the supplementary water sys-
tenn is nearly completed and
has not cost much more than
the original estimates. It has
taken somewhat longer than
was promised two years ago,
and it has cost more than was
anticipated when >the, whole
plant was to be duplicated with
supplementary system thrown
in for$600,00O. Nevertheless, see
ing there really has been some
progress, his complacency is
pardoned. We are also in a
fair way to have done with the
water question entirely by the
long delayed purchase, which
is matter for congratulation
even if the price is strikingly y
similar to the oft rejected pro-
positions. Again the progress
has been slower than was
promised two years ago or even
before the last election, but
again something has been done
and, such a transaction is apt
to take longer than people ex-
pect, no matter who is mayor.
It is matter for further con.
graduation that the floating
debt has been reduced $48,7 ,70(
| in the last year. 1t is still u,i-
comfortably large and the fact
that unpaid assessments and
taxes outstanding would cover
the remainder, does not make
matters much better. Still the
city is struggling to it's feet
and that is fine thing.
TO do this, expenses have
been cut down and there have
been no street improvements
undertaken. It has been &C
complished by municipal self
denial. It had to be done an6
the administration ia entitled
to credit for it's economies, bu
it is a mistake to suppose tina
cutting down expenses is s,
much clear gain. Sometimes
it means going without wha1
is really needed.

BUILDING THEIR OWN ROADS

BUILDING THEIR OWN ROADS.
The citizens of Texas and of
the territory bordering that
state on the west have been,
for some time, waging a gallant
war against the vast railway
combination by which they are
at present throttled indus
trially. They have begun to
build railroad of their own,
and have completed twelve
miles of track from Henrietta,
Texas, westward. It seems
that stock in the railway was
issued to a number of farm ers
and merchants. who paid for it
in labor. So far, not one cent
in cash has been expended for
labor. The farmers, as a rule,
toiled themselves from early
morning until late at night at
track laying and road-bed
making. The merchants paid
in goods when they could not
themselves perform the neces-
sary manuel labor. The inter-
est now felt in the undertak-
ing is great and growing and
citizens, not of Texas only, but
of southern Kansas, northwest
ern Oklahoma and the Indian
territory, are certainly exert
ing themselves to insure it's
success. The ideas of the pro-
iectors are to have direct COM
munication with Galveston.
The business men and farmers
whose interests lie along the
proposed line of the road, are
doing what they can to interest
responsible men in the enter
prise.
In Wall street the liveliest
interest is felt in this unique
undertaking. When it was
first talked of the sentiment of
the fnanciers was one of con-
tempt. The organs of the
money power are. now begin
ming to regard the matter from,
a different point of view. War
has been declared upon the
whole scheme, and it is freely
asserted that the lines which
it is desired to make use of in
connection with the new road
will refuse to have anything to
do with it. This capitalistic
opposition is not the only OBJ
stacle in the way of the men
who have 50 bravely set to
work to help themselves. The
courts, and particularly the
federal judiciary, have done all
they could to put legal OBJ
stacles in the way. It has been
stated that if the managers of
the new line attempt to divert
shipping from the trunk lines
there will be a general battle.
The attorney for the Pierpont
Morgan roads will apply for
injunctions under the inter-
state commerce law. More
over, the present membership
of the interstate commerce
commission is directly under
the control of the Pierpont
Morgan interests and it can be
relied upon to countenance
any oppression from which the
new road is made to suffer.

CHALLENGED THE PROFESSOR.
A BerIin student who Fails TO Pass
Examinations Desires 90 Fight
with His Teacher.

A new terror would be added to the
life of the German ~rofessor If many
people followed the example of stu
dent named Hans Won Flemming, who
has just appeared before the Berlin
courts to answer TO q charge of chal-
longing the president of the senate Of
Berlin university to q duel.
Herr Won Flemming recently APP
peared for examination before the law
faculty in Berlin. At the oral exami-
nation he failed TO satisfy the exami-
ners and was told he had failed. On
hearing this he laughed derisively,
gathered together his papers, and,
without saluting his professors,
walked out of the hall, noisily banging
the door.
The following day he called on DR..
Going, the president of the senate,
and asked his permission to address a
petition 10 the minister of justice to
get his examination reheard. This
DR.. Going, in view Of his rude behavior
at the examination, refused TO accord.
Herr Won Flemming denied that he had
behaved rudely TO which DR.. Going
replied: "You can deny it as much as
you like. but l tell you TO well-bred
man would have behaved as you did"
This reply the student regarded as
an insult. and sent his cousin, an Off
Ger. to demand its withdrawal. on
this being refused he challenged DR..
Going TO mortal combat The latter,
who saw that II he fought duels with
every student who failed in his ex-
animation he would have his hands
full, promptly refused and informed
the police.

Flve injured BIZ FaIling scarold.

PROVIDENCE. Sept. 21.-Five work
men engaged in the construction Of a
new wing at the Rhode Island hospital
I'm this city were injured yesterday by
the fall of a staging on which they
were at work. 1t is feared that two OF
the men, Patrick Martin, a mason. and
George Abbott, a bricklayer, will die.
Martin is unmarried and about "a years
of age. He sustained a fracture of the
spine. Abbott is 81 years Of age and
married. His skull was fractured, and
he was otherwise injured. The staging
was about 40 feet from the ground, and
the accident is supposed to have been
due to the giving way OF cross brace
on which rested one end Of the planks
on which the men stood.

Decision on Revenue war stamp.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-Assistant
Secretary spalding Of the treasury de-
partment has rendered decision that
an internal revenue war stamp Of Sc
need not be affixed TO manifests OF for
eign vessels covering cargoes to be con-
veyed in the ships from one port to an
other in the United States for transport
tation to a foreign country, but that
such a stamp must be placed on the
manifests of the cargo at the port Of
export from this country. He calls the
attention of collectors to the require
ments of the war revenue act relating
TO stamps on shippers manifests. they
being ofsa different character from the
masters manifests of goods exported.
The decision relieves masters Of foreign
going vessels of the necessity of afilx-
ing stamps on manifests except at the
final port Of export.
