U OIIK FOU IthinillK I n. TlttH II I'.KK. The man who has any care or preference ! as to how local goernuieut affairs shall be administered the coming j ear should bestir I himself this week. At the April election we are to chm-e men to the council ami boanl of education who are to appropriate I and use large sums of lnonej lnonej i i raised from land It would tliA iuoikl h taxes. seem to be plain enough! to eerj man of sense that t ought to select mj good, wise, ronteria j tle ami Intelligent men and men who are honest to this council and board. Then we are to eJei t a maj ur. a cit solicitor, a street commissioner, a water works trustee, and a jpolice Judge, clerk and i prosecutor. We ought to ha e Rood, solid,' trustworthj, resjiectable. honest men In all i these offices; men of character, w ho are looked up to by their fellow -citizens with confidence and esteem. Men of the right sortof the stIe we have described -can be found in the repub lican ranks, anil without diflicultv, and it Is the dnt) of the re publican masses to hunt about and find the right men for all the oftirus If thej happen to be candidates and are seeking positions, give their claims a fair consideration and supjiort them if the are found to meet the requirements, as to ca- pacify and iiitegritv. and it i believed that the) have good running qualities. Hilt we are not confined, in our observations and .:. ., .. i, r ,11,i,.. ""r.. ' . " ' a, canuiuaies. x.ir u-.v turn iuj w m the ranks and not seeking office. Where ever the) are, let us have them. This week i tlie time when the nomina tions are to be virtually decided upon The candidates for council, the board of education and for assessorships are to be nominated next Monda), and it is erj important that good men should 1h brought out b) all parti for all of the positions to be named Xn part) should name a single man who is not competent and worthy. Especial attention should be giv en to the selection of assessors. We need a representatlv e citizen as our ma)or. It is not at all necessary that we should have a man of vvealtli. but we should have a man of character, and good habits, and reputation, whether he be a millionaire or a da)-Iaborer. We have plenty of hard fistetl, actual workingtneii who would fill the position with honor to the cit) and to them selves, and of whom our citizens would be proud. It w ill not be hard to find a man of this sort. The candidates for positions In the police court should be selected w itli reference to especial qualifications and fitness. All must be well posted In law and jiossessed of ex perience. We do not know how man) aspirants there ma) be for the position of citv solici tor, but we doubt whether a better man than Mr. bummers could be found. lie has made a good record, as a fair and come- tent man. We need a good man in the water-works board, and it is ven important that we should liafe an efliclent street com missioner. We have the right men for all these po sitions to be filled. In the republican ranks; tet us pick them out, nominate them and elect them one and all. We are to elect the delegates who w HI make the selection, on Monday evening next. It is our dut) to pick them out, this v eek, it is not quite safe to allow theiu to pick themselves out, This is a gov eminent of the people, but It Is a government tinder which the people are expected to govern themselves. Just at this time, the people should attend to the matter of selectiug those who are to govern them. The prevailing practice is tor men to neglect their duty the few da)s before the nomination!) are made, and then growl and swear during the remainder of the j ear. SITI ttlttl'S ELtClHt. Five thousand out of about nine thousand of Springfield's voters participated in the election held on Saturda). There were 3,000 citizens w ho did not seem to care whether we had a police court or not or. It may be that thev could not make an in telligent choice between the old sjsteui and that prov idol for. It is quite true that, with many, thtredid not seem to be enough difference between the two to pa) for a trip iothepolls. or thosewhodld vote- asall might have done- a.S.! approved the law and l,4s3 were opposed to it. The law 1 adopted for local application and it Is now the duty of the people to elect the best men who can be ure.1 to Mil all the posi tions. We are t have the new marktt house. We are safe in sajmg that the jieople want it. Now let us have as good a building as a hundred thousand dollars will build, and let Springfield mechanics do the work. There is no need of ail) heat or bad blood in the pending cit) campaign. The republicans should go to work good-naturedly, nominate a good ticket ami elect it. That ought not to ruffle an) bod) 's feelings, for it would be in the public interest. THE NEWS IN BRIEF. The general attitude of the great Powers of Europe Is more quiet, not to sa peaci -ful.

Kor two months or more he has been making arrangements for a grand Fourth of Jnl ceUbration, similar In that which he managed in 1ns-. That was operated on a big wale, but the celt oration which he promises to give this jcar will eclipse an) thing of the kind ever given in Springfield. When Kobert Downing plaved his last engagement hi re. Colonel Waldman dosed a contract with William Muldoon, the famous athlete, for a gnat (Iriio-Koman wrestling match, to le held at the fair grounds, in this cit, on the Fourth of Jul.

The cel hration will he extensive! adertl-ed all over this sec tion of the state, and thousands of people will be here on that da). "bill) Emerson, whose name is well known all over the civilized world, and who is recognized as toe prince of all minstrels, will appear in Sprmgneld on the 2 W in stant with Haverl)'s troupe. Tlitre are men In the b'imt cork profession who are better singers and lietter dancers ami better comedians than Emerson, but there is an indefinable something about him that makes him the greatest favorite of the minstrel stage. Frir sev eral v ears he has been pia) Ing in iAindon. Kng . Melbourne, Australia, and San Francisco. His present engagement with Haverlyis limited to twenty weeks, and he receives a salary of S"00 a week. Emerson has leeii seen several times b) Springfield peopld, one of the last and most successful engage ments he everpla)ed here, being with his own eompaii). which included the original "ltlg Four.'" If he desires to set a Spring field audience wild he will trip on the stage and sing his song, "Old, Familiar Faces." And thtn. if he should follow that with his llroadvva) policeman somr, the uper house will certaini) go wild with enthusiasm. It is seldom that one finds a more perfect sMVimeu of the tme Itoheuiian than Col onel John L. Burleigh, who pla)s Fabian, the hemic and leading part in Bartlev Campbell's "Clio " As a soldier. law) er, legislator, editor, politician and actor, he has al w a) s occupied a prominent position. The following from the Kansas Cit) Times will be of interest to those who saw Colonel Burleigh in "Clio'' this week. "Few men now on the American stage present so varied and eventful a caret r as does genial Colonel John 1 Burleigh, who appears as leading au in Bartle) Camjv bell'spla). "Clio.'' From earl) bo)hood the colonel's career has been more of that delightful condiment "tlie spice of van et)," than generall) falls to the lot of man.

He rose rapldl) through instances of personal braver) and discre tion, and at the age of seventeen bore the distinction of being the youngest commis sioned officer in the arm), receiving the rank of lieutenant colonel of his regiment 1 he hardships of war, with several built t wounds, made sail havoc with the health of the rosv -cheeked boy, who left his mother to march to the front and he spent a year traveling abroad. Ketiiraiug, he read law. and was admitted to the bar and bid fair to take a leading rank, w hen a penchant for journalism took him into the editorial chair of the Ann Arbor (Michigan) Dcmurmt. His services to his part) were such that he received the noiiiinition for state senator in the district, and Ills x'rsonal (Nipulant) eletted him In a strong republican district.

H-fore 1 hat Ikmi with him long I under Uxd his oxtnionlmar power , witlt the public, tut it is impossible for ma to analyze it. In tdatiire he was very tall, I over six feet, his beanug waservct, his face was thin and his no-ie was iquilin livery movement wa, the perfection of gracs, and ' with that he unconsciously muted i corn man ling dignity that bespoke the innate ! greatness of the min.

He wa impres sive, too, een in his gallantr es. "I remember that one of the ladies at the Cataract house on that occasion was Miss Llhi.tt, daughter of Judge Elliott, who pre sided over a large judicial d.strkt In Can ada She was a beautiful girl, not more than 17 or IS ear of age neither chil 1 nor woman. Her hair was raeu black and worn It natural curls longer than any others 1 ever faw, bhe was tall, too, and superbly formed. Her education was remarkable anl she at tracted Mr Cla s attention.

Ity no means my dear boy, I'll gj to her,' was the gallant response; and taking my arm he crossed over with me to wber the lady stood, and was presented to her. Considering the fact that he was the lion of the hour, an old man full of lonor't and the idol of thousand, this characteristic little bit of good breeding has always e3tned to me worth remembering. "A fewdays later I had an equally striking illustration of Mr. Clay's lmpressiveness. I bai gone out early one mormnx to the falls, and while contemplating them I felt the ap proach of somebody. There wa3 no sound, not even a shadow, to warn me; but I knew that some one was at band 1 di 1 net change my position nor look urounJ, but presently I felt a hand laid on my head.
