CITY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Es
Mason Employed Mt s8. so q Day Receivers so
Cents More for Ench or coz Ia Dn1a.

GEMS WORE Tor Each or s01 Ia Days.
A judgment which John V. Mcmahon obtained
against the city for $293. SO, including costs, be.
cause he had not been paid for his work as a
mason at the prevailing rate of wages, has been
affirmed by the Appellate Division of the SUI
preme Court. He was IN the employ of the city
from May 10, 1894, to April ID. 1895, and re-
ceived $3.50 a day. He signed receipts in full
for his wages at that rate each week. On allega-
tions that 81 was the prevailing rate of wages
for masons during this period, he brought suit
against the city TO recover the extra SO cents
for 267ia days. His work was in the Park De-
partnent. He alleged that under the statute
the city is required to pay the prevailing rate,
and that 1t is the duty or the city to ascertain
what the prevailing rate is. There was no evi.
dencc that his, attention was directed to the
printing on the receipts for wages that he
signed TO the effect that the payment was in full
for the week.
The Appellate Court decides that It was in
cunibent on the city 20 ascertain the prevailing
rate and to pay IL. A contention of tho city
was that the only remedy that the mechanic
had for violation by the city of the law was to
proceed to have the officer who paid the lower
wages dismissed, and not to sue the city. The
court, in an opinion by Justice Barrett. says:
1t was TO stop throwing the ordinary bur
dens and delays of litigation upon poor people,
such as these laborcrs are apt to be, that the
provision for the punishment of DELINQUENT
oflcials was probably inserted"

At the banquet of the British associa-
ton, rendered by the citizens of To-
ronto last week, Hon. James Bryce,
author of a constitutional history OF the
United States. and member of the
Gladstone Roseberrv ministry, made
the following reference to LIMOGES:
"These iingoes in all countries are
fond OF making mischief. Some of them,
am AFRAID, do it in mere recklessness
of heart. Some of them, | am afraid,
do it from less creditaole motives, in
the belief that they can make some pet
ty political CT pta SOut of it. But beyond
all these noisy. querulous, and quarrel
some voices there stands in Great Brl-
tain-theTc stands, | am no less sure, IN
the United States also Tie great solid,
sensible mass Of the nation, which de-
sires to attend to its business, and de-
sires not to have it disturbed or shaken
by rumors of wars; the great mass which
desires to fear God and honor the SOW
ereIgn, whether the sovereign be called
a Queen or President. And | trust
that in all three countries this great,
solid and weigity mass of responsible
national opinion will prevent these noisy
voices from ever provoking real danger
between these kindred people"

tered in Alaska Is given in a letter re-
ceived in Victoria, Be. recently. A
packer named Rice contracted to take
4 mans outfit over the Skaguay trail if
the man went to worl, on the trail. The
man went e work, but when he finished
Rice refused to fulfil his contract.
When Rice's train reached the summit
with the load it was seized hv the
Mounted Police and vigilance CON-
mittee and unloaded. Rice will not lie
allowed to do any packing until he full
fills his contract with the man who
worked on the trail
