Just what is best to do with the
sewerage system at the present is
knotty problem on the council s
hands. To continue work on it
while there is SO much water in the
ground is dangerous, as the re-
cenat occurrences show, while to
postpone it until the river goes
down and allow the sewerage to
be used in a world of sickness
next summer. We believe there
is solution of the problem in en-
cheering and the consulting en-
gineers who have been paid by the

SENATOR VEST ON TARIFF

The Missouri senator may be
old and infirm, but his latest
speech in the senate shows no lack
of vigor or want of acumen. The
winding-up was especially peril
nent and strong.
He has uttered campaign slo-
gan for the Democrats that will 60
booming all over the country. To
explain a little. Some time ago
Senator Hanna was asked about
making changes in the policy OF
the COP, preparatory for the next
presidential canvass. The Ohio
senator simply said, II stand pat. .
1t was an expressive declaration,
and the party smiled in satisfac-
ton. Seantor Vest, in discussing
the duty on coal in the senate last
Tuesday, used the following:
Stand pat, y
Then pass around the hat,
And the g. OPP. will fry out the fat.
There is fuel famine in this
country, said Senator Vest, mot
confined to seaboard cities or New
England, but extends far out Vets
to nv own state. In st. Joseph,
the third city in Missouri, anthra-
cite coal was selling at SIS ton,
and not a stick of cord wood could
be bought in the whole city four
DAYS ago. In Mexico, Mo-, coal
could not be had at any price, yet
this city is in one of the wealth
lest counties in the state. Schools
were closed, factories shut up, and
the people threatened with hard
weather in an inclement latitude
with all the horrors that attend a
coal famine.
'The president tells us the rem
edy is not to remove the duty on
anthracite coal for three months or
three years, but to take it off abso-
lutely, in order-now, mark the
words-in order to meet such crisis
as may occur in the supply and
price of coal. Yet there is no
more chance today, in my judg-
: ment, to reduce a single duty in
the Dingley act, as parties now
stand in congress, than for me tc
carry off this capitol on my shout
