The Firinq Tower.

Alongside this immense bank Of earth
and cement stands a cylindrical steel
tower on the top OF which is a lookout
box. From this the actual work of di-
rectng the course and elevation OF
shells is done. Within this miniature
fertilization stand the officers whose
duty it is to sight the approach Of an
enemy by means OF powerful glasses,
determine its distance away and course.
BY the use Of other instruments its
speed is estimated and the velocity and
direction Of the wind. IL any is blowing

elevation is estimated and all these
points are telephoned to the gunners

til about score of years ago large
majority of the Irish-American voters
were probably Democrats. There has
been movement of the Irish over to
the Republicans, however, in recent
years, and it is probably stronger just
now than it ever was in any previous
presidential campaign. T. st. John CAT
fney remarks that "a great deal of the
prejudice which has ben directed against
the Irish in the past has been the result
of their naturalization with Democratic
municipal politics" He mentions the
association of his race with Tammany,
and says it is more evenly divided at
present than ever before. and declares
that this is good for the Irish as well as
for the Republican party.

FRIENDS OF THE MASSES.


One Of the greatest fallscies of the
Democratic party for the last eight
years has been the apparent aim of its
leaders TO convince the voters of the
country that it is the real and only
friends of what Mr.. Bryan designated
as the common people" In its last
two campaigns the Democratic party
through its platforms, orators and news
papers has sought TO create the impress
sion that this nation is divided into
classes and that the Republican party
represents the wealthy class while the
Democratic stands for oppressed plain
people.' In addition TO being demagogic.
such teachings are positively dangerous,
or would be il so much relience could
not be placed on the. hard, common

voter. But the "reorganized" Demo.

A lot of property owners along the
streets an sidewalks reconstructed
under the Terrell contract are again in
dignant. They have never been pleased
with the quality of work. and now they
find that they are asked to pay 10 l-2
cents square foot for concrete side
walks, no matter for how much less
they are able to get the work done,
Contractor Terrell claims that under
the contract let to him by the city the
property owners may put down either
brick or concrete for sidewalks. lie has
nothing to do with the brick, but il
they have concrete walks laid, he claims
he j. entitled TO the contract, and is en-
titled under his contract with the city
to get 10 l-2 cents for it.
Some of the property owners claim
they can get the work done for several
cents foot cheaper, but Mr. Terrell
says they have no right TO do it, and
if they do do IT, he will sue to collect
his profits. His attorneys claim that
his point is well made, and it seems to
be.
The principal Indignation seems tobe
directed against the general council for
allowing a contract like that to 90
through. No property owner wants to
pay 10 cents a foot if he can get the
same work done for IA or 10 cents. yet
that is what he will have TO do by virtue
of the business methods of the general
council, according TO the contention of
the contractor and his attorney.
The contractor would probably have
taken steps TO prevent anyone having
brick sidewalks. had his attorney con
strned the charter as the Board Of
Works does. There is a provision Of the
charter which provides for uniform
system" of street improvements, but no
one seems able TO determine what it
means.
The Board of Public Works of Padu.
cab construed il to mean that when
a contract for street improvement OF
reconstruction is let, it must require
similar material used by all property
owners, and is generally admitted that
it should mean that, and that contract,
should be prevented allowing one man u
but down the clean, attractive, substant
ial concrete, and another put down soft
unsightly brick. as was done along som,
of our principal streets, under this Ter
rell contract.
Contractor Teuell's attorneys do moi
think that is the proper construction Of
the law, however, and do not believe
that such a construction could be sus-
tanned in the courts. hence Mr.. Terrell
