once, 1t would quick ly spread, like
measles in a country school, and when
1t does it will solve the great problem
for all time. When sifted down it
would be found that the credit system
is the progenitor of and responsible
for more evils that effect the financial
and business world than all other
agencies combined. Not only this,
but 1t fosters extravagance-the pur-
chase of goods which can be very we'll

The Industrial World mikes the
following sensible remark upon the
credit system, and claims that mer-
chants generally are responsible for it:
Why do merchants encourage the
credit system You answer that YOU
don't. Yes, but you do. If the sys-
tenn was not encouraged by the mer-
chants it would not be in existence
to'day. Did you ever stop to think
that the mercantile community of the
country are the only body of men who
tolerate the credit system Let's see
you buy postage stamps, postal no tes,
money orders, etc, on credit try it,
and see what you'll be told. Go to
the theatre and you pay money. Ex-
press companies demand cash, and
railroad tickets are cash on delivery
to the purchaser. Why should not
the merchant demand and receive
cashf Simply because he encourages
the credit system. 1t may be an i'm
possibility to completely eradicate the
system, but strict limitations on credit
is a step in the right road, and the
evolution will be practically a cash
basis system Of doing business. 1t is
worth trial and should be begun at

CEMENT PIPES BURST.

Not Prspared For the Tremendous
 Pressure of Water From the "Branoh."
 Theincreased pressure on the cement pipes accustomed by the introduction of the water from the "Braneh" has already caused some trouble. At o'clock yes terday people living in the vicinity of the residence of James Kelly, 564 Baldwin street, thought the place had been visit tsd by an earthquake. The sidewalk for some distance was raised several inches and water shot into the air as though forced from the nozzle of hose pipe. It rattled down through the lots until it reached Hickory street, where it effected an en- trance through the cellar wall of Patrick Shea's house and deluged the different apartments Mir Shea thinks his cellar wall will cave in when spring comes and if it should he will ask the water board to make good the damage. Last night bon fire was lighted over the broken main and a crowd of boys held high carnival around the scene until late in the night. The residents of this section had read about the mixed drinks ordered by the mayor, but they were deprived of the privilege last night. the water being shut off and anyone who wanted a drink had to take it straight.
 There were also several breaks Tn other parts of the city. A four inch cement pipe gave out on Bishop street. another of the same dimensions went to pieces on State street. President Welton is a busy man to-day and he is likely to be kept hustling for some tune, for those cement pipes, many of which were apt to give out without any increased pressure, will all have to be replaced with iron ones as soon as possible. Mir Melton did not expect this. for he was of the opinion that the cement pipes were sufficiently strong to stand the extrI pressure. But it must now be plain to all that the water from the new reservoir brought more force with it than anyone supposed it would. Some people were afraid that there would not be enough water up there ito pay for the expense of the pipe, but from what has been seen it would appear that there is too much of it and if it is not shut off until the fine weather there is no telling the amount of damage that may occur to the cement pipes in the center.
 The water will be turned on at the State street break tonight. but the broken mains on Bishop and Baldwin streets have not yet been located. From noon yesterday until: noon to-day the water at the Cooke street reservoir raised fifteen and q. half inches. The 12 inch gate was opened and as much water as possible was turned in there.
 A big break occurred in four inch main in Randolph & Gloves yard to-day.

Expert Engineers to Appear Before the
 Fire Board Tonight.
 This is busy day among the members of the fire board and the meeting tonight will be of more than ordinary interest. The condition of the boiler of No Is steamer will be discussed, and from ali that can be learned there will be some difference of opinion between the repre- sentative of the American Fire Engine company and State Inspector LaFOrge as to whether the boiler Is fit for further use. Horace Silsby, the gentleman from whom the engine and boiler were bought. is here and will np- pear before the meeting Asa La France of Elmira. N. Y. will also appear in the interest of hIs company. It Is expected that some opinions will be thrown out which will tend to show whether Inspsc- tor La Forge or BoIlermaker Duffy is the better judge on these matters It is said that Mir Silshy, Is of the opinion that the boiler is not worn out.

This was but the brief prelude to day spent with appropriation bills
 Tie pension bill appropriating Sl4I, 900, 900 was passed, with two amendments ono making S6 the lowest rate for pension disability and another repeating the pres ent law cutting of the pensions of non. residents.
 It was stated during the debate that the st amendment would increase pension ex. penditureS not exceeding $. .0OO OOO. The bill served as a text for sharp criticism against the administration of the pension office.
 The army appropriation bill was con. sidered, but not completed owing to spir- tied opposition to the abandonment of ar- my posts in the far northwest
 The day in the house was again devoted to the Indian appropriation bill, and fair progress was made A number of amend, mcnts were adopted, the most important being to pay to the Cherokee nation Sl, 660, 900. An amendment by Mir. Pickler to discontinue tho services of army officers as Indian agents was ruled out of orCor
