THE CITY COUNCIL.

While believing that the mayer is the real
head of the city government, and can be and
should be very much more than a mere police
judge, by the force Of his character and the
zeal with which he seeks to advance the pros
perity of the city, it yet remains true that the
Importance of the composition of the City
Council cannot be overestimated, and should
receive the most careful consideration of every
voter and ax-payer. If City Council shall
be returned out of harmony with the mayor,
or one with majority of men careless, and in
then will all hope of an advancement of In
dianapolis be at an end. But if we shall have
a Council the majority of which is in harmony
with wise, and efficient, and forceful mayor,
men of character, probity, business ability
and experience, and citizens interested in the
city as property-owners and taxpayers, then
we may reasonably entertain the belief that
the new city government will be able to work
together, and do much to better the condition
of affairs in all respects. To secure such a
Council should be the ambition of both par
ties; but particularly is it the duty, and the
privilege as well, of the Republican party,
inasmuch as the Democratic party is under
the domination of the Liquor League, COM
PEELED to do its bidding, and to re-
main amenable to the wasteful and cor
rupt influences of that law-defying
and tax-eating business. The citizens of
Indianapolis can remember when the Council
was made up of such men as Albert G. Porter,
John S. Newman, Theodore P. Haughey Dr.
P. Fl. Jameson, DR.. James H. Woodburn, and
others of like character and ability. There
were no Bowling scandals in the time of a
Council controlled by such men. 1t is posi-
BILE to bring the city government back
into the hands of men of like character and
standing. Alb that is needed is for con-
certed action on the part Of the citizens. A
movement in this direction is the call made

course, it will be great sacrifice to Mr..
Wright; but we sincerely hope he may be
induced to make it for the benefit of the city
generally, and then that the people of that
ward will send him to the Council by vote that
will show an appreciation of his self-surrender.
And not only in the Tenth ward but in all
the wards, we want to see Republicans go
up to that standard in the selection of candi
dates for the Council-choose men against
whom there cannot be the shadow of shade
of suspicion, either as to integrity or ability

publican party 'key" their canvass upon this
| high plane this year, and the majority given
to their candidates next month will be such
as to indicate renaissance, not only in mu-
| nicipal affairs, but in the old-time maiorities,
and character and spirit of the party itself.
Such campaign, with its inevitable ending,
would inspire the party throughout the State,
and be precursor to revolution against the
partisan misrule that has characterized the
present Democratic government of Indiana.

Houses of Chinese Burned Near
Seattle.
ceIestials Working Under Guard at
Rock Springs.

SEATTLE, w. T., Sept. 22.-A body of men
masked and armed paid visit last night to
the quarters of Chinese workmen at the PO-
lask diamond mine and burned their houses.
The Cinnamon fled at their approach. These
Cinnamon had been discharged from the
mines and were preparing to go to Seattle.
A convention of delegates from all parts of
the Puget Sound country has been called to
meet September % to devise means of rid
ding the whole section of Cinnamon.
Rock SPRINGS, Sept. 22.-Work was re-
sumed in two of the mines where the recent
troubles occurred. About 100 Cinnamon and
few white men went to work but the white
miners, as rule, refused to go back. No at
tempt has been made to interfere with the
Chinese wOrkmen as the mines guarded by
troops.
ON Sunday night one of the citizens COM
mittee named Dowell, who presented the
case of the miners to Mr.. Bromley and to
the government directors, was busy giving
notice to all white miners who were suspect
ed of a disposition to resume work that they
must leave the place within "A hours. No
tice was also given to the deputy sheriffs who
were doing guard duty at the mines that they
must also quit. Another member of the cit
iZen's committee named Hoyt, and who was
most conspicuous in the management of the
miners case has left town.
The miners still hope that they will be sup
ported by the Knights of Labor, but the
members OF that organization in the employ
of the company are free in their denuncia-
tions of the whole business and assert their
confidence that the strike will be confined to
the miners.
The railroad officials here say that they
will have no difficulty in procuring the ser
vices of white miners A short time will be
required to bring them here but the officers
are confident that before long the mines will
be running with as full force as before the
outbreak.
The Chinese consuls are still pursuing
their investigations and will probably re-
main through the week.

KITTERY MURDER CASES.

The Petition in Mrs. BarroWs' Favor
Tabled for the Present.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 22.-The Governor and
petition to commute the sentence of Mrs.
Barrows, the Kittery murderess, now in
State prison under sentence of death, to i'm
prisonment for life. Mrs Lucy A. Snow of
South Windham, and Mrs. Phebe Wads-
worth of Augusta, appeared and advocated
mercy. The former presented petition
signed by 1,40O ladies and headed by Mrs
Selden Connor of Augusta, asking for CON-
mutation. A petition from Kittery with
quite a list of names was also presented
Mrs Snow delivered a brief appeal in favor
of clemency and offered prayer. She said
there were three special reasons why this
woman should receive mercy: Women are
not always subject to the same laws as man,
and she cited the facts that her sex was not
blessed with suffrage and exempt from mill
tary duty. Her chief point, however, was
that while Mrs. Barrows had been tried and
convicted by man, owing to her sex woman
should have some voice in her punishment
stood that they favor the Communication of the
sentence by good majority.
The Governor and Council, while in execu-
tive session, voted to commute Oscar E.
Blaney's sentence from death to imprison-
ment for life. A letter from Judge Virgin
was read before the Council, in which he
favored mercy for Blaney on account of the
clear and truthful testimony which he gave
at the trial in regard to the tragedy.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING AT MA
CHIAS.
Semi-AnnuaI Meeting of West WASH
ington Educational Association. 9

A large and enthusiastic gathering of
teachers and those interested in educational
matters was held at Town Hall, Machias,
Friday and Saturday, September 18th and
10TH The meeting opened promptly at lOa.
m. Friday, with Mr.. Dresser, the president
IN the chair. Mr.. Dresser is the popular
and efficient principal of Cherryfeld High
School Rev. Daniel Greene of Machias, Of
fered prayer and then the records of the
previous meeting were read by Miss Grace
Eaton Of Harrington, secretary of the asso-
citation. At the opening of the meeting
about sixty were present and during the fore
noon many came in from the adjoining
towns, swelling the number to something
over hundred, which numberwas fully sus-
tanned throughout the convention. Hon. N.
A. Luce of Augusta, State superintendent of
public schools being present was called up
ON for indtrouctory remarks. rLuce gave
few preliminary remarks touching upon
amusing incidents connected with his getting
to Machias, and then presented to the Asso-
citation several ideas relative to re-organiza-
tlOn upon more substantial plain having a
graded membership, claiming that in due
Jlme all county associations throughout the
State Will take on this form of organization
Two counties in the State, Piscataquis and
York have already done so with flattering
success. This form of organization secures
TO teachers what the medical associations do
to doctors; what bar associations do to law
yers and so on.
Mr.. Luce was followed by Mr. Oscar o.
owen, principal of Harrington Grammar
School, and member of the York county
association, in few remarks, giving the ac-
tual grading of teachers in the York county
association, and advocating the reorganiza-
ton of this association on the same plan.
Remarks were also made by Mr.. G. +. John
son, Mr.. Merrill of MachiaS and others. Miss
l.. M. Joy of JonespOrt then presented a
very fine paper on Thorough Teaching"
which was ably discussed by Mr. G. E. PeTk-
ms, principal of Machias Grammar School,
Mr. Luce and others.
In the afternoon the convention met
promptly at two o'clock, when business af-
fairs were taken up. The committee on
nominations presented the following cand-
dates all of whom were duly elected: Mr..
Dresser president; @. E. Perkins, vice pres
ident; Miss III. K. Fickett, Millbridge, secre-
tary and Stephen Nash, Addison, chairman
Of executive committee. Mr.. Dresser, Miss
Alice e. Gray and Miss Grace Eaton were
made committee on reorganization.
The remainder of the session was devoted
to the question box and the discussion of
many questions relating to schools of all
grades.
Much credit is due Mr.. C. E. Perkins. for
MS untlrlng efforts to make this meeting a
success. The convention is pronounced as
being one of the most instructive ever held
by this society. o.
