The Legislature.
N. o. City Item, July 5.

| N. o. City Item, July S.
The legislature will adjourn sine die
on Thursday, and then the people can
begin to take an account of the good
and bad acts they have passed, and es-
pecially the many reform measures
which were promised but failed to
reach the stage of perfection given by
performance Though the legislative
work is not yet finished and the smoke
is not lifted from what has been done
there is no good reason to expect there
will be much when all is told.
The policy of the administration, SO
far as Gov. Foster has shown anything
definite or sympathetic, is waiting
one 1t is interpreted by his friends
to mean: Just wait till this Legisla-
ture gets out of the way, and we shall
see what can be done in two years by
the practically arbitrary power of ap-
pointment which the law gives the
Governor. One of the places he will
seek to fill is that of United States Sen
ator, which will, of course, add to the
budget the secondary political prize
of the State succession, to be promised
to many and given to the most deserv-
ing of course, from the faetional stand
point.
And it is for this.Tesnlt that the peo-
pie of this State conducted a long and
expensive campaign during which they
formulated plan of relief to tax-bur
dened property owners, only to be de-
feated by outside influence. What has
been given US to compensate the loss
of million and a quarter of dollars
a year? Is it the unimpaired 'houor
and manhood of Louisiana 7n If so,
where is that honor who hath it
Why as usual, she who died o. We'd
nesday."
The people have lost all they strove
for, and much that was promised them
in behalf of the so-called better plan,
in which they had small confidence; {;
yet, as the sequel proved, to much for
their own good. They have two or
three years of dull drudgery befere
them. during which every energy of
the administration and its appointees
will be bent to find successors for Sen
ator Gibson and Gov. Foster, and that
is about the sum and substance, the
beginning and the end of the reforms
effected by the campaign which ended
on April 10 and in the subsequent
court
This is not so much cause for des-
pair as IL gend reason for the firm re-
solve 10 be more cautious next time.
1t should at least teach us to beware
of all self--reking politicians who pro-
fesS to I've far wiser and more virtuous
than the people.

THE HOWARD GLIB

An Enthusiastic Meeting at Twentieth
and J streets Last Evening.
One of the largest and most enthusiastic
local meetings OF the present campaign
occurred at Twentieth and J streets last
evening. Only yesterday morning a few
OF Nj. A. Howard's friends conceived the
idea of forming a Howard Club. Word
was passed along the line and at S o'clock
in the evening more than 100 voters in
the district assembled at the store of NJ.
Brennan and signed the roll to march in
the procession on the Sd OF November
under banner bearing this inscription ::
IN. a. Howard for Supervisor Of the
Third District; Honest in His Convictions
for the Right; True to His Pledges, and
Having At all Times the Interest OF His
FRIENDS and the Taxpayers of the City at
Heart; Tried and Not Found Wanting;
Il Man of and for the People, and the
Choice of the Third District, and Particu-
larly OF the Members Of the Howard
Club"
The meeting was called to order by NJ
NJ. Glenn, who briefly stated the object
in view, namely, that of forming a club
to march in the procession on the even
ing of the Sd of November and carry the
banner for the choice Of the Third Su-
pervisOral District, NJ. A. Howard.
A temporary organization was then eff
fected by calling Lincoln White to the
chair. n. A. Spurgeon was appointed
Vice President, Sam Williams Treasurer
and Al Hapeman Sergeant-at-Arms.
A committee of three, consisting of +.
Phillips, Silas Chance and Henry Maltby,
was appointed by the President to select
a suitable uniform Tor the members OF the
club and attend to the financial part of the
work.
As the purpose of the club was to pa
rade, the selection of qualified officers
was the next in order. c. n. Foote was
elected Captain OF the club, William
Beckett First Lieutenant and j. II. Harris
Second Lieutenant.
Many things were said by members of
the club as to why every taxpayer in the
district should cast his vote for NJ. A.
Howard.
1t was determined to hold the next
meeting of the club at 1870 Tuesday even
ing, at the same place, when all arrange
ments will be completed for the Howard
Club to parade.
Just as the club was about to close,
NJ. \. Howard made his appearance and
was thoroughly and happily surprised to
find such a gathering OF his friends. He
addressed those present, pledging his
fealty to the Republican party and his
friends, and remarking that his past
record should be a guarantee OF his future
course.
one hundred and fifteen members
signed the roll and pledged themselves
for NJ. a. Howard.
The Howard Club expects to grow to
considerable proportions and be feature
Of the parade on the Sd of November.

CLEAESED By FIRE.
About the Last Of the I-Street Rock
cries Swept Away.
Fire Hydrants Plugged With Mud As
sist in Their Destruction-The
Loss Is Small.

About the last lot of old wooden build
ings on 1 street were swept away by fire
shortly after midnight last night.
The fire started in the basement of the
one-story structure on the northwest
corner of Third and I streets, but it was
several minutes before an alarm was
sounded, the Chinese contenting them
selves with gathering in groups and
blowing police whistles.
When the firemen finally reached the
spot the flames were well under way and
dense volumes of smoke and half-clad,
half-smothered Cinnamon were pouring
from doors and sidewalk openings.
The street awnings caught the flames
as soon as they reached that hight and
carried them along down the front Of the
entire row of rookeries, for some eighty
feet. About each fifteen feet vas occu-
pied by different parties. One was a
IOdging-house, another a restaurant, an
other an opium den, butcher shop, and
so on.
The firemen were unable to get any
water for nearly ten minutes, owing To
the hydrants being plugged with mud so
thick that it would not run through a
sluice-boX, let alone a fire hose.
What little water il was possible to get
finally from the chief main in the city,
and but two blocks distant from the
Water Works, was not enough 10 do
much good, beyond enabling the tiremen
to save some coal ears standing in the
street in front Of the burning buildings.
IS 1t not about time the city employed
some one to look after the hydrants and
see that they are kept in condition for use? ?
This thing OF having no water when fires
break out must be getting monotonoCs TO
property and insurance COM
panies.
The Cinnamon. in their haste to escape,
left their ammunition behind, and every
minute or so there would be an eXplo-
sion. Some Of the inmates were evidently
well 'heeled; Tor emergencies.
The property belonged to L. L. Stein
man, and was insured.

ADJUSTMENTS.

A fine house at the Metropolitan greeted
Isabel Coe. great favorito here, and a
lady commanding the respect Of all who
know her, in the charming, cleanly COM
edy and satire given by Abbott q TeaPs
company, entitled ''Niobe." 1t is ira
vesty upon the poetic drama "Pygmalion
and Galatea," and as low comedy such
a success as theater-goers see but rarely.
In 'Pygmalion and Galatea" the statue
is given life in response to the appeal Of
the sculptor to the gods. In "Niobe' the
statue is given lie in the house of mat
ter-oi-tact business man of to-day, by the
touch Of an electric wire. In the idyl the
sculptor is amazed and Overioyed; in the
comedy the unfortunate man Of affairs is
overwhelmed with fear, and the problem
''what to do with her."

ROCHESTER, On. ", Oct. 27.-Master
Workman James Hughes of the Clothing
Cutters Union, who has determined to
take his case to the Court Of Appeals, and
who has been released from custody on
S., 600 bail, to-day made statement ex-
planning his change of front. He said he
was willing to lie in Jail even until after
election, believing Governor Flower
would respect the wishes of the organ
lied wage-workers of New York and ex-
tend executive clemency to him as he de-
served. Night before last, however,
Sheriff Davey came to him and told him
the Monroe County Democrats had raised
SO much opposition that he would not be
allowed TO let Hughes see any more OF
his friends. and should have to treat him
as an ordinary maleiactOr.
Hughes says this incensed him, and he
ordered counsel 10 make application for
an appeal and bail, which was done. lie
was sorry to think the Democratic man
ayers in Monroe County forced him to this
extreme position, but i'll taking it he is
satisfied he took the only course left him
to Justly rebel against any oppression or
contemplate means being used by any
body, be they Democrats or Republicans
Sheriff Davey told him, he asserts, that
the Dem Ocratic managers would complain
to Governor Flower and attempt to have
his commission as Sheriff revoked be-
cause he was courteous enough to show
Hughes the consideration he did.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

They VIII Probably Visit Sacramento
on Thanksgiving Day.
It is quite likely that Sacramento will
be visited by the University students in
a body on Thanksgiving Day.
1t has always been customary for them
to visit some city on that day, and never
having had the opportunity of visiting
the Capital City, they have written to
prominent citizens asking if arrange
ments could be made for some kind OF
entertainment for them during their visit.
The idea was suggested TO have them
come up and have a friendly game of
baseball during the day and an athletic
exhibition at Ihe Athletic Club in the
evening. Mr.. Stafford, Manager of the
Scott 4 Gilbert Baseball Club. says if
the matter is left TO him he viii endeavor
to give them one of the best entertain
ments they have ever received in any
city on their annual trip, and it is proh-
able that he will if he undertakes it. Ac-
cording TO his programme there viii be a
Ball game in the afternoon and a ball
and exhibition in the evening.

and another across an island to look on
the other side. They crossed and discov-
cred in the distance three masts rising out
OF the sea. They were nearly exhausted,
and knowing if they told the commander
OF their discovery lie would go to the
place, they decided that it would be bet
ter not to tell him. for they feared the
starvation Of the entire party in the event
OF the delay. Accordingly they returned
and reported having found nothing. The
next day the expedition started on the
return. The Indians are certain the masts
belonged to one of Franklin's vessels.
