THE CONSERVATIVE SPEAKER.

1t is reported that in the Conservative Cau-
Gus yesterday the subject Of the Speakership
of the House was un Ter consideration. The
impression has hitherto prevailed that Mr..
Wilt, who was the unanimous Conservative
choice for Speaker when elected January 4th,
who has twice offered to resign that position
into the hands Of the Caucus, who twice unan-
imously requested him to withdraw the offer,
and who has presided over tho many and pro-
longed Caucus meetings in January and Feb
rusry to the entire satisfaction Of that body,
would, as matter of course, be again chosen
Speaker in the event Of the reorganization Of
the House. The fact is now developed that
number of the Caucus friends Of adjust
ment or compromise favor other candidates
more acceptable to Kellogg, his sustainers
and the President
Without the least desire to interfere with
any portion of the movement Of which We
have emphatically and very often disaPproved
from its inception until this hour, We can
only express our surprise that in the process
of adjustment it IS thought necessary to sac
riice an honorable and very worthy officer
for the sake OF putting in his place member
less obnoxious to political enemies. To fol-
low the dictates Of Grant and his Louisiana

THE LEASE OR SALE OF TIE WATER
WORKS.

The proposition for the long lease OF the
Water Works, in exchange for bonds and other
claims against the city, meets with more and
more favor from day to day. The fact is be-
ginning to be realized that the debt Of the
city is greater than the property of taxpayers
is capable Of bearing, and this fact, in proper
ton as it is known and felt, causes thinking
citizens to look about them for remedy
That something is to be done, and that soon,
is evident to all who know that the city can
not pay the interest ON her bonds and at the
same time meet other just and indispensable
claims. Legislative relief, in the form of per-
mission to suspend payment of interest, is
only postponement Of an evil, and not its
cure.
In such situation any plan for reducing
the debt deserves thoughtful consideration.
It is believed that the Water Works could be
leased for thirty years for at least four million
dollars in city bonds, which would cost to the
lessees about one million six hundred thou
sand dollars, or at the average rate Of forty per
cent, and that they could be sold for much
larger sum, the purchasers agreeing not to
exceed the present water rates. The Water
Works cost to the city now o large sum in
excess Of receipts, perhaps an average of fifty
thousand per annum. This and the saving of
interest on the Cancelled bonds would reduce
the city's expenditures three hundred and
thirty thousand dollars per annum, without
loss, expense or Inconvenience to citizens,
and with better prospect of improvement,
extension and efficient administration.
This is not subject for the indulgence of
impracticable theories. The Water Works
property is source of loss rather than profit
to the city corporation, and it promises to be-
more and more SO as machinery and pipes
wear or rust out. The city can lease or sell
it, without injury to citizens. She can get
for it price or rent larger than at any other
time, owing to the extraordinary depreciation
Of her securities Why should she not sell
that which she does not need, and which is
constant loss, in order to pay large fraction
of her debt, and thereby save much annual
interest money? IT, after due advertisement,
full and fair competition is allowed, and the
highest responsible offer is reasonable, it
ought to be accepted. The lease, while
tightening the heavy load Of the city, would
give renewed assurance to the holders of the
remaining eighteen millions of city bonds.

We extract the following from letter of the
Nashville correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
noou, 1okoI mil 2 1Q7S

We extract the following from letter Of the
Nashville correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, dated April Z, 1875:
Joe jefferson was here several days last
week, and appeared at the Opera House Mon
fday night of this week in =" Rip Van Wrinkle. u
OF course the house was packed, all the seats
having been sold four days previous at So
each. 1t was in Nashville that Jefferson
made his start in life, having been q =" call
boy in q theater here in 1912, at which time
the only theater in the city was under the
management of Alex Mckenzie, who had
married sister of jefferson father. At that
time Mckenzie was also engaged in the stove
and tin-ware line, and had in his employ a
young German who was wont to exc out the
modest income he derived from backing
stoves in the daytime, by taking tickets at the
door of McKenzie's theater at night.
To-day that German owns the largest con-
fectionery establishment in Nashville, and is
worth, perhaps, half million. Mckenzie
became unfortunate in his business, lost his
health, and when Joe Jefferson came back to
Nashville four years ago, after many years
absence, during which he had achieved fame
and fortune, he found his generous-hearted
uncle lying almost at deaths door, and very
much involved pecuniarily, whereupon he did
the handsome thing by him, by paying off a
three thousand dollar mortgage, Dy Wnlcn
little home the old man had in the suburbs OF
the city was encountered. When he returned
this time he found that the patron OF his
early days had shutfied off this mortal coil,
his last days having been rendered peaceful
and tranquil by the possession of the home
the famous actors generosity had saved him.
Mr.. Jefferson was accompanied this time by
his wife, and the two made their home while
there with Mr.. McKenzie's widow-the lat
ter's second wife. MCC.

military power, Germany would weaken hel
position and court the aggression OF France
But sucn is not our opinion, and We most
sincerely believe, on the contrary, that the
probability of war between the two countries
would be materially diminished by sincerely
pacific policy on the part OF both. AS to
France, she does not now and will not foz
MANY years to come think of going to war.
As was said of Russia after the fall OF Sebas-
topol, "elle Sc recueille sans sendormir
she composes herself without going to sleep.
and relies upon the future to right her
wrongs and to repair her losses.
Policy has profound mysteries and great
resources. Without accepting the dismem-
berment she has suffered, there are a thou
sand circumstances, o thousand combinations
from which France may expect the satlstac-
ton to which she is entitled, and war is that
from which she has the least to expect it.
.. Hate for hate" is not in the heart of nations
any more than in that of individuals, and it
soon disappears when not kept up by self
interest Now who can tell that owing to the
progress of time and of ideas, by the natural
evolution of events, by the appeasement re-
sulting from distance, some reaction favor
able to a pacific solution of the questions
which now divide with so much bitterness
the two nations will not take place to the
great advantage of both?
Doubtless France wants her rights, all her
rights, but nothing more. This she will
have, We believe it firmly, We feel certain OF
it. but she would much rather obtain through
peaceful than through warlike means, and We
feel assured that if Germany would seek with
her and with as much zeal and good will, the
solution of this question, not only the COM
mon interests of two great nations, but also
those of Europe and Of the world at large,
would combine together to enable them to
find it.
1t is then with entire freedom and with per-
feet conviction that we express the idea that
the exclusively military policy of the German
Government by running the commerce and
the industry Of that country, is also fatal
mistake in relation to its power and greatness.
It destroys material interests, national honor,
national security; it undermines at once the
internal prosperity and the exterior strength
of the empire; it brushes great people and
alarms civilization.
