IT is amusing to hear our digni6ed
city printer plead the baby act. He
says the REPUBLICAN, is trying to un-
dermlne his "honorable avocation -
Common people would call it business).
He never was more mistaken in his
life; we would not undermine his
Honorable avocatlon' if we could. We
are particularly interested, in bust ess
point of view, in having the opposition
sheet here run by Poet. The Rcpub
lican party is also interested in re-
tanning this so-called man 10 the posi-
tiou which he occupies.

IT was to be expected that the
Weltburger wonld come to the rescue
of the Democrat and help to cover
up the iniquity of the city printing
steal. AS matter of fact, the
Weltburger is nearly as deep in the
mud as the Democrat is in the mire.
There is this difference, however.
There is no competing German
paper overwhelmingly for the
tax-payers-to bid against the Welt
burger, and consequently that paper
has monopoly and can make its
bills out as it pleases. This &C.
counts for its being paid for print
ing last year the sum of $245.14,
which is about four or five
times what the work was really
worth, as in the case of the Demo-
crat. This is what the city is pay
ing for the luxury of a democratic
city government. Now, wouldn't
it be we'll for the voters on the first
Monday of April to elect COM
mon council who will follow the
provisions of the charter and let the
contract for the city printing to the
lowest bidder, which will be hand
some saving to the taxpayers?

men from the South; so that two
thirds of this power of "shaping
legislation" in the Senate is con-
ferred upon the representatives of
one-third of the people, including
the Negro population, who have
been forcibly or fraudulently shut
out from exercising the privilege of
choosing their Lawmakers. All
this goes to prove how the down.
trodden and subjugated South has
been deprived of the legitimate
share in the conduct Of the Govern.

The Printing Steal.

The poetical genius who nomi-
nally owns the organ which has
been kept alive the past dozen years
by funds taken out of the pockets
of the taxpayers of Watertown
spread himself last week over
large amount of space with his
usual perspicuity, in an attempt to
give the reasons why we offer to do
the city printing at less than legal
rates. He gave every reason but
the right one. We have published
the proceedings of the Council for
several years without any pay
whatever. They contain matter of
public interest and a newspaper can
afford to publish them for little or
no compensation. But 1t seems to
us that the taxpayers are not as
uauch interested in the business
projects Of the proprietor of the
REPUBLICAN as they are in the
saving of the little sum of $500
year on their printing. The young
man seems to have lost sight of this
fact. If there are any arguments
n favor of giving the city printing
to his paper at six prices, he would
have shown good sense had he con-
fined himself to these arguments,
instead of going into such minute
details in regard to what interests
the publisher of this paper only.
He failed signally to give any rea-
son why the city should give him
$2z9 for doing the same work that
can be procured of us for less than
$50.
His appeal to partizan predjudice
to retain him as city printer at any
price he may choose to ask, will
avail him nothing. The day and
age for that kind of business is past
IN Watertown. The question at
issue is purely a business one-it
involves dollars and cents-and an
appeal for a favor in the shape of a
$500 bonus on the score ofpartizan-
ship will have no weight with
council such as will be elected next
Tuesday. The indications now are
thai we shall elect council that will
have some regard for law. as we'll as
4 desire to administer the affairs of
our city in regular and economi-
cal manner. Such being the case
the city printing will be disposed
otto the lowest responsible bidder
as it used to be in days gone by,
and as the law provides.

We notice that the astute politician,

now why it is that be extends his

Death of Rev. James DeKOven.

The Protestant Episcopal Church
of the United States has lost a
bright light and the country bril-
liant educator in the death of Rev.
DR.. ] ames DeKoven, at Racine Oil
Wednesday morning, March 10.
Some time ago DR.. DeKoven fell
and broke one of his limbs in Mil
waukee and he was suffering from
the acciden when stricken down,
although the immediate cause of
his death is supposed to have been
either apoplexy or heart disease.
For number of years DR.. De-
koven has been one of the most
conspicuous divines in the Episco-
pal denomination of this country.
He was born at Middleton Connect
icut September 10TH, 1891, and
graduated from the General Theo-
logical Seminary in New York in
1854. After his advancement to the
priesthood he served as rector of the
church at Delafield, Waukesha
county, for five years at the same
time serving as tutor Ecclesiastical
history at the Theological Seminary
at Nashotah in the same cou nty. In
1859 he was called to the position
of Warden of Racine college which
he held up to the time of his decease.
AS the head Of the Racine Col
lege DR.. DeKoven has attracted
attention by his earnestness
and industry, and especially by his
outspoken advocacy of views which
were held by the Low Church
party to be of decidedly High
Church cast. In November, 1874,
DR.. DeKoven received a call from
St. James, leading Episcopal
church in Chicago, which he re-
fused. In May, 1873, the vestry OF
Trinity church, New York, unani-
mously elected him as assistant
minister of that famous parish, but
this call he also refused. A few
days ago he received a call to &C
cept the rectorship of St. Mary's
church, Philadelphia, which he also
refused.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of the deceased clergyman
were held at Racine Saturday, and
the ceremonies on the occasion
were the most imposing ever seen
at similar event in Wisconsin
Bishops Of seven or eight dioceses
were present to unite with others
in paying the last tribute of respect
to the memory of one whose labors
in the cause of the church will lon g
be remembered.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

The oregonian of recent date contains the fellow
ing:
"several Oregon journals have complained because
Postal Agent has been sent out hore from the East.
They have thought tsrange that man could be found
in Oregon or Washington Tor the position. The fact ID.
the Department has taken this step because it had no
efficient service here in the office Of Postal Agent for
some years, and therefore decided to send from the
East competent and efficient man."
The above Is sufficiently answered by the following
letter received by Mr.See the retiring Postal Agent,
from the chief OF his department.

Silk Culture.

The Charleston News and Courier
speaks hopefully of the renewal of silk
culture in the low country of South
Carolina. The experiment Of introduc-
ing silk manufacture in that State was
made many years ago, and failed, as the
News admits, flcm the non-adaptability
of the system of labor then existing to q
business requiring SO much intelligent
work. 1t was demonstrated, however,
that the soil and climate of South
Carolina were admirably suited to the
cultivation of morus multicanlis, or
white mulberry, which is the peculiar
food of silk worms. The ability to grow
the raw material is very important
point in establishing silk manufactures,
and tho second in Importance is the
presence of experienced silk weavers.
These are coming from Europe in large
numbers, and the advantages Of South
Carolina as a place of residence are
pointed out. A great deal of handwork
enters into the manufacture of silk, and
business consequently opens market
for labor.

Our Postal Service.

It is false economy on the part Of a
government to deny sufficient money to
an important branch of it's service to
carry it on in the most efficient manner,
but the fault which grumblers may find
with the United States government for
not making appropriations enough to
meet the expenses of the postal service,
according to the judgment of it's man.
ayers, is explained by the peculiar cir
cumstances which obtain in this country.
European governments reap large rev,
enue from their mail services, because
their large populations are crowded into
q comparatively small area, SO that but
little carriage is necessary, compared
with the number Of men which must
be employed here to carry the mails to
our population, scattered as it is over an
immense surface. The United States
mail service was at first self-supportlne,
but since 1920 it has usually needed
some aid from the government The de-
fciency in its revenues, however, has
been steadily growing less since 1873,
and although Col. w. b. krhompson, Su-
perintendent of the Railway Mail Ser
vice, asks an additional 100000 next
year for railway post office clerks and
100000 extra for route agents, the
total Of appropriations asked is less than
last year, and even with the rapid ex-
tensions of the railway service which he
recommends and is trying to effect,
there is no doubt that this and the other
branches of the postal service will soon
pay their own expenses, and by and by
Weld revenue.

Gentlemen Allow me, as ON old

publication q great deal of good will be
accomplished. Having been reader
of your paper for many years, hope
you will kindly grant my request.
For twelve years / had suffered, from
time to time, terribly with Rheumatism,
to such an extent that was unable to
move about and lost the use of my limbs.
/ tried everything recommended to effect
q cure, consulted some of the most
prominent physicians and expended large
sums of money, hoping to find relief, bur
without any success. Glancing over the

the result was truly wonderful. | used
it every two hours, and found relief inn
