Business Conscience,

The Sunday morals of many a COM
munity are an improvement upon
those of ordinary ~workdays. Some
how conscience seems to sleep when
the hand is busy, particularly If the
hand be employed upon some profitable
work. A London artist tells of a Curl
Gus incident that came under his
notice some little while Ago.. / had an
old English bracket clock that | took
myself to a wholesale firm of clock
makers to be repaired. Whilst in the
shop / noticed a peculiar piece cf
mechanism, the purpose Of which puz-
zled me, so l sought for information.
"Oh!" replied one of the firm, that's
a special order for a temple in China;
it is to work an idol and make him
move" Presumably that clock-maker
was an excellent Christian in his own
estimation. / do not know whether
there was anything in my look that be
considered called for an explanation,
but he added: Business is business,
you know. You'd be astonished to
learn what funny orders we sometimes
have in our trade. Only the other day
a firm asked us If we would make some
imitation genuine E~lizabethan clocks;
they sent us n to copy. But we re-
piled declining, merely saying that we
had so far conducted our business hon.
estly, and intended always to do So"
So, according to the ethics of oIr in
formant, it Is not dishonest to make
clockwork intended secretly to make
an idol move, but IL is dishonest to
make imitation medieval clocks!

MINIS G)T 4 GOOD RAISE
A GENERAL INCREASE OF TWENTY
TWO AND A HALF PER CENT
WAS DECIDED UPON
BOB DUNN WAS OVERLOOKED
State Auditor Gets Another. Gentle
Snub From the Board Of EquaIi-
zatiOn-Bank Assessments
Considered.

The board Of equaliZa ton yesterday
raised the assessments on the mines of
the state, with one or two exceptions,
221s per cent. This action on the part Of
the board is generally acknowledged to
be one of the most important taken for
years. The assessed valuation of the
mining real estate in Minnesota was
81, 100, OO0 The increase is 1851, 800 and
the total $S,6g7,500. These figures speak
for themselves. tu
When J. C. Mishler submitted the re-
port of the committee on mines 1t was
thought that trouble was in sight. There
was no hesitation of the board, how
ever, In adopting the report in toto. The
easy way In which this measure was
handled corroborates the statement, Civ
en- out some days ago that the informa-
ton gathered about the mines of the
state under the experienced supervision
of Gov. Lind was complete in every little
detail. The committee on mines could
not, under any circumstances, be misled
with such full data at hand when it was
needed.
The action of the board goes to show
at least everybody draws the inference
that the motion Of State Auditor Dunn
made to the board when the question of
mining assessments was up, some days
ago, to the effect that assessments be
given 10 per cent horizontal raise was
just little too previous The state board
has adopted raise of double that
amount thereby limiting to the auditor,
in a not over gentle way. that he wasn't
sufficiently posted on the situation. But,
not taking these things into considera-
ton, everybody on the board is pleased
that the report of the committee on mines
was adopted.
Following are the most important val
uattons as fixed by the board: Adams,
1854; Biwabik, $050,054; Chandler, S323,-
200; Commodore. $14O, 1872; Elba, s9s 10l;
