Recognizing conspicuous honor

tion as the place in which the Column
bianExposition will be held during
the current year it is the desire Of
the Democratic party, feeling respon-
sibility for the administration Of civic
affairs, that its civic service shall be
Of the most efficient character, and
that its physical appearance and its
sanitary condition shall be not only
beyond reproach, but shall attain eX-
cellence. Free public baths are a
desirable hygienic aid.
The efficiency Of the police force
shall be increased it, like the fire de-
partment, its membership shall be
constituted upon merit alone and
without reference to partisan service.
Promotion in the police force and fire
department should be fairly earned
and certainty of tenure should be
assured to every servant Of the mu-
nicipality in these departments whose
worth has been demonstrated by his
devotion in the performance Of his
duty.
1t is important that servants of the

for rigid economy in the administra-

necessity for increased taxation shall
be avoided, it is the purpose of the
Democracy, about to be intrusted

to require that all contracts shall be

Excess involves injustice. Reform
in this particular is insisted upon as
Of great Importance to the taxpayers
of Chicago.
Grieved and shocked by continuous
and repeated sacrifice of human life
ut grade crossings, this community
properly demands that the corporate
authorities OF the city shall devote
themselves zealously to the removal
OF an awful meuacc, and demand of
the railroad corporations speedy and
cordial cooperation in plans fof the
abatement OF the evil.
That care should be taken to exc.
ecutc the ordinances of the city is a
duty devolved by the act for the in
corporation of cities upon the eNecu-
tive, and the Democracy demands
from any incumbent of the Mayoraity
that in this respect he shall fully per
form the obligations of his office.
With a mighty population drawn
from all quarters OF the earth, Chica-
go is admittedly the most cosmopoli-
tan city Of the world While the
city is, as it ought to be, patriotical-
| ly American, the habits and the Gus
toms Of the people, whose origin is
strikingly diverse, ought not TO be

The most notorious inmates of the
penitentiary at Saltwater, Mimi, are
the Younger brothers Memory may
recall the fact that they were for a
time connected with the James boys.
but were finally captured after the
famous raid on the bank at Northfield,
Mimi, and compelled to pursue the
paths of peace within the prison walls
of a castle of the State.
The four Younger brothers, while
mere boys, became members of Guam
trell's band of guerillas, who were the
terrors of Southern Missouri and the
Kansas border during the war. The
proclamation of peace was not relished
by these freebooters, and the restless
spirit of adventure and daredeyiltry
kept their neighborhood uneasy for a
long time after the great American
conflict. Shortly after the close OF the
war the Younger brothers concluded to
move West toward the mines of
Colorado, and, in pursuance of this in
tent, joined wagon train. For the
first week things went smoothly
enough-poker games were finished
without funeral and whiskey kept
tongues oily, without precipitating
serious debate. This even tenor of way
was unnatural, considering the cle-
ments enlisted in the expedition.
One evening the eldest Of the Young
er boys became involved in "A spirited
discussion with teamster and fncau-
tiously denominated the muleteer as a
liar. The recipient of the compliment
whipped out his revolver. Younger's
jaw dropped, for, strange to say, he
was for once Invested Of his side arms.
you wouldn't kill an unarmed cuss
without a gun" whined the desperate.
The teamster, with spirit Of fair
ness, dropped his aim, and wheeling
around, said:
II advise you To heel yourself"
Next morning, when the teamster
had arisen from breakfast and was
leaning on one Of his mules, he heard a
voice, and turning about, looked bland
ly into the muzzle of ''forty-four"
held by the vengeful Younger.
1--we got the drop and my gun this
time, )" said the desperate with Ieer.
You wouldn't shoot me like dog,
without chance" remarked the cool
teamster
THE hill wouldn't" epigrammati-
cally responded Younger, US he pulled
the trigger.
The hammer fell with slap on de-
fective cartridge. The next instant
the teamster had his revolver ont of his
saddle holster and put bullet through
the elder Yonnger's heart.
