Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1899-06-10
POOR POLICY.

The Kentucky Irish American
has made it a rule to avoid partisan
ship and narrowmindedness, reserv-
ing to itself the right to criticise and
protest against any and all unjust
discrimination or ill-treatment of
the individual or people in whose
interest it is being published, and
from whom it receives its main sup
port. Up to the present issue it
has had only kind words for Mayor
Weaver and his Boards of Public
Works and Public Safety. During
the past week a large number of
men have been deprived of the
positions they held under the pres
ent city administration, and the
fact that all but one are Irish
Americans has created widespread
comment.
President Granger was inter
viewed by Our representative in re-
gard to the matter, but would give
no answer other than that the party
was removed" We believe the
action of the two boards was unjust
and uucalled- for and will be resent
ed by the people.
Many contend that the removals
were made because the powers at
the City Hall could not dictate for
whom the unfortunates should vote
in the coming primary, and there
seems to be good ground for the
contention. But why should this
be so? The Mayor and the men,
bers of his boards claim to be Dem
ocrats, and were supported as such
by the men referred to, who are
also Democrats. The men removed
are supposed to enjoy the same
rights in selecting candidates for
city and State offices that Mayor
Weaver, Charles Granger or Will
Lyons possess, and any attempt to
coerce those under them into voting
for this or that candidate is as I'M
democratic as it is unjust.
Rumors intimating this action
upon the part of the city admins
tration reached this paper some
months ago, but were not credited.
Now that they have been verified,
we would call the attention of the
public to the fact that the men re-
moved have records surpassed by
none in the service of the city, but
are not protected by law, as police
men are, and therefore can not
compel the boards to give them an
open trial and show cause for their
action. They may think this good
politics, but the masses of the peo-
pie, at least of the Democratic party,
are sure to condemn such policy.

Fire Alarm at Abita.

What might have been serious
coDflagration occurred in Abita
Springs last Saturday morning, a
little after l2 o'clock, but for the
prompt arrival of the chemical
engine drawn By the following FIRE
fighting veterans, E. NORM, f.
Martin and Sam Elwell, who is the
Housekeeper. The fire was under
control in such a short time as
would have done credit to any of
the paid departments of New Or.
leans.
The handsome residence now in
course of erection of Mr.. Bruning
was IN danger, as the fire had al
ready caught, and with a strong
south wind blowing at the time,
would have caused more and SER
lous damage but for the arrival of
the chemical engine, which did
excellent service. Mr.. Eugene
NORM deserves special mention for
the way he handled the tanks, also
the men, as Foreman of Abita Fine
Co. No. /.
This being their maiden fire, it
surely did surpass all expectations,
and with the men at the helm as
now, a large fire in Abita Springs
will be a thing of the past.
Mr.. Frank Martin, as Chief,
surely did distinguish himself, as
the men seem to work with a will
as they see they are being led by
him.
Mr.. Bruning, in recognition of
the services of the Fire Company,
kindly donated q liberal sum, and
promised to donate more when his
house is completed, as he says his
place was saved through their
prompt arrival. The alarm was
from box No. ).

The report of the board of managers

age Of the negro is going; the epoch OF
man is beginning. Itsays:
THE schools of the Freedmen's Aid
and Southern Educational society have
been making good citizens; educating
negroes to Christian men and women
They have not made criminals. The
criminal negro never comes from the
Christian school. There have been more
than 10000 students in these schools
and not one Of them have ever beer
lynched or charged with the crime fo
which negroes are lynched.
