out of
Bnssin are due to our active Town Member
for pushing this maker through to a success

SChdffeT Sells Business.

Many in this city will regret to learn
that Henry Schaffer has sold his grocery
business at III west Main street to
Schwenzen & Stiemke who will take
over the stock and store April 10. and
who need no introduction to the people
of this city, for they have been doing a
successful grocery business here for
several years. Mr. Schaffer has been in
trade here for about three years and has
established good business which he
transfers to his successors with the hope
that his patrons will continue to trade
at the old stand, for Schwenzen e Stiemke
will treat them right. Mr., Schaffer has
not definitely decided as what he will do,
except that he will go to Milwaukee and
il he finds good opening, engage in
business in that city or become COM
mercial pilgrim. During his residence
in Watertown, he and his estimabe wife
have made a host of friends who will re-
gret their departure from this city and
wish them success in their new home
and hope, for their eventual return to

Sweet and Sad Memories

The Congrega ational church edifics
which has been the home for many
years for those of that faith, where
they met and worship together, many
of whom have crossed to the other
side, is being GIsmantled and will
soon be removed and In time new
editice will replace it mUre in keep
ing with the demands Of the times.
Around the old church must cluster
many sweet ana sad memories. To
the younger generation who worship
there, no doubt the sad memory will
return maybe that father or mother
or some other dear one worshiped in
the old church now disappearing.
Somehow, the writer views with re-
gret the disappearance of the old
things he has loved. the old land
marks of the happier days of life.
The aye of progress is upon US and
we must keep step with the advancing

is too good for God, even if it re-

VOLUME XIX
Last word Before Election

The talk about voting for demo-
crat or republican candidates for
municipal offices in order to main
tain party organization IS the veriest
rot and will not deceive the intelii-
gent voters. In municipal affairs,
there should be no party distinctions,
the only question being the man and
his fitness for the position for which
he is an aspirant, and those who
would insist on party lines being
observed have ulterior objects IN vew.
At the present time party, claims are
mighty slight, both of the dominant
pares being badly disinUegrated by
reason Of factIonaI differences and
opposition to bossism locally, IN
state and in the nation. Today,
those who have marched in the past
under separate and distinctive ban
ners are found shoulder to shoulder
in the great fight for the rights of
the people. The primary election
law and civil service in state and
nation have disrupted both of the old
parties and it no longer question of
politics, but the man, he who can
best serve the people. The time
has past when men can be influenced
in the exercise of their suffrage rights
by the party whip welded by politi-
clans who care more for their own
interests than those of the people.
good government and an economical
eXpenditur of public funds.
The voters in this city on the 6lh
inst, should pick out the best men
regardless of political label and vote
for them whatever may have been
their political affiliations in the past.
We all desire good government and
It is up to the voters to secure it.
DO not be fooled by the sUphistry
Of interested parties, but vote right
and preserve your independ nee and
manhood. We need men IN the
council who can be depended upon to
protect the interests of the taxpayers
men who cannot be influenced by
any means to ba faithless-m who
will stand for high ideals men who
have the best interests of all at
heart.
The writer will vote for both demo-
Gratis and republicans, not because of
any political sympathy with eithr,
but because he dues not believe in
dragging municipal, school or judicial
matters into politics. AS has aIreadv
been said, vote for the man the best
prepared to render the best service
and then go home feeling that your
duty has been we'll preformed
