woRK,NamEn,s PLATFORM.
What They Say About It

The following is the platform form.
lated by the Central Trades assembly,
upon which they intend to enter the
sldermanic contest. We understand
that 1t has been adopted by that body
and endorsed by the trades union or.
ganizations:
To reform the existing evils Of our
city government, we, workingmen OF
the city of Council Bluffs, pledge to
the people the following measures:
1. The strict enforcement of all ex-
listing laws and ordinances for the pro.
lection Of life and property.
w. The publication of the police and
other departments of the city govern
ment that lawlesanessU and vice may be
exterminated and punished.
3. The abolition of the contract sys
tenn on city improvements
I 4 Foil accountability Of all public
servants for faithful performance OF
duties.
5. improvements In the streets and
avenues as speedily as the revenues
will allow, at the expense of the city.
6 Sufficient compensation to publ
servants, and all fees Of office deposit.
ed to the city's credit,
z. A license law for the regulation
of the traffic In liquor of not lesS THAI
$500 per annum.
The above statement OF principles
we submitted to q great number Of
both parties about the city yesterday
with a view of getting general express
cions of opinion upon it. Most OF
those spoken to thought the platform
''all right in fact but one man with
whom we talked was out and out
against it. Nearly every one, how
ever, was anxious about the ticket to
DO pat upon the platform.
"What kind OF men will the labor
ing mon put up2' was the commonest
query.
The refusal of Shugart to run, Is
announced In yesterdays BEE, created
some wonder as to what would be done
In the matter. Mr.. Baird, chairman
of the republican, city central commit
tee, upon being asked what was to be
done, answered that the central com.
mittee would hold q meeting, and il
necessary another Caucus would be
called.
"What do you think of that plat
form2' we asked, holding 1t out to
him.
"Well," said he after reading it, 81
don't belong to their crowd. The
platform appears to be all correct"
Mr.. Tulleys, of Burnham & Tulleyu
heartily approved the movement.
Justice Schurz gave us a breezy ar.
gument on the principle of high Ii
oense, claiming that 1t was a crusade
against the poor man and that the rich
saloons were really more dangerous
than the others.
Ia general there was a deep con-
Germ to know what the workingmen
would do to-night.-and considerable
breath holding until that event.

Tue Play.

The Path6nders did not find q very
large house last night. To put 1t
mildly, 1t was slim. While there may
have been, and in fact there were,
some creditable performances, notably
the cornet playing and some of the
singing, yet on the whole 1t was not a
success.
We hope we can go to hear atroupe

and they have concluded that their
work Is needed at the polls as well as
in the shops.
If they cannot nominate better
men with better principle than their
opponents, they should and would be
defeated. The moral and religious
interests of society are left out of all
consideration by the old parties, judg-
ing from the nominations.
Finally, workingmen are able to
take care of their interests and will
conduct their political affairs without

to see that we have good roads; and
we feel confident from our knowl-
edge Of them, that they will serve
with credit to themselves, and honor
TO the Court that appointed them.
AS faithful gatherer Of historical
events, we deem il no more than
Just and right to say to our Big
Lake friends, that they are in great
measure indebted in this matter to
Esq. ]. A. Barron, who promptly
and cheerfully aided the Court in
making the proper order in the case.
Indeed, be it was who called the at
tention of the Court to the subject.
On Monday, whilst the Court was
in session, Mr.. Mcveigh, the deputy
Clerk, in the absence Of Mr.. Bacchus,
tho clerk, let out the contract for
building the Bridge across Mud ba-
you. The bidding was very ANNA
ted, opening at $1,000 and gradually
dropping down to 1920, 90, at which
amount the contract was knocked
down to Mr.. F, Feezer.
But few persons are in attendance
upon Court, owing, no doubt, to the
extremely bad weather; though, as
a general rule, our County Court
does not attract many persons out
side of the town. Next week at
Probate Court, there will be large
attendance of Administrators and
Guardians from all parts of the
county.
The petition for a County road
along the bank Of the river in Swayne
Township, in front of the lands of
r. w. Watkins, Theodore Forrest
and A. II. Fisher, was continued by
reason of the failure on the part Of
the petitioners to give the proper
notice in the TINES of their inten-
ton to file their petition. While
every one interested, and who has to
travel from Mill Bayou to Barfeld
vii regret the delay occasioned by
the continuance, the law on the sub
ject is plain and imperative, requir-
ing due notice to be given i'll the
County paper.
The contest over the confirmation
Of the report of the Commissioners
to change the location of the Sandy
Bayou road at the point "where the
blue SOW was ill.," was continued
the contestant announcing that he
desired to use the Cour. as witness.
