Livery Stables.

Great precautions should De taken
in regard to the livery stables. as they
are very dangerous If not kept in a thor
oughly sanitary condition. The prin-
cipaI place where flies brsel are the
livery stables. Every cubic foot of
manure in them may furnish breed
ing place for over 100000 flies in one
summer.
Splitting on the streets is filthy, a
menace to public health and the ordi-
nance against 1t ought to be strictly
enforced.
1t is also unwise not to have houses
screened The city should pass an
ordinance forcing all buildings, both
public and private to be thoroughly
screened against flies and mosquitoes;
this would check the spread of mauv
diseases
Strick stock laws embracing all the
territory within the corporation limits
should be enforced night and day. We
will never have a city beautiful with
grass, flowers, shrubery and trees,
while loose cattle are on the streets.
People cannot enjoy city and country
life at the same time.
Now let us consider the results that
would follow should we regulate our
city according to the above sugges-
lions. The improvement in its health

The Bloomington Poet.

are printed in q charming little volume
bound in red and bearing the modest
title Poems Mr.. MINIS Ia a man n
dignihed appearance, with evidence Of
his good Dutch descent. From the bio
graphical skstch which introduces the
volume and from the genealogical notes
which close the two hundred pages We
learn that this poet was born seventy
siX years ago in Kentucky. He and the
Hon. ADLAI STEVENSON drank from the
same sparkling educational spring in

q economy in the House Is the Hon.
Jams A. TAwNET. who has been marked
Tor slaughter by the Insurgents in Min
nes0ta. Il ia true that Mr.. TAwNET Is
chairman Of the COMMITTEES on ApprO-
priatiOns, but thrift has always been his
hobby and he has made a great many
enemies by his plain speaking Il does
not matter whether a Congress election
Il past or to come. his voice Is always
raised for careful expenditure.
II will be found that most Of the Re-
publican members who are visited by
computations about the extravaganza
Of billion dollar sessions are regulars
The Democrats We eliminate from con-
alteration; the opposition always talks
economy but Is ~ active in the pursuit
Of post OfiiCe and court house and water
way appropriations a. the party in
power. The busiest committee in the
closing DAYS Of the SiKty-irst Congress
Is that on public buildings and grounds:
the siege Of Il Is nOn-partisan. Demo-
Gratis and Insurgents a. well a. regular
Republicans crowd tha doors. and We
venture to say none oi those who have
designs on the Treasury il more Of
nuisance to the committee al It's wits
ends than the lnsurgent. The reason
IL not far to seek. An lnsurgent il not
a hero and q martyr, a. he would have
the country believe He tries to reflect
the sentiment Of the voters who sent
him to Congress. and he is not above
changing his convictions TO retain his
seat. II the people in his district are
not satisfied with the Payne tariff Law
and the deeps are murmuring. he IL or
he will become a full-Hedged lnsurgent.
II is obvious. then, that il they want a
new court house or Campus creek
dredged for natbOats he will haunt the
committee that can recommend the ap-
preparation wanted.
There are no sticklers for economy
among the Insurgents in Congress.
There is nothing popular in the idea, Al
least locally Moreover, economy Is not
sensational and arousing a. an RSue.
For the purpose Of publicity il does well
enough in a platform. and a. an OpPosi-
ton slogan it has It's uses on the stump:
but compared with the trusts. tariff
slashing. conservation and predatory
corporations il does not appeal 20 a full
blOOded lnsurgent We notice even in
newspapers friendly to this class Of
Republican in Congress q regret that the
insurgents in the House and senate have
not had the provision 10 embOdy econ
omy in their platform and make brave
stand foe il in Washington. since it Is
held TO be the great issue Of the future.
Well when there are any signs that the
people are stirred up about economy and
show discontinued and mutinoSs spirit,
depend upon il the Insurgents will be
heard in full cry.
