Water Works Go.

TOTHE 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 viii be cheerfully given
Consumers making application now
will not be called upon for water
rents until they have actually entered
upon its 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 a postal, so that
they will be prepared for the water
when it is turned on.

WhAT is there in politics which cult
Yates deceit in men? There is no good
reason why Kewaunee county should
have selected four delegates solid for
Villas and three solid for Hudd, the coun-
ty having only four delegates in all. If
Villas can put faith in men he has four
delegates from Kewaunee county, and
unless Hudd is wofully deceived he has
three. There must be deception of the
most glazing kind somewhere.
Ozaukee county is IN like state of de-
ightful division between the two candi-
dates, and Sheboygan falls into line with
the shutters. Prevarication may be ex-
pected among many OF the delegates
chosen by the primaries, but it would
seem that men who represent county
in congressional convention would have
the candor to state their predictions or
at least have the honesty not to attempt
to deceive both sides.

THE Inter Ocean has been studying up
the Mills bill and finds that 1t brings
about tariff reduction of . per cent,
instead of 5 per cent. as claimed, and
claims that the extension of the free list
was purposely omitted in the calculation
to determine the average reduction made
by the bill. The free list addition would
reduce the revenue S20,OO000O, if the ex-
animation made by The Inter Ocean is
correct. The Pilot has not the time
necessary to determine the reduction
which the addition to the free list would
make in the revenue, but is satisfied the
Inter Ocean is at fault, seriously and
knowingly. The total revenue to the
government from duties on lumber and
all manufactures of wood, from salt and
all kinds of raw wool, is a little over
SS,O0O,O00. The reduction IN revenue
from the other articles added to the free
list is comparatively insignificant. This
does not approximate the S20,0OO,000 re-
duction which The Inter Ocean has dis
covered.
But The Inter Ocean mathematician is
something Of numskull in dealing with
figures.
The reduction is calculated on the
value of goods imported and not on tie
present average rate per cent. of duty.
When the clerk of the Committee on
Ways and Means reported that 1.-The
average rate of all dutiable goods under
present law is 47.10; under proposed bill
42.7S,'' he certainly did not mean that the
per cent. of reduction was to be deter
mined by taking 47.10 as basis. This is
the mistake which the mathematical num-
skull of The Inter Ocean makes. Even
on his figures, incorrect as they undoubt-
eddy are, the reduction made by the Mills
bill does not exceed ID per cent.
1t would be we'll for The Inter Ocean
to remember the old adage that Figures
won't ie''-at least in the result Of COM
putation. This foolish attempt to de-
celye, or stupid calculation, which ever
it may be, makes The Inter Ocean appear
most unreliable when dealing with the
tariff question.

One of the widest and most beautiful
spots in this country is Devils Lake in
this state. Many people admire it more
than they do Niagara Falls. But the
spirit of gain threatens to destroy this
rare gem of natures widest work The
granite bluffs are being blasted and
shipped for use in building. Five car
loads day are shipped now but the
force of men is TO be increased and spurs
of road run through the ravines. The
legislature should do something to stay
the vandal hand of enterprise and pre-
serve to this glorious lake its magnificent

DE-. POWELL, the labor candidate for
governor, is quite angry. He was invi-
ted to speak in Milwaukee on Artisans
Day but through some hocus pocus it
was settled that he should not. The fine

be traced in this movement. Bob is in
the employment of the republican party
and thus far has used the labor party
Just as he pleased. Now, with Nor gan's

Schilling wants To provoke Powell so

it appear that the former democrats in
the labor party are responsible for Pow
ellis non-appearance at Milwaukee.

BLAINE outlines the policy of the re-
publican party. Even on the matter of
trusts the papers fall into line with him.
Before he made the announcement that
congress had nothing to do with trusts
every republican paper while stating that
trusts were not due to the protective tar
if, stated unequivocally that the only
way to reach them was by action of con-
gress. Now the same papers are tum-
bling over one another in their haste to
announce that congress has no power over
trusts. With such wonderful facility
can some people change opinion on the
direction of party leader.

New YORK, Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut are going to be excellent
states for slippery voters this fall, in
view of the immense amount of money
raised by the manufacturers to be ex-
pended in these close states as a corrup-
ton fund. Indiara was carried for Gar
field in 1880 by thu outright purchase of
votes. The same plan is to be tried this
fall in four states. And all this for the
benefit of American labor!

CONGRESS will pass a law prohibiting
Chinese from coming to this country.
The Chinese command no votes and con-
gress will act with the vigor of a bully in
dealing with consumptive. Think of
congress trying to exclude from this
country any nationality which can mus
ter votes! There is the one circumstance
which makes all the difference in the
world in respect to the desirability of
immigration. If John Chinaman had
votes behind him and was a good politi-
cal worker he would not be thus bounced
upon by congress.

ONE of the many democrats who were
said to have gone over to Harrison be-
cause of the tariff, was Gabe Bouck.
Gabe says it is one of the blankest fool
reports to which currency has ever been
given. He viii vote for Cleveland if for
no other reason than for his message on
the tariff; and he wants the tariff lower
than is provided for by the Mills bill.

Two democrats were killed lately near
Parkersburg W. Va, because they
hurrahed for Cleveland. The murderer
acknowledges this as the only cause he
had. Why do not the republican papers
make this text for an article on politi-
cal outrages in the south? Had it been
two Negro republicans who were killed
south of Mason and Dixon's line what an
appeal would be made to the northern
heart to save the country by voting the
republican ticket.

BLAINE's trust speech is causing the
republicans considerable annoyance
They have not put it in pamphlet form
for distribution though at national head
quarters there are many applications for
it, both in person and by letter. The
republicans suspect that these applica-
tons came from democrats and are made
with malicious intent. Their. hopes de-
pend on Blaine, and they cannot well
attempt to discredit what he says.

THE Evening Wisconsin is at times alb

ceives something decidedly improper in
Cleyeland's appointee for the Chief JUS
ticiship,-Melville W. Fuller,-being pre-
sent at a reception rendered r. Q. Mills
in Chicago, and ventures the opinion that
Morrison Waite would not be guilty Of
such a trespass. Waite, while chief JUS
tee, sat and counseled with the attorneys
for Hayes during the investigation made
by the electoral commission. The Wis
consin is growing decidedly childish.

The unterrifed Rudzinski of Milwau-
kee received the labor nomination for
register of deeds of Milwaukee county.
When Rudzinski was in the state legis-
lature, attempts at pronouncing his name
were as familiar as household word.
His hair stood on end like "quills on the
fretfu1 poreupine" and his tongue wag-
ged increasingly. But he ceased to at
tract attention when the legislature ad-
journed, and now there are people who
ask who in hell's Rudzinski?" With
Rudzinski and Krackoweizer on it the
labor ticket is a weighty one with letters.

THERE is a movement against the pres
ent status of the base ball game. The
people are demanding more batting and
are tired of having the contest confined
to the pitcher and catcher. The change
is to move the pitcher back FIVE
feet and thus increase the chances of
batting. The players object to under
hand pitching.

WHEN Cleveland was elected every re-
publican Office holder became a violent
civil service reformer Cleveland began
by making changes very slowly and for
good cause only. There is no doubt that
quite a pressure was brought to bear
upon him by those anxious to be reward
ed for political services and he provoked
as much dissatisfaction among demo-
Gratis anxious for office for his dilatori-
ness, as he did from republican officials
anxious to retain position, for the changes
he made. Tie people generally would
have sustained him in permitting those
not politically offensive to retain their
positions if it were not for the whine set
up by those who were removed. This
changed public sentiment and there was
demand made for a change which the
administration was forced to heed though
not to the extent which the circumstances
made proper. The people in possession
of the Offices actually believed the posi-
tons were theirs by right, and that it
was wrong to dispossess them and ap-
point democrat.
Civil service reform is an impossibility
while partisanship remains so intense
that every act of the administration is
criticised adversely. When Senator Ed
munds coarsely announces that "the
Presidents message can wait" he creates
craftsmanship which approZimates his own.
When the senate rejects treaty for the
purpose of making political capital it
justifies the issuance of a presidential
message directed to the same end. No
party can consistently demand that the
other be truly good while taking advan-
tage of forbidden means itself

ROGER Q. MILLS has been doing some
campaign work in Illinois and says the
democrats are quite confident of carry

admit that on local issues the state is
still republican, but on the question of
tariff reduction they are confident the
state can be carried.

THE holders of government bonds
are quite anxious that there be no reduc-
ton Of the tariff and Of course put it on
the ground of concern for the American
labOrer. But their interest is much more
direct and personal than what would
enure to them through general pros
perity. They clearly see that with the
present accumulation of the surplus,
bonds not subject to call must be pur-
chased by the government, and they are
planning to make the government pay a
high premium on the bonds purchased
SO that the surplus In the treasury may
be restored to the channels of trade
This is the reason why they want the
surplus reduced by the purchase of
bonds, and want the present tariff tax
continued so that the surplus should
continue to accumulate. The bonds
which have matured are redeemed at
their face. Those which have not ma
tured must be purchased, if at all, at the
price put upon them by the holders
The government will be forced, if taxes
are not reduced, to purchase unmatured
bonds. In anticipation of this the hold
ers have been running up the price of
these bonds while urging a continuance
OF present taxation and demanding re-
ducticn of the surplus.
Since it has become apparent that the
present congress will make no reduction
In the tariff, the price of bonds has adj
vanced. The holders clearly see their
opportunity and will improve it. All
these schemes are carefully disguised
under the plea of benefit to the Iaborer
