State of Minnesota, county Of Mobiles,
S.: Auditors Office. Worthington,
MIMI, Jan. 16. 1888.-The board of
audit Of said county met pursuant to
published notice at 10 A.. NJ.
Members present-Danie Shell, chair.
man board of county commissioners; L.
B. Bennett, clerk of the district court,
and E. 5; Mills, county auditor.
The chairman stated that the said
board had been called together for the
especia; purpose of opening bids for
deposits, and for designating deposit
tary of public funds of said county for
two years from February l, 1885.
AS only one bid had been received,
an adjournment was ordered until 2
O'Clock P. NJ, same day.
The board met pursuant to adjourn
ment, all the members present.
Bids had been received and were
opened by the chairman as follows:
The Bank of Worthington proposed
to pay interest monthly on average bal
ances at the rate of At per cent. per an.
mum, and to furnish exchange free of
charge.
MOBILES County Bank proposed to pay
interest on such funds at the rate of 81
per cent. per aDnum.
Myths Bros. & Co., bankers, of
Adrian, proposed to pay interest on
said funds at the rate of per cent. per
annum.
James r. Jones & Co., bankers, at
Adrian, proposed to take on deposit
such portion of said funds as would
accommodate the western part of the
county, and to pay interest thereon at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on
average monthly balances, and expense
of transportation to Adrian.
The bid Of the Bank of Worthington
was found to be the best for the whole
amount of deposits. 1t was also found
that said proposal would be withdrawn
if accepted for only part of said de-
posits.
The board came to the conclusion
that eastern exchange free of charge
would accommodate all portions of the
county and the business generally, in a
way that would be more satisfactory to
the public than the proposed division of
funds. 1t was therefore ordered: That
the proposal of the said Bank of Wor-
Ellington be accepted, and that said
bank be designated as the depository Of
the public funds of said Mobiles county
when its bond, with sufficient sureties
legally executed in the penal sum of
10000, is deposited with the county
treasurer of said county, subject to ap-
prevail by legal authorities as required
by law, said bond to be so delivered to
the county treasurer on or before the
LIST Of February, 1886; the Bank of
Worthington to be notified that their
proposal has been accepted.
The proceedings of this meeting were
ordered published, also recorded in the
county commissioners record.

An Infamous System.
Philadelphia Record tInd,)

IHllhueiIIlld IttoIu tLnusJ
One of the potent causes lying at the bot
tom of the great strike in the ConnellsviIe
coke region is the infamous store order sys-
tenn by which the miners are robbed of their
Just wages. The Legislature of Pennsylvan-
ia has long recognized The injustice and de-
moralization Of this system, and more than
one law has been passed for its suppression,
but thus far without much success. The
failure is chiefly due to the inability of the
wage-earneIs in mines and workshops to
make eifctual resistance 1t is not enough
to keep down the wages to the lowest cash
rate, but the miners in the Conuellsville re-
gion, as in many others of this state, must be
Systematically robbed by payments in store
goods at large percentages above the market
prices. In order that this cold .blooded me-
thod Of plumber may be as effective as posi-
Bile payments Of wages are maie at long in
terYals. The miners are thus compelled to
take store orders in payment for the support
Of their families, and when payday arrives
their earnings are exhausted. Ignorant as
the imported Poles and Hungarians may be,
they know when they are cheated in the
prices Of commodities they are compelled
to take in exchange for their labor. The
mine operators and coke oven kings in the
| ConneIsville region have set the example Of
violating the laws of Pennsylvania, to which
they now appeal for protection, aud it is not
strange that the miners should improve upon
their instructions in lawbreakiug.

The Park Question.

The Brandywine Park question is not a
question-there is no question about the ne
cessty of it whatever. There can be simply
in the minds Of the citizens only some halt
ing as to the proper appraising ofthe land to
be bought. Let the attention of the citizens
be directly turned and focused upon those
admirable City Fathers Of ours that they be
not Jake Sharpe-ed into paying more for the
land than il is worth.
The sentiment of the people of Whining
ton is that the park be secured. That is a
foregone conclusion. We arc only curiously
interested, and pardonably SO, in the modus
ope, andi Of the purchase,
At this trying moment of the proposed
payment of an immense sum Of public mon
ey out of the municipal Golfers, our guilcles'
City Fathers sadly need the sympathy anc
solieitude Of kind hearted citizens.

Fofd's theatre was never played in after
that me morable night. Ten or twelve days
after the assassination Ford attempted to
open it, but Stanton prevented it, and the
government bought the theatre for 800, 900,
and converted it into medical museum.
Ford was southern sympathizer. He ran
two theatres until within few weeks, one
in Washington and one in Baltimore He
left Washington quite recently. Alison
NaylOr, the livery man who let Booth have
his horse still lives in Washington. Mai,
Rathbone, who was in the box with Lincoln
when he was shot, died within the last two
years. Stewart, the man who jumped on
the stage to follow Booth, and announced to
the audience that hehad escaped through the
alley died lately. Strange, but very few
persons can now be found who were at the
theatre that night Laura Keene died few
years ago.
Twenty-one years have passed since Lin
coin died, and his memory is even dearer
than in those first days of bereavement, when
the country mourned him and would not be
comforted. His life and character have
been serutinized, analysed and written about
more than any man Of the century, yet moth
ing has been discovered which lowered him
in the esteem of the people If ever dead
man lived, Lincoln lives. His strong and
simple character, his humble beginning, in
trinsic greatness. high achievements and ira
gic death have made a figure the like of which
has never been equaled in history. Dead
only in his mortal part, Abraham Lincoln
lives in his work forever.

MIR. Powderly.

All true friends Of the workingman read
with sincere satisfaction the report of Grand
Master Workman Powderlys convalescence.
How bright and assuring it is to hear
that the first words, or comment upon the
railroad strikes in the West made by this
genuine grand master workman is that "he
is confident that this will be the last rail
road strike in the United States
When man of Mr.. Powderly's gre 1t
prominence, sagacious conservatism, and
authority speaks in that way there is the
soundest reason for the workingman of
America to feel buoyed up with hope.
Such words as these bring back the conf
dence Of all people, which we feel was in
clined to take wing, in the {, siny and
cause Of the laboring man.
How Thomas Carlyle would have reioieed
to see this ! John Bright's old heart will
warm with qualification
And well this may bs Forii ever sagaci-
ty and wise counsel were needed at the criti-
cal moment of any great movement it is just
now.
1t is more desirable at this junoturc that
Mr. Powderly's health be restored to
him and that he be re-instated as active lead
er of the labor movement than the needs of
any other great public question be consun.
mated.
1t is a more pressing question and critica
a one to this country then that, for instance
of Home Rule to Ireland or Gladstones's sue
cess in the British political field is to the
people beyond the Atlantic. 1t is more i'm
portant to the citizens of the United State.
than any of our great public questions, thar
tariff or Civil Service, or the silver question
