o'clock man abused his wife on
North Flores street, nesr the cor
ner OF West Houston street, in a
shameful manner. She had two

old enough to walk. She said she
wants to leave him because he does
not support his family. He claimed
she does not treat him right. She
left him and went up West Hous-

was again confronted by him be.

Late Municipal Gossip.

The city council will probably be
memorialized tomorrow by Louis
Hall, president OF the National
Electrical Workers Union, now
with the telephone company Of this
city in charge of its lines, to pro-
vide for the more strict inspection
and safety of all electrical wires in
this city, and to appoint lineman
or inspector, with power to enforce
compliance with his provisions
for the safety, not only of cleo
trical linemen and workers
on the telephone and other
electrical circuits, but for the pub
lie in general. He says the cleo
trical workers have no candidate
for the place, but just want some
one who is competent, and the sal
airy need be no more than $50 or $75
per month.
Tomorrow will be city pay day
in many departments.

SHORT STOPS.
" hat the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The people are more anxious
just now over the business pros.
pect than the political outlook.
Hence, the attempt to stir up the
political waters does not meet
with much enthusiasm.
The reported split in the county
ring is neither credited nor dis
credited; nobody cares. Do these
gentlemen really believe that their
split will amount to anything?
"Big Six" politics are not in
great demand and maybe those as
tute gentlemen have caught on
and have simply divided in order
to keep the people entertained
with the pleasant prospect Of their
approaching defeat.
II, by dividing, they could keep
of all other combinations or party
movements it would be genuine
stroke Of craftsmanship.
II Mr.. Callaghan's recent sup
porters and fellow-conspirators
have cut themselves into two fac
tions, it is only like dividing dose
Of epicac into two powders and re-
quiring the people to swallow
either one or the other.
We hear Of party politics being
introduced; and why not? Let
each political party put out straight
tickets. The voters could, when
they come to the polls, pick out
their favorites. Under the new
voting law party ticket has no
particular advantage in this city.
y
The people are very tired OF those
office holders trusts. They are
tired Of the "Big Six" OF the "city
hall combination" or the "court.
house combination" or whatever
the thing may be called.
II the voting business was
cleansed Of its illegal voters, of
it's alien voters, Of its non-citizens,
Of its trickery and corruption, of
its wholesale Matchmaking of can
didates to secure election money,
1t would not matter much how
candidates for local position were
proposed. The choice Of the people
would be more nearly arrived at.
We can never have reform in
local government until the cor
rupt combinations are broken
down, and it will take the
whole force Of the better element
OF the citizenship to do it, regard
less OF the political complexion Of
men who should be elected.

PARIS, Oct. 26.-The =. speech
made last night by NJ. Gawer, so.
cialist member OF the chamber of
deputies, on the recent strike OF
glass workers at Carmaux has
confirmed the opinion that he is
the greatest French rhetaritician
since Gambetta's time. Members
of the chamber sat spellbound
by his elequence. Instead OF de-
a vote OF want of con-
fidence In the government in
M. Gawer's behalf, the socialists
proposed that NJ. Brisson be ap-
pointed to arbitrate between the
of Carmaux. NJ. Bris-
son expressed willingness to act
as arbitrator if the chamber
wished him. This move took the
chamber by surprise and the de-
bate was adjourned.

GeoE e Peabody wet,ncro Said to Be a n Candidate For Place.

GeoE e Peabody wetincro Said to Be a n Candidate Fer r1ace.
 It is said that George Peabody Wetmoro will Do in the next cabinet in case tho Re 5 publicans carry the national election next year. This is practically certainty, un- ? less tho senator from Rhode Island should himself interfere to prevent that consum- mation. Mr Wetmoro has been urged to permit tho use of his name us candidate for vice president, and in case Harrison gets the nomination this may be accom- plished. Senator Wetmore has a remark able capacity for getting himself liked; but singularly enough, the movement to malse him party leader is almost wholly outside of his own state.
 Levi P. Morton is firm believer in Wetmores political future, and tho cleo tion of tho former to the presidency would only make the political advancement of the latter a greater certainty. Wetmore first became friendly with Morton in Paris and a slight mishap to the present senator cemented the relation.
 Wetmore happened to pass by our lcga- tion in tho French capital when q treach- erous waterspout enptied its contents upon his head. MT. Morton witnessed the acci- dent and rushed out to help, as he thought, a stranger thus engulfcd, and when the mutual recognition had made matters gen orally Imaginable to both Mir. Wetmore de- clared that as matter of patriotism he would provide the legation with new tin spout. MT. Morton begged him not to, for it would be ingratitude to the cause of the happy encounter
 Thus tho friendship and the political preferment of these men have advanced apace ogether.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Bunions.

The best treatment of bunion which is causing you pain is to apply tincture of iodine every two or three days. When the skin peels off, leave off the treatment for week, meanwhile wearing cotton wool or proper bunion plaster to prevent all pressure. Sufferers from these painfully enlarged toe joints should be careful to wear good soft boots which fit well.
