THE HOUSE.

There was an evidence of relief from an
intense strain apparent in the House today.
There was a very slim attendance of mem
bers on the floor and in the galleries. and
there was an absence of that look Of anx-
ious expectation which was to be seen on
every face when the House met yesterday.
The journal of yesterday took an unusual
ly long time to read, on account OF the
flibustering tactics of yesterday, and after
the reading the House proceeded to routine
business.
On motion of Mr.. Dockery CMo). the
House passed, with a minor amendment. the
Senate resolution for the relief of Ford's
Theater sufferers.

play that has created so much COM
ment in New York, The Face in the
Moonlight" in which he sustains the
dual role of Victor and Rabat. h alf
brothers, of totally dissimilar char
acters. one being a soldier of France,
and the other murderer and vii
lain. The latter gives Mr.. Mantell
opportunities of appearing as a COM
edian. and it is said by the critics
that he is very successful in both
characters. Certain it is that he has
been wonderfully successful in his
new play, and that he will meet with
a warm reception at the hands of his
friends in this city, is foregone con-
clusion.

What is much needed for persons 'in

in fo9rante delicto, Is good excuse, an
explanation Or the spur 81 the moment
for their each having, for example. three

Of this kind occurred only the other
morning in London. a gentleman was
stopped by . policeman At two = n. !.
and requested TO explain thS fxct of his
carrying four umbrellas. II had been
afine day, SO thAteven one seemed mn.
necessary. Tho best account he could
give Of himself was that his mistress had
been out at party, and he. was ocrry-
ing her property home. The inefficiency
OF an excuse OF this sort is lamentable.
In no society do ladies take four UNI
brellas to an evening party. It would
have been better for the poor wretch to
have announced himself as Japanese
nobleman OF the first class, who, in
Difference to Western customs, was wear

staggered the policeman as being some.
thing out of his beat. In another case,
three individuals are found, armed to
the teeth, under the pantry-table of a
gentleman's house. who have no better
explanation to give of their position
than "they were getting out of the
rain" These excuses are pitiful and
almost pathetic.

HOT STUFF,
Such Were the Speeches of the

people have inaugnrated and are pushing

employees of the city ring, continues with

biItian slogan: The People be id"
The speeches at the meetings last
night were all hot stuff for the admiLiS-
tration to swallow. The latter were
asked to explain why they refused to al
low a fair election TO be held but did
not answer They were asked if thew
could explain why they had got the
city into bankruptcy. And how they pro-
posed TO get her out of the mire.
They were asked what policy they pro-
posed to pursue.
They were asked if they proposed to
change the present ruinOuS one that they
have been pursuing.
They were asked il they ever intended
to give patient and long suffering people
Justice.
But their silence was denSer than the
olefactories of their sanitary inspectors.
Every speaker for the anti-city ring
ticket has asked them to declare them
selves and invited them TO answer in
joint debate.

THE PEOPLE ARE MAD.
The City Council Is Being Bitterly
Denounced

Yesterday was the day for the regular
meeting of the city council, and petition
signed by the principal business men and
tax payers had been filed for its consider
alton, demanding a fair election. The
city attorney had also prepared new
election ordinance, with the same object
in view, and when the city council DELHI
erately flew in the face of public opinion
and denied the people justice, they be-
came incenSed and are bitterly denOunCing
the absent cOuncilmen.
To make matters worse, MavOr Lock-
wood intimateS that the people
have no right to demand or eX-
pPct the council to appoint election
judges, because ar article in the
revised statutes referring to state and not
to city elections gives the presiding Off
GERS the right TO appOiJ the other officers
of election. Mr.. Lockwood, evidently, has
forgotten to read the city charter and
city ordinances making il the duty of the
city council to test the judges and clerks
of election and the state law stIpulat1S
that in all elections both parties or all
parties shall be equally represented
among the election officers.
The pre- a ling conviction is that the
city has sealed the doom OF the city-ring-
Callaghan Shardein ticket by ignoring
the people and their rights.
In order that justice may be done it is
Only fair 10 mention those who were
present at the hour appointed for the
meeting Thew were Mayor Lockwood,
Aldermen Anderson, Beckmann, BoeI
hauwe, Daugherty, Guerguin, Hickman
HOetling. The abSenteeS were Conner,
Gregory, Muth, Persch and Weber. The
latter was said to be sick but tie Others
are all in good health ana knew
that the petition of the people demand
ing d fair election was on file for their ac-
ton. They and the whole city admins
tratiOn will hear from the people on next
Mondayand the people will speak in Lhun
Ger tones the fiat that will declare at an
end the rule OF a clique that openly def S
their just demands.
