The same ola 'Bourbon oppo.i,Ion.

There never was anything started in
Washington for the benefit of It's people but that 1t
met with Bourbon opposition. There are two sides
to every question, 1t is true, and the great Amcri
can citizen has right to II he feels aggrievcd.
The recent attempt to get damages from the Balti-
timore and Ohio Railroad Company on account OF
the refusal of the conductor 10 take certain ticket
Is n case in point. The Baltimore and Ohio road
charges s6.25 for a round-tiip ticket to Berkeley
Springs. They also sell round-trip ticket to the
same place for 1915, but the return trip ticket must
be stamped at Sir Johns Run by the agent there in
order to make 1t available. This is q great ac-
cOmmodaion TO persons having their families
stopping at the Springs, They can 20 TO the Springs
oil the S3.7j ticket Saturday morning nnd return
by Tuesday morning. 1t is remarkably cheap
railroad riding for the dIstancc-and as the regu
lar fare to points this side of Berkeley Springs and
beyond Is more than s3sj the company, to guard
against imposition, requires all purchasers of the
S31j tickets to get the agent at Sir Johns Run to
stamp the return ticket, The whole arrangement

suits. In 1861, upon the special recon-
mendatiOn of Professor A. d. Bachc,

work which is now being carried on under his di-

Why WATER II Scarce.

10 tnc fhltOr oI iiiE hhfuhLiCANi
| notice that complaint is made of q
scarcity ofwater ut the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, which is natural consequence resulting
from the waste Of water going at varions places
In the city, notably the Treasury. at which place,
in addition to the waste inside the building, the
fountains in proximity arc allowed to flow to their
utmost capacity. The citizens of South Washing
ton have been compelled to submit to scarcity OF
water ever sine the location of the Bureau In That
section, and now that one Government building is
feeling short supply we hope these fountains
will be stopped up. They are d-d outrage
nothing less-while the water supply is in
Its present condition. Another one, at Eighth
aud streets, il in full blast every day, and It is
perfect nonsense TO say that none Of these wastes
affect the supply on Capitol Hill or elsewhere l
would like TO know II drawing water out of the
reservoir does lessen the supply? No other city
