MR.. BOWLER STANDS FIRM.

The indifference with which Comptroller
Bowler listens TO the insulent threats of
the sugar bounty bulldozers is extremely
comforting as compared TO the hig h
handed way these grab-all individuals held
up Congress Through tricks that were
questionable and methods that would bear
watching the sugar lobbyists obtained
an appropriation To which they were not
entitled And their old bluff that Lou
isiana will go Republican, and that thou
sands ofpeople inthat State re on the point
OF starvation because the bounty is with
held, seems to have no visible effect on
the one official they can neither frighten nor
purchase Not even Senator Caffery's
reminder that President Cleveland had
the power TO remove him, caused the
comptroller To fail on his face in humble
submission.
Whether or no President Cleveland will
inierpoSe and remove Mr.. Bowler is seri-
Gus question that time alone can answer.
During the last Congress when the sugar
tariff was being discussed one of the argu-
en,sused by the Louisiana Representatives
was that Mr.. Cleveland had pledged his
word TO protect their sugar interests pro-
vided Louisiana gave his candidacy loyal
support President Cleveland did give the
sugar planters the benefit OF his influence
in two different messages and several pub
lie letters, which had weight in increasing
the tariff on sugar 1t now remains TO be
seen if he viii again come TO their aid and
assist them in obtaining the bounty.
1t is the opinion OF eminent lawyers that
Comptroller Bowler's position is correct
and that he has no authority to pay the
appropria ton. Unless he changes his
mind, the question Is settled for the
present, and only Presidential interfer-
ence VIII complete the act of pundering
the Treasury OF five millions of dollars,
which was authorized by Congress at the
instigation OF the sugar lobbyists.

INVESTIGATE 1T THOROUGHLY

II the public desires 10 assist in pre-
serving the lives OF wage-earners employed
iu the erection of buildings an effort must
be made TO compel contractors to use daii-
gence in providing safeguards for their
protection. Within the last year four
meu have been killed on the new post-office
building, and as many more MANNED for
life because Of the peuurious neglect of
the contractor TO carry the floors OF the
several stories up so as TO prevent deadly
falls, and also to provide suitable scat
folding and runways to obvlate similar
accidents
Other contractors are equally culpable,
although they may not be responsible for
so many fatal accidents, aud it begins to
look as if the death of a working man
weighed but little in the minds of average
contra ctors against the worth OF dollars
aud cents 1t is reported that Coroner
Hammett win investigate the cause Of
this latest fatality in the new post-office
building Let the investigation be thor
ough aud complete, and if the contractor
is irresponsible lie should be made an example
To warn others against niggardIy economy
as compared to the value of human life.

MORE OFFICIAL DEsUErUDE.

The Times feels humiIiated and desires
10 make an apology. When Sheriff Palmer
assumed the duties Of his office he made
a desperate effort 10 induce the public to
believe he was an honest, rainstaking Of
ficiaI. For several Sundays the gambling
deus along The river were closed. and TO all
appearances the lawlessness Of Alexandria
county was about to be suppressed by an
official who was determined odo hisduty.
Deceived by this pretended show OF Of
ficial activity The Times commended Sheriff
Palmer and ,'snouaced that at last Alex
audria county had elected a Jealous and
upright official, But the evidence in the
contested election cases showed that Sheriff
Palmer was under obligation to the race
track gang, and the continued existence
OF policy deus which are evidently robbing
the public with his tacu consent and knowl-
edge, makes it necessary for The Times
20 withGraw W witsindoRemeDt. Sheriff Palm
er may De an excellent official. but if so he
has discouraging way OF showing il.
Were il not Tor the lamentahlr failure
Of GOV. O'Ferrall TO keep his promise aud
assume control Of the prosecution OF Alex
andria county lawlessnesS, the evidence
published this morning would be an in
viuug morsel for his eubernatorial era W.
But Coy. O'Ferrau is not seeking oppor-
tunity 20 punish lawbreakers, or, for that
matter to compel recalcitrant officials to
perform their duty, and there is reason
TO belieTe he is ready to run should The op-
portunity have the temerity to seek him.
In fact it now ioo'H very much as if GOV.
o'FerraH was afflicted with the official
desuetGde epl 60 in Alexandra county.

WILL NOT BE A DELEGATE
General W, W. Dudley Says He Is
Out of Politics.
Statement of the Aims of the Dist rIct
Union Republican Club, OF Which
He Is "a Member.

Local political circles are interested in the
announcement yesterday that Gen. " w.
Dudley, OF Indianapolis, has declined the
use OF his name as a delegate TO the next
Republican Presidential convention
The reason assigned in the publication
was that Gen. Dudley would antagonize
his old Indiana friends should he be sent
to the convention and vote against the re-
nomination of ex-President Harrison, as
he would be compelled 10 do. To United
Press reporter yesterday evening, Gen.
Dudley characterized this statement as
misleading
He stated frankly that some OF his
Republican friends had spoken with him
concerning the matter but thathe hadou each
occasion firmly refused to be considered
a candidate. His argument was that he
is out OF politics aud that he is content to
devote his attention to his professional
pursuits, leaving to Others the making and
uunla king of Presidents.
The fact also developed yesterday that
a number of leading Republicans residing
in the District have within the past few
months quietly formed an organization
which is known as the Union Republican
Club. The purpose of this club is said tC
be, broadly, the control of political affairs
in the District Gen Dudley, who is one
of the members of the executive committee
says that the objects of the club are these:
II. To disseminate ard in every way
promulgate the principles of the party
throughout the United States by the dis
tributiOn of public documents and other
political literature, provide public speak
ers, and in such other ways, after consul
tation. as may be deemed advantageous
and advisable
-. To promote by all honorable and
equitable means the success of the Rcpub-
lican candidates for positions of trust aud
responsibility"
when it deyiates from these broad pTin-
ciples." said Gen. Dudley, Il shall with
draw my membership and so, too, will
many of its most prominent members.
Nothing is further from our intention than
to interfere in local political affairs. We
are Republicans, and are individually and
collectively Interested in the success of
the party, but we are not advancing the
interest of any gentleman or set of gen.
tIemen."

the fact that most persons were then at
leisure, and hundreds OF them out for
ride on the street cars and down the river

4 PATERNAC TOWN.
Where Everything Is Ordered and Don
by Public Signal

Where Everything Is Ordered and Done
by Public Signal.
The village of New Hartford. in Con-
necticut. has one matter of town pride;
The sails of the Nigilant were made
there. The duck mills where they
were made are the sole industry of the
place, and they are managed with a
sort of paternalism. For fully two gem
erations, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
it has been the custom of the managers
to look after the comfort of the en-
ployes in variety of little ways on the
theory that better work and more of it
is produced thereby. One of the pater-
nal institutions that has been estab-
lished is the potato bell" A. 1850
O'Clock every morning the big bell Of
the mills rings loudly That is the ''po.
tato bell"
The wives of the workmen know that
when that bell rings it is time to put
the potatoes ON to boil for dinner. No
workman's wife would think of putting
on the potatoes until the bell rings, and
as a consequence dinners are always on
time when the men reach home There
is no excuse, therefore. for any man be-
ing late on returning to work when the
noon spell is ended. The Waterman of
the mill is compelled to ring the bell
every hour of the night to make sure
that he is awake and doing his duty.
Nobody in the village is disturbed by
the night bell, it is said, although visit.
ors are kept awake by it.
