CHARLES A DANA,

The death Of the famous editor of
the New York Sun has called forth
trleates to his extraordinary genius
from all nswspaperdom. For many
years past the. name of Dana
mas been mentioned In the southern
press chiefly in terms Of indignant
protest or bitter enmity: but the
magical glamour of death has left only
the memory Of his greatness; and his
most I'm relentlDg foes stand silent IN
the presence of the still form so deaf
TO praise or blame. Mr.. Dana was
almost eighty years of age, and dur
ing hfty years OF that time he bad
been In editor isl harness, making an
enduring name for himself as the
greatest newspaper writer of Americs.
and one Of the greatest Of bis dsy.
MS warfare uponthe South and for
me abolition of slavery was bitter and
'"soli'e. Unfortunately be could
never forget, and his hatred of slavery
seemed to extend to all the institutions,
as well as to the people of this section,
and to continue unrelenting up to th e
time Of his death. His venom often
served TO negative the good results
his keen intellect and gifted pen
might have achieved; but whatever
his faults may have been, his worst
enemies mast acknowledge that in his |
warfare he was sincere. If be was
mereiless aud fansticsl, bis efforts
were always directed against an OBJ
ject or condition which, in his judy |
ment, deserved no quarter.

Work on excavations for the new
ieVee will NOT commence until cold
weather. The work can be completed
in few weeks, and the board of
health hos decided that it might be
unWise to make such extensive exca-
Vatiens at the present time, bearing in
mind that the experience of Jackson
IN 1883 was the result of such an un-
dertaking. For this reason also the
work on the river bank is delayed by
advice of the board until all possible
danger from sickness from this cause
is past.

MR.. REYNOLDS SEWER.
He Don't Think He ought to Pay for what
he Don't Get.

We clip the following from the Ga
zette at the request of Mr. Reynolds, as
he says it hits the nail on the head":
I" By the last council proceedings 1t
will be seen that action has been taken
by that body to compel Sam Reynolds
to pay an assessment of 70 cents per
foot on a 95 foot frontage for a sewer
that extends along his lot front but
twelve feet. That is for II foot OF
sewer he will be required to pay the
same amount as if the drain passed
along the entire frontage of % feet.
Mr.. Reynolds naturally complains
of this as an injustice, in compelling
him to pay for something he has never
had, and when paid for will never get.
He argues that if he is required to pay
for his full frontage, then the sewer
should extend the full length; other
wise that, at most, he should not be
required to pay for more than one half
the frontage. He insists that if at any
time he should find it expedient to put
two houses on his lot fronting Market
street, then he would be obliged TO
drain across the one lot to get sewer
outlet.
"Of course, in improvements Of pub
lie nature, there is apt to be injustice
done very often, and property owners
are often required to pay for improve
ments which are of no benefit what
ever, and sometimes a positive dam
age. But this should be prevented
whenever possible. And to be candid,
it does not appear to be just right to
compel a property owner to pay for an
Improvement which has never been
made. For to say that Mr. Reynolds
frontage is covered by sewer which
extends along the front but twelve feet
is not true. In fairness and justice he
should not be required to pay for what
be does not get. And if the case was
taken to the courts for decision it is
more than likely that Mr.. Reynolds
would be required to pay for just what
he had received, and nothing more "

TRUE AS PREACHING.
GEN. Bragg Makes Pertinent Remarks
About the Pap Sucker.

Gen. Bragg, III an interview, says in
reference to the scramble for places at
Madison.
" Possibly there may be little pat
ronage yet to dispense in the shape OF
few scrnbbers to be named. There
are always TO be found about an equal
number of men who are willing to
leave their homes for positions at the
capital that simply teach them a mode
of extravagant living far beyond what
they can ultimately hope to maintain.
If they can succeed in getting q
suck at the public pap, it always ruins
them for future usefulness. On their
return to private life as rule, they
are never heard of again. And yet one
can always name dozen Or more oil
men in each county who refuse to listen
to the advice of experienced friends
who endeavor to persuade them to keep
out of politics. These men are always
on hand at every turn of the political
wheel, soliciting such patronage as
they believe they are entitled to.

tensions

A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.
A Preliminary Of the Baker Fisher Dam
age Case.

age Case.
| Kenosha was created to-day TO q
display of legal pyr0teehnies of high
order, but outside of three reporters,
two policemen and the interested
parties, nothing was known ST it out
side of Justice Skaters court room.
1t happened in this way. Since the
suit was begun by Myron A. Baker
against William F. Fisher for $4,000
damages for a rating in the Merchants
National union rate book, the attorneys
of Mr.. Fisher have been DESTROYS Of
knowing what Mr. Baker was going to
testify to in the case, so as to be able
to make up line of defense. In order
to get at this Mr.. Baker was subpoe-
naed to appear before Justice Slater
this morning at IL O'Clock. The pro-
ceedings were undertaken uuder what
lawyers call the statute of dis
covery."
The legal lights brought together
O'Conner and j. Y. Quarles.
The proceeding being OF a sort OF
preliminary hearing in character, there
was not much of heavy legM battle.
Mr.. Baker was put on the stand and
requested to tell all he knew about the
account of $l7.14 upon which Mr..
Fisher is alleged to have given Mr..
Baker the rating in the book men,
toned This he did unhesitatingly
stating that the account in question
was one contracted by his mother, for
the payment of which he never obli-
gated himself.
From the array Of legal talent in the
case it is apparent that it is to be a
most stubbornly contested one. Mr.
Baker will be represented by j. ".
Quarles and Mr.. Fisher by exAttorney
General j l.. O'Connor
1t is understood that all the local
members of the Merchants National
union have agreed to stand by Mr..
Fisher and that the union itself will
back his suit.

responsibility for his legislative acts

said, might as we'll face the question of
carrying out the anita pass plank in the
platform now as at any other time

reasons for seeking to have the bill

complsh the reform. and it was no
longer a personal matter. Ii commit

go before it and be heard as TO its pro-
visions. After some sharp exchanges

laid on the table, Hall himself voting
in the affirmative in order to be able to
move a reconsideration.
