ment aud the Atlas Dredging Company
Speaking of the proposed work, Al
vim r. Morrison, Of the Board of Trade
says:
"The great trouble Is that the 500 900

once in two years only serves TO dig g
hole fcr a certain distance In the river
when refills in a few months after thi
work Is done. There is less than min,
feet of water in the channel at low tide
below Third street bidge. which poin
lies between the principal shippinl
points and It's mouth; in fact. there II
scarcely more water than that any
where between the Jackson and Sharl
Company's works and Market street
One OF our shipyards last week refused
to bid On q vessel 300 feet In length be
cause of the condition of the river
fearing they would not be able TO han

BOOMERANG.
Fred Bach wrote that Jeffersonian
Democrat circular" said a prominent
Addicks man to an Evening Journal
reporter this morning.
Are you sure of that?" asked the
newspaper man.
Sure of it?" Why Of course am. His
idea was to food the city with them
and arouse so much indignation that il
would defeat the Republican ticket.
Twenty thousand copies were printed
and a big batch of them was sent out
in the Second ward. BY that time we
got on to his scheme. Walter II. Hayes
Winfield S. Quigley and Harry Brown
decided that they should not be sent
out, as they would prove retroactive
They called Bach up and told him that
no more of the circulars should go out
He became wrothy and told them that
he didn't write it to go into the fire
They replied that Il was poor politics
and would only serve to arouse a feel
ing of Indignation which would not bs
confined to Democrats. He kicked, bui
they were firm, and the outcome OF il
all was that about 10000 OF the circu.
lars went to the furnace. While a few
OF the other /, 900 were scattered through
the city, nearly all of that number
floated in the Second ward II you will
look at the election figures for the Sec
ond ward you will md that the Demo
cratic majority there was phenomenal
ly large, and the falling of in the Re
publican vote has been traced to Bach's

WILL THE JUDGE OOlT?
Has an Opportunity to Re-
ward the Faithful.
NOW THREE OFFICES IN ONE

UNLESS THEATTORNEY- GENERAL
CONSENTS TO A CONTINUANCE
OF THAT CONDITION TWO NEW
OFFICERS MUST BE APPOINTED
NEXT MONTH.
Republican circles are stirred up over
the probable action Of Judge Bradford
on July l. The hungry faithful In the
regular Republican camp are making a
bold stand for recognition, and unless
IL Is accorded them there will be hard
feelings engendered.
For the past twenty-seven years S.
Redmond Smith has been clerk OF the
United States Court, United States com
missioner and jury commissioner. The
office Of clerk OF the court Is worth a
little over $4,000 year; that OF the
commissioner is supposed to be worth
not less than $2,S00; while the salary
of the jury commissioner is nominal,
his duties being merely to help draw
the juries twice a year and putting the
names In the box. In addition to this,
the appointment of a deputy at from
1900 to $1,000 year Is also vested In
the clerk, so that, all things consider
ed, the position has been a highly de-
sirable one, particularly In the light OF
the long tenure.
BY law passed May 2S, 1896, to take
effect June 30, 1897, these three Offices
must be separated That Is to say the
United States commissioner cannot be
clerk of the court or jury commissioner
without the approval of the Judge and
the endorsement OF the attorney gen
eral OF the United States. It is not be-
lieved that Judge Bradford will lose
this opportunity to reward some OF his
old party friends and associates.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Smith will be
appointed commissioner, and regular
Republicans appointed clerk Of the
court and jury commissioner; but in
any event, there are two new offices To
give out to the faithful, and It is likely
that there viii be scramble for them.
III Mr.. Smith Is continued as clerk
there will be a new commissioner and
a new jury commissioner. On the other
hand, II Mr.. Smith is appointed com
missioner there will be a new clerk and
jury commissioner.
Judge Bradford may desire to take
advantage of the saving clause in the
act, which permits him, with the con-
sent OF the attorney general, to CON
tinue one man in all three offices. but
there are already abundant signs IN
the regular Republican camp that any
such effort will be exceedingly unpop-
ular.
Which ever way Judge Bradford de-
cides Il, and it is extremely likely that
he will continue Mr.. Smith as clerk or
commissioner, somebody will have good
4 fat offices for the next four years.
/ The Addicl1sites are making no move
in the matter, as they know that Judge
Bradford has neither love for nor pa
tience with anyone connected with the
gas man.
