Watterson, the editor whom the

Between four and FIVE thousand
furnance men had their wages in
creased ten and fifteen cents on
Saturlay-the third advance they
have received in the past three
months. With American iron
winning a market on its merits in
Europe and Asia, to say nothing
of the vast market which has OPP
ened at home, il is no wonder that
skilled labor is commanding a
premium, or that prosperity is
making all the furnances fairly
roar.-( Philadelphia Record.)

A Kontucku Nose 5.

The eight by ten Republican ora
tors and newspapers in kentucky
are fond Of calling their candidate
for Governor a Moses. The meta
phor or alleged parallel is some
what mixed and considerably
faulty. II Mr.. Bradley comes TO
no better end than did the great
leader OF the Israelites he will save
his or some other mans money by
resigning his candidacy and retir-
ing to the shades OF his beloved
Garrard. Let us see. In some de-
gree the Republicans in this State
have points OF resemblance to the
tribes OF Israel. They have wan
dered a long time in thewllderness.
They are foot sore and weary, and,
II they only knew it, their prom
lsed land is as far of asever.
"At times to faiths discerning eye
The golden gates appear"
but 1t is only a phantom, a deceit
full mirage. True, the mamma has
fallen once in a while. Ever and
anon the rock has been smitten,
and a tiny stream Of welcome re-
freshment has cooled the parched
tongues OF the weary pilgrims.
But this refreshment was not to
the rank and file. When Republic
cans ruled at Washington the boss
es in Kentucky had the benefit OF a
taste OF the mama, drop OF the
water OF life. But this was unsat-
isfying. 1t was only dream, as
it were, OF the Mecca Of their hopes,
They longed for the grapes OF Es-
chol and for the flesh pots beyond
the Jordan. Poor souls this Wis
ion still haunts them, and the sub
stance is as far away as ever. Now
as to Moses. In what respect is
Bradley, the Great Defeated, like
unto him? He has, it is true, es-
sayed the leadership Of his party
He put himself at their head a few
years ago, just as he did recently
at Louisville. But the Canaan was
not even sighted. His deluded
followers floundered about awhile
and then their Captain left them
in the slough Of despond. Moses
himself failed to reach the prom
ised land. From a lofty height he
saw a glimpse of the heritage, ther
died and was buried. So, too, will
it be with him whom the small fry
Of their party liken unto him. Id
dreams Of the gubernatorial Chair
and with great bluster and will
much cunning manipulation o
words he seeks to induce his fol
lowers and the sore-heads OF tn
other tribe to help him to a sea
therein. But the early days o
November come with bitter wind
and biting frosts. These will chill
the marrow in the bones OF thi
modern Moses, and on the evenin
of November 9th the clods will
rattle on his political coffin.
So, gentlemen Of the press an,
stump, don't give us this parable
any longer. It's too suggestive
don't you know. 1t means an OF
casional bite and sup for you, bu
for the Boss it means only
glimpse of milk and honey, an
then-a grave ON Nebo's lionel
height.

Advance in wages still continue,
and the most surprising part OF it is
that this is occurring in midsum-

this is the first time in a good many
years that Democratic times have
had half chance to prove what
they really ere.

It LOOKS Bad FOR HUTCH
The Humane Officer May Lose
Half His Salary
1T IS so RECOMMENDED
The Finance Committee OF the Council
Reports
Recommendation Will Probably Be Adopted
Tomorrow-Other Recomme dations
Made-SuppIy Committee

1t looks as il the monthly salary of
Humane officer Hutchins is to be cut
straight in half. Hutchins receives $50 a
month, the city paying half the money
and the county the other half. Last
Monday in the council Councilman Pes
sell moved that the municipal end of
Hutchins' wages be cut off. There
was considerable opposition to the nj o.
tion and it was referred to the finance
com mittee. That committee, at its m eet-
ing held yesterday, decided to recommend
that the Pessell motion be adopted.
With President Teed acting as mayor.
the motion will tomorrow probably pre-
vail. The objection to Hutchins is the
fact that he is not voter of the city, and
also the divorce proceedings recently
brought against the humane off Ger by
his wife up in Portland, Ore. The finance
committee yesterday also filed the fol-
lowing, to be acted upon by the council
tomorrow:
In the matter of the demand of H.
Workman for $4,000. purchase price OF
school site IN the Ninth ward, We re com.
mend the city treasurer be instructed to
withhold 5000 of said amount until the
lots are filled and the street graded. in ac-
cordance with the proposal OF NJ Work
man. and TO the satisfaction of the board
of education.
We recommend that the demands of
Emma A. Dobinson for $40. 900 ard
Henry G. Brainard for $780, for damages
caused by the grading of Brooklyn av-
enue, pc denied.
Recommend that petition from J. Bell
asking for rebate OF 81 on account Of
license be denied.
In the mstter of petition from the Los
Angeles Lighting CONF pany asking that
tax sales on lots 49, 35. 81, 80 and Al of
block B of the Also tract, and lot 81 of
the Ballesteros tract for the year 1SS0-S1,
to be found in volume 8 of tax sales. at
page 2S2, be cancelled upon the ground
that the same is on account of double
assessment, the city assessor having re-
ported to this committee that the state
ments therein contained are correct. We
recommend that said petition be granted
and the city clerk instructed to mark
saiu tax sale certificate cancelled and re-
deemed of record.
The supply com mittes of the council
adoption tomorrow:
Recommend that the contract for fur
nishing heat for the city Jail for the
period OF one year be awarded TO William
H. Ryan at the prices set forth in his
proposal.
Recommend that the city clerk be in
structed tn advertise for pro posals for
printing street notices.

ARE REMOVING THEIR DEAD
The Chinese Having Their Country.
mems Bones Exhumed
They Had Man at Work In the City Gem.
etery for Over q Week-So=1e
Mistakes nade

For the last week or mure the Chinese
have been taking up the bodies of their
countrymen in the city cemetery, pre-
paratory to shipping them to Ch ina.
Already twenty-six have been removed.
be taken.
Attention was first called to the fact
yesterday by the complaint made to the
health officer by Mr.. I. P. Smith, the at
tendant at the cemetery. He reported
that lhe Chinese we're opening the graves
of whiteDpeople, and had refused to cover
them up again when they learned of the
mistake. The officer visited the place
and instructed the Chinaman VINO was
taking the bones up that he would have
to fill up all the graves.
All San is the heather who has the
work in charge, and he is employed by
the One Sing company. He Is paid 50. so
for each body that he removes. The
bones are taken to the Chinese hospital,
where they are boxed, shipped to San
Francisco, and thence to China. The ex-
act reason for this is not known, but 1t is
probably another one of their clannish
customs, as they generally take up bodies
about this time each year and snip them
away.
haih " aS NcIy angry yoStcTuuy OeCduSc
there had been SO many bodies of white
people found in tie Chinese plot. When
interment was permitted there the Chi
nese were given the southwest corner. 1t
appears. however, that their preserves
have been encroached upon and as re-
suit Sam has been given an extra amount
OF work to perform,
No diff Guilty is experienced in distin-
gushing white person's grave from
that of Chinaman. All Sam does is to
look at the feet and the head. II he
finds that the hair has been plated into
queue and the remains of the shoes show
them to have originally been of celestial
make, then the bones are those OF a fel-
low countryman. and Sam tenderly re-
moves them from the decaying box puts
them into sack, and is s.. 80 the richer
for his pains. Should. on the other
hand, the bones be found deficient in
tIose very necessary qualifications, Sam
jumps from the grave uttering bitter ex-
ecrations over the innocent remains of
white people who have encroached upon
the Chinese burying preserves ana has to
enter his time TO the profit ana loss ac-
count.
He expects to finish the WORK within
few days more.
