self to every voter in the county.
One thing u fellows failed to
do. They only got two Of the best
paying offices in Webster, while the
Independents got five. This shows
that the Independents arc more en-
terprising and also proves their in
terest in the county seat by giving
all the best paying offices in the
county saw one. In order to have
shown a live interest in our town,
our delegates should have done
more lusty kicking. in her interest,
as 1t is the Independents got away
with both the Republicans and the
Democrats in this matter. The
Republicans and democrats thought
it proper to scatter the offices over
the county, instead of putting
everything in the county seat. OF
they had no court house
ring as did the Independents to
dictate matters, and this, probably,
accounts for the scant recognition
they gave Webster.

POLICE WINK AT CRIME.
PARKaURSTS CRUSADE BRINGS S
OUT PRESENTMENTS

The Grand Jury Unable to Account
for the Inactivity OF the Blue Goats,
Except on the Suspicion OF Corrup-
tion-Other Wicked Practices Also
Touched Upon.
NEW YORK. April 1.-The grand jury,
which has been sitting during the March
term and investigating the evidence pro-
sented by Rev. DR.. Parkburst and his
agents as to the existence of gambling and
disorderly houses. as well as general viola
tion of the excise law, without interference
by the police. brought in a presentment at
3 O'Clock this afternoon in part l of the
general sessions, before Recorder Smyth.
1t says that owing to the public charges
against the efficiency Of the police
department In suppressing and arresting
lawbreakers, the grand jury has spent con-
siderable time in Investigating such mat
ters. 1t is apparent to all that gambling
houses, houses OF prostitution and saloons
are open In violation Of the law, and that
the police are fully aware Of their exist
ence. Yet these places are allowed to exist
In open violation of the law. The only
raids made upon them are made by citizens.
POWERS OF THE POLICE.
The police rules provide that the captain
OF each precinct shall send to police head
quarters list of tha gambling and dis
orderly houses in their respective pEeclncts
Such reports are made and though the law
gives power to the superintendent TO issue
his own warrant and have his officer break
into such places without going TO
court such proceedings are not taken.
In fact there Is no appearance OF police
interference with the gambling houses,
houses Of prostitution, or saloonkeepers
who violate the excise law. From such
facts the grand jury say that the best
reasons for condeEning the inactivity of
the police are presented. They are either
incompetent TO do what citizens have done
or they are open to charges OF corruption.
The general efficiency OF the police and
their ability to cope with crime is second
to that OF no other city, and therefore the
grand jury has no alternative but to adopt
the theory of corruption as the reason for
their inactivity in the matters mentioned
THE SPIES BILL.
A second presentment was made in which
the grand jury protests against the passage
Of what is known as the Spies bill now be-
fore the legislature; recommends that the
police adopt rule by which a prisoner.
when arrested, may at onoe communicate
with his family or friends; and call atten-
tion to the publication Of adver risements
under the head Of personals" in
certain morning papers. The grand
jury also recommends that owners
be held responsible for business
carried on in their buildings, If it ba i'm
moral or Illegal. and charge that the clerk
Of the Tombs court was In some measure
responsible for the information given TO
"Dinkn Davis that a warrant was out for a
raid on his place. Recorder Smyth said
that he would call the attention OF the
proper authorities to the presentments
without delay.

greatly disappointed when they found that
their prospective victim did not arrive. The
authorities had no intention Of removing

of this, which was not until toward night,
they broke up. This morning the Ballarht

city brought ashore. An i'm

would hardly have been possible for the ex-
cited people to have taken him from his
captors. The crowd indulRed In hootinR at

HILL FOOLED THEM.
Silver Men Now Lay the Defeat Of the
Bland Bill at His Door.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The silver bill
Is believed now to have reached the stage
where nothing but funeral services are in
ORDER" says the Star. "The question Of
who hailed Cock Robin is actually being
discussed. For some reason mauy OF the
radical silver Ensn OF she Senate seem dis
posed to fix some responsibility on Mr.. Hill
for their miscalculation as to their strength.
There is no telling what reason they had for
the assumption, but some of the men who
were most active 10 getting up Mr.. Hills
southern trip haVe been assuming that Mr..
Hill was Ia favor OF free coinage
and that ne was going TO help them out In
their fighe Their first thought on finding
out that free coinage had failed was to go to
Mr. Hill tor assistance, but to their con-
sternation, they found, upon making an in
vestigation, that there was some misuuder-
standing as to Mr.. Hills position, and they
are not entirely satisfied that Mr.. Hill Is
not responsible In some way for their mis-
understanding.
HILL FOOLED THEM.
"They found that while they were count

senator he was doing everything In his
power to promote the death Of

embarrassment of having to vote for 1t in
the Senate. The state of mind in which
these southern men find themselves would
make an interesting study. They feel,
among other things, that the Hill boom in
the south was started under a misapprshen-
sion. Some of those who have
really committed themselves to Mr..
Hill find the situation rather embarrassing.
One member who has taken q more active
part in helping along the southern Hill
boom, said to Stdr reporter; There is
one thing certain, Mr.. Hill can never get

The Guard Fired on Him as He Was
Trying to Escape.
GRIFFIN, GA. April Ike Curitan, a
negro convict was shot by Guard E. W.
Duke this morning. The negro had been
told the whipping boss had been sent for to
dress him off as an April fool joke. He
said he would leave, and bade his COM
panions good morning and started on a
run across the encampment Rroulda Mr.
Duke says he ordered him TO stop, and
on his refusal fired his gun In
the air to frighten him. Failing in this
his next shot was directed at the
fleeing convict 1t took effect in his lefs
arm and side. Neither of the wounds are
serious. The negro says he told the guard
be was sick and unable to work, and for
this the guard himself, and not the negroes
as joke, told him he was going to have him
whipped. After being shot Curtain ran
nearly two miles before being captured.
The affair created little breeze when the
news first reached the city, as 1t was re-
ported that the negro was killed and THAI
the killing was done by the guard in self
defense.

LIVELY LON LIVINGSTON.
NO ONE ABLE TO TELL W6AT
PARTY He BELONGS TO.

Rumor Now Makes Him the Candi-
date for Congress of the Peoples
Party OF Fulton County-A Report
That he VIII Make Third Party
Speech at Douglasviile.
ATLANTA, GA, April decidedly ins
terestiug political rumors have been afloat
here to-day. Following as a sequal to the
Peoples party organiLati Wednesday,
and the announcement of the big rally and
joint debate between the leaders OF the demo-
Gratis and the third party at DouglaSvills
on April l3, Congressman Livingston was
the leading speaker on the programme of the
Douglasville meeting for the democracy.
He was to have been answered by Col. Post
or Representative Watson To-day, how
ever, the report was widely circulated that
Col Livingston, who has already gained
notoriety on account Of his frequent change
OF political allegiance, had determined to
throw up the democratio sponge and pin his
faith to the Peoples party.
TELEGRAM FROM LIVINGSTON.
According to the report Col. w. L. Peek
had received a telegram from Col. Living
ston saying that he would make a Peoples
party speech at Douglasville instead of "a
democratic argument. No local political
gossip indulged in up to the present stage
OF the prospective campaign has created so
much comment among all classes OF politi-
clans as this report OF Col Living
ston's embrace of the Peoples party.
It did not create surprise, how
ever. The democrats have all along ex-
pected that Col. Bivingston's profession OF
fealty TO the old party were iusinoere ana
the Peoples party men themselves have noE
exactly understood the member from the
Fifth district, and he has been mistrusted
by both sides since the st. Louis conven-
tion.
REGARDED WITH UNCERTAINTY.
Whether there is truth in the report mere
to-day or not Col. Livingston will continue
10 DO regarded with uncertainty. Col. Peek
was seen and asked about the ru-
mors but he declined to express himself, al
though he said that he hoped that it was
true that Col. Livingston would come Out
for the new party, the seed of which
was largely sown by him and Secretary
Ivey OF the state alliance. Editor Daniel OF
the Alliance Farmer and Col. Post of the
Peoples party paper were familiar with the
rumor, but did not know there was any
fact In 1t. Many prominent democrats dis
cussed Col Livingston and the rumor, and
when later in the day Hon. John b. Good
wins candidacy for congress was practically
announced, a probable solution Of the
rumor was offered. Col Goodwin is to
run as the democratic opponent of Col.
Livingston and there is very strong feeling
against Col. Livingston in the district by
both democrats and alliancemen, and 1t is
generally conceded that any good democrat
could defeat hiIn in a democratic primary.
The explanation OF to.day's rumor is that
Col. Livingston win ks the Peoples part y
candidate for congress.
