house of Engine 4, located near by. While
MIR. Gator was denouncing Buckleyism they
constantly interrupted him with cheers
for Bobby" Ferral and cries of Come over
to de engine-honse. The speakers only
notice of them was this retort: eff you
were attending to your duty, you would be
at the engine-house instead of out here on
the street trying to create disturbance"
When James Ii. Barry began speaking
the Fire Department bruisers renewed their
tactics, but he scored them in such plain
language that they skunk away to the en-

was no authority for the statement that the
members OF that organization intended to
bers who were asked about it declared that
the order has nothing to do with political af-

political announcement was the work of a
practical joker who thought it would be
funny. The other members failed to see the
humor Of the thing and expressed their lack
OF appreciation in vigorous language.

Getting Out the Silent Voters

In the palmy days of Athens it was the
law that every man who had right to vote
should do so. Each elector was paid a
stated premium, enough to compensate for
the loss Of time, for going to the polls and
deposting his ballot If he showed dispo-
silion 10 shirk this duty he was whipped to
the voting place by an officer who used for
this purpose seourge made OF stout thongs

waited on at the store in which he is en-
ployed by Hirsh Of the Post, whom he had
known through preparing advertisements
for that paper; that Hirsh asked if the con-
veTsation he had had with him was not pri-
yate; that he told him that he did not SO
consider it, and that Mr.. Siebe having
asked him to make the affi iavit, he had
done so; that Hirsh told him if he did not
deny what he had asserted in the affidavit
he would tear him uD. and that he had re-
fused TO comply with the request, as what
he had signed Is the truth,
Later i'll the afternoon the Post printed
under Il scare-head an attack upon Wallen-
stein for having made the affidavit, and
after charging him with being thief said

THE BOSS SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

"The fact that Taylor. who had in his
hands all OF the money collected on the
judgments, only paid one-haf of the $500
note given by Bonnet to Buckley strongly
corroborates Bonnet's statement that at the
time the note was given tie agreement was
that Taylor should pay one-half OF it and
he (BonneO the other half.
81 cannot at all agree to what is said in
the prevailing opinion with respect to the
$500 paid to Buckley by Taylor in the mat
ter of procuring the advancement of the
cases of Bonnet and Parker on the calendar
of the court. In so far as that matter has
any bearing upon the charge in question, it
strengthens the conclusion to which have
come. To believe that Taylor paid Buckley
$500 simply to go to some attorneys aud ask
if they had case they did not wish to try.
and in lieu Of which they would agree that
the Bonnet and Parker cases might be
placed, requires mOrs credulity than
possess.
"As q matter of fact, the Bonnet and
Parker cases were advanced on the calendar
by stipulation of the attorney in the respec-
tive cases. Taylor, who was real party in
interest in the Bonnet and Parker cases, and
who, as appears, had frequent interviews
with the attorneys in them. either c0mmu-
nicated the promised arrangement with
Buckley to the attorney, or he did not Ii
he did not the circumstance Of itself would
strongly strengthen the suspicion that the

ter stated by Buckley and Taylor. If he
did not communicate the proposed arrange
ment to the attorney, can 1t be believed the
