WISCONSIN INDEPENDENTS

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Oct. 21.-The indie
pendent executive committee to day is>
sued an address which dwells in com
mending terms upon Gov. Cleveland S
career in public life; reviews Blaine's con-
nection with the Hooking valley coal
fields, and his denials of the Mulli9an let
ters; saws that the enrolment of voters in
Wisconsin has exceeded "our most san
guine expectations, and that the indie
pendent vote will not fall short of 10000
and it is likely to reach $4,000, 1t says
further, that in New York state 10000
independent voters are enrolled, and that
victory there is assured. 1t closes thus:
Victory is ours; from it will follow an
administration fraught with better and
more far reaching consequences than any
which has gone before. Free from par
tisan abuse or party dictation, thoroughly
searching into existing wrongs, and
scrupulousiy watchful or new instrumen-
talihes, official uprightness and fidelity
will be reflected back through all the
various branches of our political system
and extend to business and industrial re-
lations. Peculations and speculations
will give place to honest industry ant
useful methods of the accumulating o.
wealth.

Suicide Near Hastings.

A young man by the name of Andy
Bixby, twenty-one years old, who had
been working for A. j. Weirin, one mile
north of town, committed suicide last
Friday by hanging himself. No cause is
known for the rash act except that he
had been sick during the day and was I'M
able to work. At noon MI. Wearin, who
was absent in the morning, returned
home and young Bixby cared for the
team, when he and Mr.. Weirin went to
the house for dinner. The young man
refused to eat, saying that he did not
care for any dinner, and Immediately
left the house,-the family supposing he
had gone to Hastings to procure medi.
cine. Nothing more was thought of the
circumstance until about six o'clock in
the evening when the ~lifeless body of the
young man was discovered hanging in the
barn loft. The remains were sent the

Louic's Restaurant Visited.

Yesterday morning it was discovered
that Louie's restaurant on Broadway neal
Pearl street, had been burglariacd some
time during the proceeding night. The
fellows had gained an entrance through
the rear of the store, and helped them
selves to about ten boxes of the best
cigars, apparently taking time to select
choice brands. They also went through
the till and got what change had been
left there, about two dollars.
About noon yesterday Chief Skinner
arrested Herman Fredericks toward
whom suspicion pointed as having been
concerned in the burglary. He had been
in the employ of the restaurant, and had
been discharged. On his person were
found a number of nickles and pennies,
such as we're taken from the drawer, and
among the coins was one peculiar penny,
a mashed coin, which has been recognized
as having been part of the money taken.
The young man denies the charge, and
no trace of the missing segars has been
found.

POOR
The Union Pacific. Wants the City to
Borrow Money to Help Ii Ont.

The proposition of the Union Pacific
to let the city pave the street car track
on condition that the Union Pacific may
have eight years to pay for it in, is pre-.
sented in a very plausible way. The
company claims that the street railway
is not paying, and that the company is
not now in a condition to have the paw
ing done and pay for it within sixty days
as required by law.
The company claims that it will have
to put down new rails, and make other
improvements, besides the cost of paving.
The improvements are estimated at
$4,000, and the paving $4,000. 1t
wants the city to simply treat the com
pany as it treats other property owners,
and make assessments yearly for a term
of eight years, to pay for its $40, 900 of
pavement. Unfortunately for the com
pany, the law, while it gives the city the
right to grant this privilege to other
property owners, does not allow of the
privilege being granted to such corpora,
tions. The Union Pacific wants the
council to enter into a contract evasive
of this law, and offers as a financial pro.
lection to the city a promise that this
cost of paving shall be a lien on the
whole of the $500, 900 worth of property
owned by the company in this city.
The company intimates that if its re.
quest is not complied with there may be
war. The company may litigate and
hinder improvements. 1t may abandon
its street car track. 1t may force the
city to do the paving anyway and then
try and collect it of the company. The
company smilingly asks the city to Dor
row 500, 900 for it and her shows its
teeth with a threat as to what may hap
pen if it refuses to do 30. The city
council ought to take no chances but fol.
low 1.-THE law strictly and make the Union
Pacific comply with it strictly. Then
there will be no chance for censure.
The company has shown too bad faith
in regard to Union avenue to expect it's
promises to be taken at par just now.
1t is a little difficult to see clearly why
the Union Pacific should expect the city
to borrow 500, 900 instead of borrowing
it itself. A mortgage on its property
might be shaved by some money-lenders
and the Union Pacific thus get the need
ed cash, and then the city council would
not have to jeopardize any of the city's
interests.
