a a a a I 1 ceeds Lord Salisbury ag head of the British ministry will be regarded with general satisfaction outside the British empire, and very generally within its limits. The most serious criticism that has been made against Mr. Balfour is that he is too easy going and indolent, although the latter charge can have but little real foundation. Mr. Chamberlain is regarded as too "perniciously active" for a safe head of government.
He has been dangerously indiscreet in public utterance. More than once it has required the diplomatic skill of Lord Salisbury to reassure foreign chancellories and the semi-jocose eloquence of Mr. Balfour to sooth business nervousness caused by Mr. Chamberlain's blunt statements or caustic comments. Do Not Change Municipal Elections.
Ci 1 in 1885 changed the time of election second 'Tuesday in October to the Tuesday first Monday in November, to conform to the States law designed to secure, as far as Ft uniform date for the election of members gress. Provision was also made for the election ship officers, the time fixed being the first 1n. April. Nothing was said about some When the legislature assembles in special session, for the organization of cities and provide corporated villages," it will be prudent to keep watch for schemes to change the 1 time of election as well as the system of government. The constitution fixed a time for the election of rembers of the general assembly and state officials, aiso leaving no discretion to the legislature.
It provided for the election of county officers on the same day as the election of state officials and members of the general assembly, "until otherwise directed by law." A constitutional amendment adopt- being "directed by law." No allusion was made in the constitution to a date for holding elections in municipalities. Recognition of their existence was confined to a single section of Article XIII, which says: "The general assembly shall provide for the organization of cities, ANG incorporated villages, by general laws, and restrict their power of taxation, assessment, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, so as to prevent the abuse of such power." Subject to the limitation that the legislation must be general- limitation unfortunately disregarded in the act of May 3, 1852, and more and more flagrantly violated in subsequent legislation regarding municipalities--the general assembly is by this section given absolute power over the organization and government of cities and villages. It was by act of the legislature, and not by constitutional provision, that the time of holding municipal elections was fixed for the first Monday in April. It requires no constitutional amendment to change that date. The legislature at its coming session can do it by a single sentence in the proposed new act "to provide for the' organization of cities and incorporated villages." Unless close watch is kept, and public sentiment aroused on the subject, the change may be inade.
The growing independence of voters in municipal elections, especially in the larger cities, troubles partisan politicians. They have seen with apprehension voters breaking down party fences in the spring elections and voting for city officials on the ground of merit and capability, without regard to the party column in which the candidate's name appears. They fear, and not without cause, the contagious nature of independent voting. It has more and more manifested its power to survive the summer heats, and the independent epidemic of April has reappeared in November, with as fatal results to county candidates in that month as to city candidates in the spring. They affect: a dread, if they do not really feel it, that the state and national tickets may in time succumb if the "independent" discase be not promptly checked.
The way to do this is by combining municipal, county and state clections, and adding congressional and national elections at the regular intervals. The argument which has been, and will be made to the general public is that there are now too many elections. To abolish the spring elections will, it Is claimed, be a saving of money, time, and interruption to business. This, it is pointed out to the business man, workingman and taxpayer will be an important advantage. To the partisan another, and more telling, argument is made.
By holding all the elections at once, and placing the party candidates, from presidential electors or governor to councilman and member of the school council, on the same ticket, personal and local issues will be confused with national, the full vote called out, and the very length of the ticket will furnish a powerful argilment for putting the cross under the party emblem instead of picking out individuals for approval or rejection. There is a real danger of this being done unless the people are alert in watchfulness and vigorous in condemnation'. It is hardly necessary to say that such a reaction from independence to blind partisanism has small sympathy among the people outside of the hide bound or self-seeking partisan politicians. The feeling that municipal affairs should be as much as possible separated from partisan politics has taken firm hold and is daily growing stronger. To abolish spring elections might effect a saving of expense and bother, but the loss in other ways would far outweigh that gain.
Keep municipal elections apart from state and national elections. There is a good deal of suffering in Boston over the brief heated term, and one of the Boston jourpals calls attention to this special example of its baleful effects. A Boston newspaper man, while hovering on the verge of heat demoralization, asked the following conundrum: "Why does a chorus girl suggest a hospital ward for patients of a violent mental twist?" Eh, you don't mean to say that you have forgotten the moth eaten answer? "Because she's a padded cell," of course. New York and Philadelphia are squabbling just now over which town possesses "America's fastest author." Philadelphia has a romancer who has turned out 433.500 words in seven months, while New York brings forward a "lady novelist" with the record of having "done" in the same period 660,000 words. Oh, Literature, what crimes are committed in thy name! A census bulletin lets us into certain interesting particulars concerning the number of pins annually produced in this country.
From it we learn that the share of each man, woman and child is nearly a gross. It is a pretty safe proposition, however, to venture the assertion that the man of the household falls a good deal short of his legitimate proportion. Mr. Morgan claims that poker is not typical American game. This isn't a prejudiced opinion, based upon unpleasant experiences.
Mr. Morgan no doubt would prove a good loser, although losing might not come natural to him, and his personal TUESDAY. JULY 15, 1902. CLEVELANE DEALER, experiences of the game have nothing to do with the case. He bases his disapproving views on the fact that poker is not a scientific sport, nor one that requires any degreo of skill.
The player who practices the most deceit and puts up the biggest bluff is the best player, and bluffing and deception are not American by any means. Mr. Morgan seems to be about right. If Outlaw Tracey is lucky enough to be alive after his captors get through with him, what 8 lot flowers and delicacies he can count on from the admiring Oregon women. He is just the sort of scallawag to appeal to the unbalanced feminine heart.
Or, as the Boston Herald puts it, the ladies always like a man who is hard to catoh. A Daniel on the St. Louis bench recently handed down a decision to the effect that a dog whose tail was being adorned with a tin kettle was entirely justified in biting the boy who was doing the adorning. It is a pity that this precedent cannot brought to the attention of every boy and dog throughout the nation. President Harper has come to the conclusion that there is altogether too much sensationalism among his college professors.
But dare he curb the epidemic? Just think what a roasting Patron Rockefeller would get as an enemy of free speech, if college president attempted to cut off the sensation mongers! Contrary to some expectations, Gen. Kitchener openly admits that the credit for bringing about peace negotiations is due to the men behind guns. No doubt the grim general isn't half martinet that he looks.

It is stated that a 5-cent cigar has been named for that ardent child of genius, Mary MacLane. course, it is to be lighted with a brimstone match. The college "goodies" will probably take comfort in the statement that when Premier Balfour was Cambridge they called him "Aunt Clara." The last of the Victorian statesmen steps down and out, and a younger generation takes the helm and trims the sails.

It depends, George, it depends. If your idea of a gentleman is a biped who poses as a tailor's dummy, then we doubt if the imitation Panama would be in harmony with the rest of the trousseau. That sort of a gentleman would probably wear a real Panama, even it he had to owe for it. But, happily, a gentleman isn't always known by the tailors he keeps. When you hear a man spoken of as an exquisite dresser, you may largely make up your mind, Gorge, that there wouldn't be much that was palatable about him if it wasn't for the dressing.
From all of which we may conclude that the qualities that go to the making of a real gentleman cannot be affected by external imitations.

A young man of bright prospects had just reached the momentous question, and a ready and frequently-rehearsed "yes" was trembling on the lips of the maiden, when a meddlesome June bug banged itself into the young man's ear.

You bluntly inquire. "How much hay can an elephant eat?" You don't say 8. baby elephant, nor a half grown elephant. It is simply any old elephant. as it wore.
Nor do you discriminate in the quality of the hay. And yet you ought to know. Rube, that some hay is much more filling than hay that isn't so much so. And baled hay ought to pack tighter than the ordinary fluffy sort. if there i is anything in appearances.
But no doubt it is largely a matter of elephants. If you study the habits of the wild pachyderm you will find that he has no particular use for hay. He browses around on tender twigs and jungle grass. and it's doubtful it he would know hay it ho saw it. It is the elephant in captivity who gets the hay habit.
He eats it because be can't anything else to eat. It's one course or nothing with him. If he wants to keep the big wrinkles out of his tough epidermis he must distend it with hay. But. 88 has before been mentioned, the amount required depends ou the elephantine upholsterer himself.

MANIIATTAN BEACH -Bostock's Trained Animals. Those Hopi Inscriptions. Certain anthropologists have met with a grievous disappointment. For years they have been engaged iu an effort to decipher the curious Hopi hieroglyphics. These inscriptions on the adobe homes of the quaint and interesting Hopi tribe, were believed to carry information of a most valuable char-1 acter---from the anthropological standpoint.
So the savants perused, and pondered, and grew more and more perplexed. Photography was called in, and all the codes of sign writing were eagerly, but unavailingly, applied to the pursuit. And now, alas, the whole game comes to naught. For it appears to be an accepted explanation that the mysterious inscriptions are merely scratches on the soft mud of the adobe homes before it had time to harden, made by the mischievous Hopi children. This is unpleasant, but the patience of scientific investigators is occasionally put to just such humiliating tests.
Who knows but that in the years to come some scientific cipher reader of the future way believe he has found an interesting human document in the foot. prints of a predatory 'hen who bas happened to leave her telltale tracks on the surface of a section of cement sidewalk? The British Ministerial Changes. The retirement of the Marquis of Salisbury from the British premiership was not unexpected. It had been predicted as certain to take place immediately after the date set for the coronation, the desire of the marquis to withdraw from public life as speedily as practicable having been long known. The announcement yesterday that Sir Michael HicksReach would also resign from the government, after a long service as chancellor of the exchequer, was received by his colleagues with surprise, although it could scarcely have been expected that he would remain long after the retirement of his political chief.
"The chancellor of the exchequer has been in continual disagreement with some other members of the government, and particularly with Mr. Chamberlain, since the beginning of the south African difficulties. He was understood to have differed with the secretary for the colonies on nearly every question concerning that war, and it was with extreme reluctance that he consented to provide means for effectively carrying it on. On several occasions he indicated unmistakably his distrust of Mr. Chamberlain's statesmanship.
Regard for the premier, with the diplomacy of the premier's nephew, who has succeeded to the premiership, alone prevented an open breach and the retirement of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach on more than one occasion. His retirement now will not be regretted by one faction of the party, while another faction would have much preferred the withdrawal of Joseph Chamberlain, who has never been trusted by them since be turned against his former chief, the Grand Old Man of the Liberty party, and sought to win approval from his new associates by bitterly assailing the statesman who had fostered and trusted him. It was believed that when Lord Salisbury surrendered the leadership of the Conservative party, Chamberlain would strive to push Balfour aside and seize the reins of power. But "Brummagem Joe," as he was nicknamed in his days of early struggles for recognition, is astute as well as pushing. He knows he has not yet gained the full confidence of the Conservatives and would have come off second best in a conflict with "the nephew his uncle," who has the prestige of a great house as well as party traditions in his favor.
Besides, he and Balfour are strong personal friends. Before the heir to the premiership entered into his political estate he sought out Chamberlain and received from him a pledge of cordial approval and hearty support, pledge that was yesterday publicly repeated in his father's behalf by Joseph Chamberlain's son. After that but one course was open to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, and he promptly took it. Premier Balfour earnestly desired his stay, but, while pledging hearty support as an individual to Mr. Balfour's administration, his purpose to leave it was declared Irrevocable.

It he steals the baby, we don't. If the man is killed, he must look to the life insurance companies, not to us." Insuring Against Appendicitis, Quite a number of policies are being taken out in the health insurance companies.

I know a man who was protected for a year agairst typhoid fever, appendicitis, consumption, smallpox, and a lot of the big things. During that period he had the mumps once, a low gastrio fever, and two oases of colic. not one of which was mentioned in the policy. Passing of the Colored Waiter.
A fact that is impressed upon the frequent visitor to New York hotels and restaurants is that the colored waiter is growing to be a thing of the past. With the colored butler and the colored coachman in private families, he 1g wellobsoleto. Why this is Is not so easy to answer. colored waiter always gave good service, was always respectfully obliging, nearly always cheerful and, pleasant. man that bas replaced him combines these necessary qualities about one time five.
Watch the French waiters at The Waldorf, or The Holland, or The Savoy. They the perfection of quiet service, it true. As waiters, they are admirable. As human beings, they do not impress one. They seem wooden.
They take an interest in A prospective tip and in that alone. The colored man, also, took vivid interest in what was coming him, but meanwhile he displayed some feeling during the ordering of dinner; took his particular table under his wing; became, for the time being, your devoted servant. And then the white waiters are not always the perfection of service. At a cent woman's club luncheon, which was given at one of the smaller' hotels, the manners of the waiters savored strongly the husky etiquette of a Bowery soup kitchen. One came along, carrying upon side.
He set it down upon the table with tray a coffee urn and a teapot, side thud. "What'll you have?" he growled. "Tea coffee?" The women on either side of him looked each other and raised their eyebrows. "Takes you back to Grand street, does not?" queried one. "Gives you a sort lonesome feeling." Then they both garded the man calmly.
He had the grace to blush, but grinned a little also. He knew well enough what they objected to, but he was not alarmed or iu fact put out in least. And this is a true story. course, such conduct would not tolerated for a moment in a first-class club or hotel, but those women were paying a good price for a luncheon at a good hotel and they expected good service. I confess that there is a homelike feeling about the dining room of The Arlington, in Washington, and I confess that, spite of their faults, the colored waiters, in many respects, are preferable to sleek French or robust Germans.
But for New York they are not wanted. In the future they must more and more find their engagements in summer hotels at the seashore and In the hotels Washington and the south; and even Washington the newest and Anest hotel filled with French waiters. Horse Colleges. That predominating influence among horseless carriages, the Automobile of America, is to become sponsor for school for horses, or rather a series schools. There is to be no general curriculum for equines, but the education is be confined to one branch.
To teach country horses to remain placid and dismayed, even when a score of white ghosts and red devils and other automobile monsters go smashing and shrieking by. The attitude of the farmers in the country round about New York city and Jersey has shown the automobilist something must be done. or either horses or the machines will bave to a permanent right of way. The governors of the club have held meeting, at which it was decided to institute a movement throughout the country for the opening of such schools. president of the club, Albert P.
Shattuck, has already started one at Lenox, and other prominent automobilist is running one at Long Branch. A machine is erated in the public square or some public place, and horse owners are quested to bring their horses around teach them to face 3. machine without fright. 4 Hats Given Away.
