DEAR S1R:-As the citizens of Will
mar will, on March 9TH next, vote on
the question of erecting water works;
and as various rllmors have been, and
are now being circulated in our village,
that the water works of Lichfield, Mimi.
is failure, and that your people are
dissatisfied with it on account of the
increase of taxation, without cores
ponding benefits; and as we desire our
citizens to know the truth in the matter,
that all gossip may Be set at rest; l
have been asked to communicate with
you, as you are the secretary of the
water board, having the management
in these matters, and trust to your
kindness for full answers covering the
following points:
l. How many miles of pipes has
Lithfield and cost of construction?
2. Do you get all the water you need
for village easily?
3. Has the works at any time frozen
up so water could not be had? If so,
how often and at what temperature?
4. Are the people suffering under
increasing taxation, and to what ex-
tent2
S. Did you get any reduction in in
surance, and how much?
6. Would Litchfield be willing to
part with her water works and have
bonds against her cancelled if offered?
]. What per cent, of your people are
complaining, or have reason to COM
- plain, from any hardships imposed
upon them in consequence of the erec-
ton of water works.
Respectfully, H. J. RAMsErr,
Village Recorder.

HI. Ramsett,
Villa 90 Recorder, Willmar, MINI
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 18th ult.
received and contents noted. While l
an quite willing to give you all the
facts asked for in relation to our water
works, l am at the same time quite as
unwilling to try and "set at rest" all
the gossip" about the same, which
just at the present time seems to be
the stock in trade of some of your
good Willmar people. After having
two or three committees, from your
citizens and village. authorities, down
here to personally examine our water
, works plant, it would seem that thei1
report should be final. However,
will answer your questions, and fo1
convenience have numbered them from
l to Z, inclusive.
l. Something over 8 miles of pipt
(mains). Our entire water works plan
cost the village $19,977. 5S.
2. We get all the water necessary
The supply is inexhaustible and tn
quality good.
3. No! Not particle of frost il
any main hydrant this winter and no
a single moment when the water work
were not in perfect order.
4. No! The reduction in the gen
eral expense of the town, taken in con
nection with the income derived from
water privileges and electric lights
will, it is believed, pay the interest OF
our bonds without materially raisin,
the tax levy.
5. Yes! We got general basis re
duction of Is per cent, and the re-ratins
of our town in November last reduced
the rates all the way from Is to so per

ter, location and expense Of the risk

As It became known that the Front

contemplated laying track on Mary

Superintendent Archer, of the City
Railway Company, determined to
check mate them. Accordingly six

to report TO Mr.. Archer last night, for
repairs on the road. The men did not
know they were to work until about
11.30 o'clock, when Just as the last car
had passed over the Front street road,
they were ordered to commence lay
ing track along Monroe street. and
across Front. The work was pushed

Those art-full Glasgow
bingham men have set a
hard pace for the rest Of the

the counters to-day you can
see for the first time four
new conceits in their Cling
hams.
Daintiest and drcssicst of
the lot, perhaps, are the
polka dots big and little
woven in pretty, contrasting
colors on the filmiest Zephyr
Bingham. All the fayorite
ground colors, heightened by
beauty spots. You need to
see them to sense their full
loneliness. 60 cents a yard.
In another style broad lace
stripes give richness and tone
to a stuff already in the front
rank. In still another there
is anoyer-plaiding of Chenille
cord, giving almost as much
lift to the beauty of the goods
as embroidery does to Swiss
OF cambria. Either Of these
styles so cents.
A satin-twilled Check ends
the newcomer list for the day.
Quietly rich, modestly hand

WINSrrEa, Jan. %. Rev. J. Settles,
missionary among the Indian tribes
around Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba,
writes that camps of Indians hunting
on the east side Of Lake Winnipeg, not
very far from Blood Vein River, near
Dog Head, We're visited by a band Of
wolves, about 100 in number. They
attacked the camps and killed many
Indians and devodred them One In
dian cudgelcd aud killed 20 wolves,
another Indian climbed up tree with
his gun and shot down 20. One got on
q stage, which WIS not very high, and
the wolves got him down and devoured
him.
There is a great panic among the In.
dams i'll TINT quarter. Tho Indians
say there are no deer, consequently
the wolves are mad with hunger.

wkshlsoroN, Jan. BIN the United
States Senate yesterday, Mr.. Stewart
read IT, Telegram from Mr.. Stanford
regarding the latter's pair on the
closure rule. The House bill to ratify
the agreement with the Sac and Fox
and Iowa Indians, of Oklahoma Terri
tory, was passed, with amendments.
The Apportionment bill was discussed
at length, Mr.. Hale giving notice that
he would ask a vote on 1t at noon to-
day.
In the House the journal was ap.
proved without question" The con-
ference report for the disposal OF the
Fort Ellis Military Reservation under
the Homestead law was agreed to.
Senate resolution was agreed to for
the printing Of 10000 extra copies of
the report of the Irrigation Commit
tee. The Military Academy bill was
considered in Committee OF the
Whole.
Senator Frye yesterday proposed an
amendment to the Diplomatic Appro-
priation bill raising the mission to
Mexico to the first class and appropri-
ating 9l8,500 to meet the expenses of
the Legation. The amendment is
recommended by Secretary Blaine.
Senator Sherman has moved an
amendment advancing the rank of
Minister to Greece to that OF Envoy,
including Roumania and Seryia In his
mission, and making his SALARY $500.
A delegation OF business men In
Boston, appointed at q recent meeting
In Fanueil Hall, called on the Presi-
dent yesterday morning, and protested
against the passage Of the Free Coin
age bill. The President said IL would
be improper for him at this time to ex-
press his views on the subject. The
delegates also called on the Secretary
of the Treasury, and also appeared
before the House Committee on Coin
age.
At q meeting of the Providence,
Rhode Island, Board OF Trade yester-
day afternoon, resolutions were un-
animously adopted reciting that the
proposed silver legislation at Wash
ington would undoubtedly be pro-
ductive of widespread disaster to the
business interests OF the nation and
State, and that, as representatives of
the business interests of the city OF
Providence, the meeting protests
against the passage of the pending
bill, and requests Rhode Island Re-
personalities In Congress to exert
their utmost influence TO prevent SO
pernicious and disastrous legislation"

Much will depend upon the action OF
Governor Reynolds now in his appoint
.ment Of commissioners under tho Five
Comfy Commissioner bill, as to
whether New Castle county govern
ment shall 10 run in the interests OF
reform and good government, or
whether it shall be run in the interests
of the old Democratic party hacks and
'roosters' that the people decided
should not rule at the late election.
We are not one of the Governors ad-
visers but il we could by any posi-
bility catch his ear we would whisper
in IL: Be careful who you appoint as
comptroller and commissioners under
this bill. You have comptroller and
five commissioners to appoint.
There are good men in both parties
who will make creditable county
record If they are appointed. 1t is
taken for granted of course that three
OF the five commissioners are to be
Democrats. This the Governor cannot
get over. He is compelled to appoint
a commissioner in each district In po-
litlcal sympathy with the majority in
those districts, and as there are three
Democratic districts there must
necessarily be three Democratic COM
missloners. This much Is conceded
and the Governor is helpless, except
as to the high personal integrity and
character of those he appoints. While
there are many good honest Demo-
Gratis both In the city and county, the
Governor can relieve himself from the
necessity of appointing any of the
''rooster5a who have made themselves
so busy at Dover in railroading the
bill through the Legislature.
As to the appointment OF a County
Comptroller, Governor Reynolds is
not bound by any partisan require
ment OF the bill. He can appoint either
a Republican or a Democrat, and as a
majority of the commissioners are to
be Democrats, who in turn will appoint
all Democratic county officials, would

THURSDAY. JANUARY 30, 1891.


The Democrats in the lower House
OF the Legislature were silent in
speeches while putting through the
Five County Commissioner bill to
throttle the voice of the people of
New Castle County. They were silent,
not that none Of them could make an
address, not for want of intelligence,
not for need Of quickening con-
science for they were all fluent as
Ieasoners at other times and places;
all Intelligent, all or nearly all OF them
professed Christians, protesting to
have consciences void of offence, but
railroading through a political mea-
sure, was something that would bear
no remarks In favor of it, needed no
Intelligent action nor an awakened
conscience.
II was an unjust, tyrannical measure
to crush out the will of maiorities and
establish In lieu thereof the dictum of
a party. The Democratic members
deserve the greatest credit for their
policy Of silence. It was the proper
course for them to pursue. Thu party
god that rode rough-shod over their
wills demanded votes, not explana-
lions; fettered action, not Intelligent
thought; delivery OF the goods with
out question, and the party god got
all he demanded. No doubt these same
Democratic members are glad the dis
agreeable duty Of showing their fealty
to their party is over, and they can
turn their minds TO other legislation
that does not require such q sacrifice
of principle nor cause such q strain
upon honest convictions of duty.
They must feel glad that they have
at last shaken off such party leeches
as Lee and Neary for the time being
at least, and they no doubt hope they
will never return again. But all this
does not save Now Castle county, il
the throttling bill is allowed to pass
through the Senate In the same man
ner. She lies bleeding at the Demo-
cratic altar of Injustice and opnres-
sion. She is excluded from the sister
hood of counties and has no voice in
her own government. Her potent
voice at the late election in which she
dragged her oppressors from thelr
throne Of ycnal corruption md ex.
trayaganee, has been rendered impo.
tent by legislature controlled by the
men she dragged from power and who
will be installed in their old places by
men who are free from their oppres
