A communication signed "W." appears
elsewhere in the paper. which contains q
number of questions touching the water
works.
AS The ARGUS is not the official organ
of the council it would be folly for it to
attempt to answer the queries contained.
For the ediication of wv" it might be
stated that certain of the city fathers
employed large amount of "Buncombe''
when the resignation of Mr.. Cramer was
presented to the Council. While not
doubling the ability and qualifications of
the present incumbent, it can hardly be
possible that he is the only man competent
to fill that position.
The future disposition of the works will
depend largely on the result of the vote at
the coming election, and if present appear
ances are any criterion of that result. the
water works will remain in their prese ut
quarters for some time to come.

The following is an extract from an
address delivered By Wayne MaeV eagh
about one year ago:
Il happen, among other UNI opalar and
impraeticable things. to entertain sincere
desire for the relief of the cival service, and
4 would trust to your practical common
sense whether or not it might be of advan-
tage to our foreign trade in the future that
that service, instead of being filed by de-
cayed politicians seeking a temporary
asylum as a reward for partisan labors.
should be filed by such busy, energetic
and working men as can only be secured by
the attraction of that permanent tenure. !"
1t is readily seen why MacVeagh is not
popular with his brother in-law Don Cam
eron or even his father-in law Simon
Cameron, who once confessed that he had
no use for them literary fellars."
