O'Clock yesterday morning until late
last night the house struggled labor
iously against the democratic tiltbus-
Ter, working steadily to wind up the
necessary business of the session.
Despite another special rule adopted
early in the day, legislation proceeded
at a snails pace. Rollcall followed
rollcall on every proposition. The
voices of the reading clerks were
worn out by the ceaseless calling OF
the roll and several clerks from the
committees had to be drafted to help
out. Since Thursday last, when the
filibuster was inaugurated, there have
been over 80 roll calls, as against 81
for the entire long session, lasting
from Dec. /, 1901, to July 5, 1903. The
members also show the effects of the
heavy strain, out they are sticking to
their posts. Last night the great hall

II was good piece of work and
the city is to be congratulated on the
outcome. We have no wish 70 rejoice
in Tho humiliation OF any man. but IL
is sufficient to say that the two COM
missioners referred to courtod this dis

every act they led to situation which
made heroic means imperative. In his

In this act many doubtless. win see

effort OF honest oficials TO protect the
city's interests and to rise above the
considerations Of party. AZ such we
welcome Il as q most encouraging sign.
Had Mayor Bird been moved by parii-
ran motives he would not have molested
a board majority of which was DEM
ocratie. and the conduct of which was
approved by tho prominent leaders Of
that party. From the political stand
point the situation cannot be inn

iican must be appointed as a member
OF the board.

moval II Is good work. and we trust
that 1t win continue. Under the law
