MUNICIPAL CUNTBOL Of PUBLIC W0KKSOn Monday, May 8, Lebanon .will Bubmit a proposition to the voters as to •whether or not the oity shall erect, maintain and control a system of water works. An affirmative vote would indicate that tne people are in favor of municipal ownership of a water works plant, while a negative vote would mean that the franchise should be given away to a private corporation. If the voters of that city are wise and understand themselves they will cast a unanimous vote in favor of owning the plant and controlling it themselves. Such ownership has been demonstrated in more than one instance to be advantageous, and the tendency of pubiic opinion now after years of experience is undoubedtly in this direction. The theory is that, being essentially public works, for the benefit of the public, dependant on a public franchise and the use of the public streets, they should be owned and controlled by the people in their corporate capacity. There is scarcely a city in the United States that has not literally given away franchise after franchise of great value to private corporations, thereby creating private monopolies in what should be a source of public welfare and revenue. The franchise is not only given away but, as in the case of our own water works, the city annually payB into the coffers of a private corporation from So,000 to $7,000 additional. Instead of being a source of revenue to the city it is the source of a big leak. Logansport owns its own water works and it has proved a fine investment for the city and a great saving for the people. The Journal of that city Bays it has the cheapest water rents in the United States, and a plant which can be sold at any time for almost twice its original cost and the water rents which the city would have to pay annually for fire purposes, if the plant was owned by private parties, would amount to more than sis per cent, on the cost of the system. What is true of
Logansport is true of every city that owns its own water works plant. Here tofoi cities hRve voluntarily tied their hands and surrendered themselves to be ridden over roughshod for long terms of years by giving away franchises of enormpus value, which, instead of being made a source of revenue, are made a means of public plunder and political demoralization. The whole system, whether it applies to water works, gas, electric lighting or street care, is radically wrong. The ultimate remedy lies in municipal ownership of all public works of the kind indicated and their operation in the interest of the people.
B0MK SAHITABY OBSERVATIONS. It is a conceded fact thbt Crawfordaville needs a system ef sewerage and needs it badly. A rigid sanitary inspection of the city would reveal a deplorable state of affairs, which cannot be remedied without a system of sewers. The town is dotted with dry wells or "cesspools," into which are deposited all the household waste of every character. Being sunk to the sand the pollution is distributed through the porous
Boil
to the wells and the water beoomes more or less contaminated. And the soil itself in the vicinity of these dry wells has become a seething mass of poif-on. The pablic health therefore demands that the authorities should take some steps looking to a complete system of sewerage. An ounce of prevention is better than a ponnd of cure. Before an epidemic spreads over the city and carries away the loveliest of many householdp the remedy should be applied. It is, of course, not neoessary to construct the entire system at any one time, but whatever is constructed should be in accordance with the plan of a sanitary engineer. This will make the work ac tually done conformable to a definite plan so that when additional work iB contemplated it will never be necessary to reconstruct any,,already done, with the consequent {waste of money. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Oity
Council should direct its attention to the importance of the question of a thorough and complete system of sewerage. When this is done then let us pave the streets,
TEH Indianapolis Oity Ooancil in the early hourB of thiB morning approved an ordinance granting to the new Oity Railway Company a franchise to use the streets for t&e operation of a street railway. The company agrees to pay the city for the use of the streets 10 per cent of its gross receipts for the first five years, 12£ per oent. for the second five years, 13^ per cent, for the third five years, and 14J per cent, for the remainder of the term, which is thirty years. The revenues to the city it is estimated will run from $300,000 to 8900,000 a year. Granting suoh a franchise displays sound businaM MDH.

How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, how complicated, how wonderful, is man and it might be added, how |"more so" is woman. With her peculiarly delicate and intense orgauization, she is the superlative degree of man. Even in diseases she excels him, having many that he has not. She has, however, found out a Rrund remedial agent, for the cure of her diseases, in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a medicine suited to h?r nature, made for the express cure of those diseases which affect her. It is especially effective In all weaknesses incidental to motherhood, while it's also a potent restorative tome for the feeble and debilitated generally.

HARD TRAVELING.
Thi Limited Transportation FacilltUs Northern China* It is not to be expected that men should fully appreciate comforts to which they have always been aocustomed. In America, for example, people get from one part of the country to another with so much ease and convenience that it all seems a matter of course. But if one undertakes a journey in China he is likely to set a new value upon carriages with springs and some other everyday mercies of kindred sort.
In North China, according to an English missionary, you may perhaps have your ohoice of three methods of travel. You may, if you will, take your place In a sprlngless Pekin cart, a kind of box or cage, with no seat. The passenger Is obliged to squat on the floor cross-legged, or to Bit with legs stretched out at right angles with his body, and as tho cart jolts over great stones or through the deep ruts in the road, he Is liable to be bruised blaok and blue.
If such a cart looks uninviting, you may conclude to try a mule-litter. This consists of an oblong box slung between two mules, which nefer keep step, and not infrequently quarrel, and the sw.% Ing, unsteady motion is as bad as that of a ship in a heavy squall. Or, once more, you may prefer to ride a donkey with a backbone like a razor, and probably with no saddle, and a single rope for bridle.
As for travel in southern China, some of the tribulations of it may be gathered from what the same author says of his own experience as he approached great city: "The tide was out, and we had to avail ourselves of the buffalo-carts in order to reach the ferryboat. These carts are most rickety and unstable vehicles. You sit leaning forward on the broad rail to avoid a jerk backwards. A Chinese in a cart near the one I rode in, entranced by the sight of a foreigner, ineautiously turned to gaze, and in an Instant he wa6 on his back in the mud, and was greeted with a roar of laughter from his unfeeling compatriots."

Conscience, or What?
"Conscience doth make cowards of us all." says the poet. But it is just so with the nerves. When a man's nerves are un strung, through indigestion and torpid liver and impure blood, what wonder that he feels depressed and nervous!

Lei such a man go to the drug store and get bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, tho great blood purifier and Liver Invieorator. iThis is the only blood Durifler and liver invigorator guaranteed to benflt or cure, or money will be promptly refund ed. It cures Indigestion, or Dyspepsia, and from its wonderful blood nurifying proper ties, conquers all Skin and Scalp diseases. Salt-rheum, Tetter, Eczema and kindred ailments. All blood poisons, no matter of what name or nature, yield to its remedial influences.
