All manufacturers of bicycles report trade good and the money to be made at such business is not less than 40 per cent, while at the prices that wheels have been sold m the past there was 7.5 per cent to the manufacturer. If some of ;pur moneyed men will invest a small amount of their surplus capital in a factory of this kind they will find a profitable investment for their money. While such an industry will help to build up our city, an enterprise of this kind will do as much toward helping the city as anything that can be done. The most of the factories of this kind are run day and night at this time, so that they-can keep up with their orders. The wheel and horseless carriage are fast taking the place of the horse and can be manufactured as cheap here, as any place in the United States. The city council at tiieir meeting last Tuesday night, settled in full with the Howe Pump& Engine Cd., -the waterworks contractors. When the contract was made with this firm, a stipulation was inserted, compelling them to leave the streets in as good condition as they were before the mains were laid. How well they lived up to that our citizens well know. Scarcely any work at all was done and as a consequence we are in mud up to our eyes. In making the settlement with the contractors last night, the council relieved them from any further liability in repairing the streets and deducted from the balance due them, the paltry sum of ,135*0 and the city now agrees to put the streets in shape. This sffrh will not put one street in shape, let alone all the streets on which water njains are laid. The council should

have compelled the contractor to fix the streets and thus show to the people that business in municipal affairs was done according to con tract. As it is the people are at least $2,000 losses. The people of Indiana are to be congratulated upon their good luck in having a man of the firmness of Governor Matthews between them aud an extra session of the state mob—sometimes miscalled legislature—of 189,5 0. The disgraceful closing scenes of last winters session of that body are still fresh in the minds of the people, and all decent, law abiding citizens regard the attempt of the republican managers to force the governor to call an extra session as an effort to still further disgrace our state. An extra session is demanded solely in the interest of a few republican place hunters, who stand no earthly show for office when the people have a fair chance to express their preference. —Portland Sun. Council Proceed ins». Council met Tuesday evening, March 10. Mayor Quinn presiding The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
