Wilson on Water Works.

| EpIToR TRIBNNE:-It appears thai
the editor of the Sun is not particu
larly opposed to water works, but
| wants the village to own the plant anc
do the work, but thus far he has failed
to give any reason why the village
should put in the plant and do the
work. Now, Mr.. Editor, it seems to
me that the Sun man ought to be able
to give reason for the faith that is in
| him. I myself, as taxpayer, favored
and voted for the water works fran
chise ordinance aa a matter of econo-
my to the taxpayers. For instance,
under the water works franchise ordi-
nance the village contracts for and
agrees to take Is hydrants at cost
which will in all probability not ex-
ceed $S4 per hydrant a year, in all
Sl26O, which amount is all the tax
payers will be called upon to pay un-
der the franchise ordinance. fOn the
other hand we will suppose the vii
lage were to put IN the plant by bond
ing, say for $4,000, ESTIMATED cost of
plant, at per cent. interest per an
mum, equal to $2l0O, which said
amount the taxpayers would have to
pay annually in interest Oh this bond
ed Indebtedness, making a difference
of $40 yearly in favor of the tax
payers under the franchise plan; and,
as have previously intimated, ordi-
narily you can rent a good deal cheap
er than you can own. For instance,
you can go down to the booming
cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis and
rent plenty houses at a rental less than
2 per cent. of the cost of building. A
farmer has his farm smortgaged for
SIS 1000, on which he pays a semi -annu-
al interest of 10 per cent. per annum,
equal to $3.50, besides taxes, $3.50
more; total, 500. In case of the ina
bility of the mortgage to pay the
debt and the mortgagor (the capital
ist) should become the owner of the
farm he would be mighty lucky if he
could rent the farm for one-half the
amount. presume there are plenty
of foreclosed farms in this county to
rent by simply paying the taxes on
the land. Had the capitalist who
furnished the money to build our
commodious court house been rash,
enough to have built it and held the
title to it himself, I have not the least
doubt but what Stevens county could
have rented from him the same for a
good deal less money than the county
pays him now in interest on the capi-
tai furnished, besides having to pay
and keep up the repairs of same.
Now then, in conclusion let me say,
should any company or capitalists be
rash enough to invest $4,000 or $40,-
600 in a water works plant in Morris
1 have not the least hesitancy in say
ing that it will cost the taxpayers less
and it's inhabitants will be supplied
with water cheaper than if the city
undertook the job.

Reuuest for Egan,s Recall d.. .ts

Request Tor EGen,s Kecals ..'f
The request for the recall of Mr.. Egan
upon the ground that he was not persona
grata was unaccognpanied by any sugges-
port of it and infer that the request Is
based upon eficial acts of Mr. Egan which
have received the approval of this govern
ment. But however that may be, I could
not consent to consider such question
until it had first bean settled whether our
correspondence with Chilli could be con-
Quoted upon basis of mutual respect.
In submitting these papers to congress
for that grave and patriotic consideration
which the questions involved demand I
desire to say that l am of the opinion that
the demands made on Chih by this gov
ernment should be adhered to and on
forced. Ifthe dignity as well as the pres
tige and influence of the United States are
not to be wholly sacrificed we must pro-
tect those who in foreign ports display tho
flag and wear the colors of this govern
ment against insult, brutality and death,
inflicted In resentment of the acts of this
government and not for any fault of their
own. ..rs E.s.a . +' '--'' .s.t
Upon information received that Patrick
Shields, an Irishman, and probably Brit
ish subject, but at the time fireman of
the American steamer Keweena in the
harbor of Valparaiso for repairs, had been
subjected to personal injuries in that city,
largely by the police, directed the attor-
ney general to cause the evidence of the
officers and crew of that vessel to be taken
upon its arrival in San Francisco. The
distressing condition of the man himself
when he was finally able to reach his YES
sells supports his testimony. The captain
of the vessel says: He came back
wreck; black from his neck to his hips,
beaten, weak and stupid, and is still in
paralyzed condition, and he has never been
able to do duty since"
A Claim tor Reparation
has been made in behalf of this man, for
while he was not citizen of the United
States the doctrines so long held and ex-
pressed in the consular regulations is that
the circumstance that the vessel is Ameri
can Is evidence that the seamen on board
are such, and in every regularly docu
mented merchant vessel the crew will find
their protection in the flag that covers
them.
have as yet received no reply to our
note of the 21st inst, but in my opinion
ought not to delay longer to bring these
matters to the attention of congress for
such action as may be deemed appropriate.

says:
The presidents message to congress
does not change the situation. It makes
the situation clear. Clothed in calm,
grave language and breathing the spirit
of dignifed and responsible patriotism,
it carrier to congress and to the country
all that is necessary for a full under
standing of the position which this
government occupies, and of the atti-
tude which Chill holds coward this gov
er nment, Is the result Of series of un-
fl trtunate events which have brought
t; ne two nations to the very verge of
war. General Harrison's message and
tShe accompanying documents leave no
further room for doubt. The docu-
9ments chronicle and the message inter
,cepts, progressive and aggressive de-
5fiance of right and justice, starting from
an original outrage in itself into trouble,
which justifes the ultimatum that was
;sent to Santiago from Mr.. Blaine last
Thursday. IL ..zrr:@. 2.,1 - -

different shape through arbitration Chill
lis left in a position to apologize or suffer

should be no war until arbitration has
utterly failed.

he. If ike him rll live with him, says
she. An old friend OF mine celebrated his
golden wedding recently, and he and his
wife seemed such happy couple that
asked him the secret of his happiness. He
thought for moment and then said:
IA good understanding TO start With,
that's all. The morning after we were
married | woke and looked at my wife.
She was awake, and as we looked round
the room there were two chairs with two
piles of clothes on them. l said: wife,
get up and take your choice. But say wife,
whichever you take now you've got to

SEEN AND HEARD.

Three weeks ago sport lovers went out
and thought to themselves they would
make it pay. Now as the valley was full
of hunters as well as Of ducks the thought
came to all alike The consequences was
that waterfowl poured into market from
every quarter, north, south, east and west
until there was veritabIe
deluge. Immediately down went the price
of ducks. From 50c and 75c. pair they
fell to $50. per dozen and finally to 4Oc per
dozen, good ducks, TOO, not spoiled. Such.
however, is the result Of supply and de-
mand.
Two men stood in heated conversation
just laying it off to each other, when one
brought down his fist with full force into
the palm of his outstretched hand saying,

few nights ago two gentlemen accom-
panied by three ladies, young girl and
three boys entered a street car. Evidently
they had been pleasuring. The elder gen.
tleman. undoubtedly an old citizen, leaned
toward the other, poked him In the ribs and
said with great satisfaction in his face,

many ladies who had gathered there said,
'How tiresome this is; how l do wish the
street railroad managers would put seats
here that one might rest,n and as she stosd
first on one leg then on another, chicken
fashion, she constantly reiterated the COM

she added. ABROAD they have seats every
where and it is so nice" Her companion
suggested that some one might steal them,
but the travelled lady said, "Oh, but chain
them to those big trees"
After seeing the fine fruit display at the
fair, who can doubt that this is a great
fruit growing country! There were TWEEN
ty-four varieties OF peaches, white, red
and yellow, free and cling, some weighing
eleven ounces. Then fifteen kinds of plums,
the red magnanum measuring six inches
round. Grapes in twenty-seven varieties,
pears Of fifteen varieties, apricots, apples
and fourteen small fruits are enough to
convince the greatest doubter. Yet the
grower himself seemed discouraged that
there were not more who succeeded,
frankly acknowledging that the growers
did not properly take care of their crop,
and there was not much use in one fellow
trying" for when the enemy destroyed q
neighbours orchards they were bound to
come to his. Yet there is nothing like
courage and perseverance, which are sure
to win.
