THE water works question is again
before the people of the city. What
arguments can be used in favor of the
present scheme not advanced on the
former occasion is not known as the
subject had its inception during the
absence of the writer. If the present
scheme is no better than the former one
it should, and doubtless will, meet the
same fate. In any event it is best not
to be carried away by any novelty and
to seek to understand the merits of the
affair before forming an opinion either
way. Philanthropists are not tramping
around seeking to do good unless the
good comes to themselves, and every
scheme of outside parties to enrich the
city and curtail expenses may safely be
looked upon with distrust 1t may be
the present scheme might prove mutually
advantageous and when that fact is fully
demonstrated it is time enough to give
the parties the encouragement they ask.
The only existing need for water works
is the safeguard against fires, and then
| the annual cost should be compared with
the probable annual loss and govern the
action of the city. A little conservatism
is not bad thing at times.

In old cleared land there have sprung
up in fence crooks very fine growth of
young elms. This is particularly so near
road fences. By proper trimming, and
cutting out the inferior ones where the
trees are too numerous, very fine row
of shade trees could be secured in few
years. These would aid in winter in
preventing drifts and in the heat of sum-
mer would assist materially in keeping
highways cool and shady, besides they
add very much to the appearance
of the farms. These trees may be
accepted by the towns, and in that
case the owners Of the lands where
on they grow, are credited Sc. annually
on their road tag for every rod of road
in which there are shade trees set two
rods apart.
Farmers when moving fences and par
ticularly IN putting up board or wire
fences along the road, are in the habit of
cutting out this thrifty growth and thus
leaving the farm bare and the roads with
out shelter. 1t would be much better
policy to properly trim these trees and
put them IN condition so that their growth
would be more vigorous and rapid.

THE Chronicle suggests that "our
Sandy" be run for congress on the
republican ticket in this district as he
would rather enjoy being clicked. y
Wouldn't Sanford enjoy the mean things
that would be said of him. The Pilot
and Chronicle both spent year or more
in humping the red-headed editorial
pugilist until each found he enjoyed it..
The meanest things that could be said of
him he would reproduce in his own
paper with evident delight, the week
after their first appearance. 1t was soon
discovered that the humping process was
merely furnishing the enemy with copy
and giving him aid and comfort. When
the good Lord made Sandford he reversed
the process of creation aud brought forth
man who likes nothing better than
bruising and being bruised. 1t might
kill him if he ran for congress and not
be buried. But he'd be the happiest
mortal in the state while he thought his
grave was being dug. Saudford is q
generous little devil when his sympathy
is touched, but he is SO cursed anxious
to have people kicking him that he hates
to do anything which might earn him a
kind word. No; if the object is to kill
him, run him for congress where he can
be elected and he would at once die from
chagrin.

ing insisted that people unable to support
themselves and relying solely upon pub
lie charity should not be allowed to
maintain the marriage relation if thereby
they increased the number of paupers.
1t is observed that the State Board of

family. The board not only advises the
separation of the couple but severely
censures the management for permitting
the couple to live as man and wife.

ONE of the soldiers from Door County
writes letter to The Sturgeon Bay
Advocate bitterly complaining of the
treatment they received in Manitowoc.
They were allowed to hunt up lodging
places for themselves and had to pay
their own bills. On the Fair grounds
the Catholic society charged them 25c.
each for meals and 15c. for lunch. In
kewaunee the preceding year everything
was free.
The fact is the Kewaunee Post got so
heavily in debt that it will take them
years with the ordinary sources of
revenue to pay it. The old soldiers of
this place came to the conclusion after
taking counsel with other posts, that it
was by far the better way to have each
man pay his ordinary expenses. The
Pilot knows nothing of what the Post at
this place promised, but the old veterans
of this county have high sense of pro-
priety and would treat any visitors with
decency and proper hospitality. They
would naturally feel that those who came
not so much to the reunion as to free
entertainment, acted with more propriety
in leaving than in coming.
