Pride of Party Gone.
The real trouble is that pride of
party in disappearing. Time was
when a leader might rally the ele-
ments in the Republican party by
calling upon its members to uphold
the reputation of the G. o. P. for
efficiency and smooth dispatch of
public business. Only the Demo-
Gratis used to be held up to scorn
as unable to handle legislation eff
ficiently. So many groups have
arisen in the senate and house that
instead of pride of party there is in
its place pride of individual opin-
ion. There is little regard for
party harmony. A Republican con-
gress, for instance, has just en-
barrassed a Republican president
and secretary of war by ordering
that the standing army be cut down
to 10000 men by Oct. / instead of
next May, as originally planned. AS
consequence the government is
| placed in the position of having to
| discharge men who enlisted for a
year The government in other
words is obliged to break it's con-
| tract The secretary of war thinks
, it would be a stain on the honor of
the government to do SO yet he is
required by law to bring the army

was appropriated. He can't keep

move off the street. owing to the TACT that there
was not room for her. Through the kindness OF
some of the clerks in Barrier Bros. store the lady
secured a box, to display OF her work and
needles When she had only been there few
minutes the boxes were ordered carried into the
store by an officer. 1t is very common to see men
sitting and standing thg particular corner on
Saturdays so that it is almost impossible tor ladies'

who was making honest living was forced to

Of this kind on the sidewalks, and our officers
were merely doing their duty, but there should be
another ordinance on the heels OF this to keep men
from blockading the streets. Some old fellow will

many. or the labor unions something else that
he knows little or nothing about. and get crowd
