MOOTED DUES ZION SETTLED

AS a matter of public interest,
we note that the Supreme court
has affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the case Of John
Slaughter vs., n. O'Ber1y, chair
man of the Sewer Committee.
The question involved was, the
right Of a licensed plummer to
make house connections with the
public sewers. It was at first con-
templated that this should be
done, but the city authorities on
the 10th Of December, 1898, pass
ed an ordinance requiring the
city to furnish the materials, and
the supervisor Of sewers to make
the connections at cost to the APP
plicant. Subsequent to this ordi-
nance, John Slaughter, who was a
licensed plummer, applied to N.
IO'Berry, chairman of the Sewer
committee, for a permit to make
house connection with the public
sewer, which was denied by reas-
on of the above recited ordinance.
Slaughter then asked for a man
damus to compel the issuing of
the permit, which was granted
by Judge Fred Moore, on the
ground that said ordinance was
unconstitutional. The defendant
appealed to the Supreme court,
where the Judgment of the court
below has been affirmed.

GETTING IN THEIR WORK

f'otre seem 70 be limit to the
power.oI the trusts with the pres
-nt administration.
THY have whirled the admin
'straficu squarely around from
free trade with Porto Rico TO
heavy import and export duties
for the products Of that suffering
isiard. THIS is hard on the peo-
ole OF Porto r co, whom we have
]reconty scooped in, but it is
good far the trusts, and that is
enough for the administration.
This trusts nave made another
striking ASSERTION of their author
ity IN preventing the consumma-
ton Of trade relations which
would have been Of vast benefit
to the people of this country gen
orally, though it would have in
terfered somewhat with the
trusts. President Mckinley in
his early administration appoints
| ed Hon. John A. Kasson, one of
the strongest and best equipped
men in his party as a special re-
ciprocity commissioner to nego-
tiate trade treaties with France
and other countries.
M. Kassou did his work we'll
and secured The consent OF France
and other countries with which
we have very large commercial
relations to remove their re-
strictive duties on many articles
of American production and
manufacture. This would increase
very largely the sale Of such ar
tjcles abroad and encourage our
foreign commerce. Under these
proposed treaties we are to re-
move and reduce our tariff
duties on many articles which
we buy from the countries with
which these treaties would affect
and would tighten to that extent
the tariff texation Of our people.
But the trusts do not like these
treaties. They are already sell
ing products to foreigners cheaper
than they sell them to the citizens
of this country, and they do not
want lowered to any extent the
tariff wall which protects them
from foreign competition, ano
thus enables them by combining
to squeeze the home market.
Therefore, they determined to
defeat or side track the recipro.
city treaties, and it appears tina
they will be abundantly able te
do so.
What they will do next nobody
can tell. 1t will probably bs
whatever they please-at least az
long as the elements which now
direct the legislation and admins.
trat,on of this government remain
in control.

Such was Mr.. James Young last
night in the character Of Lord

was Byron the audience saw,
saw him in a new but. true phaze
Of his life, a child of circum
stances, a victim of intrigue,
whom ''unfortunate disaster fol-

deep as the ocean and longing
through all it's mighty heavings
for some responsive shore to
break in peace upon. Poor By

and died all too soon aud all too
sadly.
In addition to the most superb
scenery, Mr.. Young has sur
rounded himself, for the pre-

complement of cultured, talented
and refined people, all Of whom
deserve especial mention, but
space forbids; and yet, we mus,
say that Miss Mary Tnurston as
Lady Byron" evinced histrionic
talent that is sure to win her
high rank with the coming years.
And the character of "Hassen" as
sustained by Mr.. Oliver jenkins
could not be improved on.

Ii Taking Most Kansas wheat

II. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: Prices in materials are
yielding. If not the best news possible
for some spectators, it is the best that
could come for the country, since indus
tries could not long prosper without re-
action from the extreme prices caused
by actual or supposed scarcity OF ma
terials last year. The great iron indus
try has been embarrassed by prices for
pig and billets which were no longer sus-
tanned by the gradually yielding prices
Of products. Cheaper hides and leather
enable boot and shoe makers to take con,
tracts for split goods at 213 cents less
than prices recently asked. Hides at
Chicago have again yielded, making 3
per cent. fall in month. At last it is
admitted~-that wool quotations so long
held are fully 3 cents per secured pound
lower than prices in large actual sales
last week. Prices of cottons are still adj
vancing. Failures for the week have
been in the United States POI, against
191 last year, and 33 in Canada against
40 last year."

HE WOULD LEARN OF GOD.
For This Reason a New York Atheist
Kept His Son Out of School.

Kept His Son Out of School.
Because he feared that his son Carl, Il
years old, would learn about God in the
religious exercises held in the public
schools, Carl s. Bitner of SAT East Sew
enteenth street, New York, refused to
allow him to attend exercises there, and
as result was arrested by the educa-
tional authorities. Bitner has five chill
dren, two boys and three girls, the oldest
Is and the youngest two. He said that
he and his children are atheists.
The difficulty became apparent when
Carl's teacher gave him as a dictation
exercise an extract from Shakespeare in
which the word "God" appeared. Young
Bitner wrote the lines correctly, but left
out God" The teacher thought he had
done so Internationally, and ask him to
again write the extract. He did so, but
left out the same word. She called him
up to her desk and asked him why he
left the word out. Bitner said his father
forbade him to speak or write the word,
as there was no such thing. Miss Mar
win at first did not believe the lad, and
took him to the principal, who sent him
home with note.
In court Bitner said this was the third
time he had been compelled to take his
children away from the public schools be-
cause the teachers insisted on religious
teachings. He said he was an atheist
and didn't want his children to learn non
sensical ideas about things that do not
exist. He thought that everybody in this
free country had a right to his own con-
victions in matters OF religion.
The magistrate in few words inform
ed Bitner that nothing would be taught
his boy in the public schools that he
should not know and said IL the boy were
not sent to school he would be arrested
again.
