Want the Insurance Mems Aid.

Tho members of the fire department were
considerably interested in reading the state
ment made in The BEE yesterday that
movement was on foot to cut down
the department by decapitating ohc man
at each house. Such an announcement
was not wholly unlocked for. however, as
the men have been expecting that. the new
administration, with Its retreuchment doc
trine, would skip the fire departments IN It's
rounds with its little axe. 1t was bad
enough, they thought, when the edict went
forth that the salaries should be cut down all
around, but now when it is said that four OF
the nun Der are not TO be allowed anything
nt all for their serv cos, 1t is worse and more
of it, and the blissfu uncertainty as TO which
of them is TO be called upon to serve the city
Tor nothing or seek new pastures has
aroused an nicipation all along the line.
The members of the department have de-
termined to invoke the assistance OF the in
surance men of the city and, with this end in
view, are drawing upa paper which Is TO be
signed by the Insurance agents, agreeing
that IL the fire department Is cut down the
rates of insurance shall be showed up on
the ground that tho fire protection
would be inadequate to the needs OF the city.
The tremen reason that the quickest way to
put stop to excessive "retrepchment and
reform" is by an appeal to the pockets of
the citizens at large. Some of the insurance
men are known to be favorable to tho cause
of the dissatisfied men, while all are agreed
in saying that an inadequate fire department
would undoubtedly mean an early rise in the
fire insurance rate.

les MAJOR RICHMOND

Another sequel to the recent city cleo
ton cropped out yesterday in the
shape of a lawsuit which was COM
menced in Justice Cones court by
Dan Carrrg against Major George ii.
Richmond, the democratic candidate for city
surveyor According to Csrrigg's statement,
on the day before election Richmond
approached him and asked him for
$40 to use In some way or other to fur
ther the cause of the democratic party
when it should come up to the polls, saying
w. II. kncpher had given him authority to
draw on Carrigg for that amount knepner
was out of the city at the time, but Carrigg
took Richmond's word Tor ~ anG
gave him the amount ne asked FOR,
which was used in paying men for working
at tho polls and other things. Later on,
Carrigg claims, he found that knepher had
given Richmond no authority whatever to
draw on Currigg for the amount, and when
hc asked Richmond about IL ho ad-
mttcd that he had been mistaken when he
asked for it in KHephers name AS he had
been defeated in the contest, however,
he did not feel particularly like paying for
any Of his dead horses, and therefore begged
of from paying the amount claimed to have
been wrongluly obtained. CarriCg finally
commenced suit for the amount, and it Is set
Tor hearing next Monday morning at .
O'Clock before Justice Cones.

Binding Out Pnuper Children.

Attorney General John Y. Stone rendered
a decision yesterday in roply to a question
asked of him by County Attorney Edgar Bu-
chapan of Ida Grove, with reference
to the binding out Of children VINO
are dependent upon the county for their
support MIR. Buchanan states that in Ida
county there is no poor house, and it is de-
sirable that the children Of a woman who is
supported by the county should be bound
out. He wants to know whether the right TO
do this is with the county board of
supervisors. Tho attorney general holds
that the statutes provide that the Board of
Supervisors may bind out such children Of
the poor house as may seem likely TO be
permanent charge upon the county, but in
counties where there is no poor house he
thinks it would not have the power.
According to another provision of the
statutes, however. the clerk of the dis
trict court may bind out pauper child until
the age Of majority is reached, without tho
assent of the child or its parents. and he
knows of no provision against binding it out
in different county from its residence. He
also holds that the mayor OF the city where q
'home for the friendless" is located may
bind out a child to such home, in case Of the
death or incapacity OF It's parents.

A rather comical experience was that OF a
couple of Omaha maidens who attended a
dance Sunday night in company witL two
Council ifs young men. When they
reached their home they could not get into
the house and the young men suggestod that
they come TO this side Of the river anc they
would see that they had a place TO stop.
Nhen they reached the Bluffs both the
young men were broke" and neither had
any credit. One of them was an employe OF
middle Broadway butcher however, and
as such had free access TO the stable CON
nected with the establishment. The two
girls accordingly had TO pass the night there
or nowhere. As they were leaving the barn
early in the morning they happened TO oe
seen by the police and were arrested on the
charge OF yagrancy. At the police station
they said they were decent even though they
had been caught IN rather compromising
position. II was afterwards ascertained
that they were the daughters of respectable
parents who live il Omaha, and that they
bad merely been off on little lark without
The knowledge OF the old folks.

Will Simply Do Nothing.

There will be no silver, tariff, national
bank, public land or any other general leGls-
lation at the hands of congress, in this ses-
sion at least. This much is now conceded
upon both sides.
The wild schemes Of the democrats
in the house would never be accepted by
republican senate, and the progressive
legislation of the republican senate does
not meet the approval of tho demo
Gratis, if for no other reason, because it is in
the line of enterprise. Generally the repub-
licans strike Tor legislation to develop the
country, TO put new interests upon their
feet and look after not only the interests of
individuals, but the government. This
meuns expenditures, in some instances, ana
In others experiments. The democrats have
determined, as they did in the two past con-
crosses, to simply create Deficiencies in car
rying forward the postof1ice and other inter-
ests of the people, and saving money. They
have as tney are ooasung, passed fewer pri-
vate pension bills than have been passed
since the 'i0s. When there is another sur
plus piled up in tho treasury, at the expense
of the soldiers and citizens generally. and
enterprise has been at standstll tor lew
years, the democra ats will again make dash
for absolute free trade and point as argu-
ment for it to the surplus which has been
saved" by them. A surplus is as a scab
upon an old sore: They itch to pick it off,
and they want to do it by free trade.

STOLE MuMMY.-The Pendleton E.
0. tells Of the following very peculiar
robbery: Some months ago some curl
osities in the shape of mummified Indi-
ans were taken from the Indian grave
yard at Long Island, on the Columbia
river, near Umatilla. One, the remains
Of an Indian child about twelve years
old, was presented to DIR Smith, OF this
city. He left il in a room in tire Thomp-
son 4 Flack building, and contemplated
sending it TO medical college in the east.
A few weeks ago, when he took Will Hall
Poore OF the Irrigation Age TO view the
curiosity, the mummy turned up miss
ing. Recently pale, black eyed young
man who had hoot-black stand at the
Pantheon, left the city. Later it was
discovered by the officers that the young
man, whose name is George E Deletts,
was negotiating for .he sale Of an Indian
mummy at Portland for the handsome
sum of $3.50. So Deputy Sheriff HALEY,
who went to Salem with prisoners, cor
raled the bootblack and will bring him
back on this evenings train.
