Tbe pilgrimage will be profitable to some, but, necessarily tbe large por tion of those who are willing to work for tbe city will suffer disappointment There hare already been filed with City Clerk Young many applications lor po sitions under the Reform government, These applications, however, are mostly for positions on the police force, tbe ap plication, for tbe higher offices appar ently being held back until a few days before the election. On the streets it is common talk that the next chief of police will be ex-Mavor H. S. Harkins. . His selcction.it is under stood, would satisfy the Republicans who took part in tbe Kclorra movement. Mr. Harkins has sent in no application however, and told Thu Citizen a day or two ago that as soon ui he could dispose of bis property he was expecting to g to the Northwest to live. Other gentle I men who are considered in connection with tbe position of chief, although not having filed applications, arc ex-Chief F, N. Waddell, I. H. Hampton and T. W Fitzpatnck.

An opponent be will have, bow ever, will be Harrison Brown, colored, and it is believed in some quarters that 1 Brown bas a good chance at the job. It is said that tbe colored people claim two policemen in tbe award of offices. and will endeavor to get that number appointed. But, as said bv Mayor l'atton a few days ago, whoever tills the offices may ex pect to work as they have never worked heretofore. And may the best men win ! COMMENCEMENT.

John Erwin, who "janits" ' the city ball, tells it that the big $60, 000 building is haunted. So noticeable, be says, have the disturbances become that it is impossible to get the officers on the police force to remain in head quarters during tbe night, and at times, the Major says, tbe silence in tbe build ing is so deep as to allow him to bear a pin drop anywhere about the house. This haunting story will be understood wben Mai. Erwin goes on to tell about the Mayor's visit to headquarters Sun day morning, wben several of tbe force were found off their beats. New Minister.
