SATURDAY, MARCH se.

If there was ever any doubt as to
Speaker Crisp's attitude on the silver
question that doubt was removed on
Friday. When the roll-call showed 14S in
favor Of laying the Bland bill on the table
and 147 against it Speaker Crisp directed
his name to be called and voted in the
negative-thus saving the bill from de-
feat. Another illuminating feature of
the day was the vote of Congressman
Rockwell of New York. Rockwell is the
man whose seat the committee on cleo
tions declared belonged to a Republi-
can, resisting the personal solicitations
of Hill to decide otherwise. Coming
from New York he could not vote for
free silver without disappearing his
constituents Nevertheless his vote was
given for it. Doubtless he was in
fuenced to some extent by the
hope of ingratiating himself with
the majority of his party and thus keep
ing his seat, but that motive would never
have been sufficient to induce him to
30 vote if Hill, who owns him, had
wanted him to vote differently. The in
ference is inevitable therefore that his
vote represented Hills views on this
question.

1t is not to be wondered at that the
feeling of evaporation in this country
against Canadai is increasing, and that 1T
should show itself in propositions look
ing to severe measures of retaliation
against her. Two of Canada's great
railroads, indeed her only railroads of
any consequence, derive a great part of
their revenue from traffic originating in
this country, and from traffic too very
much of which is carried on between the
states of the American uuion. These
roads are permitted to do business in
this country on terms as favorable as
our own roads-indeed on terms more
favorable for the interstate commerce
law does not interfere with them to the
extent that it does with our own
roads-yet our American fishing vessels
are not allowed to transship their cargoes
at Halifax and send them by rail to this
country, they are not permitted to buy
bait or supplies in a Dominion port ex-
cept on payment of heavy license fee,
and within few years they have been
treated in those ports very much like
pirates, even the privilege of sending
ashore for medical assistance being in
some cases denied them. Then too, the
pending controversy in Behring Sea has
taken on its present disquieting aspect
entirely by reason of the opportunities
of Canada-importunities which have
their origin in jealousy and hatred of the
United States and desire to make us all
the trouble she can. Up to the present
time the United States has been exceed
ingly forbearing. The privileges O.
Canadian railroads in our territory have
been left untouched, and Canadian yes.
sells have been permitted to use our ports
for whatever lawful purpose they desire,
but without any effect to change Cana
da's treatment of our interests. That g
considerable portion of the public should
be fast coming to think that it is about
time to change this policy and pay Can
ada backin her own coin is not surpris
ing.

THE LOSS ADJUSTED.
The Insurance on the Congregational
Church Paid Saturday
Afternoon.

Saturday afternoon the loss on the
Congregational church, resulting
from the fire on Thanksgiving day,
was adjusted without difficulty.
There was an insurance Of 81 200 on
the ediface in the Phoenix Insurance
company of Hartford Conn.
George F. Kuntz, the special agent
located at Minneapolis, and 6. w.
Massey, the resident, agent met the
directors of the church Saturday
afternoon. The loss was adjusted
without difficulty, the company pay
ing of 81 900 in full.
This action speaks high for the
Phoenix company and has done it
many dollars worth Of good over the
amount paid. The Phoenix was the
first company to pay it's losses in
full after the great Chicago fire in
1872, and it has same record at the
Milwaukee fire of last fall.
The directors Of the church feel
tlattered that their loss was adjust
ed as speedily as larger ones and

ELECTRIC & WATER co.
What is Being Done to Improve the
Light Service In Little
SIX ~,
Two New Dynamoes Win Be Running
In Few DAYS And all Re.
quiremeDtS Met.

The continued increase in the mean
descent ligh ting business of the Little
Falls Electric & Water company has
occasionally caught the company
unprepared to supply all demands,
and it is unfortunately just now in
that position. The experience OF the
past will be profited by, however,
and additions to the plant are now
being made that will remove for a
long. time, any possibility of in
efficient service. Two new and
improved dynamoes, of 1000 16-candle
power each, have been purchased
from the Westinghouse Electrical
Manufacturing company Of Pitts
burgh, and are now on the way to
this place. New shafting is being
placed in the dynamo room for the
new machines, and the shafting will
now extend the entire length of the
room. With the new machines the
company can supply over 5000 lights,
which will meet the demand forsome
months to come.
One water wheel will not now
supply power enough for as many
lights as the company is called upon
to furnish, and clutch couplings and
shafting are now being made by the
Waterous Machinery company Of
St. Paul whereby both water wheels
can he connected together and
descent dynamoes at the time the
load is the heaviest. BY gearing, the
pump will be run from. the same
wheels at a speed of about eight
revolutions per minute, while the
shaft will have a speed that would,
if connected directly with the pump
as now, give it 10 revolutions per
minute. At anytime necessary Tin
cases offire) a clutch coupling will
connect the pump directly with the
main shaft, and it will then run at
full speed. When these changes are
made the electric and water service
will he better than ever, and all
lamps up to full candle power 1t is
expected these changes will be
completed by Dec. 20, and every
effort will be made to do so at an
earlier date.
A good many thousand dollars are
necessary to pay the expense OF the
improvements, and it is hoped that
sometime the investment will be
paying one-which it has not been
as yet.
Electricity is the popular light in
all arts of the civilized world, and
the growth of business has been one
OF the wonders OF the past decade.
Ten years ago not successful plant
was in operation, and not even an
incandesceut lamp burning in this
state. In other cities where much
higher prices are charged than in
Little Falls it has secured the business
of the people, and with the very low
rates here there will be but one result
in q combat for the business.
Another feature of the business is
the heating by electricity, and recent
inventions have made wonderful
results possible, and it is the most
convenientsystem ofsupplying small
quantities of heat yet devised. This
department OF the business will soon
receive the attention of-theeonipany,
and it is certain to become popular.
The entire absence Of danger and the
TACT that the heat is cheap. always
ready and has no smoke or o,Iur are
it's best qualities.
