Despite the very pronounced ma
iority by which his motion to sub
NIT the sewers to water test was
defeated, Alderman Guerguin
should continue to press it. The
mere fact that the engineers Office
contains drawings OF levels, falls,
ETC., proves nothing. "The proof
OF the pudding is in chewing
the bag" The sewers are either
water tight, or they are not. There
is but one way to prove 1t, and that
is by making practical test. And
the test should be made, regardless
Of the opposition Of the city engi-
neer and the sewer contractors. In
fact, their opposition should prove
an additional incentive to make
the test.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CONTRIB UTOR.
If City Engineer Pancoast or the
contractors will advocate one
single tenable reason in opposition
to the proposition to submit the
alleged completed work on the
sewers to practical test, further
contention will cease. Why should
the work not be submitted to a
test, to determine whether it is air
and water tight? Will City En-
gineer Pancoast or the contractors
please answer.

The example OF the United States
government, in abolishing the fee
system so far as it applied to
marshals, commissioners and at
torneys, and substituting therefor
stated salaries, is likely to be fol-
lowed by the legislatures Of all
those states where the pernicious
fee system is in force. 1t is almost
assured that the next Texas legis.
lature will meet the universal de,
mand, and enact a law providing
for the payment OF salaries to al
officers and the covering Of
fees and costs OF every character
into the public treasury, This is
as it should be, and will do more
to purify local politics than an
army Of goo-goos could accomplish
by pharisaical cant and preaching
in century.

THE FARMERS ATTEST LOYALTY

Assurances hat They Are for Sound
Money n Sound Principles.
One Of the earliest parties was made
up Of farmers from Monroe county,
Mich, to whom Maj. Mckinley said:
II have never believed, as some peo-
pie have been saying, that there was
ever any danger about the state of Mich
lgan. There has never been a moment
when I had the slightest doubt about

American policy that will protect your
property, your interests, your labor, your

are indispensable to the welfare Of man

that you believe not only in a protective

farm or in the factory, or in the mine,
you want to receive in payment dollars
that are good every month and every

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.

Citizens of kentucky Join in Support of
Mckinley and Honest Money.
A large delegation from Kentucky,
composed of both Republicans and sound
money Democrats, was one of the most
demonstrative in honoring the Repub-
lican candidate. To them Mr.. Mckinley
said:
II address you not as Republicans nor
f9ianSs. but f,or as c oIa sfafe has ana M
ready registered a verdict in favor Of
this campaign. l do not believe that in
the past twelve months the Kentucky
people have changed their opinions en-
the questions of honest money and public
honor. Great applause and cries Of No,
no.O Kentucky has usually been a Dem
ocratic state, and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman, Samuel
j. Tilden of New York, an un%precedent-
ed popular majority for President. His
memory is doubtless revered by many Of
your Democrats today, and l venture to
send by you this message to them in Mr.
Tildcn's own words.
Horace Greeley, in 1910, Mr.. Tilden said:
AN unstable currency produces instabil-
ity of prices and is peculiarly injurious
to the farmer. He ought not to be SUBJ
ject to the tremendous agency of an I'M
seen cause, which may d%isappoint his
wisest calculations and overwhelm him
in constant ruin, but he ought to be Set
cured in the tranquility of his fresids

ficting currency Great applause.)

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

Large Delegations from Ohio and Other
States Greet Maj. Mckinley.
Another large and interesting. delega-
ton was made up of commercial travel
ers, mostly from Ohio and adjoining
states. They were addressed by Mr..
Mckinley as follows:
"You have discovered in the last four
years that it is a good deal safer to con-
suit markets than maxims. You have
discovered that prices current and actual
experience in trade and commerce are a
better guide to business prosperity than
anything you can find in the text books.
Your coming together, Democrats and
Republicans "a voice: No Democrats in
this crowdO-well, ono Democrats, but

ing together as you have is an act of
sterling patriotism hitherto almost un-
known in American politics, and pro-
NOTED only by considerations of the pub
traits Of the business n commercial
men of the country.
81 do not attribute your call toanyper-
sonal concern for my success. You look
beyond the candidate to the great princi-
pies he represents, and upon that ground
and in that spirit you are here today;
and in the same spirit I address you
now. No people in the country can be
more interested in the result Of the cleo
ton two weeks from next Tuesday than
the commercial men of the United
States. (Applause.) What you want is
business, and you have discovered that
you cannot sell if there is nobody to buy.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

We do not believe in wanton cruelty
under any circumstances; Mr.. Bryan
should see to it at once that the D Of
his parachute are in good working order.
The best way to deal with a panic is to
vote it to death in advance.
The Boy Orator has become irritable.
He scolds the people and calls names.
He started out on his campaign in good
temper and in good voice. He still has
the voice.
If Bryan will look at bis hand again
he will find that there are four cards
instead Of five in his flush.
The crime of '73 must be lost. strayed
or stolen. 1t has been conspicuous by its
absence in Popocratic speeches for sew
eral weeks.

take money out of the pockets of Ameri-
Bryan is misied into thinking "ths
country is going to the dogs" By the
snarling Of Altge!d and Tillman. The
country will go after these dogs on No

the country returns there won't be any
more dogs worth mentioning.
Here's a ''straw" for Bryan: Out Of

the great ore and steel industries of this
country are stopped he has nothing to do.
There is not q coal miner from Perry
county who does not know that when the
fires are e%xtinguished in our furnaces
there is no demand for him. Now, the
Republican party is universal. It ap-
plies to every industry from the man who
digs the coal, which they call the raw
material-if they just tried digging it for
a time, however, they would find it was
not 30 very raw--from the man who
mines the ore in Michigan and Minne-
sofa to the man who handles it at our
great ports, and to the final finished
product, the Republican policy protects
and defends them ALL.
And what do We defend them against?
We defend them against the products Of
q cheaper labor in the old world. We
defend our labor because in the United
States every laboring man i an equal

you; glad to have your assurances of an

"Thcre is one thing that can be said

WORDS TO RAILROAD MEN.

Employment and Good Money Are De-

There were railroad men on all sides
of Maj. Mckinley when he began his
fourteenth address. One party. repre-
scented the Michigan Central: Another
came from Columbus, o., and represent
ed the Pennsylvania lines entering that
city. Still another party represented the
Erie employees Of Cleveland. 10 all
these Maj. Mckinley said: 500.

to get on the pay roll of a good railroad
company, for you have to get on the pay
