wowing Daily.

Rairey. Lanigan and all the rest of the
Democratic wire-pullers are in a guam
dary. Great trial and tribulation is theirs.
for there has arisen crisis-the appoint.
ment of a License Collector, and many
are eager to draw down the salary apper-
tanning to hat position.
Now, the power of appointment rests
with Mayor Phelan, Treasurer Wild ber
and Auditor Broderick. But the Super
visors have the power of confirming or re-
iecting the appointment.
Treasurer Widber belongs in the Re-
publican fold, while the other two are
Democrats.
majority of the Supervisors are also
Democrats.
That causes the trouble. For only one
prominent Republican has entered the
contest, Fred w. Lees, the son of Chief of
Police Lees. But of the others there are
just fourteen.
That the Chief wants that son, the
incum bent, to succeed himself is a
matter of prophecy; that said son wishes
to succeed himself is, perhaps, not so far
outside the boundary of speculation. The
question arises at this time is, "Can the
TWO Democrats afford as a partv measure
to support Repu bIican?"
Then, IN such case, another question
ar ses, viz. Could strong enough pressure
be brought to bear on the Supervisors to
have hem confirm the appointment?
These and other questions are affording
food for much discussion among politi-
Clans, but when any of them are ques-
toned by an outsider not even the oyster,
in ali his taciturnity, could be more un-
communicative.
That the ghost of future politics casts 8
shadow over the affair is seen clearly
when il is RENE m bered that the selection
may have something to do with the hopes
OF Mayor Phelan as against Congressman
| Mcguire for the gubernatorial chair and
Auditor Broderick as successor to Sheriff
Richard WheIan.
Among those now in the field, il Dame
Gossip be not in error, are: Charles Gill
dea, ex-president of the IroquoIs Club, a
political brave; Jim Fenton OF the Mint; !;
John Brown of O'Brien's dry goods store !;
Jack Bonnet, Tom Pinder and ex-Tax
Collector John II. Grady.
On the lst of next month the lucky man
will take his seat in the official chair
But owing to tn" cond tion of affairs at
present there are many occupying the
anxious" seat now.

women applied for accommodations
One, tall stately blonde, and the other, a

The couple ordered a light repast, but
Dolly alone ate, Ethel being somewhat
hysterical.

boic acid in glass of WHISKY and swal-
lowed the whole in gulp.
The corrosive poison burned the girl
most frightfully and her friend and the
waiter carried her to the drugstore of
Waller Bros, at the corner of Grant ave-
nue. and Geary street, where an effort was
made to relieve her. Before this could be
done, however, and even while the drug
gist was mixing up the potion, Policeman
Collins picked up the writhing girl and
placed her in a hack and drove off to the
Receiving Hospital, where she died within
an hour

Worden is doing a great deal of ram

ln their plans for bettering the
lot Of toilers and improving social
conditions. But here is a request
to congress for action along lines
that certainly are not subverslve
Of social order, but just the oppo-
site. Il is nothing more than a
plea that workingnleu be given
security in the possession Of the
small earnings they may lay by
against old age and misfortune.
They want simply better protec-
ton for the savings which con-
stitute their property. Surely
this is a demand that ought not
to be refused by those who talk
SO earnestly about the sacred
rights of property when larger
interests are at stake. Property
in small amounts should be be as
secure from loss under civilized
government as property in the
larger sums which it is possible
for the comparative few alone to
possess.
Patriotic citizens interested in
the well-being of the government
and the advancement of society
should interest themselves in
helping workingrneu to secure
the realization of this hope for
Esafe repositories for their hard
carried savings. The request is
such a mild one and so manifest
lly for the benefit of wage-earners
without being opposed to the
interests of society at large that
it should be granted without de
llay.---Chicago Record.

Travelling Grocery Fakes.

Randolph, Neb., Times: Some of our
people have been patronizing travelling
grocery fakirs and it now develops that
some of our farmers may haye a law
suit on their hands for refusing some
goods ordered at an excessively high
price. 1t is our God given privilege to
buy of and sell to whom we please, but
the man whose interests are all CEN
tered here and who must continue to
do business here is less liable to at
tempt to defraud: his position is such
that he knows it to be positive injury
to his business for him to make any
but perfectly fair dealings; he helps
Epay the taxes to keep up our schools,
sidewalks and municipal, county and
! state affairs, he invests his money in
real estate and personal property
which helps to make your property
more valuable, if you need food, cloth
ling or medicine and have not the spot
cash, he is the one who carries you till
prosperity comes your way. The trav-
cling grocerman does none of these,
Do you really think you are benefiting
yourself by buying OF him? There is
lone obligation which you should not
oyerlook at least, that is, if you are go
ling to spend your money with these
foreign concerns, be generous enough
to pay up the local dealers who have
carried you through hard times before
spending all your money with the 9th.
