WILL ACT INDEPENDENTLY.

The joint committee on charter re-
vision, appointed by the Board of
Trade and Council, held it's second
meeting last night, at the city hall.
Aid. Harrington and MeSSrs, j. A.
Willard and L. Cray were absent, but
those who were present were very sue
cessful in getting up a lively discuss
ion and finally rupture and split up.
The first part of the evening was de-
voted to an informed squabble over
the retention of the Board of Public
Works. The aldermen had not yet
cooled off from Monday nights meet
ing and Aids. Henlein, Lamm, and
Jorgensen made it interesting for
MesSrs. Pitcher and Barney. Mr..
Henlein was by courtesy recognized as
chairman of the meeting, and when
Mr.. Barney rose to make the first real
argument of the evening and endeav-
ored to arrange compromise, SO as to
accomplish some definite result, Mr..
Henlein cut him off at the end of ten
minutes, by declaring that he has spo-
ken long enough. Mr.. Barney was
just reaching the point in his argu-
ment, but was obliged to sit down,
though he claimed that others had
spoken longer time. The final out
come was that the committee dissolv
ed without the formality of motion
to adjourn, and there is no likelihood
that it will come together again. Mr..
Barney declares that he will never
meet with the joint committee again
and will present his report to the
Board of Trade next Monday evening.
From present appearances, it is safe
to say that each committee will pre-
pare charter amendments to suit it.
self, The council committee will
strike out the provision for Board of
Public Works, and the Board of Trade
committee will prepare some amend
ments to that section. Each report
will be adopted and presented to Sen
ator Barr, who will be obliged to
shoulder good deal of responsibility
in connection with the matter, having
to choose between the reports. The
outcome is unfortunate, but was per-
hapS to have been expected, where
such discOrdant views are held.

The Ends of Justice Satisfied.
Lake CRYSTAL Union.l

We understand there are parties In
our neighbor city who labor under the
impression sthat case of forgery was
tried here last week and are disposed to
make some unkind remarks about the
disposition of the case brought before
Justice Mead. 1t is like this: the young
man was at first arrested on a warrant
for forgery, but after thorough investl-
CATION of all the circumstances in the
the case, the plea of forgery was with
drawn the following morning and one
for petty larceny substituted. The ends
of Justice were met and satisfied, and
this is all the parties interested de-
manded. They tempered their punish
ment with mercy, and they did right.

fishes text ofwhat purports to be So ret

of immigration. The decree appears to
have been issued June %. 1890, and

Brazil aud so francs for every child

landing 10 900 immigrants in Brazil in
one year. In addition, immigrants are
promised substantial advantages con-
tinRent upon their signing before

that immigrants sailing for Brazil
rfann German ports ''are never

therefore, when they reach Brazil they
are in the position of outlaws, and having
no rights are forced to enter into con-
tracts which practically convert them
into slaves. The Courier denounces this
system Us fraud, and accuses the Brazil
ian government Of oounivauce.
