DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Anderson county Democrats met at the
Auditorium in Garrett last Saturday, TO select
delegates to the state convention at Wichita,
April 9TH, to select delegates to the national
convention.
The convention was called to order by R. l..
Row. chairman of the county central commit
tee, and the call was read by Thos. Bowen,
secretary of the county committee.
The temporary organization was effected by
the selection of S. S. Irwin as chairman and
w. S. Griffith as secretary. The temporary
organization was afteward made permanent.
A committee on credentials was appointed.
A committee of FIVE was also appointed to re-
port the names of eight men as delegates TO
the state convention. This committee reported
the following-named gentlemen DR.. A. ].
Smith, NJ l.. Bowman, w. L. Cayot, Charles
McCrum,,C c. E. Durall, L. F. Feuerborn, S. S.
Irwin and A. F. Hatten.
T. w. Shields was selected chairman of the
county central committee, and R. L. Row, Sec
rotary.
Judging from the kicking done on the streets
after the convention, harmony was not quite
thick enough to cut with knife Just what
the trouble was does not seem to be generally
known, but there was good deal of talk about
one faction running the band-wagon over the
other faction. At any rate, there seem to be
some very sore spots somewhere.

THE "BOSS.BUSTERS."

Last week we referred lreA, 10 the X pub
! lican state convention at Wichita. The bitter
denuncation during the past sixty days, by
| Hoch and his followers, of the Bailey admins
tiation, leads the people to believe that when
| the convention met, the "boss- busters" being
! in an overwhelming majority, would so con-
duct themselves and accomplish work that
would send thrill of joy to the heart of every
true lover of reform in the state. But oh,
what disappointment!
Stubs was made chairman of the conven.
ton, and he soon demonstrated that he was the
boss of the busters, for, disregarding parlia-
mentary law, he took the lines in his own
hands aud drove rough .shod over the minority
in a way that would have made even Henry
Allen or Bowersock blush with shame.
The Leland machine, in its most influential
days, when compared with the work of the
"boss-busters, is like the old-fashioned whip
saw when compared with modern Louisiana
saw.mil that turns out 100000 feet OF
lumber per day. And yet, after all the blow
and buster and talk about reform, and the
abuse Of the present administration this same
crowd OF boss busters nominated every uleIH'
Der of the Bailey administration except Bailey
himselt--and the truth is, he was, and is, just
as good as the best nominated. They were all
tarred with the same stick
There is not single line or sentence in the
platform that is calculated to offend any bood
Ter, or that promises to bring to punishment
volators of the laws of the state. There is
not word that would cause the railway cor
poraton, nonopoles or trusts 10 lose minutes
sleep, but, on the other hand, NJ. A. Low and
J. H. Richards, two prominent railroad attor-
neys, were selected as delegates-a t-arge to the
national Republican convention, and Cy Leland
and Mort Albaugh were put on the state CEN
trail committee.
Hoch's speech was apologize, weak and in
cipd and did not contain sentence that Cy
Leland comd not have consistently uttered had
he been nominated instead of Hoch.
Now, let good men unite and clean out the
whole gang, and thus redeem Kansas.

GOyERNMET TO MAKE ITS OWN CEMENT

The Interior department has decided 10 pro-
coed with the erection of government cement
plant in the vicinity of Tonic Basin, Ariz., lor
furnishing material for the big irrigation pro-
iect there This discussion is the result of the
rejection of the bids submitted by cement man
ufacturers, the government estimating that 1t
can eject factory and produce the cement
cheaper than it can buy from the manufacture
ers.-Olathe Tribune.
We are gradually learning that government
ownership is good thing. One of these fine
DAYS, we will find out that it will be good
thing for the government to own and operate
the railroads, the telegraph lines, the COAL iron
and other mines, and that the government will
save money by establishing its own brick plants
as we'll as its cement plants, for the purpose OF
erecting government buildings. 1t will be some
time before we fully grasp the idea, but we are
gradually learning.

HENRY ALIENS PLAN FOR HARMONY.

Henry Allen, one of the Republican nomi-
nees for congress in the Second district, insists
that he wants harmony in the party, and to
prove il, he has submitted plan to The Bower
sock crowd which appears quite plausible. His
plan is to let the Repubicans--the rank and
Gle-say who shall be the canddate-the peo-.
ple-that is, the Republican people-to hold
primaries, and vote on their choice as candi.

The plan is good one, but the BoweIsock
people don't appear to like it; indeed, they re
fuss to adopt it. They may think they've sure
thing now, or they may be afraid to submit
their case to the voters. At any rate, it looks
bad for Bowersock.

The Cake-WaIk.

The real origin of the cake. walk very few
people know. OF course, that it originate in
the balmy South, and with the Negroes, all
know, but just how is rather interesting to
hear.
AT first, the well-known walk was only an
incident in their dances, and was an imitation
OF game-cock as he announces his victory,
strutting and tapping his wings.
One man would stand at the head of a line.
and all would follow, doing just as he did,
strutting, Growing and scratching. The more
grotesque and novel the antics of the Negro.
the greater was the amusement, and the couple
who provoked the most fun and laughter were
the most popular, and the man was declared
"cock of the walk" and made leader of the
next exhibition

WILL HEAR IT.
Judge Rorabacks Discus. sion In Terryville
 Case.

Bristol, Oct 11.-Judge Roraback to- day handed down decision in the case of the members of the German Lutheran church, who a short time ago, in meeting, dismissed the pastor, Rev Otto Duessell, in which he says that the meeting was illegal and calls for another meeting of the voting members of the church, atl which the yea and nay voters may go on record. Judge Roraback finds the meeting ille- gal through some defect in the call. The meeting at which the pastor was dismissed was held some time ago in the basement of the German Lutheran church and the members by a majority vote decided to dismiss the pastor. The minority members appealed the case to the courts, claiming that through a defect in the call all the members of the church were not pres ent and also that the votes did not go down on record. After another meet ing is called Judge Rorab back will hear the case further in Waterbury.

NO SKYSCRAPERS
 ALLOWED IN PRUSSIA

Berlin, Oct II, 12:48 D. m.-The Prussian ministers of public works, the interior and commerce have just rejected petition for the erection of sskyscrapers" in Prussian cities.
 The petitioners pointed out that the present limitation of the height of buildings in Berlin to seventy-four feet is unnecessary in view of modern methods of steel construction. The ministers answered that the danger of fire had not been reached through steel framing, citing recent cases in the United States where people on the high upper stories could not be res, cued when fire broke out in the lower stories and showing that it was im- possible to get water so high to ex, tinguish the flames. Furthermore. the ministers said, the removal of the pres. ent restrictions would inaugurate wild real estate speculation. The associa- ton does not intend to let the matter rest with the answer of the ministers and will endeavor to have them re- verse it. The association is backed 11p by the opinions of a number of Ger. man experts, who assert that all the demands of the fireproof quality of high buildings can be satisfied through the American steel frame system.

FRIDAY IS THE DAY
When Waterbury's Finest and Fire
 Ladies Will Come Out.

Chief Egan and Chief Snagg met to- day and discussed the relative forma- tions of the police and fire departments on the green before the parade next Friday. Both departments will proba- .bly have more men in line this year than last. This will be the first re- view in which Captain Charles Nc. ,Evoy and the firemen from the Brook lyn engine house have taken part. Chief Egan said that the formation on the green will be, the same, probably, as last year. The firemen will line up to the left of the police. The members of both departments do not like the order extending the line of march. They say that there was no need of it and short parade is just as bene- ficial as a long one.
 The city officials have invited aI- most everybody ill town to review the parade and inspection of the police and fire department on October 14 with the exception of the newspapers. Tn the past the papers received invi- tations and the scribes sat beside the officials on the way to the different fire houses, but 1t seems the powers that be don't care to associate with such insignificant mortals. One of the safety board members told re- porter last night that they hadn't sent invitations to the papers and that he didn't see any sense in such thing. The newspaper fellows feel the slight and are thinking of getting up party of their own before the cold weather sets in.
