THE

pretenders are still pretending,

but the wind will soon be taken oat of them. THK injunction granted by the circuit court against the city will be argued Monday.

LET it be borne in mind that as soon as the city obtains control of its own affairs the laws will be enforced.

BY

the aid of the circuit court's injunction the metropolitan gang once more have the city by the throat.

DIFPEIIENT

sections of the country have

been blessed with good rains within the past few days. They have been of great value.

Tus so-called metropolitan police board has taken the very step that was expected. It hafigs on by an eye-brow. That eye-brow won't bear the weight long.

THE

present police force is the city's

force. The metropolitan's were perpetually enjoined by Judge McNutt from interfering in any way. They were ousted by his decree.

THE

mayor's salary is $1,500 a year,

$5(.00 a day, and $5.60 an hour. It looks as though he might have waited three minutes longer in order to have a session of council the other night.

TUB

pretenders keep tli8 police demoralised. The so-called metropolitan gang are alone responsible. There is no safety to life nor property. There is no enforcement of law. They have been ousted by a decree of the court and they must be held to a strict accountability for all results.

Tue Gaxette simp'.y lies about the cottnciliBcn. Within three minutes from the time that Judge Allen adjourned the council the republicans would have beep ready to go Into session. Judge Allen's ha«te to adjourn was nil that prevented a session of council and the Gasetteknows this.

THE

republican members of the coun­

cil are in no wise chargeable with any wrong doing, with any violation of the law. The facts are, they were In caucus and sent for absentees, and just as they were ready to go into the council chamber Mayor Allen adjourned those present The whole thing was a pre-ar-ranged trick. It has not succeeded nor will not succeed. It is apiece of work that will return to pleague its authors. See if it don't,

FOR

a time the city is again under control of the metropolitan crowd which the superior court by decree ousted. The city authorities properly bow to the edicts ol the court*. They can weli afford to abide thereby. It will only be short time until the pretenders will he squelched and the city step into its right* iul authority of self government, Though crushed lor the moment and in shackels, troth will assert her divinity, and this infamy shall certainly be driven away, and patience, and perseverance, and right will accomp^h its purpose.

Up tot late hour yesterday Judge Allen evidently regarded the metr©p©Bt*ne as knocked oot, as ousted, for he sent tor Mantel Prindmlte to serve some ceases, but by the time Prindivilk arrived the so-called metropolitan polios board had taken action for 6Hn application In the cirtmit court for an injunction ugainst the city, whersapoa Mayor Allen sent PrindiviUe away and had a so-called metropolitan to serve his pwcww,

says here and

now that the Gazette is busy covering up the unlawful acts of its party in council by attacking and villiiying the republicans.

FIFTEEN.

Just fifteen applications for saloon license appeared in yesterday's Gazette These fifteen at $S each equal $45. It is no wonder that the Gazette has no word to say against the gambling hells and wide-open, law-defying saloon. It is no wonder that the Gazette, the saloon's organ, has no word to say in favor of the enforcement of the law. It can see noth ing but angels and white-winged messen gers of peace in the saloons, but it finds that King and Ross and Asbury and Fu qua and Griswold are little less than devils and bummers and law-breakers. The Gazette stands by the hells as their personal organ.

IT'S

a pure bluff.

That injunction is. "it iff &n effort loTreak into the city hrMWUfy.

The decree of the Superior court knocked out the pretenders, and they are aware of it.

No compromise, Mr. City Attorney The pretenders have no case. Let the red-eyed law take its couree.

Gentlemen of the council, it is your duty to keep the hands of outsiders out of the city'3 strong box.

There is no question of right upon which to base a compromise. The pretenders are ready to beg for quarters. They want a compromise. They have no legal standing and, therefore, there is nobody to compromise with. They are mere citizens charged by law with no public duties. Judge McNutt so decreed it. It's all bluff.

"THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE."

The members of the police force and the people were treated to a disgraceful division of the force at roll call last evening by City Attorney Stimson and Chief Davis ana Sergeant Trail attempting to take possession of the force.— Express.

We think that the Express is a little bit off, for the people could not have been disgraced DV tbe action of Stimson, Davis or Trail. It was the voice of tbe people who put them there. It was the state who put upon us that cursed met ropolitan police system which was a disgrace from the start.—-Afro-American Journal.

The Journal is correct. Stimson, Davis and Trail represented the wishes and the voice of every good citizen, every law abiding citizen—white and colored. The F.Y nroaa tuupbimw** THO tminuw tenders. The mojority of the people stand by these citizens. They are representatives officially and as citizens of all those who believe in the rights of the people and law and order. The Journal put the case precisely as it is.

THE LATEST.

Pure bluff! It's a trick and blackmail of the city. The latest in the police con* troversy is that* the metropolitan pretenders applied for an injunction to force compromise. They meant by it to secure pay for the pretender Con Meagher pretender Pierce and the other pretenders. Let the city council, and all the city authorities stand firm for the city's rights. Don't be bluffed. Don't allow the city to be blackmailed. Don't allow the city treasury to be bled to pay for expenses it has not incurred. Pay tbe city's force, and pay nothing else. There is no other police force than that which was created by the city. Stand by the law and don't be bluffed. The city has won its case in the superior court The court decreed an ouster of the pretenders. No compromise except such as the law declares. Let the metropolitan pretenders look to their attorneys for their salaries. No googing the city treasury. That bluff won't work. Its not ago. Knock 'em out With more law if they want it.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. Let the people bear in mind these five great central facts in the police controversy, as follows 1. That the so-called metropolitan board never, a! anytime, "organized"and"avated'" a metropolitan police force, as repaired by that defunct law. Therefore thers never has been a metropolitan police force*

It therefore follows that tbe socalled metropolitan board had no police force, which it had any right to control. 3» Tbesuperior court has by two separate decisions held the vital parts of tbe metropolitan police law void, void, void. 4. Not only did the superior court hold the vital parts of the metropolitan law void, bat the court followed up these two decisions with a decree of outer, immediate ouster of the pretenders on the complaint of the city attorney, 5. Inaccordaace with these decisions and this decree of immediate ouster ol the metropolitan pietc&dem, thecity through its attorney, and it* chief of£poitee took poisea^oftl» l!^b«laetpt« to the dty.

{COPTHIQHX, 1991.1

When Jack Hartley told me that he going to save money I was absolutely certain of two things: First, that he wouldn't do it and seoond, thqfb he wouldn't try, if he hadnt fallen in love. V"' "I've discovered a new system of economy," said he, "and it's a sure winner." "Is it as good as tliat system of beating the races?" "Don't, Howdy," he said: "I'm done with all that now. Ah, old fellow, how poor, and weak, and silly all these forms of wasting a man's time appear when he has learned what love is! Pd rather sit in that littlq seven-by-nine coop

which Mrs. Sand rents me for four dollars a week (and expects it in advance, too may remorse devour her eternally) —I'd rather sit in that cheerless cage and think of her—" "Her? Do you mean Mrs. Sand?" '•You know whom I mean," he said, reproachfully, "Miss Leigh." "The heiress?" "Yes and, Howdy, I have won her. speak of it with reverence as a blessing undeserved, and to you alone as my best friend, but it is true." "Apd hey aristocratic family? Do they have the remarkable penetration to approve of her choice?" "Her mother bows to me," said Jack, "and her uncle doesn't shoot me. I know he wants to do it, but never mind. I cannot expect too much recognition immediately. I must get upon a firm financial basis first. Don't laugh at me the richest men are those who began without a cent." "Seeing how matters stand," said I, "your Uncle David ought to help you along. He could give you one hundred thousand dollar mid ru*var miss it." *txttoo ttr- eifclaftncd Jacit, "you dont know him. If he dropped a penny into the Atlantic ocean, he would go down to bottom in a thousand fathoms of water to get it." "Well, let us hope that he may," I said, cheerfully "I believe you are his heir." "Yes so he says. But while he lives I can expect nothing. He believes that spare diet, thin clothes and his own shining example are all that I can possibly require in the struggle for wealth. Did you ever know a man whom blind, blundering luck had made rich, who wasn't always preaching patience and frugality to the young? 'Look at me," says Uncle Dave, 'I started at the foot of the ladder.' So he did and he'd have been there yet if fate hadn't turned the ladder upside down. "A relative left Uncle Dave a tract of wild land out in Indiana in the old days. Dave tried to-eell it for nine shillings and cotddnt. By and by somebody came along and wanted to found a town there. Dave tried to drive him away. He wouldn't go. A lot more men came, and before long they'd built a city. They encroached on Dave's land. He didn't do anything about it, but one day a lawyer

for the next six weeks whenever he had an inclination to spend two dollars he did so, because after all it was only the two dollars which he had saved on the shoes. He really was frugal in thft way he could make the thought of a little saving last through more extravagances than any other man I ever saw. And sometimes he carried his frugality into small things. He wouldn't think of smoking a twenty-five cent cigar after dinner he would buy three for half a dollar and smoke two of them.

Knowing him so well, I was anxious to hear the story of the little bank, and I had no idea that it would be necessary to wait a year for it. I felt reasonably sure that a financial panic would overtake that institution long before its charter ran out. It was in November that I had the first conversation with Mm about it. Last week he came to see me again and, with a countenance in which pride and humility struggled for the mastery, he presented the first (and last) annual report of the LeighHartley institution of savings. "I won't hear anybody say a word against that bank," said he. "It was a splendid idea, and the most convenient thing that ever was. It made money, too, at the start. I made it a point to have quite a lot of dimes and quarters errery time I called. When haDPen&sl, to fee" out

gnange I would go into a

candy store not far from her house and get a bill broken. Of course I had to buy some candy as a return for the accommodation but that didnt count. I should have spent the money anyway. "It was awfully handy, having the bank, because sometimes when I called I'd be utterly busted, and wouldn't know where I was going to get half a dollar for breakfast next morning. Then we'd draw on the bank, and it was great fun fishing out the quarters with a hatrpin. She was president of the bank and I was cashier, and we used to learn the principles of banking by watching each other all the time. Sometimes I'd play that I was trying to get the money and abscond. Then she'd have to hold my hands "Don't, Jack," said I "let's stiok"to finance." "It was wonderful the way the funds held out," he continued. "We got any quantity of theater tickets out of it. She would always protest against making such an improper use of the bank's money, but I would show her that we had a rattling surplus, and that would settle it. Well, last week, you know, I was in a difficulty. I had twenty dollars coming to me, and I owed sixtyfive. Payment couldn't be put off any

kmger. I had tried every scheme but flight and suicide. The case was getting desperate when suddenly I bethought me of the bank. It didnt seem possible that there could be as much as forty-five dollars in it, but there was only one way to find out, and, that evening, I laid the case before the president. Most fellows would be ashamed to mention such a thing, but she has always urged me to be perfectly frank with her. "The president looked serious. She said in a hesitating way that she war afraid there wasn't quite so much monej in tbe safe, but there were various securities, etc. "I knew what she meant. She proposed to put the balance into the bank herself. Of course I couldn't permit anything of that sort. While we were arguing the question I detected her in the act of examining a little piece of paper on the sly. I said: 'What is thai?* 'It's the president's private account with the bank,' said she, holding it bohind her. 'The cashier has a right to see it,' I insisted. *Oh, no he hasn't,' she cried, and made a motion to throw it into the fire, I grabbed it and took it to the light. •*Howdy, when I had digested ihe contents of that document 1 felt small enough to crawl through the little hole in the top of the bank. It was a memorandwm which the dear girl had been keeping, and it showed that 2 had QT«rdrawn ihy account scventy-ntoe dollars and fifty cents. Nothing but my natural indecision saved my life!
