R%EDISTRICTING FAILS.
The Aldermen Postpone Action in
0'Rourke's New Job.

After q caucus was held in the City
Clerks Office last night, the members Of
the Board of Aldermen held a meeting.
The subjects discussed were redistricting
the city and the appointment Of Alder
man Mike O'Rourke as sealer of weights
and measures, at a salary of $1,000 a year.
In the caucus O'Rourke came u a
winner, for it was decided to appoint
him.
The fact that it was supposed that the
redfstricting ordinance would come De-
fore the Board vas inducement enough
to I'LL the lobby, and in the crowd l
defeated candidates for Aldermanic
honors from the Fifth district. There
was a sad expression on their faces and a
sfar-away look' in their eyes. Alderman
elect Kaiser, of the Sixth, strolled IN tne
room to see how his future fellow WORK
has did business. x-ASsemblyman DICK
swn feared that without mis- presence
P - Getting could not be successful and
~. early on the scene. That open
a philantrophist, Pat Buckley, was
-too. So was A~ssemblyman Byrnes
Vx-Coroner John g. Hughes.
mong others l noticed Patrick Nc
aide, Mike Kelly, ex-Commiss1oner
.adden, John Sheridan, Building Inspec-
Tor James c.. Clarke, Poor Master Hewitt,
Deputy Sheriff Joe Whelan, Johnny
OeBrlen and last, but by no means least,
Mike O'Mara. These gentlemen all APP
peared anxious to learn what the Alder
men intended to do.
After roll call, A"lderman-elect Kaiser
was invited inside the rail, and the lnvi-
tation was accepted. Business then
began. A large number of claims We're
received and subsequently paid. n
Alderman O'NeiA offered q resolution
appointing Alderman O,Rourke to be
Sealer of Weights aud Measures, which
was adopted sfter o protest from Alder
man SGhermerhorn. Mr.. Schermerhorn
said:lfsUnder section IL of the charter
nc appointment can be made until the
Board OF Finance axe the necessary
any REPUTATION"
Isfhis is 4 mistake said Mr.. O'Neill.
NJ may be appointed, but he cannot act
u lder the charter until the Finance
Hoard makes the appropriation. In this
appointment we have simply taken time
ny the forelock."
II protest." retorted Mr.. Shermerhorn.
ut is a direct violation of 81 ordinance
adopted at our last meeting" The pro-
test had no effect, and by a vote of seven
TO two MIR. O'Rourke was selected. He
asked to be excused from voting for him
self.
Alderman O'Nem next moved that the
Board adjourn to April 25 and it was
carried.
The redistrictring ordinance will prob
ably be settled then.

The Hudson County Wheelmen enter
tanned as many friends last evening as
could crowd their way into the club
house, Communipaw and Crescent ave-
nues. An excellent programme was pre-

Quintette Club, solos, STARS of the Sum
mel Night and "a Winter Lullaby, = by
Miss Belle Watson; solos by K. p. Girls
void; violin solo by Henry Harrison, ac-
coinpanied by Miss Jessie Marvin, and

tDunducketty's Picnic. or On and Off,
a bright. One-act farce, constituted the
second part. The cast included Messrs.
Christian, Thomas, Markham. Benedict,
De Camp and Patsy JONES'" and the
Misses Clara and lola Honeywell. The
piece and its incidents and humorous
situations kept the auditors in a roar of
laughter, and the jolly wheelmen had
their full share of the fun, as usual.

Considerable discussion pro. and
con. has taken place by the press in
regard to the question as to whether
the present session of the legislature
is legal or not. Attorney General
Goodwin has given his of6cia!
opinion to the effect that it is, but
there are some attorneys equally as
smart who claim that it is not. We
will introduce at this point Sec. 53
of the constitution:
Sec. 50. The legislative assembly
shall meet at the seat of government
at II o'clock noon. on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Janu-
ary, in the year next following the

CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE Ep1ron.

10 THE EDITOR.
1t seems that President Muir of the
Farmers Alliance, gives all the credit
of the defeat of the lottery bill to Gov.
Miller. Without doubt Gov. Miller
killed the bill with his veto. but l say
all honor to the representatives of tho
10th district. They worked first, last
and always to defeat the bill. Hon.
w. H. H. Roncy is one of the strongest
Alliance men of Steele county, and they
are proud to own him as such in the
Steele county Alliance. If he is not en-
titled to honor for his course as men,
ber of the present legislature tail to
see why it is.
Representative Balkan is strong Al
lance man and think President Muir
should give them some credit for what
they have done to defeat the lottery
sharks.
The Pioneer Press is rather unjust to
condemn Hon. j. o. Smith as severely
rs it does and leave others who seem.
ingly were more gully. Perhaps the
''loaves and fishes" did not come in
there way, and the Press is little sore
over it. The representatives ofthe 10th
district have proven themselves capable,
hard working members, and let us not
condemn too hastily if one of them did
make mistake. Give him chance to
explain his motives and to give bis rea-
sons for voting as he did. The farmers
of the present legislature seem well
qualified 10 take care of themselves and
to look we'll after the interest of the
farming community of North Daketa.
Perhaps some of us in Steele county are
a little proud of our representative. II
does us good to see an old veteran and
G. A. II. man come to the front and
"stay thare" just as we'll as he did in
stormy days of 81. We think the in.
terests of our district will be we'll cared
for by our present delegation and il
every district in North Dakota was as
we'll represented as ours is, there would
be far more business done than there
has been Give them full credit fol
what they have done and look for them
to care we'll for our interests in the flu
ture. K.

Our legislature has very gencrons-

Our legislature has very generous
ly located the state fair permanently
at Grand Forks. We may be off our
base but it seems to us that this is an
injustice to other towns in N. D.
who are just as able to have fair
as Grand Forks. Our farmer legis-
lature has been bowling "down with
monopolles" ever since they went to
Bismarck, yet here they go and vote
for one first lick. Fargo, Casselton,
Cooperstown, Jamestown, Devils
Lake, and several other good towns
should take turns at having the fair.
By changing around to different
places more farmers would have a
chance to exhibit their Durham
horses, Percheron cattle, Poland
China sheep and Shropshire hogs.
Griggs county in a year or two will
have as fine horses to exhibit as any
county in the state, but we do not
want to go go to Grand Forks every
year when we could get to conven-
lent place in half the distance. By
all means let us down these monopo-
lice
