THE Rep and Rep, Jim Saxton's1
organ, is out again against the Wa
ter Works. Last week the organ
wanted Trustees elected, as If the
committee and the council were not
sufleient.tomanage the construction,
which, up to this tfne said the Rep
last week, has been sjudiclous.p
Saxton probably hopes by some
trustee maaOeuQre to get greater in
fiuenee toD embarras or stop entirely
the enterprise. Mr.. Saxton we be-
Iieve, at one time, was earnestly In
favor OF tile work, but efter falling
to have it let out asa private enter
prise, like the gas works, (Which by
the way II IS no trustees, but perhaps
ought to have tool he suddenly be-
came adyt rse. Hence the whirli-
gig OF the Rep and Rep.
The Rep and Rep mares nest this
week is that, Mr.. Schaefer, in a re-
port made May 1868 only estimated
the cost OF the works at about aity
thousand dollars. This was before
the matter had been looked into at
all, before actual survey and esti-
mates wero made or plans adopted.
But we contend AIr. Schaeier was
not materially out Of the way after
all. His estimate. was merely. to
bring the water into the city in a L
inch pipe, and without the HOLY
force plan which then was ne'
known.
We will say the city council, Mr.
Schaefer included, expect to provide
by ordinance, at no distant day, fol
the election Of trustees of the water
works. The desire is however tC
get the enterprise so far advanced
| and completed that there will be nc
danger of them being gobbled up by
any Of our land sharks. It should
be remembered that trustees of the
works would have to be paid, each
from 50 to IS q day and the commit,
tee charge nothing. Let our citi'
zens' consider these things and tor
get not the secret motive of this
hostile movement. -aoH 81 y

- THE Laird Brothers, in lengthy
card recently published, Iisake as
clear a case as can well be put, in
their defence. How many ship
owners in this country would refuse
to build iron clads. and sacrifice
their personal gain, where it was
distinctly settled it would not be In
eontravention to international law {?
We see it announced that a mum Der
OF vessels are now building for the
insurgents In Cuba to war with a
power with which we are at peace.
The Lairds say;
But in 1864 other questions had
arisen as to the rights OF neutral5
and belligerCnts, which rendered it
apparent that q strict Interpretation
OF the existing law would not satisfy
those whose interests were affected, d,
and in that year we declined to ac-
cept an order to build a large iron
clad vessel for an agent of the Con-
federate government, although one
condition Of the contract was TO have
been that the ship should not be de-
Hvered until the conclusion OF the
war. The cost, however, was 10 be
paid to US by instAlments, in such Q
way, and so secured as to make it
for US a perfectly safe and profitable
commercial tranGaotion, and we
were advised by the best authority
that there was nothing in our mu'
nicipal or international law to pre-
vent us taking the contract Our
private gain here was willingly sac
rificed, because we felt that the
complications that had arisen in
reference-to neutral and belligerent
rights, strict Interpretation of the
law might tend to aggravate the
then existing differences between this
country and the American Govern
ment, and had there been the same
feeling on the subject In 1861, the
Alabama would not have been built
by us. '
