ANOTHER MILWAUKEE SENSATION.
A Loss of S3i, 900 Through Negligence In
tho Water Department.
o., .ha nianatch-l
(By telegraph 70 the DlsDatch.l

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. July p. .-Milwaukeeans
are to be treated to another sensation IN
the line of shortage in the accounts of
public departments. Mr.. Jackertz, the
expert accountant who found that the late
Secretary Schattenberg, of the School
Board. had robbed the city Of nearly, $50,
900 before he committed suicide, and that
Public librarian Linderfelt had swIndled
the city out OF SO. 800 now finds die
crepancy Of $4,000 in the metre accounts
of the water department. While the dis
covery has been known to Mayor Somers
and other CITY officials for some days IL
only leaked out last night, and all the OIL
ciais are reluctant about giving particu-
lars.
City-Engineer Benzeberg. however, adj
mits the amount Of tho discrepancy. While
he accuses no one Of stealing the money,
he says the city has lost in the last few
years ss34 ,0c0 through the failure TO make
collections and otherwise. The discovery
will be officially reported to the Common
Council ct its next meeting.

JURISDICTION or CONGRESS.
Mr. Oates then asked number OF ques-
tions, one of the first OF which was oe,
signed 10 bring out an answer that woulo
touch the jurisdiction of Congress over tne
finkerton system.
Question Have you ever furnished men
az guards to travel on trains transporting
the mails or interstate commercef
Answer Yes, sir. In the case OF the
burlington strike. and in the New
York Central strike. | think wherever
We have done strike-work for railroads.
At times we have furnished men TO ride
on the trains. They probably were armed
but 1t would depend on circumstances;
They went armed in the New York Central
strike 20 protect themselves from assau,t:
MIR. Pinkerton- said that at any time MS
men had had trouble it had always been
brought on by strikers or their friends.
They went armed only when sworn
In as law officers or when rlding
TO protect property. They never
travelled armed when being trans
ported over tho country, as, for instance,
to the Carnegie works. The arms were
generally put in the company's works:
That is added the witness, we don !,
carry armed guards through the country.
As witness had no reason to anticipate an
attack on the barges no arms were gwen 10
his men. On the contrary. he had every
reason 10 believe they would land peace,
fully at the company's works. he thought
that If the detectives had fred to kill many
more lives would have been lost, ana the
works could have been taken at that time,
but not without great loss OF life.
Mr.. Pinkerton stated that he was sworn
peace oficer-a deputy sheriff-and he
made it a rule always TO swear in his men
except in case of railroad service.
HIT AT THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Mr. Boatner having as ked how 1t was
that trouble occurred when the strikers
claimed always that they did not encourage
violence and only persuaded men not TO
work and the Plnkertons were instructed
not to use violence. Mr. Plnkerton made an
answer that hit squarely at the Knights
of Labor men present. He said that he had
never seen q strike when labor organlza-
tions or their men had not beaten
non-union men. He had seen men
Knocked of trains; he had seen them
beaten almost to jelly; he had
known members of this very Knight OF
Labor order. whose representative were
here, TO put distractions on the track and
to put dynamite under cars. He had seen
men who wanted to work treated worse
than savages 10y representatives of secret
labor organizations. aud he had seen thcm
sent to prison for it.
The Pinkertons answered all questions
| frankly and candidly.
The committee adjourned subject to the
call Of the chairman. III further testimony
touching new points is offered within 3
day or two 1t will be received; otherwise
the committee will begin the preparation
Of its report very soon.

politieaI.

The Brdttleboro Reforn,er protests
against any attempt "to belittle the
issue" by representing that the quarrel
in the democratic party in this state is
apersonal affair-a contest for suprem-
acy between Mr.. Davenport and Mr..
Atkins. The Reformer says:
Mr.. Atkins, as every one knows, is a man
incapable of temperate and courteous argu-
ment. To disagree with him is to be abused
like pickpocket 1t is 80 with republic
cans unless there is financial object other
wise. 1t has been so with democrats ever
since the ugly Breckenridge split in 1860 to
the present day, and the result has been an
accumulation Of antagonisms, necessary to
some extent with any newspaper and null
tiplied many times over by the peculiar
paper he conducts, which, because of the
position he persists in holding, all operate
against the interest of the party, not only
repelling new recruits, but constantly driv-
ing our own men into retirement and mac
tivity or dissatisfaction. Painfully was this
illustrated with the use of the patronage
under the last democratic administration.
The settlement of almost every post. office
case bred a row. Because the result of all
this has been to keep the party at a stand
still in Vermont, while on every side, east,
west and south, it has been growing to a
majority the democrats of the state are at
last aroused to belief that change must
be compelled. They have for years hoped
to see it come pleasantly by the retirement
of Mr.. Atkins, as he has so often promised,
and now they are determined to wait no
longer.
1t is unquestionably true that Mr..
Atkins supremacy in the democratic
party of this state has Injured to the ad-
vantage of the republicans. His meth
DDS, his lack of principle, his general
course in his paper, have operated by
repulsion to keep republicans in the
party ranks. Possibly as much as good
cause and management that has been
above criticism, Hiram Atkins and the
Argus and Patriot have helped to
maintain Vermont's historic republican
majority. Mr.. Atkins is, in fact,
relic of political barbarism, and the
sooner the Vermont democracy en-
balm him and lay him away in the
crypt he has been building for himself
since the days of the war when he was
copperhead Of deadliest venom, the
sooner the party will cease to be the
butt of ridicule and contempt, and
will begin TO get into sympathy with
nineteenth century sentiment.

Note and Comment.

HERE is the humorous way Mis-
souri, politician describes the method
by which Silver Dollar Bland has kept
himself in congress "Once every two
years Bland puts on liner buster and
straw hat and bitches up an old nag
he has to a breakdown carryall. He
fills his grip-sack with the speeches he
has made in congress and starts out.
He visits all the folks in the sand hills,
tells them how the money power of
Wall street is threatening to destroy
their liberties by coming right into their
district; warns them TO be on the look
out against this money power, which is
represented in the person of anybody
else who wants TO go to congress. In
about six weeks Bland comes back 10
civilization and the railroad station.
Then he does not worry the rest of he
campaign. This has been goiag on so
many years that the people out there
have brought up their children to vote
for Bland"
No man of ordinary political obser-
walton now remotely suspects that
Cleveland is possibility. The Cleve-
land people have been transformed into
ANY but Hill" crusaders. That is,
they are scattered from Massachusetts
to Iowa. Their situation is precisely
what Mr.. HIPS friends would ask.
Can they ever consolidate? On whom?
Let US look at the possibilities one by
one. Governor Russell of Massachu-
setts has already been discussed and
dismissed by common consent. He is
too young and has made no impress on
the country. Mr.. Palmer of Illinois
is over seventy years old, and com-
mands no following outside of the GER
tain republican state of his residence.
Mr.. Morrison cannot command the
united support of his own state, and
his horizontal tariff bill would furnish
the republicans with an issue ready at
hand. Mr.. Gray of Indiana has
"know nothing" record behind him
which disposes of him. Mr.. Carlisle
lives on the wrong side of the Ohio
River. Mr. Pattson lives in Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Boies is recent convert
and came over on the whiskey issue.
The only real possibility, except Mr..
Hill, is Roswell p. Flower Of New
York, and as he is the leading Hill del
egate, he disappears. When the con-
vention meets, there will be great
deal of looking around for somt body
to beat Hill But one by one the pos
sibilties will disappear before the sun
light of the one great certainty
