UNPARALLELED PARrIsANsmP.

One of the rankest and vilest exhibit
tons of pardsausbip that has ever been
called to- the attention of the people of
this city in connection with municipal
affairs. was made last night by the
Fire Committee. when an appointment
by Chief Healy Of the Fire Department
was turned down and the unheard Of
performance was carried out Of The
committee nominating candidate Of
its own Ia Republican, of coursel and
putting him through without So much
as consulting Chief Healy. whose sub
ordinate this appointee is to be. and
whose approval and confidence he is
supposed 20 possess.
So hungry are these political starve-
Hngs for spoils that they are willing 70
sacrifice the well being and discipline
of this most important department Of
the city government TO obtain ,hem. for
what kind of discipline in the Fire De
partment can be hoped for in the flu
ture if this highly important power is
to be taken from the Chief and the
employees under him practically given
notice that hereafter the Chiefs say-so
will not amount % much. and that they
may look past him at an ignorant and
partisan committee of politicians for
the real heads Of the department?
Despite the committees trumped up

been heard OF before in this city, and
it has remained for this reform" Coun-
Gil TO introduce politics into the Fire
Department in this manner. and TO aim
fatal blow at the discipline of this
most highly important department, and
all for the sake Of making an entering
wedge TO deprive the Chief hereafter
of the power to appoint his own sub

not likely to be impressed by the argu-
ments of those who maintain that the
salvation of this country depends upon
the unlimited free coinage of 5O-cent
silver dollars.
This is especially true in the South
where nothing indicates so clearly the
dying out of the silver craze as the rap
idly increasing number of sound money
newspapers in that section. Not to
speak of Kentucky, where the battle
has ended so decisively against silver,
encouragement comes from nearly
every Southern State The sound
money sentiment has grown wonderful
ly in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and
Texas, while in North Carolina and
Mississippi able advocates have come
out against the free coiners and en-
phatically in favor of the policy of the
administration. This is nothing more
that what was to have been expected;
but it is, indeed gratifying TO intelli-
gent people that their hopes should be
so fully realized. The campaign of edu-
cation in finance is making rapid head

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The Fifth Annual Meeting Of the Pot
terS National Union,
Being Held in This City-The First
Days Proceedings at Trades
Assembly Hall Were ola Routine
Nature - Another Session to be
Held To-Day.

The fifth annual convention of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters opened in this city yesterday
morning. The sessions will be held in
Trades Assembly Hall. The organiza-
ton embraces in its membership about
all the craftsmen west of the Alleghen-
les. Twenty-eight local unions were
represented yesterday. Delegates were
present from East Liverpool, Toronto,
Peoria, H., Kokomo, Ind, Tifiin, Wells
vile, Findlay, Letonia, East Palestine,
Steubenville, Tiltonville, New Cumber-
land and Wheeling. The first day was
given up almost entirely to routine
business connected with the work Of
organization.
The session opened at ten o'clock, at
which hour there was a good attend
ance of delegates in the hall. The
meeting was called to order by National
President Hughes, of East Liverpool.
Mr. Hughes formerly lived in this city,
and is well known here. The presi-
dent appointed the usual committees
and then began his annual address,
covering the work of the union during
the past year and making a number Of
recommendations. The president de-
clared the Brotherhood to be in a
much more prosperous condition now
than ever before. The last year showed
marked increase in membership.
Much of the Presidents address was
made up of statistics and details of no
public interest. The reading of the adj
dress had not been completed at the
noon recess.
In the afternoon President Hughes
address was concluded and his recon-
mendations were referred to the differ
ent committees. The report of the
Committee on Credentials showed 2S
locals represented, and about so dele
gates entitled to seats upon the floor.
About $50 o'clock the convention ad-
iourned until this morning. The dele
gates will probably be in session until
Wednesday, and possibly longer. They
are an intelligent looking body Of men
and thus far have made an excellent
! impression.
The scale of wages under which the
potters are working expires this month,
and it is understood that the wage
question will be one of the most i'm
portant matters to be considered by the
convention.

SUGAR Trust ANp THE TARIFF.

The Judgment Of the trainers Of the
sugar schedule of the new tariff is be-
ing splendidly indicated The fact is
being thoroughly demonstrated that
the new tariff act protects the consum-
ers Of sugar in the United States against
any unjusufable enhancement Of prices
by the Sugar Trust, which is a severe
blow to the opponents Of the new tariff
which a short time ago they were des-
ignaung as an act drawn in the inter-
est Of that great monopoly. A recent
increase in the Wholesale price of re-
fined sugars in the American markets
has already had the effect Of bringing
into competition substantial quant-
ties of foreign refined sugars, which
were prohibited by the Mckinley act.
The New York Journal of Commerce
in it's comments upon the sugar market
during last week said:
Fully 1900 tons of foreign refined SUI
gars have been placed, and probably
iug. This amount is quite large enough
TO DE conspicuous as a sign OF further
possibilities. and there can hardly be a
doubt that q feeling of independence has
been created toward domestic refined SUI
gars among those who can use the i'm
ported article.
A leading Mckinley organ which
heretofore has been pleased to desig
nate the new tariff law as a Sugar Trust
act. recently referred to these importa-
tons Of foreign sugars as follows:
Under our fool tariff the German rehner
can uuderseu the American re1ner in New
York. and we cannot change the absurd
law by a stroke of pen, as can be done
by most OF our foreign competitors.
Thus 10 is confessed that the fears
and lamentations expressed during the
last ten months that the new tariff
would increase the price of sugar for
the poor mans table have been changed
by the memorable logic of events into
a wall that under the workings Of the
Democratic tariff the poor man will
get his sugar az such low prices that
the much-to-be-pitied American Sugar
Trust cannot maintain its monopoly
charges. and that. unfortunately, as a
Democratic President is in Office, any
change i'm the direction of giving more
powers and privileges to trusts and
monopolies is out of the question.
Every day makes it clearer that the
Mckinley act was the real Sugar
Trust act" It produced no revenue for
the government from sugar, and left
the prices of the only kinds of sugar
that the people use entirely at the
mercy Of monopoly. The new tariff
act, by its duty Of 40 per cent. ad va
loren upon an kinds Of sugar. gives
the government S40.00O,OOO yearly rev.
enue. and by the imposition of only
one-eighth Of a cent a pound additional
duty upon refined sugar protects the
masses of the people, by means Of for
eign competition, from any arbitrary
advance in the price of this necessary
of life.
No hardships and only great benefits
have come to the American people un-
der the new tariff; and the authors of
the organized campaign of SANDER and
falsehood waged against it for political
advantage during a time Of great bust
ness distress, now stand exposed in
their deliberate fraud.

POLITICAL PETIT LARCENY.
Democratic Voters Rave Their Attention
Called to Little Matter.

Democratic Voters Have Their Attention
Called to "A Little Matter.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I desire to call the attention Of
the Democratic voters of the city, who
will be called upon in few days to go
to the polls to vote for or against the
proposed loan ordinance, to the action
Of the Republican majority in the
Council Committee on Fire Depart
ment, last night.
Not content with their possession Of
the legitimate fruits of their victory at
the last municipal election, these po-
litical wolves. and partisan vultures are
proceeding TO unheard of extremes,
and propose to deny to the Democratic
Chief of the Fire Department the exer-
else of his rightful prerogative to select
the men who compose the department,
for the work and discipline Of which he
is expected to be responsible!
This is as small a piece of political
petit larceny as has ever come to my
notice, and Democrats all over the city
ought to resent it to man. while am.
confident that property owners and
business men. irrespective of politics,
will condemn it.
Let Democrats insist on a square deal
in this matter The Republicans must
have Democratic votes to carry the
loan ordinance through before the peo-
pie. Let no Democrat vote for that
measure, until Council has turned
down the action of the Republican ma
jority in the Fire Committee, and gives
a pledge that the performance Of last
night will not be repeated.
Let us meet these pernicious parti-
sans on their own ground, and pursue
the good old policy of fighting the devA
with fire. DEMOCRAT.
