THE anti-sewerage remOnstrance is
based on misrepresentation, or what is
worse, misrepresentation. A few who
either don't know, or knowing misrep-
resent the facts, are back OF it. The
proposition to build a central main
sewer calls for a1evy of three mills,
or 80 cents OH the 800. That is the
proposition, and that is all of it. Any
one that would object to that, would
object to physicians If we had none. to
churches and school houses If we were
without them, or to anything else use
full, civilizing or humaniZing that did
not come spontaneously and without
effort or expense. That is the sort of
enterprise and philosophy found in the
Indian. Can't we do any better? We
talk CONTEMPORARY of the moss-back.
What is a man who will refuse 80 cents
on 800 to cleanse the town of its filth
and offal but a moss-back of the most
aggravated type. The objections OF
such men ought not, and we think will
not avail with the council when the
matter is up for serious consideration.

Ye..erd-y,. DoIogs at hartford

1C1NO'N~ - ASOA18S a. MAJ NAOH -
The folks for miles around Hartford
left the fields yesterday and went to
town for days frolic. At 1880 the
train from EmpOria arrived, bringing
Company L, of the Kansas National
Guards and two hundred and fifty
others bent on An outing. A process
sion was formed on the streets headed
by the band and all filed out to the
grounds on the south bank of the clas-
sic Neosho, about a quarter of a mile
distant. DIR, Sutton of Hartford acted
as master of ceremonies. Mrs.
A. w. Davis read the declaration of
Independence, and we should think
racked and tore her voice forever in
the effort to be heard. Yet, beyond a
few feet, no one could catch anything
more than shrill and rasping sound
that fell unpleasantly on the ear. 1t
is very we'll to give women a show and
all that, but putting one forward on
such an occasion to read in the open
air, is very silly piece of business.
Such an occasion demands a mascu-
line voice, clear and strong reinforced
by pair of lungs such as makes bray
ing a success in a certain animal.
After the reading. everybody
went to dinner, aud lunch par
ties covered the grounds in every
direction. Behind the trees. the BOYS
uncorked their bottles and drank a
health to resubmission.
After dinner the Rev. Sparks of Bur
lington addressed such as cared to ap-
proach the speakers stand. A few
toasts were gwen and responded to,
Harrison Kelly though advertised as
orator of the day, did not appear. He
was too busy in Washington taking the
scalps of the remaining democratic
postmasters in his district.

The druggist in reply exhibited small

other boxes, suggestive of pills and other
uncomfortable things, but when the top
was removed a number Of small, bead
like seeds were exposed. They were
about the size Of pea beans and shaped
like Prince Rupert's drops.

How Chicago Dealers Explain the Sudden
Advance In Prices.
CHICAGO, March 15.-A Dispatch from
Fargo, Oak, regarding the agitation
among the farmers over the binding Irvine
trust says:
"a meeting Will be held next Wednss-
day for the purpose of devising, ifpOssible,
some means of relief It is proposed to
establish a large tWine factory and manu-
facture flax fibre into Irvine. Last year
there were 329, 2SS acres planted to flax in
the Territory, and if it is only demon
strated that a good quality of binding
Irvine can be made from this fibre there
will be no trouble in procuring all the raw
material necessary to supply the home de-
mand."
In Chicago THERE is Q difference of opin-
ion among local dealers, though most of
them contend that no trust or corner has
been organized. A member of one large
firm who recently returned from an in
spectiOn of the Eastern market, says that
the present eituation has grown out Of the
law of supply and demand. His view is
that for two years buyers have been con-
sentative, and consequently stocks have
not been kept up. Suddenly it is dis
covered that the supply is inadequate and
consequently prices increase.
The amount of hemp in sight for the
present season was 120, 600 bales more than
last year, while the demand was for 16O.-
600 more, making a shortage of 40, 600
bales. When this discovery was made all
the world went to the Manila Islands and
Mexico, the chief hemp producing coun-
tries, and the holders of hemp in those
places reaped the golden harvest which
the farmers accuse the manufacturers of
having secured. The sissl or Mexican fibre
now costs 121 cents a pound, while the
Manila costs 144 cents 70 importers. I'm
der these circumstances this dealer con-
tends that farmers cannot expect to buy
Irvine for 12@ 10 Is cents
Several Otner firms expressed the same
opinion. All the hemp in sight, they say,
has been sold for delivery by August l,
aud there is 20 prospect for relief until
new crop is harvested.
