Jndiar.apol.9, Oct. race war between the Irish bungaloo gang and the "Bucktown Beavers" furnished as much excitement Wednesday for the police as the election Tuesday, Early in the evening all the colored boys under 17 from "Bucktown" assembled on Monument place for the purpose of marching against the Irish bungaloos, who had thrashed several of the "Beavers" in Gamblers' alley Tuesday night. The beavers resented the charge that they were nil for Taggart in the election, and in Tuesday night's fight several of the youngsters were badly used up. "Wednesday night, when the Bucktown gang assembled at the monument, they all carried clubs and barrel staves with nails in the end. With a yell that attracted the police the beavers started for Gamblers' alley, where they expected to find the bunga- loos.

The iftsb. boys had received warning and retreated to the State Bouse park, where they awaited' the they saw theBucktown army coming- they rushed out and met them in JLront of the Park theater. infuriated youngsters canfe together with a crash. The air was full of clubs ar.d yells. The police were a trifle late, but arrived in time to stop the battle before rmieh damage was done.

The bungaloos FUffered most in the assault. OFFICIAL COVNT AT INDIANAPOLIS. Han 3,814 Candidate Unpopular. Indianapolis, Oct. the official count on the city election Tuesday Mayor Taggart, Democrat, received a plurality of 3.SH, which exceeds his plurality two years ago by ninety-two votes.

The total vote for mayor follows: Taggart 20,005: Harding 16,191: Smith 464; White (Free Silver), 256; Wilson More (Socialist), 153; total vote 37.403: Taggarfs plurality, 3.S14. For city clerk: Struckmeyer 1S.93S; Hays Struckmeyer's plurality, 2,223. For city judge: Cox 1S.57S; Stubbs 17,205: Cox's plurality. 1.36$. The fact that Harding, at the head of the Republican ticket, was beaten by 2,500 more votes than Stubbs for city judge, shows how unpopular was the Republican candidate for mayor.

The Pemocratsi elected seventeen out of the twenty-one councilmen voted for. The total vote- is 6.000 more than two years ago. which just about accounts for the vote in the newly annexed suburbs. The vote Is still T.OOO short of the city vote last November. The negro vote, nearly 5,000, was practically all cast for Taggart, Republicans falling tc control the" colored voter with their usual success.

Gallaher. The Church and Labor. Rev. W. H.

Carwardine, ie. the Adams street M. E. church. Chicago, last Sunday evening, said: "It has been charged that the church is not as near to the masses as it should be.

This is not true. The Christian church desires to draw near to the people. If there be any truth in the charge it may be because we as clergymen do not deal enough with the practical application of the Word of God to these social problems. We are hampered sometimes by our environments. It is not.

alwavs an. lor the preacher to deal in unvarnished terms with the relation of employer to employe. Sad is the condition of any church whose minis-try must needs hesitate to speak its convictions for fear of the powers that be. No church ought to keep nearer to the people than thfc denomination which you and I represent to-night. John Wesley's greal: work was among the miners of England, and to-day I believe that the great heart of our church is in sympathy with the just demands of the miners of this country now engaged in a struggle for bread and life.

I wish we had more operators like W. P. Rend and fewer like De Armit. "The nation that disregards its labor element is like the man who draws the keen razor across his own throat. Our times are 'serious.

No thoughtful student can regard the ominous discontent and the thunders of social unrest without trembling for the future of his country. The United States of 1897 is a very different land in its tendencies and environments to the United States of 1864 and the colonies ol 17T6. The greatest problem before us is the industrial right of a. man a fair wage for a fair day's work. country can endure long with labor and capital clutching'at each other's throat in mortal combat.

I have been amazed at times to hear good men speak of revolution and to note such expressions coming fron pulpit and press. Bui: I do not wonder at it when reflect upon the disgraceful scenes enacted our late legislature, the puerile weakness of our governor and the fearful greed of ungodly monopoly. The danger in this country is not be- t-ween the wage earner and the moderately wealthy or middle class, but between the wage earner and the corporations and individuals who control vast wealth." and statement shall be induced for inspection on, demand mads by any factory inspector appointed under tills act" By amendment the word "sworn" was inserted, which makes it compulsory for the parent or guardian to take oath before either the city factory inspectors or a notary public. It is the opinion that this will prevent false statements being made, as in the past, when the statement did not have to be sworn to. The section of the laws creating the bureau 'of labor, relative to examining witnesses, as amended, will be of greater efficiency than heretofore, besides facilitating the work of factory inspectors in their investigation of alleged violation of the law.

The amended section reads as follows: "Such bureau, or any member thereof, shall have full power to examine witnesses on oath, compel the attendance of witnesses, the giving of testimony and the production of papers, while acting in any part of this state. and witnesses may be summoned by such bureau, or any member thereof, by its process in the same manner and paid the same fees as are allowed to witnesses attending in the circuit court of any county.

Pontnl Savlnpi At last there are indications that the people of the United States are awakening to the importance of the establishment of postal savings bants. It has taken a long while lor them to realize that it was the duty of the government to provide an absolutely safe depository for the savings of the common people, such a depository, for instance, as the people of Great Britain and many of her colonies have so long enjoyed. Much speculation is being indulged in as to what attitude the banking interests cf the country would be likely to take i a regard to this matter when it is brought before congress. Perhaps the proper thing to do would be to ignore the banking interests in the consideration of a question of this kind.

This would be impossible. It should be borne in mind, however, that this agitation for the estabishment of postal savings banks is due wholly to the Instability and unsound nature of the private savings banks, where the people in the past have been in the lia'oit of placing their money, and where so much of it bas been irrevocably lost. We have nothing at hand to show the amount of money which has been swallowed up by unsafe and dishonestly-conducted savings banks, but the totals must be something dreadful to contemplate when it is remembered that in many cases the money lost represented the life savings of a poorly-paid mechanic or laborer.

Idtir Affecting: Child From the Detroit Free Press: For the past few years Michigan laws relative to the employment and protection of women, young persons and children have been utterly ignored by many employers in the large cities and also by parents aEd guardians of the youth at work.

Although the matter has not just now come to light, yet the first decisive steps have been taken, this year toward the correction of the offenders of these laws. Section 2 of the state laws governing factory inspection, which relates to the age of children employed, says: "It shall be unlawful for any mann- lactnring establishment to hire or employ any child under the age of sixteen years without there la first jpitmded and placed on file a (sworn) statement la writing made by the parent or guardian, stating the age, date and of birth, of said child.
