SOME FIGHT LEFT YET.
AssembIyman ResrdOn Takes n Fall
Out of n Younger Nan.

Assemblyman Timothy Reardon had live
ly encounter Tuesday night with pugiistic
visitor at the Reardon block where the as
semblyman is living with his family. Mrs
Reardon also received blow from the fist
of her husbands assaapt, but was not ser
iously hurt. Assembiyman Reardon was
struck blow over the left eye and in q
rough and tumble tussle was somewhat shak-
en- up.
The trouble arose over the boisterous con-
duct of caller at the rooms of a tenant in
the block. Assembyman Reardon cautioned
the noisy young man to be more quiet but
as soon as he returned to his apart
ments the turmoil began again. Reused to
the fighting point. Assemblyman Reardon
went forth to enforce his demands for quie-
tude. He told the Objectionable caller that
repetition of the annoyance would mean his
ejectment from the building. The young
man replied profanely and the aSsemblyman
seized him by the collar. There was a scuf-
fe and the young man landed vicious blow
en- the assemblyman's physiogomy. Then the
obnoxious caller and the assembiyman closed
in a grab-as grab-can collar-and- tie
wrestling bout, which ended with both pres
trate upon the floor. At this juncture Mrs.
Reardon, who had followed her husband to
the room, rushed to his assistance and de-
manded that the younger man cease the at
tack upon the assemblymar. The fellow
sprang to his feet and, aiming blow at Mrs.
Reardon. which glanced from her forehead.
ran out of the room and escaped from the
building before police officer could be sum-
money.
When a reporter for the G | o b called at
the Reardon block early last evening, Mrs.
Reardon said that her husband could not be
seen, he had retired. She told the story
of the assault. however, and said that AS
semblyman Reardoz had not been at all in
jured, nor had she herself. The trouble she
said, grew out Of the conduct of an objec-
tionable caller at the block, whom her hus-
band had attempted to eject. when mere
scufle occurred in which no one was hurt
1t was reported that an attempt had been
made to hold Assemblyman ~Reardon up by
highwaymen, but this his wife absolutely
denied IS

AssenDlyInan Thompson opinion as to the
powers or the council, which will possibly

I nous s. Ihat the only way the council COM

AnpeachInent proceedings against the chief
OF the fire department, or one of the fire
commissioners. Owing to the charge having
Deen made that the whole investigation is
nothlng but political scheme for the pur-

the Investigation will stop at least so far
as as tne council is concerned. The opinion
OF the corporation attorney as submitted to

are anxious for political reasons to proceed

order the impeachment of Chief Jackson re-

men spoken to yesterday were Of the opin-

gone over the matter last summer and sub

member of the fire board said last even
ing that the board did not fear any inn
parchment proceedings but they were not
satisfied to let the matter rest in It's present
status. Several witnesses had been called
and had testified to a lot of opinions and
hearsay testimony as to the action of the
department the night the Schultz block was
burned. For the future action of the board
in the matter, the commissioner said he
could not speak, but individually he was in
favor of having the department put in it's
testimony against Il that which had been
brought out by the assembly committee.

THE RUSH FOR OFFICE.

That the rush for Office, under the
new Administration, is tremendous,
is we'll known. But that it assumes the
proportion of a torrent is something
which the great majority have not yet
considered.
Some of the tremendous pressure can
be cleaned from the statement that
since the Inauguration the Post Office
Department alone has received $4,000
letters relating to appointments to
sayl nothing of thousands of appli-
cants who are personally urging their
petition.
If this immense number of letters is
poured into one department., the en-
tire torrent of applications to all the
departments must be something an
palling.
But there is one pleasant thought to
be CLEANED from this craze for Office.
If all the letters are properly stamped,
the applications ought to net a snug
sum to Uncle Sans receipts, and thus
contribute something towards paying
the vast army Of those who hold pub
lie place.

tyrannous action OF the monopolies
are Russell and Pingree, two Repub'i-
cans. On certain lines they are TAX
ing the same bold and patriotic stand
that the FIVE Populist Governors are
taking. 1t affords the CAUcAsIAx
pleasure to give them full credit for
these evidences Of their courage and
patriotism. OF course, they both made
q great mistake 10 supporting Mckin-
ley for President, but We suppose that
like thousands and millions Of other
honest men who believe in the princi-
pies Of Abraham Lincoln, they tried to
satisfy their censciences BY giving the
old party one more chance.
1t is needless to ray that these two
distinguished Governors have reached
the point where they must take their
choice between giving up their con-
victions and staying in the party OF
monopolies and trusts, or on the other
hand to stand up for what they know
10 just and necessary to restore pros
perlty, and repudiate the party that
has deserted and betrayed every prin-
ciple for which Lincoln contended.
