Calling n Halt.


This country for nearly twelve
months has been passing through
the severest financial strain exper-
fenced for half century. Rail
roads have gone into the hands of
receivers, firms supposed to be strong
have failed, great manufactures have
been closed, tens of thousands Of
men have been idle, and great null
titudes have been supplied with food
fuel and clothing by the hand of
charity. One would naturally sup
pose that the outlays for entertain
ments, amusements, and in the gen
eral cost of living, had also been
lessened, and they have been in
numberless instances. Yet on the
whole the style of living as it APP
pears to the observer is about as
costly as ever. In business letter.
published not long ago in the Phila-
delphia Ledger, appears remarka-
BILE statement. The writer, in speak
ing Of the present conditions OF bus
mess and noting the present general
condition of things, says:
"The business situation presents
strange contrasts. On one day this
week 10000 persons witnessed
horse race, and hundreds of thous
ands of dollars were staked on the
result. The attendance at the base
ball games was never so great as it
is at this season. All popular
amusements are being enjoyed re-
CARELESS of expense. The exodus to
Europe this spring has been larger
than ever. There is every indication
that the season at the fashionable
resorts will be as brilliant as in years
of great prosperity. There seems to
be no diminution in the throngs in
the big retail stores, though the buy
ing power is less. There must be
wholesale reductions in personal ex-
penses, but on the surface there is
no evidence of this. Men and wom-
en- appear in the streets and at
church as finely dressed as ever, and
it has been remarked that never were
so many sealskin sacques worn as
last winter, and never so many new
hats as this spring. Yet this takes
place at time of depression UMPIRE
cedented in the history of the coun-
try"
This is not an outburst of a wick
ed Anarchist nor a wall of a dis
couraged preacher, nor plaintive
article in religious newspaper. But
it is the calm statement of business
man, setting forth one feature of the
times, which is not without effect on
the depression that has so long ex.
listed and borne so heavily on the en-
tire country and the continuance of
which is so much deprecated. More
over, the OUTLAWS for useless amuse-
ments and unnecessary entertain
ments are not confined to the well
TODD. The crowds returning from
base ball game or coming out of the
theaters are largely composed Of
those whose incomes are small and
uncertain. Is is not time to call
general halt to this mad rush in
luxury and amsement2-Banner.

The PRESTON Journal without
knowing the facts INDUCES in a
great deal of captious criticism Of
the board of regents of the Univer-
sity. At that distance of course the
Journal understands all the inside
workings of the institution. The
only just thing it says is its refer
ence to the treatment of Prof. Brooke.
The University is more prosperous
than ever and notwithstanding the
opposition of certain small fry re-
publican politicians bids fair to do
greater work next year than ever
before.

Out in Lincoln, Neb., there is a
firm of smart business men, who
advertised so literally last year that
they have been compelled to move
into larger and more commodious
store. Since their change trade has
increased so fast that they are now
confident that no more advertising
is needed. Next year some other
firm will have secured still bigger
trade and store by advertising, and
our friends of to-day will be forgot
ten. Then they will begin to adver-
tise again; and learn, when too late,
that it takes long time to get up
steam when the fire has been once
allowed to go out.

Those Republicans who are claim
ing so confidentially that the next
Congress will have Republican ma
jority have evidently never stopped
to figure on the proposition. The
facts in the case are about as follows
AT present there are twenty five states
that have been apportioned by the
Democrats and eleven by the Repub
licans. The remainder elect at large,
having only one or two members each,
and have not been apportioned. The
vote that elected Benjamin Harrison
president in 1888 gave the Republi-
cans majority of three in the House
but the same vote to-day, which was
then decided Republican victory,
would give the Democrats from ten
to twelve majority in the House.
This result is brought about by the
redistribution in large northern states,
among which are New York, Mich.
gan, Illinois and Wisconsin. The
Democrats have now 120 members
and the Republicans seven from the
solid south. The former need only
fifty nine more to make a majority,
and have twenty eight northern states
to elect them from, while the Repub-
licans must secure 172 members from
these same states to organize the
House, or in other words they must
elect 172 members out of 229 dis
tricts-or three Republicans to one
Democrat. The problem is, can the
Republicans elect seventy five per
cent. of the mem bers in the twenty
eight eastern and northern states
We think not.--E1.

The second Round

Sewerage received its death blow
at the ballot box last Saturday.
1t is buried, and will have no res
direction.
The NEW DOMINION favored an
other ballot, and advocated it; and
we are asked why, after the Council
again submitted the question, we
were SO passive and apparently indif-
ferent, allowing the result to go by
default, so to speak?
We answer, that the paralysis
which seized our pen was due to the
action of Council in submitting the
identical proposition that had caused
the defeat on the first ballot.
We never, for a moment conceived,
that the Town Council would set up
that same bug bear that the people
had knocked down once before.
But, notwithstanding the futility,
and the unreasonable perversity
manifested in presenting the con
demned proposition, we did not have
it in our heart to oppose it. We CON
cluded to say nothing and saw wood
well knowing that there could be
but one result.
We do not believe the people IN
reasonable in voting down the prop
osition in question. 1t is not the
best proposition that could be sub
mitted. A genuine business propo-
sition would include an accurate sur.
vey and map of the lines Of sewerage
correct estimate of the cost, to.
gether with bid by reliable con
tractor for doing the work Such a
proposition would have carried. II
the people bad been permitted tc
vote on specific sum that had been
absolutely fixed in a business way
upon definite system of sewerage
it would have carried.
One half the town will have sewer
age anyhow, and that half will BIZ
enough to forever prevent the Other
half from getting it.
