Water Norks--What Mr.. Morgan says
About it,
II. r. CROSBY.

In Pursuance of an order of the Board
of Mayor and Alderman at a former
meeting, the Mayor of Greenwood EN-
ployed Mr.. George C.. Morgan, of Chi.
cage, to make Il survey and submit
plans and specifications for water works
and sewerage Mr.. Morgan came and
after looking over the city. took the
official map and will in a short while
submit his plans, &c. In conversation
with Morgan, i'll reply to the question
as to the Feasibility of putting III a sys-
tenn said: 1t will not be difficult or ex-
pensive to put in Il system of water
works and sewerage for your town
Il cannot Mt this time say or approx
mate the cost, because | do not know
the freight rates, but if your town were
sltuatei III Illinois along the railroads
where | have done work. | would say
that Your system woaid cost something
about $50, 0OG, Mir. Morgan said ful-
Their th&t II would cost much less to
sewer a town level like Greenwood than
ii it Were hjllr He Irtt for Chicago
Thursday whore he will complete his
plans and then return. lie says also,
that ne will make plans aud estimates
wnich will coT-r the maximum cost.
Il have been in this business thirty
years, said the Old gentleman, and
have never yet deceived the people
about the cost. They will not have to
vote more money to complete the
works am very much in hopes the
amount will not be too large for the
people of Greenwood to stand it.. We
certainly need wrter works.

FROM UNRECOGNiZED HEROES
By joaquin Miller.

By joaquin Miller.
And what for the man who went forth for
the right.
Was hit In the battle and shorn OF a limb
Why honor for hltn who falls in the fight,
Falls wounded OF limband crippled for life;
Give honor. give glory. give pensions FOR
him,
Give bread and give shelter for babe and
for wife,
But what of the hero who battles alone.
In BATTLES OF thought where God set him
down.
Who fought all alone and who fell over
thrown.
| tell You 'twere better to cherish that soul
That soldier who battles with thought for
sword
That climbs the steep ramparts where
wrong has control.
And falls beaten back by the rude tramp
ling horde.
All, better to cherish his words and his
worth.
Than all the Napoicons that people the
earth.

Senator Quay's opponents in Pennsyl.
vania got setback Tuesday night In
their efforts to defeat his reelection to the
United States Senate. At a Republican
legislative caucus held that evening Quay
received vote Of 100 out of 1874 of the
Republicans who took part. This is 10
less than the number necessary TO elect
him ;on joint ballot. His opponents,
which include Gov. Hastings, Secretary-of-
State Martin and John Wanamaker, claim
to be confident that his defeat may vet be
accomplished. Fifty Republicans have
signed declaration that they will not take
part in any caucus until the supreme court
has given a decision In the conspiracy
charge against Quay. In his annual mes
sage to the legislature Gov, Hastings made
this significant statement: "While II may
be true the state has lost no moneys depos-
tied in the various banks throughout the
commonwealth, 1t cannot be questioned
that in the past the public funds have been
used for political purposes by deposiLing
them in favorite banks, where such depos-
its were expected to yield returns in the
shape Of political influence. This system
cannot be defended"

His two terms In the house were marked
by such earnest and painstalEing work In
behalf Of the people as against selfish cor
porate interest that he was rewarded this
year by election to the state senate. Mr..
Parsons will be succeeded on the Gazette
by Edward Branch Lyman, son of Judge
Lyman Of Greenfield. Mr.. Lyman is a
graduate of Yale, was formerly on the
Springfield Republican staff, and has done
much of the editorial work on the Gazette
during Mr.. Parsons's absence in the past
two years. Mr.. Lyman has the gift of
imagination, coupled with felicity Of ex-
preston, and he turns with effective phrase
occurrences which many writer's would
record in stereotyped form. His "a
Tragedy of the Home Coming told as ef-
fective story connected with the Cuban
campaign last summer as anything written
by Richard Harding Davis or Stephen
Crane. The Gazette is fortunate in secur-
ing Mr.. Lyman as Mr. Parsons's successor.

v.rmon.,. Abandoned F.rm.
From the Burlington Free prs..l

After trying in vain to secure the occu-
patton of its abandoned farms by foreign
colonization, Vermont has found the most
satisfactory solution of the problem to be
the advertising of the existence of these
lands In such manner as to attract the at
tention Of vigorous and thorough young
farmers who are not afraid to work. The
number of deserted farms In this state has
been materially reduced In this manner,
and at comparatively small expense; and
now that all sections of the country are
known TO be similarly afflicted, no stale
need hesitate to advertise boldly to the
world that II has number of abandoned
farms, which can be purchased cheap, II,
indeed, they cannot be had for the asking.
In the meantime farms will continue to be
abandoned until some philosopher discov-
ers how to stop people from leaving the
nrsl district for the cities.

seventeen Months OF IN. D,ne,.v -,

Seventeen Months Of the Dingiey Law.
The II months during which the Ding
ley tariff law has been in operation have
amply proved the wisdom with which that
law was drawn. On a peace footing, the
treasury would be on a self-supporting
basis today. Mr.. Dingley persistently
pointed out during the months of small
receipts which followed the enactment of
the law, as the effect of advance importa-
tions of wool, sugar and other articles,
that the time would come when the law
would prove sufficient TO cut of the deficit
In ordinary receipts as compared with ex-
peuditures.
The expenses of the war, as indicated by
the excess Of expenditures In 1898 over
1897, were about $l94, ,000. 900. The pro-
ceeds Of the new war revenue law were
about $50, ,0O0, 900 from July to Dec. 81,
1898. The latter item should be deducted
from the total of ordinary receipts In order
to determine what the receipts would have
been under the old laws.
The only change In the customs laws
made by the new revenue law was q DUTY
on tea, which has afforded q revenue of
only about $25, 900 per month for six
months. The elimination of this item
would leave the customs revenue under the
Dingley law about $1Sl ,000, 900, and the
deduction of this and SOC, 900, 900 from the
internal revenue receipts would leave the
, apparent proceeds of the old revenue laws
at 1919, ,OOO, 900. This is subject to fur
ther deduction of $14, 600 on account
Of receipts from the Pacific railway settle
ments. This brings the receipts under the
old laws down to 1896, 900, 900. or 81, ,000,-
600 for every calendar day Of the year.
This almost exactly covers the ordinary ex-
Penditures of the government upon peace
basis.
