We are the decided advocate of cold wa

bused, For some time past fears have been
entertained that the supply Of this useful cl-
cment would he insufficient, but The intro
duetioa Of another spring into the rcsoryoil
has made Che supply ample. There is on
thing. however, to wiicl. we wish to cal
the attention. of the town authorities
IS the unnecessary coSte Of water In otu
walks about town we have noticed numerous
hfarants open and the water wasting--many
of these hydrants, too, are left open all night
to prevent She water from freezing in them.
This wastage shocla be promptly checked
by tho proper authorities. II the water
should freeze. the hydrants aan be opened
with but little trouble. The law with ref
erenee to leaving hydrants open should be
rigidly enforced "wthout fear, favor or 1t,
lection" There would be 40 alarm about
the supply of water if the works were prop
erly managed.

The Future of Black RepabIicap;sm.

" e noticed an article q short time ago
from the New York Journal of Commerce,
giving an exposition Of the vete for Presi-
dent III 1902 and 1856, by which it was
clearly shown that the Democratic vote has
been steadily on the increase since the cleo
ton preceding the last. Taking the figures
OF the Commerce, we have no reason to fear
the ultimate triumph of the enemies of the
South and the Constitutions
In an excellent article on THE Result :"
the Washington Union Of a late date like
wise demonstrates the improbability of this
sectional faction ever acquiring the control
Of the government. Previous to the cleo
ton, as the Union says, the Black Repub-
leans claimed with the utmost confidence
that they would sweep every free State; that
New York would GO for them by 10000
majority over the combined strength of all
opposition; that Ohio was theirs by a still
larger majority Pennsylvania would
give 10, 900 majority--Indiana and Illinois
each. not less than % 000-and that a
Fremont ticket would be run in some of the
slave States-and though they had not the
hgrJihood to say they expected to carry any
Of them, yet they predicted a very strong
vote now, with a great probability that they
would on future occasion carry some Of
the border slave States for the Republican
party
And what has been the actual result p
They have lost Illinois, lutliana, pchnsyt-
vania, New Jersey. and California, by alb
solate and large majorities Though they
obtain the electoral colleges in New Yorl,
aud Ohio by a plurality vote, the people Of
both those States have decided on the ag-
gregate vote against them and their princi-
ples-tbe former by 10, 600 and the latter
by 20, 600 majority; and the same is the
case in several other Of the free States,
which they have carried by a plurality =
They have lost two members of Congress in
Illinois eight, and probably nine, in Ohio;
ten in Pennsylvania, and twelve in New
York; and their present majority will not
only be lost, but under the elections that
have already taken place, they are in a mi
nority in the new House, with the prospect
that they viii be in still larger minority
under additional losses in the spring cleo
tions which are yet to take place in some of
the States. On the popular vote in the free
States there is an absolute majority against
diem of $50 600 votes, with almost unan-
imous vote against them il all the slave
States. as out of 200, G00 votes east in
these States, the aggregate in all of them
for Fremont is 100, or about one in each
GOO, which is the aggregate vote for the
Black Republican candidate, who, it was
predicted, would obtain stroag one in sew
erai of those States, and in the aggregate
vote of the whole Union of 3 500 900 votes.
