The titua has oon wbou our city should btfgiu to oouaiJer the health of the people M it may be affected by deficient sewerage. The well ot the eiU Are already ooutauiiuated by forelxn subetauoes. lo faol so apparent ia the foullug of the wells id the olty that many porsous whose families were oou tinuaily aiok ascribed it to impure well water and hare discarded thetu, with the result that health aud strength have r turned. There is every reasoo lo be lieve that the doctors of this city, from a selfish lutereet, would oppose any change but tor the very reAsou that they know so well the oauae auderlyiug the oases of sicuuoss they are called on to at tend, they will rise above mere selfish purposes aud favor better sewerage. What is a positive fouling ot the wells of water must also have some bad effects in the air we breathe, and therefore as our town grows the demand will Increase for some method ot providing a sewersge system. The question now srtsee, are we at the point where we must have sewers? As to the method of payment it would seem that the only proper way is one mam sewer the length of city aud branches leading to it, and as the ex pause ot this matu one cannot justly be paid for by property owners on street where located, it will therefore have to be paid tor by the city and bonds will needs be issued. In the ordinance for the oonstraotion ot a sewer the oity might make a small charge lo each person connecting with the city sewer, so that eventually the amount expended by the eity would be paid by those making connection. However it is not necessary to go into details on the sewerage ques tion. We either need sewers or we do not. It we need tbetn the oounoil in its wisdom will see that they are honestly and economically built aud on as easy terms to the people as possible. BOARD OF TRADE. There is argent need in Imloyen denoe for an organization corresponding to a board of trade. K few of our load ing business men might meet together and discusj publio measures and from the variety of opiuions gained and oou aidered, action might be taken whose results would be ot great value to our oommunity. Why does not someoue take the start? In an orginization of that kind in Independeuoe fonr or Ave years the total oost for dues and assess ments was only about 817 to each mem bet for three years, and when the re sults of that board of trade are considered both direct and indirect we know it was ot great benefit. It is not so much money that is needed to help build np a oommunity as it w a unity of sentiment in favor of encouraging men with complete knowledge ot buHiuess to locate with us. It has been said that a skilled business man is equal to a philanthropic. We believe it. He not only makes a suocess himself but stimulates others to take advantage of circumstances and also succeed. It is by knowing our needs that we ore able to get our supplies intelligently. Every business man in Independence is in terested in the town. Being all inter ested there should be no trouble in nnity of action for the oommon good. It is said the telephone newspaper, which has been in successful operation over two years st Budapest, has beoome almost indispensable to its 6,000 subscri bers. The service bos a main wire of 168 miles, which is connected to private houses and various public resorts. Bo tween 7 30 in the morning and 930 In the evening twenty-eight editions are spoken into the transmitter, ten men with loud, dear voices acting as speakers In shifts ot two. The newa ia classified and givsu in aooordanoe with a regular programme, so that any subsniibsr knows when to expect the kind ot items ot In terest to him. A short summary ot all important items ia giveu at Boon aud again at night, and subscribers are stitortaiued with, tuusio and lectures lu the eveuiug. Our city fathers should pass mors strlngeut Isws rvgulatlug lbs aalss of stocks ot goods lo our city by auction. If the present ordinances do not cover the situation more fully than they seem lo do, new ordinauooa should be drafted aud at ouoe. It ia not just that our busiueas men, who live here, pay taxes aud speud their mouuy tu the town should be brought luto competition with cheap auction goods brought in for the express purpow ot finding sale here. The railroad statistics ot the rjtate ot lVniiKylvsuia abow thatouly 1 passenger out of evory 4, 5fcW, 714 earned was killed during last year, aud ouly 1 out of 304, 947 Injured, but the imployss were not so fortunate, as 1 out ot every 434 was killed aud 1 out of every 33 was injured. We have all along suspected that it was safer to tie s paeuger than au employe, even it you travel on a paas. TNaiuveutor of a bioycle suit that will enable a womau to look as graceful standiug ou her head, or recliuing in the midale of the road, as when dressed forau evening eulertalumeut, ia sure not only ot fame aud tortuus but of the undying kve ot every womau cyclist, i." . . ...... i Two democratic Heuators Dries and Pasco have aald tbat they would vote with the republicans to amend ths pre sot tariff law to the extent necessary to rise the revenue ueeded by the govern- oieut and it will not be surprising if others do so. AnthontUops, ths English author, declines to lecture iu this oountry, be cause be hasn't anything to lecture about and doee not kuow bow to lecture Others have had the same reesous, but they lectured all the same. There are idiots in the Mouth as well as iu other sections, but Uov, Lvaus aud Seualor Tillman, of South Carolina, are entitled to the champion belt, although the Qov. of Ueurgia ws a close com petitor. Let those who am harping upon the mistakes tbat are to be made by Tom Keed point out some of the mistakes be made when be waa Speaker of the House before, aud tbey will receive more atten tion. There will not be so much democrstic kkikiug when the some old Keed rule are applied to the house, as the grester portion ot those rule were adopted by the democrats of the last house. n i ,i It our democratio fneuds will ouly be patient they will in due time lesro whst the republican Congress proposes to do, aud we venture the prediction that It will be disappointing to them. It bis meMsge represents sll the bard thinking he did while fishing in Bus- tsra's bay Mr. Cleveland should lose no time in having his thinking apparatus examined by an expert. Wall, it isn't Mr. Cleveland's fault that some people expected a different sort of message; he never said he hsd ohanged bis opinions. It was his know it-all friends. Tin multiplication of republican oan didates for the senate in Kentucky is a good sign. It indicntes that Blackburn's suooessor will be a republican. Of the 104 democratio members of the new House 50 are free sliver men aud 7 are doubtful, or at least that was their stutus wheo elected. Mr. Keed may have shaved off his mustache because of the growing tend ency of the caricaturists to make him look like Mr. Cleveland. If the Bultim ot Turkey can succeed in pi Hying Gormaoy against England be onn defend on indefinitely posponing the partition of his empire. There Is a suspicion that Mr. Brice will devote more attention to his rail road business than to the business of the Benute this winter. Tun messages of congress to the president promine to be much more interesting 'liuu the president's message to oongress. If Senator Hill was paid 81000 per lecture somebody wus losing about 8900 per lecture; hence the cancellation of all his dates. The next man that suggests Georgia as a good field to loctnre in, to Ex-Congress, man Bland, of Mo., will be brained on the spot. Everybody el having had a say as to what CoiiKreea will dci,(Vogr will now be allowed to talk for Itw If. i . . ". i j !. i . ,i II begins to look like one ot tbeoerlaiu ties ot the Uongrensioual session is s restoration of duty ou wool. Mr. Cleveland has lint expressed any regret over Senator Hill's failure as s lecturer. CORRESPONDENCE. I'AllkrlL Totn Newtou la working for ('lev Parker. I L. Baker Is laboring fir Ed Hidwelt.
