tny on third alarm-like the Ellis hotel fire

Suppose, for example, an alarm came in
from the South Side Your recognized
headquarters are at the city hall; how
would you get to the fire if you were not
provided with private rigf'
Order out hose carriage or an engine,

'sWould it be saving to the city to have
you run these machines to a fire where they
were not needed, simply to get you therea"
1.-The run would set the horses back thirty
days, the wear and tear of the carriage or
engine would be costly, besides taking I'M
necessary chances of smash-up and of a
fire breaking out in the district where the
machines belonged. And right here can
say that by having this rig and keeping the
machines and teams in their places when
not needed in other portions of the city dur
ing a fire. l have reduced the departments

per cent during the last year."
Have you ever asked the city to furnish
the horse and buggy that you now fur

Il have not. In fact the matter has never
been put before them in the proper light, if
at all, and l intend asking the council at its
next meeting to at least meet me on half

realize the necessity of good service and
will assist me in rendering it, and / think
to ask them to meet me at least half way,
considering other cities actions, will not be
considered out of place by the council"

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-Governor Cam D.
bell in his speech last Saturday devoted
himself entirely to replying to Senator
Sherman and Secretary Foster on the silver
question. The governor showed conclu-
sively that it was Republican legislation,
and for which Republicans were response
Bile, that had caused the issue of silver
dollar worth only 50 cents in the market,
and the putting upon the people Of the coun-
try $54, DOC, 900 each year of legal tender
notes redeemable in those S0-cent dollars.
The Republican orators have been pressing
the silver question to the front in
Ohio, and they have received an answer
which will probably close their mouths
for the balance of the campaign. At East
Liverpool the hall where the governor spoke
was crowded by the paid employees of the
manufacturers there who interrupted the
governor to such an extent that he finally
turned upon them and declared that East
Liverpool was disgrace to Ohio and TO q
civilized country. The meeting in Cincln-
natl, at which 80, 600 people turned out to
greet the governor, concluSively settled the
question that Hamilton county is going to
give its whole Democratic vote to Governor
Campbell, and the leading organ Of the third
party men last week advised its followers
to vote for Campbell instead of their own
candidate as the election of one was posi-
BILE and the other impossible.
In New York the canvass is being ccon-
Quoted for the last week in most vigorous
manner by both parties. On Saturday
night, outside of the cities of New York
and Brooklyn, there We're $50 mass meet
ings addressed by Democratic speakers.
The registration is unusually large, both in
New York and Brooklyn. In Brooklyn 1t
is 1900 larger than it was in 1855. The prob
abilities are that PAS, 900 votes will be polled
in the city of New York, and 100000
in the city of Brooklyn. Of these
1885, 900 votes it is very certain that Mr..
Flower will have majority of $1,000 Some
of the Democratic leaders estimate it to be
even larger than that. In 1855 Mr.. Miller,
the candidate for governor, came to Harlem
bridge with &c. 900 majority, while Mr.. Hill,
in New York and Brooklyn, had So, 900 ma
jority. If Mr.. F'assett does not improve
very heavily on Mr.. Millers vote, Mr..
Flowers majority will not be less than
10000.
The Democrats of New York are making
as strong a movement as possible to secure
the doubtful senatorial districts, of which
there are eight or ten, where the vote is
very evenly divided, SO that they may have
the hold-over senators to vote for
Democrat in the place Of Frank Hiscock,
who now represents New York in the sem

The campaign in Massachusetts has mar
rowed down to a struggle for the governor
ship, with the present indications point
ing to the reelection of Governor Russell.
The Democratic leaders hope that the
rest of the Democratic state ticket will
also pull through, but it is hope without
faith, desire with no prospect of fulfill
ment Nothing short Of a political cata-
clysm can prevent the election Of the Re-
publican candidate for the lieutenant-gover-
norship and the minor state offices.
The Republicans claim, and some Of them
believe, that Governor Russell will be de-
feated, and they base their claim upon q
hope of getting out 10000 voters who cast
their ballots for Harrison in 1888 and
stayed at home last year. The vote
for Bracket in 1890 was $1,000
less than that cast for Harrison and
from 5000 to 10000 votes cast for Russell in
1890 were cast by Republicans. The Re-
publicans have no hope of recovering these
votes from Russell this year, and have
therefore bent their energies towards arous-
ing those of their party who stayed away
from the polls last year.

The Theater.

There is nothing out of the usual run of
dialect comedies in ''keppler'S Fortunes. -
1t gives Gus Williams abundant opportu-
mites for the exercise of his peculiar COM
built Just that way. None of its situations
are strained, and the incidents dovetail
into each other with remarkable
nicely, the speciality work occurring so
naturally that it seems part of the
play, instead of having been introduced.
The fun is of that quaint, dry humor that is
always so keenly relished and does not de-
pend upon horse-play for its success. In
fact. there is not the faintest suggestion of
anything approaching horse-play in the
piece. There are occasional flashes Of
pathos which only serve to make
the humor more thoroughly en-
joyed. The story of the play has
been published in these columns and repe-
tition is unnecessary.
Gus Williams in his German dialect work
presents a picture of a sturdy, honest old
German butcher, aid avoids the mistake so
commonly made, of burleSquing the nation
atty His work is natural, and in this eX-
emplifes the fact that it is the best art to
conceal art. His specially work
is all new, his burlesque piano playing be-
ing particularly rich bit of business His
makeup is also a study. He is supported
by remarkably clever and well balanced
company None of them are remarkably
brilliant, but they work together smoothly
and tremendously. Miss Lorraine, as Addie
keppler, is a very charming little lady and
one of the most pleasing singing
soubrettes that has yet appeared here.
She was enthusiastically encored for her
singing of THE Spider and the fly and
Mary and John" She carries her role
well, though in many cases reading her
lines little too rapidly. The remaining
members of the company are equally de-
serving of mention. ''keppler's Fortunes"
will be the bill at the matinee for ladies
and children this afternoon and again this
evening.
KAJANKA-Of Kajanka. which appears at

''Kajanka,'' the pantomime spectacle
which had such a success at Niblo's earlier
in the season, returns to that house on
Monday night for brief run. All the orig
inal features have been retained and I'M
doubtedly some original specialties will be
introduced. The Mariposa dancers are still
with the company, and will dance with all
that fervor and abandon that made them SO
famous. a,.sscss34'

Conservative Programme.
LONDON. Oct. 3O-The council Of Con-
sentative National Unionists have in pro-
cess of incubation an electoral pro
gramme which promises to outbid
that adopted at the Newcastle Liberal
congress. The circular recently issued
by the council directing the leaders of
election to make special effort to oppose
the Liberal propaganda elected appeals from
every quarter of the country for an authori-
tative platform. Conservative agents
will be sent on tour OF the
districts at the expense of the council
on application of local associations and
they will chiefly occupy themselves with
destructive criticism of the opposition pro-
jects. The Conservatives feel the necessity
of Offering a constructive political issue
which the executive of the coun-
Gil has too long delayed, mainly
because the chiefs of the party
have not yet given such final assent as will
Semi officially the platform can be stated as
follows: The cessation. with the adoption
of local government bill, of
special Irish legislation and the con-
centration of the attention of parliament
on British affairs; extensions Of popular
government by creation OF district councils;
allotment of small holdings for laborers,
q
ton for arbitration of strikes; 4 free break
fast table. meaning the lowest possible
taxation of tea, coffee and cocoa; reduction
of the duty on tobacco; vesting the power
of licensing in county councils, with pro-
vision for the compensation of publ
cans deprived of their licenses and
the introduction of bill pro-
viding for insurance against old age.
To these positive proposals must be added
the negative principles naturally belonging
to conservatism, including opposition to
church disestablishment; the mainten-
ance of UNCONVENTIONAL schools,
preservation of peers privileges
and rejection of local option
in the matter of an eight-hour work day, in
refusing to daily with which the party
leaders will be firm. The platform does
not give the electors comprehensive pros
pect of reform equal 10 that afforded by the
Liberal programme, but it is freer from fads
and more Immediately practical
Liberal organizers, convinced that the re-
suit of the election will lie largely dependent
upon the rural vote, will arrange series of
labor meetings, these eliminating in a
conference of agricultural delegates, at
which Gladstone will deliver a final
address before starting for Italy. The con-
ference will be composed of three delegates
from each rural district in Great
Britain, and it is expected that the total
number of delegates will be large.
The conference will assemble at the. ma
tiOnal Liberal club early in December to
hear Gladstone and other leaders, and
afterwards pass resolutions prepared for
them by Liberal 'wire-pullers. The Con-
servatives viii be obliged to bid high against
Liberal inducements.

Governor Eagle Was Placed on the Stand
Yesterday-Some Testimony.
LITTLE Rock, ARE, Oct. 30.-The pro-
ceeGings in the Woodruff trial were more
interesting than usual to-day. Governor
Eagle was placed on the stand early in
the morning, but contrary to expecta-
tions the state only requested him to
identify important documents filed in
his Office by the eN-deputy state treasurer.
After he had retired the encouragement
requested that he be excused as 4 witness
and be allowed to assist the prosecution in
obtaining facts relative to the case, which
was denied
Mr.. W. R. Griffith, ex-deputy state treas
urer, was placed on the stand and testified
that it had been the custom to make a
quarterly statement to the governor as to
the condition of the treasury. At the end
of the last quarter of Woodruff's term. he
neglected to prepare this statement. but did
so at the suggestion of Governor Eagles
Woodruff's term had expired. The docu-
ment was produced in court and showed
that it had been filed in the governors
office four days after the inauguration 9S
the present treasurer. 1t was signed VIZ
E. Woodruff treasurer, by Z. Griffith, dep
uty treasurer.
Treasurer Morrow was examined by the
state, but his evidence was unimportant.
Ex-senator Barker and ]. II. Schopp told
what they knew about the investigation of
Mai. Woodruff's books in 1889, both testi-
flying that his cash was all right at that
time, the legislative reports showing that
his balance was in excess of the amount
shown by the books.

Tariff on American Pork.

PARIS, Oct 3O.-In the discussion in the
senate on the tariff on imported American
pork M. Chaveau, reporter of the tariff
committee, defended the proposed duty of
25 francs as necessary to protect small
farmers. Ribot, minister of foreign af-
fairs, declared that it was impossi-
BILE for France to avoid remov-
ing her prohibition of American pork,
following the example of other countries. A
vote was taken resulting in the adoption of
the duty of PSF. The government expects
that the whole tariff bill will be passed by
the end Of this year. The salt meats bill
return to the chamber of deputies. 1t is
believed that the chamber will accept the
senate's alteration.
