MEN OF OUR STANDINC ;,

MEN OF OUR STANDING.o
 We were deeply disappointed the other evening because Messrs. Graves, Plunkett and Hemingway did not initiate Cincin- natus. We felt that they could both i'm press and instruct their fellow citizens by being seen blowing on their farms by cleo trio light while trusty messengers sought them bearing nominations on silver plat ters. We would not have complained If they had thought 1t necessary to do their blowing in their front yards so that the messengers wouldn't have had to hunt for them, but it did hurt our feelings to see them entirely unmindful of Cincinnstus. It seemed to us that while they didn't fail to grasp the nominations they did fail to grasp the noble and picturesque possibili- ties of the situation. But we were little cheered yesterday morning when we read what MT. Plunkett Raid to Palladium reporter who humbly asked him If there could by any possibility be any truth in the bsse assertion that he and Messrs. Graves and Hemingway had made a 'desr In order to help themselves be reelected. Whatsoever failure there was in ssizing fine opportunity before there was none on this occasion. Striking an attitude of conscious power and recti- tude MT. Plunkett said: "Men of our stand ing do not have to make deals of that kind" "Men of our stsnding" What a wealth of responsibility, dignity, honor, civic and private virtues is delioately hinted at in that modest phrase.
 Is 1. true that Messrs. Graves ard Plunkett are all there is to the Board af Education, This charge has been made and they and their friends are ap parently trying to support it by their foolish talk about the necessity of keeping them in office. Are not Messrs. Holcomb, Avis, Whitney, Sheridan and Asher good for somethingi And couldn't Messrs. Betts, Moran, Morgan and Thompson be relied on to do business in business fashiona We think they could. They couldn't possibly be any more dila- tory and hesitating and shifty than MT. Graves has been, and they would not be than both he and MT. Plunkett have had. "Men of our standing" in effect gay both Messrs. Graves and Plunkett, can't be spared. If 1t has come to that, what Is the need of having Board of Educa.ioni Why not turn the whole business over to the two men of such standing and let them do what they please with itl

MADE A $500 HAUL.
Burglars Raid the Residence of a
G-Street Family.
Articles Valued at About $500 Stolen
While the Inmates of the
House Slept.

The residence of E. Gum at Ills G.
street was entered by burglars at an early
hour yesterday morning, while the fam
lily slept, and despoiled of iewelry and
money to the amount of about $500.
From bureau in one of the upstairs
rooms were taken new gold watch and
chain worth $3.50. some gold cuff buttons
and rings and S35 in money.
The thief or thieves left behind them in
the same box from which thei articles
were taken several diamond rings, ear
rings and other pieces of jewelry. These
were not overlooked, but were purposely
left in the box for some reason.
The supposition is that the burglary
was committed by some boys who have
lately been engaged i'll acts of thievery
about the city, and that they feared it
would be a more difficult matter to dis
pose of the diamonds than the articles
stolen. More experienced thieves would,
it is thought, have preferred the dia-
monds, as by removing the stones from
the settings Identification OF the jewels
would be practically impossible.
The suspected lads are known to be
very bold and cunning operators, and the
police have had their eyes on them for
some time, but have not been able to
catch them at their work. 1t is doubtful
if any of the stolen articles will be found
in their possession, in case the youngsters
are caught, as they are up to many OF
the tricks of the profession, and have
doubtless either hidden or disposed of the
stolen goods 10 older criminals.

drainage expenditures, the same as were
abe defendants.
The testimony shows that said drain
ago was greatly beneficial to the defend
ants.
The defendants having neglected and
refused to pay the last assessment, or ap-
porHonment, now deny their liability,
upon the ground that under the drainage
agreement of the 18th of February, 1889,
the plaintiff had no authority TO do any
thing except TO let out a contract for the
drainage of the lands to John w. Ferris
or some other competent person.
An examination of the several written
protests OF the defendants will show what
the oral testimony also shows, that they,
IKE all the other owners, had acqulesced in
the work being done by the trustees, and
nad fully recognized the necessity which
lnpelled the trustees to undertake the
Work instead of abandoning it after it
was found that contract for performing
1t could not be made. The main and sub
stantlve purpose of the mutual agreement
IN which all the owners participated as
parties was to get the water off the island.
Inc mode of doing it was minor con-
sderation. True it was that economy
ana efficiency were not to be overlooked.
While 1t cannot be known with certainty
whether the work, in case a contractor
could have been found TO undertake it,
would have been done better or would
have cost less, yet the testimony tends to
show that the mode adopted was quite as
efnclent and economical as 1t would have
been under any contract that it was pos
slble to make.
Under these circumstances it appears
conclusive to my mind that the defend
ants are estopped from questioning the
authority OF the plaintiffs
The only real dispute there ever was
between the parties related to the guam
tlty of land justly chargeable with the
pro rata expense. The defendants were
willing to have it estimated at 800 acres.
But the testimony clearly shows that
they are justly chargeable with 439 acres.
The plaintiffs are therefore entitled to
recover the sum Of 1858 50, the sum de-
manded in their COMPLAINT

ances OF providing sites for box factory

without paying, meantime expressing
himself more vigorously than politely to
the woman at the counter.
Mr.. Cottier seemed to have become
somewhat over-stimulated by the bracing

A Large sum to Be Raised for Perma-

About 70 per cent. of this amount will
