A Pneumatic Device Which Is Very Pop

Inventive genius in England has
turned its attention to the perfection Of
q road skate, an adaptation of the con-
vention roller skate, which will enable
the skater to skim along over any road
smooth enough for bicycle. Two
years ago the "sl<aycycle," as it is called,
made its appearance. 1t had a pneu-
matte tire. The original pattern was in
troduced in the United States, but has
never been popular, probably on ac-
count of its high price-s25. There is

Bradstreet's review of trade for the

throughout the United States for the
first quarter of 1896 is disappointing.

and commercial lines between March
and September, 1895. is recalled. oc-

ENTIRELY TOO GAUZY.

AS a juggler of figures. OFT is only
second to the yellow boy. The receipts
of the city from all sources now
amounts to about S25. 900. and upon
his sum the t~reasurer's percentage for
receiving and ~disbursing amounts to 3
per cent, or $3.50. How can OFT save
$1,000 out of $3.50?
For making the assessment the clerk
receives one-half of one mill upon the
assessed valuation. Upon the valua-
ton that was fixed by Judge Scots
ruling, the city assessor would receive
less than 5000 and an additional $3.50
for his duties as clerk. How can Mr..
OFT ave 81, 900 out of that?
The Republican understands that no
increase in expense was made by
changing the fire department from a
volunteer to a paid department. and
therefore the idea that 81 900 can be
saved there is erroneous.
If 1920 is saved in the police de-
partment, it will be at the expense of
good service, and very doubtful econo-
my. OFT says a policeman is paid ST.
200 a year. The policemen receive
5000.
Mr.. OFT says a saving of 81. 900 can
be made on extra bond expenses. As
the total bond expense last year did
not reach that amount. and as it can
hardly be more than half thai for the
coming year, how can Mr.. OFT save
1000 in this item.
In library rent. the professor would
save $240 by taking the library down
to the new hose house. He would have
the people believe that the location of
the library in The Republican building
was a political move and that it was
done by the city council. The library
rooms are not rented by the council
at all, but by the library trustees and
the present location was urged as the
cheapest and best by such men as
Nellis Corthell. directly opposite in
politics to The Republican. The Pc
tition for the purpose was circulated
by a man from Mr.. Corthell's office.
Mr.. OFT avs room" but the library
has two large rooms and they are heat
&c. The council pays the rent by
agreement, but has nothing whatever
to do with the renting of the rooms.
If Mr.. OFT could save the city 5000
IN printing, it would be by scabbing
on the regular rates charged by the
other publishers of the city.
And after enumerating all the ex-
penses that he could think of he adds,
"Other departments, $500" Now
such a large sun as $500 could at
least be enumerated in part. That's
a big sun of money to lump off that
way.
The fact of the matter is that the
present city council has cut expenses
just as low as it was possible for them
to do during the past year. In this
they have been opposed by such men
as OFT and the entire democratic party,
but they have kept on trimming down
in every department just the same.
Otis abuse just at the present time is
o%ccasioned because the council refused
to make him a present of $25. And it
will be remembered that when the
council was endeavoring to make a
favorable contract with the light
company it was opposed by the Boom
erang tooth and nail.

n GRAND JURY.

Today the q. s Grand Jury will
meet lii this city and the famous Coffin
contempt case will come before it.
There is a feeling prevalent in this
community that the officers of the
Government are no endeavoring to
push this case as the law provides,
but instead are liable to allow some
loophole by which the prisoner can
escape the penalty Of his crime, The
Cou Is held accountable by some peo-
pie, while others exonerate the Court
and blame the q. S. District Attorney
All eyes are upon the Jury and the
public will accept no excuse from any
body this time for the failure of the
law to do its whole duty upon the
premises. The public is anxious tu
see the District Attorney draw up Oh
indictment that has no flaw and they
also desire to see the Court hold the
Jury until the indictment drawn ur
by the District Attorney Is examined
and found to be alright. The holding
Of the last Jury until the indictmen,
was examined would have enabled
them to at one have remedied the
defect. The CASE is one of the great
est Importance aud if justice fails, the
laws against the corruptiDg of wit
nesses and jurors might as we'll be
stricken from the Statute books.
The public should back up the Cour'
and its officers in purging the city o.
Carson of the contempt now resting
on it because of this case.

ACKNOWLEDGING THE CORN.

The following dispatch from New York
shows how the banks worked 4 conspiracy
to compel the Government to issue bonds
by which they were able to clean up sew
eral million dollars. The dispatch reads:
The banks are contemplating the re-
sumption of specie payments, which they
suspended in febu' airy 1892, by refusing
to suppl, gold for export and for the pay
ment of government dues. This action
threw the burden of supplying gold upon
the treasury and eventually forced the
issuing of bonds by the Government.
which aroused so much complaint.
Since the election the metal has been
coming into the banks in such a food that
they see their way clear to what can be
termed a RESUMPTION of specie payments.
By this action of the banks the gold will
be put into circulation and no reason
whatever will exist for hording it.
