leader OF the insurgent forces. at

we cannot do business. Some sug-
gestfon has been made that we agree
upon the postal savings bank as an
inviting plank to stand upon, but
there is too much opposition to that
scheme for us to hope to do any,
thing with it. So it looks as though
there was nothing to do but wait un-
til the rules themselves can be at
tackled, then to go ahead and over
throw the speaker.

in general. Some of the other folks.
however, balk at the idea OF max

the best thing we can do is to wait
until we can all get together"
Danger for Insurgents.
The house insurgents are con-
fronted by two dangers while they
are engaged in their effort to over
throw Uncle Joe. In the first. place,
II they are not successful they are
very likely to lose whatever influence
they have in the house because of
inability to secure recognition from
the powers controlling that body;
and. second, they may lose out"
with the president for opposing leg
islation that the administration wants
enacted. There are a lot of post
masters to be appointed this session.
What makes the situation OF a
good many insurgents all the more
ticklish is the fact that their con-
stituents at home demand a fear
less attitude of them and expect to
see their representatives personally
twist the tail of power every time
they read ne home papers. Many
OF them were elected upon an anti
Cannon platform and when they come
up for reelection next fall. they may
have to do some strenuous explain
ing to hold their jobs.
Although the insurgents have held
a number of meetings since their or
ganiZatiOn under the agin-the-rules
banner last winter. they have not yet
been able to formulate any very def
mite plan of campaign. IL is prob
able that a number of them will take
the stump next summer. to assist the
primary fights of would-be congress-
men who will promise. II elected. to
strengthen the insurgent forces. BY
so doing. they may add to their
ranks next session when they think
they will have more OF a chance
really to do things.
The one point on which all the in
surgents are agreed is that the
speaker has too much power under
the present rules. Naturally the
element Of personalities enters into
the tight when even such an abstract
thing as the rules themselves are
being fought. and so Speaker Cannon
is the stern center That Uncle Joe
has exercised the power given him
under the rules. and right vigorous
ly. is not denied by even the most
rigid Organization" adherent In
fact the speaker himself is willing
enough to say that he wields the
gavel to suit himself and the best in

Now Over,


Brunswick mail carriers sighed with
relief yesterday when they realized
that the Christmas rush. which has
been on for four or five days, was
practically over, and while there will
be many struggling presents for the
next few days, the mail will get down
TO normal again and the carriers will
not have to work overtime TO get the
mail delivered.
Saturday and Sunday the postmen
had more than they could deliver. On
Saturday morning they were compell-
ed to engage hacks and made two or
three deliveries during the day, and
in justice to them it should be said
that they handled the heavy mail sat
isfactorily
Yesterday they were loaded down
again, as no mail was delivered on
Sunday and hundreds of presents were
received.
The express office force has also
been working overtime and the wag
ons have been busy for the past three

DEPARTMENT KEPT BUSY.
Six Alarms in TWO Days, But No
Serious Fires,

Serious Fires.
Brunswicks fire department was
kept on the move Saturday and Sun
day and in all the fighters responded
to six alarms, but not In a single case
was there a serious conflagration, and
very little damage was done by any
of the fires.
One of the alarms was the work
of the miscreants who find so much
pleasure in calling out the depart
ment; two others were the results OF
fireworks, while the other three were
all small blazes.
The first alarm was from box 43
and the fire was discovered in the
two story frame building just south OF
Gonzales store, making the second
time that an attempt had been made
to burn this house within week.
Chief Taylor is making an effort to
capture the person who has twice set
the house on fire, and If he succeeds
the person will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Another fire Saturday was at the
postoffice, and many people who knew
they had Christmas presents in Un-
Gle Sans building were somewhat
frightened An awning caught fire
from firecracker, but the blaze was
extinguished before any serious dam
age was done.
Another blaze was located in the
yard of ]. J. Spears on Amherst street.
The fence had ignited from fireworks,
but very little damage was the re-
suit
What threatened to be the most
serious of the several blazes occurred
Sunday morning, when the store OF
C. l.. Parker, corner of and Nor
wich streets, was discovered to be on
fire. The blaze originated from de-
fective f1ue and the fire was under
good headway when the department
arrived, but It was quickly extin-
guished with small damage.

The tests so far have demonstrated
the necessity for a special powder
