ing OF Sunday.
The bases of the saloonkeepers, against
whom complaints for keeping open on Sun
day have been made by the agent for the Law
and Order league will be called in the po-
lice court to-day. 1t is not expected that
any of the cases will be tried at the pres
ent time, as continuance will be asked for
and will be probably granted. An in
formal meeting of saloon men was held at
the Merchants hotel yesterday afternoon
to consider the advisability of forming an
association as against the Law and o rider
league. About score of those interested
attended the meeting, and while the bust
ness transacted was not given out, it is
known that the question of raising fund
and fighting the cases brought against sa-
loon men for keeping open Oh Sunday,
was discussed. Further than this nothing was
done except to appoint committee to col
lect funds and engage al attorney. Several
of those present when seen last night said
the movement was a political one, and was
brought about by the Republican politicians
to further their interests in the fail CAM
paign., Others were of the opinion that it
was the high license men who were pushing
the complaints. A prominent saloonkeeper
on Wabasha street said the saloons had
been allowed to open on Sunday, although
the front doors were always closed, without
police interference. and he thought it was
carrying the thing too far to have hired spies
from Minneapolis and Chicago come here
and commence prosecutions. The saloon
men intend, at least so they claim. to make
test case OF the issue, and carry the mat
ter to the supreme court to decide the con-

yesterday in the mandamus case Of B. w.
Armstrong against John w. Roche, city
comptroller. Armstrong, who acted as secre-

June, 1884, put in claim for services rem
dered to the council in September for S766.25.
which was allowed by that body, The comp

ground that the Office of secretary TO the
mayor had not been created by the council,
and consequently he could not pay for the
salary of any such official Armstrong Sc
cured writ of mandamus in September last,
setting up the claim that as he had rendered
his services for year and the council had
recognized them he was entitled to compen-

Increasing the Variation.

The board of equalization was in session
yesterday and considered the valuation of
realty as returned by the deputy assessor in
the Seventh ward. The assessor who did the
work is a resident of the ward and was Sc
lected because of his apparent fitness for the
work. From his returns, however, the board
decided that he has heard the property own
ers in that section complain so bitterly of the
high taxes they have paid since the territory
was taken into the city that it warped his
Judgment as to the correct values of realty
In consequence the valuation of nearly all
the real property assessed except in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the transfer, is being
raised from 20 to 100 per cent.

Col. Plat II. Walker Talks of Min
nesota's Share in the River and
HarbOr Bill. ?
Col. Plalt B. Walker was in st. Paul and
was asked by GLOBE reporter if the
Northwest. and Minnesota in particular.
had Jared well at the hands of the United
States congress in the river and harbor bill.
He believed that this state had not secured
all that it should have had, and spoke
among other things of half million of dol
lars needed for the reservoirs on the upper
Mississippi. Col. Walker was asked why,
in his opinion. this had not been secured,
and in reply he took occasion to use some
vigorous words on the action of the Mime
sofa delegation in congress and the stand
taken by some of the newspapers.
eff you strike man hard from the Shout
der" said he, The will be very apt to strike
back. That this state did not get larger
slice in the river and harbor bill is due some
what to the position of the Minnesota delega-
ton on the Hennepin canal. 1t is utter folly
for little MinneSota-and / mean little in q
political sense-to try to fight Illinois, Iowa,
part of Missouri and part of Wisconsin. This
is what was done. For years the people of
this state, in many towns and cities, have
talked favorably to the canal. 1t is but few
years since delegates were sent by the boards
OF trade from every important town in the
state to a convention at Davenport, at
which they voted, with few. if any,
exceptions, in favor of this canal.
At the last waterways convention
the canal was favored. Now, whenever it
comes to an issue certain papers in the two
cities come out with big editorials against the
scheme. Congressman Gilfllan at the very
beginning of his political career in Washing
ton, allows himself to be quoted as saying that
he regards the whole Hennepin canal scheme
as one big steal. Now, suppose 1 go to Wash
ingtou to work for appropriations to improve
the Minnesota waterways. Some member of
the Illinois delegation there asks if I am in
favor of the Hennepin canal. 1 say that 1 am,
ana he at once flashes the opinions of the
state press and the interview with the con-
gresham from my district in my face and
says, consistency thou art a jewel" What
can l say in the face of this? I believe that
the papers of this state are in good degree
responsible for the size of the appropriations.
Representatives of this state have been fight
ing the friends of the canal and they square
themselves on the first opportunity. If it had
not been for this we might have had q half
million more for our reservoirs.
