ing ideas expressed were that the
voters of the sanitary district should
be as fully enlightened as possible as
to the Importance of the election, and
that they should be taught that it is
their duty to vote for good men only.
Also that the newspapers should assist
in spreading all the information re-
garding the drainage question possible,
and that the politicians should be i'm
pressed with the Importance Of seeing
to it that both parties nominate only
frst-class men.
The general sentiment of the meet
ing was embodied in the following res
olution, which was offered by n. NJ.
Pence and unanimously adopted
"ReSolUed, That the Chair appoint a
committee of ten, Of which the Chaiy-
man of the meeting shall be one, with
instructions to wait upon the press
and secure its cooperation in spread
ing the sentiments expressed at this
meeting, with power to call a mass
meeting for that purpose to be held
before the primaries, and that this

increase its numbers and make substi-

Revelation in Printing.

To the Man About Town an old printer
remarked the other day: 1--WE are on the
eve of a great revolution in the typo
graphical appearance of printed matter,
especially newspapers, that is, the use of
black paper printed in white. letters, in
stead of white paper printed in black
letters, as now. The change is one to be
desired by the public, for the reason that
a white letter on a black ground pos
sesses greater contrast and distinctness,
and is, consequently, easier on the eyes.
The change will give at first an odd
enough appearance to printed matter.
but the merit of it will eventually result
in. its general adoption, and in time the
black letter will be as rare as the white
letter now is. Sign painters and show
card printers recognize the superiority
of the white letter, and are rapidly
adopting it, as is evidenced by the nu-
merous white lettered signs now to be
seen on the streets and in the shops.
The change would be comparatively in
expensive to publishers, and as black is
cheaper than white paper, a saving could
be effected. With III newspapers thus
printed reading on cars and in dimly
lighted places would be not only prac-
ticabie, but easy."-St. Louis Republic.

When Lee, the poet, was confined in
Bedlam, a friend went to visit him, and
finding he could reasonably,
imagined that he was cured of his mad
ness. The poet offered to show him Bed
lam. They went over this melancholy
prison, Lee moralizing philosophically
enough all the time, to keep his com
panion perfectly at ease. AT length they
assembled TO the top of the building, and
as they were both looking down from the
perilous height, Lee seized his friend
by the arm, and exclaimed: Let us
immortalize ourselvesi let us take this
leap. Wen jump down together this
instant" ANY man could jump down
said his friend coolly); we should not
immortalize ourselves by this leap; but
let us go down, and try if we can jump
up again" The mailman, struck with
the idea of a more astonishing leap than
that which he had himself proposed,
yielded to this new impulse, and his
friend rejoiced to see him run down
stairs full of a new project for securing
immortality. 1t is needless to say they
did not again ascend together Montreal

and, moreover, beget one another. In

bance, not local, but general, do these not
beget, if disregarded? Battle aud drive

a circulation enriched, a brain and stom-
ach ~.tranauilized by this national medi-

Bitters counteract malaria, rhematism

A PROPER STEP

THE officials of the Northern Pacific
favor the scheme OF donating the arid
lands Of the western states to the state
governments for reclamation. They urge
this action on the ground that a bill tc
appropriate millions for their reclamation
by the general government will be re.
sisted by eastern senators and congress.
men and furthermore that the work could
be accomplished in FIVE years time by the
state governments while 1t would require
fifteen il attempted under national aus.
pices. The officials pledge the support
of the Northern Pacific toad companies
formed under state laws. for the purpose
of retaining arid lands.
THE LEADER is strongly of the opinion
that these lands can be reclaimed more
speedily and to better advantage by the
local than by the federal government.
Now they are practically valueless. No
one can spend the time and money neces-
sary in retaining them and pay the gov
ernment the price demanded by it.
We do not quite like the idea of mix
ing up a railroad company in work which
is purely public in its character but the
states themselves would soon be equal to
the task. With such lands owned by the
state, as THE LEADER has heretofore
pointed out. laws would be made to suit
the local conditions. Each state would
devote itself to rendering the lands within
it borders more valuable because the la
Dor would increase its taxable wealth and
thus add to the sources Of revenue. With
the national government its duties are
multifarious and the arid lands form a
comparatively unimportant factor. Gov
ornamental action has frequently thrown a
cloud on titles which have been honestly
and faithfully earned and paid for.
We are strongly in hopes that the ma.
tional government will soon take some
such radical step as that of turning over
the arid lands to the states in which they
are situated to be disposed of as the local
people may think best.

This very amusing bit of gossip from
the Chicago Herald will cause a smile to
ripple over the features of a great many
people who do not frequent banks:
Ignorant foreigners who open bank ac-
counts probably give the clerks more
trouble than any other class of depositors.
These people all seem to have an idea
that their money is filed away in a pigeon
hole for them and is kept there until they
want it. They often drop in and ask the
receiving tellers il their funds are all right,
to be on the safe side. One of the big
national banks has a large line of Chinese
deposits on hand, and some of the celes-
tials anxiously watch their deposits grow
untiltheY accumulate sufficient funds to
enable them to return to China and pass
the remainder OF their lives in afiuence.
A certain Chicago Chinaman has quite a
deposit at the bank in question and be
knows the receiving teller 30 well that be
ventures to call him by his first name.
About twice a month the Chinaman calls
on his friend and says: "Halloo, Cballie
my money all yite2" The teller Away $
replies that it is intact. Can | see it2"
asks the celestial. Just put it back IN
the vault this minute, Wing" is the
reply. II get no intlest2" inquiries Wing.
IF you leave it here seven years you get

Wing grins and goes out, satisfied that
his funds are in good hands.
