so much money put IN man holes and in
the pumping station. Before discussing
the matter very long he would do
with half the man holes and the pumping
station.
Pratt desired to know from city engin-
GERS if it is possible to have good sewer
age with such specifications? The city
ennineer was absent owing to sickness and
could not snswer.
The city engineer at this time
suggested that the proper time for changes
would be after bids are open.
Buckridge moved to indefinitely post
pone the motion and suggested itnight be
again introduced at the proper time.
The postponing motion carried, wit n
Healy and English in the negative.
The curb and guttering question was
introduced and bid of G. NJ. Lumption
considered which offered to put down
cement costing from sL70to $500 per foot.
The contract was both sides Of Douglas
from Main to Fifth: west side Market from
first to Douglas; south side Douglas from
Main to Water.
1t was moved that engineers per cent. be
striker out as well as the price of filling
sixteen cents per yard.
The city attorney said duty of city to
pay filing and engineer to pay off OF priv
ate property.
The motion showed tie vote and the
mayor declared it lost. Healy said 1t
would cause trouble.
A resolution adopting Mr.. Lumptions
bid was passed.
Slower moved fees for city engineer be
struck off. The vote showed all IN the af-
frmative except Healy.
The filling cost was also can
eeled and Pratt moved old
gutter be allowed to remain IN and old
curb taken out. Motion carried.
1t was finally decided that twenty-five
cents.a lot be allowed for engineering.
At this moment the Second ward tried
to steal way but failed to get the scheme
through.
The engineer twenty-five cents per foot
cost was recansidered and one cent per
foot allowed
The meeting was thought to be dis
tinguished more for hum and having"
rather than business. No personal sings
but a general indebtedness and walking
around seemingly in the dark.

He VIII Doctor His Vows.

The republican newspapers which allude
to Mr.. Blaine's remarks on trusts handle
the subject very gingerly. by far the
greater number Of them maintain a deep
and oppressive silence. The Hartford
Courant, which is owned by Senator Haw-
lev, probably gives expression to the hopes
of all of them when it says that Mr. Blaine
will doctor his views SO as to put himself in
accord with his party platform. Almost TO
man the republican campaign man
ayers likewise are significantly silont
with regard to the subject. Chair
man Quay refuses to talk, but allows a
sickly smile to overspread his countennnce
while attempting to treat the matter in a
flppant way. Secretary Fassett is holder
than the rest. He says Mr.. Blaine's view
is not at variance with that expressed in the
republican platform, because Mr.. Blaine
was literally right in saying that neither
President Cleveland nor the people have
the right to interfere with trusts. Con-
ciess alone, he thinks, has that right.
This is puerile, and Mr.. Fassett ought to
know that it won't hold water. He prob
ably thought that the gravity of the situa-
ton required that he should say something,
but in the absence of even an excuse for
Mr.. Blaine's defense of trusts he falls into
pure drivel.
Mr. Fassett's defense of Mr.. Blaine Is an
exceedingly lame one. Mr.. Blaine meant
and he virtually said that there should be
no legislation against trusts No doubt he
uttered this opinion deliberately. He has
always leaned to monopolies and combina-
tons, ard he does now. They are powerful
and have money to back them, and proba-
bly, Mr.. Blaine thought it would be more
profitable for his party to enlist their favor
than that of the people whom they rob. He
was simply casting an anchor to windward,
and very likely he expects great results in
contributions to the republican campaign
fund.
If Mr. Blaine had felt the public pulse
previously, however, he would hardly have
said what lie did. The trusts may rally to
the support of tho republican ticket, but in
the matter of voting, the people are more
powerful than the trusts. The sentiment
against such combinations is deeprooted
and widespread, and when the acknowledged
leader of the republican party goes out of
his way to defend them, great many
among The independents and the better class
of republicans will conclude that they had
better vote the democratic ticket
