alleged IrEecOpcIIRbIe Provisions Re
gREdInG the OmcCs.


When the new Board Of Commissioners
on Monday laat a gentleman, sup.
posed to be very astute put hopping in
sect in the reporters ear fguratively
speaking,-in relation to the difficulty
Justice schultza would have in reconciliug
his position as q Justice OF the Peace and
Commissioner with the provision contain
ed in the thIrtieth section Of article eight
OF the amendment to the constitution,
which expressly Gays: "Ths office Of Com.
missioner and Justice OF the Peace shall
be deemed incompatible" When this
was shown the reporter he at once thought
that the good.natured Kaiser would have
to bid farewell to one OF the offices and
wipe his weeping eyes as he stepped down
and out TO Craze on other pastures and
gresner fields.
The Board, however, took no cogniE.
anCe Of this alleged momentous fact, and
an item which promised 10 be " big with
the fate OF Gear" suddenly passed into
the Insignificant past, and the sway OF the
redoubteble Kaiser remained undisturbed,
aud his throne, on which he sat with
better grace than Rome on her seven
hills, unshRken. But there must be o rea.
son for everything, Cosmic philosophy
teaches that. The language quoted above
was certainly in the amendment, and
wherefore was it not enforced What
annulled its effect in this Instance?
Light waa let in on the daTkenGd under.
standing OF the reporter by q few moments
conversation with Prosecuting Attorney
Jordan, yesterday, and the apparent ire
ConCilible facts adjusted 10 our satistac'
ton. The twenty. fourth section Of arti'
Gle eight OF the amendment to tho consii.
tuition, contains the following language;
Such tribunals as have been heretofore
established by the Legislature, under and
by virtue OF the thirty fourth section of The
eighth article of Me constitution of 1872, for
police and fiscal purposes, shall, until 9TH
erwise provided by law, remain and con-
time a. at present constituted in the Coun-
ties in which they have been respectively
established, and shall DO and net 8s 10
police and fiscal matters in lieu OF the
County Court created by this article until
otherwise provided by law"
This does not settle the difficulty raised
by the provision in the amendment DEEM
ing the office Of commissioner and justice
incompatible, but it establishes the fact
that tho Board OF Commissioners is u
legal body, and provides for it's Contin'
uance. But the Constitution Of 1872, sec.
ton five, chapter q, Of the acts Of 1872 3,
in relation In the matter with equal force
says: "lhe Office OF Commissioners and
Justice Of the Peace shall not be deemed
incompatible" Thus 1t will be seen that
Justice SchultSe holds his seat with as
much security as any other member Of the
board; and that he can continue to do 80
"until otherwise provided by law" Just
go, Judge!

also the progress Of their s!temptu to Sc

for coal mining, Tho price heretofore
has been two cents per bushCl,
which, until worry lately, has been
considered very fair compensation.
On account of the intense GOODNESS,
and the unprecedented demand for coal
the peddling bank operators concluded to
give tho advanCe-st least a majority oil
them did.
The operators OF the mills, however,
were not so accommodating, and when the
time came iorCarryingthe resolution into
effect, the miners were allowed to come
out, aud from present indications they
will stay out.
A reporter Of this paper called in at sew.
eral OF the offices oithe important mills In
the city esterhsy afternoon, to ascertain
what had been done and what was pros.
peCtive.
At the Riverside Office, on Main street,
one oil the Company's officers was found,
and to ii inquiries about their inten'

day and will stay out. We have no idea
OF giving the advance. Our bar mill will
DO kept going. We will buy coal for this
purpose. We employ 80 miners, and %
or 80 other men about our banks. There
are about 7l6 men at work with us.
An officer Of the Belmont mill said they
employed forty miners, and nearly that
many other men as help around the bank.
1--WE have no disposition to acCede 10 the
demands and will stay closed down."
The BonwoOd mill will not pay the ad.

about the bank. The strike will throw At

The Top mill has forty or fifty men at

At the La Belle mill there Is no dispo.
