Chicago, Dec. 14.-Gypsey, the ia.

four keepers, is soon to suffer for her
terrible past at the hands of the exc

the last several years been running the

self, will be wiped off the earth with a
stroke of lightning. Mr.. Harris be-
lieves that Gypsey will be of more use
to humanity when made into soap, SO
the animal will be e~lectrocuted at Tat
tersail's as soon as a date can be de.
cided upon.
Gypsey is we'll known all wei the
United States, and is considered the
most dangerous elephant in captivity.
She has toured the country with the
Harris combinations for ten years and
is at present at the winter quarters of
the circus. Last winter the animal es-
capped from its home and caused great
excitement on the West Side by run
ming through the streets, damaging
everything she came in contact with.

her keeper, was killed. the elephant

mar in charge of Gypsey threw up his
job and the big circus man, who is
unable to find another keeper, has been
poking food into the animal with a

decided to turn Gypsey over to science

the collector for a permit to electrocute

REGISTRATION IN THE
CITY,
FIVE THOUSAND INCREASE
OVER THE NUMBER THAT QUAIL
FLED DURING TWO DAYS LAST
SPRING.
FIRST, SEVENTH AID EIGHTH
The Wards I'm Which the Best Re-
suits We're Obtnlncd-Compn para
tive Statement.

The registration in all the wards OF
the city on Tuesday foots up the total
Of 1856, making total for the two
days of "a, 102. There was falling off
of nearly 1.400 on Tuesday as COM
pared with the total of the previous
week. but the weather probably had
something to do with that fact. The
total for the first two registration days
last spring was 19,106-a difference of
5000 in favor of this fall
The increase by wards is as follows:
First ward, 623; Second ward, 1854
Third ward, 205; Fourth ward, 1896;
Fifth ward 1876; Sixth ward, BAL; Sew
enth ward, So; Eighth ward, 72S; Ninth
ward, 306; Tenth ward. 233; Eleventh
ward. FOG. Total increase, 1885,
The increase is most noticeable in the
strong Democratic and Republican
wards. In the First which is a Re-
publican ward, it is claimed the large
registration is due to the efforts of the
labcring element to get into line. The
Republicans are confident the interest
shown in the registration is due en-
tirely to sound money influence. Both
parties express qualification at the
prospect Of a heavy vote in the ward.
The local Democratic ticket should
profit by the increase as the falling off
in the vote last spring was due almost
entirely to Democratic detection.
The Second ward also is being
claimed by both parties. The increase in
the Third is not startling, and neither
party is claiming any advantage.
ocrats. The ward is Democratic
normally, and while Large portion of
the vote is for sound money, it can
safely be reckoned for the county DEM
ocratic ticket. The Fifth shows apathy
as compared with other wards. There
is a vote approaching 1000 in that sec
ton Of the city, and it is estimated that
at least 5000 ballots will be cast. The
Republicans, particularly are hopeful
of a heavy vote in the ward. otherwise
the majority will be Democratic. May
or Doran's end of town-the Sixth
shows the interest manifested in the
issues of the campaign. The ward is
certain to cast $500 votes if not more
The Seventh, Of course, is at the top
of the list with a tremendous increase
It's pretty safe to say 80 per cent Of
the vote is registered. Some Of the
precincts approach the 400 limit, which
will necessitate reapportionment of
the ward. Republicans count upon at
least 1880 majority in the ward.
In the Eighth the Democrats find
much comfort. The organization of
the party in the ward is almost per-
feet. That the increased registration
Is largely due to Democratic energy
there can be no doubt. The Demo-
cratic majority for the county ticket IN
the Eighth will more than offset the
small majorities the Republicans may
|. get in the First, Tenth and Eleventh
wards. These latter wards, embracing
the midway district, sshow distinct
gains that will in all probability be en-
joyed by the Republicans
Following is the total by wards and
precincts, and comparison with the
same days of registration last spring:

justment of labor demand and labor
supply to one another
This faulty adjustment is not
nor to the gold standard nor
to any other legislation or lack OF legis-
lation whatever. Nearly all Of it is
consequence of the enormously rapid
advance in the invention and use of
labor-saving machines. Were it not
that society is more mobile than for
merly, that 1t accommodates itself with
less friction to new conditions, the
changes which this necessitates would
involve hardships uncomfortable If the
same relative amount of distress were
created today by the introduction of
new machine that followed the employ
ment of spinning and weaving ma
chimes in factories when they first took
the place of hand labor, society would
almost disintegrate. Take any occupa-
ton that you please. Go into the
place where it is carried on. Examine
the most improved machinery and see
what amount of labor it has displaced,
then reckon the total amount of labor
thus displaced throughout the coun-
try, and the difficulty with which a
man of mature years, who knows, prob
ably, how to do one thing well, and only
one, by life's practice, is able to make
living at some unfamiliar employ
ment where the ranks are already sim
ilarly overcrowded, and the wonder is,
not that there are unemployed laborers,
but that the contingent is so small.
1t Is one of the conditions of pro-
gress that entails suffering from which
there is no escape. The use of labor
saving machinery in the long run Gre
ates demand for more labor than
was required before. This is one of the
most familiar and best established
laws of economic science, When every
thing is adjusted to the new condi-
ton there is more work and better pay
for all work than there was before.
But the period of transition from one
system to the other is the time of
suffering, of loss and uncertainty for
number of men who are unable to
find employment.
No people have ever set themselves to
meet this problem practically with the
courage, sturdy independence and
practical success of the American la
borer. In no country have the changes
ever been so sudden and severe. Cap

NATIONAL DEMOCRACY VINDI-
GATED

The Democrats of Minnesota who
hold by the old faith will read with en-
thusiasm and delight every line of the
splendid speech delivered last night by
Hon. O. M. Hall in advocacy of the
principles of National Democracy. This
state has produced no ADLER, more loyal,
more courageous Democrat than Mr..
Hall. Today he is on the picket line
for Palmer and Buckner and his bull
lets ny straight to the mark. In STIR
ring and incisive sentences he told his
audience their duty. From the first
word to the last there was neither I'M
certainty nor apology. cit is as a.
Democrat that 1 address you tonight"
he said, "a Democrat untarnished by
Populism, unsupported of Republican
ISM And his brave words and unan-
swerable arguments were appIauded to
the echo by those who have not forgot
ten how to reward courage and devo-
ton to principle.
For Mr.. Hall, as for MANY of us il
Democratic idea, which we believe to
be essential to the maintenance of Iib-
erty. That idea is equal rights to all.
and the least amount of interference
by the state with the individual. TT
is represented today by the National
Democratic party and by no other. In
few telling sentences Mr.. Hall ex-
posed the hollow pretences of ReputJi-
canism and the impossible dreams Of
Bryan Populism. With the mastery Of
his subject that belongs to the student
OF finance, he went down the line and
stripped the nonsense from the argu-
ment for free silver. His exposition of
the principles Of sound money, his de-
nunciation of our present currency
system. and those who are responsible
for it. his remedy for the evils that we
suffer, are beyond criticism. His adj
dress is a simple, yet scholarly state
ment Of the financial question from the
side of practical fact and economic
science. From Bryan and AItgeld the
appeal IS taken TO JEFFERSON, and
Democrat can finger long over his
choice
1t is in his attitude in the present
emergency that Mr.. Hall stirs our
warmest admiration and commands our
heartiest sympathy. 1t is the eyerlast-
ing truth that the support of the
National Democratic ticket this year
is the highest service that
man can render to Democracy and to
his country. Not merely as protest
against both Republicanism and Popu-
ism, but as witness Of the inmor-
tally of Democratic principle, and as a
rallying point for the party reorgani-
zation Of the future. A vote for the
Palmer ticket will count more than anv
other. Mr.. Hall summed it up tersely
when he said: "A vote for Palmer is.
rot a vote lost. 1t is protest against
the folly and the madness of this year

1896, and 1t Is a hope and an expression
of possible success in 1900" Setting our
faces to the future, 1t is not our duty
alone, it is our high privilege to show
to all the world that there are those
who will not bow the knee to falsehood
in whatever garments it may be robed;
who viii not surrender their allegiance
to principles, without which no nation
has saved itself from retrogression, and
without which liberty cannot endure
1t is an inspiring movement, and Mr.
Hall has presented it to our people at
its best, in this address, which is
pitched to the high note of patriotic
fervor and devotion that has never
found this people Indifferent or recre-
ant when it sounded the command.

A FALsEHOoD ON IT'S FRONT.

While the address put out this morn
ing by the Democratic state central
committee is the customary tonic that
is administered by both parties lust
before election to the voter who is suf-
fering from nervous prostration. it's
sincerity in ether respects is impeached
by the fact that 1t wears a downright
lie as the precious jewel set upon it's
front. We do not propose to mince
words in dealing with the statement at
the outset of this manifesto that 'ff
the metropolitan daily press would
fully and fairly publish the news. it
would not be necessary for us to take
this means for explaining the situa-
ton" 1t Is a fair and settled maxim
of the law that a witness whose testi-
mony is false in one respect is not to
be trusted in any other. This unprece-
dented falsehood vitiates every state
ment with which it is connected.
We know nothing about the
policy of any other members of
the metropolitan daily press, but,
as far as the Globe is con-
cerned, we characterize this assertion
as false in every line and syllable. 1t
is known to be false by those who ut
tered it. The columns of the GIob e
have been open to every man on either
side Of this contest. No communica-
ton, temporarily worded and of rea-
sonable length, has failed of publica-
ton. Furthermore, the free use of the
G o e as a means of communication
with the public has been offered to
those in conduct of the Democratic
campaign, and personally to one of the
gentlemen whose names are appended
to this document.
This being the fact, we ask the pub
lie to judge how far these men can be
trusted when they charge the metro
politan daily press with a refusal to
fully and fairly publish the news. Read
in the light of this original falsehood
the remainder of the circular needs lit
tie comment from US 1t i'll BELTS those
to decry an appeal to class against
class who have made their own CAM
paign on those lines from the begin
ming. 1t is only fair to say of the whole
circular letter that 1t win suffer In the
public estimation from the predatory
statement, which we have proved to be
wilfully false, as far as the Globe is
concerned.

COULDN'T STAND 1T.

The mysteriously persuasive influence
that hangs about garbage contracts in
this city has conquered the mayor s
common council to submission. For a
little while it really seemed as if Mayor
Doran were about to achieve distinc-
ton for himself by laying down the
rule that when people enter into con-
tract to perform certain services for
the municipality they should be COM
PEELED to execute their agreement or
to pay the penalty set down therein
and guaranteed by their bonds. In no
other city that is at all decently man
aged is this rule denied, nor is it in
our own save only for the favored
contractors who have charge of the
removal of city garbage. 1t has now
passed into a precedent seemingly too
sacred to be broken that contracts,
penalties, bonds and agreements of all
sorts have no binding force upon these

and if their offers are too low they
themselves will be the only losers by
it. If, indeed, a contract is not let to

impossible, there is a prompt threat of
legal proceedings to compel the coun-
Gil to give the work to the lowest bid

people and violating every principle
of public decency and official honor
What the influence may be that
works these extraordinary results we
have never been able to determine.
There was glimmering of hope in the
brave announcement of Mayor Doran
that he proposed to treat garbage con-
tractors like other people, but it is
extinguished forthwith by his abject
surrender. He has approved the bill in
violation of right and common decency,
and the farce goes on In the mean

reported $40 complaints from house
holders in single month, for non-re-

terms of contract. Think Of what this
means for the health and comfort of
the city. Think of the inconvenience
and the indignation of the householder,
who, paying his share Of the money
received by the garbage contractors.

about his premises, makes complaint to
the health officer, is informed that
there is no remedy for him, and then
is obliged to hire private parties at his
own expense to do that for which he
and others have already paid. It is a
public wrong and public scandal that
this should continue year after year
without change or interference. Those
who are party to it invite the sever
