NEITHER ONE or TIE RS.

When Congress met in December
the World expressed the unanimous
Telling of the people in saying that
ne great needs of the country, so far
- legislation was concerned, were
I:etrenchment, Revenue and Rest.
Congress has denied them all.
With continuing deficiency and
ne government confessedly running
CA borrowed money, it has not even
attempted to provide more revenue.
And instead of retrenchment the
appropriations will much exceed the
l'ilIion-dollar mark. The appropria
0ns i'll the long session were $5lJ,
80, 600. For the present session they
are estimated at $3.50, 100000.
Always the horn of plenty-never
Cnce the pruning knife
Aud instead of q period of rest, in
which industry and enterprise can
ave a chance to improve the mani
fold conditions tending to prosperity,
We are to have an extra session of
Congress and more tariff-ripping.
What this country evidently needs
is n kindergarten for training and
developing statesmen.

The Eastern Star sociable at c. W. Hay
wards Thursday evening was well at
tended. Curtis orchestra furnished mu-
sic, the leader of the Grange orchestra
being unable to be present.
The experience of Mortified in the
matter OF municipal ownership and con
troll OF electric lights has rudely shaken
the faith of friends of this system OF
management in other towns, who have
watched the experiment with interest.
The original estimate OF the cost of the
plant was between S15, 900 and $40, 900, in
Guiding the water power. Three water
privileges were secured, two OF which
were undeveloped and have remained so,
being too far removed from the village to
be OF service. One of the privileges was
utilized and when the machinery Was put
in it was found that the water wheels
were insufficient and new ones had to be
procured. great deal OF trouble was
experienced in getting suitable wheels
and when they we're finally put in posi-
tion the supply of water was found to be
inadequate and 250-h. p. steam engine
had to be installed. 1t was then dis
covered that the river water could not be
used in the boiler and at a cost of $500
supply was brought from springs. Just
then the dam was carried out by the high
water. A contractor offered to replace it
ACi FooVOs AiO dhlulblNu lnhb IL NOulun
probably cost him quite that, although it
might. The village authorities thought
they could do it as cheap as he. Result,
the dam completed cost over "a 1000. The
village had undertaken to furnish certain
parties with electric power, which re-
CURED the engine to be run at a cost OF
sl2 Gay and the receipts from power
takers was not enough to pay for the
fuel, so the power feature was finally
abandoned. Instead OF a cost of $4,000
to $4,000 the plant stands the village at
over $4,000. The village is bonded for
$4,000 and there is a floating debt of
$4,000. The grand list is only about
5000 and the tax rate has jumped to
PAS on the dollar, making the poll tax
alone 1870. Lately, the rates for private
lighting have been raised 20 per cent. The
trouble seems to be a mixture of i'll luck
and Encouragement. Village officials,
working without pay, in a line OF bust
ness new to them, could not be expected
to bring about the same results that
company devoting its whole attention to
the matter could do. IL is worth some
thing to be relieved OF the risks attendant
on heavy investment. The trouble is
not with electric lights-they are all
right-5ut in the system OF municipal
ownership.

Indian TWINS are Cyclone Proof.

Kansas Congressman, "have earned

We have earned that whenever a
city or town was built on the site
of an old Indian settlement it has
been free from any of the cyclones

A Game Cock,

There is no harder fighter than our
own dear little State. She is our little
dear, don't you mind. She is in the
liquor trade up to the eyes and per-
Sists in her struggle to maintain IL
monopoly in the business, against all
corners. The old bar tenders in the six
years struggle have been cXtinguiShed
and driven from her borders. But the
old fable Of the monster whose heads
were knocked of and shooting out Il
hundred has been cxcmplilied, Blind
tigers spring up on all hands and
original package men, of her proud
citizenship, jealous of the good States
honorable calling, are in the field. Now
the State is extending the business by
many beer shops, fierce in the noble
competition. Barber and his ancient
assistant Townsend are noble cham
piOnS in the lists.

The EnmDaign.

The Senatorial Campaign proceed
ing now in this State is Mother cred
liable to the State nor the candidates.
No man is fit to look after the inter
ests Of a leading nation of the earth as
well as his im%modiatei constituency,
whose qualifications are not kno%n and
recognized two hundred miles from
his home. Circumstances however
might arise to Justify IL great debate,
as when some vital question is before
the country for adjudication, to be
settled in the National Legislature
This is not the case now. The Dingloy
Tariff is law for at least five years and
Mckinley is President. In 1893 seven
congressman are to be elected in tn is
state and as all Democrats are pract-
Ically united, the sole issue to be pre-
sented before the people, will be
ability and personal fitness. In the
same way we urge hat no mar is fit 10

then they may be discussed. The
present campaign, however, is not
chargeable to the campaigncrs, but to
the State Executive Committee. To
illustrate: At the campaign meeting
here five hundred people including q
hundred lads heard the speakers, when
there are 2,700 Democratic voters in
the county, Besides, plain truth to
tell, the body OF voters make UP their
Judgment upon what they read, and
this is a reading age, and a big per cts
OF the voters are Us intelligent and as
able as the candidates. In the present
campaign, therefore, the man whose
views are known, stands as good q
chance with the voters as he who APP
pears before them. Again, the shouting
In meeting OF five hundred voters is
but a poor criterion Of the vote of
5000. The State Democratic Convention
OF Virginiaten days ago refused to or.
