AUGUSTS, 1898.
1 DO WE ITEBD SEWERAGE. A man who gires this quettion a proper amount of thought can hardly answer except in the affirmative. The Mayor, all the councilman, the city engineer, all the health oBcera answsr in the affirmative. Every man who spends from ten to twenty-five dollars a year in attempting to keep his cellar dry answers in the affirmative. Every man who has a cees pool in his neighborhood contaminating his well or cistern answers in the affirmative. Evety man who has pools of water stagnating in his neighborhood answers in the affirmative. Every man who would prefer to pay a small aewbr tax than run even the smallest chance of losing one loved one by disease caused by defective drainage answers in the affirmative.—Journal.
To the above interogatory nine-tenths of the tax-paying citizens of Crawfordsville will emphatically answer, no. There is no healthier city in Indiana now nor ever has been than OrawfordBville, and all this cheap talk of "cess pool,*' "contaminating wells," "losing one loved one," etc., is the result of a flighty imagination or beer, it is difficult to exactly discover which. Where is any citiaen particularly suffering from a ceea pool in this town, or if so, why go to any great expense in removing it? Sewers, street cars and other conveniences are probably good things to have—if you are able to pay for tbem. Why ask the citizens to shoulder more taxes when they now have more than they can bear? We have a higher tax to pay in Crawfordsville now than before for ten or firteen years past, yet the Journal, which is fattening off of the city by the publication of numerous well padded advertisements, charging its own price for them without competition, will have the citizens to be further squeezed and op pressed by additional taxation. There is no immediate need of sewerage, and has not been for years. Let the big debt which the city now owes be paid first before any new ones are contracted THB REVIEW affirms, and we do not believe can be truthfully contradicted,that there is a job in the whole thing—this sewerage business—that somebody wants to get a market for brick, or hopes to Becure the contract for excavation. Hence the talk of sewerage. The public believe that a portion of the schem ing crowd that succeeded in fastening an $80,000 electric light debt on Crawfordsville, is the same who iB so strongly urging the construction of sewers—there wi be money in it to them if the no einent can be carried through.
WHITNEY ON THE SITUATION. The most sensible talk we have heard of from any one on the present financial and business situation is from ex-Sec-retary Whitney.in a conversation a few days ago to a correspondent of an eastern papnr. Here it is: "But I do not wish to be regarded as considering the repeal of the Sherman law a permanent cure for our national ills. I look upon repeal as a palliative, not a panacea. The currency question is not the most vital one with which we have to deal. The poison lies deeper. No temporary anodyne of financial legislation will eradicate it The silver scare will not bo long over before eomo other scare will begin, unless we go to the bottom of the trouble and get the business and industry of the country off the artificial basis upon which it is being conducted and upon solid ground again. The country's prosperity will never be permanently established while an annual tax of three or (our hundred millions is laid upon its industries.
THE PRESENT TARIFF LAW.
"No matter what disguise it may assume. our present tariff Bystem is essentially a tax upon the producing and industrial classes. The national government is supported by a tax, not upon property, but upon consumption. The tariff is assessed not upon what men own, but upon what they eat, and drink, and wear. It is too largely a per capita tax. Under it, it is easily possible that a poor man with a large family may be compelled to pay more taxes for the support of the government than an economical millionaire with only himself to keep. An average man in the middle and lower classes, making income a basis of classification, spends say 75 per cent, of his income for food and clothing. The average rich man can not spend over 5 per cent, of his income for the same purpose. National taxes being levied as they are, the general
masB
of
the people, the producing and indus trial classes and the great body of merchants, tradesmen and professional men, pay fifteen times as much tax in proportion to their means as the rich man. There lies the secret of national distress."
IF Cleveland is wine he will carefully avoid all talk about a substitute for the Therman law in his forthcoming message. —Journal.
Just spare a few moments from the rush of business and write this information to him.
10 SEASONABLE CAUSE. There can be no reasonable cause for the present depressed feeling' in business circles through the Country, the -stringency prevailing in the mmey"?tnatket andtheair of doubt and uncertainty that at this time prevails. The country in every respect is as prosperous as it has-been for twenty years or more past, cra^a bfall kinds are represented as indicating favorable retarns, the health taking the country over is very good, there being no prevailing epidemic of fatal disease in any portion of the continent. There is, therefore, no reasons ble foundation on which to build an era of stagnation and "hard times." The fanaticism of the people is causing it all. They fear each other in financial matters, and there is a prevailing want of confidence, although no eubstantial cause for it now any more than a year ago. Distrust spreads, money cannot be negotiated and loans cannot be paid. There muet be an end to this and the people trust that it is near. We hope the present, flurry will develop some wise financial heads, who can by their suggestions, actions and skill relieve this country of the dark monetary cloud that seems to be settling upon it. The President, we believe, is honestly, sincerely and courageously laboring in the interests of the people—not for a clique orclass— but for th«t best interests of the country. Congress convenes soon. It mtfot recognize at once the necessity for prompt action, and its time should not be frittered away in useless contention, und it is hoped will not be. li cad by prompt and wisn action very soon create a better filing und restore confidence, mid on the oi'«cr hand bv useless wrangle prolong a return of confidence for years to come.

Of course such men can see nothing good in the work of political opponents It. is certainly immaterial whether they should or should not. The sooner the Elkins' style of public men disappear from putlie view the better.
A SANITAfiY SUfiVEY.
Mr. Charles C. Brown, from soirewhere, is trying to get a job off of the city in the way of sanitary surveying, and addressed the city council last week on the subject. We don't know who sent for Mr. Brown, but there is no more use for his survey than there is for a fifth wheel of a wagon We don't need it at all. Crawfordsville is as healthy now as it has ever been, and don't need surveys nor sewers. Mr. we understand only wants $1,200 for his survey, and al though by promising to divide with somebody a portion of his earnings may Becure the work of some councilman to get the city to order the work, he can find few others favoring it, No, Mr. Brown. Crawfordsville has an 180,000 electric light debt placed upon it by a republican city council two years ago, and should pay off that before contract ing any thing new. Move on, Mr. Brown.
The records show the other banks of this city to be exceedingly strong— stronger, indeed, than the banks of any other city of the country.—Indianapolis News.
This sounds very much like a man who whistles in going through a grave yard to keep his courage up. The records we believe, will show that within twen-ty-five years past there have been aB many as ton or twelve bank failures in Indianapolis, many of whioh have been very damaging and wide spread in effect, two of which occurred last week. This for a city of the size of Indianapolis is certainly quite enough, and should be an incentive to the News to do less boasting about the "strength and solidi ty" of banking institutions at the capital
EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON is indulging in criticism of the present administration and "the want of confidence," he asserts which the people have in it. The finest display of "want of confidence" was shown last November in him, when old reliable republican states like Wisconsin, Illinois and others, voted against his further retention of power and relegated him to private life where he will probably remain during the remainder of his existence.
HOUSTON, of Connersvil le, an original Harrison man, but who on the second race of Benny was not particularly proud of it, has, to be in tho fashion, been compelled to make an assignment of all his property to the amount of near 8500,000, for the benefit of his creditors He should have given more heed to Harrison's lectures on "finance," since the close of his administration and he might have fared better.
THB biggest bank failure yet recorded is that of tfcs Firs and Murine Bank, of Milwa^jciie, Wfecoasin, last week. Its liabilities ar* over $7,000,000, but its issetifkre placed lit over $8,000,000. Oae of tb* stratege thing* to- be noticed about most of the nunefoua failures this summer is that very generally the assets largely exceed the indebtedness, and ista ttoti indicatiea that creditors, with a careful aaaigaee to manage, will lose nothing.
Oxs Qadfge 'f. S u/eiy, of thla sftite: has refused to receive a pension grehtsd him because he has now no disability, and is able to earn a living. Unless ef a very self-willed disposition it is quite likely before coming to this conclusion that the leading republican politicians of his locality overlooked him.
EVCHT item of the McKinley tariff law is in. full force and effect, and yet the prosperous times that were to result from protection of American industries seem as far off as they were years ago. Such are the results of republican legislation in favor of classes, but not of the

Tke New Great Sonth Amerioan Kidney dure,. The acknowledged superior cure and immediate relief for all derangements, painfulneas and decay of the kidneys or bladder, Bright'B disease, diabetes or any complaint that hurts or despoils either of these delicate organs. This new remedy has been'thoroaghly, tested by leaned' physicians and found tar suoerior to any medicine yet discoverad for quickly relieving all weaknesses, aches, pains and distresses arising from diseases of any part of the urinary passages. It is a great relief for the old, middle aged and children, male or female. It relieves at once rt tention and pain in passing water, and it is very effective in relieving prostratic troubles in the old, and for nightly iucominence of water in children, or others, caused by weakness of the bladder it may be worth to many a hundred times its cost. This ia a remedy of great value to ladies, because they are very liable to weakness and pains peculinr to their X.
