Council seems 10 De uncertain as to
where it is at on the question of letting
the garbage contract for the ensuing
two years. The compensation for this
work. it win be remembered. was raised
20 $4,000 to- enable the work to be done
properly. which. it was conceded, was
impossible at the old figure.
The committee having the matter in
charge at first decided to renew the
contract at the same figure. But Coun-
ell voted this down. Now the com
mittee has turned squarely around and
lowered the compensation to $500, at
which price it had very properly de-
cided the work could not be done as iJ
should be done.
There is a screw loose here. The
gentlemen were either right before and
wrong now. or vice versa. Meanwhile
is the garbage to be. or not to be prop
erly removed for the next two years?
That is the question Council Will be
called upon TO decide tonight.

Mr. Farrell moved that the bid Of
Thomas COffey, at $500, be recon-
mended
There was no second to the motion.
and the Chair called for another mo-
ton.
Mr.. Arndt moved Charles Becker. at
S11.S00. and this was seconded by Mr..
UseltOn. and in doing so. Mr.. Uselton
said the bidder named was about the
only man who had carried out his con-
tract. He had done what o. agreed
to do in the past. had two years ex-
perience, and it would be for the
best interests of the city to give him
the work. particularly as his bid was
lower than the bid submitted a couple
of weeks ago.
A discussion ensued, which threaten
ed TO become personal, and this brought
out a caution from the Chair. Mr.. Us
elton made a big effort to get before
the Committee some record or account
of what took place two years ago. but
was not successful.
Mr. McKelvey asked, in the event of
a contractor not doing his duty wheth-
er the city could compel him to do the
work.
Mr.. Farrell said the city had its
Police Court, TO enforce the contract.
and the bidder and contractor gave a
bond. but no one explained how a con-
tractor. who made a low bid and could
not do the work properly. could be-
better enabled to perform an impossi-
bility by taking part of his money in
the shape of fines.
Mr.. Arndt's motion was finally put
and lost. and then DR.. Taylor moved to
insert the name of J. w. McCracken.
at his bid of S1005O. There was no
second, and Mr.. Menkemeller moved to
recommend the name of Thomas COT
fey. the lowest bidder. at $500. This
was decided in the affirmative. by the
Chair, the other committeeman voting
three and three. and if it goes through
we may have the experience of
four and six years over again, as the

of four and six years over again, as the
past experience of the city has shown
the work cannot be done under theor-
dinance for the money.
Bills to the amount of 1859 03 were
recommended for payment, and the
committee adjourned.
Without any intention of prejudicing
the case of the bidder recommended
last night. or of questioning in the re-
hottest manner his competency, inten-
tions or especial facilities for doing the
work, the thought will obtrude itself
that the Committee did wrong last
night or it did wrong two weeks ago.
When the fifteen bids were opened at
the former session, the Committee ap-
peared to be strongly of the opinion
that the work could not be done for
less than the present compensation
and recommended Mr.. Becker to Coun-
ell. at S121O0 for two years. Last
night it went to the other extreme, and
recommended Mr. COffey, at $500. The
Committee was wrong at one session
or the other, for nothing has happened
during the last two weeks to make the
Job $1,000 easier.
Citizens will remember that three
and four years ago, under a cheap con-
tract, the garbage was not removed
from many houses, even in summer for
weeks at a time, and that complaints
poured into the police Office and the
Office of the Health officer at the rate
of hundreds a week. 1t was then uni
versally CONCLUDED, in the light of a
long and nasty experience, that the
city had never paid enough money for
the work to be done, and the exper
fence of the past two years, under a
more liberal policy, strongly bears out.
the correctness of the judgment thus.
arrived at. Now, it looks as though
the city was to drift back 10 the old
condition of complaint and menace to
health, for there is just so much work
to be done by the contractor. and it
costs just so much to do it, and requires
a certain number Of horses, carts and
men, while the task is certainly no
easier now than it was two years ago.
1t is altogether probable that not two
men out of the eight on the Health
Committee conscientiously believes the
work can be properly done under the
ordinance for 4,40O year.

protected industry pay FOR he cost Of pIo-
lection of the protected industries?
Third. Us not such sNstt m OF proteC-
ton injurious. unjust and ineQmtaole 10
the producers of agricultural staples?
The fourth question embraced Mr..
Lubin's above proposition to give boun-
ties to agricultural exports. Still no
reply came from the American Protec-
tive Tariff League. and Mr.. Lubin's
liberal offer of s., 600 still remains open.
The high tariffers around the League,
who have been eloquently descanting
for years upon the wonderful benefits
of the Mckinley tariff to the Amer
lean farmers, did not dare to put these
questions to an impartial tribunal of
arbitration or even to answer them.
But the Home Market Club of Boston,
with more courtesy than prudence. ven
tured to make a reply TO the Pennsyl-
yania State Grange.
To the first question the Home Mar
ket Club cautiously responds that a
tariff on imports of agricultural staples.
of which our country has a surplus for
export, does protect the home market
price for such staples Ito some extent"
But to what extent? Mr.. Lubin asks;
and then he proceeds to expose the abb
surdiJy Of the pretense Of protecting
the vast agricultural exports OF the
United States by duties on a few in
significant and accidental imports of
q agricultural products. He produces
the proof to show that not merely the
exports but the entire agricultural sta
pies of the country are sold in the
home market at the worlds interna-
tional Free Trade prices" How then,
can a high tariff on imports protect
the staples of American agriculture as
long as there shall be a surplus for ex-
port?
Mr. Lubin shows that the heaviest
burden of Mckinley duties fall upon
the backs of the American farmers.
The question, then, is whether the
farmers Of the United States will join
in new campaign Of tariff deception
and iniquity when listening TO the fresh
bowls of the calamity mongers. Mr..
Lublns little pamphlet should be read
in every State Grange and at every
farmers Preside in the land. There
is no better time to do this than now.
before appeals to partisan prejudices
shall obscure the judgment. If the
farmers should not be convinced of the
iniquiy or the pracucability of boun-
ties on agricultural exports, they might
recognize more clearly how they have
been ground between the upper and the
lower millstones of McKinleyism.

The Council Committee on Health
met last evening for the purpose OF
opening and considering the bids for
removing the city garbage for the en-
suing term of two years. There were
nineteen bids before the Committee
and at the outset Chairman Stathers
submitted a proposition that all bids
be listed and gone over, and those from
bidders thought to be irresponsible OF
unsatisfactory to be laid aside
unopened, all others to be opened and
considered. Mr.. Farrell was opposed
TO this. He did not think the Commit
tee could decide who was responsible
and who was not, forgetting the ex-
periences Of the city some years ago
with bidders who would not or could
not perform the work in a satisfactory
manner. and further said that any bid
der neglected by the Committee could
come into Council this evening. This
was assented to by the other members,
as Il matter VI tOui So Jul luGAS was q
general expression of doubt whether or
not the rejected bidder would gain
much by such a course. Mr.. Farrell
spoke about the bonds of bidders back
ing them up, as to responsibility, but
no one could remember that any pre-
vious bidder had ever been proceeded
against on his bond. or that his bond
had ever aided in the proper enforce
ment of the law.
A call was made for the advertise
ment. but when read it was found 10
be defective, containing no clause for
the rejection Of any bid. The adver-
tisement called for the endorsement of
all bids with the name of the bidder,
andone bid was not so endorsed. One or
two favored its rejection, but Mr.. Far
rell thought it should be opened as well
as any other.
The Chair wanted to know what
was 10 be done. and Mr. Uselton moved
that all low bids, where it was evident
the bidder could not do the work, be
rejected. There was no second, and the
Chair ordered the bids TO be opened.

ELECTRICAL REVOLUTION PROMISED

ELECTRICAL REVOLUTION PROMISED
1t is reported. according to the Bos-
ton Herald. that a well known inventor
has devised a method of producing cleo
tricity direct from heat without the in
tervention Of steam power. in this way
avoiding the losses incident to the in
tervention of a steam boiler and steam
engine. and possibly making unneces-
sary the employment of even water
power i'm driving electric motors. It
is said that the experiments thus far
carried on make it evident that through
this method quite three times as much
power latent in the coal can be devel-
oped and applied as is possible by the
use of the most approved steam engine.
Considering the many ways in which
electric power can be applied. and the
exceedingly small waste. if this inven-
ton in practical operation realizes the
results claimed for *. it will revolu-
tionize the industries of the world, and
possibly prove to be the most impor;-
ant discovery of the century.
The magnitude of the change which
such an improvement implies can be
best understood when one takes into
account the general use that is now
made of steam. In most instances
steam power is much the cheapest pow
er that can be generated. and if at
any time. by changes in the construc-
ton of furnaces or engines. or the pro-
lection of these against the escape of
heat. 1 per cent. could be added to the
effective power Of the fuel the gain has
been looked upon as important. But
| if the realized power of the coal. which
is at present. say. IS per cent. OF its
actual power. can be suddenly advanced
by this new device to 40 per cent, the
steam engines of all kinds of to-day
will become in a brief space of time
of no more value than so much old iron
and steel.
A revolution i'm industry was accom-
plished when steam engines took the
place of hand. foot and horse power in
manufacturing. and when railway loco
motives were substituted for stage
coaches. But a realization in practice
Of the results Just referred to would
change the entire system of manu-
facture so far as power is concerned.
and at the same time substitute electric
motors for steam locomotives in every
class Of railway service. 1t would rad
ically change the methods of manu-
facmre. for the reason that water pow-
err. and even the immediate ease of OBJ
tanning coal as fuel. would no longer
be essential factors in determining he
location of manufacturing plants.
Assuming that a method of conveying
electricity for long distances by wire,
were discovered. it would prob
ably be found cheaper to con
vert the coal into electricity near
the mines and send it by wire 80, 100
and possibly 200 miles to the point
where its use was required, than it
would be TO carry the coal for this dis
lance for the purpose of converting it
into electric energy.
If there is anything in this reported
invention the world has reason to watch
with decided interest a practical appli-
cation of it.
