Bailey, notifying him of his appoint
ment as q patrolman Mr.. Taylor went
to the city hall yesterday morning in
company with several friends and after
a long interview with Mayor Bailey
came to the conclusion that he was not
the choice of the chief executive and
withdrew his name.
He stated to the mayor that he was
candidate for chief Of police and moth
ing else and didn't propose to give up
his position for an uncertainty. If the
mayor could not assure him that he
Wa. co be raised to the chieftaincy. he
said, he did not propose to do duty as
patrolman.
The mayor suggested as q compro-
mise that he take the Office of captain
and asked him to give the matter lit
tie thought. MIR. Taylor agreed to do
this and left the office promising to
return at o'clock I'm the afternoon
with his decision. At that hour he vis
tied the mayor and reiterated his first
statement that he was a candidate for
chief of police or nothing and could not
see his way clear to accept the cap
taincy.
To Tribune reporter Mr.. Taylor said
that when he first announced his can
didacy to Mayor Bailey he told the
mayor that he did not want the posi-
tiOn if the mayor was more favorably
impressed with any other candidate,
consequently he had no i'll feeling
against the mayor and was still DEM
Ocrat.
This. however. was said for publica-
tion and while it may truly voice Mr..
Taylor's sentiments, it is common re-
port. that his friends do not all feel
in a like mood. 1t was expected that
Mr. Taylor's resignation would be made
known to the select council last night
and the name of John FitZsimmons
sent in as his successor with a view to
ultimately making the latter captain
of police. Nothing was communicated
to council by Mayor Bailey about the
matter. however. and Taylor's success
sor will not be officially named until the
next meeting of select council on May
81. 1t is probable that body will then
endeavor to call a halt on the indis-
criminate removal Of police officers
without cause If the mayor should at
tempt to make further removals as
seems highly probable.
Mr.. Robling yesterday went on duty
under Chief Simpson and was assigned
to do detective work. This will allow
| the chief-elect to draw pay and save
him the price Of patrolman's uniform,
which would not be of use to him after
June l, when he will don the gold
shield ard velvet -euffed Prince Albert
| that are so necessary to the dignity OF
the chieftancy.

committee. The testing of the material

BURNS LAW FAULTY.
Mr.. Watson argued that IL what Mr..
Burns contended was right there was
nothing more to be said, but Mr. Burns
law was faulty he said for at least two
courts of this county in instances ex-
actly similar to this one had sustained
couEcifs action in giving the contract
to the highest bidder when there was a
question as TO the quality OF the ma
terial which the lower bidder proposed
to use. IF we are to have land as

new bids and we will get the paving
done even cheaper than Dunn Brothers
propose to do il.
Mr.. Gearhart presented q petition

jority of the foot frontage. praying that
Dunn Brothers bid be accepted Mr.
Jessup filed n paper containing an out
line of the arguments Of the Dunn peo-
pie and petition from the majority of

Richardson, each made short speeches
for the enlightment of the committee
on asphalt matters in general and the
difference between lake and land as
phalt in particular.
1t was expected that the committee
would arrive at some decision last night
but such was not the case. Mr.. Keller
favored giving the contract to the low
est bidder, but the other four members
Of the committee. Messrs. Noone, Cor

A Friendly Feeling.

''No. sUh,' said Colonel Carter to the
man with small, angry-looking spots on his
forehead, Il shall not puhmit you 10 abuse
the mosquito in my presence. I used to
dislike them, but now I am one of the
stanchest friends that mosquito has"
Still, they annoy one replied the man
with the spots.
"Of Cohse. But they must live Why
complain because the mosquito stays up
all night and has his collations, his songs
and his aftuh-dinDer speeches.?
You seem to feel very kindly toward the
brute"
Il have reason to. Let me tell you, sub,
that mosquito once saved the life of a
friend of mine. My friend told me the
story himself. We were speaking OF large
mosquitoes. and he said that he once found
himself III a prohibition town, where the
mosquitoes were larger than any he had
ever seen. The party he was with had q
bottle, but no corkscrew. and they would
have perished with thirst If they had not
taken one of these mosquitoes. extracted
his bill and used it to get the cork out.
That mosquito was a martyr. sub. and ever
since that time. sub. I have respected him

One Permit or Many?

Now that the permit-issuing privilege OF
the chief of police has been restored by the
District Commissioners, the small boy AMI
the small boys parents may celebrate the
Fourth of July in accordance with time
honored custom. All that the celebrant
needs is a sufficiency of the harmless
variety of fireworks and legal permission
to turn them loose. This means-from the
public standpoint-that everyone Is at lib
trty to destroy all manner of fireworks.
save only those that may reasonably be
termed dangerous. From the official stand
point, It means that responsibility has been
transferred to the shoulders of the chief
of police who has practically been directed
to issue permits to the thousands who will
apply for them before the closing office
hour next Friday. The issuing of such q
great number of individual permits is really
unnecessary: it involves personal applica-
ton, and a vast quantity of clerical work:
policemen will undoubtedly have to be
called in from street duty to act as clerks.
The better way, the businesslike way. the
sensible way, would be for the chief of
police to issue a general permit to all the
residents of the District of Columbia, spec!-
flying, however, that the use of firearms or
the explosion of cannon crackers cannot be
allowed under any circumstances. Such
proclamation would save an immense
amount of labor. and would accomplish all
that can be done by the individual permit.
As matter of fact. 1t will not be possible
for policemen to exercise such close super
vision of affairs as the permit system pre-
supposes- 1t is not imagined. when there
are known TO be many thousand permits in
circulation. that policemen will require all
persons engaged in the ignition of fire
crackers to show lawful credentials for SO
doing The permits will. doubtless be
broadly ms rued-no official is going to in
s!st that each child be equipped with d
icense-why then would it not be much the
better way to grant omnibus permission
with proper restrictions?

A Democratic auandary.

1t Is among the political probabilities that
gold democrats will bolt the Chicago con-
vention just as silver republicans declared
their independence at st. Louis. Up to this
time there has been no testimony to tho
existence of spirit of compromise in the
hearts of the silver democrats who will con-
troll the Chicago gathering. so the odds
are favorable to division of the democratic
forces, which will most likely result in in
ternecine strife at least as troublesome as
that which disturbs the republicans 1t
does not appear that the gold democrats
have as yet decided to bolt: they are dis
cussing the situation and find it difficult to
reach a conclusion. because whils principle
urges them to insist upon a sound currency
partisan argument is tugging at their coat
tails and demanding loyalty to democratic
doctrine as 1t Is expounded by majority of
the democratic party. In the course of this
struggle some Of the weaklings will doubt
less succumb to numbers and vociferous-
ness. but much the larger percentage of
those who are opposed to the silver stand
ara will stand firm. prepared to do what
they can toward maintaining the national
credit no matter what the names on the
ticket which they vote. True men never
attempt to compromise with conscience; they
refuse to listen to sophistries in which 1t
is insinuated that honesty Is not always the
best policy. Such men In the democratic
party who are convinced that silver mono
metallism means national disaster are now
