The races July 4th promise to be
most exciting. All the horses at the
track are getting in fine fettle. Daisy

rare days sport.
We have seen advertising matter

horses cut in two for the accommoda-
ton of both those windy, bunkum
villages, the horses, whole and in fine
fettle, will positively race in Morris
July 4th. They and many more fast
ones from Minneapolis, Benson, Will

entered for the races here.

Calamity PETER.

Senator PETER of Kansas made a
speech recently in New York City, in
which he tried to picture the condi-
ton of the country in the most sombre
and melancholy colors. He said among
other things that half the farms Of this
country are mortgaged for more than
they are worth. eff the whole state of
Kansas were put up at auction at
thirty days notice it would not bring
enough to pay her Indebtedness. I
make the same assertion regarding
every agricultural state in the country.
We are not starving in Kansas. We
propose to pay our debts, but we can't
pay ten per cent debt out of two
per cent business. The farms are
worth a little more than the debts
upon them, but the railroads of the
the state owe four or five times their
value"
There is no better way to describe
such talk than to call it "Pefferism."
Senator PETER is the product of ca
lamity himself. If there had been no
bad droughts and short crops in Kan
sas, the worlds catalogue of great
men would never have been enriched
with the name Of PETER. Having
thriven on misfortune, Mr.. PETER be-
ieves it his duty to keep up the i'm
preston that the country is going to
the dogs. The facts and figures,
however, are stubbornly against him.
The Kansas farmer now begins to see
the end of many of the difficulties
with which he had to contend in the
past three Or four years. There will
be little real necessity this year for the
calamity in Kansas. There are very
few industrious farmers in that state
WHO will not find good balance on
the right side of the ledger at the end
of this season. That will be the end
of Mr.. PETER. He will sit in the
United States Senate for six years.
and do his best to say solemn things
IN the most solemn way, but they will
have as much influence on the policy
and progress Of the country as the
midnight croakings of lonesome
bull-frog. Mr., PETER has mistaken
his country and his mission. There
is no room here for a calamity party,
and there is no time for Pefferism.

As strange as it may seem, never
theless il is fact, that Col. j. j. Cop
pinger, son-in-law of Secretary Blaine,
who has been in the U. S. army fer 30
years, has only recently become an
American citizen. He made his first
statement some years ago, but ne
elected to complete the steps to be-
come an Ameaican citizen until his
attention was called to the matter
quite recently. He was q Papal Zou
ave until 1861, when he came to this
country and entered the Union army
as lieutenant, and for distinguished
services was promoted to the rank of
colonel.

WEDNESDAY, JULY /, 1901.
Water Works Again.

We have carefully read the ordl-
nance which the grantees OF the pro-
posed water works system ask our
village council to adopt, and we can
not for the life of us see anything
unjust or or unfair in its provisions.
1t seems to us that should it be adj
opted the council would be complete
master of the situation and have the
whole thing under its control.
The ordinance gives the grantees
the right to lay water mains along
our streets and alleys, but not to I'M
necessarily obstruct or damage the
same; to furnish the village and its
inhabitants with a sufficient supply
of water from the Pomme Gle Ierre
river, or from the source from which
said river is furnished; to construct
hydrants to be used for fire protee-
ton and street sprinklmg; that said
water supply for fire purposes shall
be sufficient for four fire streams from
four hydrants, each stream using one
hundred feet of two and one-half inch
hose with one inch rising nozzles, and
said stream shall reach verticle
height of fifty feet in still air.
The council to designate the number
of hydrants that shall be constructed
for the use of the village, The gram
tees are to supply any and all the in
habitants of the village upon the pipe
lines for any and all purposes, under
reasonable regulations. The rates to
be charged shall i'll all cases be just
and reasonable If the schedule OF
prices for water prepared by the gran
tees is considered to lie unreasonable
or excessive. the council shall prepare
and submit to the grantees q sched-
ule of prices. II not accepted by the
grantees the matter shall be submit
ted to three disinterested arbitrator.
After the price is fixed it shall remain
in force five years. At the expiration
of that time a new schedule may be
adopted if thought necessary. The
rates of water toll are to be so fixed
that the rate of interest, profit or dl-
vidend shall be eight per cent per
annum on the capital invested by the
grantees.
The franchise is to be granted for
fifty years; but on the expiration of
twenty-five years the village has the
right to purchase the water works
system, or on the expiration of any
fve-year period thereafter.
1t is also provided that the grantees
shall within two years after accepting
the franchise commence the construc-
ton of said waaer works system, and
shall have the same in operation so as
to supply the village and its inhabi-
tants with water on or before the first
day of January, 1896.
We have not attempted to give in
this article all the details contained
in the aforesaid ordinance, but some
Of the most important provisions, and
we repeat what we said at the COM
mencement, we see nothing unjust or
unfair in the ordinance, and we think
the council would act wisely in pass
ing it. Possibly some slight altera-
tons should be made, but in the main
we believe it to be all right.
Wehave not examined the ordinance
in relation to electric lights, and are
not prepared at this time to express
an opinion in relation to the same.
