How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great Improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar inn
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit
To test the superiority of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Christmas mt the City Hotel.

The most pleasant affair that has
taken place in this city for century
gone by was rendered in behalf Of
the newly married couple Mr..
Michael Ryan and Johannah Haley
on Wednesday evening, Dec. 26,
1883, at the City Hotel by the cour-
teous landlord and landlady Mr..
and Mrs. Mark Terrill. At s o'clock
in the evening Smiths string band
took their position on the stage and
played the tune Haste to the We'd
ding" to the lively strains of whic h
the wedding guests danced in grand
style. The reception rendered Mr..
and Mrs. Casper Miller, of st. Paul,
convinced Gas that his old friends
have not forgotten him. The sup
per presented by Mr.. and Mrs.
Terrill for this occasion was unequal
led in quality and quantity, the
great abundance saying as plain as
words: You are welcomed make
yourselves at home, The tables
were most tastely arranged and the
landlord and lady deserve the
highest praise for their asidu
Gus care in attending to the wants
of the guests. Great praise is also
due to the gentlemen who had the
management for their untiring exer-
tons to make all happy and COM
Portable. To conclude the enter
tainment Mr.. Terrill danced the
Highland fling in such an artistic
manner as to draw the hearty APP
plause of all. The hall was deco
rated tastefully with evergreens. The
wedding gifts were numerous and
costly.

OPEN LETTER TO A. MARQUES.

My object in answering your COM
munications, is that if left alone,
you might influence some one person,
against the gas enterprise and it
should be known, that anyone op-
posing it, if they have not a direct
personal motive in so doing, perhaps
has friend who has. The organiza-
ton of the gas company will be local,
with local directors. When per-
fected any person in this city will
have the privilege of becoming one
of the stockholders and consequently
one of those monopolists you so
fearfully dread. There is not a civil
lized city in the world, to my know
ledge, as large as this, not lighted
with gas, and the gentleman who
says it is not a public benefit, to
say the least is very narrow minded.
In addition to the future benefits to
be derived by the citizens, a good
light, and cheap fuel for cooking,
the building of gas works will put
at least 100000 in circulation, give
employment to hundreds of men,
and furnish so much more taxable
property in the city. You say it
would be impossible for the Govern
ment to adopt any other mode of
lighting without buying out the gas
company. This is ridiculous. The
gas franchise, interferes with no
other mode of lighting, and as cleo
tricity strikes you so favorably, l
quote from the SANITARY Engineer
published in New York and London,
of May lst, 1884. "An agreement
had been made by the British Elec-
trio Light Co., to furnish the Man
chester Royal Exchange with electric
light at the same rate as they had
previously paid for gas; but it was
subsequently found impossible for
the company to further supply the
Exchange, at even twice the price as
the cost Of gas, though the electric
company offered the use of their
plant at the same time they fur
nished figures, that showed the cost
of producing the electric light was
some six times greater than the cost
of gas

ARE CHARTERED M0NOP0LIEs JUSTI-
FABLE.

AS a rule, No. In exceptional
cases, yes. If a proposed enterprise
is sure of success, or its chances are
good, an exclusive franchise should
not be granted. If however, pro-
posed enterprise is one which will be
public benefit, but there is so much
risk and uncertainty about it's being
paying investment that capital will
not be forth coming unless there are
extra inducements offered, then it is
proper to grant an exclusive fran
chise for a period of years, in order
to encourage capital to take risk
which it would otherwise decline TO
do.
An exclusive franchise is proper
then, when by granting it, the public
will receive benefit which they
would otherwise not receive.

up of the streets, etc. The same
authority, under date of April 17th,
1884, says ''rhc DAILY bill requiring
all electric wires in New York City
and Brooklyn to he put underground
before November 1885, has been
passed by the New York Senate. "
That requires, the digging up of
the streets, and many reasons can
be given for the action of the N. Y.
Senate. l have practical informa-
ton that will be given, at the proper
place and time, on the subject, and
am only sorry that the practical
schemers against the gas proposition
do not take the same channel instead
of rushing into print.

EDITOR BULLETIN: Yesterday

EDITOR BULLETIN: - Yesterdays
AdUefIiSer refers to the British Colo
NAL practice of depositing public
funds in note issuing banks; admit
ted. Will the writer name a govern
ment which selects u trading COM
pany in preference to n legitimate
bank. Will he name Colonial Gov
ernment which shows a practiality
for one bank; only remember one
in Colonial experience of 20 years
and that ended in disaster.
The Queensland National Bank
started about 1860 with English
capital, promising brilliant things for
Eastern Australia, with Govern
ment guarantee on its circulating
notes in exchange for the purchase
of government bonds. The result
was a sudden advance in the price
of land which having reached an
abnormal figure, the artificial bubble
burst, government bonds and bank
notes were sold at nominal figures
far below par-and every one lost
but the large shareholders and the
wealthy knowing ones who bought
up their own notes, which the gov
ernment were bound to redeem at
their face value in gold, But there
the government had a reserve of
territory amounting to over 100000
square miles to sell, grand asset
for q National Bank.
1t was a lesson about putting all
the government eggs in one basket.
Colonial banks must send sworn
returns quarterly or monthly TO the
government, and cause the same to
be posted and published so that the
public may know their position.
The Australian Governments never
borrow from local banks, they simply
deposit for safety and for profit,
the large sums remaining unused
chiefly from the sale of public lands
and unused loans. In this respect
governments are in the same posi-
ton as private person, and all
banks must conform to common
Act. Hawaii can never safely adopt
the Colonial note issuing system.
even under the same restrictions.
