THE Chicago Times has been care
fully analyzing the list Of those who
igned petition asking that Grant
public meeting might be held in that
city, and finds that out of 4,OOC
names, there are only about 1000
that have any weight. OF the
other 5000, many more than hall
are fictitious; in hundreds of instances
names have been repeated, while GER
tain other signers are either govern
ment employees or democratic politi-
clans. In short, after a great amount
oflabOr, only about 1000 men could
be found who were willing to ask that
an ordinary political meeting in favor
Of the president might be held.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Informa-
ton obtained at the navy department
to-day confirms what has hitherto
been a mere rumor to the effect that
by direction of the secretary of the
navy the United States steamer Adams
has established a coaling station at
Galftodulie, on the Pacific side of
Costa Rica, and the United States
vessel Kearsage has established an
other station on Shepherds island, in
Cbiriqui lagoon, on the Atlantic side.
Sites Of these stations belong to the
government, having been acquired
under Lincoln's administration from
the grant made to the Chiriqui i'm
provement company.

THE WATER QUESTION.

1t seems unfortunate just at this stage
that one of our courts should issue an
order which puts stop to the efforts
being made by the water works com
pany to give bountiful supply Of good
water. The new company took posses
sion of a somewhat broken down
institution at time when everything
else was depressed. The stockholders
are citizens of Memphis who took hold
of the enterprise as legitimate in
vestment, expecting of course fair
return. AS far as VIC know they have
acted in good faith. They propose to
make various improvements. At pres
ent they are going ahead of the paving
on the streets and putting down new
pipes. This can be seen by the pub
lie. 1t takes time as we'll as money
to accomplish what is proposed to be
done. The new company has only
been in possession few months.
The officers have gone to work in
earnest, and, if let alone, we have rca-
son to believe, would give more gen.
eral satisfaction than the old company,
We do not question the right or the
motives of the court in interfering,
but the effect is not to give more and
better water, but to stop all improve
ments in progress and possibly to stoI
the company altogether. The water
is at times muddy, because it comes
out of Wolf river, but it is proposed
to build reservoir, which shall be
filled with clear water, to be used al
such times as the riveris muddy. Say
what we will about Wolf river water
muddy or clear, the people of Mem
phis have been drinking i
for several years, and no casc
of sickness or ill health has ever beer
traced to this cause. 1t is true tina

HARRISBURG, April,3O.-The board
Of pardons after a half an hour of pri-
vate consultation recommended the
pardon Of Kemble, Crawford, Salter,
Petroff and Rumberger, in so far as
imprisonment is concerned. The
recommendation is signed by the
whole board Notwithstanding the fact
that Palmer was not present. The
recommendation is substantially as
follows That the act of 1874 pro-
vides for simple Imprisonment. and
that there is now a law for the i'm.
position Of additional conditions in
sentences such as asimprisonmeut at sen.
arate and solitary confinement and
hard labor. The supreme court had
often decided these enlarged sentences
unlawful and by common law impris.

regarded as infamous. As these are
offenses recently made punishable and
the first convictions under the new
law, the board recommends as above,

for any one, but appealed TO the reason and
Judgment. and asked substance OF prelu-
dice and passion. He has Il good delivery
and dealt practically with practical ques-
tions of national interest He takes strong
ground that it is the duty of Congress- as 1t
would he his pleasure. to reduce the number
of Federal office holders there being los,
600 of such, and that the salaries OF those
necessary to be retained for proper adj
ministration of the government should be
reduced. He arraigns DR.. FELTON, for fail
ing to bring about this needed reform, and
shows the shalowness of his boosted record
by his omissions Of duty and commissions
of undemecratic acts. Mr.. C's speech was
calculated to allay bitterness of feeling and
win him the esteem of the people. He
insists that fixedness of principle should in
fuence them in casting their ballots for a
representative standard bearer, and that
they should rise higher than adherng to the
fortunes of mere man. Mr. Clements will
continue to meet the people and discuss the
