cratic city committee, at a meeting last
night, expelled Peter Monroe and William
McMullen, the Democratic leaders in the
Third and Fourth wards, for alleged
treachery to the party at the recent cleo
ton. These wards are Democratic strong

narily gives Democratic majority of !, 800,
gave only 55 plurality for Pattison. Nc
Mullen is charged with being responsible
for this discrepancy. Monroe is said to

sure Defeat for Senator INGALLS,,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. There is now
but little doubt that the next Kansas legis-
lature on joint ballot will be under the con-
troll of the Farmers Alliance and Demo
Gratis combined, and possibly the alliance
alone will have working majority. This
means sure defeat for Senator ingalls,.
The Republicans and the alliance men are
claiming victory in the gubernatorial con-
test, but so far Willetts, Alliance, is in the
lead. In the First district the official count
will be necessary to determine whether
Moonlight, Dem, or Broderick, Rep, is
elected. The remaining six congressman
were elected by the alliance.

An editorial article in the same num-
Der Of the Dry Goods Economist points
out the special hardship caused by the
provisions of the Mckinley law relating
to the cheap gloves worn by women.
While fine gloves are made in the United
States for men. those made for women
are inferior. The foreign article which
has heretofore been purchased by the
poorer people will be entirely driven
from the market by duty "all out Of
proportion to the value of goods" The
Economist says;
The medium and high priced gloves can
still be retailed at an advance OF per
cent, though several retailers will not, so
they say, advance at present, and not more
than > or 10 cents on pair OF gloves NJ any
time. As women of wealth wear these any
way, they will not miss the extra Few pen

Gloves happily illustrate the point
that the increase in the price Of an ar
ticle is generally greater than the in
crease in the custom rate. Thus the
Economist says:

more in price. hut the shopper will pay

WASHINGTON, December lS.-The relent.
less way in which Speaker Reed compelled
Republican members 10 attend their Con
gressional duties last session, was very
hard on some of the big business men, who
got themselves elected 10 CongresS'more as
a diversion than rs a serious pursuit. Many
of them attended at considerable personal
sacrifice and had 10 let their business take
care Of itself, or go 10 the dogs. This was
especially true OF group OF wealthy gen
tlemen. who represent Michigan constitu-
encies. but they obeyed the mandate of their
partv's Car and remained in Washington
10 the end of the session, with one eXcep-
ton. This exception was the Hon. Frank
w. Wheeler, Of West Bay City, who repre-
sents the Tenth Michigan District. Mr..
Wheeler is a young man. yet forty years
of ace. and is the proprietor OF extensive
shin building works at West Bay City. he
is self-made man, worth probably mil
lion dollars, and he has made IL all within
the last ten years. Not more than twelve
wears ago Mr.. Wheeler was sailor on the
lakes, but getting tired of the rough life he
learned the trade Of ship carpenter, got
into lumber speculation, and IN very
short time was building vessels OF his own.
In this way ne quickly founded a hand
some fortune, and one OF the most prosper
Gus ship building businesses IN the coun-
try. He came to Congress mainly TO see
what it was like, but evidently did not in-
tend TO let 1t interfere with his private bus
mess. When the pressure came last session
10 compel all Republicans to remain IN
their seats. Mr. Wheeler stood by his col
leagues for a while. but along in August he
broke away, went home 10 look after his
business, and has not retnrncu since.
This made his colleagues, who didn I
have the courage TO do likewise, very mad,
and they are going TO get even with him
when he comes back. They have formed a
conspiracy against Mr.. Wheeler, and when
ne reappears in the House, they are going
10 insist in regarding him as an entirely
new member, and compel him TO be
sworn in again. They have their
plans all laid, and will not give
MIR Wheeler a chance 10 escape.
They will, however, present two alterna-
tive propositions, and he will have TO ac-
cept one of them on very short notice.
These propositions are, first: That be
gives his solemn promise TO set up cham
payne and terrapin supper for the whole

Immediately appear before the bar of the
House and be sworn in again. Mr.. Wheel

going 10 let him have the laugh on them.
