Will shortly BE Repaired and the Legal
Question Tested.
Chairman Ellis, of the board of county
commissioners, has called a special meet
ing of the board for the 18th inst. to take
action on the question of entering into
an agreement With the city. whereby the
West Side wagon bridge may be put in a
proper state Of repair, pending the test
ing of the question by the city and coun-
ty in the courts in order to settle the
question as to whether the city or county
should keep bridge in repair. AS the mat
ter now stands the county has received a
written opinion from the attorney gen.
eral to the effect that it is the duty of
the city to keep the bridge in repair as
it forms a part of the city streets. This
opinion is also held by the county attor-
ney, and the commissioners
feel that should they order
the repairs made they might
lay themselves personally liable, and any
taxpayer enjoin the payment Of the bills
incurred. They claim that the opinion
of the county attorney and attorney gen.
eral has the force of law for them until
the courts set it aside. City Attorney
Largent has advised the city that it is
not their duty to make the repairs, and
there the matter stands. The new city
attorney, Sam Stephenson, and County
Attorney Freeman have, however, de-
vised a plan to secure the needed repairs
and test the question at the anne time
which, if it meets the approval'of the
city council and board Of county com
m%iseioners. will be carried into effect.

SIRlK Frs RIOT
Twelve Hundred Blast Men and
MANY Women Bid Defiance to
Chicago Police.
AFFECTS FIVE THOUSAND MEN
Four Policemen and One Striker
Wounded-Dynamite Threat
ems Danger.

CHICAGO. May S.-Twelve hundred
blast men employed by the Illinois Steel
company struck yesterday. The strike
is expected to extend to other depart
ments. Two furnaces were shut down
at noon. The men demanded better
wages and asked more help. The strike
will probably throw about 1000 men out
of employment. Last night the strikers
grew riotous and the police had to use
vigorous measures to quiet them. -Four
men were badly injured. Today another
riot followed a mass meeting of the
strikers held in Eighty-fourth street.
About so men were present, and the
speeches became so violent and the men
so ~demonstrative hat the leaders forced
an ad iournment. The crowd would not
dispense, however, and a riot call
brought a detail of fifteen police Off
GERS, headed by Lieutenant Wagner, to
the scene. The police ordered the crowd
to disperse. The order was met with
boots and threats, the women among the
strikers daring the officers to shoot. The
police finally charged with drawn revol-
vers, and were met with a volley of stones
and Stag. Lieutenant Wagner and three
of his men fell. The other officers
opened fire. sending about % shots into
the crowd. At the beginning OF the
firing the strikers fled, four of the lead
ers being arrested. The wounded are:
John Wilkolski, shot through the head,
will die; Lieutenant Wagner, head cut
by stones: Officer Martin Crotty, dubbed
into insensibility; Officer John Nc
Catfrey, badly bruised; Officer William
Walsh, head badly cut by stones.
None of the policemen are believed to
be fatally hurt. After the shooting
the rioters gathered in groups,
threatening vengeance. The mills are
kept under police protection, and the
company's store Of dynamite is heavily
guarded all day.

the deal and refused to be handed
over. On the 18th day of Ma.

Lawful Money.

Ii Is believed by many people
that a man can legally contract to
take any kind of money he chooses.
1t is thought he can make the con-
tract read gold, silver, paper, treas
urv notes, or anything he chooses
and make it hold good in court.
This is mistake.
a contract may be made to read
coin, but the supreme court Of the
United States has repeatedly decid-
ed that such debt can be paid in
lawful money, which includes
.greenbacks. Ii is held that the
contract is for money, and whatever
the law specifiesto be lawful money
will discharge the debt.
The law says Of gold that it shall
be legal tender for debts and dues,
public and private That being the
law no one can make legal con-
tract againstit. In regard to United
States notes the law says it is le-
gal tender for all debts and dues,
public and private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public
debt. In 1879 the law providing
iol the coinage of silver dollars was
made to read that the silver d,llars
were a legal tender for all debts and
dues, public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated
in the contract. This made it pos
sible to contract against silver.
Had the exc .ption clause been
omitted it would not have been
possible to contract against silver.
/ The different legal tender laws
present some peculiar aspects Of our
currency. A man can not pay any
kind ofdebt above$lO with fraction
al silver, but without contract he
may pay any debt in silver dollars.
A debt less than ten dollars payable
in gold or paper, cannot be paid
with silver dollars, but team be paid
with fractional silver. Any debt,
except duties on imports or interest
on the public debt, may be paid
with "greenbacks," no matter what
the contract be. While silver GER
ltificates are not legal tender for
private debts they will pay duties
on imports and interest on the pub
lie debt. The law should be
changed so as to wipe out all Of
these peculiarities, and make every
dollar issued legal tender for debt
the same as gold.-Times-Post,
Fort Wayne.
