A petition, asking that some change

A petition, asking that some change
be made to remedy the defects of this
sewer, was presented and took the
usua1reference to the sewer committee.
At this iuncture of the meeting Aid.
Weier brought up the old question of a
gate at the railway crossing on Main
street and a general discussion was
participated on the subject. Aid.
Weier declared that the Council was
neg1ecting its duty every day and it
was all because of the influence which
the railway company had over the city
and city officials. In closing his ap-
peal for the gate the eloquent alder
man of the Seventh ward, said, ''Some
day there will be a terrible accident
and them. One of the alderman
mildly suggested that funeral would
be good form and this only stirred the
orator to greater efforts on behalf OF
the gate and finally Aid. Pirsch moved
that the chief of police be ordered to
block all Maiu street traffic until the
gate was put up. Luckily, for the
business interests of the city this reso-
luton was lost by margin of two
votes and the matter was settled by
asking the Mayor and City Attorney
to make report on the matter, which
has been in their hands several months
at the next meeting of the Council.
Mayor German recommended that,
on account of the depleted condition of
the city treasury, the registry of cleo
tors for the coming city election, be
omitted. The recommendation was
adopted in due legal form and there
will be noregistry.
AS the meeting was about to close
Attorney James Cavanagh appeared
before the Council and swung a danger
signal, urging them to take some action
in regard to the payment Of the bonds
of the water company. He stated the
conditions of the trust deed by which
the plant was held by the city and
urged that the provision that the plant
be obtained by paying ten annual pay
ments of $4,000 be adopted, for if it
wasn't the attorney held that at the end
of thirty years the city would have paid
nearly three times the amount if the
original plan of ten year purchase is
carried out There was no action
taken on the suggestion of Mr.. Cavan-
agh, but it furnished food for thought
and action will come later. aIa
In petitioning the council for re-
bate for T. A. Letting on paving tax
levied against his property on Park
street, Mr.. Cavanagh delivered a very
interesting address on the subject of
taxation. It is much to be regretted
that the address could not be published
in full, but space will not permit. The
petition for rebate was referred to the
committee on paving. Council then
adjourned.

THRoUGH the Frick-Carnegie suit a
jpeep has been given the public into
tetge dark chamber secrets that reveals
several things. In the first place it
reveals that Our industrial babes are
gee wing up. Despite our persistent
Keeping them in short pants they have
gotten so big that even Uncle Sans
F1rsataaes are small for them. Here is
M. Frick, suing Mr.. Carnegie for
&2Ll 100000 or one years dividends.
Evidently the iron and steel industry is
a1o {onger a fiedg1ing. When the iron
and steel of America sells, not only II
tEis country, to the exclusion of ali
others, but goes into the markets OF
tde world competing with all other
producers and pays such dividends as
Indicated in Mr.. Tricks suit against
Nc. Carnegie, it is quite time that such
Industries were Invested of all privi-
Ieges secured through protective i'm
posts. This. country is a great con-
s,sfncr of iron and steel. That it pays
unnecessarily high prices for such
q4rcducts is evident in the enormous
dividends paid by these industries.
WAY should not consumers be given
the advantage to be gained through an
open market. 1t is high time that all
protective imposts on iron and steel
products should be removed. They
have served their purpose.
Moreover, the Frick-Carnegie suit
reveals in a very fair way, no doubt,
t&,c state of affairs existing in ali trusts
aad strengthens the conviction that all
af cur giant monopoies should be de-
zrri we'd, in the interest of the people, of
that increment of profit now accruing
froua protective tariffs. The leather
tcUst, the tin plate trust, the paper
trust, and, in fact the whole list of
prQtected monopo1ies should, to- pre-
verrt 4 good principle from degenerat-
Jag into an abuse, be subjected to a
tariff reform that would bring foreign
producers into competition and thus
rot a limit to their present ability to
ztg9&Se prices. When protective sys-
tem has brought an industry to such
strength and maturity that it is able
20 compete with ali rivals in the mar
91ets of the world, it has served its
Egsr<cse. Beyond that tits an injustice.

BOULEVARD CHARTER

company.
This is the charter against the grant
Ing of which the city, through CITY
Solicitor VOsburg. protested before Sec
retary of the Commonwealth Griest.
When the arguments We're heard in
were two issues raised by Mr.. Vosburg
An issue of law and an issue of fact.
The secretary intimated at the time
that he thought he had power only to
pass upon the issue of fact, and that
the question of law was one which
would have to be decided by the at
torney general. City Solicitor Vosburg
said yesterday, when told that char
ter had been granted, that Secretary
Griest had undoubtedly granted it be-
cause he considered that the issue of
fact raised was not of sufficient i'm
portance to prevent its being granted.
He believes that the question of law
was not passed upon, and he will TO-
day prepare petition for writ of
quo warranto upon the company to
show cause why the charter should not
be revoked. Such petitions are pre-
sented to the attorney general, who
grants such writs and who has the
power, if the circumstances warrant,

TRUSTEES HAVE
ISSUED FIRST CALL
Initial Payment of the Subscription
to the Y. M. G. A. Is Asked.
Progress of the Work.

The trustees of the Young Mems
Christian association have issued the
call for an initial payment of the sub
scriptions to the new building fund. as
money must be raised to meet imme-
diate expenses.
The entire amount now pledged the
fund is sa01,732 which falls about $l5.-
600 short of the entire sum necessary
for the building and furnishing of the
new edifce. The contract price of the
building and architects commission
will together be Sls1, i54. This in
cludes the providing of the steam
heating plant, electric lighting plant
and elevators. but does not make any
provision for the painting and decorar-
ing. The construction of the bowling
alleys and the gymnasium equipments,
Office and store fixtures and general
furnishings are also separate items
About $4,000 will cover these expenses.
The work of excavating on the site
of the building at Washington avanua
and Mulberry street is now almost
completed, and early next week men
will begin working on the foundation
of the structure. The contractor is
under charge to have the building
complete by Nov. l. 1901, and Secretary
Mahy says that, allowing two months
for furnishing and decorating the
Young Mems Christian associations
new home will be ready for occupancy
Jan. /, 1902. and the formal opening
will perhaps take place Oh the New
Year day.
When complete the structure will he
