Shall We Have Water works2

The City Council meets this eve
ming, and will undoubtedly have
some discussion on the water ones
ton, although the committee which
was appointed at the last meeting to
consider and report on the PROPOSE
ton of the Brooklyn, N. ", contrac-
tor, are not yet prepared to report.
This gentleman offers to put up the
works and lay the necessary pipes
for the sum OF $4,000. Col. Archer
stated that works could not be cree
ted here for less than S45, ZOO. The
difference in these estimates is in the
different kind of pipe proposed to be
laid. The Brooklyn contractor would
lay wrought iron pipes, less than a
quarter inch thick, with asphaltum
coating outside and inside and lined
with cement. This material woull
not be near as durable as cast-iron
pipes, which Col. Archer figured on
laying, and which would be thicker.
The cement-lined pipe, being a
comparatively new invention, has
not been well tested as to durability
yet, having been laid but two or
three years at the longest. In the
places where it is nov in ase it is
giving good satisfaction. however,
and in our opinion it will be better
TO close a contract for the putting in
of these pipes Immediately, as that
curse will be far better than delay
in securing the erection of more ex-
pensive works leaving the city at the
mercy of the elements. The opinion
of experts can be easily obtained on
the pipe question. Again we say.
let the project be pushed to compile
ton at the earliest moment possible.
The people want no more unnecessa-
ry delay.

Concerning Crook.

A correspondent of the Omaha Re
publican recently interviewed Capt.
Nickerson, of Gen. Crooks staff, and
gained the following interesting IN
formation regarding the Generals
preferences:
"As to Gen. Crook himself desiring
to fight or kill Indians, it is absurd.
Circumstances have thrown q great
deal of that kind of work IN his
hands, becausebut he has had it to do,
is no reason that he likes it. i hap
pen to know that when he has a
choice in the matter, he doesn't do it.
After the close of his Indian campaign
in Oregon and Idaho, both Gen. Hal
leck and Gen. Thomas, who success
lively commanded that military divi-
sion, told Gen. Crook on separate
occasions, that if he would like to do it
they would have ARIZONA made a
separate department and he placed in
command. They both mentioned
that they thought as he had had a
hard campaign he should have a
choice in the matter. Gen. Crook
replied that as he had u choice he
should prefer not to go, and it was
sometime after, indeed after General
Thomas death, that he was finally
assigned TO command and began and
made his Apache campaign. l ans
wer most pointedly that Gen. Crook
doesn't like to fight Indians or any
body else. Like all good soldiers he
prefers peace t war, and when he
goes to war does all he can to make it
short but decisive. The Indians gen-
orally prefer peace afterwards Gen.
Crook always prefers it."

THE LEADER Office has on its books
numerous little accounts, accumulated
during the last five years, which we
have been unable to collect. The par
ties who incurred these bills have
either refused TO settle or else have
postponed the settlement indefinitely,
and we have concluded, in order 10
save the time and trouble of entering
suits at law. to offer these accounts for
sale. For this purpose we are now
preparing a list for insertion in the
Daily aud Weekly LEADER, which
list we shall keep before the people
until the accounts are all sold. Some
of our very active collectors and Others
who want to speculate, will soon have
a good chance for investment.

EDITOR TRUE NoRrHERNER The Press Of
April 18th contains the following item:
"This time it is the Republican Treasurer Of
South Haven, who has come to grief for embez-
zlng the sum Of $1,000 or thereabouts, Of
township money. and his bondsmen are on
the ragged edge Of it."
Now will say to this big little man that is
running some Of the emptyings that he lards
his columns with occasionally, if he would
search little more after truth, and not let his
Imagination run away with what little brains he
has, he would not make himself ridiculous half
as often as he does. The truth is, Milton H.
Rice, the defaulting South Haven treasurer. is
not Republican nor never was, and was known
to be Democrat when elected. Further, South
Haven has never had Republican Treasurer
who was defaulter but has had one Demo
cratic defaulter before. Hit them again, Van,
but be sure to call them Republican, for If you
should call them Democratic it might hurt the
party, you know.
