Associated Press nas outlived its age of
enurpi tse and la low a pea oner on
tne v.u esur.sned juuraa; which hes
itate to part with it because of tbe good
it mignt have doue.
Its service in th pavst has been ch.ef ly
notable for its volume of dry and uu.n
lreting detail. It clogs the wires
with speeches, routine of convsntious,
and far-fetched and lil-cons.dered in
terviews, entailing eitiaastiug work on
news editors and telegtapn operators.
tso voluminous, prosy and senile had
its reports become tuat ine eaterpi.s
mg newspapers of New York, the ones
tuat pnut the news, abandoned tne
service and suhat. luted the l nitcd
i'res, the most accurate, concise and

Tne papers tnat asan ma to bold the
Associated Press francaiss) in this city
are compelled to rely largely on Cm
cago evening papers for their real
news service. The old A.-sociated
i'rvs hies aucieni history and back
number political interviews that are
used to ri:l space while the bright and
crackling usws is taken w.toout credit
from in L'u.tcd Press service as it ap

It should be reuu nibcred that Tin:

0e of the results of amateur work
fasj the office of the prosecuting attor
ney was illustrated iu the superior
court yesterday. A complaint charg
ing embf-zzlernenl was so bunglmgly
drawn mat the accused was discharged.
He was re-arrested on another com
plaint winch also contained alleged
manifest errors on us face. These mis
takes are not the exception, but the
rule. They clearly show that tbe
business of the othce, intrusted to
mere striplings, is performed in a
loose and indifferent manner that
often threatens to defeat the ends of
justice. There is need for a change in
; tbe office. The voters will paasjudg-
meat on this kind of business by vot
I ing for Alfred Wolcott for prosecuting
'. attorney.
Mu. HoVf speech before the
I young republicans last evening was
digmtied and logical. He discussed
, tbe tariff from a practical star dpoint
; citing the results accomplished in the
1 salt and sitjCj schedules. He paid a
passing tribute to the reciprocity clause
and presented incontestable proofs of
its beneticence in opening up the mar-
kets of the world to American produc
j ers. His apostrophe to the flag was a
I beautiful piece of pathos and it held
I his hearers transfixed with eager atteu-
tiveness for the space of five minutes.
He is an orator.
Lon TMnrnasj is dangerously ill
with the gout. Ieath Meems to have
grouped the poets for li s harvest of
Ms Whitman and Wbittier have
been called to the great unknowable
whence, and now Tennyson is passing
through the valley of the snadow.
With the taking away of these illustri
ous singers, there seem? to be an aching
void in the ranks of the devotees of
tbe geDtie muse.
Mr. Carte, who is in charge of the
Chicago end of the democratic rainbow

claim that Iowa will ro democratic.
If ha were to say that Texas would go

preposterous.
AnoLPtit's Ananias EUM continues
to confine bis discuMion of the polit

no newspapers are published. His
speech and his letter to the cranks in

artistically inconsistent. No wonder he

PACTS THE ( ASK
A Bit of History About Our
Water Bonds.
CAUSES FOR THE GREAT DELAY
The Council Blocks the Progress of
Impt ovements Contemplated by
the Board.
the
Dr. Watson, an ex member of the
toard of health, m iaet Sunday' Kag.e
; compia.ned ol the board of pubnc
' work because it had cot expended the
j money voted by tne people tor tne tur-
poe of testing tue Cook well sytlem
of turmsning pure water to the city.
1 Tne writer is correct in some of his
fftatementa but bis criticism snows be is
. not familiar wan the h st ry of the
I Look well matter. He aays the peop'C
voisd to bond the city in tbe hope of
having the Cook system adopted if it
; was a success. Thus far ne is correct.
: The board of public works advertised
I to the city that the object of raisiug
j the money was to carry out the estab
lishment of ihe system provided the
I test proved that a supply of water
i could be procured from the well.
! When he blames the board of public
, work for uot exucuting a contract he
! hows he is iguorant of tne manner in
a inch contracts pass the official ma
j cbinvry of tbe cay.
i lie fact is tbe board of public works
I has worked hard to get the system es
j tabhflhed, but tne common couucil has
blacked the contract and if blame i
, due to any one it should be placed on
j the common council. The lntory of
; Um whole matter is kois and may tie
j fonud in the records in the office of the
hoard of public works and iu Mm
official proceedings of tne council. In
June, l!'Jl, tne people of the ny voted
0 nond the -,uy tor tliou.OOO for the
sxtaoaiw f water m.tins and the
. securing of an abundant sunplv of
wholesome water. The vote had
aOarvalf been counted before Utl board
ol public works hau a contract con-
: torming to tne oiler of the Cook feYell
; company, drawn by the city auibor
i il.es.
Knl Tupn ProTUloos.
This coctract as adopted by the
bostld July -6, 1891, and two days later
was piasaated to the common council,
STban it was hoped it would teordere t
executed by the mayor. It might be
well to state here that no contract
made by to board of public works i
m tore- until the common couucil has
ordered the may r to sign it. At any
time the council does not approve the
action of the board it may block any
action the board may have taken.
When the contract came to the coun
cil Alderman Turner moved that it he
referred to a special committee. His
motion was carried, and the committee
was appointed, with Alderman Turner
as cuairman. This committee carried
the contract m its pockets for three
months and nothing was heard about
it. October 9 the contract was read to
the council. Alderman Conger moved
that the mayor be instructed to execute
it. Mayor Qbl cautioned the conned
to make haste slowly and to be cure ot
what it was doing. Alderman Stein
moved to refer to the city attorney to
report on soiim legal aspects of the con
tract. This carried, and October 12
Mr. Taylor reported on the matter.
Nothing further was done until Decem
ber 21, 1391, when Alderman Frost
moved that tlie contract be taken up.
Alderman Turner moved to reject the
contract. Aidermau Conger moved to
table for one week, wnich was done.
The next week Alderman Frost moved
to take from the table, but it was lost
no one but Aldermen Frost, Saunders
and Steiu voting yea. The rec rd of
the contract ends abruptly here, and it
is supposed to be in Alderman Turner's
inside pocket still.

BOCIETY EVENT8.
The Opening of the Dsncing Schools
Last Evening Was Successful.
The social season was opened last
night under very favorable circum
stances. Hotn tne daucmg clasnes of
the M.mm-8 liage and iteneJ ctand Fan
me Wilcox were well attended and
pleasant occasions. The former class
n the Graed Rapids Guards Armory
was attended by ahout forty couples
and Miss Wilcox's cleat, m the luncs
Kdle Armory by about hlty couples.
Miss Wilcox and her c rps of assist
ants made a step forward when they
donned the nest uniform dress, wmcn
they w ar.
Among the pleasant features of the
evening was Um waltz where the par
ticipants sang "Come Waltz With Me"
and the college Lancers which was
accompanied by the muging of col ege
songs.
Tne armory parlors and stsge were
decorated witn beauliiul cut tiower..
1 he evening was divided into two divi
s.ons, the nr.-1 of two hours, for the
letfOaM, and the second of one hour
tor entertainment by tue most ad
vanced pupils.
SUPERVISORS' ROOM CARPETED.
One Is Laid Contrary to the Wishes of
the Board.
The committee on public buildings of
the board of supervisors has laid tbe
foundation for a bitter contention
when the board meets in regular ses
sion next Monday. At tbe last special
sens.on, a resolution was introduced
providing for the purchase of a carpet
for the board room and it was rejected
by a decided majority. Contrary to
the vote of the board the comnrttee
has procured 105 yards of hue body
Drussels carpet at a coat of over flOO
and put it down in tbe board room. It
is the opinion of a few members of the
board tuat the action of the committee
will uot be approved and the question
is, "Wuo will pay for the carpet?"

Sleeper.
Company fi. Second Michigan in
fantry, has decided to go as a com
pany to the dedication of tne world's
fair. The members were late in mak
ing their decision, and could uot be ac
cepted with the state detail, but will
go privately. Thny have already char
tered a sleeping car, which will be side
tracked at tbe grounds and used as
a compauy headquarters. Forty men
have Mgnihed their liiUnt.on of going,
and it is proposed to make this outing
as successful as any previous ones given
by the company. Tne boy will have

Rev. Colledge's Lecture.
The Rev. W. A. Col ledge of Cadillac
drew a large audience with his lecture
on Scotch character in the Park cnurch
last night. The audience was largely
composed of persons of Scotch blood
and to them the lecture was one of
great enjoyment. Mr. Colledge is a
remarkably entertaining speaker. He
gave something of Scotch history and
explained how the events of early days
bad impressed tbe Scotch character,
lie said the wit and humor of a people
revealed most plaiuly the character of
a people, lie gave samples of negro
humor and Irish humor and then com
pared it with the Scotch article. He
spoke at length oo Sooteh poets and
writers. He recit .-d from N ott, Camp

IT HELPS THEM ALL
The McKinley Bill Makes Work
for Cigarmaker.
SILVER GOODS ARE BENEFITED
Home Industrie Are Sum ui ted by
Shutting Out Cheap Foreign
Made Pioducta. I
"Cigar manufaciuiera, that is tbe
makers of tne uigu grade goods,
are experienciag some d.rhcu.ty in
blliug orders,'' said R. L. Fee of
Detroit, iu Sweet's yesterday altemooo.
Tne demand fur a high class domeat.c
e.gar ba increased fully 00 per cent
sibce the McKinley bill Went into effect.
The reaaou i quite plain. You see a
duty of two dollars a pound was placed
on Havana and samatra tobacco.
From tue latter tobacco looo wrappers
were obtamed from tuiee pounus of
the leaf, wn.le it took twelve pound
of the Havana leaf to yield a like
Dumber of wrappers. Good imported
cigar used to cost sixty-bve dollars per
looo before tbe McK.nley bill now the
same grades costs 1100. It was either
Kut up the price or lower tne rrades;
jtb was done with UisaaUrous effect
to the Cuban maker.
"It is the same w.th the Key West
goods. Cigars that formerly cost titty
two dollars uow sell for sixty-five. The
weeds that sell for btty-two per looo
are of much poorer grade. These con
ditions forced the American manufact
urers to maae a much b tier donjrst c
cigar to meet trie demand, and a
gri-atiy increased number of men were
giveu en ployitieut at higuer wages.
To be sure it coals tne manufacturer
from three to five dollars morn a loOJ
to make the cigars; but ou the other
hand tie sells three tlltl a many
e.gars as he did hefore the McK n.ey
bill went into effect. Tobacco manu
facturers are not complain. ng; not
this year."
"Manufacturers of silver plated ware
are happy. Very," remarked George 1).
Muusou of tne William Kogers Manu
facturing company at the Morton yes
terday. "Fact is, none of them can
keep up with their orders. It's reiner
dimcult to sell a man goods when he
bM not rece.ved an order given five
weeks aifo. That's my exper,en e ia
Grand Rapids. 1 he trade has been
phenomenal this year, with apparently
nothing to cause it, and it's presiden
tial year at tnat. I've been lalki&f to
the plate men whom I've met, and we
all agree that the money for lust year's
crops has gotten into circulation. In
direct effect of ttie McKinley bill.
Another thing, plated ware manu
facturers are psymg great attention to
what is known as 'hollows' goods, cake
baskets, butter dishes, castors, soap
dishes and that class f articles. Tbe
designs are beautiful, equally as
pretty as those in solid wares. As a
matter of fact pretty much all the
aainty things shown in sterling silver
are duplicated in silver ware. Should
the tariff be removed it would hurt us,
but still we would show bandaomer
things thsu the imported articles; our
designs are more graceful. There is
but little enthusiasm sbown so far in
the csmpaigu tne Harrison sentiment
is unmistakable."

"My new play, 'The Tornado,' will
present several novelties, among them
the rigging of a vessel," said tbe play
wright, L. J. Carter, at the Morton yes
terday. "I will present sai.ors at work
on a swaying mast in a etorm. An
other effect new to the stac will lie a
collision in mid ocean of two collossal
modern steamships which will he sur
rounded by a salt atmosphere."
Mr. Carter has arranged this scene
so that one of the steamers will he
actually cut iu two iu view of the
audience.
"After this I will introduce a scene
in a dissecting room in the Chicago
medical college. This is something
new to tbe etage, don't you think?
There will be nothing revolting in this
picture. It will present a figure tin a
in trble slab with a demonstrator and a
class of students, and the subject will
be an important factor m tbe develop
ment of the play. Tnere will be no
thing h rrifymg in this scene, but it
will be something uew and original in
theatric effects.
The great mass of people today who
throng the theaters want to ee the
things that they see in every day life
portrayed on tlie stage, i he sjm tit
they see mach nery in operation, that
is yacht-, railroad trams, saw nulls,
halioon ascensions, patrol wagons, they
enthuse and applaud. I am wri ng
mv plays aith this idea in mud. I
think Wi aie in an age of realism and
I believe plays with tbaat effect! will
be popu ar for Un years. I bu hi
around Lhasa play a tory and dia
