The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

The question of vvaterworks and
electric lights are now occupying the
attention of the eople of our city and
committee appointed sometime ago
consisting Of W. J. Mosby C: L. Gross,
and John Woh1er from the citizens
and Messrs. Leitch, Mas, and Levy
from the city council having investi-
gated the subject for some time made a
report to the Mayor and Aldermen on
last Wednesday night recommending
their construction and also expressing
the opinion from all the information
they could obtain that it was best for
the city to own and operate it's own
forancises. The committee was con-
tinued and will proceed to have COM
petent civil engineer form estimates e
specifications when they will again re-
port to the town council and the cues
ion of franchise be settled. The
TINES sometime ago published an
lrticle on this subject in which it took
he ground that all cities and towns
hould own and operate their own

With this issue, Sol. Magruder tells
his fellow citizens he would like to Of
ficiate in the sheriff's office for four
years after the 1st of January next.
The name of Magruder is synonymous
with integrity and this all important
element together with the fact that
Sol is not only prince of good fellows
but thoroughly competent for the po-
sition should give him strong hold
upon the people. He is the only man
north of Canton in the field, and geo
graphically should be strong. This
however is the least of his recommen
dations. He wants the position on his
merits and on this he will prove a
formable candidate, and if the ballots
declare him the chosen man he will fill
The Office on this same line effectually,
honestly and satisfactorily to the people.

rolls, while for death and other
causes 1882 were dropped. 1t adds
to the bitterness OF the story to
say that only 40,l4S of the large
number of applications remaining
Enacted upon were filed during the
wear. And at this very minute a
large portion of the clerical force
of the pension bureau, which
should be at work on the Enacted
upon applications, are putting in
their time on work that has no
proper connection with pensions
trying to elect Democratic con-
gressmen. Every old soldier who
votes the Democratic ticket en-
dorses the pens ion and other pol
icies of the administration.
Oh yes, this administration dis
penses reform in great big chunks
all the time. 1t was Democratic
reform that carried five members
of the cabinet to Batavia, New
York, incidentally to hear another
member of the misunderstanding
Carlisle-deliver an address on
Robert Morris, but principally to
try to help along the lettering
Democratic campaign in that state
and it is also Democratic reform
that caused the cabinet party,
which included a number Of Ia
dies, to allow themselves to be
hauled from Washington to Bata-
via and back again in the private
cars of two railroad magnates, fur
nished gratis by the railroads and
even provided with refreshments,
liquid and otherwise, at the ex-
pense of the ever big hearted rail-
roads-big hearted in their deal
ing with officials who can be used
by them.
A great many people are asking
whether an official opinion rem
dered by Solicitor Reeve, of the
treasury department, will result in
a flood of paper money, similar to
the "red dog" and "wild cat" cur
rency of state bank days. The
opinion is that any county, the
constitution of the state in which
it is located permitting, has the
legal right to issue interest bearing
bonds in any denominations it
may see fit, and that such bonds
are not liable to federal taxation.
1t is believed that under this opin-
ion, unless it is upset by the
courts, a county could issue bonds
as low as ST each and make the in
terest so low that they could be
used as currency, thus practically
issuing it's own money, which
would be a little more than even
the widest Populist in Congress
has ever advocated, to say nothing
Of it's knocking-out the law which
imposes tax of 10 per cent on all
currency other than that issued by
the government, law which Con-
gress at its last session very posi-
lively declined to repeal. r.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. 1894.
Secretary Carlisle ought to feel
ashamed of having lent himself to
the trumped up charge against Mr..
Morton, the Republican candidate
for governor of New York, Of hav-
ing violated the alien contract
labor law, knowing when he did so
that it was done for no other pur-
pose than to attempt to array the
labor organizations Of New York
against Mr.. Morton, and that no
attempt was really to be made to
convict Mr.. Morton of the absurd
charge, the idea being merely to
keep the matter open until the cleo
ton.
The facts in the case, which
were promptly stated by Mr.. Nor
ton as soon as his attention was
called to the matter, are plain
enough for even the most bigoted
Democrats to see. The man in
question is an Englishman who
was employed by Mr.. Morton as a
domestic servants class express
~ excepted by the alien contract
law, and a class in which white
male Americans are seldom found,
while he was in London, and who
returned with him in that capa-
city when he came home. Had
Mr.. Morton not been the candidate
for governor of New York the case
never would have been heard Of.
AS it is, the bringing of such a
charge is an acknowledgment by
the Democrats of their desperate
condition in New York, and it is
not likely to influence the vote OF
any intelligent man against Mr..
Morton. On the contrary, it is
more likely to make him votes
among men who are too honorable
to countenanCe such dishonorable
methods on the part of the Demo
cratic, or any other party.
From North, from West, from
East, aye, and from the congression'
al campaign committee, the people
are thoroughly alive to the neces
sity of putting an effectual stop tt
Democratic legislation before il
has brought the country to even {
worse condition than it now finds
itself in, and they know that the
first step needed is to put the Re
publican party in control Of thu
House, and unless all Indication
are at fault they are going to do i
next month.
The figures contained in the an
nual report of the commissioner o
pensions for the year ending jun
30, '94, tell story of the manner II
which the old soldiers have beef
treated by the Democratic official
that ought to make every Demo
GRAFT blush with shame. The com
missioner turned into the treasur,
the enormous amount of 1925, Dos

sions for Congress, while there re

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
The base Of the brain, and that when these are
1eranCed the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When IL Is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the boiy below
the Injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyZed portion, il will be understood now
the derangement of the nerve centers Will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thirds of chronic diseases are que 10
the imperfect action of the nerve ccn'erS at
the base Of the brain, not from u derahSe-
ment primarily originating in the organ u
self. The great mistake or physicians IN
treating these diseases is that they treat tIC
organ rather than the nerve centtFS WHICH
are the cause of the trouble.
Or, FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
Cialist, has profoundly studied this subject Iuf
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with Il, chief among
them being the facts contained III the a Owe
statement, and that the ordinary memo |. o.
treatment are wrong. All heauache, ulhZ'-
ness, dizziness confusion, pressure, Due
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy ~

Of Kings County. his morning began
an inquiry into the granting of n con-
tract by the Board of Supervisors to
Thomas Neary for repairs In the Shcr-

Mr.. Fitchie found that Neary bid
sS25 and Taylor & Sons bid $449 for the
same work. There were two other
bids, one for 1926 n another for 81 200.
Martin Taylor, a member o fthe firm

bid he had figured on a profit of $50.
