THE HONORABLE UNION.
The Democrats Wanted to Hold Their
,yOhN,

Jobs.
The great reform movement which
covered tile entire West was forcing
it's way East and South. Thorough
and complete reform in finance. trans.
portation and land had become the bat.
tle.cry Of we'll nigh a majority OF tho
people west of the Missouri river, and
Of Texas and Georgia A great party.
tho democratic party, had proven
traitor to the country and was in the
throes Of death. Democratic politicians
foresaw that their jobs were about tc
be lost. Politicians who had cast the
votes Of their states once, twice. three
times for Cleveland in as many ma
tiGnal conventions, saw that the time
had come when they had either to
cease cooperating with Wall street or
give up their governorships, senator
ships. congressional seats and county
Offices. This fact stared them In tho
face. They looked about them for
means Of holding their jobs. Certain
Western republicans and certain prom
inent populists were striving for y
union of reform forces" SO they could
set reelected instead OF being sue
ceeded by populist advocates Of gov
ernment ownership OF railroads. Why,
yes, let's unite, was the happy thought
Of Vest. Voorhees,, Jones Of Arkansas
and thousands Of other democratic
otice-holders and offlce-seekers. Let's
unite in the democratic party And
Stewart. and Teller, and Weaver, and
Allen. &c., &C.. said let II be so."
Just how many months ago they an.
swered thus the public does not know.
but circumstances very strongly point
to date nearly two years past. Tha
union of reform forces" advocated BY
Senator Stewart. now and for thirty
years or more an attorney and lobbyist
for the Central Pacific railroad, was be.
lieved at the time by many of us az
intended as a move in opposition to
government ownership Of railroads.
and especially in opposition to the gov
ernment taking possession Of the Pa
c!ic railroads under the past due mort
cages
Who were the head leaders in the
move TO capture the peoples party?
Jones Of Arkansas and Senator Stew
| art.
Jones less than two years ago intro
tluced bill in the senate providing for
four things: The issuance Of Ave hun
dred million dollars Of bonds: national
banks to have one hundred per cent on
bonds deposited instead of ninety per
cent, and the charge for same to be re-
duced to one-quarter Of one per cent
per annum; the destruction Of part OF
the greenbacks and silver notes; for
the unlimited coinage OF silver. All
| these propositions in the one bill.
Stewart was on the senate Pacific
railroads committee, That committee
reported in favor of extending the time
on the debt of the Pacific railroads to
the government for eighty years and
| reducing the interest rate on the debt
to two per cent. Stewart as member
Of that committee favored the report.
The report Of the committee claimed
that the government had better re-
lease all claims on the roads than to
| adopt the principle of government own
ership by taking possession Of the Pa
citic railroads and operating them.

Concord, Baltimore and Charleston he
Ing Fitted for Service.
vALLAJo, CAL, Feb. y.-Work on the
boat Concord, now undergoing repairs
at the Mare Island navy yard, is being
hurried SO that she may be commits
stoned about April l. All woodwork
not absolutely necessary has been re-
moved as a safeguard against fire in ac-
ton. Work is progressing on the big
cruiser Baltimore also. A new spar
deck has been laid and many improve
ments made below besides a. thorough
overhauling of machinery. The cruiser
Charleston, which has been tied up at
the dock out of commission for six
months, awaiting her turn for repairs,
has been hauled up under the big
shears, preparatory to beginning extern
sive repairs on her engines and boilers.
This ship was originally fitted with
double cabins and especially roomy Of
ficers' quarters for use as flagship,
but with the advent of so many large
ships which are available for flagship
duties, it is not longer necessary to
have ship of her size, 3,730tons, fitted
for such duties, and her officers quar-
tiers are to be reduced accordingly, to
the size available for cruising vessel.
The cabin space will be much smaller
and the officers staterooms and mess
rooms condensed into small space, thus
giving more room for the crew. A
sick bay will also be fitted aft with all
the modern improvements. It will
probably be nearly year before the
Charleston is ready for service.

Senators Forgot Their Dignity.
In the senate the members were
lolling about in their seats. The place
began to smell of smoke and soon dense
clouds rolled down the rear elevator
shaft. Senator Grady of Philadelphia
quickly warned the senators and there
was general hustle to remove effects.
Fire alarms were sent in and the digni.

recover property were driven out. The
flames shot along the senate roof, about
the dome and on to the roof of the

in every portion of the building and
there was no hope for the structure.
For time it looked as though the adj.

destroyed but shifting wind saved
them. About o'clock the flames were
under control, the fire having been con-
