The appropriation of SO. $3.50. 10 for a
pipe drain on Elm street was thrown
out by the estimates committee,
through the detection of Select Coun-
Gilman Sanderson. The reason ad-
vanced by Mr.. Sanderson does not com
port with the true state OF affairs. He
is of the opinion that the pipe drain is
not a necessity. A TRIBUNE reporter
visited the vicinity today and can as
sure Mr.. Sanderson that the place is
badly in need of it, Remington ave-
nu0 between Elm street and the Roar
ing brook is vsritable cesSpool, and
the stencil arising therefrom is enough
to compel the attention of the board
of health. The pipe drain must come

their appeals will be loud and deep.

satisfied as to the conditions existing.

A Portrait of Lewis Cass.

The state department received from the
New York descendants of Lewis Cass a
half length oil portrait of the general, who
was secretary of war and minister to
France under Jackson and secretary of
state under Buchanan. The portrait is
evidently copy, and the comparatively
youthful appearance of the subject as well
as the glimpse of embroidered wine colored
waistcoat suggests that it may have been
painted in Paris about the year 1888, when
Sumner noted in his journal that "Mr.
Cass is said to live in style superior to
that of any minister ever sent by Ameri-

FORCING THEIR EMPLOYEES

StarVe

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 11.--Six weeks
ago the employees of the United States
Iron and TinPlate company at
Demmler struck against reduction
Of wages. This ranged from to per
cent and was made necessary, the
company asserted, by the large impor-
tationS of tin-plate under the Wilson
schedule. Notices were posted in the
mills that unless the employees return
ed to work by Monday, Nov. 5, their
places would be given to other men,
1t was then promised that if the cleo
tions were favorable to the Republi-
cans the difficulty could be adjusted.
This had the effect of making MANY
men vote the Republican ticket. The
announcement was made today that
the company had rented d house op-
posite the mill and was filling it with
hunks for the men who take the
strikers places. Cooks have been
hired and provisions purchased, and
the men are expected tomorrow
President Garland of. the Amalga-
mated association went to Demmler
today TO quiet the strikers. 1t is
feared that they will attack the
strangers. The president of the
United States company is c. A. Cron-
meyer, who lobbied at Washington for
a high duty on tin-plate and posed as
friend Of the wOrkingmln.

the merchant mills of the country were
taken at a meeting of mllers at the Audi
torium today The meeting consisted of y

The committee was unanimous in agree
ing that the price of -four was below A
profit yielding point and that some con-
certed action by the trade was necessary
to bring up the price to a profit point
An arbitrary increase of the price was
given little consideration. as the custom
mills scattered all over the country could
not be brought into line. The reduction of
stocks was regarded the best method
of tending to an increase in the price. An
agreement was then formed to shut down
the mills for period of six weeks, within
the three months beginning Dec. 10 The
agreement will be in force When the mills
representing a production of 5000 barrels
a day have signed.
No doubt this movement will cul-
inmate in success. The mills Will be
shut down, the output of flour cur
tailed, the price advanced, and the
price of wheat reduced. Thus the
farmer and the wort,ingman get the
worst of it every turn out of the box.

country where thousands go hungry to

The Chicago Times of tue 18th inst,
says:
"Perhaps after some of our esteem
cd contemporaries have quite finished
talking about the ''decline of popu-
ism, the busting Of the Populist
bubble" and the like, they may have
time to note that the Peoples's party
was the one party IN the late elections echich
cast q larger rote than 1t polIed ia the
United States IN 1892. Nearly 100000
PopulSt votes were counted this year.
while in 1892, with the stimulus of a
presidential election, only 1,041 ops
were cast. Democratic leaders and
Democratic journals that ignore these
significant figures are guilty of the
most stupendous folly. There cannot he
1000, 900 Pop,list rotcs cast IN 1896 and u
Democratic president elected, for popu-
lism's later gains have been in Demo
cratic states. It is the part of wis
dom for Democrats to face this prob
lem fairly and seek to discover what
causes have driven these Peoples par
ty voters from the ancient party of
the people, The Times has steadily
held that were Democracy true to it's
fundamental principles there would
be no room for a party Of populism.
Shall not wise Democrats then seek
these truths and maintain them. even

SEEKS PURER POLITICS.
Senator Ozmun Preparing Bills Hav-
ing That End in View.


ST. PAUL, Nov. Ex-senator Edward H.
will introduce early in the session of the
legislature relating to appointments and
elections to offices held under the state,
county and city governments. All the
bills are in the line of modern reform
movements, and they will be among the
most important to receive the considera-
ton of the legislature.
The first bill is a civil service measure,
seeking to place appointments by the heads
of state, county and city departments I'M
der certain restrictions, and providing for
examinations as a means of determining
the fitness of candidates for the positions
to be disposed of by appointment
A second measure is corrupt practice
act to which Mr.. OZmun has devoted
careful study and exhaustive research. He
has Investigated all legislation which has
ever been operative upon the subject, 60
ing back to the original act of the British
parliament passed in 1854 The provisions of
the bill would put a limit upon the cam
paign expenses of all candidates common
surate with the incomes of the offices
they seek.
The third bill relates to primary cleo
lions 1t provides that the legislative bod
les of incorporated cities shall name pri
mary election boards, whose duties shall
be specified in the act; that poll lists of all
who are entitled to vote shall be made.

be voters in any party caucus shall be re-
CURED to state their party affiliations.
under oath, II challenged by an authorized
challenger, ana that the affidavits so taken
shall be open thereafter to public inspec-
ton. The intent of the bill is to do away
with Illegal and fraudulent voting at pri-
maries.
