It is gratifying to find that a large number of men in every pre cinct in Polk county who were identified with the majority in the recent Republican county conven tion do notendorse the higb-handed, rule-of-ruin policy pursued by the majority leaders. As the excite ment of the contest dies away and an opportunity is given for mature reflection, the shameful treatment of the minority grows more and more apparent, and many of the delegates do not hesitate to express their regrets fur not aiding the minority in securing respectful hearing and decent treatment at least. The fact is now appreciated that the forty or more delegates comprising the minority in the convention were men who had made a fair and Lonorab.e fight for what they believed was Inst for the party and should have been treated as brother Republicans who were asking only for that to which they considered themselves entitled, instead of being subjected to insult and humiliation and denied any recognition whatever in the make-up of committees or in naming the ticket to be voted for in June. The dirty . work of the convention is just now beginning to stand forth in all Us Us.'!y naked ness, and, judging from the resuhs that have been achieved to date, the work of the new leadership is nut destined to prove sucit-ssful to any astonishing degree. The Re publican party believtsin majority rule, bu.t not in the kind of major ity rule that permits the minority to be bullied and brow-beaten and treated as a band of criminals. Men who honor and revere the names of Abraham Lincoln and James Ci. Blaine and Wiiliam McKinley are men who love justice and fair play, and some of these newly- hatched leaders w ill soon find it out. "Whereas, we have watched the course of Hon. John II.

The construction of sewers on Mill and Court streets w ill begin as so-"-n as contracts for the work are awarded. The city council met Monday night and decided by a unanimous vote to proceed with the improvement at once, aud it is the intention of the board to have the work completed by August 1. The cctioe to contractors apf-:ars iels-where in this paper. The c-.uncil rx-m was well Hue. i Monday evening w ith property owners ;ho are interested in the propz-setl s-wc-rs, tut no objr-cti- n was made to the improvement, the price: pal obj-ot ! of the visitors being to gain informa jtionastothe character and expense j of the work proposed to be tlone. The ! plans and estimates of cost were ex-; hitited, and members of the board, took pains to supply all the icforma- tion desired. While plans for a sewerage system ; for the entire city have Deen prepared, : no attempt will t-e made this year to sewer any but the business and resi . dence district between Cotsrt and Mill ', streets. The courscil has no desire to extend the sewers to the residence por tion of the town until the improve--j ment is Hske-I for by a riajority of ! prc'jf-rty owners on any street. The ! objevt of the present board is to get the ; improvement started, and it i-believed that when it is once ucd-r way the 'people will realize the benefits of sewerage arid never rest cvi.tetit until jthesvsU m is exteLded to all parts of town.
