The Levy Court that appointed
George W, Mckee and John Dougherty
county tax collectors for the city of
Wilmington was unanimously Demo-
cratic. The gentlemen named them
selves were the creme-a-la-creme Of
the Democratic party. They were Sc
leetsd on account of their peculiar 1T
ness to succeed their illustrious prede-
oessors, John 7. Dickey and Patrick
Ncary. How they collected taxes the
first year OF their appointment is well
known. They had. however, in all
they did, the support of the Demo-
cratic. press, and the active support of
the Democratic party. Their efforts
to cheat thousands of Republican poll
tax payers out of their votes by cheat
ing the county out of the money they
owed, were endorsed in public gather
ings OF Democrats. 1t was only by
putting up with the m ost abject abuse,
and by making self-sacritices OF time
and money that the working people
OF the Republican party were enabled
to pay their taxes, and many of them
never got to pay them at all.
This was all good Democracy. The
next year the same collectors came
again before a unanimously Demo-
cratic Levy Court for re-appointment.
The Court benignly laid its hands upon
their heads, blessed them for what
they had done, commended their Dem
ocratic fidelity and re-appointed them.
They caught Tartars at last, and wish
now they had not done SO, but it was
Democratic all the same. The situa,
ton changed somewhat the last year.
The Republicans carried the county
and the Court changed hands. The
future was to DO different from the
past; and the legislature stopped the

Democratic collectors faced about ant

The future OF the sugar industry Of
the United States is very encouraging,
but 1t will surprise most people to
know that this country only produces
81, 100000 pounds Of the 5000, 900, 00o
pounds.used in the United States. Tn
der the wise provisions Of the Mekin-
hey bill slo,54o,0 600 will be paid this
year for the manufacture of sugar In
this country, of which410, 600, 0O0is paid
TO the cane sugar manufactures OF
Louisiana alone. Under a similar
bounty system Germany has come to
be the greatest sugar producing eoun-
try In the world, and there is no rea-
son why the same result may not DO
reached in this country before many
years. We now pay ss5 ,ea0, 900 for
the sugar imported into this country.
and when we raise enough Tor our
selves we will keep all this money at
home. Still Democratic opposition to
the Mckinley bill will continue all the
Same.

Central union is certainly making
struggle to be awarded the prize as the
laughter makers of the city, judging by
some of the proceedings at the meeting
held by the union at the municipal
court last evening. A special call had
been sent out to the various sub-unioDs
to meet for the purpose of considering
city salaries and making recommends
tiOnS to the Ramsey county delegation
III accordance with the request of that
august body. The first business of the
evening was the passing of various res
oluti9nS drawn up by committee, Sald
resolutions being as follows:
Resolutions to adopt an eight-hour law, to
recommend the election of all city and
county officers, including the city attorney,
to recommend a reduction of all salaries,
the abolition OF all county officers where city
officers can do the work, all officers to be
salaried, fees to be abolished and final res
olution of very lurid type censurIng Rep
resentative Nilsson for having voted against
reductions of salaries
The union then proceeded to fix the
schedule of salaries, taking each office
separately, which resulted in a lot OF
deSultory talk. One member moved to
recommend to the delegation that q bill
be passed letting out all offices to bids.
as in contract city work, the lowest bid
der TO receive the post. This NONSENSE
cal proposition was voted down by the
more sensible members present.
When the city attorneys salary was
reached gentleman of foreign eXtrae
ton made long Grafton, and said that
there were many city attorneys. for he
knew that in important suits other law
yers were engaged to help the city at
torney, including Mr.. Cole, the dis
tInguished lawyer of Faribault, to
whom he referred the members OF the
union for information. Many of the dele
gates were somewhat surprised when
informed by a reporter present that
Hon. Gordon e. Cole had been dead
some months. A deal of wrangling en-
sued upon the question of reducing sal
arieS-Some members wished to make
moderate cut, some sweeping cut,
while few showed their good sense by
explaining that unless fair salaries
were paid competent officials could not
be obtained.
When votes were taken many dele
gates refused to vote, ''as they had not
been instructed" even carrying the alb
surdity as far as refusing to vote upon
point of order. Affairs were in a very
chaotic condition, when at a late hour
the meeting was adjourned until this
evening.

Boiler Inspectors ExOnerate Him
---New Officers Chosen.
The state board of boiler inspectors
met yesterday at the capitol. The COM
mittee appointed by the governor to
investigate the charges brought against
Inspector Clark, made report fully
vindicating Mr.. Clark, and giving it as
their opinion that the charges had been
made out of spite and malice by John
FL. Lewis, who had been ''fred" from
the Inspectors Office in st. Paul for just
cause; also that the names of some of
the men attached to the complaint have
informed the board that they had
never given consent to their names APP
pearing. Although Lewis has been
notified to appear before the board yes
terday, he was conspicuous by his ab-
sence.
The board adopted a resolution rec
ommending that top valves of thresh-
ing machines be so made that the valves
cannot carry more than 125 pounds of
steam without blowing off.
AreSolutiOn was also adopted thank
ing Inspector Clark for his efforts to Sc
cure proper inspection of steam boilers.
Officers were elected by the board as
follows:
President, r. c. Clark; vice president,
W. ID. Tomlin; secretary, Charles A.
Bison. The investigating committees
are: First district, Charles A. Bison, G..
J. Miller; Second district, Charles A.

SOCIETY BRIGHTENs LENT.

The weather this season has been
rather unfavorable for sleighIng parties,
but Iatterly there have been several
very enjoyable affairs of the kind, and
none more so than that occurring early
in the present week, in which the young
people of the lower town set partici-
pated. 1t is not difficult to imagine
what jolly sort of tour could be made
behind four-hOrSe team in company
ling the following:
William Birmingham, Miss Mary j.
O'Brien; James Whitaker, Miss Susie
Rogers; Mr.. Peterson, Miss Mamie
Kelly; E. O'ConneT, Miss Maria Null
lery; William Potts, Miss Sarah Dow
Ian; Mr.. Burns, Miss Mamie Dowlan;
Logan Rogers, Miss Kate Mcintyre, and
host OF others of the same set. The
route taken was a roundabout one, in
v0lving altogether something like fif-
teen miles of distance. On the return
the party was entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Rogers. of Olive street.
The members of the Dayton Avenue
Presbyterian church rendered their
pastor, Rev. Maurice ID. Edwards, an
informal reception Oh Thursday even
ing at the church parlors as a mark of
their esteem that he was not to leave
the church and accept call from
Michigan. FelicitiouS speeches were
made by Hon. s. J. r. Mcmillan, Prof.
G. B. Scott and Miss M. Harper, to
which the pastor responded in hearty
speech of thanks. Refreshments were
served after the addresses, and an admir-
bic programme ofmuSie executed by the
church orchestra and members. OF the
choir. The affair will be long remem-
bered by the many present as memora-
bic in the history of the Dayton avenue
church.
The ladies of the Philomathean So
ciety gave an entertainment and dance
at Lifts hall last evening, the attend
ance being fully as large as at previous
events given under the same auspices.
After the usual musical and recitatiYe
programme the dance became the thing,
and it was early morning before the
jewellers retired.
The annual entertainment and exhi-
btion drill of st. Paul Camp No. Sons
of Veterans, was given last evening at
the armory to very large and interest
ed assembly. The drilling showed a
high state OF efficiency in the camp. and
the social features of the programme
left nothing to be desired.
Mrs. A. b. CleWs, of Des Moines, who
has been visiting Mrs. John Quehe, of
East Seventh street, since Friday last,
was summoned home to Missouri valley
last night by telegram announcing
the killing of her husband in the rail-
road yards at that place.
Miss May Warner, of 213 Minnehaha
street, gave tea party last evening to
about dozen young friends. The af-
fair was given to introduce Miss Elsa
Taylor, of Red 7"7t Falls, who is visit
ing Miss Warner this week.
A very pleasing entertainment was
given last evening at the Westminster
Presbyterian church by the ladies of
the Social union. The audience was
large and enthusiastic.

ret Mather company, is guest of Mrs.
