SPEAKING of the fact that PLesi-

advice in financial matters, the ST.

financier, and adds: But what a
howl would go up from the Democrat

can president should even be seen
passing the time of day with this able
railroad PRESIDENT" Howl. Why
the deaf wouldn't need ear trumpets
to hear what they had to say about
such an unholy proceeding. Never
was there as much said as during the
last presidential campaign, about
plutOcratic control OF the govern

that if the Democrats were put in
control Of affairs, the end OF such con-
troll would come. But no administra-
tiOn has hObnobDed with the so-called

has the present one. Undoubtedly it
finds that some Of these alleged pluto

no one will object. But it is amusing
to see how quiet the Democratic

afternoon in the District court. 1t is
suit to recover $4,000 damages for in
iuries sustained by the plaintiff in
falling into the Broad street sewer ex-
cavation on the night of Oct. oth

er lights nor barriers to warn people
that an excavation had been made.
He fell into the excavation and struck
on the sides, supports and bottom.
Two of his ribs were broken and he
suffered severe bruises and strains
which permanently injure him. He
spent S25 in doctor bills and medicine
and wants $4,000 as additional salye.
His attorney is Lorin Cray, while
Pau & Young appear for the city.
The evidence in the case of Fair
banks. Morse & Co. VS.. w. j. Glynn

which it did. A stay of thirty days
was taken.

Sheriff Glynn in connection with the
same matter. and it was agreed to try
these before the court with or with

IT is said that the foreign travel to
Worlds Fair is not going to be any
where near as large as was anticipat-
ed Europeans are perfectly willing
that Americans should go over there
and part with lot Of gold, but when
it comes to reciprocate, well, they are
not in it. However the denizens of
Old World will not realize until it is
too late, what they will miss by not
taking in the great fair.

"A Washington dispatch to the
Globe says that ii. G. Gerlach has ap
piled for the position of superintend
ing architect of the government build
ing add Ed. Swan for the position of
disbursing agent, and that both will
be appointed. 1t is understood that
they are endorsed by Hon. Jno f.
Meagher and Michael Doran, and this
being the case there is little doubt
but that the prediction of the Wash
ingi on correspondent is correct. Mr..
Gerlach states that he put jn his APP
plication last week upon the advice of
several Democrats. He was an appli-
cant last year and had a large petition.
Mr.. Tnayer is thoroughly com
petent architect and no question
has been raised as to his ability or
integIety. If he is removed it will be
simply for the reason that he is Re-
publican, though not Extensively par
tisan. Mr. Gerlach is we'll equipped
to discharge the duties of the posi-
ton, but he already has his hands full
of work, and Mr.. Thayer has turned
away work in order to be able to give
his whole time to the work. 1t seems
as though to make a change under
the present circumstances would be
anything but civil service reform.

former is willing to donate whatever

stand. Mr.. Fletcher, however, may
oppose the opening of the street un-
less the Minnesota street contest be
dropped, proposition which the pro-
perty owners will not agree to. Mr..
Fletcher's land extends across Poplar

tion proceedings.

The recommendation of the
grand jury for the construction of
new jail is IN line with the action of
previous grand juries, and is an in
dOrsement of the action of the coun-
ty commissioners in resolving to put
up new building. The grand jury
represents nearly every township in
the county and is more representa-
tive body than any that assemblies in
the county. Having been repeatedly
urged by different grand juries to
build new jail. and the actual need
being SO pressing, the county board
should proceed at once to secure plans
and specifications and get the found
alton in this fall, in order to complete
the building next year.

THE CITY'S DEFENSE.

The trial of the suit Of John e.
Burke VS.. the City of MankaJo and
Mccall & Iahoney to recover $4,000
damages for injuries received by fall
ing into an open sewer excavation last
October, began yesterday afternoon
and occupied all of today. The plaintiff
rested at 1900 a. N.
The following jury was secured:
Herman Lortz, Z. II. Dietz, d. d.
Brewer, E. A. Cooper, Peter Mention,
FL. H. Edwards, Lucien Lindsey, z.
McArdle, John Heintze, Nels Peter
son, w. L. Rapley and John Maggie.
The witnesses for the plaintiff
were John E. Burke, Peter Sanger,
Fred Carlstrom, Fred POlchow, VIM.
Cartz, DR.. E. J. Davis and Mrs. j. E.
Burke. Burke testified that there
were no lights where he fell in and
that the night was dark and cloudy
and he could not. see the excavations.
He suffered severely from his fall. The
other witnesses cOrrObOrated his teS-
timony IN so far as their description
of the appearance of the sewer where
he fell in is concerned, told of the
finding of the hat, etc. No one saw
bin fall in.
John Mccall and Michael Maloney
were che two first witnesses put on
by the defense, and they testified tia
the place where Burke claims to have
fallen into the sewer was amply
lighted. Owing to the sandy soil it
had been impossible to tunnel under
the crossWalk at that place.
The defense is attempting to show
that Burke was drunk and fell in by
his own carelessness, and that the
proper guard lights were up.
I'll. Burmister was admitted to citi-
ZenShip.
The suit of Albert Schippel VS.. The
Woodman's Accident Co., to recover
$500 for the loss of three fingers year
ago, was settled and dismissed today.

afternoon on an indictment charging
him with grand larceny in the Jhil d
