THE NEW sTAND-PIPE

The new stand-pipe is proving to be
Of as much benefit as was figured on
and acts as governor for the whole
system. The electrical appliance
connected with the automatic shut
off valve bothered for time, but
everything is working ia frst-class
shape now, The city is to be con-
graduated in the possession Of SO good
stand-pipe in SO good location.
Superintendent Moth, who is thor
ough1y conversant with all the appli-
ances, is we'll satisfied and gave
everything a thorough test this week.
The scheme is to keep the water pres
sure at the pump house at 20 pounds.
This will keep $50, 900 gallons of water
in the stand pipe. IF it is necessary
to shut down the pumps for few
hours the water pressure is run up
before shifting down to 80 poands,
which fills the stand-pipe and puts a
quarter of a million gallons Of water
for storage in the west portion Of the
city. The standspipe is the best &C
QUESTION to the water system since
the new pump was installed. All Of
these improvements have been put in
by earned money, so the City Council
has not been called on for cent.
Notwithstanding ali Of these i'm
provements the citizens have the
cheapest water rate of any city any
where near Kenosha' s size in the west.

END THE SCANDAL

1t is a scandalous condition of affairs
that the government has not yet paid
the funeral expenses of the lamented
Garfield, who, killed by an assassin,
passed away in September, 1881.
twenty-six years ago. The amount
is not large and is said to have oc
Cured through the refusal of the
undertaken to send in his bill re-
ceipted in advance without knowing
how much the government would
satisfy of his bill, whether for all or
deceased himself and his heirs will
make another effort to induce Con-
gress to order the bill paid. Certainly
Congress can waive the treasury re-
Quirement and thus terminate ma
tionai scandal. 1t is not meet that a
mirerable little technical thing should
protract the time of payment of just
obligation.
The obligation was due and on such
q distressing oCCdslOu' ohS ooCS hOt
hagg1e as at the time it is understood
some treasury officials did. It has
been the custom ever since the coun-
try began a national existence for the
government to pay such bills in full
and without nurmur, and this par
ticular occasion in the opinion Of
many people is one that requires the
cutting by the presidential knife Of
the red tape knot, for there must be
some higher power in existence than
some nagging treasury official. Pay
the bill justly owing for the Garfield
obsequies and spare the country
further humiliation. Racine Journal:
