BETTER SETTLE
The Decker, Mullins and Berry
Damage Suit.
Heavy Taxpayers Seem to Agree
on That Point.
THEY SPEAK CLEARLY.
The Judiciary Committee Meets
Tonight to Act.
THEY SPEAK CLEARLY.
The Members Willing to Con-
slider a Fair Proposition.

The men who pay the taxes in T0pe-
ka are in favor of a settlement Of the
Decker, Mullins and Berry sewer case.
A JOURNAL reporter spent some time in
questioning men who have the interests
of the city at heart, and did not find one
who is in favor of appealing the case.
Here are some of the opinions expressed:
p. L Bonehrake, president of the Cen
tral National bank: 81 am in favor of
compromise settlement of the judgment.
The city owes a debt, aud the best thing
is to settle it and get it out of the way.
We might have made a settlement once
for $4,000. but we did not do it, and now
we will have do the best we can"
T. }. Kellam, president of the Mer-
chants National bank-''By all means
the council should decide to settle it. 1t
has been demonstrated by three trials
that the CITY is responsible and the iudg-
tion about the equity of the claim
against the city do not pretend to give
an opinion about the amount, but it
should be settled rs soon as possible and
save the city any further expense"
Major Vim. Sims, president of the
First National bank-aI have been of the
opinion for some time that the interests
of the city would be promoted by an ad-
justment of the claim. Whom an indi-
vidual or company obtains a judgment
against q CAby5 WlIHOut gong AhtO bnC AlS II
or wrong of the question, it is always
best to settle it as speedily as possible.
Delays are expensive and the city gener-
ally fails in the end"
r NJ. Gage, treasurer of the Topeka
City Railway company-'I think by all
means the judgment should be settled.
Pending litigation is always damaging
to the credit of any city. The matter of
this suit has already attracted some at
teption in quarters outside of the state
where, without an investigation of the
merits of the case, it is classed as another
effort of a Kansas town to repudiate its
obligations. We cannot afford to ac-
quire a reputation as litigants and in
this case l think it is general opinion
among tax payers that no verdict for
smaller amount will ever be rendered,
while much fear has been expressed that
another verdict might be for $150,000."
Guilford Dudley, banker-"I think it
will be business TO adjust the matter.
The city should pay what it owes as soon
as possible 1 do not know whether the
judgment is correct or not, but the city
ought to be able to make some satisfac-
tory agreement with those who hold the
judgment as to the amount l would like
to see it fixed up.'

The CounciIlnen Intrusted with the Mat
ter TO Hold Session.

The committee on judiciary of the city
council, City Attorney Tillotson and p.
q. Noel, financial agent of the city, meet
tonight to discuss the question Of appeal
ing the Decker, Mullins & Berry se wer
case.
The members of the committee are:
Councilmen Bradford, of the Third ward;
Holman, of the First; Burgess, of
the Fourth and Fulton of the Fifth.
Gen. Bradford, who is chairman OF the
committee, is not in the city, and will
not meet with the committee.
All the councilmen in the committee
are in favor Of settling the judgment
rather than appealing the case to the su-
preme court, but none are in favor of
paying the full amount of the judgment
The proba bilities are that the committee
will agree upon a compromise. which
will be submitted to the holders of the
judgment.
1t is the general opinion Of the whole
council that the claims of the materi al
men should be paid, and the compromise
would not apply to these claims.
Councilman Fulton says that if a set
tIement at the contract price can be made
he is in favor Of adjusting the judgment,
He says this would reduce the judgment
about $4,000, which would bring the
amount down to 800, 900.
Councilman Holman says he favOrs a
settlement if it can be secured on a salts
factory basis but if this can not be secured
he favors an appeal.
Councilman Burgess also favors a set
tlement if compromise can be secured.
Mr.. Tillotson is in favor of appealing
the case.

FoRr WORM, Tex, Sept 12-About
600 workinRmen assembled here last
night for the purpose of discussing the
order of the Union Pacific prohibiting
the employees Of that road from active
participation in politics. A large num-
ber of railroad men attended. and the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted
" hereas, It has been reported in the
press Of the country that the receivers Of
the Union Pacific Railroad company
have issued. an order prohibiting their
employees from actively participating in
politics; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this order is a blow at
the liberties of American citizens: a de-
NAL of the rights granted by the consti-
tuition of the United States, and should
be met by a united protest by working
men in every section Of the country; and
be it further
Resolved, That we, the working men
of Fort Worth, in mass meeting assem-
hled, enter our sincere and solemn pro-
test against this attempt to cOerce the
workIngnen in the employ of the cor
poration referred to into acquiescence in
an administration that in its very act
makes a lie of the claim that this is
government of and by the people.
The presidents of the different railway
organizations in Texas will call state
convention, to be held either here or in
Dallas next October, for the purpose of
further discussing the order.

is Trying to DO.

Despite the ignominious failure of the

French and Dutch speculators, is now
trying to obtain control OF the tin mark

10000 tons Of tin.
The low price OF tin has apparently
induced the formation Of a corner It
is known that the stock of tin ia the
United States has fallen to a low level
The purchases of the combination has
already caused a rise Of &c a ton.

to be disappointed, as America should

adopting a resolution whereby saloon
keepers and bar-tenders were prohibited

said:
'sThe supreme lodge, of which I am at
the head, has the power to decide what
ritual shall be made, in which language
it shall be written, or whether any ritual
shall be used at all We have decided
that in America the language of the
greatest number of our people shall be
used in the ritual. and that is the Eng
lish. This was the decision Of the su-
Preme lodge, aud by that I mean to
stand If we were to organize a lodge in
France, we would naturally like to have
the ritual in French. But in America it
is to be in English.

friends have taken offense at our de-
cisiOn, but they cannot help it. / have
many friends among Germans and in
