Water Works.

Springfield, Illinois, with popula-
ton less than our own city, By several
thousands, Ills constructing water
works. at a cost of three hundred
thousand dollars. Evansville can
not possibly do without water works
many more years; and it seems strange
to US that differences of opinion and
little jealousies should prevent the
commencement of work. of snch SUI
perlative necessity Our manufactur-
ing establishments are now liable, at
any moment, to stop for want of water.
The supply is small and very preca-
rious The least accident may throw
hundreds of mechanics out of employ
ment and seriously damage the trade
of the city. Yet, with this fact staring
everybody in the face, we go on de-
pending upon the rain and a very un-
certain ditch to sustain life and keep
up our manufacturing interests. Such
policy is suicidal. 1t does not
equal the foresight of the stupid
animal spoken of by Esop, who was
found whetting his tusks in time of
peace that he might be prepared for
war. Had a plan been agreed upon
last Spring, as ought to have been
done, portion of the work might be
by this time, and two more
years, at best, would have seen our
city amply supplied with excellent
water.
We trust that another summer will
not be permitted to pass without the
great work being commenced. The
gigantic Chicago Tunnel has been
constructed while we have been talk
ing about water-works, and the me-.
cessities of Chicago are but little
greater than our own. We are fear
full that the coming season will wit
ness the closing of some of our manu-
factories for want of water. to keep
their engines in motion. In case the
canal exceeds public expectation and
keeps up the supply next Summer, it
is evident that it must fail within a
year or two at the farthest. Why
not, then, prepare something to take
its place when it fails, that the hum
Of our wheels and the clatter of our
hammers may never cease?

less, be one of the most interesting

and seem indisposed to accept the
situation as indicated by the decline
in prices East. The Cincinnati Ga
zette of last week reported the best
leaf lard at twelve and half cents.
Yet our retailers ask as high as
eighteen and twenty cents.
The Gazette, also, charges the gro
Gerry men of Cincinnati with keeping
coffee at 4Oc per pound, which is
bought from the wholesale men at 25
cents, and that correspondingly ex-
tortionate rates are charged for sugar
and tea. We can hardly, think, that
our grocery men are doing tho sextor-
tionate business charged upon the re-
tail grooers sof Cincinnati. On the
contrary, we believe majority of
them are disposed to live and let live.
Prompt to avail themselves of every
advance in the market when goods
were going up, we presume they
will as promptly and good naturally
mark down their goods now that
prices are on the decline. 4
But there is no doubt that con-
sumerswill have to look after their
own interests. 1t. is not human ma
ture to sell goods at less than they
cost, although it is quite natural to
charge double for them if an advance
in the market seems to justify it.
Combinations on small scale will
go long ways to regulate the evil of
high prices Three or four families,
by combining their resources, may
purchase their meats, groceries, and
vegetables on mere reasonable terms
than if, singly, they depend upon those
who are interested in keeping prices
up. fisl
That. there must be very general
decline in all kinds of commodities
every one seems to realize. It is wise,
then, for every intelligent man and
woman to so shape their affairs as to
conform to the new arrangement with
as little loss as. possible. There can
not be a general decline without
every body apparently losing some
thing, though if there is not
a panic and the prices decline
gradually, relatively nearly every
body will be as well off as before.
But if consumers pay no attention to
the markets, and patiently wait for
those who furnish them supplies to
voluntarily bring down the prices, we
apprehend many of them will find
their funds running low, without so
much as hearing that things have
come down. At least they will never
hear it with the suddenness that they
formerly were notified that things
has riz.

Decline in Prices.

During the past six weeks there
has been heavy decline in prices; a
fact that some dealers are slow to
comprehend. The people may rest
assured. that they will be unable to
see the decline so long as they can
obtain the old prices. With the ex-
ception, perhaps, of -four, every arti-
Gle of food has declined from twenty
to twenty five per cent. In meats and
vegetables, in particular, there has
been large decline. How many of
the consumers in Evansville have
made the discovery by the decrease
in their butchers bills? Our meat
market still quotes beef at 15cents
per pound, when cut up, although the
beef does not cost the butchers as
much by three or four cents per pound
as 1t did ten months ago. We learn,
however, thatSgood hind quarters of
beef-weressold SIN market, on. Satur-
day last at seUen cents per pound.
This was reasonable enough. Fam
lilies will do well to club together and
buy their beef by the quantity, rather
than, to pay fifteen cents per pound
for the luxury of having it cut in
pieces to suit. In pork there has
been considerable decline. In lard.
