3 Times NO QUORUM
AbsecOn Clerk and Three Councilmen. Were
Faithful-0thers Absent

Three unsuccessful attempts to hold
meetings of Absecon's councilmen have
been made. Bad weather interfered on
the first occasion and the pow-wow was
deferred till last Monday evening, but
the legislators had other fish cooking
and Tuesday evening was set upon, but
only three faithful members were seated
at SIS pm, and Messrs. Babcock, Krause
and Mattson left the rooms in disgust.
Another attempt will be held the even-
ing before the last day of the week, Feb.

Councilman Charles D. Krause, in tones
emphatic, deplored the disinterested and
apathetic attitude of the city's council
men, and expressed himself thus: my
aim as representative of the people

much regularity as possible. The city's
prosperity, growth and development de-
pend upon live civic body. I am the
oldest member of city council and, with
one exception, live the greatest distance

seven years have been compelled to wait
in the storm, wind or cold without shelf.
er. Judge Sadler replied that he would
grant the concession providing an agree

personally saw Mr.. Gale, of the trolley
company, who announced his willingness
to have a waiting room provided within
two weeks from date of agreement. Now

Ah! stranger of my native isle,
From far across the sea,
What mem'ries sweet of bygone days

The same old smile is on THY face
As when I saw thee last.
Now Guinness, will thee embrace
AS in the days long past.
How oft mid jovial merry times
Thou didsit my heart inspire
To sing of many happy themes
With true poetic Tyre!
When cares and trouble crowd my pa h
And put my wits to rout,

My friend, Q Guinness Stout
Thy breath is like summers gale
Fresh from old Englands shore,
With old friends piotur'd in thy face
That | may see no more.
Many moons we've now been parted
And what an age it seems,
But, Guinness, | was true to thee,
And loved thee in my dreams
Yes, though upon a foreign shore,
Three thousand miles I've strayed.
Thou vert not by the bard forgot;
Thy name shall never fade,
But whilst Dame Nature gives me breath
I will thy praises shout;
And here's health to dear old friends
Once more in Guinness Stout.

question of the return of Repre-
sentatives Burke and Martin for
another term in congress. They
should be returned, and we believe
they will be. South Dakota ex-
perimented once in sending mex
perienced men to congress in place
of the two men who are now filling
the places SO satisfactorily, and the
experience was one which thought
full voters will not care to repeat.
The west is wont to object, at
times, to the predominant influence
the east exercises upon public
affairs in the United States, yet the
west is too mach inclined to refuse
to profit by the lesson the example
of the east teaches. The casts
predominance Is due, more than
any other one thing, to the fact
that it selects good men for congress
and the senate, and then sends
them back, term after term, until
they develop into seasoned states
men. Martin and Burke have be-
come seasoned statesmen, wise be-
cause of native ability and legisla-
tive experience. They are of q
class of men calculated to add
prestige to the west in the national
councils of the country. South
Dakota was foolish enough, once,
to retire these two men for q term;
she will scarcely exhibit . similar
degree of folly again.
