The union men Of Summit county
who voted for Representative Seese
last fall because the Dobson paper
said Representative Kempel, Secse's
opponent, was ''noncntlty," should
not overlook the fact of the defeat Of
the McClinchey Train Grew bill by the
Legislature yesterday. This bill was
the measure in favor of which the or
ganized labor of Ohio eXerted all Its
strength, but II was defeated, and both
of the Representatives from Summit
county voted and worked against It..
Doubtless the union men of Summit
county will remember all about this

There is something striking about

A CHOICE BIT OF DEMAG0Gy.

An uncomfortable desire to strain at
a gnat and swallow camel has long
been one of the frailties of Akron's
subsidized Board of City Commission
ers. but the citizens of Akron had rea'
son to expect better things of their
City Council.
Last Monday night the City Commits
sioners made two recommendations to
the City Council. One was in favor of
awarding the contract for the Yale
street sewer TO the highest bidder; and
the other in favor Of awarding the
East Market street paving to the high
est bidder.
The difference between the highest
and lowest bids for the construction Of
the sewer was only 5000, and the cost
Of the entire work was only slightly in
excess OF S400, but for nearly an hour
the Council gave way to grave de-
bate upon the folly of the Board Of
Commissioners in recommending 10
tax the people Of Yale st. couple
hundred dollars more than another
bidder agreed to do the same work
for. BY unanimous vote the con
tract was awarded to the lowest bid
der, and the matter referred back to
the Board for concurrence.
But after the demands of conscience
and the public interest had thus been
satisfied in small things the same Off
cinls with the single exception of Mr..
Paul, voted without discussion to CON
cur in the recommendation of the
Commissioners to award the contract
for the East Market street paving to
the highest bidders. In this ease there
was II difference of nearly $1,000 be-
tween the bids recommended for ac-
ceptance by the Board and the propo-
sitlon of the lowest bidder, hut the
same principles that operated to pre-
vent the Yale street people from being
overtaXed were not invoked to the ad-
vantage of the East Market street peo-
pie.
The personnel of the competing con
tractors should not have been taken
into consideration. The sole question
for Council to decide was: Have we
done our best to reduce the cost of the
East Market street improvement? ?
Clearly, neither Council nor the Board
did this, and apparently did not wish
to do so.
This Is what the Democrat calls
straining at gnat and swallowing a
camel, and If the City Commissioners
and the Councilmen who voted to put
this excessive and unnecessary taX
upon their constituents do not hear
from the people, we miss our guess.
The Democrat will stand by .Akron's
Councilmen through thick and thin
when they are right but in this case
they seem to he deserving Of the full
measure of censure that is being heap.

AS for the people, their rights will be
protected In the courts.

LOndOners Think General Butler Has
Been Forced to Retire.

Dcen FOTceQ I'D Het1res
LONDON. Feb. 10. 4:2O a. m-London ac-
cepts as true the Boer statement that Gen.
eral Butler has failed again. These state
ments were passed by the British censor
at Alden and are read I'm the light of Mr..
Balfour's announcement I'm the Commons
that General Butler is not pressing his ad-
vance.
Winston Churchill wires that vaalkrantz
was impracticable for the guns which were
needed to support a further advance. His
cablegram leaves General Butler on Tues
day night sending fresh brigade to re-
lieve the tired holders of Vaalkrantz
The descriptive writer's with General
Butler were allowed a rather free hand
again in explaining the ugly position
which the British held and the natural OBJ
stacles which had to be overcome. So 1t
is easy to infer that with Boer rifemen
and artillerymen defending them, these
hills, ravines and jungles have not been
overcome, and thus the public Is prepared
IN advance for bad news.
Heliograms from Ladysmith dated Mon
day. describe the effect General Buffers
cannonade had on the worn garrison. Hope
and tedium was drawing to a close. The
crash of guns was almost continuous for
ten hours. and at times 1T seemed as If as
many as twenty shells burst in a minute.
The Beers, preparing always for the pos
sibility of defeat, were driving herds and
sending long wagon trains toward the
Drakensberg passes. Intense darkness and
silence followed. broken only by frogs
croaking and the occasional blaze of star
shells, surrounding the town with a circle
of light to prevent the unobserved ap-
proach of the enemy. A series of British
mines, laid for the Beers, exploded acci-
dentally, shaking and alarming the city
and camp.

finds acceptance is ,hat 1t was ordered by
Lord Roberts, and that both General Bull
er's and General MacDonald's operations
were by the direction of the commander
in-chief. In order to occupy the Beers at
widely separated points. SO they would be
unable TO transfer any portion of their
forces to oppose the projected central ad-
vance.
Charles Williams, a military writer who
is understood to be in confidential relations
with Lord Wolseley. says that beyond
doubt the most authoritative opinion in
London regards 1t as probable that an en-
deavor will be made to force the line of
the Orange river before Wednesday next,
possibly by Monday.
