and the street commissioner ousted.
He said that two policemen and the
street commissioner should be let go,
the remaining two policemen to
alternate on day and night duty,
the day policeman to act as pound
master. There was no necessity of
maintaining, he said, a street com
missioner on II good salary; the
marshal should look after the streets

PRESIDENT elect Cleveland was
guilty. of an awful piece of political
heresy in the eyes of one-idea party
men when according to reports
he appointed Judge Walter Q
Gresham secretary of state, bat he
did exactly the right thing and set
agood example for lesser political
lights to follow. Independence in
politics is fortunately gaining ground
and the more independence there is
the better it will be for the welfare
OF the country. One feels like half
way forgiving Grover for meddIing
in the silver issue because of his
courage in this instance.

With very little dsagreeable wind
and lots of sunshine and warmth, it
is no wonder that people from the

EVERY little while Pueblo gets u

EVERY little while Pueblo gets up
an excitement on the prospects of
work commencing on the govern
ment public building, the latest
thrill of pleasure passing over the
city the first of the week when the
government architect, Mr.. '" j.
Edbrooke and an assistant made a
sudden call and inspected the loca-
tion on Main street chosen by the
commission last summer. Mr.. Ed
brooke informed the local architect
who has the contract, II. w. Cooper,
that he felt confident in saying that
the work of excavating would begin
before the latter end of March. The
prominent business men of Pueblo
predict that good times will date
from the commencement of the gov
ernmcnt building, not on account of
the money that particular piece of
work will bring INTO the city but that
it will be the signal for work to be-
GIN on many other large buildings.
Pueblo is one of the livliest cities in
the West when it does go and if the
government building is to be a
starter it can't come too soon.

He Would Drag Bessemer Into Pueblo
by Act of the Legislature.
Senator j. +. Drake has intro
duced bill in the senate providing
for the consolidation of Pueblo and
Bcssemer-an unjust measure which
has raised a storm of Indignation in
this city and Mr. Drake will find that
he has made serious blunder The
INDICATOR has not been able to pro,
cure full copy of the bill as it has
not yet been printed, but its object is
to rob the people of the right of fran
chise and by an act of the legislature
consolidate the two cities. No doubt
the Senator is acting for clique Of
Puebloans who, believing that
union of the two cities can not be
effected at this time through the
ballot have decided upon this ar
bitrary manner of consolidation.
The bill is an outrage on the
people of Bessemer IN particular, as
being the weaker city it is simply
throwing a halter about their necks
and drggging them in. The bill is
unwise, unsafe and undemocratic
also, the principle of compulsion in
volved in it being in conflict with the
sacred rights of the people. The
law governing the consolidation of
cities as laid down in the statutes
covers the case of the union of Bes-
semer and Pueblo very well, and the
conduct of Mr. Drake is regarded
here as an oflicious and unwarranted
interference IN the matter Besse-
mer is riled hot mad, and there is
considerable talk of calling mass
meeting to protest against the Drake
bill

MURDERED.

Some of the bravest men in the
Chicago Fire Department were mur-
dered at the Worlds Fair the other
day.
They were sent up into a tower
couple of hundred feet above the
earth, without ladders and without
the means Of extinguishing flames.
Below them surged a crowd of
twenty thousand people, and if it
was the desire of the Assistant Mar
shall who sent them up to make a
gallery play" he succeeded beyond
his most sangune expectations.
The feeling among business men
and among members of the Fire De-
partment over this awful calamity
is intense.
The comment is generally made
that there is entirely too much gal
ley playing among Assistant Fire
Marshals of late years.
Too many men are being killed
The applause won by marrow es-
capes" is too dearly purchased.
Meanwhile, THE EAGLE hopes that
Coroner McHale will gs to the very

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS OF

The success Of Kiralfy's spectacle,
America" at the Auditorium is ex-
traordinary. The resources of that
theater- the largest in the world
are inadequate for the accommoda-
tion Of the crowds that clamor for
admission at each performance.
The Schaffers stand at the top
notch OF popular favor, and the re-
ceptions given them during their
wonderful acts have never been sur
passed in enthusiasm. A new feat
recently introduced is perhaps the
most sklllful and daring OF all. Lit

tion of the building. Capt Murphy
and Capt Fitzpatrick knew that the
only way to fight the flames was
from the top. They must have
known the danger, but their duty
called. Computation could not be
made as TO how long the tower
would stand. 1t might have lasted
for hours aud then again not for fif-
teen minutes. The firemen bravely
took their chances. 1t was terri
bic blunder, but prompted by what
the captains mistook for their duty.
Every other building on the grounds
was built with an eye to the danger
from fire. This building was an in
vitation to it."
Mr.. Alexander is right in saving
that "it was terrible blunder."
But he makes mistake in making
Captain Fitzpatrick in any way re-
sponsible.
Fitzpatrick was only subordinate
and went up into the tower.
Murphy was the marshal in charge.

The INSULT TO SWENiE.

The City Council offered a gross
and unnecessary insult to Chicago's
great Fire Marshal at its meeting
last Monday night.
In appointing committee to in
vestigate the terrible calamity at
the Worlds Fair the Chief Fire Mar
shal was ignored, and Assistant
Marshal Murphy was placed upon the
committee to investigate the killing
of the firemen,
To say that there is suppressed in
dignation among members of the
fire department over this act is to
draw it very mildly, indeed
A great many people think that
Assistant Marshal Murphy was to
blame for sending the poor men into
that tower.
The City Council, however, puts
him on the committee to investigate
himself.

HON CHARLES S. THORNTON
Popular Aprontees Mayor Harrison on the School

One OF the Popular AppO.nteeS of
The new men on the Board of Ed
ucation are strong men. One of the
most prominent of them, Charles
S. Thornton, or as he is familiarly
known. Charley Thornton, is one of
the prominent men of Chicago. He
was born in Boston, Mass, in 1851.
His primary education he received IN
the public schools of his native city.
afterward taking the full preparatory
course in the famous Boston Latin
School. When Z years of age he en-
tered Harvard College and graduated
from that institution four years later.
In the fall of 1873 he was admitted
to practice law, upon examination,
before the Supreme Court of Illinois
and later was successively admitted
as member of the bar of the dis
trict and circuit courts and finally of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. He has been engaged contn-
uously in the practice OF his
profession since 1873 meeting with
extraordinary success. His superior
ability coupled with great power OF
application and high attainments
have won for him recognition as one
of the leaders in his profession. In
addition to the regular labor of his
profession Mr.. Thornton assumed. to
some extent the performance of pub
lie duties, having served as attorney
for the Town of Lake and President
of the Board of Education of Auburn
Park before annexation to the city Of
Chicago. In 1892 he was elected
Chicago eagle., 1893-07-15


member of the Board of Education of
Cook County, position which he
holds at this time and in which he
has become well known, too, and has
received the commendation of educa-
tors throughout the United States on
account of his services in behalf of
the Cook County Normal school. His
examination into the methods en-
ployed in that school and his reports
drew attention to the condition not
only OF that school but to the
public schools of the country, and
the present controversy concerning
the methods of study pursued in the
public schools of Chicago is the out
growth Of his Investigations last
year. Mr.. Thornton has filled the
public offices to which he has been
elected with eminentability and fidel-
ity, and in his public life has achieved
and maintained the highest esteem
of the public. In 1888 he married
Miss Jessie +. Benton ~of Normal
Park, and has an interesting family
Of three children. Mr. Thornton re-
sides in Auburn Park. In his law
business he is associated with Justus
Chancellor, Arnott Stubblefeld,
Sherley Schooler and Philip Chan
cellor, doing business under the firm
name Of Thornton < Chancellor, hav-

MIR. THORNTON,S POSITION.

Charles S. Thornton, Mayor Harri
sons nominee to succeed Fritz Goet7
on the Board of Education, EXPIRE sses
himself freely on the subject OF
special studies and "fads" in the pu b.
lie schools. With the exception OF
clay modelling, which he would abol-
ish, Mr.. Thornton thinks all the
"fads" have benefits, although he OBJ
| jects to some of them as special
studies. His views as to German are
strong. He believes the language
should be made regular study and
that pupils should begin il at as early
an age as possible.
