AFTER putierlng around great deal
the proprietors of the Waterworks Co.
made bargain on Tuesday with Truman
y Cooper to dredge out channel for the
upper water pipe. 1t took some time to
reach this stage notwithstanding the
urgency of the case. There will be more
ly-dallying before the work is com
pleted unless the city council lnterposes
and compels instant action. The plan is
to throw up the dredged matter on either
side OF the cut as it will not be an easy
matter for scows to take the meterial out
N the lake. There should be an iron
clad agreement that this matter be dredp-
ed and taken out at the earliest possible
time IN the spring. The present Water
works 20. can be trusted to do nothing
unless 1t has power of compulsIon be-
hind 1t. The city council should be aware
of this fact by this time.

PEOPLE are a little curious TO know
what the deep waterways commissioner
has done during the wear. We have had
some experience with deep WATERWAYS here
IN Manitowoc, but nec'a'r a commissioner
do we know. What has he done? Who
is he? Where is his abode? What does
he do? People want to see him, hear of
him, know that he has local habitation
and a name. Where is he hiding? Why
is he hiding?
Was there ever before such folly as the
creation of this sinecure? Will the
folly be perpetuated? Such things justi-
ty movements o. popular unrest. The
law creating this position should be re-
peate6 as rapidly as bill for this pur-
pose can be passed.

The Sentinel is being severely criticised
because of It's opposition to Mr.. Payne's
beng offered place In Mckinley's cab
met. Many of these criticisms have the
stamp OF obsequlousness. The impulse
10 defend man IN power not wholly for
the fRyors he might distribute, but to be
IN favor, Is one of the weaknesses OF
human nature. There is no attack more
aggrayatlng than that having this anlmus.
The party rushing to the defense has not
honest indignation urging him on and he
simply makes use of the occasion to adj
vertlse his devotion.
The Sentinel Is right in Its opposition
10 one sense, wrong 10 another. 1t is en-
Titled to credit for Its opposition to Hen
~ Payne as 1t views the matter and de-
serves words of praise rather than con.
demnatlou. But If there be otfense in
the employment II which Mr.. PAYNE en-
cages at times, 1t should not be urged
against tim as candidate for a cabinet
position, If It be not bar to honorable
employment IN general. Is it wrong,
morally, TO be a lobbyist, TO work in the
interest OF corporations? That is the
whole question. II it lsthen steps should
be taken to prevent people engaging in
it.
There Is likely to be as much error IN
opposition as IN approval. There is a
growing disposition TO rank the employer
OF labor as the enemy of labor. and to re-
gard as unit for public service the man
who has shown capacity by filling re.
sponsihle positions. Corporations never
employ fools. The man to whom they
pay large salaries are men of brains and
of affairs Is the nation tn dany ;tsaIt
the services of those men who have
proved their value, simply because cor
poratlous have recognized it?
Daniel Manning was very successful
manager OF political campaign. The
very qualities that made him such made
him one OF the ablest cabinet officers the
country has ever had. When he furnish.
ed proof Of capacity should it be consId
eret disqualification? Mark Hanna is
reputed 20 be an able political manager.
Should the country decline his services
because OF his astutaness,? Yer wrong.

KANSAS will be an interesting study
during the cext two years. Popullsm
will be given trial there without a
check and will thus be gwen an oppor-
tunity TO show its fruits. The popullsts
have every branch of the state govern
ment including the supreme court, with
chief justice who has taken the advanced
ground that the rights of the user of
property are paramount to those of the
owner. There should be no predictions
Of the outcome. The results viii speak
for themselves and the results whatever
they may be, should be honestly made
known. II Kansas under populist dom
ination attains prosperity that party viii

will be discredlted.

The Scotch are most remarkable peo-
pie. Broad OF chest, self-reliant and with
q superabundance of vitality, they know
the art of good living. They are temper
ate but with capacity for indulgence
when The occasion makes it proper.
They always observe st. Andrews Day
but IN manner which makes every one
wish he was Scot for the time being.
There is rare blending of simplicity and
boisterousness, reserve and familiarity,
good-fellowshlp and restraint, hospitality
and caution IN Scotch gatherings. The
national characteristics survive change
and defy time. The Scot is certainly a
person of wonderful individuality. in
flexible but most compan1onable.

THERE Is one trouble always about
proposed reforms and that is they are
apt to be accepted as such without a
careful examination to determine wheth-
er they are such in realty. The PROPOSE
ton to dispense with convict labor is
denominated reform. But is it such?
Ii these men were not criminals they
would come into competition with labor
to the same extent they do now. Our
county asylum is selfsustaining largely
because of the labor of its inmates. But
they compete with labor and the argu-
ment against convict labor will apply
with equal force to insane labor.

The reported atrocities of General
Weyler IN Cuba are not true, it is to be
hoped. The reported massacre of 1900
women and children is not well authenti-
Gated and should receive no credence un-
til it Is. People are by no means go

is no army that would execute any such
bloody orders. The Cubans have pur-

SENATOR CHANDLER of New Hampshire
has written an article for British maya
zine of decidedly conservative character,
on the effects of the late election on BIZ
metallsm. Chandler is most pronounced

as through gold monometalism. He evil

be temporary. "The thoughts OF men are

The famine in India is attracting con-
siderable attention and pity is seeking
the cause. India, it must be understood
has population much greater than the
Uuited States. Marriage is either en-
forced there at an early age, or custom
requires it and is obeyed Only during
comparatively recent years has India
beun an exporter of wheat. The business
was SO profitable the country SO produc-
tive and the demands by the English
people So great that no surplus was kept.
Then came the drouth and consequent
failure Of crops and there being no re-
serve to fall back on famine became in
eyitable.
