On the other hand Walters declares that he is duly elected and has qualified. He, too, proposes to act as chief, and some of the men, especially the nowly ap- pointed ones, will obey him, Thus the department stands divided and just what will be the result in case of a fierce fire can only be guessed at. The majority of the council, who thus sought to make a change in the chief- tainship of the department must feel decidedly ashamed of themselves. There is not the least intimation that the at- tempt to put Walters in was an honest endeavor to better the department, to gain a bettor chief, or to enhance any of the interests of the city. It is openly acknowlédged that it is purely a matter of political favoritism, a reward for ser- vice done by Walters, not to the democratic party, but to the Vaughan faction of the democratic party, for Templeto a democrat as well as Walters. 1tis simply an exten- sion of the strife between these two lo- cal factions of the democracy, and the faction winning demands the spoils, even at the cost of the efficiency of the fire department, and at the risk of great loss of property, The council have shown their inconsistency by declaring the old ordinance defective because it bound the action of future councils, and yet immediately passing an ordinance bind- ing the next council, for they have fixed the term of oftice of chief at two years, aud elected a man to serve two years. The learned city attorney must, to be consistent, pronounce the amendment Mayor Vaughn himself acknowledged yesterday that the council could not fix 1t formore than one year, and later in the conversation held that a council could elect a new chief al any time it saw fit.

Two young fellows were found yester- day lying drunk and fast asleep on the platform of David Bradley & Co's build- ing. They were tossed into an extem- pore patrol wagon and taken to the sta- tion where they were booked under the names of Jeff Donahoe and Jerry Sulli- van, and were charged with vagrancy The first number of the Buffalo Cour- der, published at Kearney, Neb., by J. C. Morgan, lately of this city, is received. The Courier starts out with a clean and happy face and with the promise of Mr, Morgan has left many friends behind him here, and if half of their wishes are fulfilled he will win in the new field the richest sort of success. A boy named Charles Whitaker aged 13 years, was picked up here by the po- lice yesterday and sent back to his home in Des Moiaes, from which place he and a oolored boy named Richardson ran away about & week ago. The little fel. low said he had got tired of travelling, hear the report of the committee who had been appointed to attend the mass meet- ing in Omaha, the night before. During the meeting Wm. H, Burns, the agent at the station, appeared and tried to induce the men to go to work, while he would 0 to Omaha and see what he could do with the officials in their behalf, and he then would report to them. They sat down on the proposal by a unanimous vote, refusing to return to work. Ex-alderman Fonda, engineer of the switch engine sat in his cab all day, with steam up, waiting to go to work, The only work done by the switchmen was the pulling out of two cars of oysters, at the special request of Mr. Burns who wanted the cars replenished with ice so as to mave the oysters. After they done this Mr. Burns waated some one to put ice in the cars, but theonly help he could get were the tive check clerks, who made a sorry figure of it. The clerks in Mr, Burns' office contin- ued the day out, but the opinion seemed to be in favor of going to work this merning, At thesame time t.hol knew that one-half of the clerks in Auditor Taylor's ofice, in Omaha, understood the business, aforesaid, that if they uthmk a surplys from that office will be ed on to fill the vacancies. Mr. Burns acted as yardmaster on several occasions yesterday. The pool lines had to do their own switching yesterday in order te get the cars that were consigned to them, The too-too secretary, Stripe, of Mr. Burns, made some very flowery speeches to the strikers, but could not exert much Templeton and Walters insist on acting as chiefn at a fire, the department will be | - thrown into confusion, and the flames meanwhile can have their own way. The council may call it *‘acting in the interests of the people” to thus trifle with one of the most important departments of the city, and to openly defy the writ- ten request of nearly all the business men and heavy property owners in the city, not to attempt any change in the position of chiefs. Bent on satisfying petty factional schemes, the majority of the council has not even acted on matured and wise thinking, but has rushed shead, until they have thus brought about an- archy and disorder.
