AMONG the present needs Of this cit.

AMONG the present needs oil this CITY,
some i'm provement Of the water works
is not the least important. Our peo-
ple seldom realize their dependence ups
on the stesdiuess and constancy OF the
supply OF hydraut water, and seldom
reflect upon the terrible results that
would follow the .toppage of the water
supply for even single day. The res
eryoir now in use does not hold much
more than one days supply, If that
much, and the etoppage Of the pumps
for tweuty-four hours would stop every
manufacturing establishment in
the city aud bring some
degree OF suffering or IN
convenience to every household. Such
an event is by no means impossible, and
indeed it can scarcely be classed as i'm
proJaJIs, when the present condition Of
the water.works is considered. Com
mittees OF Council have repeatedly
called attention to the daily risk that Is
incurred, but as yet no very decided
steps have been taken 10 put the works
in better condition or avert the danger.
Something should be done at once; be-
fore the occurrence OF the accident
which may at any time deprive the city
Of its supply Of water.
Gentlemen who have made personal
inspection Of the present condition OF the
works say that the expenditure OF
about s75 900 will furnish all the inn
proven ents that are needed now or are
likely to be needed in this respect for
twenty years to come. A new pumping
engine must be purchased aud put IN
place; the reservoir must be enlarged i;
and some repairs must be made to the
watersworks building. 1t is believ-
ed that these Improvements are
necessary NOW, and that they are
all that are necessary to Put the water
departme emit in safe and efficient trim.
Certainly in a matter OF 60 much inn
portauce there should be 70 hesitation
or delay. Let US guard against such a
disaster as the stoppsge Of the works
would inevitably inflict; let us, to use a
homely and forcible adage, flock the
stable before the horse is stolen What
say you, gentlemen OF the council?

Editors Of the Register.
Az Others are free to give their opin-
ions about the late decision Of Con.
eress in favor Of the August Election,
I give mine, asking . plain question.
OF course I do not support Congress in
ito partisan acts that have polluted the
fair fame OF our country for year,, but
have, as an American sovereign should
have, political charity, and endorse all
truth it matters not where it comes
from. I make it a point not to look
through onesided political spectacles'
for they will prejudice and blind the
better judgment Of any man. Congress
erred in deciding in favor OF the Aus
gust Election, for it should have refer
red the matter back TO the people, but
the error is nearer the truth than II 1t
had endorsed the October election; the
August Election, as it stood before
Congress, represented the spirit OF our
institutions; the October Election the
letter, and both the letter and the spirit
of our institutions should be carried out
BY Congress to make truth; but the
question is which Is the nearest to the
truth, the spirit or the letter. think u
Congress bad never committed great
.r national Gin than endorsing the Au'
gust Election, our country would be II

AmeFIcau Iron,

BY the annual report Of the American
Iron and Steel Association We are in
formed OF q fact that has not been made
public before, that the capacity of the
American iron works is now equal to
an annual product OF five millions OF
tons, which lie one million beyond any
previously published statement. 1t is
also notable that preceding statements
have estimated the regular American
consumption at four millions OF tons |;
90 that if this were correct the produc-
ing capacity would be equal TO the
whole domestic consumption, and would
leave . surplus of one million for ex-
port. As the importation OF foreign
IRON has fallen off heavily in the last
three years, the force oil the present
statement seems to be that the home
market has no need of foreign supplies.
But as there are special qualities OF
Scotch, Swedish aud Russian iron that
are deemed useful in the process OF in
dustry the import will continue, though
90 a reduced scale. Meantime the two
iu portant points now presented by the
report that it is essential that the great
forward railroad movement should be
reorgauized aud Get in motion again,
and that our surplus ptoduct must be
exported This is the policy we have
ourselves been advocating. We may
mere add that we believe the progress OF
arts in the republic 10 90 great that the
consumption OF iron and steel can be
advanced as rapidly as the production,
il the operations Of the trade, as is now
proposed, shall be conducted systenat'
ically and with determined resolution
to occupy the feld at all hazards. and
to aid in creating business rather than
in waiting for it-Philadelphia North

Desperate Convict Escapes from the

Three years and four months ago an incorrgible
thlel named Rudolph Pachud, then only twenty
years OF age. was removed from the scene OF his
depredatlons in Hoboken to the Hudson
County Jail. He was convicted OF the crime OF
grand larceny, and sentenced to five years in the
Pententlary. He had not been there one week
when he gave trouble to his Keepers. For this he
was subjected to punishment and he made open
threats that he would get "evenu with his Keepers

not be baiiied. He escaped on that very day, but
was pursued by Mr.. " arren, the warden, and cap

bOasted that he would never serve his time out
AS long as Mr.. Warren renamed in office he was
closely watched, but when change in the ad-

weeks ago he entered into second conspiracy
with three prisoners to secure the escape, not
merely OF themselves, but of the entire inmate es.
they succeeded In breaking hole through the wall,

the cells. over this hole piece OF white paper
was placed to delude the keepers. The plot would
