The Water Ouestion---Again.

Since the appearance of our article yester-
day, we have been informed Of the progress
made several years since, Ia the way OF sur
veys and estimates, looking to the intrOduc
ton of water into the city. We are not sure
whether these contemplated one particular
source OF supply--Sebago Lake--or various
sources. IL Is wise TO have this whole matter
looked fairly In the face, SO that " han move.
ment is once made ii shall need no making
over.
1t has been suggested that, In taking water
IRON Pesumpscot river, at Saccarappa Falls,
the force pumps needfuhto carry the water
into any desired distributing reservoir in the
city would be much better at that end of the
pipes, to be operated by water power, which
would involve no more outlay in the start
aud could be Kept in working order at very
much less expense than engines of equal pow
stated, no part Of our purpose to 60 into de-
tails, only TO arrest attention on The part OF
our city authorities, and direct 1t to the great
question Of water supply.
Oue thing is sure: il the city is TO tai e
hold Of The matter, as We hope it may, it " Il
have TO be inaug urated by the City Govern
ment, and We are not sharp enough TO see why
the thing need suffer the slightest delay. 1t
is idle, AID worse than idle, for an individual
to talk Of shouldering such an enterprise
there are no five individuals in the State who
would feel competent to put thsir shoulders
beneath such a load; while the idea Of any
one proposing to furnish the city with water
is simply preposterous,-the merest bosh, put
forth for effect. The city cannot afford to
commit itself 10 SO important an enterprise,
to any irresponsible party; to any party not
backed by the highest pecuniary responsible
ty, and whose integrity is above suspicion. We
want no sham work here. no botching, no at
tempt to do something and failure arrest it
half done. The work should be done and well
done, and to this end ii should be committed
to no mere business adventurer, who would
bring his contract to sudden conclusion by
swindug all with whom be would have BUSH
ness relations. 1t is for such, among olher
reasons, that we Insist It should be municipal
enterprise, like The "Coehituste" In Boston
and the "Croion" In New York.
To our judgement 1t affords no objection to
the enterprise that 1t win cost money. Every
good thing is costly in some form or another.
Water is necessity and should be had Ii the
locality Of eity-.being so largely upon rock
render, 1t impraciicabe to lay pipes then We
had better think of moving the city to mole
favorable locality!

Blockade Running.

Richmond rrespondence OF the London
Index furnishes some interesting statistics in
relation TO Blockade Running at Charleston
and Wilmington, from January LIST. 1888, to
the middle of April, 1854.
The number of vessels employed in this
business, their names, the trips they have
made, the fate that has overtsken them and
the successes that have attended them, are all
given, so that any one can have very cor
rect view of the whole transactions and the
results of them within the time above men,
toned.
One hundred and thirty three vessels have
been engaged in the work, and out of this
number fifty have been captured, forty four
lost or burnt, six returned TO England, one
worn out, ,hirty-one running or expected in,
thirty-eight captured or lost before reaching
the ConIederacy, twelve captured or lost be-
fore making one round trip, eleven ditto be-
fore making fourth round trip. Out of sew
enteen vessels owned wholly or in part by
government, twelve have been lost or captur-
ed, one is worn out, one gone to England for
iepairs, three still running. Out of one hun
bred and sixteen private vessels, eighty two
have been captured or lost, six are out of the
trade aud twenty-eight still remain running
for luck.
Among the names OF these blockade run
ners are some very romantic and formidable
ones-such as the Leopard, Giraffe, Eagle and
Raccoon, aud these have all been successfully
ru down by the Yankees, or fallen prey TO
their vigilance and activity. Ruby, Pearl and
Diamond have been seized by them as the
conqueror seized the jewels OF Indian mon
archs, while Venus perishes on the strand,
and Vesta is mourned ike the lost Pleiad.
The writer OF these statistics says il would
seem, indeed, that the Confederate commerce
was virtually closed up, and all communica-
ton with the outer world, OF the part of the
Confederates, cut of in fact as In theory, but
careful examination will show that such is
not the case. His opinion is that this block
ade ID not mp to the standard of International
be-.
II is true some of these blockade runners
have made money, while others have gone
down and proved failures. They have, no
doubt, beeu of great advantage to rebeldom,
supplying the traitors with essential articles,
and, TO a certain extent, Keeping up their
credit abroad. Strong efforts have been made
10 England TO raise the blockade for its inefll-
cheney, but its government thus far has re-
sisted the pressure and respected 1t. The
great extent OF our coast and its numerous
bays and inlets have rendered blockading a
y very serious and laborious task; but the work
has been as successfully executed as could
reasonably be expected under all the circum-
stances OF the case.

The Alabama.

The destruction OF this pra,icsl craft has
created quite as much sensation in France as
II did In England. The French papers, with
but one exception, pay high tribute of
praise to the bravery OF the pirate Semmes,
and his crew. The Constitutional says, that
"from one end of France to the other, a feel
lag of profound regret prevails at the loss of
the vessel" The Liverpool Courier says,
"eyery fresh account of the fight goes TO
prove that the Kearsarge won the victory

much discussion ia the papers. The masses

A subscription paper is on foot to purchase

obtained is large, and includes among them
some OF the upper ten" No doubt a splen-
did yacht will be given him.

Duty of the City noxernmant

We enter complaint against the city gov
ernment in no querulous tone. In most re-
spects II admirably performs its various fune-
tons, and dischsl ges its numerous OBLIGATIONS
And SO far as the members of both Boards
are concerned, 1t is all done for no nav save
the rewatd OF good conscience, White as II
relates to the head of the government. in

But we submit, III all Kindness and candor.
If the government performs its whole duty
in the endeavor TO suppress the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors? The sale OF Intoxicating
drink, in any OF its multiplied forms. is utter
ly forbidden by law; aud yet the article il

gued. But ii argument In reference to any
were needed, it certainly cannot be to the
gentlemen composing the government of
Portland. They are 100 intelligent thus to
be addressed; and We assume that they have
the moral welfare OF the community too
much at heart wilfully to neglect a matter of
such vast Importance as this.
If rumseilIng were an incidental evil-if
indeed IL could be claSsed oaly with shop-lift-
ing, for example-then there might be some
possible excuse Tor this seeming indifference
But since 1t conisssediy lies at the root of

relation to the sale OF liquor? In 1853 the
people of Maine were legally called upon TO
say by open ballot whether the sale of intox-
cating liquors should be licensed or prohibit
ed; and the official record shows that SOP
votes were cast for license, while IS, 1854 were
thrown for prohibition. The vote in Cnm-

Anniversary Exercises of Bates College.
The anniversary exercises OF this institu-
ton opened on Sunday evening with an adj
dress before the Phillips Missionary Society,
by Rev. James L. Phillips of New York.
Mr.. Phillips is son of the missionary for
whom the society was named, was born in
India and came to this country to prepare
himself for missionary labor. He graduated
at Bowdoin College in 1860.
Mr. Phillips announced the subject of his
address to be "The Claims of the Missionary
Enterprise upon our Seminaries of Learning"
After noticing the progress OF the work since
William Carey began his labors, the speaker
proceeded to point ont the necessary ele-
ments for successful missionary and the
requirements Indispensable to progress, not
only on the part of those iu the field, but
of thoae who supply the necessary means
OF carrying on the Aork.
Much power and ability were displayed in
the manner in which the subject was treated
and in the split OF the delivery.
Rev. Mr.. WALKER's SERMON.
MdAidy Eoening.-The exercises of the an-
niversary week we're resumed Monday even
, Ing by sermon before the Students Chris
iian Union, from Rev. Geo. L. Walker, of
Portland.
Mr.. Walkers discourse had for its text,
2 Tim. 8. Is. That from child thou hast
known the holy scriptures which are able to
make thee wisesunto salvation" Words of
Paul to Timothy-the words of scholar,
containing a scholars view of he scriptures
The discourse was addressed to students, and
wherein the scriptures are especially spplca-
BILE to the wants, both spiritual and temporal of
students, was ably and clearly pointed out.
The Bible is the great source OF christian
knowledge. The Bible is applicable to our
age and all ages. The superiority of the
Jews to other races of antiquity, was owing
to their acquaintance with the word of God.
l. 1t has been power In the world, in
two particulars. 1. Education of mankind.
Where it has gone education has immmdiate-
ly followed. 2. 1t is promoter of liberty
and good government. But these are not the
chief ends of the Bible. These are subsidi-
AIRY to the great object for which it was de-
signed.
II. Another respect in which the Bible
may be considerable is book of memoir
ais; not only in the historical knowledge
contained in it, but in the historic associa-
tons connected with it, from the christian
era, through the dark aud middle ages, down
to the present tune.
III. 1t Is a book Of noble examples.
Examples are contained in it for every phase
OF life.
! ". The book for death. Where other
helpers fail, this is the guide on the sure path
way to heaven.
In concluding the various methods of study
ing aud investigating the scriptures were al
lnded to, and the speaker cautioned the men,
bers Of the association against reading in the
manner oitentimes adopted.
The discourse occupied about an hour and
quarter, and held the undivided attention OF
tle people till Its close. The ability of Mr..
Walker as an orator is well known to the read
ers of the Press, and any remarks here would
be superfuous. CAT-HANcE.
