We e1pss.- . very abiect apology
from the REPUBLICAN organ for its
characterization Of the delegates TO
the democratic convention as ami
mails. The only freak the writer
could discover in that entire assem-
blage was the gentleman who demon
mated the delegates as animals"
While it was to be regretted that
w. S. Wallace and ]. C. Plank were
compelled to withdraw from the dem
ocratic aldermanic ticket, good men
Will be selected to fill the vacancies.
The democracy of this city is bound
and determined that its aldermanic
nominees shall engage the support
of the general public. irrespective of
party. The ticket, so far as it re
lates to the aldermanic selections, is
a most excellent one and should in
vite the hearty support of every dem
ocrat and every citizen having the
welfare of the city at heart.
As an educational factor, the ly-
ceum course lectures of the past
three years in this city have been of
the very greatest benefit Men of
national reputation, scientists. lee
turers, singers. talented musicians,
the greatest the country affords, are
brought here through this course and
give of the best they have, for the
benefit of the subscribers thereto.
Grand Junction cannot afford to
forego for any year the pleasure, en-
tertainment and education this
course of lectures affords, and the
executive committee of the course
Reverends Weir and Becker-should
have the backing. moral and finan-
cial. of the public in their unselfish
and Improbable work of providing
the citizens with such splendid enter
tainment.
No city grows in wealth and pop
ulation that is content with present
day conditions. A city must move
lOTNdTu OF DdCkWdTus IneTe Is no
middle ground If the retrograde
movement begins, property values
decrease and there is general aban-
donment of desire to make pro-
gress. On the other hand. with in
crease of population. values increase
also taxation. But this increase in the
expense of conducting a city may be
greatly reduced, if care is taken to
avoid unnecessary expense and ex-
travasance. The very general idea
prevails that any sort of service is
sufficient for city. Such an idea
should not obtain. 1t should be CON
demned on every hand. Those who
labor for the city should be expect
ed to return an honest days labor
for an honest days wage. We have
no toleration for the idea that public
labor is simply a graft. 1t should
be as well performed as when an in
dividual contracts with private per-
sons. The democratic platform
stands for and demands that the la
borer shall be worthy of his hire in
all departments of the city govern
ment.

OF the two platforms for the mu-
nicipal campaign, the democrats are
well satisfied to have theirs critical
ly compared with that of their op-
ponents.

DISMISSED IN DISGRACE.
Turkish Official Guilty of Discourtesy
Toward American Legation.

The acting secretary Of state has received
a mail report from United States Minister
Leishman at Constantinople, in regard to
IAN unpleasant incident" which occurred
July g. last. being the arrest of Mr.. Gar
ton. by police agent. on the charge of
having violated the Turkish laws against
the possession of arms and ammunition
The importation of arms and ammunition
into Turkey is forbidden by law, but it is
stated that several foreign merchants In
Constantinople have been smuggling such
articles into the city. To stop such practice
the Turkish police authorities directed the
arrest of persons leaving these stores with
either arms or ammunition. The dragoman
was one of the victims of this police order.
He was arrested Immediately after he had
purchased a small box of cartridges.
Minister Leishman reports that the drago-
man was kept at the prefecture for about
an hour, owing to the fact that the minister
of police had not yet arisen and could not
be disturbed. AS soon as that official was
advised of the arrest he ordered the re-
lease OF the dragoman at once and express
ed the most abject regrets and apologies.
Minister Lefshman lodged a formal protest
with the minister of foreign affairs against
the arrest as a breach of diplomatic i'm
munities.
The minister of foreign affairs expressed
his deep regret at the occurrence and re-
ported the matter to the palace with the re-
suit that the sultan sent one of his cham
beriafns to the United States legation to ex
press his majesty's regret "at the unfortu-
nate occurrence" and stating that the po-
lice agent had been dismissed in disgrace.
The chamberlain also expressed the hope of
the sultan that these apologies would be
accepted by the minister as closing the in
eident.
The incident IS officially closed
