Is financially strong, and if
our city will engage to pay, say one
third the cost of the works in cash,
we do not doubt but that the company
will cheerfully accept city bonds bear
ing ten per cent. interest, for the re-
naming two-thirds, on the condition
that the revenue of the works be ap-
piled towards paying the interest on
the bonds. We hope, that an ef-
fort, at least, will be made ia
this direction. That a good system
Of water works, properly managed will
pay a handsome dividend, everybody
believes, indeed the State law recog-
nizes at least eleUen and a halt per
cent. as a fair return on investments
in water works, and provides for pri-
vate corporations, organized under
the law, to secure that amount. There
is no reason why the city could not
realize q handsome revenue from
water works, as she has from the
wharf, which is increasing in value
every year.
We hope our friends in the council
will ascertain what can be done with
the Holly Water Works Company. a
an early day. The subject ought no
to be postponed.

Water Works.

The resolution adopted by the Re
publican Convention on Saturday
evening marks out the true policy of
the city with reference to the con
struction of Water Works. As early
IS the fourth of March. long before
the Courier had made up its mind
what sideI to take on this question:
the JOURNAL contained the following
editorial paragraph on this subject:
We trust our Council will take this
matter into consideration. We be-
Iieve a proposition submitted to the
people in favor of the city investing
two hundred or two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in water works.
would be approved by them by
a very large majority. We r conf
dent that they would prefer that the
city provide the supply of water, and
enjoy the revenue arising from the
same, In privileges upon any company
of capitalists, which might be organ
lied for such purpose.
Nothing has since occurred to
change u opinion, and the passage
ola resolution by the Republicans
on Saturday night to the same effect,
shows that we expressed the opinion
and wish of the Republicans of the
city, on this point.

City Council to make a satisfactory
contract with the Holly Water Works
Company. for the completion of q

LOOK Ahead.

u AVOA AANHAe
From the Philadelphia Ledger.l
Put money in thy purse" is sound
wisdom, as we'll as poetry. For the
last eight years people have been
watching the fluctuations in the value
of the paper which represented money
In all the actual business and wants
of life. But there is n feature OF
the printed paper of which neither
bulls or bears could deprive it:
1t was always a necessity, and money
or its representative, always viii be;
and whatever may be its market value
on the street" it will always buy
more or less Of the n~ecessaries of life.
Nothing can take the place of money
in this respect. 1t is always con
vertible into meat and drink and
clothes, and that is what car be said
of no other article. For purposes
of speculation having an uncertain"
value, for practical use it is always
certain. The aim Of every prudent
man then should be always TO have
on hand a reserve of this " universal
solvent" IF money aactuates in its
nominal price or purchasing power.
everything else fuctuates too; and
probably the thing called money Is
more stable In its value than anything
else. Employment may be inter-
rupted by illness or by changes.
Goods bought and paid for may be-
come .unmarketable. But money is
always in request, and is never out of
season. Therefore, as we have said,
it should be the effort Of every man,
whatever be his income, to live with
In it, and thus to guard against the
contingency, which may come to
anybody, Of being for awhile without
an Income.
It is curious how almost universal
is indifference to this precaution.
Even successful business men are
prone to lock up their accommodations
In extended business projects and va
rious other ways, some of them quite
unproductive, leaving themselves act
ually without immediate resources, il
by any means their income is inter
rupted. Many a bad bargain is
forced upon those who are compelled
to realize, when if they had the power
they would wait. The into
which poor rich men" are thus driv-
en- show that the course of trade as
well as the march of time brings Its
revenges. Rich men as well as poor
are pushed for money"
Yet. while with the rich this is an
inconvenience, with the poor. OF with
those who live from day to day. to be
straitened for money is a difficulty
and may amount to misery. There
are some people who have the sagaci-
ty to foresee, and foreseeing, to allie
viate the trouble. And this they dc
in the way we have indicated. by
keeping always within the limits o.
their receipts while they are receiv
ing anything, and putting aside the
surplus where it can be reached IN the
time of necessity. IL to do this could
become common, the burden Of pow.
erty upon the poor and the burden oil
the support of those too poor to hell
themselves would be very much di'
minished.

The Three Remedies. "SCHENCH's PUf-

icine rtpens the ulcers in The lungs, pro.

thus cures Consumption, when every other
remedy fails.
"Schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the
cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and ali
diseases arising from debility. This tonic
~invigorates the digestive organs, supplies
the place of the gastric juice when that is
deficient, and then enables the patient to
digest the most nutricious food. 1t is q
sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ton.

most valuable medicines ever discovered,
being a vegetable substitute for calOmel,

In Good SnirIts.


The Republicans, yesterday, were
in most excellent spirits I'VE the re-
suit of the Convention on Saturday
evening. The ticket nominated seems
to give universal satisfaction, and the
feeling everywhere prevailed that it
would be elected by a handsome ma
iority. It only remains for the mem
bers of the party to do their duty to
make the assurance of succe doubly
sure. The candidates in the various
Wards are good men. Their election
will save the city from the rulnous IT,
n~ancial policy ~inaugurated in 1865,
which, had it been repeated lest
year, would have bankrupted the city.
Indeed the united efforts of some of
the shrewdest inanciers in the city,
members of the present Council, were
required last year, to change the in
debtedness heaped upon them by the
preceding Council. and convert it in
to long time bonds, bearing a low rate
Of interest. The present Council
will go out of office, leaving the af-
fairs of the city in good condition
IF the people desire to pe%rpetuate the
policy inaugurated by them, they will
elect the Republican candidates. If,
on the contrary, they desire to return
to the reckless and ruinous policy of
1868, they will elect a Democratic
Council. 1t is for them to choose
between the two.

LAST spring we had a sample of
New York politics. in the manner in

seems this year. that the Second Ward
Republicans have to contend with
New York and Boston politics com
bined. with a Boosting man. as chief
fugleman. The Bosting man, though
a recent importation, proposes to
show us how the Democracy do things
way deown East" IF the Republi-
cans of the Second Ward do their
whole duty, they viii show the
Boosting mann a trick worth two
of his, by sending some of his i'm
portations-in case they should take
the oaths necessary to enable them
to vote-where they will learn good
trades. The Bostipg man is, no
doubt, ripe for treason, %stratagems
and spoils, but his employment shows
that the Democracy found ripper ma
terials scarce. AS sensible politi-
clans, they would not select a baby
face" however INSCRIPTIONS might
be its possessor, to do what required
sagacity and skill. if a man possessing
these qualities, could have beenfound
mean enough to undertake the job.

No RaIIrOads Affect Climate?

[From the New York Evening Post.l
In his great work on Man and
Nature" Mr.. George p. Marsh treat
ed chiefly OF the injuries which man
does by his so-called Improvements, +"
which too often more properly de-
serve to be called "neglects." He
showed how the iDjudicious destrRe-
tions of forests produces droughts
and destructive floods; how useful
animals are extirpated by what we
call the progress of civilization; how
large tracks of country become amin
habitable, the prey to malarious dis
eases, through the ignorance and
ruthlessness of mans devastation
how harbors r destroyed, rivers
closed, coast lines changed, through
mans inconsiderate interposition
and how the curse of improvement
is too often a track of costly destruc-
ton.
It would be strange if there were
another side of this question; and it,
still Inadvertently, some of the works
of mankind, some of their greatest
achievements, should have other ben.
eicial results than those for which
they were designed.
Is it possible that our railways and
telegraph lines may effect tho climate
of the regions through which they
pass? A writer in the Boston Trav-
eIer says of this:
The opinion seems to be gaining
strength that the Pacific Railroad is
working q great change in the climate
of the plains. Instead of continuous
drouphts all along the railroad rain
now falls in refreshing abundance.
The result has been remarked upon
in other sections of the West.
In Central Ohio, for example,
it is said the climate has been com
/ pletely revolutionized since iron rails
have formed a network all over that
region. Instead of the destructive
droughts formerly suffered there, for
some four or five years there has been
rain in abundance, even more than
enough to satisfy all the wants of the
farmers. This change is thought
to be the result of an equilibrium pro-
duced in the electrical currents, which
has brought about more uniform dis
pensation of the rain. It is a fact,
within the observation CT all who
remember nti.railroad times, that
we we have now few or no such
thunder storms as we formerly had In
New ENGLAND. The iron rails which
touch and cross each other in every
direction serve as conductors and
cqualiZers of the electric currents.

sions which used to terrify us In for

which accompany the iron rails every
where also act an important part in
difusing electricity through the at
mosphere, thus preventing the occur
rences of severe storms"
How strange it would be if the
iron roads with which we are crossing
and cr~iss-crossing the continent
should in the end do something more
than enable US to move more rapidly
from place to place; should, by some
unthought Of influence, improve the
climate and fertility of the great re-
gions? It does not seem probable
but is anything impossible nowadaysI

1T is extensively announced In the
Democratic papers of the Northwest
that the Hon. d. w. Voorhees, is pre-
pairing a speech, which he will go to
Indiana to deliver, and which is to
utterly demolish Senator Morton. If
this speech does not attract much at
tention, it will not be because it is not
we'll advertised. His opportunities
for demolishing the Senator have
been excellent for the last ten years,
but it seems he has postponed his
effort until now for the sake of con-
venience, or on account of the wealth
err. A dispatch from this city to a
Philadelphia paper states the startling
fact hal his speech will consume two
hours in the delivery; another, to a
paper in Cincinnati, that it will be
thorough, exhaustive and oyerwhelm-
ing, which will certainly be a new fea-
ture in the speeches of the honorable
gentleman. The Senator, we under
stand, is still attending to his business
in the Senate as usual. which is GER
