WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The rule Of
the house provides that the speaker
shall lay before the house messages and
bills coming over from the senate ON
the previous day. If the silver repeal
bill had reached the house Monday
evening before adjournment, it would
have been in order the first thing when
the house met Tuesday morning. Some
of the members and senator's who
understood the rule on this subject
were very anxious to have the
bill passed in time to reach
the house Monday night, but this
was known by but very few, as most of
the members were under the same i'm
preston as Mr.. Bland, that the bill was
privileged at any moment it reached
the house. Large crowds had COL
lected about the house, in anticipation
Of the bill coming up and interest was
everywhere manifested in the repeal
bill. It was great disappoin tment to
these who had come to the Capitol, in
anticipation of field day in the house.
There were many members
who came early, believing
that the bill would certainly
be brought up. There may be some
effort to have the bill referred to
committee, but until it is laid before
the house it is wholly in the control of
the speaker. 1t is expected that some
thing will be said about the bill in the

up for discussion, but any member can
cut off considerable discussion by
simply calling for the regular order.
After the reading of the journal Mr..
Cummings secured unanimous consent
for consideration of the senate joint
resolution transferring the model bat
tleship "Illinois," at the worlds fair,
to the City of Chicago. Without oppo-
sition. it was agreed to.
At 1850, while Mr.. Oates was speak
ing. Mr.. Cox of North Carolina, the
secretary of the senate, came into the
house bearing the silver repeal bill,
but its reception caused scarcely ripple.
Quietly the house went back to routine
business.
Bland Objected.
At 1:8O. when the morning hour ex-
pired. Mr.. Livingston of Georgia
created some excitement by an attempt
to secure unanimous consent to pro-
coed with the consideration of the re-
peal bill. His proposition was that the
house agree to consider the bill for the
remainder of the afternoon,
and on the following day until O clock,
whom the previous question be con-
sidered as ordered on the bill, and pend
ing amendments. 49,.
Mr.. Bland made vehement protest,
and said thu bill should take its course
like any other bill, and come up regu-
larly under the rules. Many members
want to be heard and for one, object"
And SO the first attempt to reach an
agreement in the house failed.

my Dutch Uncle"

The above drama-melo- drama tragedy
tragic. comedy opera burletta- pageant was
greeted by fair sized house last Friday
evening. 1t was advertised "without a
plot" hence there we're none who worried
away any surplus flesh in searching for one.
Consisting entirely of Defiance talent of
course we could not expect the whole troup
to be stars professional, pure and simple;
and, the play itself being complied by a
young man of that town who does not lay
claim to Shakespeare's mantle, it was not
the peoples intention to look upon it other
than the work of an amateur. With these
three points in mind, then, we are prepared
to say that "My Dutch Uncle" gave salts
faction. 1t reflected no little credit on the
bright young writer, Mr.. Ed. Bronson, and
the troLp of handsome young ladies and
gentlemen who assisted the author in pro.
ducing it.
The troup supported it's own orchestra
which was under the leadership of John
Smith, an old Henry county boy, and skilled
musician.
After the play the troup held reception
at Gardner's Gallery and left for Defiance
on the early morning train.

When and Where To Go.

When you are in need of anything or de-
sire to buy anything, it is always best that
you should go where it is kept for sale; and
the very best place for you to go, is where
you can buy the best article for the least
money. At this season of the year Saur u
Balsley always have special clearing sales at
their Drug and Book House, in order to
clean up the remnants of the best fall and
winter trade and make room for the nice
spring stock which they are about to receive,
and it is at these sales that you frequently
find things which you really want and need
and which you can buy for half price and
sometimes less. Their immense stock of
wall and window paper and cloth shades has
begun to arrive, and the outlook is that it
will be larger and more beautiful than ever
before and what is still better, the prices are
so low that everybody can afford to buy it
and have all their rooms papered. When you
are in town, don't fail to go and look at
these papers and see for yourself just how
very cheap they are.

ENTERPRISE,
Why Not Give Napoleon Telephone
Exchange?

Treasurer Higgins in response to query
informs US that in case the council gives
hin. the right it is his intention TO put in
local telephone exchange at the expiration
of the Bell Telephone patent which takes
place on the 7th of March. The patent has
run for II years and it is estimated that after
the 7th proximo. telephone goods will drop
800 per cent, thus making it within the reach
of nearly every one in Napoleon to sport his
own telephone.
Mr.. Higgins thinks that it is matter of
but short time when Hogate and Napoleon
will be connected with telephone, and that
with but very little expense, as such rapid
strides in perfecting the phone have been
made that distance of fifty miles can be
surmounted without the use of a battery.
The ordinance as submitted to the council
does not give Mr.. Higgins the exclusive
right, so that opposition is possible at any
time.

TIME TO ACT!
Coils Tightening Around the
WaterEOTkS Question
THE PEOPLE WAITING.
PrOtraCted and Difficult Labor Of the
Council Nearing its Close.
GIsT OF THE ORDINANCES Now
PENDING.

Three times has the village council of
Napoleon appealed to the electors for advice
pertaining TO the creation of waterworks
and electric light plant to be owned and
operated by the city.
As many times did an answer come back
in the affirmative through that medium of
popular power. the ballot box-twice by a
two thirds majority and third time within
eleven votes of that one sided result.
Is this not significant of the popularity of
the measure?
Are not these three answering answers
indicative of what the people have made up
their minds to be right?
Has it not been the precedent from the
time of legislation in its most primitive
state down to the present to abide by the
decision of the majority?
The answers to these questions can be but
one then, the proposition presents itself:
The peoples request or demand has not as
yet been granted.
| Neither do we think this disregard to be
intentional on part of our councilmen, all
of whom are good men, property own
ers, careful in their own ard in the city IS
affairs; but, since the question has been
agitated, there have been many phases pre-
sented TO which the councilmen we're
strangers and an understanding of which
must be secured before they could proceed
understandingly.
By careful study these questions have all
been mastered though the progress was
necessarily retarded, purely owing to the
magni ude of the subjects involved.
1t has been demonstrated to the satisfac.
tion OF the council that plant to meet the
requirements of our town can be erected fol
100000, and legislation taken authorizing
the expenditure of that amount.
1t has been demonstrated by actual tes
that the nature of our country is such that F;
sufficient supply of water for the town.
needs cannot be secured from wells, while
on the other hand,
1t has been demonstrated through
rigid analysis by well know
chemist that water taken from the Maume
above sewers, watercourses and mill-race
is fitted, practically speaking, for domesti
use, which water we have in abundan
quantity and easily of access.
The positive expression of the people il
favor of the project. and the demonstratio
of the three propositions above set forth
then, are four vital points touched o
and settled. They are the only four points
it seems, that The council should see in dis
posing of this troublesome question. The
are the evidence in the case which shoul
dictate the character of the verdict to
returned.
What will the verdict be?
The testimony is conclusive in favor O
furthering the project.
From the present outlook the best inter
ests of the town ask it.
The people demandit.
Spring is here-the time to put in tn
plant. if it is ever done, and action eithe
pro or con is necessary.
Pass the ordinance, gentlemen of th
council; then pass another for the electio
of waterworks trustees, and wash you
hands of the matter.
The people will attend to the rest.
