EX-SENATOR SPENCER, of Alabama. who
has been mentioned as the successor Of First
Assistant Postmaster-General Tyner, says
that lie has not asked for the position. has
not been rendered it, and would not have it
if offered This is emphatic enough, in all
seeming. Mr. Tyner, on being questioned,
says he has not resigned, does moi intend to
resign, has not been asked, nor does he ex-
pect to be asked, to resign. This seems con-
elusive, aud yet there prevails an impression
that Tyner will soon step down and out, and
that Spencer will step into his place.

| HOW TO INCREASE THE WATER-SUPPLY
! The return OF hot weather brings with it
the renewal of the complaints of the insult
ficient twater-snpp}y,-co complaints which have
become so urgent Of late that the Council Or
dered the letting Of contracts for the pur-
chase Ut two new punlping-cnEines at the
West Side Works. The difficulty is that the
water has hot pressure enough. It doesn't
coup high enough. III order to force it higher,
these additional engines have been ordered
One great cause for this deficiency is the enor-
nous quantity Of water used in the busi-
ness part Of tile city for power PURPOSES. 1t
was mistake originally for the Water
Department to grant permits for the use
Of wafer to run machinery by the en-
ploynent Of the drinkilc-watcr supply
Of the city. The Department oyerreacllcd
itself in undertaking to do this. The
pipes have certain capacity; they cannot
be driven over that, and the fair, Legitimate
demand for water for domestic purposes is
at-ncarly all times equal to the full capacity
OF tie pipes to deliver water. When anything
more than that is required of them, especially
III the tllckly-settled portions OF the city,
it is accomplished at the expense of the
Aouschoiders. When the city undertakes to
furnish power to run machinery and water
elevators out Of the water supply, it wastes
millions Of gallons which should be devoted
to domestic USE. The result OF trying to do
so much IS, that the city keeps its contract
neither with the public at large nor with
those to whom it processes to furnish water
for power purposes.
Since 1s7i, large numbers of warehouses,
stores, hotels, and business blocks OH the
South Side have been to large expense in
putting in water-cleyators connected with
the watcr-lnai1ls by four and six inch pipes,
They now find that they have not force

THE TRIBUNE prints in the local columns
this morning comparative statement Of its
circulation and that Of the Chicago Times in
the most important routes of the city. These
returns are complete for all the identical
disticts,-i. e., those III which both papers
are circulated by the same carriers. We
are not disposed to boast of the
showing made in this statement. The
facts have always been known to we'll
informed persons. They are known to no.
body better than TO Mr.. Wilbur T. Storey, who
has sought to conceal them from tie public
BY raising u c1amor about other matters.
Aside from tile proofs furnished this
morning, there were two 1rin1G .fucic
reasons for believing that TIE TiaB-
USE had much the larger circulation i'll
the City Of Chicago. One reason was that it
had, al1d las always had, the bulk Of the
responsible, paying advertisements. Adrcr-
tlsers are not fools. There is no shreWdcr
set Ut men i'll the world. They would not
continue to invest their money as libcr-
ally as they do in The TR1DuSE's space
if they were not satisfied that they
got abundant returns for it. And
they do get such returns. Everybody
who has tried it knows that they do.
Seeing is believing aud trying is tic best way
to find out the truth in this matter. The
other reason disinterestel persons have for
knowing that the The TRIBUNE has much
the larger circulation in the City of Chicago
is tile passionate declarations of Mr.. Wilbur
F. Storey that it has not. II it had not 4e
would not be in such fury to as
sert that it had not. What can possibly
all that venerable lunatic it not 4 conscious
ness Of the infcriority Of his own newspaper
III any respect to THE TRIBUNE? Every
frenzed appeal that lle luakes for patronage
is moral evidence that lie recognizes 4 more
prosperous rival in this journal, and that it
is constantly gaining ground, while lie is
losing. But We do not ask the public to be
content with moral evidence. The facts and
figures are in the local columns. They are
evidence that The TE1uuSE'is
as much superior to the Times in Its city cir
culation as it is in its advertising, or tsnews,
or its sense Of decency, or its common sense.

MEssRs. PORTER & COATES have issued an
edition OF the revised New Testament which il

with the New Testament to detect al1 tho changes
in the revision from memory. It is usually
necessary in order to read it inteieentiy tohold

must be rather a painful process. The Porter +
Coates edition does away with this difficulty at

parallel columns save tho edge. This edition,
moreover, has the merit Of possessing all the

SOME WONDERFUL ARAB HORSES.

Somewhere about 1880. it appears to me,
the search after English horses began to
languish, and then gradually died out. One
reason was that the aristocratic importers
found, let them work never so hard, they
could not equal that :" first regimental
charger" on which Captain Byerly, of the
Boyne, otherwise obscure, has ridden into
everlasting renowp, or the Paris cart
horse, or the Turkey merchants unhoped-
for treasure from Aleppo. Iregret this, be-
cause the very highest specimens of Barb
and Arab, like the very highest specimen
of our English race horse, must be few and
far between. Had our wealthy breeders
persevered, other accidental wonders, once
and again, might have fallen into their
hands, and even short of that, valuable
qualities would have kept infusing them.
selves into horses of every descrip-
ton, together with an unfailing flow of
Eastern blood. To show how much acct
dent has to do with such matters. There
was an Eastern screw belonging to the sur.
geon of the Ninetieth Regiment, at Zante,
in 1928. He was a flea. bitten gray, stand
ing somewhere about Is hands , inches.
Turk, Barb, Arab, or mixture of all
three, nobody knew. He was not regu-
larly trained, and far from being in racing
condition. He was, therefore, naturally
thought nothing of at first. Bat, to the
astonishment Of the military mind, when
races were established there under high
Newmarket superintendent, neither thor
oughbred chargers from home nor Barbs
and Arabs-many of them horses of merit
belonging to the Greek gentlemen of the
place--had the shadow of chance with
him. He scuttled away from all COMPETE
tors in the most unexpected style, and

does not appear that he succeeded in doing
any damage. and there is apparently some
ground for the hypothesis that he thought
the President was dead, and intended by
studied outbreak. to suggest the belief
that he was insane. Shonld the President
really die we are inclined to think that ex-
periments of this kind will Prove altogether
superfuous on the part of Guitteau, for
we apprehend in that event a powerful
popular disposition to take the miserable
wretch out Of the jail where he lies, and to
hang him to the nearest lamp post. Such
proceeding would of course be altogether
wrong and deplorable, but it is one of
those contingencies which are by no means
unlikely to arise, and its probability will
not be lessened by aham maniacal tricks
such as that of yesterday.

We should have thought that Dr.. Ham.
mond would have had enough of blind
criticism in his first tilt with the Presi.
dents doctors, but yesterday he returned
to the charge, and expressed his opinion to
a reporter tof coarse fer publication that
the Presidents nausea was the result Of
blood. poisoning, and not of dyspepsia
that this blood poisoning had been going
on ever since the President had a chill
that the doctors had so maltreated their
patient as to exhaust MS vitality; and that
in fact they had virtually killed him. This
was very audacious way for a physician
to talk who knew nothing of tie case be-
yond what he had gathered from the
official bulletins and the press statements.
It would have been very extraordinary
way to talk had his knowledge been much
fuller. Bat under the circumstances it
was what De-. Agnew characterized it as,
namely, Infamous" Investigation yes-
terday showed that there was no trace Of
blood. poisoning, and the physicians who
made this investigation, and who testified
to It's results, are certainly collectively
much better authority than Dr. Hammond,
who makes his malignant criticism from
the distance OF New York, and who has
no means of ascertaining the truth of
what he alleges. Such conduct on the
part of a physician as he has been guilty
of in this case is happily very seldom wit
messed, bat it is as indecent and discredit-
able an exhibition as has occurred in
long time.
