speaking of the complaints made in
this city against the shrill-voiced factory
whistles, the Peoria Journal says that "the
greatest mystery Of modern times is, why
are steam whistles tolerated at all in close
ly-settled communities They serve no
useful purpose, that could not be easily &C
complished by other means, and they are,
without exception, big ones and little ones,
unmitigated nuisances. Every city should
pass an ordinance prohibiting their use. In
the great manufacturing centers Of Eng
land, such az Manchester, Birmingham and
Sheffield, neither steam whistles nor tue
equally internal changing of bells, is per
mitted. Both are known there rs Yankee
devices for inilicting torture upon the pub
lie, and the British public refuses to be
tortured"
