How IL works nj Lischfield.

We clip the following from the
" inne5ago City press, of Minnesota.
1t treats of a matter in which the peo-
pie of Superior are all interested, finan-
cially and otherwise. Here is a nice
little western town where people want
to keep abreast of the times so they
put i'll water and electric light The
town gets its own light and water free
and supplies its citizens With both at d
nominal cost, and then clears 81, Os2 30
per annum. With a larger plant like
that which is and will be required by
Superior the per cent. of profits would
be proportionately much larger than
in the little town of Litchfield. Mr..
Haight made the visit to Litchfield to
get the facts because his own town is
now preparing to put in similar plant
or plants, and he wanted to know just
how it worked Here is food for
thought for the people of Superior.
". z. Haight: II visited Litchfeli
in this state last week. 1t is town
vi hpVul LOW anu
a very good water supply system: also
an electric Light plant in connection.
Both are owned and run together by
the city. | called upon Mr.. Miller,
who had charge of putting in the com
bined plants, and the operation of
same since their erection. In the spring
of 1890 they commenced the work of
putting in water works plant, and soon
after the electric plant was added.
The supply Of water consists in sys-
tenn of 2s-driye wells, all connected
to the suction pipe of pumps; two
Dayton | million gallon pumps; brick
power house and smoke stack, two 60
horse power boilers, and a LOO barrel
tank. There 50 taps to the mains.
The electric system consists of a To-
horse engine, 26 arc lights, and go in
cindescent lights. Mr.. Miller and his
son do all the work of operating both
plants, at salaries of $50 and $40 per
month respectively. 1t taxes for fuel
a cord of wood every 81 hours, worth
there $50 per cord, and $40 per month
covers all other expenses. For water
rents they receive $3.50 per year; for
electric lights $3.50. Total reefs re-
ceived for both So $50 After deduct
ing operating expenses. it leaves the
town IL balance of S2.06230, besides
having good fire protection and a
good system of street lighting

Delay Their Only Hope.

The report of the Harbor Comn,iss.
ion, after much wrangling, was finally
got before the council at its session
last Saturday night. The noseing com
mittee appointed by the west end
Chamber of Commerce to find a flaw
in the law creating the commission
were very reluctantly forced to report
that no flaw could be found, and that
the work would surely go ahead unless
the council could quicker up courage
enough to just sit down upon the
scheme without any legitimate excuse
or reason for SO doing. The council
had not got itself quite worked up to
that point last Saturday night, and SO
the who'd matter was put over for one
Week, by motion of Aid. Cross, who
included in his motion that the matter
be referred to a committee of tire, and
then to try and hide the real animus in
in his little shriveled up soul, he went
stood as being opposed to tie matter,
L only want to be sure what I am do
ing" Oh! no, Alderman Cross don t
Xant the public to think he is 50 small
Il creature as all that. He wants to be
considered great and noble, big green
frog n the puddle. He has the law be-
fore him, and he has the report of the
committee appointed for the express
purpose of finding defects in that law
which would give him reason to vote
against it, and yet says he wants
time to think about it.
Then Alderman Dundon the tool of
the Land and River improvement
company came to the aid of Mr.. Cross
in having the matter put over. lie
SAID: Il agree with Mr.. Cross (of
course he would, because the same
whip plays about the legs OF both these
should be no effort to force this thing
down our Threats. We have heard only
those directly Interested in the mat
ter, and for one want further time. "
NOW no one mas oten Trying TO FORCE
anything down NJ. Alderman DundOn' S
thro DAT, but If any one did wish to do
so, his gullet is So large that it would
not require much force for him to take
in the whole commission, contemplat
ed improvements and all. All this
talk is idle twaddle, and is disgusting
in the extreme, coming as it does
from city officials.
The matter will come up again this
evening, when it is more than likely
that both the commissioners and the
contemplated improvements will be
sat down upon by the council or swal-
lowed at one gulp by alderman Dun
don.

worse, from poverty TO bankruptcy, and
from bankruptcy to the verFe bf dis
ruption; and that In all the thirAy years
and more since democratic guns opened
fire on Fort Sumpter the party, as o
party, has never got control OF any
state. or any one city, or any one branch
OF the federal government without Civ
ing evidence That it had not changed
its nature.
Meanwhile the republican party, from
the day Of its birth until now, has been
the party Of freedom, progress, union,
honesty, honor; the party to which
whatever is best in the young manhood
Of each generation gravitates. The re-
publican party freed the slave and
saved the nation. It preserved the
country's credit. It made deprecated
currency as good as gold It settled
the Alabama claims by an arbitration
that combined "peace with honor" 1t
joined the Atlantic to the Pacific by
lines Of transcontinental railway.

DISCIPLINE AT ANNAPOLIS.
The Course at the United States Naval
Academy Very Severe.

The discipline at the United States
Naval academy is of the strictest kind,
says the Boston Herald.
Some of the punishments for aca-
demic misdemeanors are not only
unique but strikingly appropriate and
effective. When a cadet is guilty of
tardiness at any formation he is re-
quired, for a given period subsequent.
to report to the officer in charge half
an hour before the time of the forma-
ton. standing by until it takes place.
Those who oversleep themselves in the
morning are compelled for month to
turn out one hour before reveille, and.
at the first note of the bugle, to report
themselves and the room ready for in
spection.
Visiting during study hours is pun
ished by solitary confinement on the
prison ship Santee, as corrective for
too great sociability. Inattention al
drill carries with it the penalty of one
or more extra drills during recreation
hours. Habitual untidiness is cured
by requiring the careless cadet to re-
port for inspection to the officer in
charge every hour for number OF
days, usually month.
Should non-regulation clothing be
found in cadets possession it is seized
by the authorities as contraband, and
not returned until the offender leaves
the academy. 1t is thus difficult to
appear out of uniform.
But the worst punishment of all is
that visited upon a whole class or the
entire battalion. and is inflicted only in
cases of insubordination on the part ol
such large bodies. In such cases the
guilty class, or all the cadets, are de.
prived of the privilege of giving hops
and entertainments. and worse vet,
they are forbidden to walk with or to
call upon the fair sex. This depriva-
tion generally weakens them, and dis
CiDline triumphs.
