.DEMOCRATIC CONSISTANCY. .
present incumbent held over under the
term of the Charter. This fan is on
a par with all the rest of the Democrat
ic procedure and should meet with the
treatment it' deserves at the hand of
th intelligent voter on 13th day of lVc.
cemWr. There are not lawyer enough
in town, nor hTd lore enough in the
ImhJca, to keep a Democrat from working
a political trick, if lie ha. the (.lightest
hope of it uw. Law anil precedent
are a nothing to them when it coiihh to
winning out at the poll, lint this one
time they are going to lie fooled.
The consumate ease with which th
Democratic politician can lay down hia
boastefl predilection, his avowed eon
clu&iona and pre-determlned confirma
tion on any given subject, for the sake
of hia political success, has a trenchant
exhibition in the reversal of the Com
mon Council in the matter of the Po
lios CommiKbion. When it became known
that the- Republicans vf going to
nominate two police commissioners, and
the demand was made on the City Audi
tor to place their names on the pri
mary ballot, there wa a big, official pro
tent from that officer, bucked by a fine
spun opinion from the City Attorney,
and triply bolstered by the opin
ions of three other Democratic, or
quasi Democratic lawyer, rehearsing
ih Ham, lot of reasons, all of
which th? city will have to pay for and
Uu same wa-s duly rertfd to the Coun
oil, approved and ordered filed. Then
the Republicans wvnt ahead and tnanda-
inud the Auditor and had the name of
Mr. Laws pktced ujkmi the primary tw-k-
et. This was the signal for u i liange
of heart in the lVinoeratic '-amp. Kwiy
man of them is now a firm udVi. nt
to the policy of putting up two candi
dates for the Commission and will man
damus Judge Anderson to have the
name of Jens Hansen put ujwn the
general election ballot. This was done
in direct opposition to the advice of
City Attorney Smith and three other
paid lawyers, denying the privilege to
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
Of course- there are eleven days In
which to register, yet. ami the duty is
better done late than never; but the
Republican who pa.Mrs it up to the
eleventh day is frittering away good
time in which to do a good service to
his party and the community. The way
to do it is to do it now, on the spot,
while you think of it. Then when elec
tion day rolls round you are not hamp
ered for time and with the onerous and
annoying task of doing something that
should have Iwen done when everything
wa. easy and simple. You will get
this hint every day, so you can thank
your own earelenet if you are up
against a denial of your franchise on
the 13th of next month.

SPINE IS CHILLED.
The plain truth lia. been told of tin
policy and the projected purpose of
the Democrat and their semi, demi.
allien, and it lia-s caused a protracted
chill to cha.se up and down their in
dividual and collective vertebrae. They
are out for a "wide open town," and the
revulsion of popular feeling in the mut
ter has superinduced a bad case of
shivers in the heterogenious camp. But
the freezing process is deferred fur
about thirteeu days yet The cold blast
of public disapproval is destined to leave
the leaders of the Citizens stiff with
chagrin; not with mortification, of
'course, for the Democrat-, are not con
versant with any such human mood
when it comes to polities.
0
STAND PAT.
Let no sort of argument induce you
to sacrifice a single name on the Re
publican ticket. There is the bet of ex
pediency, this year, in holding fast to
the uttermost man on that ballot. Any
concessions made to the Democrat, is
tantamount to an admivion of the wis
dom of their "wide open town" policy,
and even the breath of such an admis
sion is suicidal for the Republicans
Every man named by the party of de
cency and good order murt be elected
by a good majority, if for no other
rea.son than is afforded in the unequiv
ocal defeat of the nasty program to
open up the city again. But there is
the first and better reason that they
are all clean and capable men that mean
tfo preserve tie prenJt satjnfactiory
status of municipal moral integrity.
Stand pat for tlie ticket from top to
bottom and scrap the dirty issue from
future consideration by its overwhelm
ing route at this election.

LOCKS IT WILL BE.
A sea level canal at Panama will take
from eight to ten years longer to con
struct than a lock canal, and cot from
$73;0OO,(XX) to 123,000,)00 more. It
would result in ships saving five hours
time in passing from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and also save the expense
of operating the locks. The advantages
to to gained appear be trifling com
pared to the enormous increase in cost
and the Dostoonement for a decade of
a
the completion of the canal. The ex
pense of locking would be a mere baga
telle beside the annual interest charge
on $100,000,0(30 added investment, tor
the average ship, shortening the time
of passage through the canal from thir
teen to eight hours is not a saving of
vast importance. Therefore the argu
ment in behalf of a sea level canal lack
force, and seems largely in the nature
of sjs-ciul pleading for increased cost
and year of delay in construction.
