GeyClin pump was put iuto the city mill

itself to be costly bluuder," as 1t was
dubbed by the lETELLIGESCER more than
ten years ago. IL was iutonded to be run
exclusively by water power, but it's warm
est friends, Mayor Atlee and the editor
of the old ErpI ass, were soon convinced
against their will that as a water pump
il was mechanical fraud" Then il
was hitChed to u 1j.hOTse power engine,
but even with this assistance IT was a
failure, rs is cost as much money to keep
it and its connections in repair as the
pump itself had originally cost 1t il
not now pretended that it ever performed
the work it was guaranteed TO do--that is
to raise into tue reservoir ! ,00O, 900 gallons
OF water in twenty four hours. We have
not the figures at hand to show the
amount of money wasted by the city on
this costly bunder," but from tho fre.
quent, almost constant, alterations for a
long series of years, il probably cost a
great deal more than the q 900, 600 gallon

Mr. Buchanan agreed with Judge Black,

This was eminently characteristic
Mr.. Buchanan. He was very wise in
council, but feebler in execution. He was
a constitutional compromiser. But he
naturally surrendered to the vigorous
action OF his secretary of state. He was

his Judgment had differed from that of
his secretary OF state, the circumstances
In which he found himself, would have
invited its sacrifice but when they
agreed in that and only differed AS to the
exPediency of clearly saying what was
meant, the demand of Judge Black for
an unmistakable utterance was not to be
resisted.
