rid OF such nincompoops as Wharton
The resolution did not prevail and up
on motion OF Covey was laid upon the
table indefinitely.
The following is the resolution:
BE 1T RESOLVED, That the city
council OF the city OF Grand Junction,
that it is unadvisable to proceed to the
the building OF sewerage system for
said city, until first obtaining an ade-
quate water system, owned and controll-
ed by the city.
Alderman Ramey then introduced the
following resolution regarding the build
ing OF a water plant.
WHEREAS, 1t is advisable for the
city OF Grand Junction to construct a
system Of mountain water works to be
owned by the city, that will furnish pure
mou tain water, and
WHEREAS, The amount OF money
now on hand is not sufficient to build
such system, and
WHEREAS, No moe bonds of the
city can be placed upon the market with
ouS q uAoCOuht uutA n EcNcuu6
producing plant has been constructed
and in operation by the city, and
WHEREAS, A system Of water works
can be constructed with the s65, 900, now
in the city treasury that would be good
system aud produce revenue sufficient
to pay operating expenses and the in
terest on the $65, 600, bonds aud would
be nee ssary part OF mountain wa or
system when completed, therefore
BE 1T RESOLVED, That the city
council OF the city OF Grand Junction,
proceed at once to build water system
for the city in conformity with the
Phillips plans, or the Allen plans begin
ming by putting in these works as far
as the money in the city treasury
will reach: then asking the people to
authorize bonds Sufficient to complete
the mountain water system.
The resolution was lost by vote of
four to three.
There was considerable talk upon the
resolution. In order to compromise and
get the matter settled Alderman Starr
and Mckinney offered to vote for the
resolution, il they would consent to
build Temporary plant on The banks Of
the Grand, but the other members of
the council would not agree to this.
Hero was fair proposition and had the
councilmen who are opposing the noun
tain water scheme been wise they would
have at once taken up the proposition OF
Starr and Mckinney. 1t was finally NOV
ed that council adjourn until next Mon
day night.

Gratis are out of power, and a gang as
servile, unprincipled and dishonest as any
that ever infested a community have un-
disputed control of our local concerns.
The Schuetz case is the last act in the
political farce of the reformers. The leg
islature of 1893 has adjourned and
it IS no longer necessary to keep up the
pitiful pretense. That legislature has
done one act which will meet with ap-
the placing of the Office of county asses
sor on an elective basis. Whether that
law will prove worth any more than the
other reform measures is open to doubt
Ihat 1t did. as everyone knows, not be-
cause any body of citizens asked that 1t
be done. but In order to insult and chas-
tise Mayor Kiefer
There is full year yet to come before
we enter upon another city election, and
the expectation of the spurious reformers
Is that all this disgraceful record will be
forgotten long before that time has ex-
pired. 1t may be SO, or it may not. But
the people Of this city and county, who
are now paying nearly twice as dearly for
the running of their local government
machine as they should be paying, will
have themselves to blame if il should
prove to be So

FALSE ECONOMY

Ihe one virtue which the recent Iegis-
lature desired the people to believe #
possessed is that of economy and re-
trenchment. Its lapses In other direc-
tlons were more than compensated for
IN the opinion Of that body, by its great
saving of the public funds. So at least
oio the Republican organs industriously
set themselves to showing. Certain of
the results of that tendency toward econ
omy nave already shown themselves
Inc erect on the bank examiners de-
partment may, Of course, be dismissed as
purely the outcome of a foolish partisan
snip which is prepared to GO anv lene+bs
rather than that the opposition shall be
treated Ialrly. But in another direction.

erect OF the economical tendencies of tho
legislature are already made plain Tho

A SPECIMEN REFORM BRICK.

The decision of Judge Lewis in the case
county commissioners recalls to mind the
peculiar operations of the local Repub-
lican politicians, having their beginning
some years ago, in their effort to hum
bug the taxpayers of Ramsey county in
tn the belief that they had some serious
purpose of reform and retrenchment in
public expenditures which they sought to
carry into effect if they were entrusted
with office. Schuetz was clerk In the
abstract clerks Office whose compensa-
ton was fixed by law at 81, ,aG0 year. He
was induced for one reason or another to
accept less salary than the law allowed
him. The action just decided was
brought by him TO recover the difference
between what he accepted and what he
was entitled to receive. The court de-
cides substantially that he is entitled to
recover that amount.
1t will be remembered that from the
time when the era of Republican local
reform broke upon US up to within a very
recent period there was a great outward
show maintained by the reform office
holders of a desire to lessen our munic-
ipal expenditures. Laws were passed;
a committee of 1etrenchment and re-
form was called into existence which held
continuous sessions for weeks in the
mayors office and afterwards published
a very long and radical report, which
was all but forgotten the day after it
appeared in the daily press; papers of
agreement were hawked around the CITY
hall for signature by city and county en-
ployes binding those who signed them to
accept less than the amount fixed as their
compensation, and a number of other ex.
pedients We're resorted to in this general
direction
OF course, the laws passed, almost with
out exception, were declared invalid and
imperative, and there is an able-bodied
suspicion that they We're SO designed by
their authors and promoters. The re-
trenchment committees went out of exist
ence with no result except that OF run
ming up a bill of expense of greater or
less amount. The agreements signed
have been found to have no binding effect
whatever, and the expenses cf local. gov
ernment are greater today relatively
than they were before.
All this political fanfaronade was main
tanned for the accomplishment of that
time-honored purpose of putting the
Democrats in hole" The desired re-
suit has been accomplished. The Demo-

CONDOLENCES TO A NEIGHpoR.

SONDOLENCES To A NEIGHBOR.
The G o be is not a gloater, but it
hopes the Pioneer Press will excuse it
this once for spending few moments in
ghoulish glee. Laughter about the aged
and decrepit often has an uncanny sound.
Eut something so ludicrous has just hap
pened that We must have a merry min
ute. Yesterday morning the Pioneer
Press dug UP an interview in London
with John Barrett-who six weeks ago
stopped in Manila long enough to get a
drink of misunderstanding the soldier
boys in the far-oft Philippines. From
what Mr.. Barrett said the esteemed
Pioneer Press gathered a double-column
not babes; they are not crying to re-
turn home from the Philippines.
While the Pioneer Press was getting
this moldy chestnut ready for its 81, 900
subscribers (sworn TOD the b e was
putting into print this dispatch, which
had come hurtling over the wires from
Manila at 1 o'clock in the morning: THE

Marquette Range Mining Property

MARQUETTE Mich, April 2O-Perslst.
ent rumors were af1oat at Ishpeming to-
day that Carnegie is to take in the Lake
Superior mines, the biggest producing
property on the Marquette iron range.
Mr. Carnegie bought the Queen group at
Negaunee April Is. 7. F. Cole, general
manager for Carnegie in the upper Pc
ninsula, and DR.. L. P. Hulst, who closed
the deal for the Queen property, have
been making careful examination of
the Lake Superior property. Color is
lent to the story from the fact that cir
culars were issued three weeks ago tell
ing stockholders that deal was on for
the transfer of controlling interest, and
offering to effect a transfer OF all inter-
ests on the same basis. The purchase of
Lake Superior would make Carnegie the

LET THE ASSEMBLY, CONCUR.

In granting a franchise for long-dis-
tance telephone service to the American
Telegraph and Telephone company. the
board of aldermen has merely taken the
necessary step to providing st. Paul with
facilities which are found absolutely
necessary to the business community.
If such franchises are to be awarded at
all, and it is quite plain that only by
awarding them will the requirements in
that behalf of the business community
this particular franchise should not be
granted
The American Telephone and Telegraph
concern is. as we understand, organized
to connect the several territorial systems
q telephone, and must be conceded the
right to operate here If our business men
are to be provided with the facilities for
ng-distance teiephoning. Every other
large city in the country is connected by
them Their establishment here enables
a direct system to be maintained with
lOng-d1Stance points.
Nor does the requirement that this con-
Germ shall be provided with local fran
chise appear to be unreasonable. They
are so provided elsewhere, thus enabling
them, in case of dissatisfaction with the
existing local concern, to provide a local
service The terms on which the fran
and no worse than those which prevail
in other communities To avoid granting
the privilege leaves the business commu-
nifty to the necessity Of having to resort
to Minneapolis for the establishment Of
the distance connection.
Under all the circumstances, and with
an immediate view to the requirements of
our business institutions, the assembly
seems at entire liberty to coricur In the
action Of the board If better terms
can be exacted than those embodied In
the measure, as adopted by the board Of
aldermen, there Is so much gained. But
the period has been reached in the con-
sideration of this matter of a long-dis-
tance telephone system for ST. Paul
when further delay is inexcusable unless
for the most important reasons
