IT has been claimed that the Demo
cratic party will be in a stronger posi-
tiou this year than it was in 1896, be-
cause while then silver was the only
issue, now the party has a number of
issues to choose from, nay, it can even
take them all, silver, antitrust, anti
expansion, and with three issues, can
meet the demands of every section.
This would offer an attractive program
were it not for the fact that many of
the men who favor one of these issues
are unatterab1y opposed to the others,
and vice versa. For instance, Bourke
Cochran is a gold Democrat who
sturdily fought silver in 1896; but he is
willing to allow silver in the platform
if the principal issue is anti-imperia1-
isna. Senator Morgan, on the other
haad, is silver Democrat, but he is a
strong expansionist, and he believes
that any other course than a dec1ara-
ton for expansion would be the cost
LEST of mistakes, Henry Watterson is
a gold Democrat who says free silver is
done for; but he urges expansion as a
Democratic policy and as national
necessity. Chairman Jones and Sena-
tor Pettigrew are both silver men and
ardent anti-expansionists. Senator
sbGcI<aurin sees in expansion a neces-
sity for the South. These men are
leaders, and they are not to be fooled
into seeing one issue used in one part
of the country and another in differ
eat section. It appears that the work
of organizing the various discordant
clements of the Democratic party into
an harmonious unity is herculian in
deed, if not quite impossible.

HIS NEW MACHINE.
Perpetual Motion" Otto Has Moved His
workshop to Kenosha.

Francis Henry Otto, commonly
known as perpetual Motion Gtto," of
Somers, was in town today calling on
his many friends and soliciting sub
scriptions for a new issue of bonds to
secure money to complete his latest
invention, "a Friction Motion Ma
chine.'' The bonds were being sold at
a lively rate this afternoon when Otto
was seen bysa representative of this
paper. The bonds read as follows:
Somers, Wis, Feb. 1, 1900-For val
ue received on or before one year, after
I have completed. my Friction Motion
Machine, promise to pay to |
or order the sum of One Thousand
Dollars ISL, C0O) with interest at per-
cent. FRANCIS HENRY OTTO.
The bonds are being sold at the race
of a dollar for each thousand, Mr.. Otto
has also announced that those holding
bonds in his former venture will be
allowed bonds in the present one.
In speaking of the machine the old
man stated that it was a complete sue
cess. A little model was made at his
workshop in the country and a work
ing model is now being made at Wells
& Messier in this city. It will be COM
p1eted some time next week and will be
put on exhibition in Kenosha before it
is submitted to expert maclinists.
The old man is very sanguine of
success and hopes to secure money
enough to complete the model.

THEIR FIRST DEFEAT
KenOsha Athletics Lose Their First
Game of the Season to the Cham
piOn Oaks, of Chicago.
BOTH TEAMS PLAY FAST BALL

But AS Usual All the Hard Luck Fell to the
Lot of the Kenosha Team and the oaks
Won by Score of to 3-Kenosha Men
Lead Their Opponents in Hitting and
Lose by Inferior Base Running-In the
Championship Glass
The glory of the fans has depart
ed, for the Kenosha Athletics met the
first defeat of the season last Saturday
evening, going down before the cham
pion Oaks of Chicago with score of
seven to three against them.
The game was by far the fastest
ever seen in the hall, but the Kenosha
players were decidedly out of form.
From the first ball pitched until the
last man was out in the ninth inning
they fought for the game in a p1ucIy
manner, but all odds were against
them. In the early part of the game
the home players were over-awed by
they did finally awake from their
trance the score had grown so that
they were practically out of the game.
But the game demonstrated the fact
that the Kenosha men were able to
travel with the fastest of indoor ball
teams, and the fact that they did not
win was as much the fault of luck as it
was bad playing.
The largest crowd of the season at
tended the game and cheered the Ke-
nosha men enough to force them to
win half dozen games. But all the
roofing was to no avail, for the early
innings of the contest had placed the
home players out of the game. The
Oaks put up magnificent piece of
ball playing. The work of Owens, the
crack pitcher, however, was disap-
pointment, as he did no better work
than the Kenosha twir1er. The Keno
sha men made nine hits off him, while
the star batters from Chicago only Sc
cured one less off Mcclellan.
The game was won and lost in the
field. The Chicago men far outc1assed
the Kenosha men in field work, and as
the game was a batting one the visit.
ors won. There were many features in
the game that deserve special mention.
The battery work of the home team
was fair, but not in any way up to the
game put up week ago. The battery
work of Owens and Mcfarland was
perfect. In the field Mckenzie won
the honors for the Kenosha players, he
being credited with half dozen put
outs and as many assists. The two
Harkin's made a ''brother act play"
and saved a run much to the delight of
the audience. The playing of Alex
ander for the visitors was worthy of
special mention. In speaking of the
defeat of the Kenosha boys it should
be remembered that they did not put
up their best game, and also the fact
that they made the highest score that
has been made against the Oaks this
year. The line up of the teams was as
follows:

AT the meeting of the Common
Council Monday evening the question
of placing light at certain point on
the North side arose and aroused quite
a discussion. In the words that were
passed among the Aldermen during
the discussion it became evident that
all principles of business are thrown to
the winds by many of our city fathers.
In the case of the light for the North
side the friends to the proposal placed
their convictions and built their argu-
ment upon the idea that the North
side had not been as great beneficiary
as the South side. Indeed, in the light
of the statements of certain Aldermen,
it becomes evident that with them, at
least, city government, as far as con-
Germs the Council, is only game of
grab, with the greatest honors to him
who secures for himself, his ward or
certain friends and constituents the
greatest number of benefits. Now this
idea that the city treasury is an mex
haustib1e widows BARREL into which
every ubiquitous Alderman must dip
most extensively and frequently for
the pleasure, convenience or advantage
of those who elected him in particular,
is a most mistaken one, notwithstand-
ing it is the generally accepted notion.
Two years of this kind of grab-bag
policy and puri1e p1ismanagem of
city affairs have brought the city
finances down to a state neighboring
on bankruptcy. The problem of an
empty treasury stares the city in the
face. Such situation is not to be
dealt with lightly. The Alderman
who, cognizant of these facts, still
urges the expenditure of funds which
the city has not, simply and solely
that the district which he represents
may not be the recipient of less bene-
fees than another district, is just the
kind OF an official who is the least
wanted at such a crisis. The crying
need of the city at this juncture is
careful business management. Our
taxes are not excessively high, but
they are high enough. We would urge
upon the members of the Common
Council to exercise economy in the ex-
penditure of city funds, and the ut
most care in the collection of taxes.
If all property were rigidly and uni
form1Y assessed the present rate of
taxation and valuation would yield
sufficient revenue to meet the demands
of the city if economy and foresight is
used in the expenditure. Sheer neces-
sity has made an unusual draught up
on the city's resources this year. The
schools will afford an instance. But
this is only additional reason for
avoiding all unnecessary expenditure.
All of the city's output, beyond
absolute necessities, should be
made with the utmost care, even par
simony. Many thinking men have re-
marked that the present situation is
far from cheering. But with system
Of assessments that will assure as near
uniformity as possible and a Mayor
and Common Council who will appre-
ciate the fact that the affairs of a city
need management as well as those of
ones private business, and that the chief
requirement of the times is economy
and care, Kenosha could soon put her
treasury beyond the stringency that
now distresses it.
