Kimball I'm

Az previously noted in the GRAPHIC,
the water mains at Miller have COM
pletelv rusted out and to such an extent
that the water from the artesian we'll
cannot be turned into them without
flooding the town, and the town will i'll
all probability have to put In q new, lot
of mains throughout. 1t is known to all
familiar with the subject that artesian
water very soon rusts ont ordinary
wrought iron pipe. All of the pipes
leading from the mains In Kimball to
private property that we're put in at
first have rusted of at the main at some
time or other and some Of them entirely
worn out. OF late years the city has put
in nothing but galvanized pipe for the
connections. The new main down South
Main street is a 3-inch wood pipe, and
We think it will outwear any pipe made.
But what We were about to say is: that
many have felt concerned about the
KimbaIl water mains, expecting any day
that they would give out. E. P. Ochsner
says they will last indefinitely and
simply because they are cast iron instead
of wrought. Before they we're bought
Mr.. Ochsner made a trip to Chicago to
investigate the matter anG from the in
formation three obtained it was decided
to buy east iron pipes. The Miller mains
II undoubtedly of wrought iron, as they
are in most places having w%aterworks.
Last fall Chamberlain replaced the
main on Its business street with q larger
one Of wrought iron, and 1t will be
strange IL the city does not have trouble
with it in the course OF q few years, now
that artesian water is let into 1t instead
of the river water.

Fun ON the Grain market.

The appearance Of Muliin & Co.. grain
BUYERS, On this market has set things
humming and grain has been pouring
into town from all directions, much to
the satisfaction ofthe business men. AL!
the fall and winter thousands OF dollars
worth OF grain have been hauled to
White Lake that would in the ordinary
course Of things been marketed here
and our merchants have sat around and
sucked their thumbs and wished 1t diff
Ferent.
Mr.. Mullen came here from White
Lake a couple Of weeks ago and has
managed to boost the market 3to4
cents and picked up about 5000 bushels
Of wheat in that time.
The elevator men claim that he paid
more for wheat than it 10 worth and
cannot come out whole and that they
always paid all they could afford to and
make a living profit. The business men
say they don't care one way or the
other saw that they have since Mr.. Null
len came sold goods to parties who
would have sold their wheat at some other
town and done their trading there and
are naturally very anxious that he
should hnve every encouragement to re-
main.
The GRAPHIC says that there does not
seem to be much affinity between the
grain buyers and the business men and
it has nc desire but to present each ones
side of the case. 1t has no reason to
doubt that the grain buyers here have
paid all that grain was worth, taking
into consideration the interest or capital
invested. buildings. taxes, insurance al d
salaries. But at the same time they
themselves cannot deny the cold fact
that thousands OF dollars have been lost
to this market because of 4 better mar
kst ut Pukwanx some Of the time and
White Lake mrst Of the time. Buyers at
these places may b We paid more for
wheat than it was worth and doubtlessly
have, but that doesn't help the average
business man in Kimball any. On the
contrary it hurts him and hurts him
badly. and he cannot be blamed
for smiling with glee when . healthy
competition springs up here on the
grain market.

THE DECISION or TIE PEOPLE.

Public opinion is always claimed as an ally
by ardent advocates or both sides of public
controversy; sometimes diSingenuO,isly. for the
purpose of winning it. but more often honestly.
This is natural under government OF the
people, for ultimately they have their way.
But it frequently happens that there is no
conclusive demonstration of the popular will
either because it does not crystalline or because
circumstances prevent an expression OF It.
There are times, however. when the founda-
tions Of the deep are moved, and force which
is irresistible the moment it declares itself
passes into action. The judgment and purpose
of a great majority of the people OF the United
States were 50 expressed in the House OF
Representatives yesterday.
No other meaning can be found in the votes
by which succession of substitutes for I'M
conditional repeal of the silver purchase act
were defeated The most sangune opponents
of free coinage have not venturcd TO predict
such majortieS against it as were recorded yes
terday. Men whose opinions have descrvcdly
carried weight have not confidently expected
a majority of more than forty 10 fifty for the
repeal bill. it, passage by vote OF "4o to
40 is n revelation. Sometimes vote in Con-
gress or at the polls expresses whim not
conviction. and therefore is aftcrward reversed.
There is every reason to believe that the YER
dict rendered yesterday is an imevocabe de-
cision for sound finance. It certainly is not a
final settlement of the monetary problem. but
it may be gratefully accepted as an authentic
declaration that the American people see the
way of honor and safety and can never again
he tempted TO leave IT, 1t is an immense salts
faction to witness sue, proof that the greet
Republic is sound in head and at heart.

4 GREAT SPEECH.

OF the closing speeches in the House on sat
urday that of Mr. Reed was deGdedly thc
ablest and the most elevated in character.
Others commanded great applause by charms
Of voice and delivery others appealed with
great force TO Democratic platforms and IN
tcrcSts bun the speech of Mr.. Reed. wherever it
is read will illustrate anew the lofty courage OF
conviction. the splendid patriotism and tho bread
craftsmanship which make the last Congress
memorable in history. Many Democrats who
heard him doubtless realized for the first time
the tremendous power Of the Republican po-
stion and Of the champions who defend 1t.
Though as far as possible from partisan
speech. it set forth magniiiccntly the principles
by which the Republicans have been governed
and which govern them now in voting to repeal
a measure that Democrats and silver Senators
made it a necessity to adopt three years ago.
II was we'll that a leader of the highest rank
and of rare popularity should utter the plain
truth about the present silver law and the
reasons for ia repeal II was passed because
there was no other way to stop the coinage
under the Bland biz. and to secure thc provision
that the whole power Of the Government should
be cyclted 10 maintain the parity OF gold and
silver in Use. II was passed because it was
tho only way 10 prevent the passage, by
combination of Democrats and silver men. OF
n free coinage bill which would have produced
immediate disaster in business. No one can
say how great number Of voters have been
convinced by three years Of experience under
the present law that their beliefs about silver
coinage were erroneous Mr. Wilson. the Demo
cratic leader in the House. himself bore
testimony t. the great change in opinion which
this experience had produced. This demon
straton has made It possible now Ia stop both
the coinage and the purchase OF silver, 50 that
other nations may have to face their share OF
responsibility
II was especially fortunate that leader 50
widely honorcd aS Mr. Reed should make the
fact clear that the present silver law has not
been the main cause of business troubles. and
that its repeal will not he n sufficient remedy
With the courage to state the truth
exactly aS it i. the Republican leader
showed that part of the existing
trouble had been caused by the failure Of
the act itself 10 accomplish what the silver
men expected from It. and part by the partl-
san anxiety OF Democrats t. make this measure
the Scapcgoat for disasters which their own sue
cess was likely h. cause. some part of the
trouble can therefore be rcmcdicd by getting
the act ont of the way and that is reason
enough for tho votes of Republicans. When
il is ont of the way. the party in power will
have 10 face and deal with other causes Of
disaster
