HOUSE CARPENTERS WANT MORE MONEY.

1t has been the general custom for
house carpenters and mouse painters to
have the same scale of wages. Now thai
the wages of the painters have beel
fixed at the rate OF 27 8 cents an hour
and the working day at nine hours,
which makes the daily wages 50 so, it is
very likely that this will also be made
the scale of wages for house carpenters.
In any event it will be hard for the car
penters to compel the ss carpenters to
pay higher figure.
The Carpenters and liners Union
have had the matter uf making a de-
mand for higher wages under consiiera-
tion for some tine. Some of the carpen-
ters desire that the scale be fixed at 40
cents an hour or So go for day of nine
hours The majority of the house car
penters of tnis city favored 80 cents ar
hour until the house painters modiiie :
The sun., 1900-04-05

their demand for 30 cents an hour aud
came down to 277 8 cents an hour. They
now see thai they cannot very well sue
ceed in their demands if they ask for
more than the painters agreed to accept.
Some of the boss carpenters have ad-
vised the carpenters to agree to demand
not more than 27 8 cents an hour.
Some VI the carpenters are now receiv-
ing So 25 for nine hours and here the
same amout for ten hours. Some are re-
ceiving 50 30 for ten hours.
The demands of the Carpenters and
Joiners' Union will be formally pre-
sented to the boss carpenters and con-
tractors at meeting to be held in the
near future at the Builders Exchange.
No. COS Market street. The scale will
more than likely be fixed at 27 cents

The court of appeals not only held
that the offices of governor and lieuten-
ant governor was not property under
the constitution of Kentucky, but more
over that court was of opinion that the
decision of these contested elections did
not deprive plaintiffs in error of any
pretext in the existing right. Our sys-
tenn of election was unknown to the
common law, and the whole subject Is
regarded by constitution passed there
UNDER
After quoting section d. article IA OF
the constitution, in which the United
States guarantees to every state re-
publican form of government, etc, the
court says it was long since settled that
the enforcement of this guarantee be-
longed to the political department.
"In Luther VS.. Borden. Howard 1,
it was held that the question which of
the two opposing governments of Rhode
Island was the legitimate one, was
question for the determination of the
political department and when that de-
partment had decided the courts We're
bound to take the notice of that deci-
sion and follow it, and also that as the
supreme court of Rhode Island had de-
cided the point, the well settled rule APP
piled that the courts of the United
States adopt and follow the decisions
of the state courts on questions which
concern merely the constitution and
laws of the state.''
After quoting with approval from the
decision in the Island case the court
says: ''The commonwealth of Ken
lucky is in full possession of it's facul-
ties as member of the union and no
exigency has arisen requiring the inter-
ference of the general government to
enforce the guarantees Of the constitu-
tion or to repel invasion or to put down
