about four miles , at $15,000 per mile. The
total assessed valuation Is about 42,500,000 ,
an Increase of about $ -1,000.000 over last year.
This , however , Includes the assessment on
3C5 miles of now road amounting to $1,405,995 ,

Notwithstanding the injunction from Judge
Brower.of the United States court , the coun
cil certified tbolr assessments ot the Pull-
flnan company's cars , the taxes from that

SOUTH OMAHA 1'OWTICS.
TTho Citizens * Party Hold Their Uast
Public Meeting Last Night.
It was a mooting of the citizens of South
Omaha last night , and about 200 of the "cits"
mot in Hunt's hall to tell what they either
Imow or thought about tlio coming election.
' They came In response to a hand-bill that
called upon all those who were in favor of
"good government , progressive and econom
ical Improvement , irrespective of religion ,
nationality or former political aOHIations. "
In fact it was a ' 'John Ennls for mayor"
mooting.
Thomas Norman took the char | and M. J.
Dovni.3 slung ink as secretary , The first
inau to the front was the irrepressible Coun
cilman Hascall , who came down to toll what
' ho know about the city hall sites. Ho wan
dered from the subject , however , and spolco
at some length on the necessity of improve
ments in Soutli Omaha , of tlio insincerity
nhown by Candidate Sloan , who was a pro
hibitionist in dlsguiso , and who owned no
property in the town of which ho wished to
become chief magistrate. Ho was followed by
elector Hill from Albright , who spoke feel-
itigly about the impressions H stranger vUlt-
Ing South Omaha for the first time would
have whou ho encountered the mud holes
that have now rendered the city famous.
Tom Barrett spoke of what a city like South
Omaha nccdqd at the present stage of its
existence , ami gave some good pointers us to
what was required. His udvico throughout
'was good , and when ho finished John Ennls
declared hlmsolf. Ho had not gene to
the tumors to toll what his programme would
bo If elected , for ho preferred tolling It to the
electors himself.1 Ho was In for progrosslvo-
ness , and for all necessary imnrovcmonta.
ven'lf those Improvements hod to bo paid
? or with every dollar that the law would al
low thorn to borrow. As to "law and order"
ho wns so fat in favor of It , that if elected ho
would obey to the letter the lawonnctodin

Vrork liLBQino other schema , When the ma
jority of the voters in South Omaha were
stiffmatlzecl as Curriers , " it was au insult to
i the Irish element that bad dona so much tb
jnako not only South Omaha but the country
what It WAS ,
i Dr. Glasgow was next called for and said
Vtfhila ho was a thoroughbred republican ho
was a citlrou of South Omaha , and as such
pitlzen ho could not supixnt a man who put
.party llrst , W , O. Sloan had dona this
and had come ouX as a democrat , and
ijk * a democrat only , while the best
intorostof the citizens had culled for a citi
zen not a democratic mayor. If the "tar-
rior" question came up , ho was half a tarricr
himself , but the only thing ho was in favor
of was booming Soutli Ouiaha us it never had
boon lioomod before.
A call for B. Jotter brought out Mr. Raymond
mend , who advised the citizens not to look to
.politics but to the best interests of South
Omaha , and that It they did this they would
ielect John Ennis ana his ticket ,
At this tiuio the proceedings
.wore varied by a motion to
'empower ' the chairman to appoint n commit
tee of throe to nominate the candidates for
the school board. The chairman was pre
pared for the emergency , and produced a slip
c f paper from which no raid the names of
H. Jotter , W , 8. Kcofe and D , J , JCuy. These
C -ntlemca retired to the stairway for con-
H Itation. and the audience took ad-
\ ntage of their absence to call
1 ra"UcrU , " who Is on the ticket
1 r treasurer. That gentleman finally made
1 s way to the front from tha window sill on
\vhlch no was seated , and In a few approprl-
ute words neatly thanked those present for
tlio honor they had conferred by nominating
liim. Then the audience wanted to hear
from the chalruuo , Knd h came to the front
"to entertain thorn wltU n few remark * . "
Ho had attended tha law and order meeting
on Saturday ) and had bean Impressed
with the Idea that there was an "un
savory" feeling exhibited towards
Ms warm-hearted follow countrymen.
Ho referred to nn episode in ' 54 , and said that
his blood boiled when ho hoard the men who
had fought for the Union called "tarriers. "
They wore the men that had built up the
railroads , the stores and the boarding houses ,
nnd although Iho other party was afraid to
call the Irishmen "tarriers , " they "Implied
by Implication. " Some ono Interrupted the
speaker at this point by saying , "We're all
tarriors. What thd h I nro you giving us I"
Not heeding the interruption the
chairman advised thorn to each
resolve himself into a committee of ono
nnd an such committee to go out and work
both bofora nnd on election day for the suc
cess of tholr ticket.
Throughout the proceedings were orderly
In the extreme , and the management were
entitled to credit for the order preserved.
There waa one black sheep in the flock , how
ever , nnd ho persisted in taking the floor
whenever the thought struck him.
Thou Mr. Hill spokti about the wants of
Albright nnd referred to the residents of
that precinct' as having been considered
"pumpkin" rollers , " but thought that any of
the other side would b "a ly loft elec
tion day. '
A voter of the Third ward then asked for a
Vote to see whether Mr. Ennls was the choice
oft ho meeting or not , nndwan ruled out of
order. The chair reconsidered the ruling ,
however , and put the motion , and at the
close declared that the ' -ayes havo.lt. "
The committee came in nnd reported the
following as the citizens' school directors for
the ticket : For n throo-yoar term , J. A.
MacMurphy nnd Dr. Glasgow ; for.two years ,
W. S. Koofo and John Saudor ; for ono year ,
F. S. Persons and John Yatos. This wai
endorsed bv the meeting and
placed on fllo , after which Hascall
gave a parting blessing , along with
some advice of how they should net on elec
tion day. Cheers were given for the ticket ,
thanks were given to the speakers , and the
crowd passca out , leaving the irrepressible
before mentioned making frantic clTorts to
address the chair the chairman had just
vacated.

Ninety Miles an Hour.
Minneapolis Journal : There Is now
polnp on oh the Burlington , Cedar
Rapids & Northern a test of a now rao-
olmnical contrivance ndnptcd to the
railroad locomotives which , if success
ful , bids fair iu its results to revolution
ize some of the most important matters
in railway operation. This contrivance
is known as thovGrimo valve-gear and
is the invention of John Grime , a well
known mechanic and once a manufac
turer of tills city. It is designed to
take the place o the ordinary valve-
gear or "link-motion , " and hecauso of
its importance nnd its abrupt departure
from established ideas , deserves a some
what extended notice.
Up to this time the link motion has
proved to bo the -best device for use on
locomotives on account of its simplicity.
Locomotive builders and master me
chanics liavo known * ' for a long time
that the link was not the most economi
cal valve motion ndr buo giving the
tull power of the steam , but1 at the same
time thorowas'no othor"dovico which
would answer their purpose. A locomo
tive is subjected to hard service , exposed -
posed to dust , dirt , rain and snow and u
valve motion , to stand the test , must be
simple , notliablo to derangement , dur-
blo' , and something which an engineer
can readily understand and operate.
Numberless attempts have been made
by inventors to meet these require
ments , but so far , while immense strides
have been made in improving on the
valve gear of stationary and marino en
gines , the same valve motion which
George Stephenson , the inventor of the
locomotive , applied to his engines , with
but few modifications , remains in use on
ocomotivcs.
The Grime valve gear was tried over
two years ajro the Minneapolis & St.
Louis at this place , but from.Jack of
funds at that time a full test was not
mado. Since then tlio inventor has
been worlring to overcome the vertical
movement of the engine on the driving
wheels , and finally has succeeded iu
reaching What ho has BO long sought.
The mechanism is extremely simple
consisting of but ono eccentric on each
side of the engine. The' upper end of
the eccentric strap is fastened to a
block which slides iu u guide attached
to the reverse side of the locomotive. At
a point midway on the strap , between
the eccentric and the sliding mock , one
end of the eccentric rod is attached and
the other end is fastened to the lower
end of the realtorarm.This gives to
the rod a combination of the eccentric
and slide block movements , which cause
a quick port opening. The gear is car
ried on the main driving axle by means
of two pedestals riding on'it , hold in po
sition by means of two radius bars.
These radius bars serve a two-fold pur
pose inasmuch as they overcome the
vertical motion of the frame on the axle
and thus the cut-off is neither varied
nor thrown out by low joints or the
roughness of the road.
The B. , C. R. & N. , engine , on which
the test is making , has been in service
hauling heavy trains since December
19 nnd has developed greater hauling
capacity by from live to eight loaded
freight cars and greater speed and fuel
economy thanany onginoof the class on
the road. By actual trial it has taken
twenty loaded card of coal , starting
from a dead stop , and in the length of
the train has developed a speed of
thirty miles an hour ou the speed shoot
in the way cas of the train. The driv
ing wheels on the onglno are only fifty
inches in diameter. With this same
train it has also run flyo.milcs in six
minutes and the engine was not worked
to the utmost capacity owing to the bad
state of the railt ) and road bed.
With a driving wheel ( ivo foot six
Inches in diameter , a locomotive
equipped with this valvo" motion has un
estimate powor.qual to fully the lim
ited express vestibule , train on the
Pennsylvania railway , at a speed of
nltoty miles an'hour' , with/ease. In
full economy this engine , while haul-
iug heavier trainsat greater spodd than
any other onglno of its class' ' ' , has shown
a decrease in the quantity'of fuel con
sumed , equal tq 25 per cent.
Railway' men were especially de
lighted at the performance pf this en
gine during the late blizzard. While
ether engines had their links frozen up ,
making it almost impossible. to handle
them.tho valve motion an.this ono was
worked by the engineer with ono hand
with case , as there was nothing to
freeze up about the motion.
The test is boiitg watched by railroad
men with much interest. The engine
is expected to arrive in Minnotipolls
within n few days , to make exhibitions
before the managers of northern roads

TESTING' FIG'HTER.
How the California Club Tries Men
Who Apply for KiiRngomcntH.
Sim Francisco Examiner A select
party of directors nml friends of direct
ors of tlio Callfornin Athldlio club gath-
orcd In Iho gymnasium yesterday nftor-
nooii ( Vnd were treated to n four-round
exhibition ot flsticufrs. It wns merely n
test of the physical powers of ono man
opposed to another. "
Frank Krollor , who has pivon himself
the Boubriquetof tho"Micmgan Giant , "
hag boon calling upoji the secretary of
the club daily for the past week , impor
tuning him to make n match between
him ( Kroller ) and Joe McAuliffo , the
heavy-weight champion of the coast.
Krollor looked like a likely young
fellow. He measured nearly six foot in
height in Michigan , whbro no stockings
nro worn , but out hora his head strikes
the beam.
Up in the lumber regions of the Wol
verine , state when gorged with pork
and beans , ho weighed207 pounds , but
in the California club room the ucales ,
balanced lit 105 pounds.
Krollor said ho was certain that Joe
McAuliffo is not the man ho is supposed
to bo. The idea of Sullivan boingntorror
was exploded , and ho wanted to explode
the same idea entertained regarding
the California bruiser.
\Vhon Director PhiI6 i'acoby heard
Krollor talk so confidently of himself ,
ho came to the conclusion that lie was
either a good man or a chump , and Di
rector Fulda backed up Jacoby's opin
ion.
Greggain , a heavy-weight boxer of
the San Francisco Athletic club , was
sent for to test the Michigander , and
they encased their dukes in big mittens.
Krollor stripped troll , though ho was
beefy , but ho did not raise his arms in
the orthodox manner , or guard in the
Sullivanoso style , and before ho was pre
pared to receive it , Grcggaiu had landed
his flst and the aspiring import was
nearly turned over. Ho know it was a
mistake on Greggain's part , for acci
dents will happen , oven in the
ring , and ho put , himself on guard
again , but was-- , , , moro cautious ,
It was Greggain'8 duty to test Krellor
so ho feinted with His left hand. It was
guarded tardily. Then quick as a flash
his right hand glovfecarromed with his
opponent's nose , Krpj lor clinched and
tried to push his adversary through the
window , but Mr. Fulda made them break
and saved a. nock. *
For a time thoTfighting was lively.
The men bcemed'Id be heated in the
second round and punched each other
merrily during th three minutes.
Krellor did the rushing while Groggain
did the hitting. ; /
The former had ono good guard , that
of holding his left arm stiff , permitting
the latter to run * jigninst it with his
nose. This was don'oVfor some time , and
was amusing for Kypllor until ho was
found out. , J
Then Greggain f am tod. and , as usual ;
hib opponent's leftiwas hold out , but it
was let down again when no attack was
nnulo. As it dropped Krollor went to
the iloor as though a falling motcor had
struck him. Ho was slightly paralyzed ,
but managed to got up and iinlsh out the
four rounds.
The opinion was that although ho was
about as clover as a snail , ho could rush
like a bull. The directors took his case
under advisement and they will doubt
less conclude by offering him a purse to

A Grcnt Steel Cannon.
A Pittsburg special to the St. Louis
Republican , gives this interesting ac
count of a big gun : "It is not prettyl1"
is the exclamation of five out of every
six of the many callers who inspect the
big steel gun every day. Last week at
least 2,000 persons visited the works of
the steel casting company to sco the
now canon and that number will prob
ably bo exceeded to coming week. The
gun lies in the lathe , to-day glistening
like silver from end to end. It has not
boon trimmed down to proper circum
ference , but this part of the work will
not bo completed for several days. The
diameter of the bore Is at prcbent five
and a half inches. This must bo en
larged to five and three-quarter inches ,
leaving one-quarter inch to bo cut by
the government to bring it up to the re
quired six inches. The gun
will bo ready for fahip-
mont several days before the
1st of April , the date which , according
to contract , it is to bo turned over to
the authorities at Washington. Yes
terday morning several tests were made
of the fatocl weld in the gun , which fully
boars out the claim of Mr. Ilalnea worth.
A longitudinal piece of the steel taken
from the brooch showed ultimate
strength of 012,500 pounds to the square
inch ; elastic limit , 6,000 pounds ; elong
ation , 10 per cent in two inches. A
longitudinal pleco from the trunnion
gave ultimate strength 81,420 pounds ;
elastic limit , 40,700 pounds ; olonpation.
27 per cent in two inched ; reduction of
area , 4-3.41 per cent , liftrom the muzzle
of the gun a longitudinal piece pravo :
Ultimate strength , 8SL120 pounds ; elastic
limit , 45,470 poundsjtutongation , 18 per
cent in 2 incHJnJ reduction of
area , 0,27 per com ; . , Cpinparison of
these teats with the jlCfl'uiromonts of the
contract shows that , JJr. Ilaincsworth
has in every paJticular furnished a bet
tor grade of steel than/was / demanded by
the government. Tlio manufacturers
of the gun were required to guarantee
nothing moro than the following quali
ties in the steel : Ultimate strength ,
80,000 pounds ; elastic tensile , 40,000 ;
elongation , 7 per oontln two inches ; re
duction of area , 7 no'fi $ ont. There can
bo no reasonable doubt now of the suc
cess of the gun. Thi/Hstcol has stood the
Boverofat tott that can lbo applied and
has proven that in every part of the
gun , tlio center as well as the outside ,
it is absolutely perfect.

SPOONER'S ' TELEGRAM ! BILL ,

Popular Errors tin to the Cost of
BtnliittttnliiK Telegraph TjIncH
Colonel I n go r soil Itcforo
the Committee.
The Western Union No Monopoly. .
WASHIXOTOJ ? , March S3. Dr. Norvln
Greeny president of the Western Union tola-
graph company , addressed the sonata com
mittee on intor-stato commerce this morning
on the Spooncr intcr-stato telegraph bill.
His company was not nvcrso to such enact
ment as proposed , with certain ' 6bjqctionablo
features stricken out. Ills' company Is an
apparent monopoly , while In point of fact It
hns no exclusive franchises , no legal privi
leges that anybody clst > cannot got. By tha
combination of telegraphs , rates have been
cheapened find the business greatly 1m- ,
proved in its. facilities and promptness of
service.Tho Western Union company hoped
to bo able by a thorough investigation to dls-
abuse thd public mind of many great errors
that have been actively propagated , as to n
number of things connected with the tele
graph. There were grons popular errors as
to the cost of maintaining the property. Ho
believed the Western Union company could
not bo duplicated for Its cost.
Senator Culloui Do you mean to say your
property cost (80,000,000 , !
Dr. Green I mean to say It could not bo
reproducedfor that sum.
Another popular error was the belief tha * ,
this great property wns controlled by ono
man. Grcon took up' on arbitrary section of
the bill relative'to handling of messages ac
cording tothotlma .qf their receipt. The
section should bo qualified by the addition of
the words "as near oa possible. " As to the
long and short line clauses no higher tariff
was charged between points on lines from
Now York to Omaha than between ter
minals. If > tho'secondsection ' of the bill
gave the Intcr-stato commerce commission
power to say what- charges were unreason
able , It would amount to n confiscation of the
company's linos. Ho would substi
tute the word "exorbitant" for
"unreasoTmTjlo ! " , ' The long and short
line clauso. should also bo modified
by the Insertion of the qualifying words ,
"under Hko circumstances. " In sections ,
the bill provided' that all parties , excepting
a news service , should bo charged Hko rates ,
The Western Union wanted a provision for
exceptions like that in the railroad bill te
cover its railroad contracts. The company
would' like tb here nn amendment adopted
settling the question of liability of the com
pany as to the production of telegrams under
n subpoami from courts and committees. Ho
would like to see a provision in the bill
limiting damages to bo paid for delay m the
transmission of .messages to say 500 times the
amount for' transmission. In conclusion
Green addressed hlmsolf to the Anderson
bill , requiring Paciflc railroads to maintain
and operate tholr own telegraph lines. By
such legislation the railroad companies would
be losers , the government would bo a loser ,
and nobody would bo bcnolitted.
Colonel Robert Ingcrsoll. representing the
Postal and United lines , said to the committees
that these Hues nro now substantially under
ono management. They meet the Northern
Pacific railroad at St. Paul , the Union Pacific
at Omaha , and the Santa Fe nt Kansas City.
At these pomts'the lines no represented had
to stop. Lines over the Pacific roads' were
all operated by the Western Union. Consequently
quently the contention was whether the lines
of the company ho represented ehould'havo
equal facilities over roadi built by the people
under the various Pacific railroad acts , or
whether they must pay tribute to the West
ern Union from these terminal points ho had
named. There was still another question :
whether his companies could oven bo allowed
to put their own lines along thcso roads. The
price of a message from Now York to San
Francisco was $1. It was also $1
from Omaha to San Francisco. All
his lines could do would bo to
send the message to Omaha and then
pay $ L to have , it transmitted to San Francis
co. Having by this arrangement been driven
out of United States territory , thcso lines had
made connection , via the Canadian Pacific ,
with the Paciflc coast , and had built from
British Columbia down , to San Francisco.
Ho cited authorities to prove that Paciflc
roads had no right to make a contract by
which the Western Unlonbad , a monopoly of
telegraphic facilities , and no right to refuse
to transmit messages handed them by com
peting lines. There would always bo two
great telegraph companies in this country.
The people would not submit to have the en
tire telegraph owned by ono company and
that company owned by ono man.
Dr. Green" asked If after the statement ho
( Green ) had made , Mr. Ingcrsoll could still
say the Western Union was owned by one
man.
"I know , " Mn Ingcrsoll replied , "that you
have stated that ono man only
owns so much , but I know
something about that ono man. 1 know that
ho is not in n corporation , and never will bo
iu n corporation , five minutes that ho docs
not control it. The Western Union has a
peculiar philanthropy of its own. It did not
wish anyone to Hvo If It conld help It. When
tlio Western Union was in doubt as to the ab
solute health of a competitor , it sat down to
wait until it died , and if it did not die in a
reasonable time it proceeded to do what it
could to hasten Ito demise. The Postal and
United lines was a promising company ,
it wai healthy and could not bo
swallowed. If the jwstnl could secure
equal facilities with the Western Union In
the transportation of poles and stipdllos and
in the right of way over the Pacific rail
roads , it would bo natisfuctory to it , if the
people and gqyernniont were satisfied.
General SwHyne argued in opposition to
Ingcrsoll. Ainoufr other things he said If
Ingursoll wanted to build on the line of the
Pacific railroads he did not need the help of
condress to do It. Thcro was on tlio statute
books authority for any individual to compel
the Paciilo railroad companies , bv manda
mus , to do .anything they were required to do
under the statute or common law ,

OMAHA , March ST. t o the Editor of Iho
BKK ! Mrs. Carrie Lane Chapman delivered
a lecture n few evenings nmcq nt the First
Christian church In this city on the subject
America for Americans , " In the bourse ol
which she assortcil that a majority of the
immigrants who land uotm our shore * are
'pnupors ' , criminals or worthless runlans. "
As the lecturer la a Indy It is perhaps pollto
to say that she Is mistaken , null not to
accuse her ot deliberate falsification. The
criminal records disclose the fact that no
larger percentage of those who emigrate to
this country are convicted of crime than of
those who are born horc. Neither Is it the
lay and indolent who , as a clan * , make their
homes In America , but It is tho- Industrious
and ambitious who by their energy and
economy arc enabled to accumulate enough
to pay for their passage , and who sever their
connection with their native laud for the
punHWo c ' bettering tholr condition , and not
with the Idea that once hero they will adopt
a llfo , of crime , . . . . . , i ,
She jurth.cr'ntatod that "tlio great Influx
of foreigners threatens nll.soclalordorj" But
that Influx has continued during the past
conturj- and our social system I * tul In ex
istence. And , by the way , it would bo Inter-
csting.to know how many generation ? have
passed away since the lecturers ancestors
were "despicable foreigners. " The only
true Americans nro the red men , mid the
whites and negroes nro , without exception , of
very recent Importation. Lot us suppose for
a moment that at the cloio of the revolution
laws had boon enacted which would have
prohibited immigration. Will Mrs. Chapman
tell us whether or , not there would bo at the
present day a town of any importance west
of the Ohio nverl
Again she says , > "Wo tvnntfowor Germans ,
Irish and French. " Thcro is not n moro
ponccahlo or law abiding class of citizens in
the United States than the Germans. The
Irish are Industrious and good citizens , and
have always been foremost In defense of
their adopted country. .And if any ono has n
right to como here it Is a Frenchman.
Wo must remember that wo would
never have gained our .independence had It
not been for the aid extended by the French ,
and the very ground upon which wo here
stand was coded to us by Franco. And so
wo might go through the whole list , and no
good reason could bo found why people of
other nationalities should not seek n homo in
America if they so dcslro. And to all such I
would say , como , and you will bo welcome.
Perhaps you are poor , but thank God htmost
poverty Is not a critno in this country except
in the eyes of n few lecturers like Mrs. Chap
man. And you will find that our laws are
ample for your protection , nud to punish
criminals , of whatever parentage , race or
color. And when yep arrive , plooso do not
bo deterred from landing because sonio

A Proposed Submarine Railway.
Halifax Mall : A Halifax inventor has
brought to the notice of the minister of
marine and fisheries a novel scheme for
the construction of a submarine cable
railway to connect Prince Edward inland
and the mainland. There is to bo u
single truck of plate steel , in sections of
20 leot length , V-shaped , 2 } foot wide
at the top and Iopt in depth , , which Is
to bo made hollow and air tight so as so
'
float. From tie lower polnt'of the V-
shaped truck two chains , . running out
obliquely and attached to heavy granite
pillars on the bottoms , will keep
the floating , track in. its proper
pobition at the required depth
under water. On the .top pt the
track , and attached toll by wheels run
ning underneath flanges projecting on
each side , there will move an air-tight
cigar-shaped submarine car , drawn by
an ondlcbs chain , worked from the shore
at each end. This car is to bo con
structed of sheet steel , 4 feet wide , 0
feet high and ! ! 0 feet long , and the main
internal compartment will bo fitted witli
scats on each side , , and a passage , in the
center. Each seat will hold ono per
son. At the ends where the car tapers
off there rare to bo air-tight' compart
ments , which will.givo buoyancy to the
car arid from which thd passenger com
partment will bo supplied with froth
air. The car being light at the top and
buoyant with compressed' , will re-
sain its upright posltiotr'and inako the
passage of ton miles through the , water
in about twenty minutes. The time to
construct the railway is estimated by
the investor at about two months , and
the cost at $ oO,000.

the llrst thing that happened was a sharp do *
cllno of , % a But nearly all of it was re
covered almost as quickly. It looked as if
the people who were buying corn wore per
mitting thoxrowd to sell It down before they
began the day's work. Encouragement for
short sellers doubtless came from the re
fusal of the Burlington to restore rates for
the present , and this , it was thought , would
compel the ether roads to continue the low
rates. As expected , higher rates had boeu
looked to for lessening receipts and making
the danger of a squeeze greater , so the falluro
to advance rates worked as nn encourage
ment to the boars. However , if they looked
for a decline In prices of any extent or per
manency they were disappointed , as ; ou tbo
