In fact there is nothing in

1t is our purpossIbere simply to
remind J. R. G. Pifkin that he has
not always considered Governor
Warmoth bad man and the Ad-
ministration q failure, his assertion

withstanding. It is but few
months ago he induced Admins
traitor Shaw to call upon His Excel
lency, and seek a burial of the war
like Ratchet. He then declared a
full recognition Of his own political
blunders. pronounced Governor
Warmoth's Administration a sue

considered one of its staunch friends
and supporters. A second time Mr..

| Il take this occasion of saying, further,
that measures should 1T once be adopted
for the improvement and extension Of the
City Water Works. My great desire is to
ave the Water Works to the city, and to
extend and improve them, and such I'M
ierstand to be the object of the Admins
trntor of Water Works, and of those who
voted with him in favor Of the Water
Works ordinance, No city in this country
has allowed its Water Works to pass into
the hands of private corporation. The
water which the people drink should not
be made o matter of speculation and prof.

air We breathe, and should be as free and
untrammelled. 1t ought to be easily ac-
cessible TO all at the cheapest possible
rate" 'NE f',. ~ 50 .ufH
