the distance from Maidenville that We

LONDON, March 1.-THE steamship

1t is stated that United States Min
lister Lowell will shortly visit Man
chester to inquire into the allegations
OF the cotton spinuers regarding cotton
adulteration.
A Berlin telegram reporting tho
Cars rebuke to Skobeleff for his re-
cent u'terances, also reports the Car
as saying: Even Turkey raises her
head and refuses to sign the conven-
tion for the payment of the war ex-
penses, because she hopes that war
will soon break out between Russia,
Germany and Austria. You desired
to be useful to the Slavs, but having
irritated Germany you have destroyed
even that neutrality which alone was
possible under present circumstances.
Germany, the neutral power in the
Slav question, is not in the Eastern
question, and was thinking Of propos.
ing to act as mediator. She now
firmly refuses to aid the Slavs of the
Peninsula. Thus, thanks to you,
Russia feels herself derided, hooted at
and completely isolated in Europe"
Sir Henry Halford calls upon the
foremost shots among the British vol

duce will insure success for the British

We understand the impression OBJ
tains among some lowing to the mis-
leading character Of the caption to our
Memphis special in our Wednesdays
lssue), that the Democratic mass meet
ing in Memphis, Tuesday night, ex-
pressed as one of its conditions of a
settlement of the debt-the submis-
sion Of the settlement to the people.
1t was the platform OF the State
Gubernatorial Convention, which it
was proposed should be submitted for
the consideration of the people. The
following was the resolution adopted !:
Resolved, That basis for the set
tlement Of the State debt should be
fixed by said Gubernatorial Conven-
tion, and embodied in its platform,
then adopted and submitted for the
consideration of the people as an
organized part of said platform.
Nashville American, 10th,
We are glad the American has made
the correction OF the erroneous idea
conveyed in its head .liAes. The ex-
treme low tax men of this county, who
always demanded that any settlement
made should be referred to the people
for ratification or rejection, agreed
that if a given basis we're named in
the platform it would be equivalent to
separate submission to the people,
aud that a Legislature and Governor
elected on such platform would be
authorized to settle upon the rate
specified in the platform without fur
ther reference to the ballot box.
This simplifes the situation,
and if adopted ought to give entire
satisfaction to both sides. If Mr..
Wilson had been elected Governor
and majority Of the Legislature had
been low tax Democrats, they would
have been authorized to settle $2,5OO,-
600 of the debt, as expressed in their
platform, without another reference
to the people. And so if 80 3 should

FAIR WARNING
TO ALL WATER RENTERS.

During the past three months we
have given frequent notices through
the press and otherwise, and made
repeated house to house inspections,
at an expense of $500, with view to
reducing the enormous waste of water
that prevails throughout the city. We
fully appreciate the annoyance these
inspections sometimes give, but the
great loss to the company from waste.
forces resort to every means of pre-
yentingit.
We were pumping the incredible
quantity Of FIVE million gallons daily;
the inspections have reduced it to
three and half millions, which is still
double what it should be. So far. the
practice has been, when the inspector
found water running, the parties were
notified, and two or three days were
allowed to remedyth evil complained
OF. If not remedied, the supply was
then cut off. The public has In diff
terent ways been so frequently warned
as to this evil, hereafter when the in
spectors find waste they will
AT ONCE TURN OFF THE SUPPLY,
and it will remain off until the waste
is discontinued, and one dollar paid
for turning off and on.
This is the remedy resorted to in
other cities, and we know no other.
We beg of all to watch this matter
and thus avoid trouble and expense.
People have no more right to use
five to ten times as much water as
they pay for, than to expect one dollar
to buy five to ten dollars worth of
medicine.
