the same manner as the workshop, being a
three story and basement brick building 81
by Is feet in size, and erected at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000. This building will be
specially adapted to the kind Of work its
name implies, in addition to which
rooms will be provided for CON
Quoting the tailoring business. On
motion of the managers the secretary
was instructed to advertise for bids for e1ca-
walton, stone masonry, brick, carpenter and
plastering work, together with the cost of
furnishing the same. In addition to the
improvements mentioned it is also proposed
to erect separate building for the express
purpose of manufacturing heat and steam to
drive the machinery and heat the other
buildings.
The last named building will be small and
comparatively inexpensive, the cost of its
erection being betrayed from the surplus
funds. Before the meeting adjourned it was
decided that the bids should be opened on
the 4th of next month, when the successful
bidder will be instructed to push the work to
rapid and early completion.

The Perils of Being an Offlceholder.

Yesterday Judge Nelson was engaged in
hearing case in which the United States
was claimant for $4,000, alleged to have
been taken by defaulting public officer. The
action has been pending for several years,
and George F. Potter, former receiver of
public moneys at Pembina in 1874, is the
alleged defaulter. His sureties are also made
parties to the suit, and embrace the follow
distinguished names:
Dorillus Morrison, Minneapolis; E. B.
Ames, r. j. Baldwin, W. s. King, and Sen
ator Bill Window, of colonization fame,
etc. glance at the names of the sureties
is an index of what the business may be.
The first named bondsman is now party to
suit in the courts in which it is alleged he
''trespassed'' several thousand dollars worth
of logs off government land. Bill King
everybody knows, and he and Bill Window
are alike famous.
Mr.. Billson, United States district attor-
ney, conducted the case for the government,
and Judge Flandrau and II. G. o. Morrison,
OF Minneapolis, urged the release of all re-
sponsibility for the defendants. The case
was argued at length, submitted and taken
under advisement by Judge Nelson.

SUGGESTION is made by a Canadian pa
per that has more of sense in it than those
usually found among advocates of Arctic ex-
plorations. 1t thinks the balloon can be
utilized for the purpose of finding the north
pole with very little cost and very little
danger. By pursuing the explorations to
the farthest possible point by means of ves-
sells and from that point continuing it by
aid of balloons, the writer thinks much valu-
able knowledge may be obtained, and some
man may yet be able to reach that Sgnis
tatuus of explorers, and hoist the British FLAG
upon the summit of the much talked-of but
never yet discovered pole. Those who are
ambitious of distinction ought to act upon
the suggestion.

a technical sense BECAUSE they are employed in
particular art, may be shown by the testi-
mony of experts in that art. Application of
this rule to the word ''raceway,'' as used to
designate a mode OF conducting water for
hydraulic purposes.
Consideration for the purpose Of this case Of
the effect in certificate endorsed upon stat
utory town plat by the maker thereof of the
words following, viz: ''reserving the right at
any future time of conducting the water, and
now the stream called Trout brook, through or
across any street or alley, or of flowing the
water of said creek over and across any street
or alley" Consideration of the effect in a
deed of a certain town out-lot of the following
words, viz: Saving and excepting the water
privilege of stream known as Trout brook, to
be carried through the said described lot as
aforesaid, in a raceway."
The finding of the court below that the word
sraceway," as here used, means an artificial
canal dug in the e8rth, Or channel cut in the
ground, held to be sustained by the evidence.
The owner of a town lot or out-lot suffers
peculiar damage by the obstruction of por-
ton Of a public street Immediately in front

action to remove or prevent such obstruction,
although the same may be public nuisance.

THE REBEL DEBT.

A Chicago organ of the stalwarts, which
parts its name in the middle, having ascer-
tanned that North Carolina idiot has sent a
confederate bond to the treasury for re-

passed providing for their payment, goes
into perfect agony of perspiration over the

piece of tomfoolery deliberate conspiracy
on the part of f'the Southern brigadiers' to
saddle the federal government with the debt
OF the confederacy, and fairly froths at the
mouth IN an agony of fear and rage. The
GLOBE can assure the prize damphool who
edits the organ in question, that he is need
lessly alarmed, and will direct his attention
to the fourth section of the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution, document
of the existence of which he is evidently
ignorant. This section declares that
"neither the United States nor any State
shall assume or pay any debt or obligation
incurred in aid of insurrectlon or rebellion
against the United States, or any claim
for the loss or emancipation OF
any slave; but all such debts, obligations and
claims shall be null and void" The fellow

By following the system heretofore in
vogue in the Senate of giving to each SEN
ator of the dominant party the choice of five
of the subordinate officers of that body, it is
found that the Northern States will secure
sixty of these officers and the Southern
States one hundred and fifty. The proper
ton granted to the South is large, but if the
Northern States are dissatisfied with it they
must make haste to add to their representa-
ton of Democrats in the Senate.

will stand by them. For some reason his

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.


The Republicans in Congress appear to be
afflicted sorely. They are in the condition Of
the boy who was bound to get the wood,
chuck, for the family was out of meat. They
are out of political capital, and have there
fore set about manufacturing some by an
endeavor to trap the Democrats, and in order
to accomplish their purpose they resort to
all sorts of expedients. First of all they
alton in favor of an immediate adjournment
as soon as the appropriation bills had been
disposed of, and without undertaking any
other legislation. The resolution was re-
jected, not because of disposition to pro-
long the session, but in order to avoid the
inconvenience of a previous commitment in
case an emergency should arise, and because
it was evidently the purpose of the Republi-
cans, in c ase the resolution was adopted, to
spring trap which would compel contin-
uance of the session beyond the limit des-
ignated, and thus force the Democrats to
bear the onus of resembling such action at a
later day in the session.
Again, political debate was sprung upon
the Senate without provocation when the
officers of that body came to be elected, and
the effort was made to commit some of the
Democratic Senators to the avowal of a. de-
termination to assail the title of Mr.. HAYES
to the Presidential Office. In this they again
failed, for aside from renewing their previous
declaration as to the Illegally of Mr.. Hayes
election, they refused to assert that any such
purpose would be entertained. On the con-
trary it was the general sentiment that the
evil would be endured until it cured itself at
the next election.
Once more the Republicans tried thei,
hand by the introduction of a series of reso-
lutions declaring the programme of Mr.
Beck, as formulated at the close of the last
session, unconstitutional and revolutionary
revolutionary, and furthermore was simply
the opinion of one man, the Democrats re-
fused to discuss the resolutions, and on Tues
day cut off all debate by an adjournment
It is probable that these resolutions will bt
rejected as beneath the dignity of body o.
intelligent men.
This, then, is the Republican programme
1t is to endeavor to stir up strife in the Dem
ocratic ranks, and by subterfuge to place the
party in a false light. It is possible that il
will DO partly successful for tho devices re
sorted to are shrewdly concocted, and manip
ulated very artfully. It therefore behoove:
our party friends to be watchful of ever,
movement that may be made. It is the der
nser resort of the disappearing party t,
entrap the party of the future into declara
| tons, either affirmative or negative, that d,
| not represent their deliberate opinions, ant
thus place them in false light before tn,
public. If discretion governs the Democ
racy, however, there is little to fear, and tn
Republicans, having gone out shearing, viii
come back shorn. They are desperate, an.
will resort to any trick, no matter how dis
reputable, to accomplish their purpose

The New York State law for the assessment
and collection " personal taxes IL singularly
defective. The New York papers published
u list o. millionaire paupers 10 that city,
some days ago. in which Il was shown that
such men a. John Jacob Astor, Vanderbilt
and others, according to their own asser-
lions. possessed scarcely any personal prop
srty at all. These cases are specimen ones.
Nobody cares to pay taxes on personal prop
erty nowadays, and there Is no way Of
making them do SO. The tax list OF New
York III le7a contained the names OF l6,62a
persons assessed for personal taxes, o. these
62l9 swore that they did not own any taxable
property, S505 paid no attention to the notices
sent to them, and only 1899, OK in T50 Of the
population, paid their personal taxes. Forty
years ago personal property ~ New York
paid one-fourth the taxes; to-day it pays
less than one-tenth. Ia the past six years
the assessed value OF personal property in
New York has decreased from S307,oo0o0o 70

has largely increased.
