forfeit $40 per day for every delay De-
yond the sixty days, which II allowed
would amount to $500. Upon the
whole evidence we are satisfied there is
no balance due the plaintiff on these
minor claims,
One other contention of the plaintiff
| remains to be noriced. He contends
| that the written contract was thrown
up almost Immediately after he began
work, and a new oral one made by
which he was to build the abutments
and pier generally according to the
drawings and specifications with such
additions as the. committee should di-
rect, and as soon as ne reaSoilaDi!
could. and lie paid therefor what II was
all reasonably worth. He TESTIFIED to
such transaction. and produced one
witness who testified he heard one OF
the committee tell the plalntiff that
the pay would be all right: TO go ahead
ana do the work to suit nm ana MS
pay would be all right. On the other
hand, each one of the committee tour)
denied any such arrangement. Even
if the committee had authority from
the town to make any such change in
the contract. we think 1t very I'M
probable that after preparing Such
full ana minute drawings and speci-
ficat;Ons, and securing such an eX-
plicit written contract with an eX-
plicit price named, the committee
would have so soon thrown the con-
tract aside and promised to pay what
a jury or court might say the labor
and materials were worth. To do so
would have assumed for the town all
the risk they by the contract had so
carefully and effectually placed on the
plaintiff. We are satisfied the
plaintiff is in error. Indeed on all the
issues we are so clearly satisfied the
plaintiff should not recover, We would
hardly sustain a verdict of a jury in
his favor.

Granite Co. Rescript by Savage. J.
l. 1t is not strictly accurate to say
that the law, in measuring the care
incumbent upon a master and that
owed by a servant, recognizes different
standards of care or negligence. Care
in every such case is to be measured
by reasonableneSs under all the cir
Cumstances of the particular inquiry.
And reasonable care is synonymous
with Ordinary or due" care.
.. 1t is the duty of master to use
reasonable care in furnishing his
servants reasonably safe appliances
with which to work. and in keeping
them reasonably safe thereafter. and
IL the appliances are of such charac-
ter as to be likely to become weak, or
worn, or out of order by time or use,
reasonable care requires the master to
make examinations or inspections at
reasonable intervals, in order that de-
fects may be discovered and remedied.
While the servant is bound to use his
eyes and his mind. and to see the
things before him which are obvious.
and is chargeable with knowledge of
the conditions and things which he
sees or ought by the exercise of rea
sOnable care to see. he is not Ordinar-
lily bound to examine or inspect APP
plianCes, or to discover dangers not
obvious unless charged with that duty
by the master or by the character OF
his work. He may rely upon the
presumption that the master has in
spected. 1t follows therefore that the
care which the master owes cannot be
measured by the care which the
servant owes. A greater degree OF
diligence is incumbent upon the mas
ter, and that is only reasonable care
on his part.
3. A request for instructions that
the jury find for the requesting party.
based upon n part only OF the issues
involved. is properly refused.
T. Whether n servant assumed a
risk or was guilty of contributing
negligence with respect to defective
appliances he was using. depend not
upon the mere fact that he saw or
handled the appliances, but rather
upon whether he saw, or ought by
reasonable care to have seen. or knew.

says: 'The admirable platform

The admirable platform is a
condemrt on of the expansion
policy Of the Republican party
in the Philippines and demands
hat the government Of these be
turned back to the natives and
savagery. Yet in the face of
this statement is the fact that
Jefferson technically violated the
laws of the country in order to
secure the first great expansion
of his countryside Louisiana
purchase-and while the century
anniversary of that event is be-
ing magnificently celebrated to-
day, the country was not turned
back to the natives, nor the ad-
