Hennenin Canal Defeated Again.

In the closing hours of congress the
Hennepin Canal was tackled on to the riy-
err and harbor bill. A separate vote was
demanded on it, which resulted in % for
and II against. This made committee
of conference on the river and harbor bill,
between the two house, necessary, and IN
that conference the houses portion of the
commit zee refused to agree to the Henne-
nepin canal--and so it failed.
1t will be in order now for the Gazette
and the Union, and several Republican
papers in this district, to explain why
Republican committee killed the bill Las
fall these papers told US that the Republi
cans had the power to pass it. The he
publicans having killed it, explanations ART

The Black Hawk-Coal Valley I'm
brog1io.


The Union makes very awkward Ell
fort to get down and out Of its blunder-
ing article about the Coal Valley Black
Hawk question. No petition was presented
to the board of supervisors on that ques-
ton last September. The ARGUS made a
correct statement of that matter yesterday.
If the Union had published the article
headed ''Dismembering Township
Questionable Legality of the Annexation
of a Part Of Coal Valley to Black Hawk"
which appears in its issue this mornings as
DR.. Jacobs furnished it there would have
been more sense in it than as it is publish
ed. Instead of doing so, the Union un
dertook to doctor the article and has placed
the patient in such position that perhap:
even DR.. Jacobs cannot rescue the sui.
Iferer
| The fact is that DR.. Jacobs did not offel
the 1emonstrance before the board unit
after the order changing the line wa
passed-nor was it read before the boar(
until after the line had been changed; no
was it ever referred to committee at all
But the subject was called up again, at
forwards. and it was agreed to hear tn
remonstrance and consider it on record o
on file. We rather guess the DIR. was nc
quite watchful enough in relation to tn
matter-though it would probably hay
made no difference in the result.
DIR. Jacobs claims that the petition ask
ing for a change of township lines does ne
bear the necessary number of legal voter
; of the territory How that is we cannt
/ say, If those who are dissatisfied wish
!; carry that question before the courts the
s have, of course, right to do so. 1t
hardly probable that the board of supe
visors will take any further action upon Il
matter,
