MANITOWOC
Water Works Go.

To THE CITIZENS OF MANITOWoC:-
The best time to tap the main water
pipes for service pipes to be laid to
the premises of consumers is during
the time that the main pipes are be-
ing laid in the streets, and while the
works are under construction. The
trenches can then be all filled back
properly and the streets made uni
form. Parties wanting water should
make application at once at the
Water Works Cos. office on Eighth
street, near the bridge, where all in
formation will be cheerfully given
Consumers making application now
will not be called upon for water
rents until they have actually entered
upon It's use.
We have established a PLUMBING
BUSINESS and are prepared to do first
class Plumbing Work at low prices.
Parties wishing such work will do
well to call, or drop postal, so that
they will be prepared for the water
when it is turned on.

YEARS ago fire insurance companies
did large business insuring farm houses
and stock. The farmers organized their
own insurance companies and now insure
their property in local mutual insurance
companies more solvent and responsible
than the regular fire insurance companies,
and for about one-tenth the cost. Los
ing this property the insurance COM
panies have raised their rates on city
property and for years have been prac-
ticing a system of extortion. Some prop
erty in this city pays six per cent. per
annum insurance. This is practical con-
fscation. It is turning the property
over to the insurance companies while
relieving them of taxation and other ex-
penses.
Can not property holders in the city
take hint from the farmers action in
this matter and organize local insurance
companies? If the amount paid out to
insurance companies by property owners
of this city, in exces of the losses sustain
ed the last ten years, could be saved,
there would be a fund on hand sufficient
to meet the probable losses Of the next
20 years without asking from the insured
one cent. Therewould be business" in
such proceeding and an extensive say
ing of money. Ask the mill owners how
they like their cooperative insurance
company? Insurance companies have
grown too dictatorial and offensive. 1t
is high time people sought relief.

The refusal of Porter to accept the
republican nomination for governor of
Indiana has created a panic among Har-
rison's supporters. They practically
admit that Harrison cannot carry the
state unless under the guise of Porter's
candidacy. Every effort is being made
to induce Porter to reconsider his deter
mination but each serves only to make
him emphasize his purpose not to be a
candidate. The laborers are unfriendly
to Harrison but quite partial to Porter
and the scheme is to use Porter as a
sugar coating for the Harrison pill.

BLAINE's arrival in this country may
publican campaign. Indeed, the hopes
of the party now center on him. The
man whose nomination would defeat the
republican party is the only man in the
party who can make its success possible.
1t may well be doubted that he will labor
to prove that the defeat of 1884 was due
to him. The very reasons which made
him decline the nomination are potent to
prevent him from doing the work which
would naturally fall upon the nominee.
Blaine cannot wholly hold aloof fl ON the
campaign; neither can he take its chief
burdens upon himself. ..

THE Milwaukee Journal office has late
ly put in a new perfecting printing press
with a capacity of 10000 per hour. The
growth of The Journal has been a most
remarkable one. With the record of SO
many of its predecessors to discourage
it, The Journal persisted in making i'm
provements until it became a necessity
to those who sought the news. 1t was a
bold venture among the graves OF so
many papers which started out with a
backing and promise which were absent
in the case of the little Journal. But it
won its way, saucy and independent in
its youth, independent and dign;fed in
its more mature years. The Journal is
no longer a STRIPPING; it is an able, fully
developed and fearless newspaper.

HE absolutely silly argument that
England is watching developments IL
this country with interest and hoping for
the passage of the Mills bill falls fiat
when the facts are examined. The argu-
ment has force only with those who per-
NIT the party to do their thinking and
who would be tariff reformers. high pro-
tectlonists or absolute free traders Just
as the party to which they belong
might choose to dictate.
English laborers, we are told. are wait
ing with anxiety for the election of Cleve-
land and starving in the meantime
What trash to present to intelligent
readers! England is interested in manu-
featuring and wants cheap raw material.
The Mills bill, which is made a part OF
the platform of the democratic party.
places very little except raw material
upon the free list. The English Iaborer
could not hope for much relief from his
starving condition through the admission
of raw products. England sends about
one-half the manufactured wool i'm
ported into the United States. How
much would it benefit the starving labor
er If she sent in all which the United
States need beyond their own produc-
ton? She sends IN no lumber? how
does placing lumbe- on the free list
strike" the English laborer who is starry
ing while waiting the consummation of
Cleveland's scheme to turn tits country
over 10 England?
The Mills bill keeps a pretty stiff tax
on all manufactured articles. much higher
than what is added by the domestic
manufacturer to the price of the foreign
article, If the protectionists tell the truth.
So that the English laborer finds but
little prospect of relief even 10 the DUNN
ing into this country of the articles
which contain his labor.

Mrs. PRICE, wife of the late Congress
man Price of this state, is to have pen
sion. Her husband was not soldier
but served two terms in congress. He
left large fortune and Mrs. Price is
wealthy. The appropriation for Mrs.
Price was made part of the regular ap-
preparation bill so that it cannot be de-
feated and the President cannot veto it
without setting aside the whole appro-
priation bill. The thing is an outrage
upon the country.

The outrageous treatment to which
publishers of newspapers have been sub
jected to has resulted in the organization
among printers of an insurance company
of their own. There is not a printing
office In the country which viii not with
draw its insurance from the regular COM
panies which have been prosecuting them.
There has been no other class of property
in the state on which losses have been as
light as upon printing material. Bar
ring the danger from the presence OF
loafers there is no other class of proper
ty less liable to destruction by fire. The
insurance companies knew well the class
OF people whom they sought to Cypress
by high rates. A printing office cannot
change its quarters without considerable
loss. There are few buildings which are
suitable to the needs of printing office
and, unfortunately, there is, as a rule, so
| little business stamina In publishers OF
newspapers that they submit without
complaint to wrong done them in bust
ness.
Every newspaper in this state should
inaugurate retaliatory measures against
/ the fire insurance companies. The war
should be carried right home to them.
Every special privilege now granted them
| by law should be withdrawn. Thepapers
can do this if they are united and earnest
The Pilot hoped that the Editorial AS
ISOLATION would take some steps to right
the wrongs publishers have suffered at
the hands of insurance companies, rather
than waste a week In travelling on dead
head passes and accepting the hospital,
ity of cities. There is not much benefit
to the profession in writing about "we'
ate and what 'we" saw and what "we'
heard at various places. The purposed
insurance company could be organized
and steps taken to effectually visit upon
the insurance companies the wrath they
have earned from publishers of news
papers. The neglect of the Association
can be remedied by the individual action
Of the newspapers. On this matter al
can stand on common ground.

THE investigation now going on IN
New York reveals some startling facts in
the Importation of contract labor by many
of the large concerns of the United States.
Paid agents have been sent over to Italy
to get laborers to work in the iron ore
mines, railroads and other establishments.
These agents were allowed commissions
on the laborers they procured. These
facts. taken In connection with the frothy
protestations that protection is solely in
the interests of American labor make a
strong case of hypocrisy. The pauper
labor of Europe is imported and brought
into direct competition with American
labor and by those who profess to be
most anxious to guard our home labor
by means of tariff.
