There has been some difficulty in

that it will be an addition and credit

SII6Q Gnu.
How would it strike the people of
Great Bend to call a mass meeting for
the purpose of placing in nomination
candidates for mayor, justices of the
peace, and police judge? Of course it
would not be in accordance with the
plans of the republican managers, who
will assume to take charge of the city
election; but it would be a good way
to get an expression from the gene. al
public, regardless of politics. Unless
the more liberal minded and pro-
gressive citizens of the city take some
such steps, the same course that has
been pursued in the past will be fol-
lowed, and the average citizen will
not have word to say about who he
prefers for city officers. The republi-
can machine will call their caucuses
and run them; will portion out the
places to the men whom the few select.
and when it comes to election day the
rank and file will trot up to the polls
and vote any ticket that happens to be
republican. A lack of interest on the
part of those who do not think poll
tics should enter into city election,
permits the ''gang" to run city cleo
tions just about as it sees fit.

The Senate And The Repeal
Bill.

According to the Washington
dispatches, Senator Voorhees,. who
has all along acted as the admin
istration leader in the Senate i'll
pushing the repeal bill, has de-
manded all-night sessions, begin
ming next week, the object of this
being apparently to force an ear
ly vote on the repeal bill. The
long delay has apparently exhaus-
ted the patience of the advocates
of repeal, and they are now deter
mined to take radical steps to
bring the minority to terms.
The resort to all-night sessions
will undoubtedly compel the sill
yer people to adopt fresh tactics,
and it is a question whether they
will be able to indefinitely resist
determined effort on the part of
the majority to pass the repeal
bill. 1t is clear that the Senate
is becoming restless at the pro-
tracted debate, and there is a bare
chance that the resort to all-night
sessions may compel a vote, in
spite of all efforts used to delay
action.
The country has become. hearth
ly disgusted with the long delay
and the proftless debate, and
would welcome decision, no mat
ter of what character, as far pre-
ferable to the suspense which has
been endured for many weeks
now. 1t is felt on all sides that
the tactics pursued in the Senate
have checked business develop
ment, and have prevented the
country from recovering as rapid
ly from the financial panic as ii
was hoped would be the case.
Although business interests still
hope that the repeal bill may
triumph, there is a general desire
to see the suspense over, hence a
radical move in the way of fore
ing the issue would be generally
welcomed, no matter what the re-
suit might prove. .-Picayune.

The Colored Peoples Friend.

A bit of gossip from the nation
al capital is TO the effect that Sc
cretary cf the Interior Hoke Smith
is becoming known as the colored
mans friend. 1t is said that, of
all the Cabinet ministers, he Is
the one who listens with most pa
tient ear to the prayers of the CO.
lored citizens for official favors.
While he has not been able to ap-
point many of them to important
offices, large number have found
employment in minor positions
throughout the bureaus of the In
terror Department. The colOred
men are as much surprised as de-
lighted at this show of friendiness
on the part of Secretary Smith,
for they had looked for little en-
couragement from him, naturally
supposing that a man from the
South would be found anything
but friendly to theic race.
This incident only illustrates
the fact, we'll known to all who
are really informed as to the con-
dition of the colored race, that the
only genuine friends they have are
among the Southern people. The
Southern people understand the
negro and know how to treat him
1t has always seemed strange to
those who do not understand the
situation that the negroes, after
the civil war and the re-establish
ment of white supremacy in the
South, did not flock in vast mum,
bers te their friends in the North
with whom, as they had been told
they could live on terms of socia
equality. Those who tried the
experiment quickly realized how
idle were such dreams and how
false such representations. The
result of their experience is thai
the colored people prefer to stay
where they are. They may occa
sionally be deceived into emigra
ting to a new territory, like Okla,
homa or the Cherokee Strip, bu
they never 60 into the Northern

Superintendent Hughes of the New
City Hall Resigns - PROPOSE
tions to Roof the Hall.

j. E. 0'Donnell, special counsel to the
Finance Committee of the Board of Super
visors, yesterday presented to the commit
tee number of reports on The bail bonds
accepted in the Police Courts (taree depart
ments) during the present municipal admin
istraii0n. He notes mat there are several
cases where professional bondsmen and
Police Court attorneys have taken advan-
tage of the ineXpeTience Of the newly
installed clerks 10 60 on bonds. None of
the bonds seemed to have been passed
upon; that is, there is nothing in any bond
to show that the proper referee has exam
iped the same.
Mt. O'Donnell suggested that a proper
form Il bond be printed and placed in inl-
mediate use. The committee adopted Mr..
O'D0nnelPs recommendations and ordered
Clerk Russellsto direct their enforcement
The committee spent time in hearing the
attorneys interested in the completion of
the proceedings for the opening of Van
Ness avenue.
1t was argued that the SIO,S56 awarded
by the courts must be paid out Of the city
treasury, or a new assessment be levied on
the property benefited by the opening.
The committee took the matter under
advisement
At the meeting of the City Hall Commits
sioners yesterday Superintendent of Con-
structlon Hughes resigned. No available
successor being in sight the matter went
over.

has such calm, strong face. you know, and
looks as II she knew billions of interesting
secrets, but would never rever, never tell e
single one of them. Now, Pm dreadfuly
talkatiye and IL worries me. | tell things |
ought not to tell, and get into worlds Of
trouble. Really every Saturday night when
| look back over my week Of reck less con-
yersation, | cannot understand why | am
not in the penitentiary or some other place
of reformation.
"But since l happened on this sphinx
idea have hopes of myself. | have dozens
Of her pictures in my bedrOom-large ones
of Vedder's, Jerome's and RossettPs-and

abiding that | will learn to control my ten

all my garTulity at once, but il will help me

that she believed she would make a collec-
