A PLUM sING INSPECTOR.

Agitation Looking Toward the Creation
of Such an Office.
The question of having the office OF
plumbing inspector created by the city
councils is being agitated by some OF
plumbers of the city.
Such an official. they say, would
insure plumbing work being done in
the mot approved sanitary manner and
be beneficial to health.
Owing to the parsimony of those who
erect buildings and the carelessness Of
contractors. 1T is claimed that thS
plumbing in many dwellings and bust
ness and Office buildings of the city is
far from perfect.

Happenings Of a Day That Will Interest
Many Tribune Readers
Want The APPROPRIATION DIVIDED
Members of the William Connel
and Century Companies Claim that
the Neptune's Appropriation Should
Be Divided Among the Three Com
panies Dan Battle TO Act as Grand
Marshal at Wikes-Barre March H..

The article in a recent issue of the
Truth from the secretary of the Will
liam Connell Hose company, touching
up the estimates committee OF the
councils and also bestowinga few ne
bulous compliments on Councilman
Robinson of the Eleventh ward. has
intlaned the thiuking caps of the
members of theOen tury Hose company.
An appropriation of So 500 was granted
to the Neptunes for the purchase
of new steamer, to the ex-
cluslon of the two other com
panies on this side One Of the most
skillful steam filters in the city, has
declared that the steamer now in use
by the Neptune's can be repaired as
good as new at an outlay OF $500. At
that rate the balance Of the appropria-
tion, SO 900. the firemen argue could
be- fairly divided among the three com
pNnies toward procuring steady men
and some necessary equipments. A
prominent member of the Centurys
gave the following facts to the reporter
yesterday: Caspar Hartman has
team which is employed during the
day at ordinary work AT night the
team is stabbed in the Centurys build
ing. The driver, who sleeps in the
building, gets 50 per month by way of
perquisite, making $50 per year. Dur
ing the year 1898 nineteen fires broke
out in the district. For attendance
at each of these fires, Mr.. Hart
man received 81 80, altogether $47 80
He lost, it will be seen, $3.50. Almost
a similar case is that Of the VIM. Con-
nell's. If this lavish generosity in
lealing with the Neptune's can be re-
solved to satisfactory conclusion,
based on stable aud Legitimate prem.

1NoRnAsn IN POPULATION.

The United States treasury de-
partment publishes monthly an es-
innate Of the population for the
first day Of the .aonth. This esti.
mate is based on the known in
crease Of longer periods as shown
by the census. According to this
authority, the population March
/, 1898, was 66, ,46S, 900, and on
March 1, 1894, it was e. 10000,
an increase for the year amounting
to 1 ,442, 900 people to be employed,
fed, clothed and educated in addi-
ton to those of one year ago.
Ninety-five of each 100 Of these go
to town to live and work and there
is not now apparent any cause
likely to reduce this proportion in
the future. This means that L.
369, 300 people were added to the
populations of towns and cities
during the last twelve months, and
that only 70, 100 were added to the
rural populations, and that this
disparity will be kept up with In
oreasing volume as the years come
and go.
The seriousness of the political
problem suggested by these figures
after the suggestive experiences of
the great depression should chal-
lenge the careful consideration of
every statesman, philanthropist,
teacher and preacher-of every cit
izen, whatever his position or pre-
conceived notion of his interest in
political questions. 1t goes to the
determination of the question of
the possibility of continued exist
ence OF our present civilization on
the one hand, of radical change
and improvement in our economic
system or of destruction of the
magnificent fabric of present en-
lightened society in a gulf of vio-
lence and blood, as have perlshed
the civilizations of the past. The
question, new in this country, has
long confronted thinkers of the
old world, and yet the outlet to
new opportunities, which in this
country seemed boundless, has
been used as a safety-valve for
Europe-as a means of relieving
the pressure of too great popula-
tions. This outlet is practically
closed. Population must become
dense; cities and towns must be-
come rapidly larger; dependence
upon wsge-earnings must, under
present systems become more
nearly universal, aud there is ap-
parent no escape from a more and
more bitterly fought contest be-
tween employer and employed as
to the share of each in the pro-
ceeds of industry, with the advan-
tege increasingly on the side of
the employer the world over.
The only bright part of all the
picture of the near future is that
of the farmer, who owns and oulti-
Yates his land. He will have
more customers for his products,
and, other things remaining un-
changed, should have better prices
for what he has to sell.

AN ADDRESS
To the White Adopted Citizeps
of the Cherokee Nation.

At meeting of the executive
committee of the White Adopted
Citizenship association of the
Cherokee nation on Saturday
March 18th, 1894, an agreement
was made and entered into with
Col. II. w. McCorry, Of Tennes-
see, to prosecute TO a finish tn g
claims said adopted citizens have
TO any and all moneys due them as
citizens of said Cherokee nation
arising from the rental or sale OF
the lands, the common property
of the citizens thereof. In max
ing this agreement 1t became nec-
essary for the members of said
committee 10 make themselves
personally liable for a goodly sum
of money in the First National
Bank of Vinita. We therefore, as
secretary and treasurer of said
association, feel il our duty TO ap
peal to every member OF our asso-
citation to do everything they may
feel able to do to help meet those
obligations patriotically taken up
on themselves tor our benefit. We
hope that every town and neigh
borhood will take an interest in
this matter and raise some money
and send II in TO the treasurer, TO
gether with the name of the con.
tributor. Each individual SO
sending will receive receipt
showing that he has paid that
amount as an advance payment
on his ten per cent. which be is
expected to pay when he receives
his money due him by the nation.
OF our. attorney, personally we
know but little. He comes highly
recommended by some of the most
honorable and highest officials OF
the United States.
We feel you run no risk in this
matter. Our rights are based up
on the constitution Of the Chero-
kee nation; we have no doubt Of
our ultimate success.

A report has been published in
the daily press that the Dawes
commission has been informed by
the Choctaws that they are ready
to treat with the commission for
allotment The Phoenix enquired
of the commission If such is a fact,
and was informed that there is no
agreement between the Choctaws
and the commission and that there
is no official change IN the situa-
tion. However, the sentiment for
allotment is increasing in the
Choctaw country and the outlook
is satisfactory and hopeful to the
commission in the Choctaw nation.

In this issue will be found an
other proposition from the Dawes
commission to the Choctaws. The
marked change in the sentiment of
the masses, recently, upon this
question will no doubt lead Gov.
Jones to re-submit it to the people.
If the wishes of the Herald could
obtain the present condition would
remain unchanged. This however
is not debatsble. The United
States has determined that a
change must come speedily. The
Herald wants to see the Choctaws
reap every benefit that a friendly
commission can confer. This can
be done in one way only. This
commission is pointing it out. The
leading men throughout the coun-
try are satisfied that congress will
not wait longer than this session,
before taking radical steps in di-
rection of statehood. .-Choctaw
Herald.

THE anti-allotment people have
thus far failed to offer an argument
showing why the Cherokees should
not allot their land. But anti.
allotment people generally belong
to the class OF citizens that are get.
ting more than their share of the
public property. There is to be a
shaking-up of the "dry bones" one
of these days and then every one
will get his or her share.

cares to have his rights in this ma
ton defined and his status settled

his or her dollar and getting his or
