During the next two years the office of city attorney of Gary is one of the most important In the list of municipal officers. From this time on there will be hardly a meeting of the city council but what new ordinances will be

adopted. The old measures,' adopted by the town board, are now unconstitu

tional and new ordinances will have to be passed by the council. It was

thought that at one time a blanket ordinance could be passed, adopting all

ordinances at once, but this was found to be Illegal. -

The new ordinances will be all drawn up by the city attorney and the

greater snare oi his time will be taken in their revisement. The salary of the city attorney Is $1,500 per year and we believe that from the importance

of the oVsCe during the next few years that the city attorney earns every cent

of the money the office pays and that he is entitled to a higher salary.

A one time there was much ado in Gary because Attorney Bomberger was

Deing paid $ioo per month as city attorney. We claim now, as we did then, that the office is one of the most importance in the city and the holder ought

to be paid a salary, of which $1,500 per. year is not sufficient.

What appears to be a cleverly worked-out scheme on the part of some of those who would defeat Senator Beveridge is coming to light at Indianapolis. Despairing of overcoming the great personal popularity of tne senator, which haa increased at a tremendous rate the last winter, It is planned to get him snarled up In the local option fight in such a manner as to deprive him of friends on both sides. Just wherein the office of United States senator is to be affected by such a purely state issue is not apparent to those who are seeking principles and not the advancement of men primarily. Briefly the idea Is that the republican state platform shall not mention In any way the temperance question, nor shall it reaffirm the present declarations on the subject. It is therefore figured out by the senator's enemies that the friends of the saloon will thus have 'reason to come back to "the republican party, which they deserted last fall, as the absence of any specific declaration will be merely notice that the issue is closed and nothing will be

"THIS IS IY 74TH BIRTMDA Y. Samuel S. Burdett. Samuel S. Burdett, a former commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was born in Leicestershire. England, Feb. 21, 1836, and as u youth was brought by his parents to America. After studying at Oberlln college he was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law In Iowa. In the

Civil war he served aa captain In the first Iowa cavalry. After the Wfe.r he became a resident of Missouri" and for two terms he represented the sixth Missouri district In congress. In 1874 he took up his residence In Washington and for a year served as commissioner of the general land office. General Burdett took an active interest in the affairs of the G .A. R., and in 1885 he was elected commander-in-chief of the organization.

done. Also it Is believed that the radical temperance element. Jacking, a declaration dn the subject, will take U that the senator himself, being In control of the republican state organization, desires no declaration, and Is therefore opposed to the local option idea. The men hostile to the senator are opportunists. It was pointed cut by some of them at the recent meeting of the Republican Editorial Association that 'Judge Montgomery, who was one of the speakers there, will be a candidate for re-eleetlon to the supreme court, and that he had decided the local option law is unconstitutional. Another judge is also to be elected, and if he should be of the same mind the law would be upset on a rehearing. Then, without a declaration in the state platform the party, men would not be bound to re-enact the law, and Indiana would find Itself with the saloon on its hands again. It Is pointed out that If the platform makes no declaration the temperance end of the party, Governor Hanly at the head, would In all probability hold the senator responsible and there would be the biggest kind of. a

scramble, with consequent defeat. Fortunately, Senator Beveridgs is far-seeing and level headed. That fre will be led into any such a trap Is quite unlikely. His chances for success ara so great now, and the people are so heartily with him, that he will doubtless stand pat on what the party has done in temperance legislation. Lafayette Journal.
