4 Co. representing the bondholders
Of the Duluth Gas & WatercOmpany,
made u formal offer Of its plants to
the city for 81 ,25O, oM ana it was &C
cepted and referred to the people
who will decide at an election to be
held Jenuary II. There will be a
warm fight over the proposition but
it will undoubtedly carry by a large
majority. The city is having trouble
with one of the contractors ON Il
supplementary plnnt.-A. T. Nc
Oregon, fire commissioner, has built
two engines for the pumping station.
He claims that he has money COM
ing on them, and refuses to give
them up. The city claims to have
paid him in full, and the council to-
night turned the matter over to the
city attorney. 1t is probable that
tomorrow the hoard of public " orks

Change in Management.

A change IN the management Of
the Little Falls house will occur in
the near future. P. H. Gross, pro-
prletor and present manager Of the
house. owing to i'll health has de-
cided to go to California again to
spend the winter. Last season wien
Mr.. Gross went to California he left
the management of his hotel with
Mrs. Gross and his son Phil. The
latter's mercantile business ard the
opera house management requires
about all his time, and as Mrs. Gross
will accompany him to California. a
new manager is necessary.
Not wishing to lease his hotel for
any long period Mr.. Gross has de-
cided to place the management OF his
hotel in the hands OF his sOn-fn.law,
Conductor K. Rollins. Of the Northern
Pacific. Mr.. Rollins has been
granted three months vacation by
the company and he will take charge
of the hotel until Mr.. Gross returns.
Should MIR. Cross health improve,
as he anticipates, he will return In
the spring nnd resume the manage
ment of the hotel, but II his he2.. "a.
does not improve, it is probable that
Mr.. Rollins will continue in the hotel
business, for under the present condi'
ton of Mr.. Gross health it will be
almost impossible for him to look
after the business. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rollins came up from Minneapolis
Tuesday evening and Mr.. Rollins
will take charge in a few days.

Attorney Blanchard raised the
point that the ordinance un'ier which

the reason that the city council ex-

When court opened at that hour
this morning Attorney Blanchard
for the defense and City Attorney
Adams made lengthy arguments In
the case. ut the conclusion of which
Justice Shaw announced the deci-

was not declared invalid, but the
decision was that the city council

Parish Primary.

The parish primary on Monday last for
the purpose of nominating delegate to
the constitutional convention ard of elect
ing delegates from each ward to tho NOM
mating convention at Baton Rouge, re-
suited in y full vote being cast at most Of
the polls, as will be seen by the returns Of
the election printed in another column.
The endorsement Of Judge S. Nice. Lawra-
son, as candidate for delegate at large, as
evidenced by the selection of dele gates
avowedly in favor ofhim, was practically
unanimous throughout the parish. The
large vote polled for Robert G. Wicklitfe
for parish delegate shows how powerful
hold the dashing personality and promis-
ing talents Of this young gentleman have
taken upon popular fancy. Mr.. Wicklitfe,
by this leap, in one bouud as it were into
q high and responsible position has before
him a task that is we'll worthy his best
cndeavors. Ho has not only to achieve o
name and place for himself in ono Of tho
highest councils of the state, but no has
in so doing to justify tho confidence that
his constituents have shown in him, a
young and untried man, by passing over
for his sake the claims of one of tho best
and sonn.lest ofDemocrats and Of the most
practical of business men the parish has
ever produced. Tho magnitude Of tho
task before Mr.. Wickliffo, We repeat, is
one that will tax his powers and largely
determine his future. But rs lie has no
fault that VIC know Of except youth, and
that is one, which William Pitt has said,
time will constantly tend to rcctify, it
rests entirely with him to represent West
Feliciana as she should be represented in
the constitutional convention. For her
sake and his own We wish him success.

Not one single pledge otprosperi.
ty made by the republicans has
been fulfilled. We may take the
fist, or we may take the latest-the
result IS the same. The latest of
which we have any sure record was
Mr.. McKinley's declaration on the
4th of Marcel, last that the treasury
was to have sufficient revenue
"without delay, hindrance, or post
ponement." The reason why these
words s0und so fine is because they
are Mr.. McKinlcy's own. ''With-
out delay, hindranco or postpone.
ment"-an(l yet the deficit in reve.
nue. for the fiscal year to date is
$44,000,000! And it is limited by
some of the faithful that no true pa.
triot need be disappointed If the
deficit reaches $5O,000,000 by the
end of January nearly one year
after the date Of McKinley's sono.
rous pledge that the republicans
would provide sufficient revenue
"without delay, hindrance, or post.
ponemcnt."
But this is not all, nor even a
beginning OF tho failure of the re-.
publican pledges to materiaIizc.
We were to have a revival of bust
ness rs the result Of the Dingley
tariff law, but tho only sign of re-.
viva| comes as tho result of shor,
crops of wheat abroad. Mr.. Nc.
kinley was to promote international
hlmetallism. Instead of that lie
has demonstrated the fntility of the
scheme, for which lie deserves the
thanks of honest men everywhere.
lie was to open the mills to labor,
but We find, nearly nine months
after his inauguration, that the vast
cotton mills of New England have
como upon the worst period of their
history. Their condition is called
~ crisis,' and they are preparing
to reduce wages all along the line
from the sa|arictl officials to the
back boys.

are 10 better than they were I" \ "
Cotton is 5 cents y pound, and that
