INDEPENDENTS IN POLITICS.

The efforts of would DO leaders to
keep voters from tho free and full eX-
ercise OF their privileges as citizsns will
not avail at the coming election. The
people OF the State OF Virginia generally
and of this senatorial district in partic
ulsr are resolved to follow the dictates
of their own consciences in the matter
of suffrage, and will show their indie
pendence by giving 8 hearty support to
the Citizens ticket.
They will no longer be deceived by
the specious pleas of interested politi-
clans, whose chief claim to public sup.
port is their ability to manipulate the
wires at ward meetings and city,
county and State conventions. They
know that in the mutations OF time
party lines have been practically OBJ
liberated, SO far "a national issues are
concerned, and they hold feslty to the
best interests OF their State and com
munity above any other claim.
This has been demonstrated in this
district during the present campaign by
the fact that many of the best men Of
the community, who have heretofore
aligned themselves with Democracy,
so-called, are now giving tho Citizens
ticket their hearty support. They have
seen the prevailing corruption in these
alleged party methods, and, placing
their obligations to the State, COM
munity and their homes above mere
empty claims, they are bending their
best energies in aid of the movement
for ballot reform and to protect their
fresides from the blighting effects of
such pernicious influences.
The two old parties are divided among
themselves on the financial question
and on foreign issues Of Importance.
such as the Monroe doctrine and the
protection of American interests; the
people are almost unanimous in support
OF vigorous policy. Hence the pres :
emit time ls particularly opportune for
looking after State matters, and in this
connection the purity of the ballot box
is of first Importance.
The people of Virginia realize this
and the movement now in progress Is
bound to win. In this district the sue
cess of the Citizens ticket is practically
assured, and while the whole State may
not be carried for reform. the work done
now will be the entering wedge of a
movement destined in the near future
to sweep the commonwealth. With SO
many OF the best men of this community
pledged to the Citizens ticket; with the
best Of reasons for wishing it success,
those in doubt should not hesitate, but
| join with the men who would redeem
the commonwealth from the rule of sell
fish ringsters whose chief motives are
the honors and the emoluments of office.

The expected additions to the vote OF

THE 49, lss5-s1xrHEN PAGES

Shannon undertook yesterday morning
to round up and corral fifteen head of
COWS and four head of horses that be-
longed to John Simmons, 945 South
Ninth West street, and had escaped
from their pasturage.
Two mounted men could have cap
tured this stock that was roaming in
the west end, east of the Jordan, but
with Officer Shannon alone he had a
chase that he claims was the hardest
and most exciting in his life. After
considerable difficulty he finally cor
rallied the cattle, but the horses, being
entirely free they ran him fully thirty
miles through the streets and over the
roads of the west end of town.
In the chase the horses crossed and
recrossed the Jordan river at the arch
and other road bridges several times,
until the chased and the chaser be-
came sorely jaded. At one time he
had forced the strays UP the Saltair
beach track toward the Jordan and
thought sure they could not get down
the bank and again swim the stream,
which they had frequently done, as
well as cross the bridges. To the sur
prise of Officer Shannon and others
who were following, the horses Kept
on going UP the track and out on the
trestle, and finally crossed the railroad
bridge.
In crossing the bridge the horses fire.
quently fell through between the ties,
but they lunged and plunged until they
finally got over, badly skinned and
bleeding profusely, Two sof the ami
mails were finally captured and two
succeeded in getting away,
Officer Shannon felt that the city
might be liable for damages, and he
spoke of it only in point of showing
that sufficient help is not provided to
take care of the wholesale work that
is now on the hands of the police.

"BOWER OF PRAYER. "
CAPTAIN DONOVAN DIsCIPLINES
THE POLICE.
He Requests That They Escheyv Pol

sic to Promote Harmony in the
Souls of His Men.

Acting Chief Donovan of the police
department called the patrolmen to-
gether yesterday afternoon and even
ing when they were changing shifts,
and in the kindliest manner possible,
with unmistakable earnestnesS, in
formed them that political discussions
by members of the force would hence
forth be tabooed by officers in uni
form.
while on duty" said Donovan, "an
officer owes his attention to the public
veal and welfare regardless of politics.
Democrats, Republicans and Populists
or what else, are each entitled to the
same treatment from a police officer.
Every man is entitled to his own
opinion on politics, religion or any
other subject, but it is not always best
to express it in public. Besides it has
been demonstrated that an officers
talk on the street invariably casts it's
reflection through the entire depart
ment, causes unkind comment and be-
Titles the efficacy of non-partisan SER
vice. I would therefore request for
the sake of harmony and proper
dignity in the department, that all
officers will escheW politics while on

intent, Snd no doubt will at least make
