MONKS It is now about time to revive the street car talk, the canning factory scheme and stir the people generally on the question of factories. Like house-cleaning time, the annual visitation is due. Chicago is to have an 80-cent gas rate. Greencastle can beat the Windy City two to one. We have a $1.80 gas rate, with a sliding scale to $1.25. Why is it that ev erybody does not use gas here?

New 41 oiioii Scale of WaRen. All the engineers, conductors and trainmen of the Morion have consented to tlie new scale of wages which goes into effect on that road May 15. The firemen will take a vote and return an answer to General Manager McDoel at Chicago toda} - . This result was effected after a conference during the last two or three days of the grievance committees of the several departments and General Manager McDoel. The new scale leaves the wages of engineers and firemen on passenger trains untouched, but prohibits men in this service from asking for any payment for overtime work. The firemen in the local freight service are also untouched, but the eugineeis are reduced from $4.50 to $4 a day. Firemen on work and stone trains who were paid $2 a day and engineers who were getting $3.50 are cut 17$ cents and 31 cents an hour, respectively. No overtime can he computed in the local freight service until after twelve hours of work. IteniH from Our Colored Friend.. Mrs. G. T. Thurman, of Jackson, Mich., evangelist of the Michigan A. M.

Last night Mr. George K. Blake retired from the city council. In his career as an officer Mr. Blake was industrious, painstaking and progiessive and when he took hold of a measure pushed it to an end. He was indefatigable to serve the people and carries into private life the good will of his constituency. A man with Mr. Blake's care and zeal on the county’ board of commissioners would be a power lor the good of the county.

Some liberal souls do a dollar's worth of advertising in a newspaper and expect the newspaper man to do a hundred dollars’ worth of trading with them. They bait their hooks for small fry when they’ take this view of advertising. Of the men the newspaper man lias the least money to spend. The advertiser should look at money spent with a newspaper as so much capital invested from which he is to draw dividends—not from the “poor editor” but from his readers. The merchant w ho has goods lie wants to sell must let the people know : what he has and where he may be found. He can not do ibis half so quick and cheap as through a newspaper. He should treat a news-

The Tariff In the Senate. The cry for prompt action on the tariff question has again been urged in some quarters mainly by those who find themselves doing less business than formerly and who are willing to surrender the great cause and principle of protection for a possible pecuniary gain. This is wrong, entirely and utterly wrong. Should this tessellated tariff become law and go into effect next July, onlyfour months before the congressional elections, the country will be doomed to experience the evil effects of the policy of prostration for a period of nearly four years—certainly till after the great destroying angel has left the White House. There is no reason why the tessellated tariff should not be further delayed for a few months. There has hitherto been no such great desire to force it upon the people. No special session of congress was deemed necessary for its consideration. It affects the people and affects them vitally. Any effort made now to rush this measure, before the people have had an opportunity of expressing their will in November, will be a cowardly act. It affects the people. It lowers their wages. Let the [leople say if they want their wages lowered. Subscribers should insist on having a receipt from the carrier hoys for every dime paid. Receipts are given to the carriers and they are not authorized to take monev without giving a receipt. tf

COMMON COUNCIL. Out with th** Old, in with the New—Committee*, NoteM, Ktc. Last night was the last meeting of the old council and also was the first of the new. The only change was iu the second ward, where Mr. Blake retired and Mr. Perkins took his place. Mr. Blake has been one of the hardest workers in the body, and has been careful of all matters entrusted to him. He has had much experience on the city legislative body, and as chairman of several of the important committees did his duty in a good manner. He was complimented by Mayor Case, who assured the retiring member that he had the regard of the entire body. The certificates of election of Jonathan Birch, mayor; James M. Hurley, clerk ; Wm. K. Starr, marshal; John Gilmore, treasurer; Thomas Abrams, Edmund Perkins and John R. Miller, councilmen, were lead, approved and spread on record. At this point the old coun-

cil adjourned.

The bond of Major Birch as mayor was read in the sum of $3000 and approved; Mr. Birch takes his seat in September. Mayor Case announced the standing committees as follows: Finance—Miller, Perkiim, Abrams. Streets—I’erktns, Miller, Abrams. Judiciary—Miller, Bridges, Kandel. Water Works—Klley, Bridges, Kandel. IJght—Riley, Handel, Perkins. Fire Department—Bridges, Abrams, Riley. Printing—Abrams. Bridges, Miller, Claims—Abrams, Perkins. Klley. Fees and Salaries—Miller, Bridges, Abrams. The council here went into the election of officers, owing to the McHugh law, for the four-year terms. For attorney T. T. Moore received live votes and P. O. Colliver one vote; Mr. Moore elected. For city engineer Arthur Throop captured the entire six votes. For street commissioner J. D. Cutler received five votes and George Davidson one vote; Mr. Cutler elected. For chief of fire department George Cooper received five votes. The new police board was elected as follows: First ward, Abrams, 5; Kandel, 1; second ward, Perkins, 4; Bridges, 2; third ward, Riley, 4Miller, 2. This makes the board Abrams, Perkins and Riley, elected

for two years.

City Engineer Throop submitted his annual report, which was a voluminous docket, and still did not cover the ground he wanted to. It was read, and placed on file with the city clerk for reference. The following claim ordinance

was passed:
