A NEW FEDERATION
METAL WORKERS UNITED INTO ONE
BIG ORGANIZATION.
Lee johnson, OF Kansas City, Kas.,
Chosen President-Why the New
Alliance Was Made.

The result of the deliberations of the
metal workers. which were practically con-
cluded at the English Hotel yesterday, was
the organization of the Federated Metal
Trades of America. THE new body will in
clude every branch of the iron, brass and
steel industries In America. The purpose
of the promoters is TO bring into a closer
relationship all Of the national organiza-
tons in this branch Of labor. The officers
of the new association are as follows:
President-Lee Johnson, of Kansas City,
Kan.
Vice observation-disclosures O'Connell, OF Rich
mond. Va.
Secretary-treasurer-wiliam Anderson, OF
st. Louis.
The delegates to the metal workers con-
purpose of forming a federation OF their
trades heard the report Of q committee on
once to draw up a constitution. The entire
day was devoted to this task, and the con-
vention adjourned last night, highly salts

unions for approval. 1t Is believed by those
who had a hand in the formation of

will be instructed to continue its affiliation
with the American federation. President
Johnson says that for the last twelve
months the iron workers of America nave
been subjected to heavy reductions. Their
wages are unsatisfactory and there is a
general feeling among iron workers that
unless their conditions are bettered a bitter
strife between employers and men must be
the end. 1t is with the feeling that the
national organizations were not sufficiently
allied to make a strong fight in case of
emergency that the Federated Metal

Judgment that we shall carry Indiana by at
least 1900. 1t may be much more, but I
do not believe that our majority over the

COUNTY RUNS ITSELF
COURTHOUSE ABANDONED BY DEMO
CRATIC OFFICIALS.
All Out Campafsnfng-More Rotten
Exposed-Purchases OF whisky.

The effect OF long possession OF political
Offices by the Democratic party Is nowhere
better illustrated than in the courthouse at
the present time. Having succeeded in
keeping themselves in Office for several
years, the members of the ring display an
utter disregard for the duties Of their re-
spective offices, and while drawing salaries
for performing these duties. spend their en-
tire time trying to secure reelection TO the
very positions which they are neglecting.
Their boldness and audacity would be less
subject to criticism were it not SO exren-
sive to the taxpayers.
The Journal showed in yesterday morn
tng's issue how the taxpayers were paying
for two judges Of the Criminal Court. Not
only In the Criminal Court Is the business
OF the county neglected, but In almost
every office in the courthouse the same
state of affairs exists. Ed Little, clerk OF
the Criminal Court, is a candidate for
County Commissioner. He is now making
his canvass for that place and drawing his
salary as clerk Of the Criminal Court.
Deputy Auditor Johnson is also putting in
his entire time soliciting votes, and ap-
pears at the auditors office only occasion

that Auditor Taggart is seen at his office.
turing almost MS entire time ne mas per-
mitted his official duties to occupy but lit
tie Of his time, which he has spent attend
ing to private enterprises. John W. Holtz-
man has not given one moment Of his time
to his official duties since the Democratic
county committee opened it's headquarters.
While there are scores of appealed liquor
cases on the docket In the Criminal Court
room, Prosecutor Hoffman, chairman or
the Democratic committee, is ostensibly d.
recting the campaign for his party. He
says the liquor cases are not tried because
of the lack of time. The direction of the
Democratic party's~campaign Is OF greater
Importance than the business of the coun-
ty. While Prosecutor Hoffman is not at
tending to the duties OF his Office, he Is
receiving the salary and fees connected
with it. His deputy, a brother to the judge
OF the court, p~rosecutes a case once In a
long while. The recorders office is another
of the offices under Democratic control
which is permitted to just drift along as 1t
will. Beer agent Maurice Donnelly comes
come in 1t is only to sit down for a few
er reading the paper for a few minutes he
will get up and saunter about the office in
IN aimless sort Of way and then leave.
Sometimes this is done every day for a
week and sometimes he does not appear at
the office at all. The office is permitted TO
run itself as best 1t can. The same Is true
of the county clerks office. John r. Will
son spends just enough time in his office to
enable him to realize, at other times than
when he draws his salary and receives his
fees, that he is county clerk.

GREAT QUANTITIES OF WHISKY.

County ASYLUM DarroOm.

OIHhRlSBlOmcTS Duy ENOUGH KOF u
County Asylum Barroom.
Whisky and live stock insurance are
items of no small expense to the county in
the maintenance CT the county asylum.
There is a gray mule at the county asy-
lum which figures a great deal in the cx-
penses of the institution. This animal, en-
blemati of the party in control, seems to
be an object Of special soIicitude on the
part Of the County Commissioners, for they
have constantly kept it's life insured. to do
which they have paid Sol Leopold s22. 20 at
different times. The animal seems to have
first become an object OF solicitude about
Sept. 6. 1892. At that time ii was insured
and Sol Leopold received 81 as the premium
on the policy. Then, on Sept. II, 1893, the
commissioners allowed a bill from Leopold
for 1915 for insurance on the old gray mule.
On Sept. 10. 1894, the commissioners again
allowed Leopold 81 for insurance on the
animal.
In addition to the items for the gray
mules insurance there appears on the com
missioners' records the following items OF
expenditures fer insurance.: March Z, 1894,
ia for insurance on mules: March IL, 1893.
81 for insurance on horse; March IL, 1892.
s. for Insurance on horse. All of these pay
ments for insurance were made to Sol Leo
pold- His most handsome present. how
ever. was given him on Oct. 81. 1892, when
he was given $3.50 for insurance on live
stock. At that time he was paid the price
OF a good horse for insuring the lives of
the stock at the poor farm and workhouse.
OF that amount $50 was for insurance on
stock st the. poor farm and the balance
on stock at the workhouse.
Just what the taxpayers might think Of
buying whisky for consumption at the poor
farm Is hard to tell, but Keeper & Water
man, wholesale whisky dealers, have fur
nished the stuff TO the county asylum in
large quantities. When it comes to pur-
chasing whisky IL is bought at a whole
sale house. where the retailers profit, it Is
presumed, is saved. In the purchase of
drugs, however, the retailer is sought and
given the profit to be derived from large
purchases The County Commissioners
have paid whisky bills. on the order OF the
superintendent OF the poor farm,
amounting to $3.50. The pur-
chases have been made at different times,
and vary in quantity rom six to eighteen
gallons at a time.
There is a method OF allowing bills in
vogue with the County commissioners that
practically prevents the discovery OF willful
extravaganza. A bill comes to the County
COMMISSIONER for their approval, and If it
Is approved IL is numbered and filed away.
These original bills are preserved for future
reference. They are intended to show spe-
officially what the money was expended for.
The most casual examination of the files
containing these bills. however, will show
that they do not show this. 1t often hap

been purchased renders a bill that is almost

RELATIVES OF JUDGE BROWN
Favored by County commissioners
Matter of Appeals.


A few days ago the Journal showed the
amount of drugs purchased from Charles
w. Eichrodt, a retail druggist at the cor
ner of West and First streets, for use at
the poor farm. 1t was also shown that
drugs for the institution were not pur-
chased under contract, but paid for accord
ing to the bill rendered by Eichrodt. In
not a single instance was there any differ
ence in the amount of the bill presented and
the amount allowed. The 0. K. of Super
intendent Yeager was all the guaranty the
commissioners required as to the reason
ableness of the bills. Superintendent Yea
ger was given unlimited discretion in the
manner of making purchases and the place
Of purchase.
Eichrodt is a brother-in-law to Judge
Brown, of the Circuit Court, and in case Of
an appeal from the. commissioners allow
ance the question would come before the
Circuit Court. The purchasing of drugs in
quantities at retail prices is not the only
way In which the relatives of Judge Brown
are favored by the Democratic courthouse
ring. He has another brother-in-law in the
assessors office and another relative en-
ployed in another part Of the building.

Those Good Citizens.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
1t was refreshing to read in the Journal

sneaking methods Of Mr.. Goode and others
to get men to become law breakers so
that they might show their good (O citi-

opinion the first business of a good citizen
is to keep his fellows from becoming vio-
