sHEEHAN ON THE STAND.
New YOrk's Police Commissioner Be
fore the LexOw Committee.

fore the LexOw Committee.
John c. Sheehan, police commissioner
was the star witness at yesterdays ses-
sion Of the Lexow committee In New York.
He had been sent for In the morning, and
had been Informed that he must appear to
answer the subpoena at the afternoon ses-
sion. The news that Mr.. Sheehan would
appear on the stand in the afternoon spread
| rapidly throughout the city, and long be-
fore the afternoon session was called to
order big crowd blocked the passageway
leading to the court room.
Senator Cantor made vigorous protest
against the examination of the commits
sioner on the ground that his public duties
necessitated his APPEARANCE at police head
quarters. p
At first Mr.. Golf excused Sheehan until
this morning, as the commissioner had
informed him that IL was necessary for him
to attend meeting of the police board In
the afternoon.
Senator Cantor asked that the eyamina-
ton of the commissioner be postponed until
after election. Mr.. Golf refused this re-
quest Then Commissioner Sheehan said
that If he must appear today he might as
well be examined yesterday and have it
over with, .as he had more important du-
ties for today than those scheduled for
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Golf said: Very
well, the testimony will be proceeded with
at once"
Mr.. Golf then questioned the commission
er as to the location of the different sta
ton houses in his district. The commits
sionerS answers were given after some
hesitation and attempts to refer TO a small
directory, which Mr.. Gcff objected to. Ac-
cording to Mr.. COTS reorganization Of Shee
hans answers the latter failed to correctly
locate two of his station houses as we'll as
police headquarters.
docs your mind get mixed I'D with the
streets of Buffalo and the streets of New
York; asked Mr.. Golf.
mo, SIR" replied the commissioner.
Mr.. Goff then elected from the witness
the fact that he had come from Buffalo to
New York city about eight years ago upon
assurance that he would be given a public
position. He denied that he had ever acted
as attorney for the Gould estate or that
he represented the Gould interest
Questioned about his law practice, Mr..
Sheehan said the bulk was in consultation,
and that he drew revenue from 1t of
$1,000 to 5000 year. Mr.. Sheehan said
most of his time wis spent at headquar-
ters, and, although his partner was now
in Europe. the business did not in any way
interfere with his duties as police commits
sioner. He said he was a member of the
firm of John c. Sheehan & Co, composed
of John O'Brien and himself. This firm
was doing a business In Long Island City,
the contracts of which amounted to about
5000. After some sparrlng between Mr..
Golf and the commissioner with regard to
Inspector Williams connection with the
Long Island City contracts and his efforts
to secure a isSionership, an adjourn
ment was taken until today.
Commissioner Sheehan did not care about
going on the stand today. lie said his bust
ness at police headquarters was too press
ing. Mr.. Goif would not excuse him.

Criticising German.

Among certain democrats 1t is quite COM
mon to hear severe criticisms of Senator
Germans course on the tariff bill. Even
democratic stump speakers occasionally
ioin in this criticism, and some of the meet
ings have passed resolutions vigorously de-
nouncing Senators German and Gibson by
name and no one has raised a voice in
their defense. The Maryland Senators are,
however, not without friends in their own
state.
1--WE are ready to wait" said one of them
today Time will show that Mr.. German
and his colleagues were right, and then
many of these time-servers who are now
denouncing them will be the first to cringe
and crawl at their feet German is not
dead yet, and he will exert his influence
next year to bury some Of his present ira
ducers out of sight"

Combine and Conquer.

The Boise Populists are making
frantic efforts to organise the coun-
ties for the campaign next fall.
The indications are that they will
again sweep the State. They may
even elect the next president, but
if they should they will find that
the Populist president and cabinet
will be controlled by the same Wall
Street influence which controls
Cleveland and Carlisle, and which
controlled Harrison and Blaine,
and their predecessors. Carlisle
on the democratic side and Blaine
on the republican side both ate
dirt and stultified their past re-
cords on the silver ques ton at the
dictation of Wall Street. A Popu-
list administration would be domi-
mated by the same influence. Who
would have suspected last fall that
Cleveland and Carlisle would have
bolted their platform and sold out
the democratic party? But they
did. And the democratic masses
hang their heads in shame at the
betrayal. But the democratic
principle is all right, and the trail
tor leaders will all be retired just
as soon as the democratic voters
can get a whack at their unfaith-
iul servants. There is no good rea-
son why democrats should become
Populists. There are too many
parties in the field now. We ought
to quit fighting each other and
turn our attention to the common
Street.

There is no law authorising the
county commissioners to order a
special election to vote bonds. The
only way outxof the woods as far
as we can sec is Sec. II, of an act
relating to County Commissioners
and Highway Officers, approved
March IS, 1891; which reads as
follows:
Whenever it appears to the board
of commissioners that the road fund
is or would be unreasonably bur-
dened by the expense of construc-
ton and maintenance and repair
of any bridge or road they may, in
their discretion, cause portion of
the aggregate cost or expense to
be paid out of the general fund of
the county, and they may levy a
special tax,no exceeding one fourth
of one per cent, on the taxable
property of the county, annually,
until the amount appropriated in
aid is raised and paid.
We already know HOW MUCH the
roads can be built for. The next
thing is to find out HOW LITTLE we
can get them built for. Therefore
we once more say: Let the county
commissioners advertise for bids to
build these roads according to the
State surveys and specifications.
Bids will be put in several thou
sand dollars below present esti-
mates, and then the Taxpayers
can decide whether or not the game
is worth the candle. The situation
is serious. We must either incur
several thousand dollars of new
county debt and get these roads,
or we must lose the $4,000 of
State money and remain without
these necessary roads for the next
ten years. We raise our voice for
county action, and for special tax
alton to be levied in April to help
pay the cost of construction out of
this years. revenues. The worst of
the hard times is over and it will
be easier to pay extra taxes in '94,
than it was to pay ordinary taxes
in '93. Time flies. We must act
quickly, or forever after hang our
heads in shame and fold our arms
in slumberous non-progression for
another thirty years of isolation,
stagnation, dry-rot and decay.

DIED.-Near Grangeville, Idaho,
of typhoid fever, January 10, 1894,
Charles Upton, son of J. l.. Tip
ton, aged q years. The remains
were inferred in the Grangeville
cemetery on Saturday last.
Why are we paying taxes if not
to make public improvements. Let
the county spend a few thousand
dollars on the Salmon river and
Elk City wagon roads, and give
the taxpayers chance to get
something for their money.
The Elk City and Salmon river
wagon roads must be built some
time. Why not build them now
and give us all chance to get the
benefits thereof. The roads will
be no good to you and /, dear
reader, if they are built hundred
years hence.
The Cleveland Mining Company
has spent over $1,000 a year for
the past five years developing
their quartz and placer claims on
Relief creek, in Elk City district,
in the hopes of getting wagon
road built into the camp. The
present year will solve the problem
for them. If the county takes
hold and helps out the State appro-
priation, the company will keep on
developing, otherwise they will
patent their claims and let them
lay until the people wake up.
We never did believe that the
Interpretation put upon the State
Wagon Road Law by the Attorney
General and Gov. Mcconnell was
the correct one, and if it should
result in Idaho county being bun
coed out Of the appropriations CIV
en- it by the legislature somebody
will have to do some vigorous ex-
planning. We cannot conceive it
possible that the Legislature itself
intended to appropriate the monsy
for our useand then defraud us out
oft. Clearly the intention was to
have the money spent as far as it
would go, and have it supplement-
ed by additional appropriations at
future sessions. Meanwhile, we are
paying interest ON the bonds and
the money is lying idle in the banks
at Boise. Let us use it.
