F. Wilson's CITY Board of Political Works
| Anderson, demanding his resignation. r is
appears to be in the line of making the best
that is to say the worst-use of the little
term left to these foundling members.
They have corrupted all the branches CT
CITY labor to a Democratic election ma
chine, and have failed. They see that pub
| lie decency demands their removal bv leg
islation, and so they devote the rest of their
term to party revenges. and to continuing
the work of disorganizing the city labor
departments. Thev declare their nten-
ton to appoint C, N. DaneAhower in the
place of Col Anderson. The partisan pur-
pose could not be more plainly expressed.
The pretense of saving by ppointingDanen-
hover at $500 less salary is too tricky for
serious notice. Cheap engineering has cost
this city millions. Danenhower has not
had scientific training as an engineer, but
has had considerable experience as assistant
in the Engineers Office. But he is a de-
feated Democratic candidate to the Legsla-
ture, and he is of a kind to be used BY the
ring to make the Engineers office, and all
its influence and power over contractors
and laborers, Democratic election force.
Therefore he is the right man to suit the
uses of this Misunderstanding of the pres
ent speculative mania, it says: In New
York, for example, the speculative sales of
stocks are. in point of magnitude, almost
unexampled; and a feature worthy of
notice is that stocks which have the
least intrinsic value, and many which have
no real value at all, have attracted most at
tenton and made the greatest percentage
of advance. Nearly every stock purchased
within the last three months has made
profit, and the lower and more worthless
the stock the greater the profit. Invest
ments in property that has real value are
we'll enough and safe enough, but the purely
speculative mania which is sending worth
less stocks kiting and initiating other Sc
curties above their real va lie, is big with
danger and bound to explode, carrying de-
struction into the ranks of the enthusiastic
adventurous Gazette says We doubt,
however, whether an instance of more un-
provoked or fiendish barbarity ever oc-
cured in Bulgaria than this which has
, been perpetrated in chivalrlc MISSISSIPPI,
reported by Elizabeth J.. Comstock, a re-
spected member of the S. ciety of Friends,
: residing at Lawrence, Kansas to friend in
, Philadelphia: The latest atrocity that has
+ reac ed us is of a young refugee who came
to this State at tie commencement ct the
exodus, worked diligently, saved 800 ard
returned to Mississippi to marry and bring
, back his bride. The very night after his
marriage he was dragged from his house by
r masked regulators. both arms cut off above
S the elbows and left on the ground bleeding
, to death, while his cruel murtlerers with
. fearful ouths exclaimed Now 60 and take
I your wife to Kansas and earn living fol
t her."
