OF the Waterworks of New Orleans with a
view OF reducing the city Indebtedness, as
we'll as to get the works placed upon a first
class footing as to capacity. etc. IT such is
the case, aud the city would give us u fifty
year lease We would take hold at once and
reorganize and rearrange the whole eys-
tenn. We would build new maohin-
cry, new reservoirs, lay additional
pipe, 80 as to give the whole city
bountiful supply OF pure we'll settled and
clear water for all public and private uses.
we would rearrange the present system so
that water would be taken to the ton stories
OF your highest hotels and houses. We
would build settling reservoirs and tiltering
arrangements so that when completed you
would never have any muddy water, and
always bountiful supply. We have lust
completed magnificent system of water
works in this city, owned and operated by
this company. costing 81, 100000.

All kinds of materials entering into the
construction OF waterworks are cheaper
now than they will be for years again,
therefore, prompt action is desirable in the
premises.
Awaiting your favors I am, yours truly,

Says a Wsshington correspondents of the
Chicago Tribune:
The attempts to discredit the statements
in these dispatches relative to the discovery
of an extensive system of illicit distilation
will be unsuccessful. Further details can
not now be given, on account Of the secrecy
necessary to the success of the operations
of the Treasury Department, but the state
ments of these dispatches have been true,
and were derived from the highest sources.
The investigation has not been limited TO
few men, but has been conducted by large
number of confidential agents in all parts
of the country. 1t can also be authorfta-
lively stated that Commissioner Douglass
was removed tor lax administration. 1t
come to the knowledge OF Secretary Bris-
tow some time since that D large number
Of charges of fraud in specific cases were
on file in the office OF the commissioner Ut
internal revenue, and We're not acted upon.
The Secretary, without the knowledge of
the commissioner, made personal examina-
ton OF these cases, and became Convinced
that there was no excuse for having them
pigeon-hOled.
Accordingly the matter was brought to
the attention of the President, who decided
upon change. The change was deter
mined upon the last of March, but the
arrangement for the succession was nor
fully completed. Commissioner Douglass
had requested that he might be permitted
to remain in office until the close OF the
present fiscal year, ending June 3D. This
request has been denied, and he will be
to retire upon the arrival of his
successor Pratt is expected here about
May Is. 1t was impossible to comply with
Douglass request, since, when the tender
was made to Pratt, he was asked 10 appoint
the time when he could take the office.
Pratt chose the fifteenth instant.
J. A. Rhomberg, OF Dubuque, the dis
tiller against whom the government is pro-
ceeding for $75O, 900, arrived here tonight.
Several large distillers have arrived here,
disturbed by the stories about the whisky
ring. The detective operations have been
conducted so secretly that no revenue
officers are permitted to know anything OF
them.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
merely desire to say few words in replv
to BIB, and, as far al am concerned. end the
matter. 1t would have been vel, if RR
had dived a little deeper into algebra before
ne came out with suoh an announcement
as "BB plus Y equals BE-"
BIB, like Y. seems to overlook the fact that
tho special columns for births in 1874 and
Tor all over six years of ago leads to the
inference that all under are to be excluded.
Again, ask why the births of 1874, with a
foot note, 80 that we don't overlook it, The
fact Is the whole thing is designed to perplex,
and ia not we'll calculated to draw out the
Information its sponsors seem DESTROYS of
getting.

tcians of the city" for its parents, the Door
thing is to be pitied. 1t reminds one of the
old adage about the cooks and the broth.
Marshal Packard could have furnished one
of the old United States blanks that might
have rendered some service.
All that the law requires is an enumera-
ton of the total population. That being
accomplished, let those complain that will.
My original complaint was that it did
not seem to me that the blank was pre-.
pared in such . manner as to accom- plish
that end. still think so. 1t must be
borne in mind that there is a vast differ
ernce between leaving blanks at peoples
houses for them to fill up and sending
around an intelligent officer to take down
the facts. Tho people who know that BIB
plus Y equals BE are not numerous
Registration records of this State shows q
large number who can not write or even
read. How are they to fill up the blank or
know what to do with i.9
1t has been usual with governments when
taking a census of the people to gather q
mass Of Information alike valuable to the
the statesman, the statistician
and the public at large, while tho additional
cost is but tritiing. Evidently no such
views ever entered the model of BIB, for
says he:
The primary object of the census being
to make it the basis of an apportiOnment OF
in the General Assembly of
the State, it would be interesting to know
what bearing, the number of married and
single, has upon the end to be attained.
Upon the same principle might reply. E'it
would be interesting to know what bearing
the sex, age, color and ability to write has
upon the end to be attained" Even the
Board of Health, with the aid Of the most !
ststisticians of the city. would
be puzzled to know what bearing the |
of who has had the yellow fever |
has upon the apportionment OF the repro.
in the General Assembly. Does |
a man or woman who has had the yellow
fever count for more or less than INIT in |
the general enumeration of the people |
Now let all the rest of the letters of the /
alphabet reply. But don't all speak at
Dice. @. B.
