duct OF others. First-always first-men-

negl cted TO give such warningas they could

Congressman ROweII and La FOIlert Grow
Tired at Last and Go Home - They
Speak a Good Word for Harrison.
Congressmen Rowell, of Illinois, and La
Follett, of Wisconsin, were on the limited
going home last night. Both men are Re
publican, and Mr.. Rowell has attained
some reputation as Representative.
Said he: II think the new administration
is going slowly, but doing the work well.
After all the appointments have been made
/ think everybody will be satisfied. 1
would like to see Public Printer Benedict
fred just as soon as possible, but there
have been such a number of applicants for
this position that the President has hesi-
tated about making q selection. am in
favor of Captain Meredith, of Chicago, but
1 would not find fault if he did not get it.
Senator Cullom has been kicking, but he is
like General Logan used to be. If John
got nine appointments and lost the tenth he
was mad. while a good many men would be
glad enough to have one.
Quay and Sherman may feel little sore
toward each other now, but when Sherman
comes back he will apologize if he has done
wrong"
Congressman La Follett said that he ex-
pected to see Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa,
appointed Land Commissioner in the course
of q month. he says the Cabinet ministers
are bothered to death with Office seekers
during the day. Secretary Noble has been
working hard, spending most of the time up
to midnight mastering the details of the
Interior Department. Mr.. La Follett says
Noble is fine lawyer, and the cattle kings
soon found ont that they could not influence
him. For this reason they don't like him.

The Number of Drupks on Saturday Greatly

The number of persons arrested for drunk.
enness in this city Saturday night was very
small, considering the very large increase
in the business done by tie lucky 90. Al
some Of the station houses, where it is nc
uncommon thing to have eight or ten
"drunks.' at the hearings Sunday morning,
the dockets were either bare or but one OF
two names were entered.
At the Central station, where there are
usually at least 20 cases of drunkenness, the
number was reduced to II. In the Eleventh
ward, where they frequently have eight or
ten, there was not drunk. In the Four
teenth ward two were arrested during the
evening, where as many as ten have been
brought in on that charge. The combined
number at the Twelfth, Seventeenth and
Nineteenth ward houses was only three.
The entire Southside only furnished the
same number. There have been as many as
20 at the Twenty-eighth ward alone.
The number of drunks arrested in the en-
tire city were 18-less than one to every five

Report Tint the Ironworkers' Chief VIII
Engage Otherwise.
1t is stated upon reliable authority that
William Weihe, President of the Amalga-
mated Association for the past six years,
has decided not to be a candidate for re-
election at the coming annual convention of
the organization, and will retire to engage
in business pursuits.
Efforts have been made by members of the
association to induce james 81. Mutt to
allow his name to be used as candidate in
the event of President Weihe retiring, but
he has declined by reason of having been
rendered a lucrative appointment in the
employ of the Government. As the salary
of the President of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation is s, 500 per year and travelling ex-
penses, it is probable each district will have
one or more candidates.
Mr.. Mutt is one of the most prominent
members of the Amalgamated Association,
and for years has been a member of the
Board of Trustees. Mr. Weihe could not
be seen last night, but several members say
he will not be a candidate for reelection.

An Allegheny Man Attempts Suicide By
Seyering an Artery in His Arm.
Thomas Smith, a blacksmith at the Fort
Wayne Railroad shops, who lives at 209
Washington avenue, Allegheny, was taken
to the General Hospital early yesterday
morning. He complained that he was sick
and claimed that he had been poisoned.
About o'clock he left the institution and
went home.
The officers of patrol station No. 2 were
called to his home about o'clock last even
ing by report that Smith had attempted
to commit suicide. He had cut an artery
in his arm with a razor and was covered
with blood. He resisted arrest and at
tempted to slash the officers with the razor.
They were compelled to put handouts on
him and in the scufle were covered with
blood.
The man was taken to the hospital where
he received proper attention. 1t is believed
that ne is insane. Smith is 81 years of age
and has wife and family.

A NO-TAX MILLENNIUM.

Il In a Measure Advocated by Local Dis
cipIe of Henry George.
The Secular Union held meeting in
Imperial Hall, corner of New Grant street
and Seventh avenue, last night. Thomas
Grundy made an address on "Single Tax. "
Mr.. Grundy is in favor of system of tax
alton by which improvements only, and not
the land, would be assessed He holds that
society can gain no wealth from price on
land, and that the valuation of all lands,
city and suburban, should either be equal
lied, or abolished entirely.
By the adoption of such system specula-
ton would be done away with and the poor
would be placed on an equal footing with
all men in the matter of owning property.
Mr.. A. A. Barker and Mr.. Frank Gest-
ner also made addresses on the subject, fol-
lowing out The line of argument advanced
by Mr.. Grundy.
