The Periodical Campaign Liar

At every county and state election
there 10 class OF professional liars

dates, either for pay or drinks. They
are generally . very low class, usually
supported by the hard work OF their
wives and children during the vacs-
lions between elections, and at times
by the candidates themselves. The
changing Of the law SO % to have one
general state election every two years
was . cruel blow. Ii IL SO fsarfully
long between drinks. This class II
appears are already At work. Some
of the old timers have been imported
and the citizens may look for some,
dirty work between now and the pri.
mary, unless all signs fall. When
ever you see old discarded ex officers,
would.be officers that are laying low
on their oars. not making any use Ot
thoir money in any way but for their
selfish selves, and giving employment
TO none, mixing with candidates Of as
sumed different political faith In Sc
cluded back alleys, or in . corner of
Livery Stable then you may look for
tall lieing, and perhaps the system Of
false sffiidavits will again be imposed
upon the good people Of Dubois
county. The material for making
them seems to be on hand. The citizens
and voters have not forgotten the past
and judge the various candidates by
their past efforts. Cslumny and Icing
will fall flat. Still another system Of
Icing will be by the very timid who
will promise the world in secluded
corner. and get the trembles at the
least noise or seeming approach Of an
other candidate, This class Of Icing
is perhaps excussble as some Of the
candidates are of such bull dog ma.
lures that it Is good policy to get
them of at any price.

ST. PAUL TO THE FORE.
A st. Paul Concern Secures a
Naval Contract.

The American Hoist and Derrick
company, located OH the West side. has
secured contract for an immense naval
yard crane. to be used in the United
States naval J ards at Mare island, San
Francisco. The contract was secured
from the navy department at Washing
ton by competitive bidding. The con-
tract price is $4,000, which was the
lowest bid. in which William Sellers. of
Philadelphia. and the American Ship
Windlass company, of Providence, n.
j.. were competitors. By securing this
contract the American Hoist and Der
rick company has not only shown the
enterprise of home institution, but
has done good thing for the city.
Oliver Crosby, of the company, in
speaking of the contract yesterday, said
that the material used consists of
wrought iron and steel, which he Sc
cured from Pittsburg. 1t was the in
tention to have much of the mechanical
work done in that city, but lately the
company determined to do all the work
in the shops of this city, and thus afford
a great amount of work for the skilled
mechanics and workmen Of ST. Paul.
The crane itself will weigh forty tons,
and will be used in the navy yards on
Mare island for handling armor plate,
big guns, etc. The crane will be used
at the end OF seVenty-ive-foot beam,
and will travel Oh track of 200 feet
gauge. The crane and its support will
weigh 135 tons, besides counter-bal-
ancing weight of 1913 tons. The highest
point of the crane above the track will
be forty-five feet. The work will be
completed in this city and fitted togeth-
er, and will then be taken apart and
shipped to its destination, and be put up
ready for work by the first of next j uly.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Resolutions Favoring New School
Buildings.

The most important matter consid-
cred by the directors meeting of the
chamber of commerce yesterday fore
noon was the report OF the special COM
mittee of three on schools. The COM
mittce, composed of G.. B. Gilbert, Rus
sell r. Dorr and j. G. Pyle. set forth
that in the spring of 1891 the last build
ing erected by the board of education
was completed.
''Since that time" continued the re-
port, ''although the school roll has in
creased between three and four thou
sand, no additional facilities have been
furnished. AS result, in certain quar-
tiers of the city schools are greatly con-
gested, and the board of school inspect
ors have been compelled to find relief
by refusing admission to scholars de-
string to attend school, by renting
rooms, and by compelling children to
attend but half day each, thus making
one school provide for two sets of chill
dren. The rented rooms were unsatis-
factory because of improper sanitary
conditions and the lack of proper super
vision. The halliday sessions are. per-
haps, less Objectionable than the rented
quarters, but give rise to grave and de-
served complaint.
"In the fall of 1892 the school board
made an especial report to the council,
setting forth the congested condition of
certain school buildings, and asking for
the levying of half-milI tax and the
erection of the needed buildings. To
this report and request. SO far as your
committee can ascertain, no reply was
ever sent by the council. The board is
now preparing another report urging
upon the council the levying of the half
mill allowed by law, and the erection of
school buildings"
The report proceeds to quote the
figures set forth by Supt. Gilbert in his
last report to the school board, in whic h
he said that there are forty-four school
buildings, with normal seating ca
pacIty of 1860, while the enrolment
of pupils on Nov. was II, 1874, an eX-
| cess of 1,4S4 over the seating accom-
modations.
The following resolution recon-
mended i'll the report was at length
adopted by the committee.
1.-THE chamber of commerce hereby
calls the attention Of the common coun-
| Gil to the overcrowded condition of some
of the public schools. and to the need
for enlarged school accommodations,
and respectfully urges upon said COM
mon council that in the tax levy about
to be made for the coming year there be
included the one-half mill allowed by
| law for school buildings"
The resolution was adopted unani-
| mously, there being present thirty-fiye
members Of the board of directors of
the chamber.
On notion, the special committee was
instructed to attend at the city hall the
meeting in the afternoon Of the confer

JUDGE BENEDICT
Writes an Interesting Letter
From Cape Town.

John E. Hearn has received a letter
from Hon. G. II. Benedict announcing
his arrival at his post as consul at
Cape Town, Africa. He states in his
letter that he, as we'll as his wife and
daughter Emily, are pleased with the
place and enjoyed the voyage of thirty
three days at sea. They have plenty
OF social entertainment, and are de-
lighted with the beauties of Cape Town {.
In describing the city he says it has a
population of 100000, located on the
sea. The mountains back of the town
extend almost perpendicularly to
height of 1900 feet. The colleges and
ch urches are highly praised. The public
library building is larger than the city
hall in st. Paul, the theater is as large
and handsome as the Metropolitan in
st. Paul. the street car service is good
and the climate is delightful and health
full, the water system is splendid. A
description of the products, flowers,
fruits and scenery is wound up with the
statement that the country is the near
est to perfection he ever saw. He sends
thanks to his friends for securing his
appointment, and says he never can
show his gratitude for the aid given him
in securing the appointment. The
United States interests there are spoken
OF as being extensive.

KICKERs DEFEATED.
The Resurvey Shows the First to
BE Correct.


The board of county commissioners
met yesterday to settle the dispute over
the grading done on the Rice street road
under the contracts Of Mulligan and
Lux. Some of the people in the neigh
borhOod made vigorous kick some time
since, claiming that the county surveyor
had not made an accurate survey as to
the amount of grading done. County
Surveyor Cdrtice, after the matter had
been discussed at several meetings, said
that he would agree to pay for re-
survey of the work by some competent
engineer in case any inaccuracy was
found in the work, provided some one
would agree to pay for the services in
case no substantial error was discovered
in his work. The outcome of the mat
ter was that g. G. Saulez was selected
by the kickers to go over the ground.
B. Kuhn put up check for 800, from
which it was agreed the expenses of the
new survey should be paid in case less
than 500 cubic yards of an error
was discovered. Mr.. Saulez reported
yesterday that he had found that
there had been 1861 cubic yards of
earth removed, or one yard more than
Mr.. Curtice had given the contractors
credit for removing. Peter Ortt and B.
Kuhn were still not satisfied with the
report of the surveyor agreed upon by
them, and wanted another survey made.
The mayor, who was presiding, and the
members of the board grew indignant
at the course pursued by the men, and
the charge of irregularity made against
the man whom they had selected to
make the resurvey, and a warm debate
followed. The ''kickers'' were told that
they had gone far enough, and they
might as well admit that they had gone
into the dispute over the statements
made by some incompetent surveyor.
and that they should now be satisfied
with two surveys made by competent
engineers. The board then directed
the mayor to pay for the resurvey to
Mr.. SauleZ out of the 500 check and to
return the balance of s25 to Mr.. Kuhn.
At this the kickers went out of the
roo m in a. rather bad humor.

PATTERSON NOT IN 1T.
His Right to a Pension Considered
Doubtful.

The trustees of the police pension
fund, at their meeting yesterday, or
dered the name of Mrs. Julia Costello
placed on the roll at S33 So per month
from Jan. l, 1898. The city attorney, to
whom was referred the application of
John Patterson for place on the roll,
reported that it was questionable
whether Patterson had performed police
duty for period of twenty years. and
he could-not find evidence of this suffl-
cient to satisfy him to report i'll favor of
the applicant being placed on the roll.
At the time the law was passed Patter-
son was serving as bailiff in the police
court, and the pension law provides
that only 1.-The chief. captains. sergeants,
inspectors, detectives and patrolmen"
were eligible. The matter was referred
back to the city attorney for closer in
vestigation. The regular payroll,
amounting TO S40416, aud the special
one for S333.33 for Mrs. Costello, were
approved.
