AT CITY HALL.

Doings of the Various Committees
 Las Evening With Reference to
 Municipal AGairs-Democfattc Se-
 lectmen In Caucus. RI ,:s35ti : The four democratic members of the board of selectmen held 8 caucus last eve ming to unite upon candidate to succeed the late John Reynolds as roadmaster. There are four aspirants for this office, namely, James McGovern, Daniel Lawlor, Daniel Sullivan and Richard Barrett. It is surmised that McGovern will be their choice, though no action was taken in the board.
 An opinion was received and accepted from Pigott & Pardee, the town counsel, to the effect that the board of selectmen has as much power as the city government lin establishing building lines.
 Foskett & Bishop presented an offer to furnish the town with pump for raising water into tank for running the elevator at the Springside almshouse, the sum to be $1, ,O45. The matter was referred to the committee on constructions and repairs.
 About 100 Westville residents sent in petition asking that Elizur Lounsberry be given the contract for repairing the West vile roads, subject to the direction of the readmaster. This was referred to the committee on roads and bridges.
 THE COMMITTEE ON SQUARES MEET. The committee on squares met last even- ing in the mayors office, and the first mat
 ter of business brought up was about the 1 fifty additional seats for the Green, which
 were ordered last year by the court ot common council, but which have not yet ] been provided No action was taken. They recommended a national flag pole in front of the Grand Street school. THE ORDNANCE COMMITTEE. The ordinance committee met last even- ing and succeeded in doing what they and preceding committees have been attempt ing to do for the past five years, namely, the recommending of plumbing ordi- nance. This ordinance is similar to the one which has given so much satisfaction in Worcester, Mass, and which is thought will be satisfactory in this city to both the plumbers and property owners. Andrew J. Clerkin came as the repre- sentative of the plumbers to favor it's rec ommendation.
 THE SEWER COMMITTEE. At the meeting of the sewer committed
 last evening the following petitions were | recommended. Petition of R. J. Kempi l ct al. for sewer in Foster street, between
 Avon and Cannon streets.
 | Petition of s. I. Ostrander ct al. fol sewer in Pleasant street, between Hum phrey and Clark streets. l The petition of Mrs. c. w. Crane ct al | for the extension of Whitney avenue sewer | to Highland street was tabled.
 The petitioners for the extension O
 Meadow street were given leave to with
 draw.

Letter Carriera.

The letter carriers donated $150 of the money raised from their recent promenade to Maurice Cain, one of their number who had been disabled for some time owing to fall on the ice. This with other dona- tions made handsome tribute for their brother-most creditable indeed to the as- sociation. The programs for the prone made were so much admired that several hundred more were ordered of MT. McIn- tosh, the art dealer, who got them up. The association is fourishing and owing to the of equally pleasant affair annually is in prospect.

 Major Kinney's funeral yesterday, though necessarily involving an elaborate parade, and proving a great public demonstration, was nevertheless an occasion of very evident grief-a tribute of affection. Circumstances made eminently proper the public form that it took, and there was no shock in that to pri- vate griefs. We can well imagine that the modest Kinney, who always waived aside impatiently any praise given to him, would have been amazed had he known how Hartford would receive the news of his death and what an affair of importance his
 funeral would be. People judged him better

AFRAID OF HIM.
That is the Reason the Demo-
cratic Press Attempt to Belit-
H. tie Hon. Knute Nelson.

That cantankerous Democratic
sheet, the Minneapolis Times says:
Knute Nelson has sinned away
his day Of grace. The time was
when he was veritable slittle
giant" in the politics Of Minnesota,
and nothing in the gift of the Re
publican party was too good for
him. But his glory has departed.
The bourbon organs are all echo
ing the same sentiment. If Mr.
Nelson is such a weak stick why
are they constantly decrying him,
why SO persistent in showing his
alleged vulnerable points and rep
resenting him as played out?
There is something about all this
Democratic buster against the
'slittle giant that would strike a
man Of ordinary horse sense as be-
ing a little seldom. . Martin

ADVISE THEM Alright.

Indians at Little Falls do So?

Will the Friends of the Mile Laos
Indians at Little Falls do So?
Commissioner Hall, of the In
dian department, was in the city
Tuesday consulting with some Of
our citizens about the Mile Laos
Indians. The commissioner is en-
deavoring to concentrate the In
dams of the. State upon the White
Earth reservation, where all will
be provided for. The Mile Laos
tribes have no further legal rights
to their land, and when they thor
ough1y understand this they can
not fail to act reasonably in the
matter, and agree to a removal.
White settlers are obtaining pos
session under legal authority Of all
the lands occupied by the Indians.
Those of our citizens who have
the acquaintance and confidence of
the Indians should assist them and
inform them of the exact situation
of affairs. These Indians know
that the people of Little Falls have
been their best friends since the
friendly acts of that tribe during
the troubles of 1852, and if their
friends from this city, advise them
that it is best to 60 to White Earth
we believe they will go.-Little

INEVITABLE.
The Indians Must Yield to the
Demands Of Civilization.

Extract from Indian Commits
Morgan's annual report: while
it is possible to push this work too
rapidly, perhaps, I do not hesitate
to say that the ultimate destruc-
ton Of the entire system Of reser-
vations is inevitable. There is no
place for it in our present con-
dition of life. The millions of
acres Of Indian lands now lying
absolutely unused are needed as
homes for our rapidly increasing
population, and must be SO uti-
lied. Whatever right and title
the Indians have in them is subject
to and must yield to the demands
of civilization. They should be
protected in the permanent posses
sion of all this land that is neces-
sary for their own support, and
whatever is coded by them should
be paid for at it's full market
value. But it cannot be expected
under any circumstances that these
reservations can remain intact,
hindering the progress Of civiliza-
ton, requiring an army to pro-
tect them from the encroachments
of home-seekers, and maintaining
a perpetual abode of savagery and
animalism." -.

Letting an Erring Brother Down

ing Storm.

A very dark shadow is hanging
over one Of the prominent said-to-
be Alliance men in this State.
This is published for reason
that it is being whispered where
an explosion will damage the AL
lance cause. Our sincere advice
to this person is-if false, come to
us and let us publish straight
vindication before it is bruited
abroad by others. If true then
quietly retire from the work and
leave the State. Even this ugly
method of referring to personal
matters is unfortunate, and COM

the Alliance from an approaching
storm.-Great West.

THE TEMPLATE INDUSTRY.
The British Manufacturers and
the Democrats Pull To-
Y9thnr fE4

The British Manufacturers and
the Democrats Pull To-
gether.
The Democratic cry that Amer
lea cannot master the making of
tin-plate is believed not even by
our British competitors. While
Democratic editors are tumbling
over each other in their haste to
stultify themselves and belittle
their country, the British are
pointing to past achievements of
American mechanical genius and
sadly seeking new markets. The
London lroaanaomge1 is obliged to
confess: =
The American manufacturers will
have many difficulties to contend
with, no doubt, but they have ac-
complished too much already in
metallurgy to be daunted by a
process such as tin-plate making.
We do not indulge in prophecy,
but-if we did we should be inclined
to forecast that within three years
from now a great many tin-plates
will be made in the United States.
AS a natural sequence Of that i'm
preston we would advise the
Welsh manufacturers to lose no
time in endeavoring to open up
new markets.
A prominent British manufac-
turer who recently visited the new
tin-plate works at Pittsburg, St.
Louis, Chicago and other points,
states, ut is only a question Of
time when tin-plates will be manu-
featured in your country on scale
which will cripple the Welsh trade
with America " '.~s .s
The London Financial Times
warns the Welsh manufacturers of
their coming fate and points to the
destruction of the Mckinley law
through Britain's ''strong- siding
champions in Chicago and else
where" as the Welsh manufact-
urer's salvation. ...1..
Time alone is wanting to build
up the industry, but it is to be
feared that the Welsh manufact-
urers are deceiving themselves if
they imagine that a decade must
elapse before any impression can
be made on their business by
rivals across the water. A year or
two, however, will certainly inter-
vene before the competition can be
really dangerous. Long ere. that
time it is to be hoped that the
American people will have torn up
the Mckinley law root and branch,
or at least have pruned judiciously,
and signs are not wanting that
this will come about. The Welsh
manufacturers have some strong
siding champions in Chicago and
elsewhere.
This last sentence-'' The Welsh
manufacturers have some strong
siding champions in Chicago and
elsewhere'- let's in a flood of light
on the bitter and persistent cam
paign waged against the young in
dustry over SO large portion of
the country. By a powerful
capitalistic trust in Wales and a
we'll organized political ally in
America, the Welsh manufacturers
hope to choke down the young
industry and kill it's bulwark, the

News from Howard Lake, Mimi,
says that all Wright county is ex-
cited over phenomenal birth which
occurred four months ago at Boone

those who have seen it as a devil.
Its body is covered with hair a
couple of inches long. 1t has horns,
a tail and a foot which is a cross
between that of a man and dog.
Its mother is Mrs. Sarah A. Morris.
a woman of English parentage, and
of the best connections. She be~
came violent on sight of the mon.
stroslty, and was sent to St. Peters
this week hopelessly insane. The
devil child developed rapidly and
now weighs 22 pounds. 1t already
sfews greater degree of intelli-
gence than child usually does at
the age OF one year. Members of
the Morris family explain the phe>
ncmenon from an incident that
occurred about two months before
the birth. A peddler of Bibles
came to the house and Mrs. Morris

the remark that she would as soon
see the devil IN her house as the
