A coroner's Jury examining the foul
condition of the water in the south fork
of the south branch express the opinion
that its use in lug boiler was the cause
of the explosion last Sunday, and recom-
mend that some measure be taken by the
proper authorities TO cleanse the river,
particularly by the So called drainage
commission"
The so-cslled drainage commission
asserts authority over the river, but does
nothing toward purifying it. 1t is a
commission which has been in existence
nearly two years and has levied nearly
two millions of taxes upon the property
of the sanitary district, but it has done
nothing substantial toward accomplish
ing the work it has in hand. We have
heard much of acquiring right of way,
of filing condemnation suits, of inability
to carry out the law and
willingness to carry it out lack
ing the ability, of q purpose to
dodge the peremptcry requirements
OF the law, and of various plans nearly or
remotely connected with the business in
hand. There is promise of progress, but
there is no performance The situation
is as muddled as the Chic go river itself
Is there any prospect that it will clarity
None if the republican nominees for sani-
tsry trustees are elected. These men are
put forward for the purpose of holding
up the hsnds of the procrastinators who
now dominate the boari and to escape
whom certain trustees have made vacan,
cies now to be filed for the long term of
four years. 1t is an open secret that
every influence that the board can muster
will be used to elect the republican can .
didates, because the election of the dem
ocrats would mean what the public de =
mands- progress or abandonment. To
go on contributing q million and more a
year TO do-nothing administration is
beyond endurance. There must be q
change of policy. There will be no such
change if the republican candidates be-
come trustees.

Who Is Paying the Tin Plate Tax?

McKinley's tin plate tax is getting in
its work. A late number of The Iron
Age, prominent protection trade paper,
gives the market quotations in New
York and the cable report from London
in the same time. Bessemer steel plates,
known to the trade as &c coke finish"
which is one of the most widely used
grades, are quoted at 1915 box in New
York and lbs. Cd. to lbs. Cd. in London.
The English figures are equal to about
S3.25. Thus the Mckinley duty is keep
ing the price in New York $3.50 box
higher than in England. OF this differ
ence $2.37 is the duty on box of plates.
Meanwhile there is no immediate pros
pect that our much heralded political
tin plate mills are going to cause de-
cline IL prices, as was promised so pro-
fusely. On the contrary, prices are tend
ing upward. So the English will continue
to buy lin plates at 1926 box, while
the American public will be compelled
to pay 1915 a box to amuse a few fellows
who are experimenting in plates for use
in Repu blican conventions and McKin-
ley parallels What does the public think
of it? Is it not rather costly fun? Roman
candles, skyrockets and cannon crackers
would be much cheaper.

Modes for Small Children.

In many respects French fashions for
children stand unrivaled- They under
stand the hang of the little skirts and the
exact length they ought to be-. For little
children in Paris there is a penchant for
quaint Kate Greenaway modes, and then
the little skirts begin to shorten; but when
the age of ten is attained they lengthen till
they reach the top of the boots They are
made scanty and gathered in at the waist,
all the trimmings being fat, of braid. rib
bon or velvet. Fur is even admissible.
The bodices are loose, the stockings are
black. Plaid veivets are worn, and great
deal of lace; but there is nothing that is
altogether new, unless it be the use of
white cloth for evening wear with very
handsome guipure.

Matches.

Every man, woman and child in Europe
and America, taking the average, uses
eight matches every day in the year.
Does it not seem wonderful when one
considers the enormous number of matches
which at that rate the civilized world
uses each year to light its fires, it's pipes
and cigars and other things which require
igniting for purposes of everyday con-
veniencei The very notion of getting on
without them seems so absurd that one
does not realize that it is only within the
last sixty years that they have been pro-
durable.
How marvelously cheap they are tool In
fact there is no product of human manu-
facture that better illustrates the expense
saving advantages of machinery. Wht 4
one machine will turn out $4,000, 900
matches in ten hours, why should not
mankind regard the phenomenon of fires
as too commonplace to be worthy of Sc
rious consideration?-Wa Washington Star.

DUBUQUE Telegraph: Not single in
dustry that has been afforded increased
protection by it has thus far advanced
the wages of its employees because of the
enactment of the Mckinley bill. On the
other hand hundreds can be named that
have decreased wages. In the face of
these facts the assertion that high protec-
ton means high wages is false. Instead
of better pay for labor, high protection
means better profits for the coddled
bsrons.

Canada's surplus wheat crop will
amount 70 at least $4,000, 900, more than
twice as much as last year. Should the
price be shade lower for it than for
our own crop, American millers can af-
ford to import it in spite of the McKin-
ley protection" of twenty-five cents per
bushel, for, having made it into -four,
they will be entitled to drawback of
90 per cent. of the duty on exporting it.
The Mckinley protection" to American
wheat growers, therefore. in such cases
amounts to only 81 mills per bushel-a
