Mr. ALBERT FINK, Railroad Commission
or, has written letter in reply to the re-
cent structures OF the anti-monopoly league
upon the railroad pooling system, in which
he maintains that no combination OF rail-
roads can in any degree prevent COMPETE
ton with the waterways Of this country.
He also holds that competition with other
railroads is not prevented by the existing
spool" between the trunk lines, nor can
any pooling" combinations prevent legiti.
mate competition between the railroad
companies themselves. Mr. Fink directs
the special attention Of those who desire to
study tho railroad problem the features
peculiar to competition between carriers.
"Tho least change made in the tariff Of one
carrier by water or by ruil may affect the
rates OF transportation in fur distant sec
tions OF tho country without there being
apparently any direct connection between
the8c different lines, It Is this feature
says Mr.. Fink, that secures TO commune

The Water Question.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 The opposition to the purchase of the waterworks by the city appears to come mainly from the stockholders of the Water Company. have not heard of one of them who is not against it. If they all think a sale to the city at the contract price will be bad thing for them, is it not pretty good proof that it will be 8 good thing for the city?
 They generally argue against it merely on the ground that the city would not be likely to manage the works as economically as they can, and add that they don't o~n stock enough to influence their judgment. Very few of them own less than ten shares, worth $500 at par. But it has been selling at $8O, which is 60 per cent. above par. If the report of the special Investigating com mittee accepted by the Common Council is correct, the purchase money, in case of sale share and probably much less. This on ten shares is loss of $160 at least. To most people this seems a sum worth keeping, if you can. I should rather trust the judgment of citizens who are not stockholders, and who think that, if we have found our road department, spending over $1OO,OOO, our po- lice department spending over $75 ,OO0, our fire department spending over $50 900, and our school board spending $160, ,OOO year, are all reasonably well managed, we are not likely to suffer much at the hands of 8 non- partisan water board, spending from but $50, ,000 to $35, 900, and employing perhaps dozen men. s.

Wheat flour is $3.57 per 100 pounds; rye

 mutton, 10 and cents; granulated sugar, green coffee and tea, II, 22 and s1; pota.
 toes, $1. 40 per barrel of 3a bushels. These
 are the qualities generally used by the wage
 earning classes. In answer to inquiry from
 Parliamentary committee, the provincial
 authorities reported that the wages of agri-
 cultural laborers in, the Province of Goth
 land (the southern end of Sweden) had been
 20 to 35 cents day in summer and 13 to 26
 in winter during 1s65-9; 23 to 46 in summer
 and 13 to 26 in winter during 1s7074; 26 to
 50 in summer and IS to 31 in winter during
 1S75-9; 20 to B in summer and IS to 26 in
 winter during 1880. The condition of labor in Switzerland and Sweden thus appears to large increase of emigration to this country is not surprising.
 A prosecution in the Berlin courts against Emil Efenheimer, editor of the discontinued Berlin Neaos on charge of labelling Prince Bismarck, has been decided in favor of the defendant. The alleged libel consisted in an accusation that Bismarck was himself chiefly for the outrages against the Jews in Germany. The defense was justification of the charge, and, as evidence of it's truth, counsel pointed to the reply made by Prince Bismarck to a telegram received from Dr. Henrici during the session of sn anti-Jewish meeting in Dresden, in which he said that he believed, with the association represented by Dr. Henrici, that an improvement would be attained in German affairs as soon as the German people would cease to expect it to occur spontaneously. This sentence was considered throughout the country as indi- eating the desire of the Chancellor to have he German people resort to violent meas | lres against their Jewish neighbors. The defendants advocate referred also to other 1 occurrences of a similar character It re- Iuires very clear case to procure decision ! rom Prussian court adverse to the wishes | 'f Prince Bismarck, but in this instance the | Judges unanimously decided that the defend | mt could not be punished for expressing the jews he did

 From the Milwaukee (wis.) sentineLl
 Congressman Williams was in the city yes terday, and, in answer to questions as to his acquaintance with the lamented President, replied:
 Happening to sit within one seat of him for four years in the House, I, with others perhaps, had a better opportunity to zee him in all his moods than those more remov ed In action he was giant; of duty he was a great, noble boy. He never knew what aus- terity of manner or ceremonious dignity meant. After one of his greatest efforts in the House, such as will live in history, he would turn to me or anyone else, and say |: ssWeIl, old boy, how was that?" Every man was his confdant and friend, so far as the in- terchange of good feeling was concerned. He once told me how he prepared his speeches that first he filled himself with the subject, massing all,the facts and princi- pies involved, so far as he could; then he took pen and paper and wrote down the salient points in what he regarded their logical order. Then he scanned these critically and fixed them in his memory. And then, said he, I leave the paper in my room and trust to the emergency He told me that when he spoke at the serenade in New York a year ago he was so pressed by callers that the only opportunity he had for preparation was to lock the door and walk three times around the table when he was called out to the balcony to begin. All the world knows what that speech was He was wrapped up in his family. His two boys would come up to the House just before ad- journment and loiter abont his desk with their books in their hands. After the House adjourned other members would go in cars or carriages, or walk down the avenue in groups. But Garfield, with boy on each side of him. would walk down Capitol Hill, as we would say in the country, 'cross-lots, all three chatting together on equal terms.

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journai & Courier,
 Sir:The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (76.OOO) Ibs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder. it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love. analytical chemist for the government, and recom. mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means if will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "RoyaI', or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined, The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com. m1ssioners,' and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with number known only to the commissioners
 It twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test It's superiority is acknowledged. and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully
