ANOTHER WELL.

Link Furman, one of the enterprsing
young farmers Of north Hand, informs the
Press that the citizens of his township,
1lI-69. have petitioned the county offi-
GERS to sink an artesian well. The purpose
is to put the we'll down at convent ent
point between two draws, in to which the
whole body Of water will be run. They
will thus have two living streams throagh
the township, and will be able to irngats
considerable bottom land along the
draws II Is to be hoped more thorough

Mr.. MEDIIL seems to have put his
foot into it by going up to New York
and saying that the Columbus exposition
must be postponed until 1898. If it were
MIR. MEDILL's foot only that was
crushed, it would be but little matter.
AS it was, he put ChicagO's foot into it;
for Mr.. MEDLL is a representative
Chicago citizen; he is at the head of
great newspaper establishment which
is supposed to reflect popular sentiment
in Chicago, so that whatever he says
concerning matters pertaining to the
worlds fair is supposed to be spoken by
the card. just such talk as he INDUCED
in will encourage New York to re-enter
the fight, and if she does she will
probably wind up Chicago in the SEN
ate. An exposition in 1892 and one
in 1898 are two entirely distinct propO-
sitionS. New York was beaten Oh the
1892 proposition, and most gracefully
accepted defeat, If Chicago now pro-
poses to spring another proposition on
congress, then New York will feel that
she will be justified in re-entering the
fight; and, having repaired her breaches,
she will he in better condition to fight
Chicago than she was the last time.
The best thing Chicago's citizens can do
is to accept the prize just as they got it,
ana make the most of it. 1t must be re-
membered chat there have been several
changes in the lower house of congress
since Chicago won her victory. The
Republicans have unseated several
members, and propose to unseat
several more, all of whom voted
for Chicago. The new members may be
of a mind TO vote for New York or
Washington; and. if so. that would
leave Chicago short of a majority in
case the fight were renewed in the house.
We would suggest to Mr.. MEDILL that
there is nothing like holding on to a
good thing when you have got it. Let
New York, or Washington, or st. Louis
talk about pOstponement if they want
to, but lot the Chicago folks go to work
on the exposition of 1892 and work so
vigorously as to leave 10 doubt but that
the great show will be in ship-shape
when the opening day rolls around.

INDUSTRIOUS PESTS.

Whatever may be said of the two
New Hampshire senators, it must be
conceded that they are marvels of in
dustry. The late main discourse of
BLAIR on his educational hobby com
priSed 5000 words, and he probably
speaks $50 words minute. The effort
would make about $50 columns of the
GLOBE. Still, that is but part of his
talking on the subject. His colleague,
CHANDLER, is a bore of rather small
caliber, but more harmful. lie makes
the Southern outrage business Spe-
Cialty, and invites eaT-puling by his
venom and malignity. Occasionally,
however, he diversifies his exercises, as
in the case of the bill he brought into
the senate the other day to restrict i'm
migration. 1t is a bill Of more than
fifty sections, and comprises a won
derful array of detail. The pres
ent law covers about all the de-
sirable features of the bill in
excluding the insane, plupers, idiots,
criminals and contract laborGrS. 1t per-
haps needs more efficient or judicIOuS
enforcement. This CHANDLER bill sug-
gestS the mind that cannot see over its
native hills, and is worthy OF the petty
states of the old world in their con-
stricted eias. A person wanting to
come to this country must first go be-
fore United States consul and make
oath that he is not ''pnlygamiSt. an
archist or socialist" and does not believe
in their erratic notions. At the late
election in Germany the Socialists
polled about 100000 votes, and 1t is
not alleged that they are worse citizens
than the average of other parties. Then
oath must also be made that the person
does not want to 20 to the United States
''fOr the purpose OF laboring for a time
and then returning" Those who would
come ''fOr travel, pleasure or tenn
porary residence" also must 60 to
the consul and swear that they
shave no intention Of residing, or
seeking or accepting employment
in this country" Severe penalties are
provided in case it is ever discovered
that one has changed his mind and ac-
Cepted employment. The party who
employs him incurs the same penalties.
The bill is full of penalties. In
ducements are held out to spies and
informerS to track out those who come
ana prefer charges. The genius of Am
erican institutions is against all this
sort of thing. 1t should be left for
Russia and the despotic lands. 1t would
make it an undesirable re zion to visit or
find homes in. Bad people would take
all the oatns and decent ones he shut
out. People ought not to think wrong,
especially in politics: but in olden times
the ruler who punished persons for
thinking wrong was voted a tyrant.
With measures of this sort the rhetoric
of freedom orators will have to be recaSt.

L. w. Hugo was elected president of

neat speech, thanking the council for
the honor conferred upon him, and in
truduced Mayor Davis, who delivered a
lengthy message. The document COM
mended the fire department for eff
cheney, and recommended a large in-
atus. The health department was
censured for its inef1iciency and
changes in that department will be
forthcoming in short time. Sal0oniStS
will be required to observe all state and
municipal laws rigidly, and gambling
houses will be closed. The social evil
was not alluded to. The city lookup
was called disgrace to civilization and
unfit for human beings. A police ma
iron to care for female prisoners will be
appointed. A number of other meas
ureS for public good were suggested,
and the message was received with
great cheering. The council then adj
journed. BY a lamentable oversight
Mayor Sutphin was not allowed to de-
liver his parting message.
