SPORTING NOTES.

J. +. France and j. M. McCor-
mack bagged several brace Of quail
at Macedonia station, on the South
ern Pacific Sunday. They report
fine sport.
Messrs. Chas. Hummel, Capt. E.
Bosch, Geo. A. Chabot, j. l.. Star
Hunt, and Mr.. A. r. Guenther of
Osborne, KY, were among the
quail this week near FIoresville.
Messrs. A. ID. Joshin, auditor OF
the Illinois Central railroad, W. I.
Gardner, uperintendent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio and w. H.
Fields Of the Sap, left yesterday
for hunt on the Alice branch OF
San Antonio end Arkansas Pass
near the Nueces river.
The thirteenth annual trials OF
the Pacific Coast Field Trials were
held near Bakersfield, the latter
part Of January. Rowena, a set
ter bitch won first in the Derby,
for settlers and pointers and MINI
rod. An orange and white setter
dog won the allage stake, with
Gleubeigh, a pointer second.
The United States Field Trials

Pointer Derby had ten starters.
The award were as follows: Char
lottesville Field Trial Kennels,
India and Mabob first and second
respectively; Ripsaw third, Tory
Gessamine, fourth; Sister Sue,
fifth. Twenty-one bevies were
found during the Derby run.
The initial step taken by the
national association for the protec-
ton Of game at their meeting at
Chicago last Wednesday, was
move in the right direction. 1t Is
to be hoped that their appeal to
congress to pass a law regulating
the traffic of wild game between
the states. "a copy Of which APP
peared in last Thursdays LIGHT"
will promptly be adopted by both
houses and take effect at once.
HINTS TO sPORTsMEN.
Don't tell your long hunting
stories to a man who doesn't ap-
preciste them.
Don't rehash the same story over
and over again like stale news, it
becomes monotonous to your
listeners.
A good shot will score % per
cent over a dog that stands, or
drops to shot, than over dog
which breaks or chases.
Don't,claim every bird shot at F.;
your shooting companion may be
as good shot as yourself; and
after the days shoot is over, offer
to divide the game.
The habit of crushing in the
brain with the thumb and fore
finger or threading the brain with
wing feather, is cruel, and the
practice should be discontinued by
all true sportsmen.
Don't allow your hunting dogs
to sleep on the bare floor or ground
during cold weather; it will GER
tainly bring on rheumatism shell
ter them from the wind, and give
them plenty of hay or robe to lie
on.
End the sufrerings of wounded
bird as soon as possible. Would
recommend nipping the neck with
your front teeth; thus quickly
severing the vertebre and extend
ing the nerve connection with the
brain

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The ordinance before the city
council to regulate the assessment
and collection Of taxes, seems to
be leveled at the collector in
particular and the taxpayers In
general.
The taxpayer has to dance at.
tendance at both sides and several
floors Of the city hall before he can
get through with the painful pro-
cess c. c. having his taxes. The
Lord knows it is harG enoGs ss row
to pass the ordeal of the city
thumb screw without attaching
any new twists in the machine.
Everybody, from the mayor to
the police, have a hand in the
collectors business. The mayor
has to furnish him the blanks,
the auditor has a check on him
at every turn; and the police take
charge of his affairs.
But the collector is the only one
who is subjected to fines, penalties
and removal from office for any
direliction OF duty. Ii he receipts
for any taxes upon any other form
than the patent one invented by
this ordinance, or II the offence
is committed by his deputy with
his knowledge, he shall be subject
to a fine not exceeding 5000. before
the recorder or removal from
office.
The assessor, the auditor, the
mayor, the city clerk and the
police all have important parts to
play in this ordinance but they are
not included in the penalty
clauses, the collector is the only
officer who can be made GRIM
inal Of.
1t would seem from this ordi-
nance that there has been some
thing rotten in the collectors office,
yet the books OF the collector are
open for inspection, and the office
is kept in splendid order.
The ordinance promises is no
relief from delinquent taxpayers /;
but Is meant as stringentmeasure
regulating the collectors office.
This years collection Of taxes
will break the record; 1t will
reach near $450,000 which amount
added to the 100000 voted to pay
all old debts, ought to have
sufficed to run a city government.

The Water Question.

At the meeting of the city
council on Monday evening last
Mayor Truelsen presented aveto
of the resolution calling the cleo
ton for a vote on the PROPOSE
ton of the bondholders for the
purchase of the Duluth Gas and
Water plants for 81, 695, 900. The
reasons the mayor gives for his
stand are that the price is still
too high, and that it is inexpe-
dent to bring the matter before
the citizens at this time when
their minds are so full of political
questions.
While we are willing to con-
cede that the mayor is sincere in
his views, and believes that he is
working for the best interests OF
the city, we are compelled to
differ with him as to the expedi-
ency of bringing the matter up
at this time. It is about seven
years since this question was
first considered by the people OF
the city ofDu1uth, and during the
whole of that time the question
has been discussed at frequent
intervals and has been the most
vital question that the citizens OF
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-17

additional cost and the con-
sumner pays the bills.
Consequently not only have
wages fallen, but the ST 600, 000,-
600 annual interest burden is
paid by the consumer, and at
least 80 per cent of it falls upon
the workingmen in buying
their supplies.
Of the $3.50, which in this
year 1896 represents the aver
age earnings of the 20,O0O,OOO
wage earners and farmers of
the United States, if they pay
three-fourths of that interest, Is
per cent, or $50 apiece, is con-
sumed by interest charges
through higher prices for their
supplies.
Is it any wonder that the
consumption power of the
country is dwindling, that mills
and factories are idle, that
prices are falling still lower,
and the business of the coun-
try, unable to meet it's interest
burden, is daily growing worse
and worse?
Free silver means more
money, an opportunity to pay
these debts and reduce this in
terest burden. It means, then,
increased consumption power
on the part of the people, the
building up of our home
market, and in addition the re-
capture of the markets of the
world.

T.V. Powderly spoke at the
Armory hall Friday evening
to about 800 people for the gold
standard. It took him the
greater part of the evening to
explain his position; that after
many weary hours of thought
and study, until the midnight
oil burned low, he discovered
what? That there was more
money for him talking for the
goldbugs than advocating the
cause of those who have follow
ed him so long.

them for their consideration. 1t
is of the utmost Importance
to the health of every man,
woman and child in the city that
the water question should be
settled at the earliest possible
moment so that we can all he
assured of an early and ample
supply of pure water; and so
long as this question remains un-
settled it retards the growth of
the city, by preventing many
people from locating here on &C.
count of the fear of a recurrence
of the typhoid fever epidemic
which desolated so many homes
last winter. AS the matter
touches so closely the health of
every citizen, and also the gen.
era1 prosperity OF the city, every
one will readily see the desirable
ity of obtaining the fullest ex-
preston from the voters, and at
no time can this be done better,
with smaller cost to the city,
and less inconvenience to the
voter than at the coming election,
when the registration will be
very large and nearly every voter
will be at the polls. This is not
a political. question, nor should
it be allowed to enter into poll
tics, and taking all the circum-
stances into consideration; it is
difficult to conceive how any one
would willingly take the respon-
sibility of preventing the people
from voting on this question
when the desire for a final settle
ment fit is so strong as ex-
pressed bv the vote of the alder
men representing the different
wards.
So far as the Mayors objection
to the price is concerned, we be-
lieve that the people, before vot-
ing will carefully weigh the
arguments presented on both
sides of the question. While the
figures are higher than those of
the city engineers for the dupli-
cation of the plant, we do not
think this fair comparison, as
there are admittedly many items
of cost which are not considered
in the estimates of the engineer,
such as the making of connec-
tons with buildings, and in
terest on bonds which would re-
ouire to be issued before the con-
struction could be commenced.
We believe the voters are fully
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-17

the bondholders sunk their
money in this plant when the
city was not in position or
willing to build a plant for itself;
and also the earning capacity of
the plants as they at present
exist, and which could be con-
siderably increased if the plants
were operated by the city. There
are many citizens who believe
that the city would have been
better off today if the first pro-
position had been accepted even
although very much higher than
the present; for no one can denv
that the credit of the city has
suffered severely on account of
the troubles with the water
company; and no doubt if the
works had been under city con-
troll several years ago the fever
epidemics would have been very
much more limited, if they could
not have been altogether pre-
vented, and the city better off
financially.
We believe that the voters of
the city will do a wise thing to
accept the present proposition,
and the sooner the plants are
turned over to the city the bet
ter it will be for the health of the
citizens and the more profitable
it will be for the pockets of the
taxpayers and the city treasury.

son of the Belknap proposition
