against proposal to rob the majority
of its rights and give five men the power
to defeat the wishes Of foriy-five.
When this failed and the bill became
law the combine refused to 30 into
Joint convention, although repeated in
vitations to do so were extended by the
common council. The change OF heart
last night is therefore one of policy only.
1t is due without doubt to the fact
that the municipal election is but a
short time off. The members OF the
West combine. like other politicians.
have a wholesome dread of verdict by
the people as expressed at the polls.

A CHANGE OF HEART.

The adjournment Of the board of al
dermen to next Monday evening in
sures a meeting of the city council in
joint convention and the election of an
inspector Of plumbing.
That this action is satisfactory TO the
West combine is to be doubted. This
coterie Of politicians, without valid rea-
son and with no excuse save that Of par.
tisan interest, delayed for months the
passage Of the plumbing ordinance, and
later the election OF an inspector.
Their original purpose was to amend the
bill so that the election should bc by
concurrent vote instead Of by the joint
convention, but the scheme failed,
as 1t ought TO have done. There were

THE PEOPLES DEMAND.

The people of this country now de-
mand Of the law-making power that it
refrain from making any laws affecting
the tariff.
Nothing could be palmer than this.
The whole country prospered last year,
when the present tariff laws had begun
to manifest their beneficent power for
good.
This year has been one Of the hardest
that the country has ever known. The
chief reason for the hard times is the
uncertainty regarding the tariff. Last
year it was believed that there could
not be change enough in the composition
of congress to permit Of change Of the
tariff for several years at least. But
the change came and with it the distrust
in all lines of business that has paralyzad
the country and brought it to the verge
of bankruptcy and starvation.
The hearings given by the ways and
means committee of the house have
demonstrated that there is great pub
lie demand that the tariff be let alone.
This demand has come strongest from
the Democrats Of the South, who are in
a position to declare that change of
the tariff system would ruin their
section.
There is absolutely no demand for the
revision of the tariff that merits to be
called either popular or considerable
enough to expect consideration.
The ways and means committee has
had it demonstrated to it that there is
no demand for the revision of the tariff,
but that a change, such as it is under
stood it contemplates, would re-
suit IN terrible hardship for almost the
whole body of the worlSingmen OF the
country as well as the absolute ruin of
a very large percentage Of business.
Yet it is apparent that the Democrats
are going ahead with the labor of pre-
pairing bill on the tariff just as though
there had not been the avalanche of
protest hurled upon it.
Whenever there Is scheme on foot 10
cause loss to the country, or to bring
disgrace upon it, the Democrats can be
relied upon to do jealous and untiring
work.

v
The acquittal of Asa p. Potter. presi-
dent of the wrecked Maverick bank Of
Boston, by order Of the judge Of the
federal court Of appeals, ends the first
and most important chapter OF most
remarkable affair.
The wrecking of the Maverick bank
in the light Of the facts that the charges
of criminal acts brought against its
officials could not be sustained and that
the bank has paid 100 per cent. to its
creditors, was apparently useless piece
of financial vandalism.
Two district attorneys have labored
zealously to convict Mr.. Potter, and
both have failed, chiefly because they
could not prove the allegations upon
which the indictments were drawn.
Judge Putnam once ruled that the in
dictment against Mr.. Potter was loosely
and faultily drawn. aud threw the case
out of court, and again instructed the
jury to find the defendant not guilty be-
cause the government had conspicu-
ously failed to prove its case.
The history of this case Is replete with
interest, and interesting theories. 1t is,
for example, claimed by a large faction
that the whole process of running the
Maverick bank was the result OF bust
ness jealousy. Certain bankers OF
Boston were displeased with the vigor-
GUS growth of the Maverick and deter
mined to wreck it ut all hazards. This
seems strange, almost preposterous,
theory, but has much to support 1t.
The raid that was suddenly made upon
the Maverick seemed at the tims un-
necessary, and is now shown to have
been unjustified, as the bank has met
its obligations in full in liquidation.
There is another theory, seeking to ac-
count for the failure of the prosecution
of Mr.. Potter. 1t is alleged that the
present administration took up his cause
and, through the kind offices OF Hon.
Frank Jones of New Hampshire, the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Olney by the president
as attorney general, the appointment OF
Mr.. Sherman Hoar as district attorney
has connived at the escape OF Mr.. Pot
ter from the tolls of the law.
Neither of these theories are such as
good citizens like to accept. 1t is not
in the general interests of business to
have one portion of business combine
to wreck another. 1t is opposed to all
principles of good government to manip-
ulate official appointments for the pur-
pose of obstruciing, or even directing,
the course Of justic,.
From whatever point Of view 1t is
approached the Maverick bank affair is
lamentable blow upon the fair bust
ness record of the city of Boston, and it
seems all the more lamentable now that
1t appears that the bank was not insol-
vent and its wrecking was not inevita-
BILE or necessary.

Property and Human Lives Sacrificed -
Prairie Fires.
GUTHRIE. o. T., Sept. 22-The scene of
the recent terrible prairie fires on the
Pawnee reservation is one of devastation.
Scattered all over the prairie are partially
burned wagons, burned camp outfits and
charred remains of household goods. and
here and there the body Of q horse.
For miles and miles, as far as the eye
can reach, It is q black waste, and to add
to the horror of it all, in a number OF
places are found blackened and burned
human trunks. There is no clue whatever
to the identity of these unfortunates. The
dust storm continued all day with un-
abated fury, and hundreds are leaving
every town of the strip, unable to stand
the hard ships any longer. At Perry the
dust is thickest, and all business Is sus-
pended. Yesterday the suffering inhabi-
tants sought refuge from the blowing sand
