As the "Bill in Relation TO the Govern
ment OF the city Of Wheeling has been
approved by the Second Branch Of Council
there arc many excellent provisions in it
The measure has been prepared to pro
tect the city from the calamity which has
come upon her by reason Of loose methods
and general responsibility.
II may be doubted, however, whether
some OF the radical changes suggested are
wise or fair to all interests. For example!
the diversion OF the funds OF the Gas and
Water Boards into the general treasury to
bc used for general purposes al
the discretion of Council-this is
a departure which ought not tc
be hastily taken. It Is doubtful
whether tho people win approveit. There
is SO much good in the bill, and there il
sucll urgent need of better methods o.
transacHng the public business, that there
ought 10 be au immediate and general ex'
preston of the popular will, SO far as that
can be asCertained, before the measure II
submitted to the Legislature.
II would be well'if citizens would come
together at once, in town meeting, to give
expression to their views. The bill hay,
ing been prepared with care and approved
by one brancl. OF Council, the ISrELLtoES'
GER would like 70 hear . wider discussion
OF It's merits before pointing out more
definitely what it thinks to be some seri'
Gus defects. --.. g

+ CLpyELASD, o., Feb. ls.-The sewer
pipe manufacturers Of the United States
held the opening session Of convention
at the Forest City House hast evening.
The object Of their meeting is to make an
effort to effect a union on prices. Prior to
two years ago the sewer pipe men had an
organization and held prices up. The
business was then profitable, but the union
went tos pieces, and for two years prices
have steadily gone down, until, as Mr.. D.
E. Hill Of the Akron Sewer Pipe Compa-
ny declares there is no longer any profit in
the traffic, "We have" said he, "been
doing business at an actual loss, The low
prices were due 10 cutting, but am not
prepared to state who was responsible for
as the cutting due TO overproduction 2"
81 can't say that 1t is. As far as our two
firms In, Akron are concerned, we went
into the Winter with larger stock on
hand than any twenty OF the other firms
simply because VIC would not sell the pipc
at aloss.ng. " :. sgtJ-y
ado you expect to effect an organiza-
tionY
az cannot tell. We will do our utmost
to effect such union, but nothing has
been done tonight We have not even
effected a permanent organization, and
our discussion to-night was looking toward
that end" . ss II
The following. were the manufacturers
present: N. U. Walker, Walkers, O.; d. T..
Hill, Akron: w. +. Dunspaugh, Toronto;
Ira l. Otis, Rochester; +. W. Peck,
Rochester; Frank Bowles, Calumet; D. b.

/. Conner, Calumet; J. NJ. Mcdowell.
Columbus; Theodore Rhodes, Columbus.
Mr.. Ira l.. Otis, Of Rochester, was elect
ed Chairman and Theodore Rhodes, of
Columbus, Secretary. As will be seen,
the business OF sewer pipe making has q
wide range. Ohio was its home. Mr.. D.
L. Hill came to Akron twenty-five years
ago and began making sewer pipe. He
made his own machinery, aud It. was
something Of an experiment, but he was
so fortunate as to strike q bed OF valuable
clay. Clay whicllTis adapted TO tho manu-
Ifacture Of brick will not always make good
sewer pipe. The business has branched
ont now Michigan, Missouri, West Vir-
Sinia and New York have large manufac-
tories. st. Louis has five, aud it looks un-
favofable'that Representatives from none
OF them were present last evening. They
may arrive this morning None OF the
Michigan men have yet arrived. thas
all along been the trouble that few have
persisted in remaining outside the com
then coming in to,cut down
prices. a dull state Of general business
nus had something to do in reducing
prices. Cities, and especially the class Of
cities using sewer pipe, have just passed
through hard times aud have made no i'm.
proyeinents not absolutely necessary.

TUE fonElGN CONTRACT

tertlay. .e
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-In the course
OF the debate on tho Foreign Contract La
Dor bill this afternoon, Mr.. Mcpherson
made a statement, which was received
with EXPLANATIONS OF surprise by Mr..
George and other Senators. lie said that
on representations being made, that
laboren in glass factories were
not sufficiently protected, Congress
increased the duty on glassware
whereupon the manufacturers immeliate-
ly demanded that their laborers should
submit 10 reduction OF 10 ten percent in
their wages. When the men refused to
submit to this reduction, the manufacture
ers first imported BeIgians to take the
places OF those shut out, and
when that did not work, they i'm
ported goods and paid tile duty
on them In order to keep their own
men out Of employment. From this he
deduCed that there were other evils than
those named in the bill against which it
was necessary to protect the workingnlan.
They should be protected from comblna.
tions OF manufacturers which prevented
them from receiving their fair share Of the
benefits OF the tariif. :.
