•We call attention to the communication in another column regarding the peweragc question. The subject is treated in a forcible manner, and we are sure reflects the sentiments of nine-tenths of the thinking people of the city.

The effect of technicalities in the courts is becoming a matter of general interest and the universal denunciation of their interposition may rfesult in a wholesome change in the laws. The Indianapolis Journal which has led in the fight says in introducing a long editorial: "The discontent naturally arising from the disposition of suits at law upon mere technical quibbles, instead of upon the merits of the controversy, is receiving almost universal attention. Not only is this discontent made manifest through the lay press, but the cause of it is being discussed in the law magazines aB well."

THE CABDINAL'S JUBILEE. The impressive ceremonies with which was celebrated the close of fifty years of Cardinal McCloskey's priestly life invite our attention to the yenerawhosMensporal position is far above even the dreams of the Beophyte who, fifty years ago, a feeble, sickly youth entered upon the most i#elf*abnegatoTy of offices, that of a Catholic prieBt in a Protestant community. As we speak of him, it is easy for the most emphatic sectarian to say -with. Dr. South, "He that is a good xnan is three-quarters of the way toward the being a good Christian, wheresoever he lives or whatsoever he is Called." The great gathering in the magnificent cathedral of New York, eight days ago, with all its pomp of swelling music, gorgeous vestments, imposing ritual and processions, with the throng of mitred bishops and sacred dignitaries, was a summary of the growth not only ot the American hierarchy, but of the country, too. Here in New York fifty years ago a single bishop and a couple of priests had celebrated the ordination of a humble prieBt in a modest church. To-lay, in the finest religious edifice in America, are assembled thousands who include the wealthy and the famous. The church is crowded with prelates, officers and choristers whose robes of cloth of gold and bright-hued materials rival the beams falling through the stained glass, windows and the plainer garb of Franciscans, Dominicans, Cajtuchins and Jesuits shows the presence of orders representing a vast influence among millions of people. Masses sung by perfect voices and triumphal music from strand organs and all the shimmer of gold, scarlet, purple and white make a bouquet of color and sound that surely was a wonderful expansion of the colorless little seed planted long ago. So too the wealth and power gathered in that church was a gr.iat contrast to the poverty and weakness of some little church whose bell tinkled in the clearings of the early settlers. In the midst of the rich display, clad in the scarlet robes of a prince of the Catholic church, was a very feeble, time-worn old man, and it is pleasant to note that his words showed the humility which his church, whatever its pomp of ceremonial form, seems to teach—teaches as^if "wisdom is oft-times nearer when we stoop than when we soar." There were tears in the eyes of the cardinal, smiles and congratulations by all the exultant multitude. The one looked back over his long, laborious life from this haven, the other saw but the vast cathedral and bright chancel, the type of a great success- In these times when so many active minds of this thinking, inquiring generation examine every phase of belief from the unquestioning faith of those who kissed the cardinal's ring to that of him who thinks himself "Slave to no sect, who takes no private But look's through Nature uplto Nature's

there is 'more readiness to credit the good that is in every belief than to overlook the weakness or error to be found in all. Few will dispute Burke dictum, "We know, and what is better, we feel inwardly, that religion is the basis of civil society, and the source of all good and of all comfort. In England we are so convinced of this, that theit ia no rust of superstition with which the accumulated absurdity of the human mini! mi'.rlit have crusted it over in the course oi ages, that ninetynine in a hundred would not prefer to impiety." It is not easy to estimate the power for civil order that hag been exercised by the rulers of the Catholic dioceBe of New York containing

and constant influx from every grade of society. With hundreds of thousands it would be tbe Romish church or none. Perhaps it shonld have been said the power for good by the church, instead of by the rulers, but in the astute bishops,

Hughes and his successor, we see the controlling genius. Their personal influence, exerted through the great church enterprises so thoroughly held in hand, is beneficial, and the jubilee which glorified Cardinal McCloskey appropriately celebrated a powerful element in the maintenance of our civil order and peaceful institutions.

City Sowers.

To the Editor of tbe Express. Bib: It seems to me tbat the discussion of the location of the Sixth ward sewer alone, that we have this week been favored with Is entirely out of place. If the city baa a well devised system of sewers, the location of the sewer as determined upon In the plan of.-that system cannot be changed without injury to the system as a whole, and most probablv to the sewer under discussion. If the city sewerage has not a definite plan, and the best that win be devised, it is not tbe separate parts of the system that need discussion, but the system as a whole, and the parts of thesystem in their relation to the whole. Terre Haute Is far ahead of any other city in the state, and of nine-tenths of the cities in the country if Bhe has such a plan, and is to be congratulated if such is the case. But from some of the statements of tbe different persons who have discussed the question, and from the nature of the plans for the Sixth ward sewer, In particular, I should say that the city had no definite plan for its system of sewerage, but was constructing its sewers on the "hand to mouth" principle, putting In a sewer here and another there as tbey seem to be needed at the time. Tbat is unfortunately tbe plan ofjalmost every one of the smaller cities in the country, and more money Is wasted In that way than In any other (department of the municipal economy.. For sooner or later the city becomes of such a size and grows In such unexpected directions that it finds Its ayatem of sewers entirely inadequate to Its needs, and the plan so defective that It Is Impossible to Improve tbe system by simply enlarging the existing sowers, bat the entire system must he reconstructed, at an enormous expense, and the old system almost entirely thrown •way.

This experience has been repeated so aiten that there can be no doubt that the most economical procedure for any city Or town, no matter how small, is to provide a plan at the start upon which all future works of drainage and water supply shall be constructed.

The first requisite In such case Is an accurate topographical survey of the city and so much of the surrounding country as affects or Is affected by the drainage of the oity, with as much reference to the future growth of the city as Is practicable.

A study of such a map of the city will develop one or more systems of sewerage which would be applicable to the ground, from which the best system can usually be easily determined. And a perfect system cannot be devised In any other manner, unless, perhaps, by a most expert sanitary engineer, who is thoroughly acquainted with the ground. Such experts with such knowledge are unfortunately rare, and are expensive when found.

The map may put the case In such a light that it can be treated succesfully by home taleat, and In any oase Will show the special difficulties In the ground so that any one can see them, and may demonstrate the necessity of a specialist to treat the subject properly. I think It will demonstrate suoh a necessity. The subject Is a most difficult one, which has been successfully treated by not half a dozen specialists, who have spent their whole lives upon it, and it is not to be expected that the city can afford to keep such a specialist continually In Its employ, or thata civil englneerln the ordinary practice of bis profession can attain theknowledge upon the special subject, of the man who has spent his whole life upon it.

There are oertain'general principles applicable to the sewerage of all towns that are too often neglected, (some of them In the treatment of this city), such as the following: The outfall of the district should be the point first determined upon, the-material drainage of the district should bo determined, and the system should be laid out with these two points always in view. It is evident to any one that other things being equal the shortest course for a system Is the best as well as the cheapest, and that this rule should be diverted from as little as possible, never to the extent of carrying sewerage or draliige three or (our miles out of Its way, as is attempted sometimes under a mistaken idea of economy. The water supply of a town has some effect upon the plan for sewerage, as well as the rainfall, geological character of the district, the number of Inhabitants, present and prospective, and many similar Items.

The drainage system of the city of Indianapolis Is an example more or less complete, of the wrong way of treating the subject. Some years ago a partial system was laid out upon a plan which has been proved quite incomplete, its Incompleteness and non-adaptability to the work required being shown more conclusively as each year adds new burdens to the already fully-laden sewers. The surface drainage, disposal of the rainfall, is especially defective, and in lnany cases quite contrary to common sense. The annual trouble with Pogue's Run is a sufficient commentary ou the Inability of the system to cope with a difficulty which should have been overcome lu the original plan. The last report of the olty engineer, abstracts of which appear In last week'b and this week's Indianapolis papers, gives the defects of the system somewhat In detail, and a partial remedy for them. It promises to be but a question of time wnen the Bystem will have to be reconstructed, at enormous expense.

In contrast with that city Is Detroit, whose sewerage system has been laid out by a plan well worked out in almost all its details, and requiring no "tinkering" and simple additions as the city extends, at a minimum cost..

To sum up, the city needs,— 1. A map of the city and its surroundings, complete, with numerous and well distributed levels, and full details of the natural drainage of the district, and full Information on all other points bearing on the subject. 2. A full and complete plan for all sewerage, drainage, aud water-supply, as nearly perfect as it is possible to be made, and sufficiently comprehensive for all future needs of the city, under which ail future cohstructlon shall be made. The preparation of this plan may or may not require the employment of a sanitary expert, but probably will require sveh a one. 3. No tinkering with the plan when ooce adopted.

Buch a course of procedure has time and again been demonstrated as the most economical In the long run, making the cost many times less, with many times better sanitation, and the first cost of such works if the plan Is adopted sufficiently early, Is so little more that the excess of cost is repaid over and over again within ten or fifteen years.

Modern Improvements.

Chicago Herald. 4 Nobody haa been killed in a Virginia duel In twenty years. Each year the legislature ia compelled to pass an amnesty act relieving offenders of their political disqualifications. Sometimes there is opposition, but it never yet has been forcible enough to defeat the bill. The men who "fight," aa ltis so called, have everything their own way. They are not killed neither are they disfranchised. They have satisfaction. They convince their adversaries and the public generally of their valor, and the state looks benlgnantly upon them, and restores to them their citizenship. This is certainly a grear improvement over the old system, which invariable called for blood.

True Words.

New York Graphic. When business becomes so absorbing as to result in insomnia It is time to stop business or business may stop you. No sleep, no brain no sleep, no vigor. Sleep means a filling up of the body and brain with new strength. Sleep Is food as much as bread. There la a time to atop turning a subject over and over again until it gains complete possession of you, and you turn and toss and can'tjlie still out of very weariness. That Is one of the initiatory steps,,to the mad house. Sleep is money. Sound nights' rests will give you a clearer head for scheming, planning and getting the best of your fellowman. It is money in a man's pocket to be able to switch the mind off from business topics at will and play at something else.

Lesion for January 2Otfc—Subject: The Power of the Tongue—James ill., 1.18.

The lesson seems to have been designed especially for those who were desirous of becoming teachers, or who had arrogated to themselves the office of preachers or governors in the congregation. Those Jewish,Christians who sought to dominate consciences of the -gentile couverte, in tho ohurch at Antioch, with their Jewish rites were probably still pursuing their course and disturbing the peace of the church by their dictatoral dogmatizing, and this gave the apostle James an opportunity to admonish them and give a general warning to all Christians to guard the tongue. This little member in man may be a great power for either good or evil for it is the one by which we communicate ourselves to others. What we see or hear helps or harms ourselves only. What we do with-,. our hands builds or destroys only the perishableand mortal. But the tongue touches the immortal it hurts the mind and soul, not the body. It builds for all time and what it tears down cannot be replaced. The tongue is a wild member aud the apostle wisely suggests that it need be bridled that, it be held in check so that it will not

and hope and with the patriotic fire of a Sheridan to give it emphasis, it checked a retreat, turned the tide of battle, and saved a great army. And these are only examples of the many historic incidents which show the power of the tongue for good. Words are of even more power for good than deeds. Deeds die, but words are immortal. The loaf given is soon eaten, but the kind words which accompanied it are cherished in the memory, and live on, giving hope and strength and courage to the discouraged recipient.

But the tongue may also be as good a power for evil. All its elements of strength make it so if there is an evil heart to control it. It is like a firebrand amid combustibles, and a single hot word may set a company of men in a passion which will not be quenched until riot and bloodshed ensue.

It was by words telling the story of trials and deeds of valor that Othello won Desdemona's love, and it was by the cruel, insinuating words of Iago that thin great love was turned into suspicion and murderous jealousy, and prompted a great crime. Evil words, like those for good, cannot be recalled. Once spoken, they go on burning their -way into the souls of men and poisoning their lives. The salacious story starts a train of thoughts which leads to mischief the cruel jest sticks like a burin the mind the slander once started cannot be stopped, and the judgments of courts ana awards of damages will not eradicate the foul suspicions which have been started. The falsehood may by publicly proven or were retracted in the most public mannert and yet neither will clear away suspicions.

Then the tongue oeing the most powerful member of the body, it is the gauge of character. A fountain cannot at the same time give, both bitter and sweet water, ana neither can a gracious heart send forth praises and blasphemies from the tongue. The tongue that sings praises and speaks smooth and soft words in the house of God, and brutish and bitter in the home or lying words in the businesB office and store, is the tongue of a hypocrite and deceiver.

in his heart." Jeremy Taylor said it was in the use of the tongue that God distinguished ns from beasts. A story is told of a poor, ignorant man, who came to a learned teacher, who began to tea th him the thirty-ninth Psalm— "I said I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue." Having passed this first verse the poor man shut the book and took bis leave, saying he would. go and learn that point before he went any further in the lesson. When he had absented himself for three months it was asked when he would go forward, and he answered that he had not yet learned the old lesson and he gave this same answer forty-nine years afterward. It is said that Xanthus, expecting some friends to dine with him, ordered his servant iEsopto provide the best thingB the market could supply. Course after course was served, each consisting of tongue. "Did I not order you, said Xanthus, in a violent passion, "to buy the best victuals the market afforded?" "And have I not obeyed your orders?" jaid ^Esop. "Is there anything better than a tongue Is not the tongue the bond of civil society, the organ of truth and reason, and the instrument of our praise and adoration of the gods?" Xanthus ordered him to go again on the morrow and buy the worse things he could find. jEsop went, and he again purchased tongues, which were carved as before. "What! tongues again?" exclaimed Xanthus. "Most certainly," exclaimed JEsop "the tongue is surely the worst thing in the world. It is the instrument of all strife and contention, the invention of law suite and the source of division and wars it is the organ of error, of lies, calumny and blasphemies."

"The wholesale oyster dealers at the foot ol Tenth street, on the North River," Baid a Fulton Market dealer yesterday, "have raised the price of oysters a dollar a thousand for both culls and boxes. These are terms we use in the trade to designate stewing and frying oysters. The public fancy this rise is due entirely to the devasta tion caused by the Bea along the south side of Long Island. The floating ice that lines the shore picked up the oysters in the beds and tremendous tide rolled all the ice inland and heaped it up, oysters and all, on the meadows. I waa told that $100,000 would not cover the damage to the oyster bedu. Aa each acre of two-year-old oysters is worth about $1,000, this would imply the destruction along the coast of 100 acres. But so much of this estimated loss is conjectured that I hardly think the oyster dealers acted entirely upon that. The consumption of oysters is enormous and the supply is large, but every once in a while it happens that the consumption increases abnormally, or the supply shrinks from some cause. Then it is discovered that oysters are short, and the price goea up with the wholesale dealers. But it would have no appreciable effect upon the retail price. We are middle men, and we Lave made no change, though, as said, the wholesale men have aone so. "Seed oysters are planted in the early spring, and the two-year-olds are gathered in from September to April Therefore the wholesalers, as a matter of course, stiffen their pricesgradually throughout the season, but this never makes any difference to the consumer. To increase the retail price with so vast an oyster consumption as exists in New York would raise a perfect howl of anguish, as nothing would be considered as a valid excuse save the wholesale destruction of oyBter beds in many localities. We have only received news from the south side of Long Island, and do not know that there has been any general destruction in other quarters."

Would Gowns Help Them. New York World. It is a rather singular coincidence that on the identical day that David Dudley Field, the corporation lawyer, rose up in the court ef Appealsat Albany and besought the judges, in the most eloquent manner, to don black gowns, in imitation of the English judges, a prominent attorney was in Albany announcing that a movement was on foot in the State Bar Association to prefer charges against at least five judges of the New York Supreme court. These representatives of justice are accused of favoritism in the matter of dispensing judicial patronage. Would gowns nave the effect of making these judges more honorable and circumspect Would gowns add to the dignity and honor of these judges.

St Co.. Gentlemen:

Last winter I was troubled with a most uncomfortable itching humor affecting more especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night, and burned so intensely, that I oould scarcely bear any clothing over them. I was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough appetite was poor, and my system a gooi deal run down. Knowing the value of Ayhb's SAB8APABH.&A, by observation of many other .cases, and from personal use in former years. I began taking it for th« above-named disorders. My appetite improved almost from the first dose. After a short time the fever and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough were also oured by the same means, and my general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute these results to the use of the Sabsapabilla, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all, lees than two bottles.
