If at years of age she will not make

condemned as bad pratice. All the

was one of the principals, and another
fact worthy of profound consideration
was that an animal far advanced in

present and would address them briefly

The Milwaukee Seasinci Of March ~ gives
map showing the congressional districts of that
state as they have stood and another showing
the districts as they will be under the Democra
tic gerrymandcr. The effect is TO district coun-
ties that in IssS gave l79,603 Republican to l5e.
5t6 Democratic votes. so that they arc counted
upon to elect Democrats and Republicans to
congress. The new Eighth district, embracing
Wood. Portage, Waupaea, outaganlie, Brown,
Kewaunec and Door is "fearfully and wonder
fully made" having striking resemblance to
al old-fashioned topboot with long, slim leg
and an exceedingly attenuated and remarkably
sharp toe. Asa whole the gerrymander is one
OF the most disgracefuliy artistic that has ever
been devised in any state. If there is any sound
public sentiment in Wisconsin such on outrage
cannot fail 70 operate as a boomerang

The receipts of the city water depart

1t might be claimed by some that this
surplus should be taken advantage of to

that considerable portion of the city,
which will have to bear its share of taxa

will be TO apply the surplus 70 extern

There seems to be q misrepresentation IS
to the relations intended by the charter to
exist between the legislative and admins
trative departments Of the city govern
ment. 1t grows out Of customs estab-
ished under the old system; and the
result is an occasional friction which
would be prevented if the differences were
more clearly understood.
The city council occasionally makes an
incursion into the domain of other
branches. and is met by an apparent oppo-
sition which is in reality only the logical
maintenance ofrights which are as definite
and flrm as those of the Legislative body.
The most recent illustration of this was
afforded on Tuesday night, when an alder
man, whose close study Of the charter
might have been expected to save him
from such an error, proposed to fine . city
official for disobeying the order of chair
man of a committee. He proposed to do
it under the authority of an ordinance
which would not apply, andif it attempted
to apply would be contrary to the funda-
mental law
ments and declares that all communica-
tions between departments must be made
by these heads except as otherwise pro-
vided." The exception is in giving the
financial committee of the council author
ity to inspect accounts and records of all
departments, but the same article very
positively declares that mo committee
and no part of any committee and no
member of either house shall have or ex-
ercise executive or administrative power"
1t is clearly beyond the province of any
member, either as chairman of commit
tee or otherwise, to issue an order to any
official.
In the case in question, an alderman, as
chairman of q committee, directed the city
engineer to fill in certain blanks in reso-
luton, and subsequently questioned him
as to his reason for failure to comply.
There was no warrant for this. Any such
communication must be made by the
president of the board to the Board of
Public Works. The city engineer is not
the head of department, but q subordi-
nate Of the board, which was not off,
cially cognizant Of the desire of the al
dermen to have the information sought.
The several boards are coordinate and
not subordinate branches of the city gov
eminent. The duty of the City Council is
to make laws, but the manner Of executing
them and administering the government
belongs entirely to that board which was
specially created for the purpose. The
public works, fire, police, park and
library commissioners are quite independ-
ent of the City Council; they are only
subject to laws made by that body.

SOME scRArs OF nrsronY.

Recent developments have brought 10
grief some of those who have been wont TO
harshly criticize Secretary Biaine's renun-
citation of the mare oieasusa claim in the
Bering Sea controversy. Their discom-
future is all the more complete from the
fact that these critics have generally been
found in the ranks of ex-President Glove
lands admirers, and have paraded him as
the fountain of all political knowledge and
righteousness.
1t seems that the controversy has in
duced some one at the national capital to
rsnsack the archives for everything in the
shape Of instructions or advice from the
Treasury Department that might have any
bearing upon the question. As result il
Is authorisatively stated that nothing of
the kind has been found in those archives
Of earlier date than lS72. 1t consisted of a
letter from Secretary Boutwell,, of Prcsi-
den. Grants cabinet, and bore date of
April 10 Of that year.

made or attempted And the seizures thus
made Cleveland promptly condemned by
ordering the release of the vessels thus
seized. So it appears that the position Of
Mr.. BIaine on this question was sustained
by John Quincy Adams, by Secretary
Boutwell,, and also by President Cieve-
land, while the Treasury Department of the
latter's administration stands alone in
support Of the absurd doctrine that has
been the cause Of SO much public misap-
prehension and ill-wilI.

TO MANUFACTURES TIN PLATE.

Mr.. Niedringhaus, the noted and eccen-
trio late congressman from st. Louis, who,
with his brothers has built up an enormous
business in the manufacture of marbleized
ironware, has commenced the erection of
tin plate plant which will give employ
ment to two thousand men. With all of
his eccentricities, Mr.. Niedringhaus is q
man of fine business capacity and un.
bounded energy, and his success in his pre-
his present venture viii be pushed to
successful issue.
1t is estimated that within two or three
years this enterprise will have been ex-
tended until the daily payroll Of its
employees will amount to $1,000 to 5000
per day, and it is confidently predicted
that IN common with all other industries
that protection has helped to establish in
this country, a very material reduction of
the product will ensue. The projectors en-
terrain no doubt that unless the protection
is withdrawn before they become firmly cs-
tablished, SO that the foreign article will
deprive them Of their market, they will be
able within few years to supply this
article of general consumption of better
quality and at lower prices than have ever
been quoted in the United States.
And thus before the autumn of 1892
shall have arrived the Niedringhaus ex-
pertinent viii have been in full blast, en-
ploying thousands of contented workmen,

Cheap Money and Mortgages.

ttukuty April
The moneyed class is always in the position to
guard itself against the bad effects Of disturbing
financial legislation and even to profit by il at
the expense OF the poorer class, A competent
authority upon the subject of farm mortgages
declares III at 10 per cent. OF them negotiated
by systematic lenders. banks and corporations
organized for this express purpose, and that it
has been the custom of many of these renders to
make the mortgage debt, both principal and in
terest payable in gold. 1t is believed that fully
ene-half of all the mortgage Indebtedness of the
country is in terms expressly payable in gold
though this is more generally the case in urban
than in farm loans. II we were to have free
silver coinage, and the country were to reach the
silver standard and gold were to rise TO 10 or
thegeahouts, mortgagors who are counting upon
having their debts reduced by the change would
soon discover their error. They would find that
they would have 10 pay SEQ IN silver for every
ins,aluaent of 500 interest In gold. In other
words. they, and not the capitalists and money
lenders, would be the losers from this as from
every other form of '.eheap Money"
