Reduction in Tax Levy Prevents

Complaints are almost daily heard in
the city hall, regarding the necessity
for the various city improvements

MORE COMPETITION.

It has lately been shown that we don't really feed the world." although campaign orators like to say we do. Now it appears that we are likely to have more competition in the feeding business than we have had The Ca- nadians are boasting of Manitoba's enormous wheat crop of 55,O00,0o0 bush els this year and affirming that it means an early transference of the leadership in wheat exports from the United States to Canada. The Canadian wheat crop this year is put at 000O0,000 bush els. Of the crop of SS,344, 900 bushels last year Canada exported 26,11753O bushels to England, besides 1,OS664S barrels of four. The exports this year will be larger, owing to improved ship ping facilities. There is no reason, it is held, why, at the present rate of prog ress, Canada should not furnish the whole food supply of 16O,0O0,Oo0 bushels for Great Britain within the next six or seven years. The whole area of fertile land in Manitoba is 25,OO0, ,00O acres, and of this only 2,952,00O acres were culti- vated in 1901. The area os Canada's wheat land is much over 5O,OoO,O00 acres. It is stated that the average yield of wheat in Manitoba for the last ten years has been 1891 bushels per acre, while in the United States it has been 13.3 bushels.
 Awhile ago an expert figured out that the worlds wheat supply was about to become painfully inadequate, but he didn't foresee what Canada was going to do in the wheat-growing line.

CHILD LABOR IN CHICAGO.

There have been some enthusiastic protests in Chicago papers against "child labor in tha South" but it is now asserted that Chicago has omitted to pick the beam out of it's own eye. Mrs. Kelley, 8 woman who has labored for years in the interest of the children of Chicago, points out that in the five years since 1897 the number of children under sixteen who work for wages in Illinois has more than doubled-it has grown from 5000 to 19,00O--and most of these children live in Chicago and belong to all classes of society, both foreign and native. Illinois has the largest num- Der of children at work reported by factory inspectors in any of the States" says Mrs. Kelley. The Compulsory Ed ucation law of Illinois requires that children under ten years of age shall be- gin to go to school in September and continue for sixteen weeks each season, of which only twelve weeks need be consecutive; but children between ten and fourteen are not required to go to school until after the first of January, and then only for sixteen weeks, twelve weeks consecutively.

PURE AND IMPURE DEMOCRACY.

PURE AND IMPURE DEMOCRACY.
 When the Republican State conven- ton was held the other day some crit ical Democrats chortled because they thought they saw evidences of the working of machine" If they will take look at their own convention they will see evidences of the working of several machines. They will also see a collision of machines which will make the dust fly and strew the plain with disjected and dejected members. Last night was a great night for pure De- mocracy, and they do say that impure Democracy flourisfed too. When to- day brings forth what it is destined to bring forth there will be about as much harmony in the Democratic party as the Democrats can shake stick at, and the stfck-shaking will be lively. We invite the attention of those who may be little tired of being good and obe- dient Republicans to the Democratic performance. It will cure then of any inclination to be Democrats.

This is a cold world, and it bids fair to be colder, but it isn't yet as cold as it might be. We read that W. s. Strat- ton, the Cripple Creek millionaire, has willed most of. his vast fortune to be used for the construction and main tenance of a home for poor and indi- gent, people at Colorado Springs, to be known as the Myron Stratton home, in honor of his father. It is said that s1,000,000 may be spent on the build ings, and that a fund of S14,00O,000 will be left to support it after the payment of the personal bequests, which include only $50,000 to the testators only son, from whose mother the mining million aire parted while the boy was an in- fant. We also read that a prominent Bombay. Parsee named Nowrojee Ma nokjie Wadia has announced his inten- tion of devoting his fortune of nearly $5,000,000 to charity. He will give his property in trust for the benefit of per- sons in any country deprived of their means of subsistence by sudden calam- ities.

 Penny wise and pound foolish" has never been an Hawaiian motto. It has been Hook out for the nickels," not the cents. Copper coinage is not unknown. There have been several editions fof pennies of various sizes used for trade and advertising purposes, and sailors have brought the bullSier copper coinage of Europe into port. They have all been regarded as more or less of cu- riosity, however, and never seriously entertained as money.
 When the Kalakaua coinage was adopted, the 'nimble dime" the ''coliec- ton box coin," as some wit has dubbed it, was the lowest value considered. As in the days of Leadville and Deadwood, when nothing less than quarter was passed in currency or so recognized, nickels were introduced here from the outside world. In the western half of the United States the nickel has been usually recognized by the traveller as the equivalent in purchasing power of the English penny, or the French ten- centime piece. Street toys, cheap drinks and slot machines were operated or purchased with the nickel in one country, the penny in the other.
 The thrifty Englishmen split his pen- ny into four farthings and marked his goods at one shilling and eleven-pence three farthings a yard, or pound, as the case might be, knowing well that it sounded and looked far less than two shillings, and soon the equally thrifty merchant and citizen of the eastern
