MUNICIPAL CONTROL.

There is no doubt but that the sentiment in favor of municipal control of everything that occupies streets and alleys above or below the surface is rapidly growing all over the country. On this point the Logansport Journal makes the following observation:

The world Is gradually awakening to the fact that the extension of municipal control Is a necessity. Had Logansport been in position to construct Its gas plant It would have saved for Its citizens the cost of the entire plant by this time and would be in a position to cut rates in two. Instead of this rates haye an upward tendency and while the plant has paid for itself, private investors have reaped the benefit of it. Cities which own and operate their electric light plants get their street lights for about one-half what it costs cities buying their lights. Our water works system, the construction of which was opposed on account of the taxation created thereby, has saved the citizens In taxation for water rents and in low water rents thousands of dollars. To-dav the plant could be sold to prlyate investors for half a million of dollars. It was one of the best investments the city ever made and it illustrates the wisdom of municipal control In public enterprises.

THOSE who have hoped for cheap telephones, on account of the expiration of the Berliner patent on May 7, will be disappointed. The Bell Telephone Company was shrewd enough to have litigation instigated against itself upon this patent, and at the end of fourteen years when the matter was dropped from the courts the patent as granted to the Bell Company differed in almost every essential point from the original specifications for the Berliner model. The valuable and essential features of the Ber-liner-Graham-Bell transmitter are covered by patents extending to 1906, and even later. Proceedings to annul the Berliner patent are pending in the Supreme Court, but are so placed on the docket that there is no reasonable probability of a decision being reached until the Bell Telephone Company grows weary of being both plaintiff and defendant in the suits, and in sheer generosity concludes to allow the people a necessity at reasonable rates.

THERE are 13,077 persons on the pension list who receive cents a day. The President in his inaugural calls it a "wild and reckless pension expenditure, which overleaps the bounds of grateful recognition of patriotic service." As the President receives from the public treasury $137 a day, 63 cents doesn't look large and "reckless" for "patriotic services" of veterans. To speak mpre plainly, Mr. Cleveland, who sent a substitute into the war, receives from the government 2,149 times as much as the man who served four years in the army and left his blood and strength on the battlefield.

SOME of these days not far in the future there will be the biggest kind of a 6mash up in what are now known as national building associations and those who are investing their money in them will realize when it is too late that it will be similar to be at the tail end in a boom town. It is simply impossible for a legitimate building association to realize snch profits as are promised by these national concerns. Lookout!

SOUTH CAROLINA has anew liquor law which provides that all alcoholic drinks shall be sold only by the State after July 1. Bnrrooms are to be established in all sections of the State, and the outfits, including the stock of beverages, are to be purchased out ot a legislative appropriation for that purpose. What a fine sn«p the average Democratic politician will have! Republicans will not be in it in that State.

THE Roach case in the Senate promises to become a national issue. The Democrats are averse to an investigation both as to his defalcations while a bank cashier and the methods used in his election. It is strongly suspected that Gorman & Co. furnished the boodle to buy those Republicans who voted for him in the North Dakota Legislature.

HON. E. H. NEBEKEK'S successor as United States Treasurer, is Daniel N. Morgan, of Connecticut. He is a leading citizen of his State, socially, politically and financially. All of Mr. Cleveland's appointments are not bad ones even if Gray and Risley and Burke are not the most desirable.

IN the lottery of assassination now being conducted by Axman Maxwell, E. M. Graves yesterday drew the prize ticket for the New Ross postoffice, and C. Snyder for that of Younteville.

AN INCOME TAX.

Some of the small fry Democratic politicians and newspapers are shouting for an income tax. We had an income tax law from 1863 to 1872, yet from its presumed inquisitorial charrcter gave way before the tide of popular opinion and was repealed. Then it was a Republican measure and was adopted through the necessities of the times by reason of the war. Although it fulfilled its mission it was an unpopular form of taxation. It was most vehemently denounced by Democratic speakers and newspapers because it was unequal class legislation. It is unjust because it shifts the burden of supporting the government upon a Bmall class instead of distributing it. It is repugnant because it cannot be justly assessed and collected without inquisitorial processes. The tax can easily be evaded by unscrupulous members of income class,and consequently will fall unequally upon all who are honest and scrupulous, and besides it puts a premium upon rascality and heavily discounts integrity. If the Democracy desires an income tax let them incorporate a plank in their platfoom. The Republicans will welcome the issue.

THE next semi-annual peeting of the Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church will be held in EvanBton, 111., beginning on Wednesday, May 3. All the Bishops are expected to be present except Bishop Mallalieu, who has not yet returned from his official visit to the missions of China and Japan Bishop Newman, who has gone to visit the work in South America, and Bishop Vincent, who is soon to embark for Europe to preside over the conference there. At this meeting the Episcopal plan for the fall conferences will be formulated and announced.

THE California Legislature has passed a law of which the following is the chief section:

Kvory proprietor or publisher of any newspaper or periodical who shall willfully and knowingly misrepresent the circulation of such newspape or periodical, l'or the purpose of securing advertising or other patronage, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

The occupation of the circulation liar in that State will soon be gone. It is a good law and should find its way ictu the statutes of every State.

IT HAS been discovered that Asa Dickinson, the brother of Dan Dickinson, who was appointed from New York as Consul at Nottingham, is a Republican. It is said thut when Mr. Dickinson was accused by some New York Democrais of being of that faith he acknowledged it and said: "I have been a Republican since I860 and last year voted for Harrison." The wrath of the snappers of that State, already warm, was only intensified.

THE Chicago Tribune's definition of a Mugwump is so complete and novel it is here given. It covers the ground completely:

A Mugwump, generally speaking, is a dyspeptic Republican who travels by oasy stages to the Democratic party on a stop-over ticket and complains loudly of the hotel fare all along tlielroute.

TOM CATT is the name of a Gibson county Democrat who is in Washington watching the hole where a Republican mouBe went in and from which he will soon emerge. Joshua Jump has not yet jumped the Collectorship claim.

CAIT. D. F. ALLEN, of Frankfort, seems to have a cinch on the Pension Agency for this State as Senator Yoorhees is his out-and out champion. The renegade Republicans have the call every time.

CON CUNNINGHAM should have taken with him to Washington the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit as a pocketpiece.

Got One Thousand Dollars, Several weeks ago Charley Bernard of this city was badly hurt near Danville, 111., while braking on the railroad. He was caught between a car and a fence belonging to the Union Tank Line Company, which fence bad been allowed to run close up to the track. Mr. Bernard had a imre case for heavy damages against the Union Tank Line Company but Tuesday compromised with them for $1,000 cash.

Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional temedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the'Eustachian Tube When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars l'or any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE YOUNTSVILLE POSTOFFICE. Hon. E. Y. Brookshire will be under I the painful necessity of making some explanation in order to calm the outraged feelings of some of his constitu-1 ents in the vicinity of Younteville over 1 the appointment of Carlton Snyder as postmaster. While that is only a fourth class office yet the indignation felt by some of the Democrats down there is of a first class order. The fact that Mr. Snyder was appointed is not so much the cause of the righteous wrath as the alleged double dealing of their Congressman. Miss Jennie Sweeney, a most estimable young lady, a school teacher and a woman of refinement and charming manners, was an applicant for the position. She was highly recommended and her papers properly, filed. They were endorsed by Congressman Brookshire and two weeks ago her name appeared in the newspapers in the list of fourth class postmasters whom Mr. Brookshire had recommended for appointment. To her surprise and to the astonishment of her friends newspapers of yesterday announced the appointment of Mr. Snyder. Sensitive of her character and her good name she is highly incensed at the treatment she has received. Her friends say that the double dealing of the Congressman will leaye the impression that there were some charges of a dark lantern character hid away in that valise, and which the Congressman must explain. At any rate they want to know why be changed his mind.

IT has been thirty-two years since Ft. Sumter containing 70 men was fired upon by an army of 10,000 rebels. This was the beginning of a four years war in which there were engaged three and a half million men and the I068 of five hundred thousand lives.

IT is significant that the men who have been the loudest in proclaiming "I am a Democrat," are getting no favors from the Administration. If he will inscribe on his hat band, "I am a Renegade Republican" his chances will be improved.

ArniL 27 is General Grant's birthday, and in many places arrangements are making to properly celebrate it.

What has become of our postoffice aspirants? Republicans think Grover's plan is a model one, but the Democratic office seekers ought to just storm him with applications and petitions and make him glad to make appointments. But they Bay it is hopeless to try to make Grover do anything, as he is emphatically and diametrically opposed to being made.
