It has charged itself with the task of defeating the treaty. and it proceeds upon its well-known lires. Is It possible for such an organization to succeed in business antagonistie to the best interess of the whole country? The fight distinctly is between the sugar trust and the coun- On the one side is a corporation seek- d its money-making power and cpportunity; on the other is the government itself seeking to fuifill its destiny and ex- tend its boundaries to meet an imperative duty. Simply to state the case ought to be sufficient to decide the But so shrewd is the sugar trust, so far-reaching in its influences and connections, that those who have the interests of the coun- try at heart and would advance them find faany difficulties put in their way. Naturally the sugar trust essays the Part of champion of the people. Labor organizations are warned against a horde of Asiatics, which they are assured will be let in if the Hawaiian Islands are an- nexed. The farmers of the west and the nerthwest, and particularly those inter- ested in the beet sugar industry, are told that annexation will mean the destruction of that industry.

The citizens of the District de- sire, first, more water, in such volume that the higher areas may be adequately sup- Dlied; second, purer water, through the in- tervention of a@ filtration process. The cbecking of the waste that is due to the Individual householders will by no means add to e efficier upply in s h degree that the reason for an increase of the gen- €ral supply by additional engineering works will be removed. The tests so far applied have failed to put the burden of responsi- This nedy It is thought would al- bil for water waste exclusively or wely upon the private consumers, whom now proposed te annoy with mi The situation is such that the District government ought first of all to prove that the greater part of the waste is due Go ic consumers before a decision is reached in favor of a ‘al waier meter law alres rs by la certain charftable institutions. Recent in- | qviries showed that a large percentage of the total waste could be traced to three such institutions. These establishments should first be equipped with meters. There is no reason why the actual amount of waste in these places cannot be determined, departments and all. Afte# the percentage of waste thus caused has been fixed an effort should be made to include in the list of large users who by law are required to employ meters and pay in proportion to use those establishments and even residences that are not now so equipped, but cause heavy drains on the supply. Care should at the same time be taken to insure honest returns from the meters. It has been shown that not only are meters unreliable, but that there are ways to divert the water from the registering apparatus and yet use it on the premises which the meter is sup- posed to guard. When these heavy items of waste have been determined and measured the Com- missioners should next seek to ascertain how large is the leakage from pipes and mains befere the spigots of the private consumers are reached. It is known that many of the old mains are leaky, having been badly laid or being broken by acci- dents and by the intrusion of tree roots into their joints. Electrolysis may have added to the infirmities of the pipes, and it is more than probable that thé ground 1s saturated with water escaping from the supply mains. These items of waste, which undoubtedly exist, ought not to be charged by any pos- sibility to the account of the private user, whose free and unrestricted enjoyment of the water should be regarded as a public benefit, tending to the preservation of health. If, after this series of eliminations, there still appears to be an unwarranted e on the part of the citizens, then the water meter may be regarded as a last re- sort, but only to be utilized when the frac- tion of individual waste becomes too heavy to be borne. On general principles it would seem wiser to spend a million of the public money in purifying the Potomac water to the benefit of the community's health, or in the un- mistakable increase of the water supply by the completion of the tunnel, than to make the same expenditure for the benefit of some seller of water meters in attack upon an alleged extraordinary waste by the domestic consumers, the extent of which is as yet largely a matter of guess- work. ++ That Ohio Conspiracy. The more closely that anti-Hanna com- bination and its operations are examined the more audacious and disreputable they appear. The scheme was sm but too smart. It carried the germ of its own de- struction. The American people like fair With inity to pass upon oppor’ a disputed point they insist on fair play. It was only ne ry therefore that the scheme be understood to make defeat for it certain. So that when the schemers, overeager and overconfident, misled, as such individuals are apt to be, by their first point, turned for a from business and from “setting up jobs” to loudly proclaiming their real purpo they wrought their own undoing. The peo- re of the state improved the opportunity to examine into"the whole matter. A what did they discover? Nothing less than a conspiracy compe few men to set aside the expressed will of the people. Half a dozen “slick citizens” ad gathered in a hotel parlor at Columbus for the avowed purpose of controlling the election of a United States Senator and of shaping state legislation. Malignity, per- political treachery, and other things, were the animating influences. Hobnobbing together were individuals con- sumed with vanity and aspirations for for themselves, apparently unable that honors of no kind could be ob- by such means, and others who, representing nothing worthy of notice in themselves, were simply the crafty too!s ef others, present to obey the behests o their masters. The ¥ failed, as it deserved to fail. The people won the fight, and the result is as satisfactory to the bet- ter class of democrats to the better of republicans. Success for such an «ult on the integrity of party instruc- d of a very onal and conspi as ons would have been as severe a blow to ene party as to the other. hese of the conspirators who had any- thing to lose have lost all.

His statement is a matter of record. There are places covered by the law which he thinks should be ex- empted from its operations, while there are ethers without the law which, in his opinion, should be brought within it. He has the power to act in the premises. His it is only the householder who remains un- me 4. The process for fixirg the re- #P ity for waste should be elimina- tive. It is netorieus” that the heaviest waste is due to the carelessness of those large users who are not contributors to the water fund—the government oflices and criticism was tantamount to a declaration that he weuld act. So, why was all that hullabaloo raised in the House by mem- bers of his own party before he had had time to act? Did they question his sincerity? Of course not. Nobody does that. The Pres- ident’s word ts as good as his bond, even with his opponents. The likelier, and the altogether likely, explanation is that these gentlemen, while sincere enough them- selves, were yet improving an opportunity to play to the galleries. They are candi- dates for re-election. Some of them see a rocky road ahead, not because of the existence of the civil service law, but be- cause of the usual reaction after every presidential election. They want to set all of their lieutenants to work. They feel that they will need every vote they can reach by promises or what not. They speak up, loud and strong, therefore, for “the people,” and against this hideous thing which is keeping “the people” out of their own. They want to appear as urging the President along. When he acts they will then claim to share in the credit of his performance. And doubtless they will also promise their constituents that if returned to the House they will renew the struggle in the interest of a still fur- ther modification of the law's application. The people, properly speaking, decide all of these questicns. They have repeatedly decided this civil service question in favor of the law. They did so in the national election of 1806, for, deny it as the op- porents of the law may and do, civil serv- ice reform, as then understood and as now applied, did share in the republican success of that year. If the people have changed their minds about the matter they will register their decree at the polls. But until they do that this attempt on the part of a few men to paralyze the law by congressional enactment, or force the hand of the President to the detriment of the law, is without any other warrant than individual selfishness and assertion. —— 2 oe If the Klondike rage continues it may be just as weli for Dawson City to have a few corner lots surveyed for people who can- not be happy unless they are speculating in real estate. —_————_++»—____ Recent events in Havana will tempt the Cuban insurgents to call attention to the Spanish army as a pretty fair specimen of disorganized mob. —_—___++ e____ Some of the congratulations to Mr. Hanna were slightly grotesque in their tendency to mix up piety with Ohio polities, —>+e—___ prophets are very cordially z an open winter for the all-night restaurant localities in New York. +30 ____ General Blanco’s chief advantage over General Weyler seems to be in the fact that he can refrain from talking —— ee SHOOTING How He “Does young Mr. Slimmins shine in so- efety?” asked a young woman. “Some,” replied Miss Cayenne; “espe- cially about the coat sieeves.” The Anxious Constituent.

Every political trickster and ward work- er, regardless of his party brand, is inter- ested in the overthrow of the civil service law, just as every boodler and thief is in- terested In the defeat of the police and all criminal prosecutions. If civil service has weak places they should be made strong and proof against attacks of gangs, but no honest man will attempt to defeat the prin- ciple of the law. ¢ Overhead Wires, From the’ Philadelphia Reccrd. The strongest argument against over- head electric wires is that made by the ele- ments in freezing weather, when the snow falis or when the wires are coated with ice from descending rain. The breakage and interruption, and the consequent dan- ger to life and property and delay in com- munication, constitute a sum of cost and uncertainty which in the end will compel the burying of the wires as a measure of economy.
