ASKS FOR AN INJUNCTION.
missOuri's Attorney General Requests
the Supreme Court to Stop the Oper.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The state Oi
Missouri by its attorney general, +.
Il. Grow, has made application in the
supreme court and asked leave to file
a bill praying for an injunction
against the state of Illinois and the
city of Chicago to restrain them from
operating the recently opened drain
age canal. The court took the mo
ton. but did not indicate when action
would be taken.
The principal ground of objection
raised by the bill of complaint led by
Mr.. Crow is that the sewage from the
canal will pollute the water OF the
Mississippi river. 1t is set forth that
there are several cities and towns on
the Mississippi below the mouth OF
the Illinois river which derive their
water for drinking and other purposes
from the Mississippi and that these
waters are indispensable to the life
and health of thousands of inhabi-
tants of the state 1t is contended
that Lake Michigan is the natural re-
ccptacle of the drainage of Chicago,
and that unless diverted it would find
its way into the lake instead of the
Mississippi river.
Mr.. Crow also represents that not
only will the current filth of 100000
people be turned into the Mississippi
through the canal. but also that which
has accumulated on the banks of the
Chicago river for years past, amount
ing daily to about 1,500 tons of poi
sonous and noXious matters" If this
is permitted he says the waters of the
Mississippi will of a certainty be
poisoned and polluted and rendered
wholly uTrfit and unhealthful for
drinking and domestic uses" also
that it will render useless the various
waterworks plants on the Mississippi
below the entrance of the Illinois. On
this account it is urged that the
health and lives of the people will be
endangered and their business inter-
ests irreparably injured He asks for
both temporary and permanent in
junction.
Locllport, H., Jan. 1S.-The bear
trap dam separating the drainage
canal from the Desplaines river was
lowered by the sanitary district trus-
tees with the consent of the canal
commissioners and Gov. Tanner yes
terday and 100000 cubic feet of water
per minute rushed into the Desplaines
river on its way to the Gulf of MeXi-
co. The bear trap dam is the largest
of its kind in the world. 1t is 100 feet
in width and has an oscillation of II
feet
Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Attorneys repre-
senting the city of st. Louis yesterday
made application before Judge Kohl
saat, of the United States district
court. for an injunction to restrain
the board of trustees of the sanitary
district from turning the sewage of
the Chicago river into DesDlaines
river. Judge Kohlsaat set January 30
as the date for hearing arguments on
the question.

higher education and opportunities in
the industrial world: an utter de-
pendent on man; occupying a subordi-
nate position in the church, restrained
to the narrowest limits along social
lines; an absolute nonenity in politics.
To-day American women are envied
by those of other nations, and stand
comparatively free individuals, with
the exception of political disabilities.
During the so years which have
wrought this revolution, Miss Anthony
is the one woman in all the world who
has given every day of her time, every
dollar of her money, every power Of
her being, to secure these results. She
was impelled to this work from no per-
sonal grievance, but solely through q
deep sense of the in justice which, on
every side, she saw perpetrated against
her sex, and which she determined 20
combat. Never for one short hour has
the cause of woman been forgotten
or put aside for any other object.
Never a single tie has been formed,
either of affection or business, which
would interfere with this supreme pur-
pose. Never speech has been given,
a trip taken, a visit made, letter
written in all this half century of her
efforts that has not been done direct
ly in the interest of this one object.
There has been no thought of personal
comfort, advancement or glory, the
f-abregation, the self-sacritice have
been ahsolute-they have been unpar-
| alleied.
Future generations will wonder
what manner of people those were
who not only permitted this woman to
labor for humanity for so years almost
unaided, but also compelled her to beg
or earn the money with which to carry
on her work Too often these facts
are forgotten or ignored by those who
have been most benefited by her la
bors. They see glory in the fact that
money is entirely their own now to do
with as they please, but do not know,
or will not admit, that the statutes
which guarantee this independence
were passed by the efforts of Miss An
thony and her compeers.
That they may express in some small
| degree their appreciation of Miss An
thongs life of self-sacrifcing labor, in
their behalf, the women have arranged
this celebration to take place upon her
eightieth birthday.

said for some other localities.
The members of the new school
board, like the members of the old
board, we know to be honorable gen.
tlemen, who will conscientiously ad-
minister the law as they find it. In
doing this they will entirely disregard
and ignore the grand stand play for
cheap notoriety suggested, that they
do mot follow in the footsteps of for
mer members in the administration
OF the school funds" These matters
are thoroughly examined into by each
succeeding grand jury, and it a gra-
tuitous insult and reflection upon
theirintelligence and integrity, as well
asupon former members of the school
board, to insinuate that they have
connived mt any improper use and ap-
plication of the school funds.
The Demands pretends to believe
that an investigation would benefit
"the poor, ragged children, who are
out in the small districts. The edi-
tor is apparently talking through |
bis hat" for the purpose of engender-
ing sectional prejudice, because he |
knows full well, if he knows anything
at all, that an investigation can have
no such effect. If there are wrongs to
be righted the grand juries would
have discovered it long before this,
without waiting a score OF years for
this new Solomon to come to judg-
nent. Let another investigation be
made by all means.
