IMitirii thmomit 1
The subject of tow n sew erage Is attract
ing much mote client Ion than formerly
and Is quite properly In lug made the sub
ject of very serious tlnaight liy maty of
Albany's most progressive cltlxens
Time wss when the Morale regulations
might have been enforced In our mki.t.bul
the Que.'ti Clly of the Vality has long
since grown to such proportions that the
old time tnsthods of sanitation fall far
short of our present need. Cleanliness
and purity of surrounding are of lint first
Importance In a new and growing city.
Pure air, pure water and pure soil are the
ncccnry concomittant condition of per.
feet hoalthfu.hc. An examination Into
the sanitary surrounding of iflost of our
older town and cldc show a deplorable
need of some system site efforts looking to
ward purification, ,
Water tupplle from most questionable
sources are compion and unsuspected as
shown br recent Investigations at Tacoma,
Add to a taln'cd water supply soil reek
lug with the accumulated flilh of year
and we have a condition of affair Inviting
disease and death. When this follow a
a natural consequence, hypocrite and
charlatan cry out against the "stern de
cree ot an All-wise providence." Out
upon luch deceit and sl-XM-t-sighted folly.
To store the filth of a city althhi a city Is
tv. defy fate and Invite destruction. Let
t'19 new town of the west learn wisdom
from the sad expciience of their older sis
ters In the eastern states and keep their
surrounding pure and cleanly. It Is
easier lo keep our soil purs than It Is to
purify It after once polluted and U less
costly.
Money judiciously expended In a care
fully designed sewer system I alwsys a
paying Investment for clty.ycl I seldom
done until the need becomes Imperative
and the cost probably doubled. Often at
tempt are made to convey sewage from
town lit so called kewer" designed by
santtaiian who are quack In engineering
and laid by engineer who are quack In
sanitation. They utterly fall in the most
vital particular, but by their presence lull
the unthinking Into a false sense of secur-
ity . Their original crt also stands a an
argument gtnt thcl. complete aband
onment and the substitution of something
better. Now to come directly home and
consider our own condition it I glaringly
evident that something ought to be done
soon. We might grow on for several
year before we would be forced to action,
but the time I fast approaching when
complete sewer system must be built In
Albany, Every cent that I spent now In
liap-bsiard manner is nianey wasted and
must be mac up by future generations.
The question of cost is one of oaramoont
Importance and Is too often the only de
ciding one. The old style of building
sewer to carry on sub-soil and ttorm
water usually cost from $5 to S19 per
lineal foot. "The separate system designed
to cany cmlv sewage proper cost lrom
7S cent to i per lineal loot under the
same conditions.
'I he continued adoption of the combined
system In many case only cmnhatues the
fact that it Is easier to follow precedent ,
than to make Independent investigation, i
As an Instance, the estimated cost of the
combined system (ora certain Eastern city
was 944,000. i no separate system was
actually built at a cost of 135.000 and I to
day doing excellent work. To meet the
expense of sewer building, various meth
ods of assessment have been adooted.
Much depend on the circumstance
whether live whole system is to be built at
once or by piecemeal, whether or not there
are distinct sewer district, and the total
cost of sewers compared with value of the
property benefitted.
1 be most popular method In the West
seems to be the issuing cf sewer bonds and
providing for their gradual calling In, or
by a general sewer tax paying for sewers
as fast as built. I think in the majority of
case the best plan I to assess a certain
amount per front loot on adjoining proper
ty or on property directly benefitted and
securing tne oaiance oy assessing a gener
al sewer tax. However this is a matter of
finance and entirely distinct from the press.
Ing need of purity In surroundings. Yet
oiten considerations of cost weigh more
with city Boards of Public Works than
dies the most emphatic and truthful de
claration that "cleanllnet I next to god li
nes, wnen cleanliness can be secured
witn comparative cheapness, there Is no
excuse for public authorities to shirk their
plain duty. Let everyone who has the
permanent good of Albany al heart take
up me cry and demand that sewers shall
be built and that our city shall be known
as clean and wholesome. Let our first
boast be "five miles of perfect sewers" and
save our second speech to refer to our
street railways. .Let us call the attention
of strangers to the purity rather tnan the
price of our io!L Let us give them good

Inclemencv of the weathei, and the fact
that It wa the fourth engagement, the au
dience at the Opera llouee last Friday to
hear Mr Bandmann was of good propor-1
Hons and was larger than was expected.
The manner In which Bandmann drew
here shows that Albany knows how to ap-
predate a good thing. The Bandmann

The school law has this piovisiooi "That
th entire school funds received annually by
each school district from the aportlonmenis
of the five milt county school lax and the lr-
reducil le stale school fund made by the sever
al county school superintendents shall lie ex
hausted within and during the year for which
such apportionments sre made, and shall 1
expended for school pujioses only." It Is said
that msny districts hive money on hands but
io not expend it because attendance of pupil
can not be secured on account of bad weather.
Another provision of the school law 1 every
psrent, guardian or other person having chart;
or contiol of a child or children between the
ge of eight and fourteen must send him or
them to a puplie school twelve weeks or mote
in each year, unless the child is sick or In an
unfit mental condition. If such child or child
ren are taught la a private school or at borne
ia the branches that are usually taught in pri
mary school, this shall be deemed a compli
ance with the law.
The disgraceful scenes being enacted in the
luwr house of congress aie the natural out
growth of the assumption of autocratic power
by Keed, the speaker. His course and that of
the republican members In sustaining him ia

extreme, and all thus because that party feel
insecure in its present slim majority and Is de
termined to increase it by ousting democrats
and giving their sea'. to republicans. The
reconstruction days art upon us again, od
the disgust of the people will be more full and
certain, and their romlemmation more speedy
now lbs a idea w hen they rose up in their might
and burled that arty from power. The next
congress will b democratic.
First Assistant Postmaster Genera,
Clarkton In answer to the report about
his resignation to edit the Chicago Times,
etc., I quoted a aylng: "It may take,
perhaps, until next March before my work
I accomplished, and until then I shall re
main right here. After that some one
else may have the place." Which must
be taken to mean that by tnat time ue wiil
have all the Important postoffke heads re
moved from theli official shouldcis, since
that Is the kind of "work" to which lie ha
been heretofore especially devoted
The Administration, in interfering to screen
Dudley from his punishment for corrupting iht
ballot box in Indians, has unquestionably
made t-sd botch of things. Its effect ia
that State, according to Republican authority
there, will be Injurious, and in the nation gen.
erally it is simply demoralizing, a a piece cf
ptrty policy. This Administration has less
political tact ihsnany thai we remeratier for a
considerable time. Smalt wonder that Mr
Blaine holds aloof from actively appearing ia

TIHC FACT.
Some time ago the negro population of
Upper Allon, Illinois, took It Into their
heads that tMr children should be admit
ted (o the High School In that city. Al
though the school Is a public one.the whites
In that town rose In mas and breathed out
blood and slaughter against their colored
brctlicrn for thus attempting to force
themselves to b place of equality with the
white. In calling attention 10 this "out
rage", democratic paper meekly reminded
repnbHcan paper that Hie "north" and
not the "so mli", was to be held accounta
ble for this turbulent and violent exhibi
tion of rae prejudice. The Orrgomnn. In
order 10 break the force of this home
Ihrust, marched light up to the front and
n It characteilsti way, stated the that
population of southern Illinois was largely
democratic, and during the war sympa
thized with the south, and by inuuendo
cnarged that these white of Upper Alton
were democrat. Vhe fact ere thfct that
locality I a republican one, the tow n es
peclally being republican, tnd the county
in which It I situated gave Han (son over
300 majority over Ctcve'and. The Chlca

The republican screamers that have the
l egrolnthe south under tl.elr wings are
rather quiet about the race war In Upper
Alton, a town noted for its educational In
stitution and lis regular republican major
ity, v, ppr Alton is out an example of alt
the republican places, and of republican
generally. Contempt of the negroes that
live In the north I sound republican
dectrine. In republican eyes the negro is
as good a the white man, and a great deal
belter down south. The republican of
Upper Alton are far too good to associate
with negroes; but at the same time they
abate not one jot or tittle of their demand
that southern democrats shall live and as
sociate with them on terms of equality In
ail things. It is a favorite republican
occupation this laying dawn rules of
righteousness fur other people to observe.
No doubt a Foraker, a ralrchild, or some
other red headed statesman could persuade
all these Upper Alton nigger haters to In
dorse resolution condemning the people
of the south for doing as they do them
selves. Republicanism I the seme whe-e
you find it. It love the nigger a good

Th Sandusky, Ohio, fttghtrr, a staunch
republican pa pel, In commenting on the
election of Brice to the United State Sen
ale, savs: '
"From a purely panlsan standpoint we
might rejoice exceedingly and ue giad 11 it
could be shown that 2tr Brice had bought
the place. From the standpoint of an
Ohio citizen proud of his state and Interest
ed In its welfare we should feel anything
but glad to have it shown that he had
bought voles enough to make htm a Sen
ator, and higher than party seal should be
the cltixen.s regard for the honor of hi
stale. We do not believe that he bought
the place, or that he ever thought of buy
Ing Ir, He said to an intimate and slevotcd
friend six weeks ago that he would not use
a penny Improperly to secure the place
and we do not believe be has changed his
jslad.- ' . .. -

republican paper says
There Is no charge, intimation or sug
gestion that bosdle figured in ihe vote of a
single man to-night. The oppositions to
Brice have watched every movement of
Himself and friend In the hope that they
eoufp catch him on this score, but in no
instance is there the faintest suspicion that
money, except for legitimate expenses,
figuie'd In the contest which has just ended
In Brice' triumph. "The fact that Brice
is a millionaire will naturally bring this
kind of a charge to the door of hi victory,
but the CmmrteM, whi'e a republican pa
per, dtsirc to be fair and thl fairncs de
