ing their clothing to the exigencies OF
business and social life, and further
more, as a rule, the Intelligent women
Of this time are abundantly able and
willing to attend TO their own business
and let the men attend to theirs. The
days when, as was done IN Puritan Eng
land, the law prescribed just how long
a man should wear his hair or what
kind Of a frock woman should wear
in public, has happily passed.
Public opinion and private necessity
are the best arbiters as TO what people
should eat and drink and wherewithal
they should be clothed. The harem
skirt may be an abomination, but if II
is it will go the way of other foolish
fashions without any aid from law
makers who ought to be in better bust
ness because there is plenty of better
business for them 10 attend TO.

Let the People Be the Judges.

Let the People Be the Judges.
If some of the people who have
been writing communications to The
Argus demanding that it engage in
a campaign of denunciation Of May
or McCaskrin, will turn out and vote
tomorrow and vote for Schriver they
attain much better than could be
accomplished by the method they
suggest. The Argus is speaking only
for itself. It's position is well known,
but it may be we'll to recall that
some years ago when The Argus as
a result of having taken exception
TO the way Mayor McCaskrin con-
Quoted the affairs of the city under
his first administration. got into a con-
troversy with him that developed I'M
fortunately in bitterness and contin-
ued until his defeat, he repeatedly
charged The Argus with persecution
and when he ran again there were
those who seemed inclined to sympa-
thiZe with him. The Argus has en-
deavored during the pr.sent CAM
paign to prove that it has no per-
sonaI fight with Mr.. McCaskrin and
notwithstanding that it does not ap-
prove of his administration, for rea-
sons that are obvious. and is com
mitted to the candidacy Of H. NJ.
Schriver, 1t has endeavored in every
discussion where it has involved the
mayors name to be fair and to give
him full credit for every good work
that he may have accomplished.
While Mayor NcCaskrin has
charged The Argus with being con-
nected with a newspaper trust" to
destroy him politically, it has pre-
ferred rather than to indulge in per-
sonalities to put the entire issue in
voIving the mayoralty up to the peo-
pie to decide.
They are the judges.

One evening in the early part of the
last century man alighted from the
daily mail coach before the Royal
Arms. in Londonderry, ireland. The
porter took down large trunk, or,
rather, ironbound box such as was
frequently used by travellers in those
days, and carried it into the inn.
The man was dressed in the costume
of the period-a beaver hat, the crown
sIoping toward the top; 'spiketail"
green coat, with snuff colored knee
breeches,, ruff1ed shirt and shoes with
silver buckles. His face was clearly
shaven.
The stranger entered his name as Al
gernon Perkins and was assigned to
room No. &c, On the second floor.
Drawing out his wallet, he counted out
100 sovereigns $500 and deposited
them with the landlord for safe keep
ing. He then went to his room, order
ing his supper to be sent up to him.
About 10 o'clock the same night q
man with a fiery red beard, a beaver
bell crown hat, buff coat with flow
ing skirt and trousers, recently in
fashion, tight to the skin and strapped
over his instep, entered the same inn,
gave his name as David Brough and
called for a room.
Il should like my old rooms" he
said, Nos. % and 90"
The landlord failed to remember the
man, but, not caring to admit the fact,
told him that No. % was occupied,
but % was vacant. With an express
sion of dissatisfaction at not getting
both rooms he accepted the substitute
Then he went upstairs.
Later Mr.. Brough in his nightshirt
opened his door, called a porter who
was passing through the hall, slipped
a half sovereign into his hand and
said to him:
I'm to go off in the Royal mail ear
ly in the morning and wish my trunk
to be ready TO lift on to the coach.
Carry it down and leave it in the hall
below, near the front door"
The porter pocketed the tip, car
ried the trunk downstairs and placed
II beside the front door. The landlord,
who was nodding behind the bar,
reused himself and asked what he was
doing. The porter told him that
gentleman who was going early in the
morning had ordered him to place the
trunk where 1T would be ready The
landlord soon after took up a candle
and went to his rooms.
AT 3 o'clock in the morning a milk
man, stopping at the Royal Arms TO
deliver milk, saw a man with red
beard emerge from the front door Of
the inn carrying a heavy trunk under
the weight of which he staggered and
pass down the street. The mflkman
delivered the inns morning supply of
milk and drove away, thinking no
more of the matter.
At 10 o'clock the same morning a
heusemaid reported to the landlord
that the gentleman in rs had not left
his room; that she had listened at the
door without hearing any sound. and
she believed the room was vacant. The
landlord went to the room with her,
knocked and, receiving no reply, kick /
I'd open the door.
The room was found vacant and in /
confusion. 1t communicated with No. |
IS, that had been taken by Mr.. Brough. |
Ind as no one remembered TO have l
;een that gentleman since the night 4
before the landlord tapped on the door /

Some Crank Legislation.

From the time OF the "bloomer''
of q generation or more ago and for
many years before a certain kind OF
men have taken 1t upon themselves
TO attempt TO regulate the wearing

MunicipaI Statistics.

+ Doubtless one reason for the tremen-
and municipal Indebtedness in the
United States arises from the almost
total lack OF accurate knowledge of the
detail of the cost. The taxpayers are
at fixed times furnished with a state
ment of aggregates of revenue and of
items of expenditure; but there is no
advertised census of officials, retain
ers, subordinates. sinecurists and pen
sioners. The money goes as fast as it
can be gathered in or borrowed, but
where and whittier? No man can tell.
1t is this absence of proper statistical
knowledge that leads to a defeat of
popular government and the introduc-
ton of commission government. The
greater cities in the United States col
lect and disburse for public purposes
more money than the states in which
they are located. They also have a
greater number of paid officials; but
only the political managers could give
forth an accurate roll call. The great
er the popular ignorance the greater
the opportunity of graft.
The chief object of the commission
form of government is to so concen-
trate the control OF public affairs, and
to so systematic the conduct of NUM-
cipal business that the public may be
familiar day by day with every trans
action. Popular ignorance thus done
away with, the opportunities for graft
are minimized if not eliminated-pro-
vided. however, the right kind of men
are elected to the commission.
