tion, and has special payilions in such

Horticulture and the Apiary. In the state

The royal couple were met at the
threshold by Mr.. and Mrs. Higin nbotham

siiken colors of Spain and the American
republic, the stars and stripes being crossed
over the folds of yellow and red on each

forming artistic arches without detractinS
from the harmony of colors in the perma-

Tho Beuwood authorities have allowed
assaults ON the property and employees
Of the street car company to go prac.
tIcally unrebuked and unpublished.
When there is a chance at the other
side remarkably alert regard for the
law is developed.
An employee OF the company who
draws revolver to hold off crowd is
fined twenty-five dollars and sent to jail
for thirty days. The usual punishment
for this offense is fine OF five dollars or
ten days inA jail. The mayor of Ben
wood opens himself to the charge Of
siding with the rioters against the men
who are engaged in lawful pursuit.
If the right OF these men to work be
conceded-they have the right whether
it be conceded or not--and il the law
full authoritieb will not give them pro-
lection, are they to submit to assault
and take tho chances OF coming out
alive2
Another view of the case relates to
the company. II it fails to 60 to the
rescue OF the man now under punish
ment by the sentence OF the mayor Of
Benwood, 1t deserves to DO deserted by
every man now in its employ and left
to make tho best of it.

wnEELN0, MARCH 1, 1893,
A RemarkabIe On Oontraot.

The point was sprung in council last
night that the city is under remark
able contract with the company furnish
ing the new water works equipment. 1t
Ia understood to be stipulated that
while this company is executing its con-
tract with the city any change in the
membership OF the water board must
be satisfactory to that company.
Nobody was able to say definitely
whether this remarkable provision is
in the contract. We shall probably
know to-day, after there shall have been
opportunity to look into the matter.
II would be odd, to say the least, for
the city to enter into a contract per-
hitting any contractor for public work
to cay who shall and who shall not be
elected to membership in city board.
Without, of course, any reference to the
present board, contract OF that kind,
il 1t were binding, would invite corrup-
ton if corruption were not the original
specific object.
That such a contract can take from
council its right to elect whom it
pleases to membership OF the water
board is a proposition too absurd to be
considered seriously. There must be
come mistake about it.
