In his report to the council on the
cost of extending water pipe to the
hospital, City Engineer Thompson
son recommends that an iron pipe be
laid from the corner of Front and
Vine streets, using II inch pipe the
first third of the distance, II inch
pipe the second third, and one inch
pipe the last third. He suggests a
pipe from the wind mill tank to the
we'll for waste water, and three inch
supply pipe from the tank to the bot
tom of the cellar He would lay the
pipe from the mains to the hospital
one foot deep, either under or beside
the sidewalk. 1t is said that the run
ming water will not freeze, but many
people believe that from one or
another cause the pipe will freeze up.

CURRENCY REFORM.

Robt. s. Taylor of Indiana, writing
in the current Century upon "Cur-
rency Reform" and the part the COM
mission appointed by the executive
committee of the indianapolis none
tary convention has contributed
toward it, has the following to say re-
garding the statement often made
that the convention was simply
business mems movement. He says:
The movement for currency reform
which found expression in the Indian
apolis convention, and in the pro-
ceedings which have followed and are
yet to follow from it, is frequently
spoken of as business mems move
ment-a phrase which has provoked
criticism in some quarters, as though
that movement were one In the in
terest of a limited class of citizens,
and not of the whole body of the peo-
pie. In broad sense, all useful labor
is business, and all who perform it are
business men. But there issa dis
tinction between occupation which
these words mark better sthan any
others which could be used. On one
side are those occupations which con-
sist in the making, buying. selling,
transporting, or handling of goods,
wares, money or securities; on the
other, direct culture of the soil and
the rendition Of personal services for
wages, fees or salaries, The relations
of these occupations to money are not
exactly the same. In the former
there are continual buyings and sell
ings, investments for profit, use of
credits. and dealings involving
money; in the latter money enters in
not as subject of dealing, but rather
as the final fruit of labor performed.
In the former the attention of men is
directed constantly, by the nature of
their daily occupations, to monetary
conditions, changes and prospects, all
of which affect their interests ina d.
rect and vital sense. In the latter
there is less immediate occasion for
thought about such things. There is
reason, therefore, why men of the
former class should be, as rule, more
alert, more interested, and better in
formed on money questions then men
of the latter class, and so good reason
why should lead when questions of
that kind presssfor decision. Indeed,
to do so is duty (which they owe to
their countrymen, and which they
cannot shirk without fault. 1t is in
no invidious sense, therefore, but for
true and convenient distinction, that
we speak of the business mems move
ment for money reform. 1t is not
movement in their interest more
than in the interest of every other
good. citizen. The goodness or badness
of the monetary system affects all
men alike in it's final results. But
business men, in the sense of the
word just started, feel the effects of
monetary conditions more quickly
than others, and in way which ex-
cites their interest and concern more
intently and Immediately, and so
stimulates them to earlier and more
energetic action.

by the physicians who examine appli-
cants to join the army 1t is said
that 80 per cent of all the rejections
made are on account of the evils of
cigarette smoking. When one con-
siders that more than half of all who
apply are rejected for physical defects,
it appears that fully one-third Of the

Help for Dewey.

Washington, May 1.-THE secretary
of the navy has ordered Naval Con-
structor William l.. Kapps, now at
the Union ironworks, San Francisco,
to proceed at the earliest moment on
the steamer City OF Pekin, just chart
cred by the navy, to meet CommO-
dore Dewey's squadron at Manila.
Mr.. Kapps will select from the Mare
island force number of the most ex-
perienced and intelligent workmen to
take with him. In addition, he will
place on the Pekin a full supply OF
machine tools, steelplate and all of
the materials that are likely to be
needed to make temporary repairs to
ship in distress. The purpose OF
the department in making this order
is to put Commodore Dewey's feet at
the earliest possible moment into
first class condition, repairing all the
damage sustained in the engagement,
and in addition to this raise and re-
pair any of the Spanish ships either
surrendered or sunk in the engage
ment that are capable OF being navi-
gated again.

The late appointment of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee and Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
Ex-Confederate generals, to be Major
Generals in the United States army,
at a salary OF $3.50 month, shows
that the slate unpleasantness' is full
ly at an end. They are the first ap-
pointments since the repeal ofthe dis
ability, act, and it is thought the
President will follow up this act Of
courtesy toward the South by the ap-
pointment of other 'Rebels" to places
of trust and honor during the prog
ress of the war with Spain. Nothing
could go further toward winning
Southern respect and confidence, and
none can lay claim togreater patriot
ism and loyalty to the flag than these
self same "Rebels."
