DEMOCRATIC sTATEsMANsHIP
1t is thirteen years since the Republican party
was first called TO the administration OF the Ma.
tional Government. For more than thirty years
previously the GovernmeRtjhad been almost unn.
terruptly under Democratic control Ofthat con-
troll there IL hardly a memory left at which the
nation should not blush. Seemingly, it was In
spiIsd by but one ambition--the bad ambition TO
make our foreign policy as ignoble as our home
policy was shameless. Our intercourse with
powers weaker than ourselves was spirited
enough We bullied Austria out OF q Hungarian
refugee. We despoiled Mexico OF a portion of
her territory. We demolished Greytown. We
linged millions in the ears of Spain as a lure for
Cuba, and the brbs was spurned.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

We are informed by the reports of the Council
proceedings that the Water Department propose
TO commence at once the erection of new basin
that is estimated to cost $500 900 and will uire
three years TO build. This work is not neces sary
now and We regard 1t as The greatest folly to com
nance it. Why commence ii now just before an
important city election Should the Council be
chsnged In political complexion 1t most probably
would not be commenced for two or three years
There is no actual necessity for it, and may not
he for ten years to come. LOOK at the cost of
this work during the next len years. In all that
time, il it goes on, taxes will have 10 be laid and
collected for the interest," and by the time we will
want the works, if we ever want them, we will
have paid just about $500 $50 in interest alone,
thus making i cost US, at the end of that time,
s6Oo,000.
We are told that the new pump will raise into
our present basins, each day, 100000 gallons OF
water. This is just about double the amount we
use per day, If in ten years the city increased
10000 1t would still furnish more than days
supply; in addition to that we still have the Cor
nish pump and the water wheel pump, two ex-
cellent and reliable pumps that can furnish US
with as much water as we can use each day

CHEAP GOVERNMENT.
The story Of our home rule would be ssdder
still, if anything sadder could be.
1t has been loudly yaunted thai those were
cheap ADMINISTRATIONS. Compared with the
Expenditures or tt,se times they were cheap,
very cheap. Compared with their worth TO
the country, they were probably the most profi-
gate the world ever saw. They cost the people
from $50. 100000 10 $75 900 900 per annum.
Those millions maintained for rs the empty
pageant we called Government Ii was The
worst pageant that could be con'rived. II was
not even shosy; it was vulgar. 1t had all the
features of a Government, but without its
faculties. There were three regular organs
Legislative, Executive and Judicial. There
was a constant succession Of Congresses, Presi-
dents, and courts. The courts, OF course we're
useful in hearing and determining private
But what is there 10 show from
the labors of the political departments? IL
seemed 10 be the sole end. il not the sole aim
of Governmentt to collect money enough yearly
to pay ITSELF II did not always succeed in
doing that, as many loan bills enacted in times
of profound peace still bear witness. Indeed
thai party was particularly embarrassed in the
of revenue. 1t dared not levs tax
except upon the impor taton Of a foreign con-
modify and it always dreaded 10 tax the i'm
portation OF foreign commodity lest it might
nnwittngly promote some domestic industry.
No welI-educated Democrat could tolerate
such result. 30 deficient revenues were from
lime time aided by loans Such was the case
