"First-That eight hours shall consti-

of wages; that hours of labor shall be

and until IL o'clock shall be charged

days to be charged as double time.
"Second-That no firm engaged in or
carrying on the business of plumbing
and gasftting in the city of Minneapo-
lis shall employ other than union men,
the same to have clear working card,

of the thing" Consequently those who
voted for the resolution are pleased to
know that it will fall into Potter's
hands. Aid. Bradish, in speaking OF
>the vetoes, said:
why, Mayor Winston has never
given us tiat-footed veto in this mat
ter. He simply saws he does not like
the resolutions, gives reasons for his
opinions, and then refuses to sign the
resolutions. Now these reasons are
wiped out. Even if there should be
another veto. there is reason to believe
that it will be knocked out. We have
seventeen votes aud only one is needed,
unless some one of the present sup
pOrters switches over to the other side,
which is not likely.
LAS far as the merits of the different
materials are concerned, don't pretend
to be an expert, but, fail to see why
one should re-advertiSe for bids. when
we already have before us bids Offering
the very thing we asked for. Parkhurst
was one of the highest bidders last year,
but he secured the contract. and it wasn't
found necessary to advertise twice for
bids either.
II notice in this connection that some
aldermen have intimated that those of
US who voted to award the contract to
Nyvall q Westlund, and there were
fifteen who voted that way yesterday,
are under obligations to that firm. That's
a likely state of affairs. isn't it? Does it
look reasonable that fifteen or sixteen
aldermen. all living in different portions
OF the city, would be under obligations
to comparatively unknown firm.
Speaking for myself.I will say that AIN
not even acquainted with Mr.. Nyall, the
senior member of the firm"
But is this confidence in Potter on the
part of the NyvalI & Westlund parti-
sans wholly warranted? Not unless
Potter has declared himself. When this
matter of awarding curbing contracts
was up before, on two occasions Potter
voted straight with the men who pleaded
that bids should be readvertised for.
He even went so far as to take the floor
and speak Oh that side of the question.
He may veto too.
City Attorney Russell was asked if he
considered that the Rand resolution
was legal. Mr.. Russell did not care to
give positive opinion, not having care
fully examined the resolution as yet !;
but he was inclined to think that the
resolution was pretty nearly in con-
formlty with the advertisement.

who were minors. The complaint
states that the mother before her death
executed blank quit claim deed that
contained no names or description,
Whlcb she gave to her husband, James
Nj. Jarret. For some time after her
death the, deed remained in the fathers
possession. and soon after Timothy
Bowen, fully knowing the circum-
stances, made negotiations with him
for the purchase of the property.
They set about this by using the
blank deed, inserting the name of
Lydia Jarret, mother of James, as
grantee from Elizabeth. Afterwards.
on May ID. 1866, Lydia Jarret signed
the property to Bowen by Quit claim.
After time Bowen died, leaving as his
widow the defendant in the present
suit, Mary Bowen, and his son Timothy.
NJ airy disposed of portions of the prop
erty to different persons who were
wholly innocent of fraud in the matter.

CUTTING bows TIE FEES.
Some Time-Honored Republican
Precedents Done Away With.

j. P. West, deputy public examiner.
has addressed letter to the county
commissioners in which he sets aside
some time-honored precedents which
county officials have been following to
their pecuniary advantage. He says,
for example, that the sheriff has not the
right to collect 80 cents for a copy of
each petit or grand juror summoned,
but only in cases where Juror cannot
be found for personal service and a
written notice is left at his place of res
idence, and the sheriff is entitled to
mileage only in these cases. He cannot
charge mileage from the court house to
the place of residence of each Juror and
return, and the bills should also be
ltemlzed to show the distance he should
travel. The bills of the clerk of court
should also be more specifically item
lied. Mr.. West also says the coroner
should not be allowed s. for viewing"
a dead body, as has been customary,
but only IS per day for holding an in
quest or examination, with mileage.
and cannot receive more than one diem
per day, no matter how many post
mortems he holds on that day.
