For four months the board of re-

pality of Toledo, o. IL has reported
the result of its labors TO the city
council, and showed that the most ex-
travagant and reckless practices have
prevailed in the methods of each de-
partment of the city in the purchase
of supplies; that the city has for years
been practically without a head; one
city official deposits city cash in his
own name and draws interest on it.;
another pays himself his salary when
he thinks it is due, without regard to
warrant or voucher; many officials
have held public moneys delivered to
them for months instead of putting
them in the city treasury; firms have
had their claims placed on city ordin-
ances weeks before the goods were de-
livered, and many bills have been paid
two and three times. A city cOmptrol-
Ter will be appointed and the matter

The Great Lakes are "High Seas"

The great lakes are high seas accord
ing to the construction announced by
Justice Field in the United States SUI
preme court in the consideration of an
act of Congress providing for the pun
ishment of offenders on the high seas.
The case was one against Robert G..
Rogers who assaulted another man on
a steamer in the Detroit river.
Justice Field said that formerly the
term high seas was used TO designate
open or enclosed waters of the ocean,
but that there has been q development
of the term and that il does not now
have the significance formerly attach
ing to it. The statute of the United
States for the punishment of offenses
on the high seas and connecting wa
tiers, he holds, was intended to all navig
able waters outside the jurisdiction of
any particular state. lie believed it
was a matter not of local name but of
facts that the designation great lakes
could not withhold jurisdiction, where
waters were open to free navigation of
other countries.
Justice Gray disscnted, saying he
was unable TO agree to the hypothesis
that congress in saying "high seas"
could mean the great lakes"

I'owderIV Resigns,

T. V. Powderly had resigned his
position of general master workman of
the Knights of Labor. He was unable
to keep the delegates in the line he had
marked out for them and this decisive
move seemed to be the only one left
for him TO adopt. The causes which
led up to the resignation are as follows:
After Mr.. Powdcriy had been repeat
eddy urged by the assembly to substi-
tute new list of names for members
of the executive committee, he acquies-
ced. The second list was not much
more favorably received than the first
one. McGuire, of New York was the
only one elected, and the assembly adj
journed without getting any further
along. The next day the fight was be-
gun with a vigor. Evory point raised
by the master workman was stub
bornly fought by his opponents.
The defeated leader then spoke with
remarkable clearness as he said: "Gen-
tleman-You must either obey the
spirit of the constitution or declare the
Office of grand master workman vacant.
/ now tender you my resignation. p"
With that he left the hall. All dele
gates were more than surprised. They

talk it OUT. Loud words were heard,
but the men returned to the table and
resumed their game. Conger had been
drinking and wanted Draper to take a
drink Suddenly Conger arose and
went out without saying a word, but
soon returned and called Draper out
