POLICE CHANGES.
More Republicans to Have
Jobs on the Force.

Clinton, March 22.---What changes are
to be made in the police department?
Every man on the force would like to
know, from Chief Thomas Murphy to
the last patrolman.
There are two kinds of pressure be-
ing brought upon the republican mem
bers of the board of selectmen to in
fluence them.
The friends Of the individual officers
are exerting no small influence in favor
of individual officers. Thus Officer Mi
chael McLane Is backed by a strong
petition for reappontment, signed by
the citizens of the Acre. Many of the
business men desire to rescue officer
George Burk from the flames. A
strong interest Is eXerted in favor Of
Officer William F. O'Toole. The same
may be said OF practically every man
on the force.
The other pressure is the pressure Of
the rank and file Of republicans to have
enough new appointments made to es-
tablish at least political equilibrium in
the force. They urge upon the selectmen
that the force is now composed of IL
democrats and but ] republican. They
wish at least 6 republicans added to
the force.
1t is understood, however, that the
selectmen do not look with favor upon
removing policemen solely for the pur-
pose of appointing republican police
men in their places. They are inclined,
however, it is said, to visit with the
penalty of dismissal every officer who
is reasonably suspected Of having
mingled to any extent in politics.
Stories have been brought to the Sc
ectmen that some of the men labored
zealously both before and on election
day.
For such, IL there are such, there
will be a short rope and no mercy. 1t
is fair to the men to say that each and
every one Of them denies that they took
any part in the political game, and
that in some cases ii would be exceed .
ingly difficult to prove that such is the
case.
Some republicans urge that in most
towns where the police are on civil
service, It IL customary to have the
force composed half Of republicans and
half of democrats, The law is then 40
made that appointments must be made
equally from each Of the two prevailing
parties.
1t seems at this time, in view of all
the circunstanoeS, reasonable TO expect
some copsidegable changes in the per-
sonnet Of the force

HE WON'T RESIGN.
Postmaster Nash ets No Reason Why
He Shouldn't Remain Town Clark.

Lancaster, March 22.-Postmaster
Horace NJ. Nash said to the correspond
ent Of The Spy tonight: Il certainly
shall not resign from the office of town
clerk nor from any other office. I have
done nothing wrong" Postmaster Nash
spent the afternoon with Attorney Ed
ward A. Connors, going over the books
of the office. He declined to say if this
examination of the books showed any
important variation from the figures
obtained by Post Office Inspector Pen
dleton.
1t seemed to be we'll settled that there
will be no further proceedings, as far
as the post office department is con-
cerned, except to appoint a new post
master.
Porter ]. Lewis, a member of the
board Of selectmen said this evening"
II do not know what action the select
men will take. Mr.. Thaycr is out Of
town and will not return for ten days,
Nothing will be done until he returns"
Mr.. Lewis seemed to think that there
was no reason why DIR. Nash's useful
ness as town clerk should be impaired
by any trouble in the post Office.

THE SUGAR MARKET.
Acute Rivalry Between the Trust and the

The sugar market is IN rather un-
settled condition owing 70 the efforts

the largest article in value dealt in BY

widely known as the Trust. has sbol-
ished the per cent trade disc punt and
allows : cent per pound at the end OF
60 days for exclusive patronage. A
rcular has been sent out stating that
its sales will be made in conformity
with this plan.
The Independent refners have also
informed their patrons that they will
meet any reduction made by their big
competitor and allow their patrons the
same advantages.
A telegram was received Saturday by
a Baltimore sugar broker from his New
York representative that the outside
refneries will make the same move
day as the American Sugar Refining
Company.

Foraker in Revolt.

Cincinnati. Sept. ~ The Enquirer
published by John r. Mclean, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor Of Ohio,
says:
REV. Herbert s BigelOw, of the
Vine Street Congregational Church, has
made public that he has received let-
ter bearing on the Philippine question
and Of the highest political significance
1.-THE letter is from ]. B. Foraker,
senior U. s. Senator from Ohio, and
shows beyond the shadow Of doubt
that that distinguished politician has
come to the parting Of the ways with
the Administration.
ut contains a confidential intima-
ton that he will lead the snti-impe-
rialist wing of the Senate in the next
Congress, and being intended for pub
LEGATION is a semi official announcement
of the Senator's position on this main
issue Of the next national campaign.
With the opening Of the session he will
fire the first gun. The letter closes
with hearty note of commentator foT
the work which has been done in the
cause Of anti-imperialism by the Eco
nomic Club OF this city, and declares
in UNDERSIGNED type that the Senator
is with the cause.
"a special point is made in Senator
Foraker's letter of the appeal which
Isabel Artacho, former partner OF Agui-
naldo, has addressed to the American
Republic. Artacho. who is spoken OF
as a man of wealth and influence, has
lust taken an oath Of allegiance to the
United States Government. He pro-
tests that he has always been loyal
citizen. He rails at what he charac-
terizes as the mean and spurious affec-
tation' of the leaders Of the present re-
bellion. He declares that the United
States alone can restore peace and pros
perity to the islands.
"Behold, what an honorable ally
the President has taken to himself. ar.
CUES the Senator. Isabel ArtscEo, the
meanest man the islands have ever pro-
duced. as little as Arnold without Ar
nold's fire.
Since the American occupation Of.
the city he has passed in and out as
freely as before. Doubtless, he had his
useful sides. But that he should be
brought forward &c a olincher, that his
simple statement should be thought
sufficient to blacken the character Of
the man who, whatever may be said Of
him, is still making pretty tiff fight
for his country-this is laughable
"'There were to be had at any time
during our own war for independence
fifty Tories who would swear before the
British Parliament that Washington
was a mere self-elected usurpsr, lead.
ing handful Of atrooiously merciless
banditti. Artacho's evidence is worse
than useless. "

The news from Chicago that several
hotels In that city had tried men as
''chambermaids" because they could
not get girls and had found them so sat
isfactory that they intend TO keep them is
borne out by such advertisements as the
following, which are increasing in Chi
cage newspapers;
'Wanted-A position as second girl
By an honest and capable young man. -
"Wanted-An able man to cook and
wash for 9 private family. " Wanted a
position for general homework by q
capable man.
The women who formerly did such
work have gone into the trade
an In retail stores, where their wages
are much less than those for house
work. The testimony Of the Chicago
employers Is to the effect that men
make better "chambermaids" and
second girls" than women.

The Free Lance recently dwelt at
length upon the Importance OF having
two political parties in every country,
In Every State, in every community.
The consciousness that rival party is
on the alert. with an ever wide open
and wstchful eye. is the only safeguard
against the misdoings, the sins Of omis-
sion and sins Of commission, into
which parties. like individuals, are
sure to fall unless restrained by fear Of
detection, exposure and punishment.
This 10 not by any means the principal
or the highest, motive that should In.
fuence o party TO preserve its organiza-
ton under discoursgements however
great. II party is founded on princi-
pies and policies which, its adherents
! believe to be right, it ought to make
perpetual warfare upon its adversary.
even though predestined TO hopeless
defeat.
TIE Index. Appeal Of Saturday last
had an excellent editorial on this SUBJ
ject. suggested by the recent recon-
mendation Of the Republican State
Committee that no nominations for the
Legislature should be mode. the ground
of this recommendation being that the
Democrats had so packed the cards by
their frauduleut election laws that
there 10 no chance for q Republican
nominee. The following is an extract
from the editorial Of our Petersburg
contemporary
No party deserves success that will

Such O party has no honorable mission
In public life, and the sooner 1t dies the
better. The claim that 1t has no chance
Of fair election. even II founded In
fact, will not excuse suoh dereliction
Of public duty. Success Is not the sole
J end Of rarty organization. A minority
party In O State 10 capable OF accom-.
plishing almost 40 much good as a ma
jority party in the restraint it puts
mon the latter by the exposure Of its
errors and misdeeds That is the one
important need In Virginia politics to-
day. and BIZ reason Of its greatness and
strength in other States the Republican
party is peculiarly the one to be the
vigorous and aggressive minority party
in Virginia. And the glory would be
ali the greater for the Republicans If,
seeing their duty, they accepted 1t in q
heroic spirit Of self.sacrifice, and with
the full consciousness that they could
serve no selfish end In doing so.
The unhappy social conditions that
have existed In Virginia. and in every
Southern State. since the baleful recon
struction era, have coeroed thousands
upon thousands Of intelligent men to
act with the Democratic party while
their political convictions upon the
tariff. upon finance and upon other
questions have been rather with the
Republican platform. They have look
ed upon 1t as q matter Of self-protec'
tion. IL viii be o fortunate day for the
South when the distractions are re-
moved from q fair and free exercise and
