M. o. Plan Has Failed.

Under this heading the Escanaba
(Nlich.D Mirror gives the following item
"The city Of Algoma. WIS.,. finds that
the municipal light and water plant Is
running behind and Is appealing to its
citizens to come to the aid Of the insti-
tuition. For the year 1907 the city paid
for water and light the sum Of $3,65S,
while private persons and corporations
paid $4.763 approximately. The cost
Of running the plant. labor, fuel, minor
repairs and incidentals, Is about $50
per day, or $1,000 year. Thus 1t Is
shown that there Is but $1,l21 to pay
the interest OH the bonded indebted
ness Of $4,000 at 8 per cent. which Is
$500. which would leave deficit Of
S3S7.37. saying nothing about the mon
ey that was expended on the intake
pipe last year. This pipe has to be
taken UP and relald, and conservative
persons estimate the cost In the neigh
borhood Of $4,000. An appeal Is made
to citizens not to protest Mt the high
cost of water aud light"
The actual loss Is probably very much
higher. us the above estimate does no,
include interest on $4,000 Of the In
vestment not covered by bonds. MOI
does II Include depreciation, lost taxes
and other items usually omitted from
, such reports.

A Late Awakening.

The chairman Of the finance commit
tee Of the council Of Woodstock, N. B..
writes:
"The Woodstock municipal lighting
plant was installed In 1882, ut cost Of
approximately $4,000, and continued
to serve the town up to the fall Of
1906, when contract was entered into
by the corporation with private con-
Germ generating by water power. The
municipal plant had got IN poor shape
and was not giving satisfactory serv-
ice. and this. added to the high price Of
fuel. induced the corporation to accept
the offer Of the private company, which
now has monopoly, the municipal
plant being practically fit for the scrap

An Easy Mark.

In his heart of hearts the average
American believes In his country and
Its institutions and has faith that 1t
will successfully work out Its great pO-
litical. industrial and social problems In
ways that are In harmony with indl-
vidual liberty and democratic form Of
government. But that does not pre-.
vent an occasional hankering after the
feshpots of the Egypt Of paternal gov
ernment. whether It Is frankly mo-
narchlcal or nomlnally republican. We
are prone to forget that such a govern.
ment Is very close corporation and
one that Is apt to be arbitrary In Its
methods and. since It controls the
courts. less amenable to public senti-
ment than were the private corpora.

DRY GOODS TRADE
 IS MORE ACTIVE

New York, November 14.-F1uctuations in raw cotton caused hesitation in cot ton goods trading, but prices were gem erally held firm. Values on goods are being adjusted to a level of higher cotton, and while the process is necessarily de- iayed when cotton breaks, all indications point to a steady expansion in the gen eral demand. Staple ginghams have been advanced to cents and discounts on staple prints are very close. There is con siderable reordering of fine and fancy cottons, and the manufacturing trades of fering working suits and shirts continue to get a steady business. Jobbers are do- ing a very fair November trade and advance orders are good. The distribution of duck and some of the more staple lines of heavy cottons is growing broader Cotton yarns are held in steadier demand and more business is being done The mills generally are in need of business for next year. The silk markets are not good although silk and cotton mixtures continue active. Mems wear woolens are selling well and worsteds not so good The metropolitan retail trade is about normal, while in the industrial centers 1t is expanding rapidly.

 The third game was fiasco. Tennessee assumed an enormous lead of six runs. When the ninth inning arrived, however, Alabama had tied the score. But Ten nessee got the decision after all.

 Reaching the city the Alabama team went aboard the train for home, and there was no regret expressed that the mob had done it's work. That Alabama had won in spite of great handicaps was the cause of rejoicing, and although Man ager Pitts nursed his face tenderly. he, too, often broke the silence with uproar- ious laughter.
