Where viii They Begin.

1t is not yet known where the contractor
for lowering our water mains will COM
mence work, but we suggest that he com-
mence on Illinois street, and finish that as
quickly as possible, in order that the no
tets, printing offices, gas works, ETC.. etc.,
may be supplied. The large number Of
water takers on Illinois street demands
that they be first supplied, 80 that the reve
nues of the water works may not be cut of
FROM that strickland so that the princi
pal business part of the city may be pro
tected in case ot fire.
1t is said that the mains are not to be

Partisan Committees.

Speaking of the appointment of the Rock river
ferriage committee, in which the Mayor associated
with MIN none but Democrats, THE ARGUS ASSERTS
that''the late Republican mayor nsulted the Demo
Gratis several times in the same way last year" We
challenge THE ARGUS to cite single instance
Uni0R
All right. Look in the official proceed
ings of the goth of last June, and you will
find what you call for, as follows:
The Mayor appointed a committee on general
sewerage. Aldermen Butler and Davis.
Any more instances wanted? We pre-
sumo not. And we do not presume that
Mayor Gait had the slightest thought in
regard to the politics of the men when he
appointed them. And we are assured by
Mayor Davenport that the politics Of the
committee the Union complains of never
entered his head, until the Union set up
its whine about it.
But the Union stultifes itself 1t com.
plains when committee happens to be al
Democrats, and does not complain when il
happens to be all Republicans. At the
very first meeting after Mayor Davenport
was inaugurated he appointed Aldermen
Bailey and Woodruff to settle with MIR
Harper in regard to his taxes, rents, etc
Here is case where Mayor Davenport ap
pointed committee composed of all Re
publlcans to settle, with Republican, F.;
matter of great importance, not givin.
the Democrats chance to be heard. AnC
the Union did not find word of fault then
All of which shows that that paper is no
actuated by principle, and has no regart
for consistency in its present fault-inding
Of course neither Mayor Gait or Mayo
Davenport. in the cases alluded to, had
thought of the politics of the men,in eithe
case. But we hope, in future, that Mayo
Davenport will take pains to offer the chair
manship of every committee to the MAJ
who makes the motion for a committee
1t is supposed that, when man makes
motion for a committee he is prepared
take that position, and it is, by courtesy
always due to him. 1t is regarded as dis
courteous not to offer him the first plac
on committee for which he makes me
ton. And we hope, too. that Mayor Da,
EXPORT will always think to offer the Re
publicans representation on every con
mittee-that is proper, also, and will avoi

Reliance Observation-Disclosures, Wis.

Among the big foundries of this country,
and we may justly say the largest in the
West, is the Reliance Works, of Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, which is owned and oper-
ated by Edward p Allis & Co. The pro-
ducts of their great establishment find
their way into every place Of note in the
West. Among the important transac
tions of this frm is the furnishing of the
engines for the water works in Milwaukee,
which is one of the finest jobs OF the kind
in the country, and which did much to-
wards establishing their reputation as
manufacturers of superior engines. as vel
as their ability to compete with any manu-
facturer in the country. They also do 6
large business as mill builders and furnish
ers and in general machinery. so much 81
that they find it necessary to publish an IL
Illustrated catalogue of machinery of III
pages which they send free on application
Another important item, showing thu
magnitude of these works, is the fact tina
during the last year they have put undo
ground in the shape of iron, water and ga
pipes over $4,000 tons of iron. The work
of this company cover about six acres o
ground and give employment to 400 to so
men the year round, while their MONTH,
pay roll aggregates the princely sum
about $685. 200. From this it will be see
> these works are counted among the mos
i'm portant industries Of the state. Mi
waukee may well be proud of this estat
lishment and of the energy and enterpris
of the gentlemen who compose the firm.

City Council Meeting.

On Saturday evening the city council
directed the mayor and clerk to sign the
contract for lowering the water mains /;
and ordered a temporary trestle bridge II
feet wide erected to connect with that part
of the bridge still standing. Also directed
the mayor to advertise for proposals to re-
build the bridge in two equal spans. As
some people think it would be best to build
an iron bridge, we suggest that proposals
for wood and for iron be invited. We
shall then know the difference in cost and
the council can choose between the two.
Bills to the amount of S.. 1868 IS were
allowed.
