The West Side legislature assem-
bled last night in regular adjourned
session and proceeded to business,
in business like manner.
Mayor Turner called the council
to order and Secretary Burke called
the roll.
Those present answering to their
names were: City Attorney Waugh
an, Aldermen Kelly, Beard, Estes,
Gallagher, Mathews, Mcdowell and
Walker.
City Recorder Burke read the
minutes of the previous meeting
and they we're adopted.
The following bills we're then read
and approved

Lintz~~carpenter.work S1O.5O; Tom
Daley, plumbing 50. so; Glover Leaf
Manufacturing Company, sash and
work, $4.99; f. W. Offenhauser, ing
surance $3.50.
The committee on sewerage asked
for further time and it was granted.
The committee on fire service
reported in favor of consolidating
with the East side, or some method
to improve the fire service, Mr..
Robt. Miller, a young man OF ex-
perience in fire fighting matters
was present and he made talk.
He said he would furnish his own
horses and services and keep a
telephone at the Hose Carriage
Station and look after everything
for SIS a month. The council closed
the trade with Mr.. Miller and he is
now with the West side fire depart
ment working under paid service.
Aldermen Bill Kelley and Chas.
Beard were appointed to look after
the fire service, and also Mr. Miller.
Justice Robt. Haywood who has
his justice mill in the city hall was
granted permission to have shelving
put in the vault for the safety of
his papers.
The city engineer was instructed
to lay off into lots southeast quarter
of Rose Hill Cemetery after which
the council will advertise for bills to
grade it.
An ordinance was read and adopt
ed compelling property owners to

refusal to comply. The territory

The council then took up the Dr.
G. G. Burke matter of re-instate-
ment as alderman. City Attorney
Vaughan SAID the doctor was out
and he did not believe in re-instate-
ment. DR.. Burke was there and
made his talk. He claimed that he
never left the city with the inten-
tion Of making his home elsewhere,
and that the law is plain as to
where mans wife is, is that mans
home. After he delivered himself,
Mayor Turner, the umpire said out
on FIRST, " and off went the official

REPUBLICAN CLUB FORMED.
A Fine Meeting at Sherman Mills Addressed
by Hon. L. Powers.

The sherman Mills correspondent
Of the Wing & Courier writes: A Re-
publican honest money campaign club
was organized in tbns village Satur-
day evening last with the following
officers; Isaac Cushman, president:
l.. e. Jackman. secretary and treas
urer; L. G. Caldwell A. Cushnan. T..

After the organization Hon. LIewelIyu
Powers addressed the meeting of some
TWO hundred people who had gathered
at very short notice to hear the next
Governor Of Maine. The address was
an hour and a half in length and no
ono thought of being weary but were

quent words of the speaker.

scrlptlpn Of the blighting effects Of

ton to tariff legislation showing its
eject upon wage earncrs, held the
audience spell bound =

one pleasing incident Of the meeting

Several who have been former Dem

The carly opening Of the ball in Sher-
nan was an impromptu affair of only
four or five hours notice. which shows
that With proper notice the people will
turn out in force. Never We're the
masses more in earnest to know the
issues Of a campaign than now in this
town. Education on the questions of
tariff and finance is what the people
want, and with that there is no fear Of
the result in state or national cleo
tons.

The Mexican Dollar Illustration.

AS most people in this State know
or ought to know. Mexico has free
coinage of silver, such as is proposed
in the Chicago platform and is advo-
Gated by Mr.. Sewall. The Mexican
government stamps 400 grains of silver
a dollar The piece of money then
contains seven and one-half more
grains of standard silver than our sill
Yer dollar. Its market value as silver
is about % cents Did the Mexican
governments stamp of one dollar give
it any additional purchasing power ?
No. Wherever the Mexican dollar goes
it purchases only about half as much
as an American silver dollar, because
the United States government says ii
will make its silver dollars good as
stamps piece of coin Il dollar under
d system. of free coinage it does not
stand behind it with it's credit 1t only
permits the silver piece to take its
chances in comparison with the gold
piece.
The idea of paying off wage work
ers in Mexican dollars as an object
lesson has caught the fancy Of en-
ployers in several parts of the coun-
try They buy the dollars for 50 cents
and give the employee two of them in
lieu of one American dollar. He thus
is afforded a striking illustration of
two things; that free coinage Will
bring American silver dollars down t.
their market value as silver, just as
has been done in Mexico and that the
purchasing power of his work is just
free coinage in this country. receive
two fifty cent dollars where he now re-
ceives one 100-cent dollar. but only
one deprecated dollar He knows that
wages never did and never can rise 81
readily as that. We are glad thai
scme of the firms in this State have
recently paid off in Mexican dollars
The wage Garner cannot avoid. we be
leve, a sensible conclusion after sucl
Il lesson. And by the way how docs
he like Juggling around his weeks
wages in fifty cent dollars? And does
he think silver good circulating mo
dunn? Doesn't he think some other
form Of money better adapted to com
mon use?
