HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engrav-
ing and polishing, large proportion of
the precious metal used, is needed only
to stiffen and hold the engraved portions
in place, and supply the necessary solidisy
and strength. The surplus gold IS actu-
ally needless so far as UTILITY and beauty
are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PA
TENT GOLD WATCH CASES. this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome,
and the SAME sOL1D1TY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one-third - 0ne.halt
of the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature, as
follows: a plate of nickle composition,
metal, especially adapted to the purpose,
has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered
one on each side. The three are then pass
ed between polished steel rollers, ana the
result is strip of heavy plated compo-
sition, from which the cases, backs aud
centres, beZeIs, &C., are cut and shaped
by suitable dies and formers. The gold
in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
nit of all kinds OF chasing, engraving
and enamelling; the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the
gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

The ST. Paul Globe agrees with our
views, when, after congratulating the
people of Minnesota upon almost the
unanimous adoption of the constitutional
amendment limiting railroad aid to 5
per cent. Of the assessed valuation OF

see why the author Of the amendment
restricted it to such narrow limits There
are other public Improvements which
the legislature is constantly authorizing
the towns and cities to make that are
quite as burdcnsome to the taxpayers as
the bonds issued in aid OF railroads.
These should be interdicted as emphati-
cally as are the railroad bonds, and no
corporation, county or municipal, should
be permitted to run in debt, for any aud
all purposes, to AN extent greater than
five per cent. OF the value of the taxable

cast for state officers, and for Judge in

The canyassing board consists, as provl-
ded by the State constitution, Of the Sec
Rotary Of state, two or more judges of
the supreme court, and two disinterested
judges of the district courts Of the State
As organized Saturday, IN addition to the
Hon. J. 8. 1rgens, secretary of state, the
canvassing board was made up of Chief
Justice Gildllan and Justice Berry, Of the
supreme court; Judge H. r. Brill, Of the
Ramsey county district court; Judge A.
II. Young, of the Hennepin county dis
trio. court. Mr.. E. P. Barnum, the Dem.
ocratlc candidate for ut.-Governor'
entered a formal protest against the
counting of any votes cast for Mr.. Gilman,
the Republican candidate, "for the reason
that he had previously been elected a
1nemUeI VI TUG Muse Ot representatives
in the legislature Of this Slate, and the
time for which he Was so elected had
not expired at the time he was so voted
for for the Office OF lieutenant governor,
and will not expire until the 31st day of
December, $780," and he is, therefore,
cons,itutiena!ly "inelig;ble and disqual:-
fed 10 Ill said Office of lieutenant gov
ernor." The board decided, after brief
discussion, that its duties were simply
miniaterial, and not judicial, but Mr..
Barnum's protest was placed on file
with the returns. 1t is very likely this
question may come before the courts for
adjudication. We hope so, as it is 4
matter OF importance, and We believe the
constitution has been, at least, twice
violated IN this respect-once in the case
Of Dunnell, and again in the case Of
