Uncle Sam is All Right.
The president issued a patriotic mes-
sage upon the financial situation and
gave good counsel to the misguided
factions of his party, whom he cannot
hope to control. While there may
have been a necessity for the message
there is no occasion for alarm among
the people, says the Norwich Bulle-
tin. “Uncle Sam will not make an
assignment this year. He may wear
short trousers and look cadavercus, but
his trade mark bears the motto: “One-
' hundred-cents~on-a~dollar.” The “wild
team” embarrasses him and the money-
changers are fooling with his treasury,
but his backbone is still rigid and his
credit can stand all ballastic tests.

First Principles.
The water supply problem keeps bob-
bing up with a persistence that should
tell our people that this question should
be Settled once for all. To say that the
fathers of our water works were not
farseeing enough does not cure the
evil, and we of this generation, while
we may not be wiser, have at least had
some experience which should teach us
how to remedy this difficulty. It is the
consensus of engineers and experienced
men that the gravity system wherever
practicable is the best because it is
reliable and least expensive to main-
tain. The first cost of wells and pump-
ing works may be less, but they are
uncertain as to supply and costly to
maintain. If we are to have an abun-
dant supply we must first have sufficient
piping facilities, and second, ample res-
ervoir capacity. That we can have
these admits of no doubt and any
makeshifts: or schemes to “tide over”
the present difficulty should be dis-
carded. If, however, the city is wise it
will complete its arrangements for the
proposed reservoir site in New York
state and hold it for any future needs
that may arise, and who is so wise as
to predict that we may not need it
some time? The commissioners, how-
ever, should go back to first principles
and avail themselves of the superb ad-
vantages of the so called “Daniels’
site” which is, and always has been,
conceded to be of the best. This site
is in Connecticut ami can be protected
by Connecticut laws, and a reservoir
constructed at, that point could be con-
nected with existing piping giving us a
direct supply with sufficient pressure to
supply the highest point in the city.
The value and availibility of this site
has always been admitted and had it
been utilized our water famines would
never have occurred and the thousands
of dollars spent in “doctoring” would
have been saved. When this site is
utilized we shall get back to first prin-
ciples and will have a supply that will
be ample and reliable. Will our citi-
zens get back to first principles, or Will
they continue to “doctor” as of yore ?
We shall see whether wisdom is justi-
fied of her children.
.
Standing by the Schools.
The National League for the Pro-
tection of American Institutions in
undertaking to promote legislation for
a biennial school census of the State of
New York is laboring in a good cause,
and great advantage would undoubted-
ly accrue from the success of its efi'orts.
In fact, the proposed legislation is
worthy of adoption throughout the
country. In no other way, it is claim-
ed, can the public schdol authorities be
kept thoroughly posted as to the ade-
quacy of school accommodations and
the facts essential to the maintenance
of the school system on its proper
foundation. V
It is one of the greatest evils of the
times, so far as the interests of the
children of school age are concerned,
that notwithstanding the millions of
dollars expended in their behalf. thous-
ands upon thousands of them, in most
of our larger cities are still debarred
from educational facilities, 'neglected
by the state, idle by force of necessity,
and by reason of their unwholesome
environments growing up to vicious
habits arid furnishing recruits for the
criminal classes. Compulsory school
laws are of no avail where there are no
. school houses, and where there is no
actual or reliable knowledge of the
number of pupils to be provided for,
the number of school buildings will
almost invariably fall short of the ever-
inultiplying demand.
Hence the movement now in progress
to which many of the most prominent
and influential citizens of the metrop-
olis are giving their earnest co opera-
tion. Abiennial census of the school
children of all towns having a popula-
tion of over 10,000 would involve con-
siderable expense, if taken in the ‘way
.itshould be, but in view of the benefits
to be derived from it, afi‘ecting thewell-
are of society for all time to come,
the question of cost should hardly fig-
ure as an element of objection.

A Man Everybody Knows Tells of His Wonderful
Cure by Dr. Greene’s Nervura. The Strongest
Cure You.
Evidence Possible That This Great Medicine Will
DEPUTY MARSHAL, A. B. WOOD.
When such a widelv-knowo public
man as A. B. Wood, Deputy Marshal
of West Indianapolis, Ind., makes a
statement, the norld knows that it is
true—that he means every word of it.
Mr. Wood resides at 91 Marion Ave,
West Indianapolis, Ind. He has been
cured by the great medicine, Dr.
Greene’s Nervura- blood and nerve rem-
edy, from utt'er nervous prostration
and exhaustion. He deems the cure
most wonderful, and the medicine which
cured him a most wonderful remedy.
He is anxious, therefore. to tell the
world'of his remarkable restoration to
health, and to thus lead others to health
by the use of the same grand remedy.
“I had been troubled," said Mr.
Wood, “for twenty years with nervous-
ness, heart disease and gastric catarrh
of the stomach, ending two years ago
with a complete prostration, and was
taken to my bed.
"I was under the care of two eminent
physicians. Finally through a friend
I was induced to try Dr. Greene’s Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. -
“After taking one bottle I began to
improve, and after using three bottles,
my usual health was restored. I can
now eat anything set before me. I
have gained 30 pounds in flesh, now
weighing 165 pounds.
“My wife is similarly diseased and is
now taking Dr. (lieune’s Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. so iar With beneficial
results. ....';.:
“Thus knowing by persona experi-
ence the gieut value of this grand med-
icine, I write this that others, who
have similar troubles. may be induced
to try Ilr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerVe remedy and Do cured.” ‘_
People who are sick or ailing iniany

(leluv a moment longer to use this,
without doubt, greatest medical dis-
cov..—ry ever made. Even if you have
been disappointed beCause other medi-
cines failed, we promise {his remedy
will ours.
It is not a patent medicine, but the
prescription of the most successful liv
ing specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35
West 14th St, New York City. He has
the largest practice in the world, and
this grand medical discovery is the re-
sult of his vast experience. The great
reputation of Dr. Greene is a gueran-
tee that his medicine will cure, and the
fact that he can be consulted by any-
one at any time, free of charge, per-
-sonally or by letter, gives absolute
assurance of the beneficial action of
this wonderful medicme.
:Cotton Mills Moving South.
The tendency on the part of the own-
ers of New England cotton mills to
remove thoSe properties to the South
is both logical and beneficient. The
present arrangement is essentially arti-
ficial. It originated in the sectional
prejudices growing out of the institu-
tion of slavery, and was maintained by
the disorders that followed the war as
features of :thel era of "reconstruction.
Sectional preJudices, however, are
now disappearing. They keep their
place onlv in the repertory. of noisy
demagogues and pestifero'us agitators.
The tumult of reconstruction, too,- has
subsided, and the restoration of the
governing power to the intelligent,
responsible, and tax-paying classes has
reclaimed the South to orderand civi-
lization. There is no longer any
reason why the logic of commerce
should be ignored, and, consequently,
the readjustment .o which we refer has
been inaugurated. ,’ f T
Under normal conditions, there is,
of course, no comparison between New
England and the Southern States as
domiciles for the cotton manufacturing
industry. The mere difference in
freights would of itself turn the scale.
But there are other differences. Labor
is cheaper, living is cheaper, coal is
cheaper, and land is cheaper in the
cotton belt than in Massachusetts or
Connecticut. Throughout the ‘cotton
belt the climate is singularly mild,
and, with a, reasonable display of care,
one can be perfectly healthy as well as
perfectly comfortable at all seasons.
There are very few days when fires
within doors are necessary. Life in
the open air is possible from one year’s
end to the other. Moreover—and la
very important consideration it is—the
atmospheric conditions of the far‘South
are normally what mill-owners have to
produce by artificial means and at no
insignificant expense. _' '
As for labor, the negroes are the best,
the most docile, and the most conser-
vative working population to be found
upon the continent. As, a. class they
have no sympathy with the incendiary
teachings of the‘ Masts and Schwabs,‘
I
and furnish no material for the social
revolution. They are essentially pas.
torial in their inclinations, have a pro-
found respect for society, andia sincere
attachment to the institutions under
which they find freedom and protect-
ion. Whether they can be educated to
become expert artizans is an open
question. We think they can. Under
slavery they were excellent masons,
carpenters, coopers, bridge-builders,
machinests and engineers. They made
admirable cooks, they acquired musical
accomplishments very readily, and, in
general, exhibited a very high order of
adaptability and skill. We do not
doubt that with encouragement and op-
portunity, they will raise to thequ
measure of the situation now develop-
ing for them, and we are certain that
nowhere in the” world can employers
find more faithful,‘ more conservative,
and more law-abiding employee than
the negroes of the agricultural districts
of the south. -

AGITATQI: BURNS.
THE GREATEST OF ENGLISH LABOR
LEADERS.
From Prison to Parliament. The Ac-
knowledgements of a Self-Made Man.
His Indomitable Perseverence and Un-
tiring Energy.
Mr. John Burns is probably the most
amazing man in all London. Ten years
ago he was regarded as a dangerous agi.
tater and demagogue and was prosecuted
and imprisoned for sedition and riot,
and was a man without recognition
among men of standing or influence
among the working people.
Tooday Burns is the uiicrowned king
of the London working populace, a mem<
ber of Parliament and of the London
County Council, hobnobs with the states-
men and leading men of Great Britain,
and is one of the most influential men in
England. His achievements are solely
the result of his indomitable perseverance
and his tireless energy. In the strictest
sense of the word, he is a self-made man,
and, for that matter, self-educated.
Burns comes of Scotch blood, but was
born in Battersea, London. Before he
became known he worked as an engineer
in aBattersea factory for 305;. a. week.
At night he used to read works on So-
cialism, the French Revolution, and the
like. Then he began to harangue the
street crowds of London every Sunday.
He was always conspicuous when any
strikes occurred and was almost the
most fiery and incendiary of the labor
orators.
In 1885 he had become well known
enough to stand for Parliament. An-
drew Carnegie was among the contribu-
tors to his campaign fund. He was de-
feated, however, and the next year was
arrested for his bitter and seditious
speeches during the \Vest End riots, in
which $50,000 worth of property was de‘
stroyed in an hour. The jury disagreed,
JOHN BURNS.
however. and Burns got off. He was
again arrested in a month or so for of-
‘ fering to “dynamite Balfour to heaven.”
Balfour was then Chief Secretary for
Ireland. The evidence against Burns
was insufficient and lie was acquitted.
In the Trafalgar Square riots of 1887
Burns was a conspicuous leader and was
sent to prison for three months for incit-
ing to riot. Nothing could close his
mouth, however, and he kept ‘on speaking
and haranguing the street crowds until
he became one of the best known men of
London.
\Vheu the new London County Council
was organized Burns was elected a. mem-
ber from Battersea. His industry in this
capacity was something prodigious. In
three years he attended six hundred
council meetings, and, besides that, was
busy all day looking after the improve
ments and reforms which he succeeded in
putting through.
It is due to Burns that his district 0;
Battersea has become the model residen
tial district for the working people of
London. He has filled it with parks and
given it clean streets and sanitary condi-
,ions and improved it in every way. He

he works of London. and abolished con-
tracting and subleting, and had passed a
number of laws protecting workingmen,
giving them better conditions under
which to work and improving their con-
dition generally.
He lives in an exceedingly modest way
in Battersea, where he and his wife, who
is almost as gifted as himself, occupy a.
couple of rooms in a little row of brick
houses.
He has a fine library, which lie laugh-
ingly says mostly represents the days he
has gone hungry. That is to say, he used
to go without his dinner in order to get
money to buy the books he wanted.
And so he once remarked that such
and such a. book represented a pair of
boots, another a hat that he needed, and
so on down thelist—
Proposed for Burglars.
An embarrassing surprise awaits any:
unwary bank robber who may drop in any
of the banks of Russell, Kan. There
have been several daring hold-ups of
cashiers in that neighborhood lately, and
the citizens have clubbed together to
protect their wealth on deposit in the
local banks. The floor of each bank is
studded with electric push buttons, any
one of which will set a score or more
gongs a-ringing on the streets and in
public places, and a double-barelled shot,
gun has been placed in a handy spot in
every prominent store. Should a would«
be robber poke a gun in at the cash win».
dow the cashier will simply put up his
hands, step on _ the button, and the citi—
zens will do the rest.

These boots 'have a long pointed flap in
front, which is made for this purpose,
and which is very much like a snug box,
into which the baby can be tightly and
cosily squeezed.
“Doesn’t his mother’s skirts smother
him?” His mother wears skirts so very

skirts at all. And she wears them Well

AN ESKIMO BABY.
The Eskimo children are born into the
most peaceful, the most orderly, if not
the most luxuriantly comfortable com:
munity on earth. The Eskimos have no
magistrates. They have no laws. Yet
they maintain among themselves an ideal
good order. Perhaps they find the fierce
and constant war that they needs must
wage against the elements too exhausting
to admit of their voluntarily waging war
among themselves. At all events, a quar-
rel among Eskimos is almost unknown,
and when it does occur innever goes
further than a. difference of opinion,
which the disputants settle by separ-
ating.
If two members of an Eskimo family
do not pull together comfortably, they
separate, quietly and definitely. If. two
sections of an Eskimo tribe ‘fall out, one
section moves a few miles away. That
is the way in which every Eskimo quar-
rel terminates. Evcn the children play
together peacefully, and never quarrel
among themselves; doubtless because
they never see aught that approaches
quarrelsomeness among their elders. As
soon as an Eskimo baby is born it is
sewn into innumerable layers of warm
clothing. .

Mrs. Grannis of Twenty—second street,
who is going to reform the low bodices of
fashionable women, is still opposed to
Lady Henry Somerset, who is going to
reform the living pictures. The whole
Grannis crusade recalls the extraordinary
amount of energy which was wasted for
upward of half a century on the question
of corsets for women. The crusade was
carried on with a. degree of vigor not even
approached by the present attack on low
evening gowns, and yet to-day girls of
twelve or fourteen years wear corsets, and
women do not even discuss the question
of their propriety. Lady Henry. who is
at present directing everything of im-
portance, as far as women are concerned,
in Boston, has been -made the laughing
stock of London by Jerome K. Jerome.
The humorist discovered that while Lady
Henry was denouncing every form of
social evil in London she was drawing

Senator Allen Administcrs a Dig to the Sec-
retary of the Treasury—Routine
Proceedings of the National
House and Senate.
Wasniucron. Feb. 1.—Senator Elect
Thurston (Rep, Neb.) was on the floor of
the senate today and was introduced by
Mr. Manderson, whom he succeeds.
Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y.) presented to the
senate the petition of the leather and hide
trade of New York, urging the issue of
$500, 000. 000 of gold bonds.
Mr. German’s resolution Was agreed to
for the printing of plates of flags of all
maritime nations for public use, particu-
larly on shipboard.
Mr. Pefier (Pop, Kan.) wished to intro-
duce a financial resolution and to preface
it with a statement. Mr. Harris (Dem.,
Tenn.) objected to the vicious practice of
making arguments when measures were
presented. .
Mr. Pefi'er characterized this objection
as cruel in view of the recent wide lati-
tude of financial discussion. The title of
his resolution is “to provide fq a special
election to take the sense of the people con-
cerning several questions as to the finano
cial policy of the government. ” ~
The resolution of Mr. Allen (Pop, Neb.)
was then taken up. melting as the sense of
the senate that the secretary of the treas-
ury should redeem government obligations
in silver as often as he is convinced that a '
systematic effort is making to deplete the
gold reserve and. force an lssue’of bonds.
Mr. Allen said he had no hope that the
resolution would pass. But he wanted to
call public attention to the persistent and
dogmatic action of the secretary of the
treasury in ignoring the law which gave
him the option of paying certain obliga-
tions in silver, and made it imperative
that he should redeem at least two forms
of currency in silver. It was a usurpation
of authority. People would form their own
conclusions as to the secretary of the treas-
ury bowing in obedience to the gold trust.
Allen Calls It a Conspiracy. l:
At present there was an organized con-
spiracy on the part of conspirators to force
a bond issue. Mr. Allen said he was glad
to hear the free and frank confession of
Mr. Vest (Dem., Mo.) yesterday that he
would no longer follow the president’s dic-
tatorship. No wonder Mr. Vest cried out
in anguish after 18 months of failure fol-
lowing presidential dictation. Even the
' senator from Ohio (Sherman), who had
been classed as a blmotallist. now chose to
desert silver and adopt gold as a single
standard with interest bearing bonds,
making the nation the prey and sport of the
money power. ~.
Senator Shaman interrupted to say that
he had proposed a popular subscription to
goverment certificates. -
, Mr. Alien responded that this was a dis-
tinction without a difference Continuing.
the Nebraska senator declared that there
was a. time when the secretary of the treas-
ury was a great and powerful officer, but
new be was a mere clerk.
Mr. Allen sought to secure a yea and
nay vote on his proposition. Mr. Aldrich
(Rep, R. I.) interposed with a motion to
send the resolution to the finance commit-
tee. He said the resolution was mandatory -
and would commit the government to par.
ing silver.
Mr. German interposed with a motion
to take up a pending District of Colum-
bia bill. He said it was perfectly apparent
that this discussion of- financial resolutions
was utterly fruitless.’ Appropriation bills
were waiting, and the days of congress .
were flying fast. This brought Mr. Hill to '
his feet. He suggested to Mr. German that ‘
there were measures quite as important as
appropriation bills, and he considered sev- '
eral of these financial resolutions as among
these.
The Martin Matter. "
Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) interjected
a privileged resolution reciting that at the
time of the recent election of John Martin
to the United States senate by the legisla-
ture of Kansas the latter body was not le- ‘
gully organized, and that Mr. Martin was
not entitled to his seat.
The senate was thus involved in a par-
liamentary tangle between the pending :
financial resolution, the claim of privilege
on the Martin resolution and the other _
motions seeking to side track the financial I
discussion.
The presiding officer ruled that the Mar- _
tin resolution was not privileged. Mr. 1;
Chandler appealed from the decision of the ,
chair. Mr. Gorman moved to lay the ap- é
peal on the table. In the course of the at-
tending discussion Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) ‘
spoke in stage whispers to his colleagues 5
until Mr. Chandler suggested that he 2
could forgive this rudeness, but preferred 1
to have the Delaware senator make his dis- T
agreeable remarks on the floor of the sen- '
ate, where they could be answered.
Mr. Gray vvas perceptibly irritated, and
the senators looked at each other savagely.
Mr. Chandler’s appeal from the chair’s
decision was laid on the table—39 to 6——
many Republican senators not voting.
In the House.
Speaker Crisp called the house to order
today. Owing to the absence of Rev. Mr.
Bagby, Dr. Everett of Massachusetts do.
livered the invocation.
Bills were passed as follows: To adopt
special rules for the navigation of harbors, ,1
rivers and inland waters of the United
States, supplementary to the act to adopt '
regulations to prevent collisions at sea; to ,
fix the time for holding district court in E
North Dakota‘; for the relief of D. Fulford: _
for the relief of the Glenmore Distilling ;
company; for the relief of the First State
bank of Mound City. 1115.
An attempt to pass a bill for the detail ~
of 50 army officers to give. military instruc- .
tion at high and normal schools failed, l
whereupon, under theta-ms of the special f
order adopted yesterday, the house went _,
into committee of the whole and resumed
the consideration of the Pacific railnoad
funding bill. i
Mr. .Harrls (Pop, Kan.) completed the
remarks against the bill which he beghn %
yesterday. He cited a specific case who?)
the construction company. composed n
reality of the president and some of t e
directors of the road, had profited to e
extent of 81, 600, 000 on a very short stret ,
of road running through one Kansas conni-
ty. Mr. Boatner (Dem., La.) spoke against
the measure. i
