BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

The meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last evening gave considerable impetus
to the work of the Highway Department.
Several streets were ordered curbed and
have sidewalks established thereon. The
curbing OF streets should be done in all
cases where possible, as it tends to put
the street in such repair that it is easier
to maintain it in good order than when
only graded.
There was considerable business intro
duced, all Of which was appropriately re-
ferred TO the proper committees.
The Water Commissioners ask for an
extra appropriation OF 81, 900 for the con-
struction account. II may be said right
here that there is no economy in with
holding such an appropriation, il, in tie
judgment of the City Council, the extern
sions are to be made where they will yield
fair percentage for the outlay involved,
or are needed for protection.
The message of the Mayor showed
clearly the false position assumed by the
City Council during his absence from the
city one week. lie very calmly told the
Board that it was either the victim Of
ignorance OF the prope; mode Of pro-
cedure or OF bad advice, and he inclined
TO the latter view. The Mayor advised
that any action heretofore taken, il the
Board desired it to be operative, should bc
re-enacted.
The majority members did not TAX,
kindly TO this advice, however, and to,
wards the close of the meeting Alderman
Adams offered a resolution restoring L
duty the ten newly elected police ofiicer
under suspension without loss OF pay
The Mayor properly refused TO entertain
the motion TO adopt that resolution ant
advised that action be taken seeking tn,
opinion OF the Supreme Court on the
legality OF the questions involved.
Alderman Adams ordered Alderman
Davis to put the motion, but the Third
Ward official thought the Mayors sugos.
tion was the most sensible one and h,
moved that the City Solicitor be in
structed to procure the opinion of th,
court.
This was the wisest course. A decision
can be readily reached through Governo
Brown and then the matter will be settle,
suthoritatively.

THE HOMESTEAD AFFAIR.

Yesterday, at Homestead, Pa, eleven
iron workers and ten Pinkerton detectives
were killed, and scores were wounded.
One OF the principal causes OF the awful
carnage was at the time snugly enjoying
the luxury OF his castle in the hills OF
Scotland, 1900 miles across the sea.
1t was well for the personal safety Of
Andrew Carnegie, the high tariff apostle
OF the Republican party, that he was not
at the scene OF the fierce conflict.
In our news columns Will be found a
graphic description Of the bloody battle
and OF the surrender OF the Pinkertons.
In order to enable Carnegie to live
sumptously at Cluny Castle and keep
tally-ho coaches in which TO entertain
distinguished Americans favorable 20
the policy of protection by which he Is
enabled to rob the poor laborcr and en-
rich himself, men are slaughtered in cold
blood for resisting the hated Pinkerton
forces.
II is almost unnecessary to say that the
Pinkerton detective OF the New England
States and the Pinkerton man of Penn
sylvania are as different as day is to
night. The ordinary citizen Of this
locality has no conception of the blood
thirsty character of the thugs employed
In the capacity of Pinkerton men in
those places.
The strikers offered their services as
deputies to the Sheriff to preserve the
peace but were unceremoniously re-
fssed.'
The treatment of the Pinkerton men
after their surrender is to be doplorod but
what could be expected from people whose
fathers, brothers or sons were shot dead
or mortally wounded, not by people in the
line Of duty, but by hired assassins, under
the cover OF Pinkerton detective badge?

THE BRANDY DHTllrER.

There is said TO be JOY in heaven over q
sinner who repenteth, and there must be
great jubilation in the Prohibition para
disc over the nomination for President
by that party OF brandy disiller who
abandoned the business.
Gen. Bidwell, of California, has the
reputation OF being an excellent citizen.
Neyert heless 1t seems like the irony OF
destiny that he should be the candidate
of the Prohibition party for President
OF the United States, after having amassod
a fortune by the manufacture and sale
of brandy and wine on the Pacific coast.

END OF THE WORLD"

Lieut.. G. i. A. Totten, U. S. A.,
whose articles on the end of the
world recently appeared in Leslie's
Weekly, is probably one of the deep
est thinkers of this age. He is not a
religious crank, like other prophets
of woe who have come before him.
1t is not known if he inclines toward
any Christian sect. He fails to see
fire and birthstone in the end of the
world. He simply sees the develop.
ment of the human mind as il un-
ravels things that were heretofore
deemed incomprehensible mysteries
that should not be tampered with.
He thinks the time is near at hand
when man will have unsolved the
mystery of his own creation. The
awakening will come like breath of
air as this planet dashes through
space to another planetary system.
According to his calculations, which
are based on astronomical precedent,
the earth will leave its present axis
at the close of this century.

rounds, being the offer of Japan

people of Las Vegas have embraced
the scheme unhesitatingly and are
wearing out good shoe leather in
search of old stamps in the waste
baskets of the business houses all
over town. If the st IMP collectors
should pause to consider the full sig
nificance of a "million," and estl-
mate the length of time it will prob
ably take for the average young per-
son to accumulate l,0O0,000 stamps,
their ardor would visibly increase.
Suppose that you gather 900 stamps
each week, which is a good many.
At that rate you'd be 90 years, earn
ing the 800 prize. Should you de-
vote ten hours of every working day
to the job it would be necessary to
collect 32O4 stamps every hour for a
year to get the 800. One does not
realize how really profitable is the oc-
cupation of saving wood until this
stamp collecting problem is studied.
