HON. MATHEW GALLAGHER, In a
letter to the Globe, takes exception to
that journals defense of Gov. Merriam's
veto of the mechanics lien law bill.
The following is an extract: "Now I
will tell the Globe why Mr.. Merriam
vetoed this bill. 1t gave the laborer
a first lien for his labor. In fact, that
IS what the present law purports to do
but it gives the material men all the
best Of it. This law that the governor
has vetoed the material men opposed.
They. through their attorneys. as ann
informed, appeared before the governor
and argued for the veto of the bill.
Through this influence the bill was
vetoed, and not because it was incom~
plete In any respect, not because it was
unconstitutional in part or in whole
Wherever and whenev or labor is to be
prefer red in the operation Of lien lay
as against the interest of material that
is put into building the material men
will be found to repeal it. And that
was the ISSUE that was involved in this
matter. l don't know what reasons
this governor will have to give for his
action, but do believe that the labor
ers and mechanics understand we'll that
no law can ever be passed which gives
them first claim but that will be
fought by the same interests that has
Fought this bill. l think when the
Globe comes to understand this meas
ure fully it will no. say that the legisla
ture was dereljct in it's duty, but the
real blame is to be laid at the door of
Gov. Merriam"

IT is said that Monroe Nichols, chair.
man of the ST. Louis County Republi.

trar of the Duluth land office. In com
nection with this report it is said that
Senator Davis has Endorsed his appli-
cation. and now that Washburn has
gone to Europe, will lose no time in
pushing Nichols into Office. Thus may
result in 9 little private Office, talk

ticularly as the company had entered

The property owners on Pillsbury
avenue have finally taken THE IRISH
STANDARDS advice which was given
to people of the Eighth ward generally,
some time ago, and will have nice
row of trees planted on either side OF
their street between Twenty sixth and
Thirty.second streets this spring. At
the last meeting of the park board. a
petition from these property owners re-
questing the board to have trees planted
there was granted, there being no op-
position to 1T. This is good thing. 1t
will set an example to the property
owners ON other streets in that beauti-
full ward as we'll as the rest of the city.
Nothing beauties city like trees. and
strange to say. Minneapolis is not
planting as many trees as 1t ought. A
beautiful residence IS made twice as
handsome because of the trees that sur
round it, and ths most costly in our
city would be nothlng more or less than
a big barn without trees. Improve.
ment associations should be formed in
each ward with the view of ornament
ing the streets with shade trees. But
no one seems to take the initiative. and
thus it goes on from time to time, year
after year, until street improvements
make it more difficult to keep trees alive
if planted then, and the result is that
our fine wide streets are as bare as
prairie roads of trees and shrubs. We
hope to see other streets In MinneapO"
lis initiate PilIsbury avenue In this par
ticular.

THAT LIEN LAW.


Merriam in his goodness ~ of heart We
toed, was the best measure that has yet
been introduced in our legislature, and
because it was good for the poor man,
and terror to the defrauding builders,
Governor Merriam vetoed it. He tries
to make out that the law would. if ap-
proved by him, be unconstitutional.
That was none of his business. His
duty was to sign that bill, and in refus-
ing to do that he struck the strongest
blow possible at the poor laborer. Un-
der the present law it is impossible fer
a poor man to collect for work done on
eny building. He must wait until the
building 1s completed. and during all
this time neither he nor his lawyer can
live on air. Then where is the laborer's
benefit? There is none for him, and
thus he is systematically robbed all
around. Governor Merr1am's excuse
for refusing to sign that bill is the poor
est subterfuge that he could advance,
especially when we consider who 1t was
that drew up that bill--one of the ablest
lawyers in the state, Judge CAVITY. Nat
urallv Judge Uanty is very much IN
oensed at the Governor for failing to sign
this bill, and for the benefit of our read"
ers We will here quote from the Judges
interviews as published III the Times of
last Sunday: "The loss of the bill"
said he. twill amount to hundreds of
thousands of dollars year in this city
alone. The present law affords great
opportunities to dishonest men to steal
the labor employed in erecting build
ings. Workmen have to settle for what
they can get when they work for such
men, and they generally get from Is to
40 cents on the dollar-1f they get any
thing-while the material man gets 80
or 80 cents on the dollar. The reason
Is, that the working mans claim is al
ways too small to pay the expense of
fling and foreclosing lien for it. His
claim is generally from $40 to $40, while
it is worth at least $40 to $50 to file and
toreclose lien. 1t is easy to see that
bis claim is worthless. The claim of the
material man is generally much largsr
and besides the large lumber, brick and
other firms generally employ attorneys
by the year, and it costs them nothing
additional to foreclose few extra liens.
While our lien law has always given the
laboriug man right, it has never given
MIN any practical remedy, except to
foreclose his lien by bill in equity, as
mortgages are foreclosed; and this rem
edY is SO slow and expensive that even
mortgages are seldom foreclosed by tue
more quick and simple method of statu-
tory advisement. The rem
edy under the present lien law is about
the worst that could possibly be pro-
vlded. It req uires that all the liens on
the same structure be foreclosed in one
action, and if the building is not COM
pleted, and all the lien claimants
brought in, the action must be delayed
until they are. The man who digs the
foundation mus file his lien within 80
days and commence suit within six
months; and then he must wait until the
last flashing touch Is put on every nook

Two Young Men Mistake Physic Il

Two Young Men Mistake Physic for
Wine, ana Take Big Dose.
A good joke on two well-known YOUNG
men leaked out yesterday. although they
have been making desperate efforts to keen
it quiet.
Last Sunday night they called on lady
friend, who asked them if they would
have wine. They accepted the
offer, and the young lady stepped out to get
it. IL appears that the young men had
been treated before and knew where the
wine was kept. They thought they would
get the bottle and save the lady the trouble
of hunting it up. No trouble was expert
eneed in finding the bottle, and
both took good-sized drink
without waiting for their hostess
return. The stuff tasted rather strange.
and when the lady appeared in a few
minutes with bottle the youths saw some
mistake had been made. However, they
laughtngly told her that they had refreshed
Themselves, and when she asked where thew
got it they said in the usual place.
For moment she looked at the pair in
amazement and then burst out into a laugh
with the remark: "Why, you have drank
liver corrector" Their enjoyment was
turned to sorrow, and during the next day
the young men greatly regretted their &C.
ton, and it will be a long time before they
treat themselves again. The wine bottle
had been removed during the day and the
"correctorh put In its place.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 22.-John N. Hutchin-
son of Covington seems to be death proof.
From his strange experience he was not
born to be killed. He has met with no less
than twenty-five accidents In the past ten
years. At the Sullivan gas pits in Indiana
in 1884 there were thirteen men killed. He
was a green hand and escaped. He fell
from the roof of st. Mary's school house
when it was being erected. He dropped a
distance of seventy-five feet and was badly
injured. He was also hurt at the fruit
house, and fell from a church in West Gov
ington.
While walking on railroad track with
two other men a train came along and
killed his companions. He was stealing a
ride with two other tramps in Indiana. The
train jumped the track and the two tramps
were killed. He was hurt at the Dueber
works, and dozen other different places
Both of his arms have been broken, several
ribs fractured, his head crushed, his legs
broken. and yet to-day he is a pretty good
man.
