The House Drainage Issue.

Are the city authorities taking any steps
toward deciding upon system of house
drainage? If not, why notf Now is the
time for considering the matter, so that a
system ca1 be adopted. plans prepared and
arrangements made for beginning work by
the time cold weather begins.
II all consideration of the matter is put
off until cold weather, it will be spring be-
fore there will be any agreement as to the
system best adapted to the city, and before
anything can be done to put the system in
operation the weather will be so warm that
it will not be regarded safe to disturb the
soil.
1t can be said without fear of contradic-
ton that public sentiment is in favor of
system of house drainage. That being the
case the authorities should set at whork at
once to determine upon system. There
should be no delay about this. When the
system is agreed upon there should
be a prompt and vigorous effort to give the
city the benefit of it at the earliest possible
day

A Funny World Is This.
From GoOddIT's Sun.

This world is very funny,
For no matter how much money
Man is earning he will spend it. and be hard I'D
all the time;
To his utmost he is straining
To catch up without attaining,
Till he makes his life q burden when it should be
bliss sublime
He who earns a thousand merely
Thinks two thousand dollars yearly
Would be just the figures to make happiness
complete;
But his income when it doubles,
Only multiples his troubles,
For his outgo then increasing makes his both
ends worse to meet.
1t is run in debt and borrow,
Flush to-day and broke tomorrow,
Financering every which way to postpone the
day of DOOM
Spending money ere he makes it,
And then wondering what takes it,
Till he giving up the riddle, looks for rests
within the tomb.
Oh, this world is very funny
To the average man whose money
Doesn't quite pay for the dancing that he does
before he should
And he kills himself by trying
Just little higher flying
Than is suited for his pocket and his own eter-
nal good.

Mr.. Thurman, in his Indianapolis speech
Friday, emphasized the fact that nearly
twice as much money has been awarded to
veterans under Mr. Cieveland's administra-
ton as was awarded under all former ad-
ministrations combined. That is one side
Of MIR. Cleveland's pension record. Here is
the other side, presented by the New York
Times: 1--WE venture to say that, IL the
private pension acts passed in the last three
and half years had been submitted to
board Of five veteran soldiers of the union,
thoroughly familiar with the pension laws
and practice, and desiring to make de.
cisions in accordance with justice aud COM
mon honesty, more vetces would have been
recommended by that board than President
Cleveland has made" Mr.. Cleveland has
done his duty with regard to pensions, and
st is not surprising that union veterans in
Indiana are forming Cleveland and Thur
man clubs.

The southern people have charged, and have

Butler, in an article on "Defenseless
Canada" in the October number of the
North american Rerie1r, admits them to
be true, although he excuses Gen. Sherman
by saying that he knew nothing
of them at the time, and was not SC situated
that he could know. In his article, Gen.
Butler points out the necessity, if an army

mans 'bummersn that he knew nothing
about the outrages which they committed.
How could he have helped to know of them.
Was he not with his army, and were not
complaints of them constantly made to
him? Is there any record of an effort on
his part to suppress the "bummers" and
pun sh them for their lawless acts9 Gen.
Blu Ter wants to deal gently with Gen. Sher-
man, and, therefore, he excuses him for not
protecting the defcnseless people, through
whose country his army passed, from out
RACES and plumber, by saying that he was
Ignorant of what his "bummers" did.
Gen Butler says, however, that
the creatures who make up the hummer ex-
crescence of an army ''should be picked up
with diligence and energy and hanged on
the trees bordering the line of march. :"
That is just what Sherman would have done
If he had wanted to protect the people from

BILE to believe that he was ignorant of what
horrible deeds were being done along the

Mr.. B. j. La Mothe asks the New York
Tribune if passenger cars cannot be built
in such manner that they will not break
in case of accident, and proceeds to answer
the question as follows: soft steel cannot
be broken Gt might be bent sometimes) and
it cannot burn. Why. then, not make the
frames of passenger cars of steele In that
case the interior ought to be lined, as far as
possible with soft and elastic substances
The seats or berths ought also to be made so
that they could not break" Mr.. La Mothe
thinks the day of metallic cars will surely
come.

Just as might be expected, it turns out
that the alleged nephew of the late Vice
President Thomas A. Hendricks, whose
name is Pierce, and who is trying to get
democrats to vote for Gen. Harrison, is not
related to either Mr.. or Mrs. Hendricks
His only connection with the family con-
sists in his having had something to do with
the settlement of the family business. Mrs.
Hendricks, being asked about the matter,
stated what appears above, and said: at
seems to me absurd that Mr.. Hendricks
would ask any one to support other than
those representing democratic principles. e"
This settles Pierce.
