decision has Just been rendered IN the
Supreme Court at Albany which is OF interest
not only to all lawyers but also to taxpayers
in towns which have issued bonds to AID I'D the
construction of railways. The undue ambl-
ton of villages and hamlets for more railroad
facilities than they could afford has led to end
less trouble. Some towns have nearly beg
CARED themselves by the load OF debt when
they have assumed i'll this way, and are sitting
in sackcloth and ashes to-day bewalllng their
folly. while. others, more enterprsing and less
scrupulous, have tried by every trick and de-
vice short of absolute reputation to cheat their
creditors The decision referred to brings out
prominently the radical disagreement OF the
Conrt of Appeals and the United States SUI
preme Court in regard to some OF these cases
For instance, the Court of Appeals has decided
that certain railway bonds issued by the town
of Thomson, Sullivan County, are Invalid,
while the Supreme Court of the United States
has declared them valid. The town sought by
an Injunction Obtained in a State court to
prevent bondhoder from suing on his bonds
in United States court. To the lay mind TINS
seems an unusually impudent proceeding. 1t
has been checked at Albany. and public OPINION
outside the town of Thompson will be likely to
welcome the check. Whether il he III MIN
nesota or New-Y York, attempts by communities
to evade by litigation and technicalitles the
payment of their debts ought to be trowned
upon. The town of Thompson has had It's
dance the piper should be paid.

Solomon's Wisdom Outdone.

A careful pcrusal of some Of the ordi.
nances passed by the Common Council
of this city in its early days is beyond
the comprehension of any ordinary
mind, but the fact dawns upon the
imagination that while the wise Solons
of those days meant great deal, their
official acts prove simply nothing. For
instance, Ordinance No. 4, reads:
No horse, mule, ass, goat, sheep,
swine, poultry nor any cattle shalt he
allowed to run at large in the city at
any time
PROVIDED, that nothing in this Sec
ton shall be So construed as to prevent
eors running at large from 8 O'Clock a.
m. until 0 o'clock p. m
Now this is what we call, in the
aesthetic language of Oscar Wilde, '.too
utterly utter They first say that no
cattle shall run at large. then probably
in sympathy with the poor lonesome
bovines, they at once proceed to miti-
gate the penalty imposed, by saying
the cows may run at large from 6 u. M,
to 9 p. m, which affords them ample
time to break down the young trees
and shrubbery the prudent husbandman
has so carefully set out; break down the
fences and destroy the garden struck"
so zealously tended, and break the side
walks which ornament the city. The
ordinance means nothing as it now
stands, and should be either amended
or stricken from the books. There are
other similar ordinances which are a
dead letter because not enforced. In
fact, the entire grist Of city laws should
be revised, compiled and republished.

1878, an ordinance number 2S) was

proved by the Mayor, j. J. Thomson,
granting to DR.. W. f. Lewis, J. c. Wise,

Frisbie, s. F. Barney and Chas. N.
Nash, the right to manufacture and sell
gas in the city of Mankato for period
Of forty years, and which stands I'M
repealed to this date. One section pro-
vides that if the city at the expiration
of the forty years, shall desire to pur-
chase the franchise and gas works Of
the corporation they will have the
privilege to do so at their actual valua-
alton, and if the city does not desire to
purchase it, then the above privileges
shall be extended twenty years longer.
We also find further on, in May, 1874,
that the same privileges were allowed
to A. c. Rand, II. w. Brown and Chas.
II. Nash. Still further on, in Septem-
Der. 1877, similar privileges were grant

noon. Owing 10 the change in the
length of the courses from two and
three to three and four years, now being
made, the graduating class consists this
year of only five members. Others who
might have finished the old courses this
spring and graduated have preferred to
remain another year, and finish under
the new auspices. The class Of next
year will probably be the largest and
best prepared since the opening Of
the school. 1t is hoped that their
exercises may take place
in new Opera House.

Food for Reflection.

Editors Naskafo Free Press:
Since the publication of my previous
communication on our water supply, |
have been agreeably surprised at the very
general sentiment in favor of the plan
there recommended. have had occa-
sion to answer many questions in relation
to items of cost, etc. have therefore
prepared the following approximate
estimate, that our people may know
something oil the cost Of the proposed
improvement. In my opinion, the bet.
ter way to utilize the well on Bunker hill
is to drift in from the side of the bluff, ut
point az near rs possible to the we'll and
below the level Of the water, and pump
from this tunnel to reservoir on the
hill. am told that this can he done
with only 100 feet to excavate, and this
would settle at once the yield of the
well before mourning further expense.

that country of No. l wheat and peren-

At the Jail.

A visit to the Jail and Sheriff's office
yesterday. found an air Of neatness
prevailing everywhere. Down in the
lower tier of cells are the prisoners, FIVE
IN number at present, among whom
observed the three young men who are
committed upon the charge of attempt
ing to burglarize Mr.. F. Busch's safe last
week. They are all bright, intelligent
bays, possessing capabilities which, if
turned to good account, would iuure
greatly to their benefit. They were
cheerful without thought apparently,
of what their fate may he. They main.
tain Of course, their innocence of the
charge, but what little evidence there
is against them is probably sufficient 10

judgment in tracking and arres,ing
them. Two of them were overtaken ON
the Sioux City track about en- miles
south Of MinneOpa Falls by Sheriff
Monks and the third was captured at

son. They gave their names ~ James
Ed. Clark and Frank Fulljames

Fulljames is 80 years old, of light
complexion, grey eyes, weighs about
80 pounds and measures feet ilH
