SATURDAY, MARCH 4,1S93.

STOP AND CONSIDER.

It is probable that a resolution will be introduced into the council Monday night for the paving of Main street with brick from the Vandalia railroad to Lonjjview. Very likely it will pass, too, unless those members of the council who think a thorough sanitary survey of the city should precede any cf those permanent ptreet improvements which we are just now entering upon, can obtain a majority.

Public sentiment in our city has at last reached that point where it will uphold the conncil in investing in those substantial permanent street improvements whose first cost is considerable but which in the long run prove much cheaper, besides being a continual source of satisfaction, comfort and convenience. Property values along the lue ot there improvements are also sure to rise. But before beginning such im portant work there should be ample time for discussion not only in the council but among the people whose money is to pay the cost. The experience -of other cities should be studied so that their mistakes may be avoided.and their successes be followed-

We believe it trill be a mistaJte to vndrrtake jiermanent improvements in Craufordsrille without first having a sanitary survey made of the city by an expert sanitary engineer.

It is now generally conceded that what little sewerage we have is of very little account beeiuse it was built at different times by differentj plans and consequently there is no system about it. What we want is a system of sewerage and that wo cannot have uuless an engineer surveys the city with this purpose in view. When once a plan is made the eewers can be built gradually but all in accordance with this plan. But it seems to be the idea of some that street paving can be done now and sewora delayed until later. Ignoring the fact that sewerage is ot more real importance than paved streets still it would be almost folly to acton the above mistok en idea. When paved streets are down it practically ruins them to be dug np for eswers or any other purpose. In moet cities property holders are compelled to

make all water and gas connections before paving is begun and then an ordinance is passed prohibiting the disturbance of the pavement for ten years. Do we want to spend money in paviDg a street only to have it spoiled in a year or so by making sewera across it and along it?

Tho objection that a sanitary survey is expensive applies as well to street paving and falls under the same rule that, although the first cost is great, it is cheaper in the long run.

We ask the people and the council to investigate carefully and we think their conclusion will be that the following is -the order in which our permanent improvements should be made: 1. A sanitary survey. '2. A system of sewerage. 3. Paved Btreets.

ANOTKEE ELECTORAL REFOBM. A very able article on "Proportional Representation" by Stoughton Cooley is one of the attractive features ot the March number of the JVCM? England Magazine. It is a very important sub ject, which is now commanding the attention of those interested in the pnrifving of polities aud the cause of good citizenship, and Mr. Stoughton has preBen ted it with great force and ability. Among other things going to prove the shocking injustice of gerrymanders he makes the following startling statements:

Observe the make-up of the present House: At the election of 1890 there were 9,930,035 votes cast, for congressmen. The 332 men who were elected received 5,485,(j'ii'i votes, the remaining 4,31-1,909 being cast for candidates who, were not elected hence tho present House represents, all told, only 55.8 per cent of the voters who voted at that election. But the House seldom acte unanimously there is a greater or less* dissenting vole on all matters of import ance, and the action may be determined by a bare majority, composed of lt~ membnrs who received the smallest votes, decide a disputed point, such ac tion will represent only 20.9 per cent, of tho voterB. Thus it comes that, under the present syBtem of electing congressmen, it ie possible for the r- presentativts ot a triile over one-fifth of the voters to make laws for the other four fifths,—a very omphalic denial of the rule of the majority. The Democrats have an overwhelming majority in thepreoont House of Representatives, but their whole 230 members represent only 37.0 percent, ol the voters.

Tin: gossips are already asking what Gen. Harrison is going to do to pass his time after he steps out. of the White Ilonse. Will he stay in retirement? Will he resume the practice of the law? Will he enter either branch of Congress? AH theso things have been done by oome ot his predecessors. Ho is not too old yot to begin a Congressional career anew, and the legal profession,

should resume it, would undoubtedly have further triumphs for Lira. Ho is not likely anyhow to lead a life ot idle­

ness.

A. A. McCAlN. Treasurer.

Loxu before the next Congress ends Cleveland will wish that the 90 Democratic majority in tlie House were re-dut-ed to 9, or swept away altogether. For the financial legislation that he wants he will have to look to the Republicans and the handful of Democrats trom New York and New England.

it

THE Republicans are under no obligations to assist Cleveland, but he can depend upon their co-operation, neverthe less, in all of his efforts to prevent the Democrats from doing as much mischief as they have threatened.

HiiiL's determination to oppose Gresham's confirmation is peanut politics of the pettiest and most contemptible sort, but a good deal ot this kind of politics is expected from this source in the next two or three years.

PRINCESS KAIULAKI IB not exaotly the guest of the nation, bat she will receive royal treatment while she is here, and perhaps she will stay here if Hawaii be annexed. This is a magnificent country

to grow up with.

APPLICANTS for pensions whose cases hnve not yet been acted upon might as well withdraw their papers and wait patiently for the restoration of Republi can rule in 1S97,

IF Stevenson is wise he will refrain trom signing any recommendation for office, and thus escape the systematic snubbing that made life so unpleasant to Hendricks.

Pr.i ESS KAIUI-ANI comes too late to get the Hawaiian crown, but she is in time to negotiate an engagement for th» summer with one ot the American circuses.

I.N selecting a Republican for his private doorkeeper, Cleveland gives notice to the Democratic office-seekers that every day will be his busy day.

THE man who will be inaugurated President four years from to day will be a Republican, but it iB just as well not to divulge his name at present.

THE Populist rebellion in Kansas has convinced thousands of people that there is better land and a more salubrious climate in other States,

liEMEMi'.EK that we've all been prom

ised riches, glory, and honor during the next four years.

Now let's see what the Philistines will do with us.
