DEMANDS SHOW WHO RULES
Rub Shoulders With Washington's
Society People in Front Of Civil
- Service Building


Washington, May 10Th city of
Washington, D. c., was treated to an
edifying spectacle the other day. A
thousand men and women stood in a
line all night, and far. into the the
next morning, waiting to be first
when the Civil Service Commission
gave out 1000 jobs for unskilled la
borers, paying $500 to $3.50 and So
per day. When the doors finally OPP
ened there were 5000 applicants in
the line.
Washington is rich, proud city.
1t boasts of greater per capita pros
perity than any other city of the
United States. 1t has no laboring
class to speak of. Manufacture is not
permitted to mar the nations show
city.
Here, if any place in the United
States, there is comfort; her the
wolves of hunger are not at the doors.
And we are told we are prosperous,
at the very flood tide of prosperity
brought by 16 years of republican
rule. We are warned not to break
t.. that prosperity BY passing drastic
tariff revision and other radical leg
islation. .....-.~~-.
What REPUTATION of the standpat
argument was that aII-night line in
front of the Civil Service Building,
at the very edge of Washington's ex-
tensive millionaire colony, rubbing
shoulders with the fast society set
which sneers at a great secretary of
state because in simply democracy he
refuses to serve expensive wines at his
dinners!
What a mockery to the reactionary
statesmen to whose very doors this
tragic illustration of republican pros
prity was brought. What an answer
to the cynical ex-Speaker of the House
Cannon, who within week has
slightingly termed the unrest of this
country as Following after strange
gods - .'.-.-a ...-.
"Return!"' cry Cannon and the 9TH
er reactionaries. "Forsake your false
gods. Come back to the things that
were. Let wealth concentrate. Let
the trust forming, the special privi-
lege, the exploitation of humanity,
the rule of the rich go on. It is pros
perity."
And the answer-men and women,
the fire of hunger in their wistful
eyes, in weary, bedraggled, SILVER
ing line that bent serpent-like around
the marble corners of Washington.
There were women in the line,
swaying on their aching feet, strug-
Cling against sleep, fighting with
anyone who attempted to displace
them They had left their babies at
home unguarded against the perils of
the night, while they. held their
places. s5s ~ss~.sss 49, zzs
The people of this country demand
prosperity for those at the bottom as
we'll as those at the top and will
have their way, regardless Of politics.
If the democratic party does not obey
them they will seek other parties.
But with it's tariff revision, it's in
come tax, and the other great pro-
gressive laws which will be passed,
the democratic party is not faltering
in carrying out the wishes of a the
people. y

THE SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.
Report of Committee on Poor Adopted
School Street Grade Remains.

The special town meeting Tuesday
afternoon at 2 clock called out about
200 voters. 1t was unanimously voted
that the town sell the buildings re
Gently bought of Fl. P. Bancroft, aud
committee consisting of F. H. Bah
bitt. E. L. Walker and Dr. A. L. Miner
was appointed to sell the buildings
This action was necessary in order to
clear the lot for the erection of the
new armory buildings, which will be
begun at once. 1t was voted unani-
mously to exempt the Liberty Paper
company from taxation for a term of
10 years.
Rev G. L. Eaton, for the committee
for investigation of present methods
of caring for the poor of the town,
made a very comprehensive report,
showing the investigation thus far and
making several recommen dations of
improv ement. The committee asked to
be continued for further investigation
and that $3.50 be allowed for actual
expenses, including expense of esti-
mates upon buildings which they might
deem necessary. This request was
amended by the town, making the am
cunt $3.50 instead of $3.50, and the re-
port as amended was unanimously
adopted
Among the recommendations made
were that the accounts of the farm and
for assistance given outside families
be kept separately and published each
year distinct from each other also
that an account of the expenditures at
the farm should be itemized, showing
the several departments to which they
should be charged; also that the re
ceipts from the farm should be item
lied to show the different amounts re-
ceived from the sale of livestock, wood,
timber, produce, etc, and that the
annual report show the whole amount
ereceived from each, also a strict ac-
count be published, showing the amount
of produce raised at the farm, showing
what was consumed there, and what
sold, thus giving a stimulus to the
keeper of the farm to make it profit
able; also that a complete list of the
families assisted by the town, with
the amount appropriated for each, be
placed on file in the town clerk s office
each year in accordance with the law
section 1890, which has not been done,
and that it be made in card index
form; also that the annual report
state the number of inmates at the
town farm the first of each month of
each year for which the report is
made. The report states that the ia
cilities at the farm for the care of the
inmates is not altogether modern OF
creditable to the town, and it was
upon this point that further time was
asked for investigation.
1t was voted unanimously that the
town appropriate not to exceed $500
for building a new fence around the
old Catholic cemetery.
The interest Of the day conferred ID
article 5, which was to see if the town
would rescind the vote passed at the
March meeting ordering the cutting
down Of school street, ana considerable
discussion took place. A vote on the
question of dismissing the article was
lost, las to ~, and it was voted, with
out a dissenting voice, to reseind the
vote of the town, leaving the grade the
same as in past years.

CIRCUS RIDER FATALLY HURT.
Three Accidents Attended Show Fri
day-Wild Pony Caught by Lassos.

The circus exhibited on the grounds
at the north end of the village of
North Walpole Friday and had a par
ade including this village The par
ade was creditable in most particulars,
hardly equalled by the shows of the
afternoon or evening. A large crowd
attended the afternoon performance,
but not as many went in the evening.
Three accidents happened during the
day. While parading at the north end
of this village a boy of 10 years, son
of one of the proprietors Of the show,
was thrown from the pony on which
he was riding, and the pony created
sensation by dashing through the
crowd. Being very wild, it was nee
essary for two of the performers to
use lassos in capturing him. The boy
was somewhat bruised, but not serious
ly hurt. During the performance one
of the bareback riders used two horses
alternately and one of the horses rear
ed and threw himself back, falling
upon the rider, and the second horse
fell on top of them The rider was
seriously injurer, dying at the hospital
within a few hours. After the show
while the long tent poles were being
taken to the station with trucks, in
turning a corner near Riley 5 saloon in
North Walpole part Of one truck
was thrown against the corner of the
