BYNUM FOR SOUN'D ' MOSEY Takes Issue with Indiana's Two Senators on the Money Question , LOGICAL EFFECTS OF FREE COINAGE Why American Sllvnr I'MMPI tur- ) rent at l' \Vhllo aiextom Silver Coinage Only Urines It ) Hulllon Vulue. SPENCER , Ind , , July 8. Hon. William D. Bynum of InJIanapolls opened his sound money campaign here tonight. Ho spoke In the opera home to a largo and representative audience of Owen county people , composed of the members of both political parties. Ho was listened * to by bankers , business men , farmers and laborers , and was given the closest attention throughout. There was lib cral applause as the speaker made his argu mcnt against the frco coinage of sliver and pointed out what he claimed to bo the fal lacies ot the advocates of frco coinage. He , was Introduced by Hon. Willis lllckam and spoke for two hours. Ho said : Ladles and Gentlemen : I am Hot here as the representative ot any political party and do not assume to speak for any ono but my eolf. The people of the country are con fronted with the solution of an Important question. The broad expanse of our territory , our varied and unlimited resources , aud the grpat growth of our commerce require that we should have the quickest communication , the most rapid transportation , the most con venlont forms of exchange , and as sound a financial system as any nation on tbo tace ol the earth. The question of sound money Is ono that affects directly the Interests of every citizen ; It enters every homo and demands the thoughtful consideration of every Intelli gent mind. I believe that the people In every section of the country desire to nee the gov ornmcnt maintain a sound money. That the Advocates of frco coinage as well as those opposed to the same favor maintaining the largest circulation of both gold and silver at a parity , and are opposed to any policy which would result In the banlshmentot either tram uoe. The controversy is not as to the result to bo obtained , but how to achieve It. No ono , I presume , desires to see a policy In i , augurated that would result In the separation of the value ot our gold and silver. The cheaper will always drive out the dearer , and the result would be the expulsion of our gold. No person , oven If he could afford to do so , would pay In the moro valuable when ho had a right to discharge his obligations ) In the cheaper kind. Our present circulation con sists of about $630,000,000 of gold , $650,000,000 of silver , $340,000,000 of greenbacks , $18.000- 000 of currency certificates , and $211,000,000 of national bank notes , all maintained by the government upon an equality. A dollar of our silver money or paper currency la worth a hundred cents In any part of the civilized world. Our sliver dollar Is worth a hundred cents In London , while Mexico's , containing moro silver. Is worth only 03 cents. Neither Is redeemable In gold , and the question Is , why this difference In value ? It Is not the flat of the government , because botlr possess the same attributes of legal tender. It Is because we adhere to thu standard of measurement recognized by the laws of trade , while Mexico has setup up a domestic standard far below that which dominates In the exchange between nations. When our coin returns homo It possesses a purchasing power equal to gold , hence It is' worth as much as a gold dollar everywhere. When the Mexican dollar re turns homo It possesses a purchasing power only half as great , and therefore Is worth only half as much. I assume not only that no one desires to sea a separation In the values of our coin , but that no ono desires to see a policy pursued that would debase our circulation. LEGAL AND COMMERCIAL RATIO. The legal ratio between gold and silver as fixed by our laws is 1C to 1 , while the commercial ratio Is about 32 to 1. The ef fect of opening our mints to the free coinage ago of sliver would bo to bring the legal aud commercial ratios of the two metals to EOther , or to reduce the monetary value of the silver dollar to Its commercial ratio. In the event ot the latter the silver dollar would bo worth only t > 0 cents , In comparison with the gold dollar , and would therefore drive gold out ot circulation. There can be no question that with free coinage of silver the valno of the bullion In a dollar would become the equal of UH monetary value. The Important question , therefore , to bo deter mined Is , would * the price of bullion go up from CC cents to $1.29 an ounce all the world over , or would the monetary value of our sliver dollar come down to Its bullion valuo. about GO cents ? It Is a fact that the commercial ratio of the two metals has al ways controlled their movements. In spite of tholr coinage ratio. In the act of 1793 the ratio established was IS to 1. Gold was worth more , and therefore wont to the countries where It commanded moro silver. In 1831 the ratio was changed to 16 to 1. Silver was worth more , and the consequence was that silver went out and gold came back. The difference In value In the coinage - ago and commercial ratios was only about 3 cents , but it was enough to make , first , the exportation of gold , then of silver , prof itable. It a difference of 3 cents In value caused the exportation of gold from 17S3 tn 1834 , and then ot silver from 1834 to 1853 , what might wo expect with a difference ol CO cents on the dollar at present ? The ad vocates of free coinage assume , and all their arguments are based upon this er roneous assumption , that with free coinage of both metals at a ratio ot 1C to 1 wo would Aavo bimetallism. This assumption Is the great desideratum In the discussion of thU question , and until they demonstrate that both metals would remain In circulation all their declamation about a double standard bimetallism and an Increased circulation I : pure fustian. Gold has been standard money with us evei since 1R34 ; we had coined but 8,000,000 ol silver dollars , and they had all left the coun try. All the stiver we had was In small coin a legal tender to the extent ot only $5. It however , Is not necessary to contend ovei the question as to how the act of 1873 wai pissed that makes no difference now. W < mutt now meet conditions as they are , not ai tbey ought to be. It Is insisted , however that the act ot 1873 destroyed the demam for silver , and as a consequence the prlci began to go down. Up to 1873 we had colnec but 8.000.000 of silver dollars and U37.000.0CX of subsidiary coin , The total coinage during the seventy-six years ot the operation of oui mints prior to 1S73 was only $145,000,000. RECOMMENCED COINAGE. In 1878 we again commenced to coin thi standard dollar , and up to and Including i part ot 1893 had coined $415.000,000 , beside ; over $30,000,000 of subsidiary coin , and pur chased , under the provisions ot the Shermai act , and have on hand sufficient bullion t < coin $123,000,000 more. The consumption o silver by us since 1873 has been more that $650,000,000 ot coinage value , and yet It I : boldly asserted that the cause ot the fall It its value was the discrimination against U a a money metal. During all the tlmo till * great consumption was taking place the prlc. . of silver was constantly colng down. It 1 : alleged , however , that other nations dcmonc t : tlzed silver , and that their action had some thing to do with the fall In Its value. 1 tnich bo true , bow necesiary mutt their aid b to Us restoration. Several causes , tn in ; Judgment , have operated to cheapen silver Gold Is the more valuable metal ; more valua ble because of the greater demand for It uie In the arts ; moro valuable because It cai be transported from nation to nation at les cost ; moro valuable because ot Its properties : A nations advance their commerce growi their transactions Increase , and a more v.il liable standard becomes Decenary. Not only do nations as they Increase I , ' wealth change from the cheaper to the mor 11 Valuable kind of money , but they reach point where money ceases to be actively usoc becoming simply the base of a superstructur of drafts , checks and exchanges. This in creased demand for gold by many Europoa nations was met by an Increase In productlo and thui silver > -as relegated to a subardlnat position. In 1873 the coinage value ot th world's production of gold was $96,200,001 while In 1S9I It was over $180,000.000. Th value of the gold product of the world I 1S84 was greater than tha annual averup product of both gold aud silver from 186 to 1S6S. Not only hai the production ot cot locreaied nearly 100 per cent , but the projui tloa of silver ha * Increased In a greater ratlt The world's production of silver In 1873 was $56,800,000 , while In 1S93 It was $ ! 03.- 371,000. The price Is now about CO cents and the owners of mines wish us to appreciate the value until they can realize $1.29. WHAT OF THE RESULT. In view of all the evidence wo have , be fore us does any one bollcvo that to open our mints would have any other effect > ave to debase the value of our silver coin and force us to a silver basis ? What would be tbo result ot such a policy ? Our silver dollar , which is now worth 100 cents all over the world , would Instantly drop to Its bullion value , now about 60 cents , and our $600,000,000 ot gold would Instantly dis appear from circulation. No argument la necessary to prove that gold and silver would not circulate side by side when ono was worth outside of our limits twice as much as the other. With the disappearance of our supply of gold there would bo a contraction ot more than one-third In our circulation. U would take fifteen years of steady work by our mints to replace this volume of circu lation by coining silver , The very opposite ot what the advocates of free coinage are con tending for would take place. The contrac tion In our circulation would bo eo sudden , 50 Revere as to brine upon us a panic more sweeping than that ot 1S73. Look over the face of the earth today and see what nations pay the lowest wages to their tabor and have the smallest circulation per capita , Mexico Is one. of the great silver producing countries ot the world. She has free coinage of both gold and silver , and yet her per capita circulation Is only $4.71 ; 41 cents being In gold and 17 cents In paper. India , that only recently suspended free coln- oge , has a per capita circulation ot $3.33. Compare the circulation ot these free coinage countries , with that ot the nations which limit coinage. The United Kingdom has $14.18 In gold and $2.88 In silver ; Franco , $21.54 In gold and $12.85 In silver ; Germany , $12.65 In gold and $1.35 In silver ; Belgium , 8.87 In gold and $8.85 In silver , while we ave $ D.09 In gold and $9.03 silver. Mexico : olns about $25,000,000 of silver every year er coinage during the last three years has een largely In excess of her present clrculo- lon. The reason is this , that her coin Is nly domestic money ; Its commercial 's equal nd Bomotlmea greater than Its monetary alue ; hence , It is nothing after all but a ommodlty , and Is dealt with as such. An Ohio merchant recently paid $30 fine for oiling adulterated baking powder.

A special dispatch rom Montreal to the Evening Post says : he customs ofuclals In this city expect to make an Important arrest In a few days In lonnectlon with the smuggling of Chlna- nen from Canada Into the United States , hiring the last few months It Is estimated iy the authorities that fully 300 Chinamen ave been smuggled across the lines at varl- ius places. The smugglers have grown so iold and the operations so extensive that the uthorltles at Washington decided on im- nedlato action and sent twelve of the hrcwdest secret service men to work up he case. They have made this city their leadquartcrs and during their sojourn of en days have succeeded In locating not only he leader of the gang , but also found out ho secret means of transportation. Last Wednesday It was learned that the aptaln ot a lumber boat In this port had rrangcd with the smugglers to convey four- , een Chinamen from Soul. Quebec , to Troy , ST. Y. , provided they were delivered to him tear Soul Islands. The captain succeeded In hiding the secret service man and getting horn off the track and sailed up the Rlchllleu river to Lake Champlaln nnd thenc : o Troy. N. Y. , where he landed the China men. The name of the man has been so ured and the name of his barge , and if he rosses into American waters again ho will 10 arrested. Some tlmo ago a barge of lum- icr was seized In Troy by United States 'fflclals ' , who suspected that It carried lontraband cargo. When the lumber was partly discharged the officers were con siderably surprised to find In the center of the load , neatly caged in , twelve Chinamen with their baggage. There are a largo num ber of Chinamen In this city at present waiting to cross Into the United States terrl- ory and many of them are paying the smug glers as much as $200 to get them across.

WORST OF THE KIND IN THE CCUN1RY Intnntei Crowded Into tipico Scarcely Sufficient for tlie Exlntenco ot Human Life Koport of the Dlicourse. LINCOLN , July 8. ( Special. ) In the course of his lecture last evening Dr. Gra ham Taylor , professor In the Congregational theological seminary at Chicago , proceeded to administer a severe roast of the Nebraska state penitentiary. Ho referred to a recent visit which ho had made and surprised his audience with the vigor of his denunciation. "That Is the worst prison , " said he , "that I liavo ever eeen , and I have visited nearly all the prisons in the northern states. Why , just think ot 111 They have holes In the wall out there seven by seven by four feet In di mension , and many of them have two men In them. " There are 210 cells In which are confined on an average 320 prisoners. The speaker dwelt upon the fact that there Is no matron and that the women prisoners are there In the care ot men , a condition that he seemed to deem most reprehensible. Ho also se verely criticized the contract labor system and Its Inevitable effect upon the prisoners. SOME OTHER FEATURES. Dr. Taylor at the close of his lecture ex pressed a willingness to aruwcr any ques tions. T. II. Leavltt , who was prominently Interested last winter In an attempt to se cure the enactment of a law by the last ses sion of the legislature creating a board ot charities and corrections , arose and under took to tell what had been done In that line and the unsatisfactory result. He said that after the bill had been introduced ho had been approached by ex-Governor Thayer , who had Inquired : "Leavltt , what In the worll are you trying to do ? " "Wo ore trying to do something In behalf of the poor prisoners out there , " was the reply. Thereupon the ex-governor had registered a remonstrance , expressing ; the conviction that It was the best arranged and beat man- iged prison In the Untied States. The legls- atlvo committee had appeared to entertain ho same Idea of the situation. The result , aid Leavltt. was that the friends of the harltles and corrections bill could not oven btaln a respectful hearing before the com mittee. mittee.What would you do In the face of such pposltlon ? " heatedly concluded Leavltt. "What would I do ? " replied Dr. Taylor. 'why , I would shut that ex-governor and : hose members of the legislature up In that jrlson for twenty-four hours. " This response was greeted with demonstra- lens of applause. Dr. Taylor Is lecturing it the Crete Chautauqua and It Is possible hat he may revl.ilt Lincoln before ho re- , urns to Chicago. IN DISTRICT COURT. The Union Savings bank asks Judgment In ho county court against the village of West Jnctiln for $186 due on five warrants issued n 1891 , which have been registered , but not paid. paid.The National Life Insurance company of Vermont asks for the foreclosure of a $14.732 morgage on the Fitzgerald property on North Ninth street. At the pro cathedral last night be fore taking up the regular topic of his ser mon , Father Nugent read a letter from J. Sterling Morton In which he said that no contributions wore levied on the employes of the Agricultural department In Washing ton. Ho further stated that all soliciting for religious or other charitable purposes was forbidden In all the departments. EVENED UP THE DEAL. This morning Mrs. Do Haas was arrested on complaint of Henry Smith who charges Immorality against her In a number ot ways. Smith says that about four months ago she borrowed $25 of him , promising to repay him by marriage , after which they were to settle on the "reservation" and open a house of 111- famo. Her failure to carry out this compact ncensed Smith and he preferred the charge of prostitution against her. Mrs. Do Haas lias now one husband In the penitentiary , sent there for forgery. She Is a rather pretty little woman , with Innocent looking eyes and a smiling roguish face. It Is considered quite doubtful If Smith will obtain much legal satisfaction on the poor showing he makes in his own behalf. Rev. T. F. Stauffer has left for Wheeling , W. Va. , to attend the session ot the supreme lodge of the Order of the World , which as sembles this week. Today J. C. Pentzer left for Denver to at tend the national convention of the Educa tional association. Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee Sedgewlck says that the com mittee has been called to meet at Lincoln on August 7. RAIDED A HOP JOINT. "For running an opium Joint" was the charge booked against Sam Ling and Ah Con at the police station this morning. At the trial this afternoon It developed that Ah Con was proprietor of the place , and Sam Ling merely an Inmate. The celestials were con ducting their hop emporium at 138 South Tenth street when Officers Harry and Fushla swooped down on them and carried them off In the patrol wagon , together with an opium smoking outfit , on which Ah Con had Just paid $13 express charges. This at tack on the hop industry Immediately brought into action the head center of a fan tan game running perennially over the Little Gold Dust saloon , known as Charley , and he set about to weave a defense which should get his plgr tailed countrymen out of hock as economic ally as possible. At the trial Ah Con was fined $5 and Sam Ling $1 and coats , swelling the sum total to $28. The real complainant against the Mongolians Is James Pegler , who conducts a grain business near the alleged laundry. It Is said that attempts have ben mailQ to Induce a little 9-year-old girl to visit the joint , which , happily , have so far failed. The police expected to find a number of white smokers In the den who have been spotted , and are known to have frequented the place , but they were out when the officers called to Inquire how matters were progress- Ing. The outfit confiscated consisted of pipes , lamps and a lot of opium. nECEPTION TO DR. PAINE. Dr. D. L. Paine , who retires from the pres idency of the Epworth league this month , was tendered a reception by the St. Paul league this evening at the church. At the business meting of the Christian Endeavor societies the Lincoln City union was author ized to provide ( or a representative speaker tor this district at the convention. A young man whose age Is given at the police station as 20 years , and whose name Is not given , escaped from the asylum this morning , and the police tonight ore on the lookout for him. Young Ferry Ensign Is re ported to be greatly Improved by his treat ment at the asylum , and It Is hoped that he will soon be out again clothed in his right mind. Emma Sanderson , a young girl picked up on Eleventh street by the police matron , will be sent to the reform school at Geneva for Incorrlglblllty. Edith Moore , a white woman living In a disorderly house , took a dose of laudanum because two negro admirers quarreled over her and ono got the worst ot It.

The Board ot Education met In ad journed session last evening to consider pend ing revisions of the rules. The committee on rules presented two reports relative to the appointment of a truant ofllcor. Lower and Tukcy recommended that the olllce bo not created and that the further consUeratlon of the rules governing It be Indefinitely post poned. They argued that It was a poor tlmo to create new demands on the funds when the board was $10,000 short. Edwards , In a minority repot t , recommended the creation ot the olllce. The majority report was adopted and the numerous applicants for the Job ot hunting up young urchins who do not attend the public schools will have to hang up their hopes Indefinitely , An effort on the part ot the committee to have the data ot the election of the superin tendent ot school building. ! change ! from the first regular meeting In July to the second meeting lu January was not favorably re ceived , The majority ot the board voted against the change and the committee report was amended accordingly. The duties of the committee on salaries were abridged to as to leave the committee merely the authority to sco that salaries were adjusted according to the rules of the board. This was on the suggestion that the kindergarten nn.l teachers' committees were batter qualified to fix salaries than the regu lar salary committee. Section 4 was also amended so as to provide that the members of the visiting committee for each school building should bo consulted In regard to contemplated Improvements. The date for the election ot on attorney wns flxeJ as ( ho second regular meeting In January. The number of members necessary to call a special meeting of the board was changed from four to eight. Section IS , defining the duties of the secre tary , was so amended as to provide that ho should not purchase supplies , except by direc tion of the board or the committee on sup plies. An effort to amend the rules governing the superintendent ot schools to compel that of ficial to obtain the consent of the committee on teachers and examinations before making transfers ot teachers or consolidations of pu pils fulled to receive the necessary support , and the rule was allowed to stand as at pres ent. A similar effort was made to abridge the authority , of the superintendent by refus ing him the power to appoint substitute teachers to fill temporary vacancies without consulting the committee , but this was also voted down. Lowe wanted the rule defining the duties of the committee on teachers and examinations amended as far as It concerned the election of teachers. He wanted the committee to submit a list of the teachers who were to be dropped , and to also submit the list of teachers recommended ten days before It was presented for adoption. This proposition was ; he text of a long discussion , after which the amendment was withdrawn. The further consideration of the report was postponed for ono week. A resolution by Knodell provided for the acceptance of a bond from a guarantee com pany for the custodian of supplies. It was carried after some objection. The ofliclal bond of J. H. Dumont as treas urer for the school board was submitted and referred to the committee on Judiciary. The sureties qualified as follows : Artemua Clarke , $25,000V. ; . R. Clarke. $25,000 ; George C. Towle , $25,000 ; W. V. Morse , $25.000 ; George E. Darker , $100.000 ; total , $200,000. On recommendation of the finance commit tee , a resolution was adopted by which the city treasurer was directed to deposit the school funds only as provided by law , to make a monthly statement to the board of the amount ot school money deposited In each bank and to make an Immediate report of the amount now In the fund. In connection with this resolution the com mittee submitted an opinion from Attorney I'owell , In which he took the positive ground that the law which declared that the city treasurer should not deposit city funds In any bank with less than $200,000 In paid up cap ital applied with equal force to the schoo fund.

There were fifteen vacancies on the force to fill and the commissioners held a special session yester day afternoon at 2 o'clock to examine the stack of applications for appointment which confronted them. The bids for stars came from all portions of the city. After cxamln- ng a number ot applicants and listening to jloRrnphlc.il accompaniments , the board ml- lournod until 8 o'clock last evening. All members , Including Mr. Strlckler , who has returned from the mountains , were present at the evening session. Midsummer vacations were granted Fire men Robert Vandorford ot No. 11 and J. L.

An Itemized statement of his expenditures ac companied the bill , Including $1.50 for Pull man porter , CO cents for bootblack , $21 for six days' hotel expenses and fourteen meals enroute at $1 per meal , telegrams $3 , etc. A discussion followed In which It developed that the board had authorized Mr. Seavey to make the trip , but that when he did so ha was not chief of police of Omaha. Upon motion ot Commissioner Brown the bill was referred to the committee on finance , notwithstanding that Mr. Strlckler wanted It referred to the Mimnltteo on property. Commissioner Strlck ler said that the board had olllclally agreed to stand ex-Chief Seavcy's expenses If they did not exceed $100. Commissioner Smith made a vigorous protest against the appro prlatlon of so much of the city's funds in shoe polish and encouragement of Sir George Pullman's young men. Mr. Strlckler said that Mr. Seavey had generously omitted to put In a bill tor railway faro between Omaha and Chicago. Commissioner Strlckler , as chairman of the finance committee , reported adversely on a small claim ot Fireman Leeder's. A petition signed by W. S. Popplcton and thirteen others , asking for an Investigation as to the cause ot Policeman John Leary's dismissal , was presented. The communica tion was referred to the committee on men and discipline. The proposed Independent telephone serv ice came up for final consideration. Chlel Redell was called and submitted some statistics of flro alarm systems In other cities. It was thought that If the new system was placed In operation one of the fire and police operators could be dispensed with. It was decided to adopt the proposed Independ ent telephone service , provided tha company would attend to repairs promptly. The con tract between the telephone company and the city was referred to the city attorney and the committee on property. W. O. Chute , a tailor , appeared before the board with specimens of his work and ho agreed to make uniforms for the employes of the fire department at $24 per suit , cloth , color and garment guaranteed.

ON THE ROAD TO BOSTON NOW Jinny Nehrnsltn Members Stnrt to the Christian Iltiilruvor Convention. Many Christian Endeavorers of the slate passed through the city yesterday on their way to the fourteenth International conven tion of the Christian Endeavor societies , which will convene In Boston on July 10 and remain In session for five days. A number went through In the morning , but the larg est delegation came In over the Burlington at 4:10 in the afternoon , thirty bolng In the party. This number was Increased to fifty by members In this city. At this point two special cars wuro attached to the train , one being a sleeper and the other a chair car. Both these cars were decorated with banners which extended along the entire length of the cars. They read : "Nebraska for Christ. Boston , 1895. " In the corners were mono grams formed of the letters "C. E. " These banners were a puzzle to on old farmer who sat on the platform dangling his lega and who was evidently unfamiliar with the Christian Endeavor society. Ho studied the emblems earnestly until In his medita tions ho had almost chewed up a plug of tobacco. Finally ho had to give It up and approached Depot Officer Fleming. "Say , " ho Bald , "what does that 'Nebrasky for Chris' mean ? What derned political scheme have they got up now ? " Officer Fleming explained the barmlessnoss of the banners and the old man apologetically remarked : "Us farmers have got to look out for them political schemers. They're working all kinds of blamed dodges on us. " The party will arrive In Chicago In the morning. There they will be met by other Nebraskans , and the entire delegation will travel over the Wabash and the West Shore to Boston. Stops will be made at Niagara Falls and other points. During the conven tion the delegates will visit many places of Interest In the neighborhood ot Boston. gether flour , salt and powder ; rub In lard cold , add milk , and mix In the bowl Intc smooth dough , easily handled without stick.

VIADUCT REPAIRS DELAYED Contrnctor Cninpbcll Hofu.M to Olvo the Itcqnlrrd llonil. Another delay In tlio Sixteenth street viaduct - duct repairs Is now In slglit. and the pron- ject Is greeted by a howl ot discontent Irom the South Sixteenth street business men , who are compelled to sco tholr busi ness fall off nearly 50 per cent wbllo the viaduct Is closed to traffic. The latest snag consists In tbo refusal of Contractor Camp- [ > ell to enter Into a contract wltu the city for the repairing of tbo structure. Chair man Munro of the Board of Public Works received n letter from Campbell this morn ing , In which Campbell positively refused to proceed further , and thd prospects are that the city will have to begin over ngalu and readvcrtlso for bids. The contract for repairing tbo viaduct was awarded to Campbell on the recom mendation of City Engineer Rosowntor , who notified the council that It It was found necessary for the city to do the work It could not get a better offer than that made by Campbell. As the railroads neglected to take nottco of the demands of the city that they should repair the viaduct , tbo Board of Public Works was directed to prepare the contract with Campbell , which was done. The first difllculty oroso over the bond. The charter requires that the contractor shall bo compelled to fllo a boiul In double the amount of the contract , ana also a bond that ho will pay for all labor and material. The amount named In Camp bell's bid was $2,910 , so the board fixed tbo bond at $0,000 , with $2,500 additional for labor and material. This made a total bond of $8,500 , the sureties on which must bo resident freeholders of the city. The char ter also provides that each surety must qualify for the whole amount of the bond. This made It necessary for the bondsmen to qualify for $17,000. Campbell protested that this was on unnecessary hardship. As ho was not an Omaha man , ho would have to put up a check for the entire $17,000 In order to secure resident bondsmen. He offered to put up his certified check for $3,000 , which , ho declared , was ample to protect the city , as the amount exceeded the price named In the contract. This Is not the reason glvon by Mr. Camp bell , however , for his refusal to sign the * contract. He says that ho Is advised by his attorney that the procedure by which ho was awarded the contract was Irregular and , that even If ho should complete the work the payment of money might bo stopped by In junction and ho would be Involved In a legal controversy , the result of which would ba uncertain. His attorney contends that It is the plain mtont of the charter that the city shall advertise for bids for such work as Is contemplated In this case. This had not been dona and the contract was awarded without giving anyone a chance to bid. Con sequently he IB unwilling to take chances on , being able to collect his pay and ho practi cally throws up the contract. Chairman Munro said yesterday that so far as he could see the only course left opan was to begin over again and advertise for bids. The delay was exasperating , as there wa no doubt but that the business men on the street were suffering a serious hardship , hough It could not bo helped. Ho was oC the opinion that the ground taken by Camp bell's attorney was correct and that It the railroads wanted to evade the payment of heir share at the tax they would bo able o do so on account of the failure to adver- Iso for bids. It had been fetatod that thu city attorney had given a verbal opinion bo- 'oro he left on his * vacation , which was to the effect that the contract could ba lot to Camp bell as contemplated , without endangcrlnt ; the validity of the tax. The matter wilt > robably be brought to the attention of the council tonight and It will be asked to decldo what Is to be done. City Engineer Rosewater Is of the opinion that the delay need not bo serious. The council can take Immediate action and tha advertisement Inserted at once , and If the matter Is hurried along the repairs can ba [ lushed ahead at an early date.
