A Gritty American Consul.

The authorities at Tangier, Morocco,
were lately treated to a sample of Yankee
grit in a manner which almost rivals
Commodore Rodgers's lively times with
the basha of Tunis in 1905. Tangier has
lately been blessed with new basha,

been brought into contact with Christians
Desiring to transport some goods, he pro.
ceeded to attach all the camels in port,
among others, some belonging to citizens
of different Christian nations. The
Italian consul applied for the restoration
of two camels belonging to an Italian sub
ject. and the request was granted. The
British aud American representatives fol.
lowed suit, when the basha refused, and e.,
Oh being reminded that he had already
granted the same request to the Italian
consul, exclaimed why, you consuls are
ike so many monkeys whatever one
does, all the rest must do !" The British
consul declined to notice the insult, but
the blood Of Col f. A. Matthews, the
American consul-gencral, was up at once,
and he gave the basha half days time
to apologize in person, or he would haul
down the United States flag and cross to
Gibralter, there to await the orders of his
government. At three o'clock the basha

trict court in Salt Lake City, Friday
morning, by Judge Foreman. The court
previously ordered that the defendant
should appear in person in court when
the decision was rendered, but affidavits
from two physicians were sworn to- stat.
ing that the defendant was scarcely able
to be out Of bed, and that it was danger.
GUS for him to leave his room, and for
that reason they asked to be excused.
The Court gave brief history of the
case granting alimony pendente Hte,which
is not an improper mode and stands un.

its orders to be repudiated, disregarded

of the court that defendant be imprisoned

The Water Supply.

me water supply.
The question of the present cxpcdiency
Of securing water supply for the viii
lage is now the absorbing subject of dis
cusson in this place. There can be but
one opinion as to the value to the town
Of an abundant supply of water suitable
for the purposes for which it is desired.
Its value u.s. FIRST, as a protection against
the ravages Of fire, and secondly, for use
in our houses and other purposes. IF
water suitable for use in our houses can
be obtained by this proposed method, its
value to our place would much more than
balance the sum suggested as the amount
necessary to furnish it, And granting
that it is all right in that respect, and
that, as a measure of public policy, its
advantages would much more than coun.
terbaance its disadvantages, yet we must
admit that this is not the only considera.
ton to be taken into account. There are
individual interests which ought not to
be ignored. 1t is tolerably apparent
that a majority OF our citizens, upon
whom rests most heavily the weight Of
all public expenditures, feel that such an
addition to their burdens, at this time.
would be almost intolcrable. Suppose
there were numerical majority Of the vo-
tiers in a condition that the burden would
not rest heavily upon them, it would be
scarcely RICH. for them to press the meas.
ure if it would be oppressive TO the
others. Whether it would be 80 or not is
proper matter for discussion Then
again, it is claimed that the amount OF
pipe to be laid, included in the proposed
contract, would afford the protection and
luxury to. only portion Of the people,
while all would be required to pay. OF
course that would not be even Justice,
and it is a matter for careful considora.
ton whether the expense necessary to
carry the advantages Of the water supply
to the remoter parts of the village would
not reach to figures which would Brighten
even the most sangnine. Then returns
the alternative Of the question, whether
the water of our river is such as we wish
to use in our houses. OF its present i'm.
pure condition there is but one opinion.
Can it be SO filtered as to be rendered
wholesome and desirable? If not, the
value of the water works would be con.
fined to the security they afford against
fire. For this purpose alone, it might
benefit the village enough to justify the
expense. And yet, could not the end be
attained with less expense and in way
to be less burdensome? 1t is not q mat.
ter to be undertaken without careful con.
sideraton, and every possible plan should
be canvassed. AS for instance, might
not three or four pumps be placed in
connection with as many mills; three or
ivui hyI.~..s l~.>..i 50 a~~h positions nc
to readily command the more exposed pc.
sitions hose procured aud the whole put
under the control Of the fire department
While We bolievo in some sort of water
works as matter of public policy, it
seems desirable to canvass all the posi-
bilities and adopt that plan which seems
most feasible, and most conducive to the
ends sought,
