COSTLY KIND OF FIGHT.

Shooting of big guns costs much
money. A naval war is one Of ships. of
big guns, costly projectiles and expen-
6lVe ammunition rather than Of brig
AIDES and divisions of men. To shoot a
thirteen inch rifle once costs as much
as the pay and maintenance for a day
OF an entire regiment OF infantry. The
Chicago Record has been figuring out
the cost OF a sea fight If no lives were
lost and no ships destroyed, declaring
that it would cost $2,0 00, 600 or IS. OOo. 600
for ammunition alone TO fight a first
class battle with modern arms and pro-
Jectiles, and large part Of the $50 900. -
Geo appropriated the other day will so
Tor powder and shotAn ordinary allow
ance Of ammunition for one of the big
guns costs about as much as the gun
itself. and one can realize that We will
need an enormous amount Of powder
before our navy goes TO war, for it takes
nearly half a ton every time one OF the
big thirteen-inch guns is fred. There
were $50 tons Of powder on the Maine
when she went down, and her maya
zines were only half filed. The biz
battieships and the first-rate cruisers

What Has He ponsl

We have always thought that our
fellow townsman and citizen, Ed
LIngold, was a capital fellow, paid
his taxes, hls bills and gave to every.
thing that presented itself Tor
charity, but we have determined
that either his landlord, the man
whom he rents the store from, or
the city, has it in for MIN iu circus
bill letters. We haYe written about
the lake in front of his store, both
IN prose and poetry, in order to
have il filed, and We thought at
one time we had succeeded, but for
the last few days, we find that some
one, is haulding gravel and making
the banks around the lake higher
aud broader, in order we suppose to
protect the waters and mud within.
We have asked the city to till this
mud hole time and again, and we
learn that the places thus far filed
on Broad street, was done at the
expense of those renting the build
ing and the owners, and not at the
city's expense, and they think the
lake should be flled by the
owner of the property, We
are of their opinion aud now ask
the agent of the property to use
his influence in having the place at
tended to Immediately.

For the Democratic Nomination
For the Presidency
Is Given a Push by a Meeting
Between the
MAYOR AND CROKER.
He is Invited to Attend a Dem
Ocratic Conference
In New York Under Auspices of
Tammany.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Croker and Harri-
son have met. The long expected con-
ference between the Tammany chief
tain and the mayor of Chicago took
place in room 1855 of the Auditorium
Annex The result of the interview is
said to have been an invitation for
Mayor Harrison to attend a conference
of Democratic leaders which, it is said,
will soon be held in New York under
the auspices of Croker and Tammany.
At the end of a half hours talk the
two politicians separated, both declar-
ing that the meeting was purely social
in its nature and divorced from politics.
After Mayor Harrison's departure
Charles T. Yerkes paid his respects to
Croker.
When asked concerning the proposed
meeting of Democrats in New York Mr..
Croker did not deny that such a meet
ing might take place, but minated that
if it was held it would be mainly social
in its nature and for the purpose of
bringing the east and west into closer
touch.
He firmly denies that it is his inten-
ton to institute a movement against
free silver. Representatives it is said,
will be invited to the conference from
every western state. The exact date of
the proposed meeting has not been fixed
definitely.
Leon o. Bailey, the Indiana Democrat
who ran for congress from the Indian
apOlis district in the recent election, is
one of those to whom Croker extended
an invitation to the conference. He
thinks Cookers object in calling to-
gether Democratic leaders is not to in
stitute a fight against free silver, but
to advance his views on the questions
of home rule and trusts which the Tam
many leader made public in interviews
Monday. These two issues Croker hopes
to make prominent in the coming presi-
Dental campaign.
My talk with Mayor Harrison was
a mere commonplace exchange of civili-
ties said Mr.. Croker. Being in Chi
cagO on a pleasure trip I could not let
go the opportunity of meeting him. Our
conversation is of no interest to the
public and I can not make it known.
The same may he said of Yerkes Mr..
Yerkes is an old friend of mine He is a
good fellow and I like him
