k'pt by Magistrate; another OF thes
gentlemen represented the city in the
Legislature and his Ward in the Board of
Education. Tohave majority over all OF
these gentlemen combined ought of itself
TO be recommendation enough, and we
thought so; and did not "laud" Mr. ALI
mond. But we may say that we have
known him from boy; we have witness
ed his untiring efforts to make living
for his family and educate his children,
and we have deeply sympathized with
him. Like most of us he has had his
seasons of ailliction and at one time was
almost ready to succumb to the combined
influence of an insdious disease and the
difficulties that beset him. But the same
manly spirit that has always come to his
aid, helped him to overcome disease ana
led him to the success which enabled the
Republican on the 18th to say he had
risen to be one of our "Soltid business
men and leading citizens"


Again it may be noted that Mr.. ALI
mond's vote at the nomination prepond-
Grated in the upper districts Of the city,
where there were very few drinking sa-
looms and in most of the districts none at
all. Now we do not mean to ''laud" Mr..
Almond. We have no interest in the cleo
tion of the Mayor; as we said before it is
not political Office, and We only wish
that good and true man may be put in
the position. If we did not believe Mr..
Almond the best man for the position we
would not at this time advocate his cleo
ton. lie has always been kind and con-
siderate to the poor; he has been staunch
friend of our holy religion and ought to
be one Of its shining lights. lie has
always done anything and everything in
his power to benefit our city and purify

been member of most of our beneficial

Grand Lodge of the Masonic fraternity
for many years, reelected annually; and
no man has been able to lay aught to his
charge. Can such man as this, one OF
our own boys, be injured by the traduce
heaped upon him. because the people, by
their votes, call him from his business,
which he has faithfully and honorably
pursued, to preside ever the city as their
chief officer? We think not. Mr.. All

If the few gentlemen who have been
talking very freely about the GAZETTE
will take the trouble to look back over
its course, they wall find that its political
status has never been dictated by any
gentleman. 1t has never been a personal
organ for any one, and no one will ad-
vance such an idea. But it has always
felt an honor in bowling to the will of
the majority of its party, properly ex-
pressed, because it holds that the two
great political parties are patriotic" bod
les, and their efforts are the efforts of a
patriotic people to govern themselves.
If this is not the case then there is no
use of parties. And it is a fair presrunp-
ton that the oftice-holder who sustains
newspapers, the aim of which is to break
down parties, Is neither good party
man nor patriotic citizen.

1t is an indubitable result of the theory of
probabilities that every gambler, if he con-
tinues long enough, must ultimately be ruined.
Suppose he tries the martingale, which some
believe infallible, and which is, as l am in
formed, disallowed in the gambling houses.
In this method of playing he first bets say ST.
if he loses it, he bets So; if he loses that, he
bets '$4; if he loses that he bets So; if he
then gains, he has lost plus 2 plus equal
Z, and he has gained 81 more; and no mat
ter how many bets he loses, the first one he
gains will make him 81 richer than he was
in the beginning. In that way he will prob
ably gain at first; but at last the time will
come when the run of luck is so against him
that he will not have nancy enough to double,
and must therefore let his bet go. This will
probably happen before he has won as much
as he had in the first place, so that this run
will leave him poorer than he began; some
time or other it will be SIRE to happen. 1t is
true that there is always possibility of his
winning any sum the bank can pay, and we
thus come upon celebrated paradox that,
though he is certain to be ruined, the value
of his expectation, calculated according to
the usual rules (Which omit this considera-
tion) is large. But, whether gambler plays
in this way or any other; the same thing Is
true, namely, that if he plays long enough he
Wills be sure some time to have such run
against him as to exhaust his entire fortune.

1t is scarcely necessary to remind reason
able men that if they wish to be sad and
sour, to grumble and complain, there is al

right, you may he sure there is always some
thing else going wrong; and if one thing is in

A PASTE THAT WILL KEEP WELL
A correspondent of the Druggists Cir
cular gives this formula for a non-pOis-
onous paste that will keep well in hot
weather: Wheat flour, one ounce !;
powdered alum, One-half drachm; water
sufficient, or eight ounces oil of Glove,
or wintergreen, three OF four drops.
Rub the flour and the alum with the
water to the consistence of milk place
this over moderate fire, and stir con-
stantlv, until the paste drops from the
wooden paddle in jelly-like flakes and
has the appearance of glycerite of starch.
While the mass is still hot, add the es-
sential oil, and pour the paste into an
earthen-ware pot or open jar. In the
course of about an hour a crust forms
on the top; pour gently on this an inch
of water, more or less. When some
paste is wanted, decant the water, take
out the quantity needed, and put some
water again on the remainder, repeat
ing the operation each time. Paste may
be kept in this way for months, and
will never be troubled with flies.

the bill reported by the Railroad

that of the Judiciary committee pro-
posed to establish sinking fund at the

of power on the part of Congress was
not only unauthorized by the constitu-

of the great purposes for which the
government was instituted.


Beck said the Government would not
get its money unless some means should

said Congress could not protect the

stockholders a single right they were

The latest solution offered of the Indian
problem is the transfer of vagrant and
misbehaving bands to the Santa Ban bara
Islands, off the coast of California. They
are said to be large enough to hold 10000
Indians and to furnish sustenance to all
them for few yeais A small gunboat or
two is to be kept constantly cruising around
these islands, not only to- prevent escape,
but to prevent traders from supplying the
exiles and captives with rum and improved
firearms. When the Indians are removed
to Santa Barbara they will be about as far
West as we can well get them. If crowded
further, they must be driven into the ocean.
One may imagine circumstances in which,
if this plan were carried out, it would be
unpleasant for the whites on Santa Barbara
Island. When the Indians on reserva-
tion cannot get enough to eat, either
through insufficient appropriations or mis-
appropriations, they go on buffalo hunt
or on the War-path. Their former resource
would be denied them when cooped up on
an island, and the latter alternati would
be more frequently sorted to. AS they
would be denied the privilege they now
enjey of marching OF er thousands of miles

would be bestowed on the white men dwell
