are glad to learn that Mr. J. C. Frost, of this place, has secured a patent on an apparatus for casing tobacco which bids fair to supercede everything yet made or invented for that purpose, as it does all smoother caser does and much more. To be brief, it removes all grit and other foreign matter from the tobacco before applying the casing solution, which it then applies on all sides of the tobacco at the same time, and in any amount desired.

This cleaning the tobacco and cooking the licorice is that much more than any other caser attempts. We learn that a stock company with a capital of $150,000 has been organized to make and operate one caser that does not claim to do what Mr. Frost's caser does, and we trust his will receive the attention that its merit deserves, and that if he desires to organize a company to push it he will not have to go away from home to do so. hand their names to the secretary and meet with the society next.Tnesday evening.

The sentiment of the meeting Tuesday night, so far as it was expressed, was favorable to the graded school idea. The bill makes it mandatory upon the board of aldermen to order an election upon the question within six months, and the committee last named was further directed to wait upon the board and request it to order the election for the firstMonday in day of the municipal election.

Changes will take place and i proper that every one who has thi good of our town at heart should ei rt himself in selecting the best men or aldermen. We need for aldermen men who represent the commercia and manufacturing interests of our city, men who will support the mayor in his efforts to build it up. Without amended charter our city needs for aldermen for the next two years enterprising, 'active, practical business who have the ability for a judicious system of public with practical experience, nerve and independence to move on to successful results.

The members of the-board of aldermen should be men who have the confidence of the public then their actions will be supported by all classes and the people will bear taxation more cheerfully.

He went over the lauds yesterday afternoon and expressed high approbation of them, remarking the ease and cheapness with which they can be platted and streets be expected. There is and must be a bright future before us, if we use it properly. Let us have, in the city graded schools, public buildings for the same, improved streets and water works. An electric light plant we have let us have an electric street railway.

To carry out the. plans of improvement that have been or might be suggested will require quite a sum of money. This should not be raised by direct taxation, but by issuing bonds and devoting the proceeds of the sales of the bonds to this purpose. The credit of the city is good. We can float a bonded debt at a low rate of interest.

Why not get the benefit of our credit and convert it into-ready capital as maybe needed from time to time? The city would at once get the benefit to be derived. To levy high taxes and pay as they go is a thing of the past, and is exceedingly burdensome upon the people. Float a debt; push on with solid improvements develop our city.

Let us get out of the old ruts; we have been old fogies too long. We have but to try, with the right men at the head to preserve the peace and dignity of our city and to carry out to success the needed enterprises. Let the mayor and his board enter into negotiations for buying a nice plat of land for a grand park have it improved, orna-1 meuted and beautified; new streets laid off and opened out and graded so as to bring new property into market as building lots. The increase in tho value of the property for taxation will ielp, and the per centage of taxation would not be increased. As streets are graded new buildings will go up and new enterprises will spring up on all sides the value of taxable property will greatly enlarge the revenue more than the interest'on our debt.

Public improvements for the city should be carried on by bonded debt. This makes taxation light and we en joy the benefits at the start aud those who come after us will reap the fruits of our labor and bear equally the burden of taxation and havd in advance the benefit of permanent improvements. Now, to a prudent point leave out of this campaign all side issues, and let us all unite on a mayor and board of aldermen in whose hands we can trust the city for the incoming The Albany Argta prints returns from 42 counties of New York State on all spring elections thus far held, with the exception of three not yet reported.

Dispatches from Columbus concur in the announcement that Congressman McKinley is to bevthe Republican nominee for Governor of Ohio. It is said that Secretary of the Treasury Foster has assumed the position of boss, and insists that Mr. McKinley shall be nominated. It is further said that in the event Mr. McKinley wins he will not only have the delegation to the national convention solid, but will be in an excellent position to brush Mr.

Harrison aside if he again becomes a candidate. Commissioner Kolb, of Alabama, the most prominent Alliance leader in that State, was in Nashville, last week, and thus publicly expressed himself: "While I indorse the Ocala platform, no true Alliance man is in favor of a third party. The only men at Ocala in favor of a third party were the sort of men that no party wants. If I understand the Alliance and its professions of faith, it means Democracy, and if the Alliance does not mean Democracy, then I do not want to belong to it or stay in it."
