forded Commissioner Wight, who has i'm
mediate charge of the fire and ponce de-
nartments AN opportunity to understand
the extent of abuse practlced by persons
holding fire badges The lieutenant of the
first precinct discovered that there were
auuareutly more people in Washington en-
titled to special privileges than without
them The space within the fire lines was
filled with 'priVlleged ones to such an eX-
tent that the firemen, police officers ana
newspaper reporters were compelled 10
give way to them. What possible excuse
there can be for permitting such abuse OF
these privileges | cannot see. More than
12O fire badges have been issued to office
boys and employees of fire insurance agents,
who are extended the privileges of the fire
lines as underwriters, and the half dozen
reporters of The Star, Post and Times,
whose business should permit them to be
with the firemen, and who are the only un-
official persons having any right whatever
within the fire limits, are hampered in their
work and crowded out of the way by insur-
ance clerks wearing fire badges. Both the
police and fremen suffered from interior
ence yesterday and the condition of affairs
should receive the attention of the Com
missioners. What right have insurance
clerks within the lines, and even if they
should be financially Interested what
earthly good can they serve their COM
panies or those suffering losses by crowd
ing in the way of the firemen? Why do
not the Commissioners revoke all so-called
fire privileges, with the exception of those
accorded fremen, policemen and reporters
of the daily press? >, And even the press
badges should be restricted to duly author

now the case, and it seems to me that as

of a fine SO, 900 stone church. Excavat-

Now that the "off" year elections are
out of the way, preparations for the
presidential campaign of next year
will soon begin. 1t is said that Sena-
tor Hanna will call the Republican
national committee together about
the 18th or 18th of next month, when
the date for the national convention,
and the place where it will be held,
will be agreed upon. The re-conYen-
tion campaign, however, will be tame,
compared with what it was four years
ago, as there is now no question OF
President McKinley's denomination.
Tie selection Of vice president may
cause some little contest, but it is
probable that this selection will de.
pend largely upon President McKin.
ley's desires. The question to be
most largely discussed during the
pre- convention campaign will be the
plsnks In the platform to be adopted
by the convention. And even that is
largely forecast by the inevitable re-
nomination of Mckinley. For it will
re.sffirm protection, pronounce for the
gold standard, and sustain the ad
ministration in the Philippine s, which
will be the primo iple points commended
for.

came to the city Tuesday to obtain a
license to wed Hannah K. Kruggel,
of the same place, 1t developed
that he was but twenty years of
age, and as he did not have his
fathers consent, he did not
obtain the license. His father
who is Ernest Dehn, of LeSueur
county, came to this city today with
his son and gave consent to the mar
riage, and the young man departed in
a very happy frame of mind, carrying
in his pocket the official permit to wed.
