PARTISANISM GONE MAD.

The success of city administra-
ton is measured not so much by its
ability to save the taxpayers Il few
cents by reducing the wages of deserv-
ing city employees, as by the zeal with
which it protects the rights to which
its constituents are entitled as citi-
Zens.
Not until Democratic admins
tration came into power in Akron
was any attempt made to prevent
the giving away of the city's valuable
rights to privilege-seeking corpora
tions.
An administration that has been
faithful TO The people when such
large interests as their rights in pub
lie franchises were at stake, may be
trusted to protect the public welfare
i'll the minor details of government.
1t is with IA lame and halting grace
that some of the local Republican
Machine politicians, who have done
all i'll their power within the last
year to sell out the peoples rights to
the franchise interests, using the last
Council as the vehicle with which to
deliver the goods, are now attempting
to pose as public benefactors by
making bigoted and unfair criticism
of the present Council.
The present Council has well
earned its right to the good will of
the people and something more than
partisan quibbling and. misrepresen-
tation will be necessary to forfeit this
good will.

THREATENS STRONG ACTION
Colorado Governor Declares He Will
Force Return of the Colorado
Volunteers.

DENVER, May S.-Governor. Thomas
announced that within few DAYS. if
President Mckinley and the secretary
of war continue TO ignore his communi-
cations on the subject Of the return OF
the Colorado regiment from the Philip
pines, he will take steps with il view to
securing the immediate recall of the
troops.
1t is regarded us possible that i'll the
event of failure of any public attempt
which may be made to bring about the
return of the troops the governor will
resort to legal proceedings If such
proves to be the case, the supreme court
may be called upon to decide test
case regarding the powers of the presi-
dent and that provision of the constitu-
tion relating TO the purposes for which
volunteer. soldiers may be called into
service.

BUFFALO STRIKE NOT ENDE1
Bishop nuigiey Appealed To-Str"ug Ul-
timatum 10 BE Presented to Lake
Carriers To-day.

BUFFALO, May S.-Prcsident Johnson
of the state board of mediation and
arbitration, II. D. Goulder of Cleve-
land, attorney for the Lake Carriers as
sociation, and Mr.. Douglass, represent
ing the Western Elevating association,
,-alIed on Bishop Quigley of the Catho-
lie diocese of Buffalo and asked him to
endeavor TO induce the grain shovelers
to accept the proposition made by Con-
tractor C0nnors. 1t was understood he
said he would consider it,
The monthly men at the elevators
held Il big meeting. Resolutions We're
adopted expressing sympathy with the
cause of the grain ShovelerS, and it was
unanimously vGted that whenever there
are any signs OF growing strength on
the part of Contractor Connors Il strike
will be declared.
Contractor Connors began to import
men from other cities TO take the place
of the striking grain ShovelerS, but was
hot very successful.
The situation along the water front
remained unchanged. Only seven eleva-
tors were working Sunday. 1t was esti-
mated that when the big. Duluth fleet,
which will begin to arrive today, is i'll,
it will take several weeks with Il full
force of shoveiers to clear the harbor
and catch up on the work.
LlIe last night it was given out that
the grain shoyelers will present an ulti-
matum tp the Lake Carriers association
today The officers of the new union
We're busy framing it last evening. The
substance OF the ultimatum will be that
if the strike is not ended this week the
longshorcmcn all along the chain of
lakes will ba ordered out and that the
entire lake traffic will be tied up. and
that for every weak hereafter that Mr.
Connors holds the contract the grain
shovelers' union will add 30 cents to the
contract price.

THERE is not a corporation i'll Akron
that makes a rule of carrying upon
its pay roll men whose services it
does not need. Following this good
business example, Akron'S Council
may be depended upon to do away
with all offices that are a needless
charge upon the pay roll. But Off
ces that are essential to giving the
citizens good and sufficient public
service in exchange for the taxes
they pay, will not he done away
with. 1t is to the credit of the Coun-
ell that the outcrF of disappointed
partiSans cannot drive it to.impairing
the public service by ii policy of
false economy.
