The number of "hold-ups" in this
part of the city is increasing at an
alarming rate. Reports of attempted
highway robberies are frequently
heard, especially in the outlying dis
tricts, owing to the limited police pro-
tectinon, the perpetrators are scarcely
ever apprehended.
While returning home on Sunday
night about 1890 o'clock, Jacob Stahl-
aver, who lives on what is known as
the Meadows" was approached by
three men. one of whom covered him
with pistols, in true Western fashion,
while the third rihed his pockets, Sc
curing all the money in his possession,
amounting to 81. The men then dis
appeared in the direction of Mnooka.
but although an alrm was given, could
not be found.
Another man robbed within the past
few days is Martin Coyne, of Cedar
avenue, who, while returning home
from the National mine last Friday
night, was assaulted and rendered un-
conscious by unknown parties as he
was crossing the Carr's Patch bridge.
He was robbed of a considerable sum
of money and his watch and was left
lying near the bridge all night In an
unconscious condition with the rain
pouring upon him. He did not re-
cover his senses until Saturday
morning and has been very i'll ever
since.
News of these depredations has been
current for some time, but lately the
gang" has become more bold, and
has operated on teh main thorough
fares.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE RURAL CAUCUS.
(Bridgton News.)

If ANYTHING were needed to emphasize
the point often made by The News as to
the undue and by no means healthful
power in caucus and convention man
agement of the sheriff and his force, In
this county, IL Is afforded by the eccen-
trio episode at the Republican cancus in
this town. Here was gathering called
to select delegates to attend various con-
yentions for the nomination of COVER
nor, Congressman, four senators, county
attorney, sheriff, and any number OF 9th
ar officials of more or less Importance;
and yet as to all these, except as to our
home senator Ga townsman being an as
pirant) and the sheriff, not word OF
suggestion is given delegates; while as to
the sheriff there was such intense earn
estnesS in some quarters, that, despite
the protests of so experienced and saga
cious man as Judge Walker, who head
ed the delegation, and number OF 9th
ers, a small faction was able to saddle
upon the delegation instructions" as
TO their action in that matter. And
this after the delegation had been
picked in that interest, embalmed in
u Portland printed list of delegates cir
culated and unanimously carried IN the
caucus, and even when no contest APP
peared on the tapis as to that official.
All this IN a small rural town where we
have no grog-shops or other criminal
classes to add to the voting strength OF
the Official manipulation. 1t Is easy to
calculate from this exhibition of
strength, the immense power welded by
the sheriff force and their allies in the
great cities. They are in absolute con.
troll of the caucuses and conventions of
the party; can nominate or strike down
whom they will; run 1.-THE machine In
fact, in accord with their own sweet will !
And this is by no means peculiar to the
present administration. 1t has been so in
the past, will be in the future, so long as
present conditions exist as to the sheriff 5
connection with the alleged liquor law
enforcement" policy of the country.
And is there no balm in Giieadp' No;
that is so long as the caucus and the
convention DEGREES be regarded as deci-
sive. There might be remedy beyond
these; but the masses are so indifferent to
their political rights and privileges and
so utterly lacking in courage to grapple
with an evil of this magnitude in non
political way, that there is little hope OF
any radical change for the better. "We
are slaves" brethren, 'slayes to horde
of'-petty officials, who, no longer the
servants of the people, have practically
become their mastersl
