has been said with much circumstantial
proof that Mr.. Griffin obtained the capl-
tai with which to start that place from
two members Of Mayor Doran's ponce
force. There never has been any denial OF
that statement, and 1t has been generally
accepted as true for something like three
years past. One Of Griffins hnanclai
hackers in that undertaking Is still on the
city police force. The friendliness OF
Goss and his immediate subordinates
toward Mr.. Griffin has long been no.
torious. 1t does not date from the ap-
pearance Of Kiefer as mayor. 1t had the
implied sanction of Mayor Kiefers Re-
publican predecessor in office during his
entire term Did Goss and his associates
knoWa that Griffin was running gambling
house at the time that Mayor K1efer and
his special police force raided his place?
socate officers of the department did
know that Griffin was engaged in his
old calling, why did they wait for Nc
Intire and the others under Mayor
Kiefers direction to arrest him?
The infamies Of the present administra-
ton of city affairs did not begin with
Mayor Kiefer, either in the police de-
partment or elsewhere. They have ex-
listed from the beginning of Republican
administration in this city. They have
had their origin in the degraded condi-
ton of public morals represented by the
present office-holding politicians whose
trade has been that of reform. They can
only end with the ending of the control
of the rascals who now manage our city
concerns.

publication of the names of all the de-

tude No responsible citizen could af-
ford it to be publicly known that he did
not pay his personal property tax. and
for such delinquents as the Sheriff might
find to be without any property whatso-

places which certain county officials so
readily observe in this matter of collect

GOSS AND KIEFER.

Ex-Chief Goss has not in his recent
statement given the public any reason for
changing its opinion of him as public
official assuming to discharge the duties
Of at least the nominal head of an i'm
portant department of city government.
He makes nothing SO plain as his own
moral unfitness for the place he held.
That place must certainly have had great
charms for him when he consented to
hold 1t under the conditions which he de-
clares the mayor to have created. No
self-respecting official would have held
office week who was treated as he
claims to have been treated by the mayor
Why did not~Mr, Goss resign at any
time during the past year and nine
months? Mayor Kiefer made it quite
plain to him, on his own showing, that
he was not wanted as chief. why then
did he not retire? His silly statement
throws no light whatever on the reasons
which caused him to hold on.
Whatever blame is to be attached to
Mayor Klefer, in connection with the
wretched state of affairs which has pre-
vailed through the immunity so long
given to crime, his chief offending Is that
he allowed Mr.. Goss to remain chief so
long. He would not resign. The mayors
duty then was to put him out. He never
proved himself competent man; and
his endeavor to show that the trouble
with the police department began with
Mayor Kiefer's induction into office is
fruitless, In view of the known facts.
Take the case OF Griffin: Here is a
man whose character and occupation are
not denied even by himself. He has been
engaged in keeping a gambling place at
all times when he could do so without
police interference. His saloon on Sew

Of more
scrutiny than all of the political bug
bears that have ever been invented to
frighten him into the support of the diff
ferent political parties and blind him to
his true condition. 1t IS my purpose 10
call your attention to one phase OF this
cause Of his business depression.
In 1850 the total, value of all the farms
of the United States was estimated ma @ %, py
the census of that year to be $6, 2a2 lse. $50.
and the total value of the farm products
by the same census was estimated to be
81 AGO. 1O7, ,454 If the farmer had been 1ree
from debt and been the owner of the SOIL
he cultivated that year his total wealth
would have been s.. .692, 293.6i4 Inc total
wealth of the whole country, including
railroads. telegraphs. factories, mines;
every other species of wealth, was $780,
037 ,091, 49, of which amount 1t can read
lily be seen the farmer would have owned
a little less than one.eightth. t Bue Ihe
mortgages Of the country aggregated
then s6,019, ,6I9.9S5. IL one-haf of this
amount was on the farms the wealth of
the farmer would be reduced to s. esq.,
453 652 Now, further reduce this by the
vast sum covered by chattel mortgages
and take into further consideration the
fact that a large per cent Of the farms
is owned by others than the actual till
ers of the soil. and an estimate can be
made of the small per cent of the wealth
of the country that Is actually owned by
the men who practically produce. 1t ALL,
What Is the cause of this business de-
preston with one class of our citizens.
while the other class. the nOn-producers,
are absorbing all the wealth Of the coun-
try? It Is largely a question of trans
portation
BINDING ,TWINE.
Another subject 1 desire to call your
attention to Is the question of binding
twine. The farmers, after securing their
industry and seeing that 1t had accom-
plished their ends Qn breaking of the
twine trust) allowed their own enter
prise to fall into the hands Of represen-
tatives Of any calling but that OF agri--
culture, and as result the plant. for all
interests and purposes. as far as the In
terests of the farmer is concerned, might
as we'll be In Manila as in Saltwater. It
will be readily seen where the interests
of the farmers come In when left to the
vote Of a board Of five members COM
posed of merchants, lawyers, bankers,
ETC., when deciding what policy they
should pursue In disposing OF the twine
product Of the prison. But the plant was
manufacturing binding twine and selling
direct to farmers at cost.

WOMEN OPPOSE WOMEN.
The State of Affairs Snid to Exist In
the Government Service.

"Why is it that women are practical
ly debarrcd from receiving promotions
to the higher places in the government
scrvice?" asked a government clerk of
a quarter of Il ccnturys experience.
The question was put to several ladies
in the treasury department. Before
any one of them had time to reply the
questioncr proceeded to answer his
own intcrrogatOry.
1T is because they are held back by
members of their own SEX" lie said.
Some time ago Il lady in one division
| know of WAS so favOrably regarded
that she would have been made chief
of that division, but as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks of the same sex became indig-
nant ana united in protest. They de-
clared that they could never work I'M
der her: that they would Il thousand
times rather have a man than a woman
to boss them. They wouldn't allow
her to lord it over them.
THAT is only a sample of many
cases. Women can be depended upon
to antagonize women under such cir
cumStancCS Not only did they do so
in the case have cited, but they ac-
tually gave the marble heart and the
icy hand to this woman after they de-
feated her prospects of a promotion.
| am satisfied that one of the most in
tlucntial obstacles to women in their
effort TO secure equal recognition with
men comes from their own sex"
The man who asked and answered
the question then moved off before his
audience of lacy clerks had an opportu-
nifty to reply 10 his assertions.-Wash-
