How Will They Do TIP

At the meeting of the water board last
evening, ION motion of Commissioner But
Ter it was ordered that the Superintendent
of the water works is hereby directed to
require all service pipes to be laid at least
five feet below the surface" How is this to
be done, where the mains are only three
feet below the surface? On Madison street
the main, as it nears Orleans, is laid on an
inclined plane, rising from six foot trench
to the main at Orleans, and a valve box
has been put 10 near Orleans, which looks
as though the Orleans main was not to be
lowered. The top of the Madison street
main, near Orleans must, of course, come
up to the Orleans street main,
and as neither are only about three
feet below the surface, how is
it possible to comply with Com'r Buffers
motion unless the main is lowered? 1t is
said that the Orleans street main is not te
be lowered because it did not freeze-but
the fact that the Superintendent had Z
hole dug at that point and found it froze
and kept the hole open, there, for some
weeks. looks as though it did freeze II
Com'r Butler had made his motion to con
form to the mains it would have beer
practicable. As it is it cannot be complied
with in all cases.

Republican congressman VIM. A.
Wheeler, of New York, publishes letter
approving the act which his Republican
colleague on the New Orleans committee
w, 2. Frye of Maine, denounced as dis
honorable-to wit: the reinstating of four
members of the Louisiana legislature
whom nobody denied to have been elected
to its membership. Mr.. Wheeler says, in
two and half columns, this much
These four men being legally entitled to
their seats and having done nothing to
forfeit them, their reinstatement was an
act of simple justice which all fully un-
'derstandlng the facts must approve
1t will thus be perceived that there are
Republicans who are willing to stick to the
terms of their bargain not to persist in re-
cheating Louisiana out of her election of
representatives provided she will submit
till after the Presidential election to stay
cheated out of her election of governor.
The honorable Mr.. Wheeler insists that
Republican infamy is no worse than that,

At the opening of the session of our
