"Put Him Out. "

"If we do restore the coinage
of silver dollars how are you
going to get any of them?' sung
out a gold bug orator the other
night.
"Work, for them, d-n you,
said a big longshoreman, 1--WE
will leave Mark Hanna and the
plutes to do the stealing.'
And though he had only
answered the question, they
put him out for disturbing the
meeting.

GIVE THE REASONS

The twelve aldermen VINO VOteQ
to submit the proposition to pur-
chase the gas and water plants for
the sum of 81 ,695,000 have signed
statement of the reasons that i'm
PEELED them to vote as they did, in
order that their constituents may
clearly understand the situation.
All those aldermen that voted to
pass the resolution over the Mayors
veto have signed the statement.
The statement is DIS follows:
We voted as we did for the follow
ing reasons:
First. The price of the two plants
(gas and water) is the lowest yet
submitted by the gas and water
company. The former proposition
for both plants was 100000, made
up as follows: The city was to as
sumo the bonds of the company
outstanding, being $295,000, at 6 per
cent, and ST $4,000 a per cent, with
the possible chance of refunding
$75O,0OO of the per cent bonds with
city bonds at per cent. The BAL
ance $294,OOO, the stockholders
agreed to take in city bonds bear
ing Per cent.
The present proposition is 1885,
GOETHE city to assume the $4,000
6per cent bonds of the Duluth Gas &
Water company, and for the balance
of the purchase price ($1.4OO,OOO) to
give city bonds bearing AZ per
cent.
The difference in price absolutely
between the former proposition and
the present one is SAIL 900, in favor
of the present proposition. The in
terest on this difference at AZ per
cent for 80 years amounts to $685.
$50 making a total saving over
former proposition, counting pr1n-
cipal and interest, of $965,85O.
Or figuring it in another way:

believe the end is yet; there will be
more stumbling blocks put in our
way, and delays will arise that we
cannot now foresee. The bond
holders cannot be expected to sur
render without struggle.
Reasons for submitting the pro-
position at the coming election:
We thought best to submit the
proposition at this election because
we wanted to know, and that as
soon as possible, without any ex-
pense, what the people thought of
it: 1t might 4g?t hamper na:4; us seriously e%!
from now until spring and not
know 10 - how st the people regard it; it: -.
water as soon as possible, and we
anticipate much difficulty and ex-
pense in attaching on to the pres
ent system, as has been suggested,
when our force main is completed
and before owning the old plant,
and it is serious question whether
any arrangement to do so could be
made at all should the Duluth Gas
This proposition comes to us un-
solicited from the bondholders of
the Duluth Gas & Water company.
It is Sill 600 less than the bonded
indebtedness of the plant.
Last of all, we do not feel that we
would be true to our constituents
if we should substitute our own
Judgment in this matter and not
give them an opportunity to
express their views now. This
is to a certain extent matter
of life and death, and in case we re-
fused to submit this proposition
at this time, and by the delay thus
caused further hindrances and de-
lays should arise, we feel that we
might justly be censured by the
people.
In case the people vote this mat
ter down, no money will have been
unnecessarily expended. We will
have had full and fair expression
of all the people, and will, 80 far as
in us lies, to carry out the wishes of
the sovereign people:

at 100000; suppose it will cost $780,
600. If we build an entirely new
plant, we will have to pay interest
on the money invested out of money
raised by taxation until the new
plant brings in revenue sufficient
to pay interest on the bonds and
running expenses. This may be
one year, and it may be five. Say
two years. interest at per cent on

Isl, 400,O 0O), which would be $4,000
in interest.
Then we have contract with the
present company for hydrant rent
ais, amounting to $4,000 per year,
which has per contract, 10 years yet
to run. IF we are compelled to pay
this up to the end of the period, it
will amount to $780,, 400. The city
attorney says if we can win in the
quo warrantO suit to annul the
franchise of the water company,
the hydrant rental contract dies
with the franchise. But that suit
is not ended yet, and we think that
to have the hydrant rental contract
wiped out by purchase OF the
plant is worth at least one half of
the total amount, or $233, 700.

Some will estimate these amounts
to be more than we have, some less.
We have not taken into account the
Inconvenience. sickness and money
loss to the community that come
from tearing up our streets IN
building a new plant, the damage
suits that might arise from injury
to service connections in attempt
ing to parallel the present plant,
the costs of carrying on the lega
warfare with the Duluth Gas q
Water company. nor the saving in
machinery and reservoir by buying
the present plant, which would
materially reduce the estimated
cost of the force main, which in
cludes pumping machinery and a
reservoir.
Third: While the bondholders
of the Duluth Gas & Water COM
pany may be deprived of their in
terest by our carrying on the tight
against them, the city is losing it's
reputation for health. The health
of our people stands paramount
to any mere money consideration;
and while we may in time so de-
preciate the value of the old plant
that we may get it cheaper than
now. in the end we will lose vastly
more than the water company.
Undoubtedly the city's financial
standing has been injured by the
controversy. The city has had to
agree to pay per cent interest on
it's bonds, the charter limit, in order
to raise money, and even then the
bondholders of the Duluth Gas q
Water company were the onl y ones
that stood ready to take the bonds.
This was remarkable clrcum-
stance to say the least. We cannot

Total. So, 68S,3OO
The former proposition was car
ried before the people, but was set
aside by the courts. This present
proposition is so much lower than
the former one that we feel that it
would be unjust for us to say it is
too high, and refuse to allow the
people to vote upon it.
Second. While the estimated
value of the gas and water plant is
only $l,114,O0O, we think it may be
worth more than that to the city OF

Some Arizona Springs.

other reptiles have vcnturcd into some
OF these springs and been turned to

trees have undergone the same process.
But the most remarkable instance is
that of Il cuttlcmun. He was in the hab-
it of standing iii one of these springs
and bathing. He did this for some time,
when he began to feel peculiar pains in
his feet and ankles, and he stopped, but
the pains continued, followed by q

Boston's Two Aged Actors.

Boston is somewhat remarkable in
having two OF the oldest actors in the
world filed with tho mental vigor of
their days Of histrionic triumph. Tnov
arc Joseph Proctor and Wyzoman Mar
shall, each so years old, and each idcn
titled with the Hub during their long
career. The theory that certain pro,
fcssion will leave it's imprint of SINH
larity Oh different faces is not borne out
III the case Of thcso veterans, for they
are totally unlike i'll appearance. Proc
tor has thin face, the eyes of hawk
and an altogether soldicrly aspect, while
Marshall looks like Il statesman of tho
old school. His resemblance to Wendell
Phillips has often been noted. Both
men madc their dcbuts in this CITY.
both have taken their farcwclls of tho
stage here, and both have conducted
dramatic schools for number of years
on the scene Of their former successes
All that has been greatest and best in
the history of the American stage has
been covered by the lives of these two
noble opponents of tho mimic art. Dos.

a Supreme Court OH Fortune Tellors.

An opinion handed down by the su-
prone court is likely to send cold chills
running up and down tho spinal col
umns Of modern day sccrs, fortune toll
ers and tho like who have been won't to
fiud rich harvest in Michigan It is
evident that tho learned justices do not
take much stock in the ability Of the
seventh son Of Il seventh son to toll the
future. This intimation Of tho views of
the court was contained in an opinion
written by Justice Grant and signed by
the other justices in the case of tho Peo-
plc versus Arthur Elmer
Last year Elmer appeared at IOnia
and advertised extensively his power to
forctcll tho future. Ho was literally
patronizcd, but after advising q woman
to leave her husband, saying that while
Ill trance he had seen the latter in the
act OF killing her, he was arrested as a
disordcrly person and convicted.
This Judgment was affirmed in an
opinion in which tho English statute
which declares that 'cvcry person pro-
tending or protesting to tell fortunes
shall bo deemed rogue and a vaga-
bond was approvingly quoted. The
opinion also approves the language of
the trial judge to the effect that no por-
son not lunatic could believe the 40
cuscd possessed tho power to foretou
tho future. c.--Lansing (Mich. Journal,
