TWO MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS. The three councilmen to be elected this spring will hold office for four years, twice as long as a councilman's term has been heretofore. Consequently the voters should be more careful than usual to vote for a man who will represent their ideas on municipal matters. Two very important problems will have to be solved in the next four years and the three new councilmen will of course hold just half the power in deciding how they shall be solved. One is the question of a system of sewerage and the other is the question of buying the water plant, which according to the ordi nance, can be purchased at it its appraised value in 1895. If you want the present expensive and inefficient patch work of sewerage to grow more complicated and useless by reason of false notions of economy vote that way. If want the public health and convenience conserved by the construction of a system of sewerage don't vote until you are sure the man you vote for is of the same opinion. Sewerage and a municipal water plant are the coming city questions. The only way you can help decide them is to act before the convention. After the election they will be in the hands of the Council.
TUP. New York Sun, the ablest Dem ocratio paper in the country, like the New York H'orid, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Chicago Times, the Atlanta (.'(institution and others of the faith, condemns: the McCreary whitewash resolutions in no uncertain tone. It says:
To upright arid patriotic (Democrats, who believe that -not their party but the President should be held responsible for the policy of infamy, it is a grievous thing to -read the resolution reported by Mr. McCreary from tli6 Committee on Foreign Affairs to the House of Representatives. It asserts what, in the absence of a thorough and impartial investigation, it has no right to assert: and it leaves unsaid what the country expected it to utter. Whatever may be the fate of this doubly wrongful resolution, he who offered it and they who vote for it will be summoned to a day of reckoning by the people whose indignant protests they let pass unheeded, and whose interests they betray.
COMMENTING on the McCreary resolu tions as passed by the House, which condemn interference in Hawaiian affairs and praise what they condemn, the Chicago Inter Ocom says
The resolutions as passed scold away vigorously at ex-Minister Stevens and ex-Pvesident Harrison, especially the former, seeming to take especial delight in berating them for what they did about a year ago. It is evident that the resolutions reflect the angry mood of the President and liis Secretary of State. They have at last found out that what was done last winter cannot be undone that the so*.! -'republicanism sown in Hawaii became almost instantly a deep-rooted tree, which the President and his choppers could not cut down or even trim off. There it stands with all its green leaves thick upon it, showing no marks of the ax. All the silly cuckoos can do is to sit on the boughs and hoot.
IT would seem that Harpers Weekly is becoming very tired of Democracy, whose flag it has been following since 1884. It says: "The people are growing weary of the Democratic party. They are out of patience with it because of its inefficiency, its cowardice, its lack of principle and consistency, its imbecility. It would seem as though it had become so habituated to cringe before a Republican majority, abandon principle and honor, to cure by cunning what it dare openly fight for, that, now in the day when it is in power in both the execu tive and legislative branches of the government, it still cringes before the threats, and it is still afraid of taunts of its opponents."

MEN AND THEIR MONEY.
Ton Cn Judge OkiiMtor by the W»? Cash I* Carried. It you want to know something about a man's character, watch how ha handles hit manor. The generous, careless man carries hit money loose In his pooket—copper, silver and fold all mixed up together—and when he is going to pay for anything he takes out a handful and picks out the amount he requires, aays the St. Louis Post-Dls-patoh. He seems to have no fear of robbery, for he is of a trustful disposition, and, being perfectly honest himself, thinks most others must be like him.
Of course, he to often cheated and imposed upon, yet he never entirely loses his faith in his fellow creatures. A fine nature is his—in fact, too fine to cope with the many groedy, grasping mortals that'flood the world.' The man who, if he has to pay a few pence, won't even take the trouble of counting out the amount of coppers, bnt mrowi down a piece of silver to be •hanged—and by the by he rarely counts his ohange—Is a type of "a fool and his money are soon parted." Perhaps a love of display, almost Inseparable from such a charcter, has something to do with this.
A careful m*c always carries a purse and keeps the fold, silver and copper in different compartments. A man like this never wastes his money. He values it as it ought to be valued, and, though not niggardly, is determined to have his money's worth. He quite believes that "any fool can make money, but it takes a wise man to keep it," and he is right. •he mean man never lets you see what money he has. When he is going to pay for anything he turns his back to yon, clutches his money tight, and, so to say, draws it out of his hand, plaoing the coins down one by one, for he is loth to part with them, even for necessities. Such a man is not far removed from a miser, who rarely carries money about his person at all, unless it be sewn up in his olothes.
Remember, the man who jingles his money in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred hasn't got much. A bunch of keys and a few coppers make a good deal of noise.
FATHER WINTER."
A Character Who Until Knntlf Adorned Freaeh Legislative Halla. The French ohamber of deputies has lost an original character in the person of M. de Oaste, deputy for Brest, aays the London Globe. He was a simple, honest fellow, and enjoyed the esteem not only of his oolleagues of the left but also of his adversaries on the right. He made himself celebrated by his everlasting fur coat, which he wore in all seasons, and which earned for him the name of "Pere Hiver." He was likewise irreverently called "L'HommeOhien," on aooount of his shaggy hair and whiskers which he allowed togrow in wild profusion and made him look like a Skye terrier. His umbrella, his hat and particularly the cut of his clothes also rendered him famous. His colleagues smiled, but liked him none the leas for his eccentricities. He had one great day in the chamber, when as doyen d'age in the place of M. Pierre Blanc, who was unwell, he presided over the first sitting of the session. On that occasion he delivered a speech in whieh ha embraced every political question under the sun, and might have gone on occupying the house till doomsday had he not found it suddenly empty. He was most assiduous, arriving the first and leaving the last. He was born in 1811, and was originally a civil engineer of the first class. Unlike most of his republican colleagues, he waa a staunch Catholic. Every day as regular as olockworkie would mount the tribune andbrlngjforward some unexpected motion which, much to his sorrow, waa invariably shelved. Once, however, his motion was passed, and nobody was more surprised than himsell: Of later years he took to female emancipation, and attended the meetings of the strong-minded sisterhood, to which two of his daughters belong. At home in his native Brittany he was beloved by all for his generosity and the pleasure he took in doing service to his fellow-countrymen. His curious figure will long be remembered.
RACE TRACK GAMBLING.
The Sharp ProfeMloaal Bookmaker Can Afford to l*«|h at Chanoe. In a new book called ."Chance and Luck," made up of essays by the lat* Richard A. Proctor, the subject of racetrack gambling is discussed in a very interesting way. He shows, clearly enough, that any man who follows the races for a livelihood, unless he is a professional bookmaker, Is perfectly certain of bitter disappointments. Many gamblers have_systems, but Prof. Proctor, who was a mathematician, demonstrates how misleading is any system of chances. For a lucrative praotioe of the bookmaker's calling, the first rule, according to Prof. Proctor, is always to lay odds against horses, never to back them. Next, he should make his wagers against every horse in the race as early as possible when the odds are longest. "If he lays against a few which are certain not to run, so much the better for him that is so much clear gain to start with. He should proportion his wagers so that the sum of what he lays against a horse and what he is backed for may amount to about the same for each horse. The precise system requires that it Bhould be exactly the same, but the bookmaker often improves upon that, by taking advantage in special cases of his own knowledge of a horse's chance and of his opponent's inexperience. In every case he lays odds a point or two short of the legitimate odds against a horse. When his book has been made up upon these principles, the bookmaker can watch the race with perfect calmness." If he follows this course he. cannot fail to gain a steady income from his victims, whereas, the fellow who goes into the betting ring, if he continue patiently in hia course, is likely to learn before long how it is that the bookmakers make so much money.

If you are thinking out buying a plaster, remember that you will place it upon your body and cannot get a plaster that will be too good for you.
Allcock's Porous plaster is the best plaster made. Your druggist may haye some other plaster on his shelves which he is anxious to get rid of, or else some worthless imitation purchased at a low price for the purpose of substitution. Do not accept his "Just as good" plea, insist upon having the genuine. Allcock's Porous Plaster has no equal.
Brandreth's Pills can always be relied upon.

Mr. Albert Favorite, of Arkansas City, Kan., wishes to give our readers the benefit of his experience with colds. He says: "I contracted a cold early last spring that settled on my lungs, and had hardly recovered from it when I caught another that hung on all summer and left me with a hacking cough which I thought I would never get rid of. I had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some fourteen years ago with much success, and concluded to try it again. When I had got through with one bottle my cough had left me, and I have not suffered with a cough or cold since. I have recommended it to others, and all speak well of it." 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, 111 north Washington street, opposite court house.

For the relief and cure of a cold in the head there is more potency in Ely's Cream Balm than in anything else it is possible to prescribe. This preparation has for years past been making a brilliant success as a remedy for cold in the head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in the initial stages of those complaints Cream Balm prevents any serious development of the symptoms, while numberless cases are on record of radical cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever, after all other treatments have proved of no avail.

He was much pleased with it, and felt sure that others "Similarly afflicted would like to know, what cured him. He states for the benefit of the public that it is called Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

Reactionary storms will be central on the 8d and 3d, and the moon Will be new on the 5th. This will cause a continuation of clondiness, with rain, sleet a'nd snow, through most of the intervening time from the 7th to 11th. Heavy rains with thunder and light1 ning, turning to destructive sleet and snow storms, may be expected during these disturbances. The reactionary disturbances, due on the 2d and 3d, will not likely be reaohed until about •the 5th. A sweeping cold wave will separate these perturbations from the disturbances of the period beginning about the 7th, but it will soon give place to storm conditions, and during the 7th to 11th, storms of rain and snow will visit all parts of the coun-,
