Just as we Republicans, who were out o
the wrangle, were with good apparent wa;-
rant, enjoying the anticipation of settle
meut of the differences between some of our
members and exmembers Of the city govern
meui and a restoration of harmony, a quarrel
has broken out of more consequence than any
that preceded, Mayor Bowen, and the pro-
Prietor of the National RepuJllcan have now
drawn swords. Mr.. Bowen and MIR. Muir
tagh have heretofore, for many years been
cordial political and personal friends. Du-
ring the recent investigation of the charges
against the Mayor, some reports and COM
munication were admitted into Mr. Murtagh's
paper which were unfavorable TO the Mayor,
and which Mr.Bowen declares to be false and
libelous, and which he holds Mr.. Murtagh,
not only friend, but ia common fairness,
ought to have excluded; and so, upon the
conclusion Of the investigation, and majo-
rity report vindcating him in the most en-
phatic terms, he made known his resentment
by sending word to Mr.. Murtagh that he
had no further use for his paper or him; that
he( Che Mayor was his enemy. So publish
es the Republican. Mr.. Murtsgh, on his
part, says, that nothing was admitted which
could consistently have been excluded from
live, euterprizing journal; that the pub
Usher is not fairly to be held responsible, as
for his own matter, for the contributions of
his reporters, and of outsiders; but that, as
the Mayor has chosen to resentit he shall
have the pleasure of seeing how much he will
make by it; and the Republican, accordingly
''goes for the Mayor at every opportunity.
The Mayor, in his speech at his recent SER
enade, alluded to the matter in much bitter
ness. to which the Republican replies in
kind. And so our political opponents are
rtjo;ced and encourage and we are disgrace
and our chances diminished for another cleo
ton.
Commissioner DelanO, commissioner OF
Patents Fisher, and Treasurer Spinner will
all report favOrably of their female clerks, in
their forth. coming annual reports, and will
recommend rate of pay less unequal with
that of the male clerks. General Spinner
has oeen interrupted in the labor of writing
his report by, fit of illnes7, He is up and
about again, however.
A few Congressmen are in town, Hon. S
Garfield, Delegate from Washington Terrific

ply, climate, soil, DC, of that Territory. It

his account. J.E.

Green Greek improvement

We desire to call the attention of
our city readers particularly,to the able
communication IN an other column,
upon the subject which heads this ar
ticle. 1t will be found on our local
page Il, as is claimed the bringing of
the wasers of Green Creek into the
Ssndusky river, at or above the city,
will furnish US with additional water
power for manufacturing purposes, the
the consideration Of the subject by our
citizens should be immediate and their
action prompt. There is none but will
admit that the great lack of our city is
in manufacturing, and whether that
fact results from lack of facilities or
from indifference upon the part of our
capitalists to invest the fact itself is
pertinent. If the lack is occasioned by
want of facilities, and the bringing of
the waters of Green Greek to our city
will supply those facilities, it is clearly
duty we owe ourselves to get possess
sion of those facilities as soon as we can.
If the matter can be done by private
enterprise, so much the better, although
if the water power afforded can be let,
SO as to render a return to the city, it
might be measure of advantage, in
the end, to the taxpayers, to have the
city do the work and appropriate the
advantages. The first question to de-
termine, however, is will the proposed
work give the additional water power?
and that having already been answered
by the actual surveys and calculations
Of competent engineers, it may be re-
gsrded no longer an open question.
It has been shown to be equal to 40
horse power, every twenty-four hours,
which would give Us enough power TO
keep in constant employment, if used,
from 400 to 500 men. The next ques-
ton is, will the power be used In this
day, when capital is every where seek
ing investment, we think the question
may safely be answered in the afir-
NATIVE, and surely so if the facilities Of
fered are of superior character as this
promises to be. Certainly it will not
be used if not provided. But read the
communication, think over It, and be
prepared to act upon the matter. The
way suggested seems the most equit-
able, asall taxable persons, who would
certainly be benefited by the improve
meDts which would spring up, would
in this way bear their equitable proper
ton of the expense Of this great i'm,
provement.

The completion Of the great work Of
connecting the Mediterranean and the
Red Seas, by means Of a ship canal
across the Isthmus of suez, markes an
era in the history of the nations Of
Europe. The commerce Of the East
was the great incentive to the building
Of the stupendOus work, aud of course
England which had obtained almost a
monopoly ofit in consequence of her
eastern possessions, exerted her power
ful influence in opposition to it. know
ing full well that It threatened her pros
perity, and would imperil her power in
the markets of the Orient. The com
pletiOn Of the canal will obHge her, in
common with other nations, to use the
facilities it affords, instead of depending
upon the lengthy routes by way of the
cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn.
The new route via Suez from England
to Calcutta is 5000. By the Cape
route it is 1S, 600 miles and the differ
ence of 5000 miles representing as it
does moneyed value to commerce win
oblige the abandonment Of the old
route as to costly too be maintained in
competition with the new. The an
clients as well as the moderns recognized
the importance of a correction between
the waters of the Mediterranean and Red
Seas, and as early as the ninth century
before the Hegira, canal WAS con.
structed connecting the Red Sea with
the waters OF the Nile, and maintained
for period of 100 years. The first
successors of Alexander re-establIshed
tie route and It was maintained until
about the fourth Century before the
Hegira, when it fell into disuse, but was
re-established after the Arabian con
quest,fo period of 10 years. 10 the
middle Ages, the Cape Route was sd-
opted, and maintained until the present,
but will now be superseded by the old
original route to the East, this time es-
tablished upon basis likely to be per
manent, not, only on account of its stu
pendity, but because 1t will be open to
the commerce of all nations. The fol-
lowing table will show ofwbatimmense
importance it viii be to the trade OF
the United States. Many Oriental
points can be reached by the U. P. R.R
in less distance than by the Suez
Route, but others can be reached by
the Suez route with great saving Of
distance;

The BED RiVer TronhIes

Considerable attention, of late, has
been directed to the accounts of an in
surrection in the Red River Colony, of
British America. The location and
history of this colony as well as the
causes which led to the iOsurrection are
new to most people. The settlement
Of Selkirk, lies north from Minnesota
along the valley of the. Red River.
Its population is estimated at from sew
en- to ten thousand, including half breed
Indians French, Scotch, and Scotch
Irish. The Indians are employed in
hunting and trapping. In 1912, Lord
Selkirk obtained a grant of $4,000
acres from the Hudson Bay Company,
and founded a settlement. Until the
opening Of the American territory, j.,
south, the settlement was the most iso-
lated oD the continent But since that
time, intimate commercial relations have
sprung up between them and the peo-
pie of Minnesota. a Railroad is be-
ing built from ST. Paul to the settlement
and steam boats have been placed
on Red River. Recently, the author

IRELAND contains 10000, 600 acres Of
land. These are all owned by $3.50
people. The present population Of
Ireland is about 5000, 600 SO that one
out of every seven hundred and ten
persons is an owner of land, The
curse of Ireland is tenure of land. Every
man is tenant at will, consequently
there is no security of property. The
population. within twenty years, has
decreased 100000. The decrease is
owning to the fact that the landlords
may evict the tenant, at pleasure, if the
improvements made by the tenant rem
der the land capable of yielding larg-
er revenue to the landlord than he re.
Lies from the rent of the tenant, the
lease is usually forfeited, and the tenant
evicted. As many as $4,000 evictious
have occurred in a single year.
