The Council.
Secretary County Grange

The session of the city council on Tues,
day evening last was devoid Of more than
the ordinary interest, owing perhaps to the
numerous special meetings held the pre-
ceding month and the better acquaintance
formed among the members.
The meetings of all these special and
the last regular meeting were formally
read and approved.
The first petition was from the residents
of De Soto street ION the Ridge for more
light" and lamps to be placed at the cross
ing of Clinton street and the other at the
west end of De Soto The motion was re
ferred to the gas committee with power to
act.
Just here the mayor called attention to
the extreme darkness of the evening and
the absence of gas. He thought it was a
part of the contract to furnish gas on all
dark evenings even though the moon be
supposed to shine.
George w. Matthias, of the first ward,
asked privilege to cut the hay from the
park in that ward during the next five
years (or subject to the pleasure of the
counciD for which privilege he agreed to
keep the fences and trees in and around
the park in good order. On motion his
petition was granted. The same gentle
man had a similar contract during the past
five years.
Mayor Allen, stating that he had other
matters he would like TO attend to during
the evening. and that he should soon ask
to he excused for the evening, requested
the council to take some action upon the
appointment of bridge building commit
see. He felt one was needed which could
make all preliminary arrangements antici-
pating favorable vote on the 2Sth inst.
On motion of Aid McDougal the mayor
was authorized to appoint committee o.
five to take charge of the matter of re-
building the Illinois bridge, their acts to
he subject to the approval of the council.
The mayor subsequently named as such
committee Messrs. McDougall, Hull, Ho
ban, Griffith and Thomas, The committee
composed of about the. same members
rs the one selected on former occasion for
the same purpose. They were further di-
rected to cause such repairs to be made on
the old bridge as will render it temporarily
safe.
Mayor Allen then requested the council
TO select one of their number as mayor pro
tenn. as he expected to be absent from the

young German has been making his home
with Valentine Kouts, an old German far
mer, whose ho,he is upon property adjoin-
ing the fair grounds in Wehoha'
Last week the young man went 10
the fair accompanied by the l5year-old
daughter of Mr., Koutz. From the fair
ground the couple went to Rutland, and
from that quiet hamlet to Wichita, Kansas,
where telegram had been sent, which
cnlsed the arrest of the German and the
detention of the girl. Mr. Koutz and wife
took Mondays train for the west for the
purpose of bringing back their truant
daughter. Confucius, the great Chinese
philosopher and lawgiver, once observed
that the only thing on earth that in kitten
ish actions can excel girl of fifteen years,
is 4 girl of sixteen years.

REPUBLICAN WAYS IN OHIO,

Senator German, the Maryland member
of the Democratic National Committee,
has spent a week in Ohio, overlooking the
state of the contest now waging in that
state, and while he has no doubt, In fairly
conducted fight, the Democrats would come
out handsomely ahead, he says the Repub-
lican methods are such that there is no
guessing at the outcome He says
Mot only are the republicans repeating
in Ohio the methods they used in Indiana
in 1890 in the expenditure of enormous
sums of money, but they have in active
service there Pension Agent Dudley and
quite a number of his special inspectors
working among the soldiers consequently
the pension claims of from three to four
thousand soldiers are, they say, now being
Investigated by these officials, who have
permitted the papers TO slumber for years
in the bureau AT Washington, The claims
which the soldiers are now told will be al
lowed are equivalent to 100000 or $500
600 of campaign money from the United
States treasury, and this method OF secur
ing funds is the most corrupt and most
dangerous element that ever entered into
an election The state moreover is being
literally overrun with republican workers
and manipulators from Washington, Balti-
more and Philadelphia, and from our in
formation not less than five thousand per
sons Of this class have been sent there and
are at work. Notwithstanding all this, the
democrats of Ohio are perfectly confident
that the republicans will have all they can
do 10 carry the state, if, indeed, they can
carry il at all
II don't believe the state could be bought
If there were more prosperous times there,
but the fact is the republicans have taken
advantage of the distress of twenty or thirty
thousand persons, who are now out of EN-
ployment and il remains TO be seen wheth
er the party which caused this distress
want and misery will be permitted TO fur

Col Ralph Plumb, Republican candidate
for Congress, was in this city on Tuesday,
and of course called to see his recently
hired two-penny organ grinders, and under
his inspiration, no doubt, that concern on
Tuesday evening eased itself of the follow

The last issue of the FREE TRADER con
tains lengthy screed, labeled Settling
With Col. Plumb" 1t contains
not one single truthful sentence, (all of
which the editor of the FREE TRADER
knows) The manner in which
the o. o q +. X. V. railroad was disposed
of is well known to our citizens and Col.
Plumb is as innocent of any connection
with the transfer as the editor of the FREE
TRADER is to truthfulness.
The transfer was made, as all the docu
ments in the case abundantly show, by the
contractors to whom the contract of Oliver
Young was transferred to construct the O.
O. & F. II. V. r. r., and those contractors
were W. III. w. Cushman, G. II. Force and
Ralph Plumb. They not only made the

had the cheek to sue the individual stock.

there is the record today on the books in

more of these suits, which were prosecuted

PLUME, parties under the name and style

We know that the convenient dodge of
contractors Plumb, &c, is that the transfer
was not made by the contractors but by the
directors of the road; but the directors
were elected by majority of the stock,
and all the stock except a few thousand
dollars was in the hands of the contractors.
To talk about the directors setting them
selves up under such circumstances against
the will of the cont octors is ridiculous

For the Free Trader
why we should not vote with the Republi-

We have before us a scrap of a newspa-

Y. Trtbune and are worthy of that model
thaumaturgical publication,
1. The past twenty,three years, under
Republican rule, form the most glorious

Was business ever more stagnant; were
there ever more manufactures standing
still; have we ever had more mechanics
and laborers out of work than at the pres

ed 1t deals with pauper labor and tariff
"The Republican party makes foreign
goods pay duty, and so build up home in
dustry and home market for farmers.
The Democratic party has constantly tried
to break down that system"
The hotee market provided for farmers

Prices he is getting! Where is the great

tariff docs touch the farmer nevertheless

he otherwise would do. That is the way it

1t talks of protected labor. Labor is not
the only thing protected by it. 1t bowls
over pauper labor. English laborers and
mechanics receive better wages in that
dreadful free trade country than those of

civil and political rights of all citizens"

Democratic party.

caused Great Britain to give up the claim
that British born citizens still owed allegi

country is concerned Great Britain tacitly
surrendered this claim in 1915 and has
never attempted TO enforce il since. The
mere formal remuneration of the principle
therefore was of no great importance. Ger
