THE JACKSON AVENUE SEWER.

Contractor Connolly has started the
work ON the reconstruction of the Jack
son avenue sewer, and that t~horouSnfare
looks as if an earthquake had struck it.
The street presents a horrible appearance.
The pavement stones are piled high on
the sidewalks and the dirt from the ex-
Walton is also spilled all over the walks,
making life for pedestrians miserable.
The street is, of course, blocked. and will
remain so for at least three months yet,
as the sewer is to extend to the intersec-
tion of Bramhall n Jackson avenues.
The W on Communipaw avenue will
be finished in about a week, and the Trac-
ton Company will then relay its down
town track, which for the past three
months has been uSused.

The estate Gazette this morning
says
The law that produces a surplus Q
revenue over expenditures. while at the
same time defending American INDUSTRIES
from foreign competition, is a COCO law.
This is said apropos of the Dingley law
There are only two objections TO it, +.
THE Dingley law, to date, has netted
a deficit of approximately ffty-two mill
ions of dollars.
2-The State Gazette's' proposition IS
not necessarily correct anyway.
The estate Gazette is at great pains
to prove that the Dingley law is produc-
ing more revenue han the Wilson law.
To do this. it selects for comparison the
first seven months Of the Wilson law
the time when the panic was spreading.
This is the Republican idea of an argu-
ment.
But the question is not whether the
Dingley law provides more or less reve-
nue. than its predecessor. The question
Is not WlelHeT tuG uGilCil i 1858 Va
than in some other year.
The point is that there is a deficit!
The point is that in eight months of the
present fiscal year The deficit is more
h three times as big as the Wilson
law deficit for the entire year preceding.
The question then for the state Gaz-
ette'' to answer is why was the special
session of Congress held? Why was the
bill rushed through?
If the Wilson law had been let alone,
the present year, instead of a deficit,
would have seen a real surplus of ten
millions.
AS for the general proposition that a
bill which provides a reyenu and de
tends American industry" is a good one,
ii need only be said that any law which
overtaxes 81 per cent. of the American
public in order to give an outrageous
profit to the other 3 per cent. is out
rageously bad. That is what the Dingley
law does.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Little Is Done Besides Listening to a
Few Complaints.


Great Falls, Sept. 12.-AIl of the al
dermen were present at the meeting Of
the city council this evening, the first
time in several months when a full rep
resentation was had. Outside of the
report of the special committee to fix
the tax levy, there was little to be
done. A communication from James
w. Freeman was read by the clerk. 1t
called attention to a pond of standing
water on the north side, which, in the
opinion of the COMMUNICATE. was a
menace to public health. He called the
attention Of .he council to the ordin-
ance on the subject and asked that II
be enforced.
The council then took up the matter
of the annual tax levy on the report of
the special committee, which tool the
form of resolutions, fixing the levy at
10 mills on an estimated valuation of
five and one-half millions. The resolu-
tons were passed on roll call.
Alderman Wadsworth suggested that
II was necessary to appoint a successor
to Barney Joyce, resigned, collector Of
poll taxes. The matter was referred to
the ways n means committee.
Paris Gibson addressed the council
about the park drive. which he said
was in a miserable condition. 1t had
never been touched save for its 5etri-
ment. He urged that the city make
some improvement on IL. The city en-
glneer the cost at $500 and
the public improvements committee
was Instructed to look into the ques-
ton.
The mayor stated that II was neces-
sary to have some street signs placed
at the corners on the west side in order
to facilitate the working of the free de-
livery of mai in that section of the
city. The city engineer was instructed
to put up the signs.
A few claims were reported favorably
by the auditing committee and allow
ed by the council. The city clerk was
authorized to conduct and consummate
the sale OF the water bonds. 1t was
also decided to have a meeting of the
council at $50 o'clock on the morning
of the 22nd. in order to be in session
at the time of the BON sale. The coun-
ell then adjourned.

Chicago, Sept. blower cables. big re-

increase in the shipments from Russia,
which seemed 10 discredit the reported
crop disaster In that country, started
wheat a tribe lower.
The corn market was also weat ara
had a depressing influence on wheat.
Trade was dull and longs liquidated
freely from the start, with a good sprink-
ling of selling orders from the outside.
Later. however. il was found hat the
Northwest markets were holding strong
and higher in spite of big receipts there,
and that both cash and future were ad-
vancing.
That, together with light speculative
offerings, has alarmed the early sellers
and there wac some heavy covering for
a time, which turned prices upward. Sta
~tistical news was very bullish and was
largely instrumental in keeping the price
on the advance as IT came to the knowl-
edge OF the traders. The close was &c
higher for September and December rose
kqnc.
Warm weather, large receipts and an
increase in the visible supply weakened
corn. The government report was also a
disa ppointment TO the bulls. The pit sem
timent was very bearish and there were
few buyers on hand to take the offerings.
The close was SAC lower on the day.
Oats held firm under a good demand
for September from shippers. Trade was
quite active. May gained lsc.
Provisions were firm on an excellent
cash demand. together with heavy buy

narrow and the close was unchanged.
