THE FIREMEN's CIRCUS.
The Administration Gains Its Point
Through the Firemen's Lack
of Sand

At the firemen's mass meeting at the
Turner hall club rooms last night, some
seventy-ive firemen were present. Capt.
Duerler, chief of the volunteer depart
ment, was in the chair, with Mr.. Ben.
j. Mauermann, foreman of the hook and
ladder company, as secretary. Foreman
ThoS. II. Abbott presented the report on
organization, which the foremen of the
various companies were instructed to
formulate. The report in the main was
for a chartered beneficial and social or.
ganization. The report was received and
it was decided to act on 1t by sections.
The question of the funds was the cause
of considerable discussion, and was final
ly disposed Of by leaving it to the old
board of directors to settle as they deem
ed fit. The question of organization
came up for discussion.
1t was evident that the meeting was for
organization, but the friends and support
erS of the Callaghan faction were deter
mined to prevent the firemen from
organizing any such an association, and
succeeded in delaying the matter OF
voting in the question considerably. Inc
climax was reached when it was insisted
upon to again read the report presented.
Here Secretary Mauermann arose, with
resident and stated that at meeting
Of the company foremen, the report had
been decided upon, and he carried out
their instructions. When the report was
ready for their signatures, every one Of
them, except Foreman Billy Freeman and
himself, backed out. He was Disguised.
If this matter was to be made something
laughable and ridiculous, this was all he
had to say, and he tore the paper to shreds.
The motion TO adjourn was then sprung
and quickly seconded by some admins
tratiOn man. vote was taken and Chief
Duerler, after second call for the vote,
counted the ayes and nays and declared
the circus over.
The old board of fire directors stands in
favor of dissolution, and the money mat
terS having been left to them, the funds
will probably Re distributed, pro rata, to
the various companies.

tacks.

HOW 1T WAS DONE IN KANSAS.
Democrats and Republicans Rejoicing

Democrats and Republicans Rejoicing.
TOPEKA, KAN, Nov. 1O.-The result
of the political contest which closed
in Kansas on the night Of November Sd
has already been felt in commercial
circles throughout this State. Incl
dents occurred on the principal streets
of Topeka and in other cities and towns
of the State the day after election
which were never witnessed in any
other State Of the Union. Leading Re
pubIicans and Democrats rejOiced alike
in the defeat of the Alliance party.
They would grasp II anOther's
hand and congratulate themselves and
the State over the downfall Of the com
mon enemy. The Democrats got very
little out of the election, but they were
reioiced hat the other fellows who had
swallowed up the biggest end of the
country Democracy were drowned.
Thousands Of Democrats quietly voted
the Republican county ticket to beat
the Alliance and thousands of Republic
cans as willingly voted for Democratic
Judges to defeat the fellows who de
clared hat the rights Of the user
were paramount to the rights of the
owner.
WHAT H DEMOCRATS
Just what the Democratic party got
out Of this contest is a question that is
agitating their leaders. 1t is estimated
that the Democracy proper did not poll
over 30, 900 votes. In many counties
the leaders declined to nominate
tickets. In such contingency the
Democrats living in the country voted
the Alliance ticket and those living in
the towns voted with the Republicans.
Then there were nominations made in
counties where the ticket received less
than 200 votes. This was done to
please Democrats who would not vote
either the Republican or Alliance
ticket, but who were willing to sacrifice
their votes if it would help the Repub-
licans to beat the Alliance.
The extracts above quoted from a
letter in the Washington Star, show
how the fight was made in Kansas. In
the partisan press the result in that
State has been heralded as a Republi-
can victory and that the Alliance there
sis going all to pieces" when the truth
is, it was a Democratic Republican
fusion, and the Alliance vote proper
was ten per cent. stronger than it was
in 1890. But is there not a general
understanding all along the lines of the
two old parties that the people shall
not hear the truth? The peoples vote
in Ohio was first announced as eleven
thousand and now it is conceded to be
thirty five thousand. The two old par
ties fusing to defeat the people! Well,
no one in this office is surprised at it.

taken away at any time one nation
needs it worse than another. The truth
is, all the gold and merchandise has
gone to pay interest on alien invest
ments, and if it ever comes back it will
be in the shape of loans to bear more
tribute and make necessary more ship
ment5 Of the same character. The
United States having refused to furnish
its own people with a sufficient volume
of money to conduct their various en-
terprises, they have been compelled to
go to the alien for it. AS a natural
consequence tribute for it's use must be
paid. 1t is the payment of this useless
tribute that sends the gold and grain
abroad in such immense quantities.
