BUILDERS NOT TO BLAME.
TheIMontgomery Will be Repaired at
Government Expense.

Government Expense.
WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-Secretary Her
bert decided that the repairs to the
Montgomery shall be made the expense
OF the Government, and at the Norfolk
navy yard. Upon investigation he has
determined that the accident which de-
molished the high pressure cylinder OF
the Montgomery on her recent trip, was
not due to any fault Of her builders, as
the vessel had been in the Governments
hands for six months.
When the trial was about half COM
pleted nut on the connecting rod
worked loose and led to the breaking
OF the cylinder. A naval board which
looked into the matter reported that in
their Judgment the builders were re-
sponsible. The Secretary has reversed
this finding and issued letters of repri-
mand to the engineers of the vessel
whom he held to be contribut ary negli-
gent. The Secretary's action is gen
orally approved by naval officers.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The officers Of the Agricultural So

deavoring to pnt the society on firm
business basis by paying up all indebt-
edness. This action was taken, only
after a careful canvass Of the situation
and it seemed the best thing to do un-
der the circumstances.
During the past year the officers did
every thing in their power to make the
fair q success, financially and in every
other way but feel that their efforts
were feebly seconded by the majority
of our citizens and business men.
The fair is a good thing; it puts life
and energy into dull season Of the
year and deserves encouragement.
The officials hope for endorsement
next year by larger share of interest
and patronage on the part Of those who
should have the welfare of the associa-
ton at heart

each citizen would have the clear right r.
cross every state in seeking the capital Of
his country; and freedom to- remain therein
just as the richest plutocrat or the most
powerful official. Not so under the per-
verified law. which commands the police of
Washington to arrest the man, who, un-
employed or without visible means of sup
port, dares to enter the sacred precincts
when guilty Of the horid crime of hunger
poverty, misery-which condemns him to
be sent to Jail for indefinite periods. 1t is
permitted in every city of the union, that
the partisans Of the great political parties
may organize into companies, battalions,
regiments; and, at an inauguration, seeking
for plumber, that they may come by hun
dredS OF thousands. Both the Democratic
and the Republican parties are formed to-
day into vast camps, tens of thousands of
clubs, while the armies OF the destitute
are forbidden to do the same, under penalty
of militia Cuttings and muskets, or police
clubs and revolvers!
Are tribunes of the people content to see
and hear such monstrous atrocities upheld,
and to permit the deeds Of our ancestors
in behalf Of freedom, justice and liberty to
be buried beyond recall by the degradation
of their posterity? / think not; and the

compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides of the questions at issue fair
hearing. We would suggest to our

brief and to the point; not to ex-

letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
nave motive and teach something

readers better and wiser by what
you write Never mind about the

A LEGAL QUESTION.
The Right of Town Supervisors to
Bond the Township.

GLENWOOD, Mimi, May II. 1894.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly: Dear Sir-I send
you few words, asking you to give me a
little Information through your paper in
regard to a deal made by our town super
visors. They have bought a grading ma
chine for the town, which cost $500, and
given notes in payment. signed by them
selves. and without the authority of the
town to do Is that bargain binding on
the town as it is, or would it be more
binding if a town order had been given?
Tine way | understand the law is that the
supervisors are not allowed to spend more
money than what is raised at the town
meeting. Am l right or not?
Have the supervisors the right to contract
debt on town without being authorized
by the town to do 50? Can a town clerk
refuse to give a town order when called on
by the supervisors to issue one?
Yours truly,
OLE GILBERTSON.

T.. X. Kane, attorney at law, of the Ger

correspondents inquiry, together with your
request has been received, and should hav We
had my earlier attention had 1 not at the
time and for the past three days been en-
gagged in the district court
1t may be stated as a general proposition
that the board of town supervisors in any
of the townships in this state cannot bind
the municipality to the payment of any
extraordinary and unusual expense Gn
which category l place the case mentioned
by. your correspondent even if incurred in
behalf of and in the name of the town
unless previously authorized there at the
annual or some special town meeting by
the legal number of votes provided for by
the statute; such obligations to be bind
ing on the town, must be submitted to the
legal voters thereof for an expression of
their opinion and wishes. The town clerk
would not only be justified in refusing to
issue orders in payment of said obiga ton
but his duty calls upon him to refuse issu-
Ing orders for the payment of obligations
Illegal and unlawful in their inception
