SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1893.

THE Danville Commercial makes a charge of 10 cents a line for obituary poetry. Some of it" would be cheap at §1 a line.

UNDER the new South Carolina liquor law there will be but forty-six saloons in the State, one for each county. This will be tough on the out townships.

THIS is the time of year to observe great care in avoiding coughs, colds, catarrh, pnenmonia, tax assessors and other evils incident to the Spring season.

THE incorporated towns of this county will hold their elections next Monday ns usual. They were not included in McHugh's bill extending the terms of officers in cities to four years.

THE health officers of the State met yesterday at Indianapolis to discuss the problem of preventing the "spirillum" from entering the United States and to

arreBt it

should it get here. "Spirillum"

is not needed in our business. Plain old cholera is not bereft of any of its terrors clothed in a new fangled name.

IN 1860 the money in the United States amounted to $442,102,477. In 1892 wo had 82,372,599,501 in money, and every dollar as good as gold, whereas a great deal of that in circulation in 1860 was depreciated wildcat currency. During those thirty-two years the Republicans had the financial management of the government.

THE President has given out the statement that an extra session of Congress will be called to meet between September 5 and 15, not earlier. In the meantime the McKinley law, "the culminating atrocity," will continue its "robbery" of the people. Dispensing the spoils seems to be of more importance than smashing the tariff.

WHITELAW REID, in an interview at San Francisco recently, expressed the opinion that the most astonishing thing we could show the foreigners at the World's Fair would be a President elected mainly on the Tground that the people were being robbed by high tariff duties, who had taken power and ohen waited nearly a year without lifting a finger to stop the robbery. Mr. Reid's sarcasm makes the Bourbons wince, for his arrow is keen—pointed with the truth.

LEBANON Patriot: Crawfordsville hns profited by the mistake she made in granting a franchise to a private corporation for water works by putting in her own electric light plant. It now has 145 street light and by revenue derived from commercial and private lighting its* lights cost only about 830 a year. In a short time that city expects to make the private lighting pay for the public lighting and as one of its citizens remarked a few days ago, "the beauty of it is, the private lighting is furnished at reasonable rates."

THE following from the New York Independent comes close to the point and should receive the attention of all church people: "Now that revision will be taken out of the way, we presume that the general assembly at Washington will take up in earnest the question of a new creed, and that a com mission will be appointed to formulate one. On the whole we think the church is to be congratulated on the outcome. The Westminster confession is an antiquated document, expressed inantiquat ed terms. Any revision of it would be a sort of patch work. It would -be like putting new wine into old wineskins. A short new creed, expressive of the evangelical doctrines held by?the Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists and others will m9et with the wants of the churches, and the vener.'ible confession can repose in dignity and silence on the shelves."

THE sugar bounty will cost tho tax-payers in round nmnbors, lor the llseal vear, near 810.000,000.— Frankfort resent t.

While the KcKinley law placed a bounty on the sugar produced in the United States it at the same time removed the tariif which saved §60,000,000 to the people—a net gain of $50,000,000.

THE grand total of taxes of all kinds for all purposes to be collected this year in Indiana is 818,037.759.51. Who says the Democracy is not a tax?

THOUGHTS THAT BREATHE. Gen. Harrison has always been noted for saying something when he speaks to the public. A most beautiful and appropriate thought for the occasion is embodied in his little speech at Indianapolis yesterday, at the exhibition of the old Liberty Bell, now on its way to the World's Fair. He said:

This old bell was made in England, but it had to be ro-cast ill America [ent liusiasUe cheers] before it was attuned to proclaim the right of self jrovernment and the equal rights of men. And therbin it was a type of what our Institutions have been doing lor that great teeming throng of immigrants from all lands, who heard its voice over the great waters, and came here, subjects to he re east into lree American citizens,

Nearly all of our institutions were first made in Englpnd—the Common Law, the grandest structure ever erected by man, was first made in England but it has been re-enst in America and generally improved. Like the old bell, its tone is better and finer, and more in harmony with genuine human liberty and justice. Like the bell, the'material of English liberty and justice has been melted in the white heat of American discussion and re-cast into a more noble and enduring fabric. All this, as indicated by Ex-President Harrison's little speech, is typified by the old bell, the sight of which at the World's Fair, will stir the patriotic hearts of millions of lovers of liberty from all nations.

THT Review turns over John E. Lamb in a way that that gentleman will despise. It says:

It counts for little what may be the future success or dofeat of IJiookshire for Congress, it is certain that Lamb under any circumstances cannot ever be elected from this district. Tho Democracy do not like him, and they demonstrated this in 1886 when ho was defeated by 1,200 majority in this Democratic district. They will do sojagain if opporunity oilers In alike race, as Lamb has not improved with age. Socially, morally, and In many respects politically ho is abhorred by hundreds of men in his own party..and in Montgomery county alone thero aro 500 Democrats who would scratch his name at the polls.

Just why Mr. Lamb is worse socially, morally and in many respects politically than Senator VoorlieeB the Review fails to 6ay. Socially Mr. Lamb is a very clever fellow, morally, he is the superior of Voorhees, while politically he ia his equal. So, altogether, Lamb is the better man of the two. But it's not our fight.

THE beet sugar countries are: Germany, 1,210,000 tons Austria, 775,000 France, 600,000 Russia, 460,000 Belgium, 185,000 Holland, 75,000 other countries, including the United States, 97,000 tons. Total sugar for all countries named, 1892-93, 6,097,000 tons, against 6,805,^22 tons for the previous crop. If the policy of encouraging the development of the beet sugar industry rere continued it would be but a few 2 ears until the production in the United

Kites would equal Germany. The Uiited States should not be dependent on^a foreign country for a pound of sugar which her people consume.

THERE'S scarcely a cellar in the city but has been filled with water by the recent heavy and continuous rains. This fact alone makes the people more anxious for sewerage. The sentiment is almost unanimous in favor of the City Council taking some action "king to a system of drainage that wi'. carry away this surplus water and at the same time be used to dispose of the household wastes of whatever kind. The opinion is almost unanimous that the sewerage should go down before brick paving is done.

THERE promises to be the biggest kind of a suit at law at IndianapoliB over the recent street car deals. The fight will be between the old company on one side and the city and th8 new company on the other. What puzzles an outsider is that both sides seem to be well healed and each apparently knows what it wantB to do. The situation is interesting to say the least.

As John G. Shanklin has about made up his mind that the ninety per cents, are not in it in Indiana and that the ten per cents, occupy all the stools at the lunch counter, he contemplates embarking in a newspaper venture at Indianapolis. He proposes to establish an afternoon paper and to be thoroughly Democratic The venture is to have a backing of 82-10,000 capital.

IT is important that tho Morton Club should hold a meeting and select delegates to attend the national convention of Republican Leagues to be held at Louisville on May 10 and 11. That convention promises to equal in interest a national convention for the selection of a candidate for President. Montgomery county and the Eighth district should be well representee.

TIIE Terre Haute electric street car line has been sold to ah 'eastern syndicate for a half million dollars. Leslie D. Thomas, a Wabash College boy, owns a one-third interest in the line and his share in the profit of the sale after a two years' ,ownership will be over 865,0.00.

STAETING OiF RIGHT.

Frankfort has

Btarbed

on the march

for the summer with the right foot foremost. The question of sewerage and paving the streets has been under discussion for some time as it has been here. Matters began to assume proper form at the last meeting of the City Council when the following resolutions were introduced and adopted:

Ilcxolval, by the Common Council of the city ol 't rankl'ort, Indiana, that it is believed by said Common Council that a complete system of sewerage for said city is a public necessity and that proper steps should be taken at once for obtaining a plan for such co nplete system so that a part at least of the same may bo eonsiructed during the present year, and Jie it further

Hcxolvcil, That the matter of obtaining plans l'or sewerage be and tho same is hereby referred to the Committee 011 Sewerage of this council, together with the City Engineer, and they are directed to report at the next, meeting of this council the result of their action in said matter.

The above resolutions by substituting "Crawfordsville" for "Frankfort" are good enough for approval by our City Council to the dotting of the "i" and* the crossing of the "t." The Frankfort Solons recognized the fact that sewerage is the first step to be taken in a general system of public improvements. Brick paving is all right when we get readv for it and before we are ready we must enter upon a system of drainage for our wet cellars and household wastes.

IN addition to the many tin plate works now in operation five large factories are being erected at the following places: Elizabethport, New Jersey Philadelphia and New Castle, Pennsylvania Niles, Ohio, and Gas City, Indiana. The product of these mills will be two-thirds bright tin plate and onethird terne, and the output exceeding twenty thousand boxes a week, or an average of more than four thousand boxes per week each. Estimating the output for a year on the basis of fifty working weeks, the product of these mills will be one billion dollars. This is another practical illustration of the benefits of the McKinley tariff.

THE costs in the Murphy trial at Lafayette were were 81,201, and the Clark trial 81,333. There are remaining twen-ty-four indictments, eight of which are for attempted murder and conspiracy. The aggregate costs will probably amount to 830,000. liioting comes high but law breakers muBt be made to understand that they must suffer the penalty at whatever cost. In the end it may prove a to be a good investment for Tippecanoe county.

IK reciprocity is, indeed, "limited free trade," as our Democratic friends were at one time fond of asserting, the Boston Journal asks why should it be one of the first things to be picKed out for sacrifice by a tariff reform Adrainistaation?

ONE of the best arguments that could be made in favor of municipal control of street railways is the labyrinthine wrangle into which Indianapolis has been thrown over the franchise recently granted to what is familiarly known as the "unknown." Another midnight session of the City Council has been held and an ordinance was passed granting the old company the right of way through certain streets for the purpose of extending its lines. Nobody seems to know where anybody else "is at." An endless amount of litigation apparently is in sight.

STAMFORD, CONN., has about twelve miles of six-inch sewers, which have been in use for about six years. It is a flat town, and most of the sewers are laid on a slight inclination. There has never been a single stoppage in these sewers. The man-holes and inspection pipes have never been opened except from curiosity. It is the experience of the leading engineers of the country that large sewers is a mistaken policy.

FROM a gentleman who keeps a record THE JOURNAL learns that during the month of April, 1892, rain fell on seven days, and that during April, 1893, rain fell on twenty days. There were fourteen days of rain in May and ten in June of last year.

WIDTH OF PAVED STREETS. S. Whineary, President and General Manager of the Warren-Scharf Asphalt Paving Company, of Cincinnati, and widely known professionally as one of the most successful engineers in the country, contributes an article to Municipal Engineering, a magazine devoted to the improvement of cities, on the "Width of Paved Roadways in City Streets," which is worthy of careful perusal, not only by Citv Connoilmen but by property holders who must bear the burden of taxes and assessments necessary to pa\ for such improvements. Mr. Whineery takes the posi tion as a solution of the problem, how to secure well paved streets at a reasonable cost, that the width of roadway could with propriety be reduced in width. Quite extensive observation has convinced him that a roadway from eighteen to twenty-four feet wide is ample to accommodate the travel that passes over the great, majority of residence streets in American cities. There are, of course, in ever citv, a number of principal driveways whero wide raadways are necessary, but, if one will consider the matter he will be surprised at the small number of such heavily traveled streets outside of the business portion of anj given city. Paving such streets to a width of thirty-six feet he regards as a needless extravagance and a waste of money. In the case of at least four out of five of such strfeets a paved roadway of eighteen feet will be found amply sufficient to meet all requirements. He summarizes his arguments in favor of reducing the roadway with from thirty-Bix to eighteen feet, as follows: 1. Because it would reduce the cost of paving one-half. 2. The cost of cleaning or sprinkling the street is reduced one-half, or, in case it is not cleaned, there is only one-half the surface to supply the dust and dirt to be carried into the house by the wind. 3. The cost of maintenance and repairs would be greatly reduced. 4 The narrow pavement leaves a wide space on each side of the street, which after providing ample sidewalks, may be sodded with grass and planted with trees, thus greatly increasing the beauty and comfort of the street, and practically adding to the front depth of abutting lots. 5. There will be ample space between the curb and the sidewalk in which to lay all sewer, water and gas pipes, where they will be readily accessible for repairs without cutting into and disturbing the paved roadway. As thia plan contemplates placing a line of such pipes on each side of the street, it may be claimed that the cost of such pipes would be doubled. This would not be true, since not only would the pipes for the double system be smaller and cost less to lay, but the house connections would all bo materially shortened, and their cost reduced. 6. A paved roadway eighteen feet wide will allow two lines of vehicles to pass each other freely. These advantages and the great economy that would result fr-:n the adoption of the plan make it worthy of more careful consideration than it bus heretofore received. Many people \vh* habitually oppose innovations, whether they are meritorious or not, will resist the making of such narrow driveways, simplv becnui-e it i.s not tin* "^ood old way." But \f the plan is found to possess the merits HH churned allow,it iscer tain, like all meritorious things, to be adopted in the end.
