The Health Committee Of Council will
consider the bids on the contract for col
lectins the city's garbage for the next
two years tonight
The Committee should not continue
the absurd system under which the city
has suffered in the past-that Of ac-
ceptiug the low bid regardless Of all
other considerations.
In the light Of past experience 1t
would be outrageous folly to let the gar
bage contract again at a price for which
it has been thoroughly demonstrated to
our sorrow that the work cannot be
done. The wretched condition OF If
fairs in this department that has been
the rule for the past few years must not
be continued during the coming
spring and summer, the health
Of tho city endangered and
al invitation held out 10 disease aud
epidemics to enter our gates, for the
sake Of saving $1,000 or $4,000. 1t
would, indeed, be far better TO CON-
pletely reverse this penny-wise and
pouud-ioolIsh policy by accepting the
highest bid.
The Committee SHOULD accept no bid
at less figure than il knows the work
can be performed for, and it knows il
cannot and will not be properly done
at the price the city is now paying

CHARLESTON, W. VA, February O.
Governor McCorkle pronounces as false
the dispatch sent out from Huntington
Yesterday to the effect that ammunition
had been sent out for the two companies
there who had been ordered to stand in
readiness for immediate orders to go TO
Coalburg. all the trouble is over now
and there is no necessity for the troops
even IL the Governor were disposed to
order them out.
Judge C. P. Snyder, of the Kanawha
County Criminal Court, mas ordered a
special term of the grand jury for Feb
ruary 13 TO investigate the Acme riot Of
last Friday night. A new panel has
been summoned and the investigation
will be thorough one.
The miners working at Acme held q
meeting and resolved TO do no more
work until it could be learned what
( would be result OF the mob's action.
The Foster boy, who was shot by one OF
the mob, is dangerously wounded, but
may recover. The Acme miners, at
their meeting. denounced 1.-The action OF
the mob who came drunk, shooting and
throwing rocks in the houses among
women and children"
NJ. +. ingalls,, President Of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railway Company, has
published communication in the Ga
zette here denying that the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway or the Chesapeake
and Ohio Coal Agency is IN any way re-
sponsible for the reduction in the wages
of the miners and declaring that "Se
are hauling coal to-day without any
profit, simply to keep our own employees
in work, and in hope to stay in the bus
mess and that in the near future there
will be better Qprices." He says
the cause OF the reduction
in wages is that when so many
of the industries OF the country are idle.
There is an overproduction of coal and
it must be sold in ruinous competition
at very low rates. To sell cheap IL
must be mined cheap, and that is all
there is TO il.

Addressed BY President LouckS, Who
Makes Populiss speech.

-~~~--~~
TOPEKA, KAs., February 6.-The
lower floor of Representative Hall was
filled to-day by 400 people assembled to
hear the opening speeches of the meet
ing OF the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union. About forty
delegates were present Governor
Lewelling and John f. Willetts deliver
ed the addresses of welcome. A secret
session was held in the afternoon and a
public meeting tonight at which time
President Loucks delivered his address.
President Louek's address tonight
began with q reference 70 the present
financial depression, and said that at no
period in the nations history have
there been so many idle people as at
the present time. Tariff legislation, he
said, was not the cause Of the panic. 1t
was simply q want of money, money
famine. The speaker was emphatic in
his denunciation of legislation against
silver. He declared against per capita
basis for money and argued for the gov
eminent ownership Of railroads. He
believed that the government should
not attempt TO gain the ownership of all
the roads at once, but should begin
with gulf and interstate road run
ming from the Gulf OF Mexico
to North Dakota. Paying his re-
spects TO the President, he continues:
~ have no hope that any protest of
ours will avert the issue OF more bonds,
for there never was more determined,
obstinate, merciless auIocrat on des-
pOtiC throne than he who now rules
wish an iron hand at Washington, and
there never was a more plant, servile
body OF alleged representatives Of the
people than those now assembled to do
his will"

The Intelligencer-Press Club game
scheduled for Saturday, was changed to
yesterday afternoon by mutual consent
of the captains. The Press Club was
unable to secure full team, and several
members therefore did not go down 10
Fette's, where the game was played.
George Summers was the only repre-
sentative OF the team present. As the
Intelligencer. team insisted upon play
ing the game, and it would possibly Dc
entitled to scores OF 1880 10 each game
II they were forfeited, the one repre-
sentative of the Press Club undertook
singie-handed to play the opposing clue.
There were no scorers present, and no
umpire officiated In the second game.
For these reasons the Pr 81 CLUB
will probaly protest the games.
The Intelligencer won as
matter Of course, but the Press Club
average per player was greater in each
game than that OF It's opponents. The
Intelligencer team has maintained a
good position in the League race by
pure unadulterated luck, aud the tail
ender's" are anxious for series OF
games with the club, independent OF
the championship series, TO determine
the question of superior ability as
bowlers.
Summers work in the games yester-
day was excellent. His score OF 2SS has
been exceeded but twice since the
League season opened The games re-
suited as follows:

orArs PEcrLIAk POSITION

Senator Matt QUAY, in his endeavor
to embarrass the WILSON bin, has
placed himself between the devil and
the deep sea.
His wildcat silver scheme has reused
a horDets nest about the Senator's ears
I'm the Republican party Of Pennsyl-
vania. According to the Philadelphia
Times summary Of the opinions Of
Republican editors QUAY neglected to
give them the proper cue il his game is
ore OF politics. Some Of them regard
10 as joke, some as a trap to catch the
Populists or TO trip up the Democrats;
others intimate that QUAY must be
wool gathering, while a few have
the hardihood to dsnounce him
and his plans Of reputation out
right If his intention was
to play a political trick he did not show
his usual judgment in choosing his
time. To spring a free silver amend
ment to the tariff bin while it was be-
fore the Senate might make some mis-
chief; but the deliberate introduction Of
this astounding measure, with notice Of
his intention to move It's adoption here
after, certainly seems to commit the
Senator to its support. In the case Of
QUAY's discredited colleague, CAMERON,
30 was easy TO say that he did otrepre-
sent the views Of his party; but il QUAY
does not know what Pennsylvania Re
publicans want. who does?
Senator CAMERON has declared that
the high tariff interests Of PENNSYLVANIA
and the silver interests Of the West are
one. Senator QUAY, in the midst Of a
tariff campaign in his State, comes for
ward with the rsnkest silver scheme yet
devised. This looks like a vindicatlon
OF CAMERON by QUAY. The people OF
Pennsylvania, certainly are entitled to
know what their Senators are driving at,
aud whether the Republican party Of
Pennsylvania is back Of them.

There is no reason on earth why

APPLETON, Wis, February 6.-Prof.
Sims, the A. 2. a. lecturer, who was
mobbed at Oshkosh, January q, was
arrested and taken of the train here
tonight on a charge of libel, preferred
by Peter Reuter-. Mayor of Kaukauna.
Sims left Oshkosh this evening
with delegation Of $50 members OF
the Oshkosh A. p. A., lodged in two
cars on the Northwestern railway.
They had with them a band OF music
and the program was to reach hau-
kauna at 6:30, march through the
streets, and Sims was to deliver a lee
ture at the Baptist church. Such pro-
ceedings would undoubtedly have
precpitated a bloody riot as the city OF
Kaukauna is in turmoil of fractional
and religious bigotry and bitterness. To
prevent Sims appearance at kaukauna,
Peter Reuter-, Mayor of the city, to-day
instituted civil suit for libel agsinst
Sims, and q warrant was
issued for his arrest by Judge Good
land, OF Outagamie Circuit Court. The
sheriff swore in twenty-five deputies TO
90 10 Kaukauna in case Sims should
escape arrest and reach Kaukauna.
The sheriff, however, served the war
rant on Sims without disturbance as
he came through Appleton, and the
arrest was made without trouble.
A large crowd was at the depot when
Sims was taken from the train and con-
siderable excitement prevailed, but
aside from one stone being thrown
through the car window no other dem
Onstration was made.
