OUR WATER SUPPLY.-T The Chic
Engineer, Capt. @. II. Gallagher, made a
plausible plea for the increase of the
water supply in his Communication tc
the GAZETTE yesterday. This is perfect
ly right in the Chief Engineer--it is his
duty in fact to look to the wants of the
city and to advise the people Of any ne
eessity Of preparing to avert danger from
any accident to the department over
which he has charge. But we do not mean
to let the Captain off so cheaply. He
knows great deal about the water works,
and he is very plausible talker. We
must, therefore, ask him if daily supply
of II gallons of water for every man,
woman and child in the city is not more
than enough? And if this is not enough
TO give Us his reasons for not adding a
million or two gallons more to his figures
for the amount which the Eighth street
basin is supposed to hold, since he only
included the Tenth street basins in his
article. We can readily understand why
we may require another Worthington
pump, although he omitted to say any
thing about the water pumps, which alone
served this city until its population
reached about 10000.

In his speech at Springfield, Ohio
Hayes said about the presidential com
plcation, "this business will soon bt
over The Chicago Time thinks on the
contrary it has just begun. "For foul
long years he will be a mark for the
worlds scorn to point Its slow, unmov'
ing fingers at. Every thief who stuffed
ballot box in his interest will besiege
him for an Office; every peuured scoun.
drel who has voted in Congress or in the
Bradley court that fraud is better than
honesty, will claim the right to use the
President he helped TO Aake."

IHK PUBLIC SCHoOLs.-Weh have here
tofore said that the public schools are no
better conducted now than they were ten
or twelve years ago. We have since been
frequently assured by citizens who feel a
deep interest in the schools that we were
correct; and we have not been able to
change our opinion. No. A, was as good
every way ten or fifteen years ago as it is
now. No. is an advanced grade, and in
so far is step in the advance OF this step
we take pleasure in the fact that we were
al advocate of it.
But twelve and fifteen years ago our
children were educated at cost of from
81 to So per capita. Judge Hall, J. Nor
ton Poole, II. a. j. Naff and DR.. Grim
shaw were then influential members of
the Board, and they well understood the
needs Of the pupils and the value of edu-
cation. Comfort and good scholarship
was given the greatest care. In fact many
Of the teachers got their training under
the economical principles practiced by the
gentlemen who then managed the schools
Now we wish to impress upon the
Board of Education and the Legislature
that whenever the cost Of education be-
comes extrayagant, it becomes an engine
ef oppression-embarresing the energies
and denies the right of man to husband
the means he earns. 1t says to the spend
thrifts and the jewellers, go on in your evil
ways, the prudent and the economical
tnan will be taxed to educate your chill.
dren. And we believe this was the pre-
Vailing sentiment in the Board on a re-
cent occasion when some unworthy char
acters, whose disreputable acts are known
nd others who are charged with conduc,
which any young gentleman would blush
to hear repeated, ayailed themselves Of
their position to vote against an econo
mist, and one every way their superior il
intellect and morality and in every quality
that goes to make up good citizen. We
say the Board must economic if it ex
poets to command the confidence, and
hold the respect Of this community, which
some of its members now have to an en-,
inent degree. 1t can hardly be possible
That some OF the members are actuated by
a spirit which teaches this way as the
nearest to cherished object~-the route
and ruin of the schools.
