Think For Yourselves.

EDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ago I
citizen of Kansas undertook to make 4
political slate for the Peoples party
both for state and congressional officials
Is it not q fact that very often good citi
zens allow themselves TO be used az cats
paws or tools in the hands Of selfish
scheming, desi igning politicians, who
have their plans all mapped out, and fol
the purpose Of sscertaining the condi
tion Of the public pulse, fesler is sent
out? The best and most effective coursC
for the voters to pursue is to treat the
slate-mskers with silent contempt and
quietly smash their Rlates.
We believe the voters Of the Fifth CON
grsssionsl district are perfectly Compe
tent to select their own congressman
without any outside advice, and al
though some Of our voters are opposeC
to third term, they realize it would b,
the height Of folly to attempt to make I
change. The most intelligent of our peo
pie understand perfectly well that tC
change our congressman would naturally
cause some impediment to the progress
OF our reform principles. Men hsvI
learned by the past that it is simply inn
possible for a man to receive the reCog
milton, to exercise the influence or to 40
complish what q man with years o.
experience and devotion to the study oi
social evils, the cause, and remedy, car
accomplish.
When we have a man in congress who
is faithfully discharging the duties Of q
congressman, who 10 always at his post
loyal to the people, an indefatigable
worker, vigilantly guarding the interests
of the lsboring Glasses with all the force
he can command, what purpose or upOr
what ground can any intelligent person
desire a changer If we had o servRn
who had proved himself honest, faithful
and efficient, and although we had re
ceivsd the benefit Of his faithful services
for years, would we act 80 stupid as tc
discharge him on that account? Nc
business man would act 80 foolish, even
il another imam would like to have his
place. We have no desire to dictate to
anyone, but will say to the voters Of this
(Fifth) district, to follow where your
honest convictions lead. Let wisdom
and reason govern your actions Work in
the interest Of justice and right, your
efforts will not be in vain nor your labor
lost. The work Of the reformsr is con-
tinuous, NO opportunity should be lost
or time wasted.
We are growing, and We shall continue
to grow, because we are progressive.
Only get intelligent people to investigate
and they soon become convinced Of their
errors and join the reform party. Thirty
years ago the brave patriotic fighting
soldier in the ranks saved the Union and
the government, not the officers. Soto
day the rank and file in the army OF
voters must save the country, and God
knows it never was more in need OF Q
saviour. Our present officials will nc yer
save it, they have been hypnotized and
are ali legislative, judiciary and execu-
tive, inssnely locked in the arms Of plu-
tocracy. What picturel

wl.e scott Harrison Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. There is an
other chapter to the Scott Harrison
case. The treasury department thus
far has taken no action to put into eff
feet the rejection. The officials there
hold that it is not obligatory on them
to set aside Mr.. Harrison immediately
Some of them hold that Mr. Harrison
may even continue to discharge the
duties of the office until the session
ends if the president does not choose to
send in o successor. Senators take q
different view. They insist that with
the rejection Mr.. Harrison's tenure
ceases and that it is the duty of the sec
rotary to pnt someone else temporarily
in charge of the office. It is understood
that Senator Vest will wait few days
longer and then. if Mir. Harrison is still
in control of the Office. he will intro
duee in the senate u resolution demand
ing of Secretary Carlisle an explanation
of the evasion of the spirit of the law.

where the Nashville aud Chattanooga
railroad crosses the Tennessee river,
near Chattanooga. there was singular
accident, in whica John Lively lost his
life. Wild rumors that the bridge had
blown down We're at first circulated.

was occasioned by the high wind, and
came about in this manner. The gov.
eminent boat whistled for the draw
to be opened. and ne three men who
usually attended to that duty went on
the draw ami began to open it. The
wind was high ana blowing in gusts.
When the b.idge was opened the
wind stuck one end of it witt such
force that it cassed the wrenches to re-
volve rapidly ami wrench striking
John Lively, the head Waterman, he
was thrown into the river and drowned.
He was 45 years old ana had been in the
employ of the road for a number of
years.
Orders have been issued hereafter
not to open the bridge when the wind
is high enough to endanger life in this
way. This is the first accident of this
sort know to have occurred.

PATRICK J. HAYES.

The Unanimous Choice of the Police
 Board to Ell the Vacancy.
 Mayor Kilduf presided at the special meeting of the police board last night and every member was present.
 After the approval of the minutes a pc tition was read from Mrs Mary Clark ask ing to be appointed police matron. She was indorsed by long list of names.
 The applications of Timothy J. Shana- han. 194 Mill street. and Michael Pendy, 142 Liberty street. to be appointed police man. were placed on file. Commissioner Mcdonald then asked that the board take a recess for five minutes. The four com missioners retired to the other room and Tn five minutes returned. Commissioner Cross at once moved to proceed to ballot for the new policeman. Only one ballot was cast and Patrick J. Hayes received all four votes.
 Many stories are told as to how the com missioners arrived at the conclusion to vote unanimously. One was that in the event of Commissioners McDonald and Kelley being able 10 unite on either John Somerville or Michael Sullivan each should propose another name and the two repub- lican members would vote for either one. It was said Hayes was Commissioner McDonald's second choice and Timothy J. Shanahan, Commissioner Reilly's choice. Another rumor is that Commissioner Goodrich, who is known to be a great friend of John $. Hayes, father of the sue cessful applicant. proposed the name of Patrick J. Hayes as A compromise.
 Patrolman Patrick J. Hayes was born in Waterbury in March 1858. and is there fore 36 years of age. He received n com mon school education and for the past fourteen years has been an employe of the Scoyill Manufacturing Co. He resides at l10 Wall street and has a wife and seven children. He is a prominent member of Sheridan council, K. of C.. and of Court Linden, A. O. F. of A. He is n steady, temperate man and will make A fine look ing officer.

FASHION TIPS.

"henmare" is the name of wide ribbed serge to be found in light green, water blue, red, butter color and pale gray.
 Light suede gloves prevail for summer wear, and cream butter color and u kind of rosy fawn" are the most desirable shades.
 Cotton satines in floral designs of pink and black are very taking, and q favorite pattern in gingham is tiny white horse shoes dotted all over pale blue ground.
 White moire parasols, with a scalloped edge upon which Is an applique of cream lace, are among the latest fancies and are much more durable than the fluffy chiffon beauties.
 The craze for neck bands of bright col ored velvet with d fall of lace in front has developed into another for neck ruches, and these are made of lace. ribbon and chiffon, box plaited very full.
 Satin cloth, so fashionable this year, comes in all possible colors, and Is said to wear forever. A pretty design shows little squares of biscuit color outlined with pale blue silk on a black ground.
 Marie Antoinette fichus of chiffon, dot ted and plain muslin, net or lace, either black or white, are one of the fashionable accessories of summer dress, and the very chic ones are knotted in the back with fall ing ends.
 Alpaca is becoming more and more pop ular, and black gowns of 1t are made and trimmed with ecru lawn exquisitely em- broidered. A heavy quality which is very glossy is used for coats, and another va riety has little silk stars raised cn the sur hce.
 A new dress fabric made of peat fiber" is in contemplation, and the possibility of using aluminium for making drapery goods is thought to be very practical, since it can be drawn into wires finer than q hsir and yet so fine and supple that they can be woven with silk.-New York Sun.
