Anyone who talked with business men Wednesday noted the satisfac- tion they expressed that the election contest hntween Silas P. Brand and Alfred St. fPeter had been settled by the city council, and there seemed to be a general satisfaction with the way it was decided, though people cared less about that than they did to have it decided and out of the way. Sensible, public-spirited cit. izens don’t like such things as elec- tion contests; they are likely to stir up lots of ‘bad blood, sour the peo- ple’s minds, split up the community into little cliques of the friends of this man and the friends of that man, and out of these grow petty feuds which only work harm. All these things good people dislike; hence ‘ they are glad the contest is decided. ‘ One word "more as to the contest it- 1 self and the way it was decided. Since the trial we have learned that the Supreme Court of Illinois a few weeks ago handed down a decision i in a similar case where pastors were 1 used; they decided that pasters de- .5 stroyed a ballot. that it made it null f and void. (because it destroyed the‘ secrecy of the ballot~the election ( judges as they put the ballot into 3 the box, just as Judge Dooley testi- fied, knew’ there wan a paster or something on the ballot. That was!“ exactly the point of Mr. Zook’s ar-id gument, the secrecy of the hallo i l was destroyed by the pasters, there- fore the Supremc Court says every ballot with a paster on it must be I thrown out. Hence everyone can 31 see how exactly and accurately our at city council hit the case when thevl Tam-n years ago we took up our residence in a little inland town “twelve miles from a railroad”, as some of our friends deeparingly said. In that pretty country village we re- member there was a little six or eight year old boy, shy, modest, i “towâ€"headed,” as the rustice termed light haired children, and not over robust, with a strong liking for his father, one of the finest spirited men we ever knew. Well, that “tow-head- ed” boy is the United States minister to Siam. President Cleveland ap. pointed him, and though there are scores of hungry Republican politic- ians who want his place, he is so good and eficient a man, that President McKinley iron’t remove him, and we are proud of our country boy, though he was brought up “tivelve miles from a railroad.” : Wan causes the dipping of the flag staff to the north by nor‘east 2’ Is it the sun, or the winds, or is it a longing for that Anglo-American al- liance. Mr. Balfour, the tory leader in the House of Commons says, there can be no written alliance for war purposes, but an arbitration treaty, which our Senate rejected, will be had and En alliance of senti- ment and purpose for the peace and prosperity and good of the world will behad. That. Mr. Balfour, is just what We wantand all the jingoes in the world can’t stop it. A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION. Lama B. Human, A. E. EVANS, - IE Advertising rue: and. known on application at this om“.

Nor is that all,there are men ready or they say they are and will do it, if this thing is stirred up, they will report the whole case to the state‘s attorney and insist on the matter go- 1ing before the grand jury for acourt trial. We don't know what could be made out aside from a lot ofexpense to some one, but our point isthe: nubluc don t want this thing, and if these folks ever want or expect any public favors in this city, they had better stop this turmoil; we have had enough of it already. MruSt Peter, and no one wants that. There will be other elections and il his friends want to elect him as al- derman, all right no one can object to that, but don’t kill him 08 in ad- vance now by such foolish conduct. Finally. the public is thorough- ly siick of the matter and want it to rest now. as the decision is legal and fair. Every attempt to stirit upauy more only makes the people disgust- ed wiith those who do it. and hurts Another thing. It is said the friends of Mr. St Peter talk of conâ€" testing the election on the ground ‘ that the polling place was not the ‘ legal size. Well suppose it was not: ' the election is over and past, and any : one familiar with the law and court decisions. even a little. knows that such a defect would not upset an election already held; if taken in time it could prevent one being held there. but not vitiate one already held. For that room to be fifteen feet in- stead of sixteen one way did not des- troy the secrecy of the ballot. or rob the voters of their choice. Such tech- nical defects do not render suchtran‘ sactions null and void, as any lawyer knows The courts will not allow the tights cfthe people tobejeopard- ized‘by such petty things, after an action is performed. Hence no legal process can put Mr. St Peter back in that aldermanic chair, and no legal process can now put Mr Brand out of it. for awarding to the last recent decision of the Supreme court. Mr. St Peter had 5 votes and Mr. Brand, 36 voteswthat settles it. Another Improvement in Tran Service M. W. MARVIN, County Supt rithrewf out all those 48 paster ballots mast fox-Mr. St. Peter, while they i counted for him where his name was i written in.
