MUST STOP SWEARING.
District Stablemen Ordered to Be
have or Lose Their Jobs.

As was told exclusively in The Star last
night. the residents and property owners in
the vicinity of the Districts street clean
ing department stable, in an alley between
N and o and 9th and 10th streets north
west, are up in arms at the noise and
nuisance said to be caused at the stable
and many protests have been filed with
the Commissioners, asking that the al
legged nuisance be abated. Several of the
persons in that neighborhood say nothing
has been done in this respect, and that
unless the Commissioners take some no.
tice of their complaints they will entef
suit. They say the conduct of the drivers
of the wagons and the laborers and the
various other nuisances are almost intol-
cradle
The Commissioners and Supt. Two
hey of the street cleaning department
say that everything is being done to re-
duce the Objectionable features of the sta
BILE to minimum, and that they regre,
that neighbors have been annoyed.
Mr.. Twohey said that the men employed
at the stable have been ordered to make
as little noise as possible . and to refrain
from vulgarity and profanity, and that the
superintendent of the stable has been or
dered to see that these commands are
obeyed.
"Of course said Mr.. Twohey. lit is
impossible to operate the stable without
making some noise. and considering the
class of the men employed as drivers and
laborers 1t is not surprising that they talk
loud and use profanity, but in every in
stance where any man is caught swearing
or yelling he is severely reprimanded for
the first offense, and, if he repeats it, he
Is discharged"
The Commissioners have called the at
tent.on of the police of the second precinct
to the alleged disorder and vulgar conduct
of some of the men.

lit is but natural that those who have
followed all their lives the democratic
standard should longingly desire their
partys success, but this success cannot
be gained by either shouting our party
name or attempting undemocratic expert
ments.
II am profoundly impressed by the con-
viction that the situation now confront
ing the people of our land has directed
their attention more to their relief from
conditions. that alarm and startle them
than to the empty satisfaction of parti-
san supremacy.
Our country needs conservatism, re-
cuperation from nervous prostraton, re-
instatement Of constitutional observance,
buoyant but none the less safe and
prudent Americanism, scrupulous care of
every person and every interest entitled
to care. and a square deal that means
exact and honest equality before the law
and under constitutional guaranty.
These things are still among the pos

cratic patriotism. sincerit y and wisdom

cause Of the trouble. She writes:
My heart so weak 1t could not do Its

seem that would never breathe again.
The doctor told me that coffee was causing
the weakness Of my heart. He said rnust stop

in North Carolina,

A meeting of the North Carolina dele
CATION in Congress was held yesterday
In the committee room of Representative
Bartholdt of Missouri, friend of the dove
and president of the American group of
the Interparliamentary Union, for the
purpose of comforting with officers of the
North Carolina Peace Society in regard
to the holding of a peace congress in
North Carolina in the spring.
A motion was unanimously adopted in
favor of the holding of such congress,
with a view to bringing public opinion
to the support of the progressive resolu-
lions adopted by the second Hague con-
ference, and to those still more progress
i've resolutions which the Anne rican Inter-
parliamentary Group expects to bring be-
fore the conference of national law
makers to be held at Berlin next summer.
The sentiment of the meeting was unan-
imously in favor of the holding of state
congresses at suitable times prior to the
convening Of the third Hague conference,

DEMOCRATS AT FEAST
TALK AT GOTHAM
JACKSON DAY BANQUET.

NEW YORK, January 9.-1n an ADDRESS
on why is the democratic party divid-
ed?" Morgan J. O'Brien, ex-justice OF the
New York supreme court. said at the
National Democratic Clubs Jackson day
dinner last night that if the causes that
have divided the party were summarized
it would be found that they have been
due to our failure to stand firmly for
democratic principles, to a preference
shown by some for popular drifting senti-
ment as contrasted with sound doctrine
and to a preference for men rather than
a reverence for party traditions"
The dinner was the first of a series at
which national and local democratic issues
will be discussed, with an intention to-
help democrats decide wisely the future
course of the party.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland, who
was unable to be present. sent his compli-
ments in a letter, in which he expressed
the conviction that the situation confront
ing the people had directed their atten-
ton more to their relief from conditions
that alarmed and startled them than to
the empty satisfaction of partisan su-
premacy.
Judge o'Brien's Speech.
Mr.. OBrien, after referring in highly
complimentary terms to Mr.. Cleveland.
and by inference to ex-Judge Alton Is.
Parker as IAN ideal candidate" said:
1.-The aims and principles of the party
have been so frequently stated in plat
forms and public addresses and so well
summarized in Jefferson's first inaugural
address, that it Is unnecessary to repeat
them at length. but in passing, it Is
proper to note that whenever the party
has stood firmly and unitedly for these
principles, we have never met with de-
feat, and it has only been when the party
has been divided, because of the hope
that success would result from following
some shifting popular sentiment, or some
new and impracticable REFORM that we
have met with overwhelming and deserved
defeat. To ascertain the cause of this
we need but look carefully into the cam
paigns that have been waged, and co.,
trast the men and the measures that were
successful with the conditions that exist
ed at the time of defeat"
