Sewerage or mo- Sewerage.

The proposition to put eleven
thousand dollars into sewerage with
out definite plan and estimates
which voters could examine for
themselves, was foredoomed to de
feat
There may be no lack Of confidence
in the town council, but the average
voter never would and never did vote
away money on an indefinite prop
osition. He wants to look at it, and
turn it over on this side and that,
and "feel Of it," before untieing the
purse strings.
Therefore we are glad that the
proposed ordinance to sell bonds has
been supplemented with publica-
tion of an engineers report, and a
very clear and forcible paper by
Mayor Fast explaining the purposes
and views of the council upon the
sewerage question,
With this exposition of the subject
there ought to be hearty support
of the measure There must be a
very hearty support of any measure
which requires a three-fifths vote to
carry it.
If the friends and advocates Of
sewerage do not come to the rescue
with all the aid and influence they
can bring to bear, the sewerage en-
terprise will be DELAYED indefinitely
There is large force of intelligent
voters VINO recognize the urgent need
of system of sewerage. They know
we can't do without it. The estab-
lishment of water works has made
sewerage necessity. Either that
or an annual recurrence of epidemics
from the excess Of slops that are now
absorbed by the soil, and which will,
if continued, soon be rocking with
disease.
On the other hand there is also a
large force of kickers, who don't see
the need of sewerage, and are other
wise constitutionally opposed to
anything which costs money or is
new.
The latter class may be depended
on to be at the polls, and if the
friends of sewerage are not there in
full force they can expect anything
else but defeat.

THE ASYLUM BOARD
Completes It's Work and Adjourns-Dr.

RAvENswooD, w Va, March L.
The Hospital Board completed its
labors and adjourned The investi
CATION of DR. r. f. Eagan was con
tinued all afternoon on yesterday and
until late hour last night, but was
brought unexpectedly to close
this morning by bis resignation II
seems that the board of directors
proposed to him on yesterday that
if he would Immediately tender his
resignation they would reinstate him
without trial which he declined, pre-
ferring to stand trial. But after the
examination of several witnesses
summoned by the board he concluded
that he would accept their PROPOSE
tion which was done by rendering
his resignation and bringing the mat
ter to u close. But the minute was
made to read that the investigation
was brought about for insubordina
ton
Owing to an expected increase in
the number of patients at the hospit-
al in a short time it became necessa-
ry for the Board to elect a stewart
and clerk. After carefully canvass
ing the State f. Z. Bill, of Spencer,
was selected, at \ salary OF $50 per
month. The Boayd adjourned and
all members departed for home.

Garfield Versus McKinIeyisrn

The Wilson bill as it passed the
House did not satisfy either free
traders or protectionists. 1t was in
many respects more highly protec
tive measure than the Morrill, bill
when Mr.. Lincoln signed it, and free
traders objected to it on that account.
The protectionist objection to it
was that it's duties were lower than
the Mckinley bill and that it reject
ed the principle of prohibitive taxa
ton. When James A. Garfield de-
clared in Congress that he favored a
protection which looked towards free
trade he meant that the theory of
prohibitive taxation should be repu.
dated in framing a tariff law, and
that all duties should be adjusted to
give no more protection than is Incl
dent to this means of raising revenue
The Wilson bill is objected to by
extreme protectionists because it
complies with Garfeld's theory OF
what protective tariff ought to be
While it ewes duties higher in some
cases than have been levied under
tariffs which die not look to free
trade" it refuses to admit that any
class of men have the right to use
the taxing power so as to isolate the
American people from the rest of the
world to the end that monopoly may
be the more easily maintained.
While the bill, as it went into the
hands of the Senate, did not satisfy
the more thorough-g going element OF
the Democratic party, they are dis
posed to acquiesce and are likely to
do so unless the extreme protection
lists succeed in mutilating the bill in
the Senate.-N. Y. World.

Desiring justice to whom it is due,

ment recently made regarding the
azalea plant which now so beauti-
fully adorns the window of Mr.. Mil

of the plant and has been for some
years, but she had never been able
to bring it into bloom and asked
Prof Rane to take charge of it. The
Professor took all the dirt away from
it and kept it for over year, result

Up Went Tariff and Down Came Wages
Philadelphia Times.

The puddlers Of the Sehuylklll
Valley cannot understand why they
should be compelled to suffer anoth-
er reduction, this lime to 1915 a ton.
The Lehigh Valley mills a year age
accepted SO 20 and are nearing the
same point In 1868 the price OF
pudding was SO ton. Now the
average is 81, and thot figure is ex-
ceptionsl with the mills at Harris
burg, Reading and Scranton. Since
1865 the tariff on iron has steadily
gone upward while the price OF pud
ding has just as steadily gone down

more than fifty per cent. reduction
in wages has been sustained under
the greatest protective tariff ever
known, the tariff duty on iron being
Sc 60 a ton. But the puddler is not
in on the compensatory balance, and
that is the distinction with differ
