Evidently the Wrong Party.

The chairman Of the lamp committee
Ia solicitous about the city lamps and
lamp posts. 1t Is said that he has made
complaint before an alderman that
divers citizens have wilfully or carelessly
broken thrown down. extinguisbed, in
iured or destroyed said lamps or lamp
posts, and he invokes the penalty against
them provided by ordinance. Some per.
sons think that Chairman Diller is dis
turbed at the cutting down of the poles
of the Maxim electric light compan,
upon which II Is said they purpose sus-
pending their electric wires and there
is confirmation lent to this idea pS
the fact that the persons OF whom
Mr.. Diller complains have been cutting
down their poles. But 1t would convict
Chairman Diller of such infinite wooden
headedness to suppose that he considers
a Maxim company's pole to be a city
lamp post that in charity to him IL il
necessary to try to find some other ex
planation of his wild call on the
alderman. And this is readily fur
nisbed by the fact that the Maxim
people are really seeking to injure o.
destroy the city's lamp posts they arr
digging holes close alongside of then
and putting therein their big poles
The consequences are likely to be disas
trous to the lamp posts |; for, to sa.
nothing OF the obstruction OF the ligh
of the lamps which the poles make
they are liable at any time, especially il
q gale, to incline against the iron laml
posts and break them. 1t would be yer.
proper In the lamp committee to seek t
punish those who thus recklessly endan
ger the property in their care. To b
sure, Chairman Diller has not fired of
his alderman at the Maxim people; bu
this may be explained by the unusua
degree Of pressure upon the intellect o
the lamp committee chairman. III
comprehends that somebody threaten
damage to his lamp posts and he Ina
Just got mixed as to the party. If b
will try to gather his wits together ant
reflect that all posts are not lamp posts
but that a post needs lamp on it L

THERE ia a disposition manifested ny
Mr.. Wharton Barker and his american
newspaper to seriously argue the surplus
distribution" plank in the Republican
state platform. In this the authors OF
the measure are doubtless sincere, but
they might as well spare their efforts.
The plank was inserted In the platform
simply to crafty Barker and to win the
support of that small element in the
party which he is supposed to represent
His party has no notion whatever of ac.
cepting this idea as a political issue.
The Examiner, Of this city, which
stands in very closely with the predomi'
nant element of its party, said about
this matter the day after the state con-
vention
Barker wanted to be harmonized" at
the expense of the party giving formal
recognition to one of his political day
dreams, Just as Mr.. Charles Emory Smith
wished to be harmonizsd" by q recog.
ton of some of his moonshiny ideas. 1t is
intimated that while Barker was showing
the value of his idea to the " bosses, y
Quay was winking at the lockers on with
his right eye, while Chris Mageo's lett
cheek was bullying out with suppressed
amusement. They had the innocent Bar
ker where they wanted him. They passed
the word to Harry White that Barker
could be "harmonized" at the expense of
common sense, viz by inserting in the
| platform his idea that latter payment OF
the national debt as fast as its conditions
permit" etc , the surplus shall be divided
among the states. The so called bosses
thought this would do no harm as il
pleased Barker. The boys then whooped
| up the great idea.
