EDITOR REGIsTER:-It seems that
the more difficult and complicated
the question to be settled, the more
men we have who know how il
should be done. Now since the city
has taken the east side suburb i'm I'M
der its wing and given us q hospital
To get us to be good, we feel at liberty
to try to tell the old town how it
should be done. AS far as am con-
cerned am taking a selfish view of
the water works question. II I am
to derive any direct benefits from
them l am in favor of getting them
some way. 1t seems that there must
be municipal ownership of the paved
streets, and there must be municipal
ownership of the sewerage system.
then why not the water works

age on that street, all tax payers
having part in the expense of paw
ing at street crossings. That is what
they pay for the use of better street.
The AUDITING property owner gets his
return from the increased value of
his property.
When we have sewerage system
all tax payers have to pay for the
sewers that are outside of the sewer
district. Those inside of the district
pay for their part and get returns
because of the increased value of
their property. Now is there any
Just reason why the water works can
not be built by adopting some such
plan ? | may be making some very
absurd suggestions as far as law is
concerned and | confess | am very
poorly posted on law, but Just con-
sidering the question ofJustice, why
would IL not be right to establish a
water works district? Let that dis

The remaining rs per cent. Then the
property owner who derives the d.
'ect benefit of the water and the con.

And the man who will never get the
water will only pay small percent.
Ige OF the burden which does not
enhance the value of his property in
proportion to what he pays. After
his is done, should certain locality
want the water, the district can be
Xtended and this locality pay for the
extension.
l wish some one who is posted
you'd figdre out this plan and pre-.
ent it. We have inside of our citv

undreds of men who are doing their

IMPERIALISM AT HAND.
Republican Representatives of the
People Are Curtailing the
Rights of Americans.

Evidence Of the complete surrender
of Mckinley and his followers to the
imperialistic element in the republic
an party is overwhelming. The record
began with the purchase of the people
of the Philippine islands from Spain
like cattle. 1t was continued when
the president, without constitutional
authority, employed the United States
army to consummate that 'forclble
annexation" which he himself de-
scribed as criminal aggression. 1t
found new expression in the refusal
of the administration forces at the
capital to permit any expression OF
national sympathy for the Beers In
their struggle against imperial Brit
ain, and it has had its most impress
sive and menacing manifestation in
the determination to tax the Porto
Ricans without granting them any
representation in our national con-
gress-the exact issue upon which the
colonies in 1776 revo1ted from British
domination.
These are the manifestations of i'm
eign policy. But it does not exert its
baleful influence beyond seas alone.
The same element in our society which
is trying to prove that the Filipinos
are not fit for self-government, that
the constitution does not go where the
flag goes and that the declaration of
independence is an antiquated and out
grown collection of sentimental fall
lacies, will in time turn their atten-
ton to matters at home. Indeed, it
is not needful to say in time-they are
doing it already. You can hear almost
daily the voice of some imperialist
raised to say that the suffrage is too
universal in this land and should be
limited by a property qualification
that is, that many of our people are
unfit for self-government, and that
the dollar, not the man, should vote.
We have seen the constitution torn tc
shreds by the unlawful issue OF bonds
and by the violation of every consti-
tutional guarantee in the Coeur

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
Comparison Between That of 1896
and the Probabilities of the
Present Year.

1t is natural to suppose that the dem
ocratic leaders and managers - the
men who are operating the campaign
of 1900-desire most of all things to
elect the democratic candidate for
president. They are not Intentionally
playing politics. they are more than
in fun, their serious object is victory
at the polls. TO accomplish this end
they must have candidate and plat
form which will command majority
of the voters in the country. They
must not drive voters out of the party.
They must seek vast additions to the
democratic vote of 1896.
1t is, therefore, instructive to study
the electoral vote of four years ago for
the purpose of ascertaining where the
additional support needed for the cleo
ton of a democratic president is to be
obtained. The total electoral vote is
AT, making 224 votes necessary to a
choice. In 1896 the respective states
cast their electoral votes as follows:

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the. country, than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed't to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by f. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

THAT Porto Rican tariff bill may
yet make the republican party so sick
at the stomach that it will have TO
throw up the sponge.-St. Louis Re-
public
Webster Davis can point to the
fact that it is only within the last
three years that a man became a
traitor to the republican party by ex-
pressing sympathy with republic
struggling for it's life.-Omaha World
Herald.
The cost of imperialistic eXpan-
sion up to date is $3.50, ,0O3,200. This,
be it remembered, is exclusive of the
cost of the Spanish war. The highest
net profit in sight is $40,500,000, which
goes to few private individuals, the
nation paying the bills. Is it worth it?
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
An exchange wants to know IL
there is single topic on which Pres
ident Mckinley is not subject to sud-
den change of mind. Oh, yes. That
is easy. He is uniformly and at all
hours, waking or sleeping, OF the
opinion that he ought % be renomi-
mated for the presidency and reflect
ed.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
There are just two ways to get
rid of the surplus that is so rapidly
pilng up in the national treasury.
One is by repeating some of the war
taxes. The other is by authorizing the
deepening of the sacks of the campaign
contributors that now have access to
the treasury and by licensing a few
more contributors and a few more eX-
ira large sacks. Mr.. Mckinley's great
heart beats warmly for the first plan.
1t is, therefore, not unlikely that his
perverse hand will push on the second
plan.-N. Y. World.
imperialism is very inspiring in
blowing horns and beating drums, but
when it comes to setting down the cost
in dollars and cents-every penny
drained from the pockets of the people
it naturally weakens our jingo en-
thusiasm. The appropriations for next
year by our congress amounts to be-
tween eight and nine dollars per cap
ita, about one-half of which goes to pay
for glory and imperialism in meeting
the expenses Of our military establish
ment.-Pittsburgh Post.

THE BLOT ON PoLLYS BONNET.

How many causes intertwine
To make a perfect whole:
What Wondrous power, what vast design,
Must pay it's little toll!
No earth attainment now we see
But bears some tribute on it
From ev'ry human industry;
For instance-Polly's bonnet.
She calls it creation" small
And simple as can be,
And sees no miracle at all
In its simplicity;
But, when try to figure out
The things that helped to make 1t,
So fast the pictures crowd about
hate to undertake it.
That tip, the little tip that shakes
So saucily on high,
Was plucked one day, far, far away,
Beneath an Afric sky;
1 see lordly ostrich stand
And lay his off, ring down,
To help to make, for Polly's sake.
The prettiest hat in town
a little valley next appears,
And on the screen see
Dull peasants toiling through the years,
And trees of mulberry;
'Tis France, where silkworms live and spin
And yield for loom and mat
The shining threads that tremble in
This simple little hat.
Next, wondrous fields of rustling gold
Upon my mem'ry come,
The horses tugging through the mold,
The reapers' busy hum;
And skillful hands are plating straw,
And mystic patterns CLEAN,
To make a dainty framework for
What Polly calls her dream
But what is this, with azure wing
Upon the sunshine borne?
a little bird, a beauteous thing,
TrillS gayly to the morn;
1 watch him bend his graceful head,
AS fitting blithely by
He darts away in merry play
Beneath the clear blue sky.
A shot rings out, the leaden rain
Sheds darkness all around,
And, writhing in its cruel pain,
The bird lies on the ground;
A stream of blood its body yields,
1t quivers, and is STILL
And murder stains the yellow fields
And fashion pays the bill.
So. suddenly, my fancy stays,
No beauty can 1 see;
Gone all the charming daintiness,
The sham simplicity;
And Poilys face seems grown less fair
Beneath her dainty bonnet,
For little mangled body there
Has set Deaths seal upon it.

Now that the backbone of this remarkable
winter is broken, housekeepers are remark
ing the dingy look of the home interior. The
question of new wall coverings is up. Paper

solve the problem. This admirable wall
