Mrs. Potter Palmer's Plans.
Mrs. Potter Palmer regards the proposed
plan for abolishing the sweaters' dens by
boycotting the firms who sell the cloaks made
In these places as n very Imperfect and im
practicable one , and is of the opinion that it
will never bo tried. It had been suggested
that if the cloak manufacturers , the men who
were at the money end of the business , did
not do away with the sweating dotts it would
bo an easy matter to bring them around by
the rich ladles In Chicago refusing to pur
chase nloaks made In such filthy , unhealthy
spots , nnd that this system of boycotting
would eventually corapell the manufacturers
to provide decent quarters for their help.
Mrs. Palmer , however , does not regard the
plan with favor.
Speaking about the matter to THE BEK
correspondent today Mrs. Palmer said : "I
don't believe in harsh measures being adopted
when any other course can be taken. Cer
tainly something should bo done to better
the condition of thcso unfortunates. But I
do not think boycotting firms is the proper
way to go nt it. The rich do not llko to be
dictated to by a certain class of people , nnd
consequently the rich should not endeavor to
force a certain movement on others. "
Of No KfTcot.
The report that the Women's Christian
Temperance union proposes Instituting a
boycott against the retail grocers who handle
wines is rather lightly regarded by down
town storekeepers. "I haven't heard of such
an action on tno part of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union , " said n Junior mem
ber of Jevuo & Co. "Wo sell wines and
liquors wholly to the family trndo. , I Imug-
ino a boycott of that kind , If It were insti
tuted , would not affect the policy of ourhouse
with regnrd to tbo handling of liquors. "
"I keep wines and liquors for sale Just as I
do cherries and canned tomatoes , " said C. H.
Slack , "nnd I sell to the family trade. In my
opinion an action like that indicated on the
part of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union would bo rather ill advised , ft would
not , of course , mnk any difToronco with mo
so for as selling liquor goes , nnd I do not
think It would hurt the trade of any other
reputable nnd well kncwn grocer. "

Congressman Uorsoy with reference to the

in favor of Omnha.
Mr. Hush , Mr. O'Donahoo ' and others be
lieved that It would bo much easier to secure

surance that the convention was coming.

At the county commissioners' mooting yes-
tcrcay Counclliimu Osthoff , In behalf of tno
city council committee on public property ,
requested the coopor.it.lou of the boiml In the
matter of selecting it design forpotllnK booths
to bo used nt the forthcoming fait election.
Chairman O'ICccffo was Appointed a commit-
tea of ouo to cooperate with the council.
City Physician Gapon said that Inad
equate provisions had boon made by
the city and countv for the care of
indigent sick and Injured people
end that ho dusired to confer with the com
missioners to see it some remedy might not
bo afforded. Tucro wore , in this respect ,
three classes of people , viz : readouts In the
city who wore unable to provide for thorn-
selves In case of sickness : non-residents wlio
were in the , 3,11110 condition and thirdly ,
emergency cases , nil of which required atten
tion , As to who should uttond to them , ho
wantca the cominlsilouors to determine for
the sake of the good name of both the city
nnd county.
Commissioner Tlmmo said that the com
missioners had nlroudy taken steps to bring
about nn understanding on the subject and
bad anticipated the city. JL'ho latter had not
done anything In the premises until n
stranger had died In the Missouri Pncltla
dopot. It then appointed u committee to con
fer with the commissioners , but the latter
had already Instructed the county attorney
to discuss the situation with the city attor
ney to determine wlmt was the duty of the
city and county In taking care of needy sick
ones.
County Attorney Mahoney said that as yet
ho hnd liad no opportunity of meeting Mr.
Popploton.
The chair atntod thcroforo that nothing
could bo tlono In the promises pending the
conference of the atioruoys.
A number of communications regarding
polling booths were referred to Chairman
O'Kocffo.
A communication was received from Uyau
& Walsh , asking that the commissioners take
spmo action regarding the settlement of tnelr
claim for tbo completion of the county hos
pital as allowed by the court.
Commissioner Berlin asked for Informa
tion regarding the status of the case , uud
having received It , said that ho was willing
the matter should bo decided then. A ttmo
bad boon set to settle those old scores. Several -
oral of them had been gotten rid of and now
only this claim of Hyau & Walsh and an
other remained.
County Attorney Mahoney said that In the
claim interest on the same had boon included
and that the Judgment of the court also In
cluded interest from the flrst day of the Feb
ruary term.
Commissioner Berlin moved that all the
warrants which had been issued In favor of
sub-contractors in this matter bo cancelled ,
and that a now warrant for the amount of
the Judgment bo issued , made payable to the
cleric of the district court.
Mr. Mahoney said that If It was
the .intention of the county com
missioners to not appeal the case
to the supreme court , It would bo advisable
for them to instruct the county attorney to
take no moro stops regarding an nppoal.
That would render the amount of the Judg
ment available. It would also render un
necessary the issuing of warrants or paying
the money to any person and thus prevent the
possibility of being considered In contempt
of court , because the injunctions issued nt
the Instance of several contractors were still
In force.
Mr. Berlin said that while ho was satisfied
that this money , if now distributed among :
the working people of the city would do ton
times moro good than if paid later , ho wanted
to know U tbo interest In the claim could not
be saved to the county.
Mr..Cunningham Wus nrosent and the com
missioner asked him if the interest could not
bo knocked off.
Mr. Cunningham said that ho could not
speak In the matter for the rest of the firm.
A vote was then taken on the motion to
instruct the county attorney to take no fur
ther steps regarding appealing the case and
the motion prevailed. The award Is in the
vicinity of * 'I3,000.
A communication was received from John
Dale explaining that his bid for the * 153,000
refunding bonds meant that they would betaken
taken with accrued interest to the data of delivery -
livery of the bonds to him. In his bid Dale
had used the words "to date" as designating
the ttmo to which the interest would be paid.
Those words could refer to either the day of
tbo delivery of tbo bonds or the opening of
the bids. To sot at rest the ambiguity , the
commissioners asked for an explanation.
The contract for building the county hos
pital sewer was awarded to Ueovos & Galla
gher. The bonds for $2,000 was signed by F.
Iteeves , C. V. Gallagher , , T. Creighton and C.
P. Taggort.
The committee on ilnnnco recommended
that the $155,000 refunding bonds bo awarded
to John Dale , conditional that ho sign an
agreement in accordance with the advertise
ment. 11 also recommended that in tbo event
of bis falling so to sign , the bonds bo
awarded to the Ulobo loan and trust com
pany , which was the next most favorable
bidder. Commissioner Berlin moved to
amend , specifying that the agreement should
show that Interest was to be paid on the
bonds up to the delivery of the
Mr. Cadet Taylor , representing the Glebe
loan and trust company , objected. The bid
of his company was the bost. It was not
right to permit Dnlo to modify his bid. The
bid of the Glebe was higher by ? 250 than
Dale's , the former specifying the payment of
interest on the bonds up to the date of de
livery.
Commissioner O'ICcoffo said that ho and
tbo auditor had submitted the bids to some
bankers and that they had suld that Dalo's
was the best and the Globe's next In merit.
Commissioner Berlin said that while the
bid of the Ulobo was of the stralghtost and
plainest character , ho would not vote to give
the bonds to anybody unless the bidder
agreed to pay Interest to the date of delivery.
Dalo's bid offered $103 with accrued Interest.
Mr , Dalosald that bis bid meant what ho
had written in bis note to the commissioners ,
above referred to , and that interest would bo
paid up to tbo dnto of delivery.
Tbo motion to dnllvor the bonds to Dale
prevailed , and the latter gave a bond in thu
sum of ? 1,000 to protect the county In the
event of his failure to take the bonds.
On the request of the Douglas County
Agricultural society It was decided to employ
twenty deputy sheriffs to police the fall-
grounds during the coming fair.
The committee on Judiciary recommended
the payment of $1UO to Dr. Coulter for the
holding of post-mortem examinations. This
caused Commissioner Tlmmo to Jump to his
feet with an objection. He know that there
were Items In tbo bill wlucb should not bo
allowed. Ho had opposed them bcforo and
would have shown up their Illegality had bo
not been sick. Ho nsUcd that the matter bo
deferred till next week.
The request was Joined In by Mr. Berlin
and granted.
The payment of the Third ward assessors
aroused the opposition of Commissioner
Tim me. Ho claimed the cost was too great.
Tno bill was fOll ) , and in other and larger
wards the expense was not nearly so great ,
In fuct , In some of them the cost would not
exceed f050. Ho favored the reduction of
tbo bills of the deputy assessors 25 per cent ,
Mr , Berlin moved that the following
amounts bo paid : Anderson , tlKl ; Tibbotts ,
* ! " ! ; Cosgrovo , tlB'J : Crosby , tlfiii , and Me-
Grath , f. ) . These figures ho claimed were
loss than those asked by the assessors.
Commissioner Timmo then showed that the
cost of assessment In the other wards was UH
follows : First ward. $ . " > < ! : Second , ! 7 ! ;
Third , SU1U ; Fourth , * WT ; Fifth , * r > l'J ; Sixth ,
fTOl ; Seventh , f-r > l8 ; Eighth , { 4150 ; Ninth , flHl.
His motion would reduce the Third ward bill
tn foil , which was all It ought to bo. Thu
expense this year wast greater than that of
lust your nnd bo wanted to prevent the us-
sensors from presenting a bill next year of
11,000. The county attorney hud stated that
the most an assessor could loyally charge for
his services wan 203 and an assistant f 171.
While au attempt was being mudo to Hnd
tlio bill for last year's assessment In the Third
ward the Globe loan und trust company pro
tested lu writing against culling the refund-
lug bonds to John Dale , as its bid meant f'U7
moro to tbo county.

There are 10. } branch pos tal telegraph

I have midu dlllgont inquiry concerning
the political Influence exerted by the govern
ment through , postal telegraph companies ,
but so far am unable to discover any in
terference or dictation on the part of
ofllolnls in high station to subordinates. At
Swansea the chief operator said : "I nm a
radical and several of my man are rads. If
the postmaster should try to coerce mo or any
of us we would soon make it hot and get an
Inquiry into the house of commons. Wo are
perfectly untrammeled in our political view * ,
but wo are not allowed to become agitators ,
or take a prominent load In political meet-
Inirs. " Similar assurance of IndcDondonco
from political pressure was given by the
manager ai Birmingham. In Paris I dis
cussed the political objections to the postal
telegraph with the director general of tele
graphs and citizens who are outside of
government Influence , and they all declare
tkat Mich a thing as tampering with dis
patches for political ends or coercion of em
ployes Is unknown. "Politically , " said Mr.
Mngno , "operators are as free as anybody.
They vote as they please. Nobody over In
terferes. They are not permitted to act ns
political agitators or to take prominent part In
public meetings. "
Mr. Magno said ho would go further if ho
could and divorce the sorvlco entirely from
politics by placing postal telegraph mon on u
footing with the array , which does not vote
in Franco. As to rates , revenue and expendi
ture , I must reserve .ay observations , In
vlow of the fact that this letter Is already ex

efforts of western senators and represenlA-
lives to Induce the president to select hit
successor from tno transmlssls.slpul country.
Under the law croutlne the Interstate commerce -

from an opposing political party to tbo ma
jority. The present members of tbo board
consist of three republicans , Messrs , Cooley ,
Voasto.v and ICniinp , nr.d omt democrat , Colonel
William H , Morrison. Judge Cooley 1
from Michigan , Veiuoy from Vermont ,
Knnpp from New Yorlt , and Morrison from
Illinois. Bragg was from Alabama , and of
course efforts will bo made to Induce tlift
president to appoint another son thorn man aa
his successor.
But. the vast territory west of the Missis-
slpl nnd extending to the Pacific eo.isl ban
never been represented on the board. Ills
argued with n great deal of force and much
Justice that this section Is fur moro extonslvo
in territory und rnllroud mileage than the
south and Its IntoroxUt are at least equally
Important.
The appointee will bo a democrat , wherever
ho may come from , and n strong pressure will
bo broiiKht to boar in favor of some one from
the Parltlc coast. The gient trouble will bo

from ono of the Washington papers nnd
which said that Assistant Secretary Crounse
had tried to resign because the appointment
of his ion as private secretary hud boon crit

lutely nothing in the stnry. Mr. Crounso ap
pointed his son temporarily because bo du-
sired to have by him n confidential man to
whom ho might entrust his private affairs
when necessary ; naturally ho did not want
an entire stranger to occupy this confidential
position and chose the young man whom ho
knew best.
There has been no misunderstanding what
ever between the two gentlemen , their rela

of the most cordial character' mid there is
every reason to bollovo that they continue so.
