CITY TOPICS.
REFORM CITY GOVERNMENT.

Experience has proven the best tea
cher in matters pertaining to the great
question of city government. 1t was
once a popular idea that the control
and operation of water and gas or cleo
tric light plants by a city for the pur-
pose of furnishing water and light for
public as we'll as private consumption
was impracticable because such plants
would create additional patronage and
add 20 the corrupting influences of
municipal politics. Experience. has
proven the exact opposite, of this con-
clusion. Genuine municipal reform
begins with the city ownership of the
supply of light and water; a principle
that has been extended TO embrace
other necessary adjuncts to the, life Of
concentrated population. A distin-
guished member of the British parlia-
ment laid down the proposition, during
the tendency of bill authorizing the
purchase of water works by the city of
Birmingham. that "all regulated nc
nopolies sustained by the state, in the
interest of the inhabitants generally,
should be controlled by the representa-
tives of the people, and not left in the
hands of private SPECTATORS This
principle has been adopted by most of
the municipalities of England, and has
long been a recognized necessity in the
best regulated cities and towns in the
United States. Experience has proven
that private corporations are the
breeders of political corruption in mu-
nicipal politics. These corporations
in order to secure favor and prevent
legislation, lavish their mon
ey and favors during the city cam
paigns and afterwards, until it be-
comes a public scandal. They look
at the control of the city government
as a mere matter of business, and the
to the election funds as
legitimate expenses in behalf of the
Public ownership would
increase public employments, but re-
form city government soon gets a start
after the incubus of private corporate
interests are disposed of, and the evil
Of political patronage is reduced to
minimum. The recent suggestion that
our city purchase the waterworks
plant, was met by any amount of OPP
position and unnecessarily so, because
such a proposition did not emanate
from Mayor Callaghan. His position
on this point is entirely subject to the
demand of the public. 1t is not
probable that during the present term
of Mayor Callaghan, such proposition
viii be entertained. The movement
must be backed by the taxpayers; pub
lie sentiment must be responsive to
the demand, and then it will be posi-
BILE for the city to take control of the
supplying of water and light to the
public.

THE SEWAGE FARM.

The prospect of the near completion
of the sewer work, and the early use
of the sewers by making house connec-
tons, particularly within the central
portion of the city brings up very
prominently the sewer farm. If the
sewers have to wait until the city can
get the farm under way; until the mes
quite is grubbed out, the land plowed,
the tenement houses erected for the
farmers, or until the city can secure
renters who will do all this, then 1t will
be far along in 1898 before the flush
tanks are turned on. Mayor Gala
CHAN is too practical to allow unneces-
sary delay in putting the sewer system
in operation; he realizes that it will
take time and patience to bring the
community to the use of the sewers;
that to attempt to force property own
ers in outlying sections of the city 20
use the sewers at once would be entail
ing unnecessary hardship. But Mayor
Calaghan fully realizes the pressing
necessity of relieving the river. and
bitches from the contamination of pri-
vate sewers, and will do his best to
have the central portion of the city use
the sewers. The sewer farm becomes
an important factor of the sewer sys-
tenn as the disposal of the outfall must
be provided for. In the first place it
is patent that the sewer farm was not
necessity. 1t was conceived from an
erroneous understanding of the facts;
il there is water sufficient to furnish
irrigation, it was sufficient to take off
the sewage even If the river did not
furnish a drop-if it was because of the
prejudice against emptying sewage in
to the river, the river gets the sewage
now in it's most noXious form, but the
strong point was that the sewer farm
would yield a big income to the city,
and that it was a prime speculation;
the present mayor and council are not
enthused over the prospect of the city
becoming a rich farmer by the opera
ton of the sewer farm. The farming
business will not be practicable for
some time to come. and the sewers
must be put in operation. Sewer farms
are not new experiments, but they are
mostly in operation in densely popu-
lated cities where the use of fertilizers
are important. Our sewer farm is in
tended to be operated pretty much on
the same principle of other sewer
IdTIf1S, only WIN lUe ulHeTeHCe lndI On
our farm it is proposed to utilize he
water for irrigation while on other
sewer farms the water is returned to
the streams and the solids utilized to
fertilize cultivated lands.
The city of Birmingham, England
with a population Of half a million
in the limits proper, has a sewage farm
Of 1900 acres; this would indicate that
our 500 acres will answer for some
years to come. On this farm the pro-
cess is to first mix lime with the sew
age to prevent too rapid decomposition
and assist in the precipitation OF the
solid matter; then 1t is passed through
series OF tanks, during which pro-
cess the mud is removed. The re-
mainder is dug into the land, one-third
of which is dealt with each year, the
effiuent being discharged in a harmless
state into the river Thames. Upon
the other two-thirds are grown early

Perhaps the most eloquent thing on
or in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is that
little red slip on page 1. 1t is, in fact,
very eloquent and has a new ermo
every week. This slip tells when
your subscription expires and every
week after it's expiration, it delivers a
sermon like this-and I advise you to
listen well:-
Tert.-Latter part of Matt. 1910.
"Brethren:-It takes q lot of good,
hard work to get out a newspaper like
this. The editors must work night
and day the prin. eTs work six days in
the week to set the type; the devil
must be on hand to do odd jobs; the
manager must stand ready to be 'cussed
out when anything doesn't suit a sub
scriber; the paper must be mailed
and well, there are q thousand and
one things necessary in getting out a
good paper, brethren, and he who
works must eat and wear clothes. So
they must have pay. The owners are
compelled to pay ethem-they can't
neglect them, and yet you, my unre,
pentant hearer, yoW, for whom they
have worked so hard and made so
many sacrifices, have neglected to pay
your subscription. Brethren, these
things ought not sc to be. Unlike the
fellow you paid the other day, the
paper is not making any profs on you.
1t is sold at starvation prices.
PAY up, brethren. The manager is
waiting to receive what is due the pa
per, and the devil is waiting to change
the date on me. Now, if you'll pay
your subscription, I'll quit preaching.
I'm getting tired, and then you can
look me straight in the face once more.
If any brother has a word to say, let
him pay his subscription"
Now, dear reader, look your label in
the face and act upon this sermon.

DOES BANKING PAY IN rzR
SOUTH

We clip from the New York Finan
cier the following answer to the ques
ton which heads this item. Our read
ers may read it and decide for them
selves whether or not they think bank,
ing is profitable in the South:
"A New York daily, moralizing on
the banking problem in the South,
comes to the conclusion that small
banks would not afford the relief
needed, and cites the case of a man
who made a trip through several
Southern States looking for an opening
where a bank with $25, 600 capital could
be established with reasonable hope Of
profit. "His observations satisfied
him, the paper in question goes On to
say, that the small bank would not
pay. When the crops were being mar
keted the farmers around the town
where such a bank might be established
would have plenty Of money to deposit
and no occasion to borrow. In the
spring of the year the farmers with
one accord desire to borrow, but there
would be nothing to lend because they
had already drawn out their deposits.
Deposits would be abundant when
there were no borrowers, and the de
mand for loans would be good when
there was nothing but the banks cap
ital toloan. He concluded that prac
tically there was no profit to be made
except the profit or the banks capital,
aud a capital of $25. 600, not in demand
during the whole of the year, would
not afford enough profit to meet the
expenses of the business and give the
banker a satisfactory income"
All OF which is clearly bosh. The
WithRm banks in Georgia, including
twenty small institutions, pay an aver,
age OF from eight to fifteen per cent.
annual dividends, exclusive of an equal
amount set aside as surplus. In some
instances the dividends have ranged as
high as 40 per cent. In nine years the
entire system of banks has lost in loans
the sum OF $40 %. They are the most
profitable institutions in the South to
day, and new branches are being added
from time to time. The man who con.
cluded that there was no money in
banking in the South must have made
very superficial observations as he
travelled over the ground"

FICTION AND FACT.

Less than twenty years ago a great
novelist wrote a story entitled Around
the World in Eighty Days" 1t re-
quired all the genius and imagination
of Jules Verne to carry a man around
in that time, and to accomplish it with
any semblance Of reasonableness the
traveller had to be very rich, able to
charter special trains, elephants and
camels, to buy a steam ship, and do
other imprecticable things. Such a
trip, in such time was, in short, posi-
BILE only in the fancy of a most ingen-
iousromancer twenty years ago! But
now the regular schedule time around
the earth-for the ordinary traveller
is Sc days, and in a few years hence,
when the great Trans Siberian railway
is completed, the trip will be possible
in So days! Thus does modern inven-
ton and progress outstrip the widest
