Let Us Have Light.
TO The Editor.


Your editorial, "The National Cinderella"
in Tuesday mornings REPUBLICAN is timely
and to the point, as are the questions you
PROFOUND, but |, for one, do not concede that
the commissioners are as efficient as If they
were elected to their places; neither do be-
lieve that any man or set of men would ad-
vocate such legislation rs we have been cursed
with with under their regime. Does any sane
man pretend that representative of any city
in this country would dare to advocate the
forced collection of usury to the amount of
2i per centum per annum, payable monthly
in advance under the pretense of inficting q
penalty for-non payment of taxes, and
at the same time compel persons from
whom they have extortod money illegally
to accept bonds bearing interest at 3 65-100
per cent. DO you believe that such farce rs
the alleged water famine could be successfully
played in any city where the people had the
least control over its expenditures, or has it
been found necessary for the citizens to or
ganize against the police where they exert
the controlling powers. Clubbing and other
police vices flourish best under an irrespon-
sible despotism like that of police boards or
ganized by state legislatures or congress.
If there is any reason why we are unfit to
exercise the much vaunted right of self gov
ernment, which we formerly believed was the
"inalienable right of an American citizen"
pray find it out and whisper it TO us gently
The petty and cowardly plea that the right
"to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever" Confers any greater power over
the lives, property, or rights of citizens resid-
ing in this district than was possessed by the
state ofMaryland, to whom the government is
but a successor, is too contemplate to be met,
save with scorn for the dupes that surrender
their rights for mess ofbad pottage, and plead
such miserable sophistry as an excuse for the
surrender of their manhood Again, Mr.. Edi-
tor, let us have light, is the request of an
AMERICAN CITIZEN.

What n Catholic Missionary Says.


My attention has been called to an article
in your paper of Thursday relating to Agent
McGillicuddy and his management of affairs
at Pine Ridge agency, in Dakota, and the
statement is therein made that "a Catholic
Indian missionary from the far west" says
that the missionary at Pine Ridge is an
Episcopalian, and McGillicuddy has shown
him great favors, in consequence of which the
reverend gentleman has enlisted the assist
ance and backing of Bishop Hare, &C."
AS / am the only Catholic missionary at
present in this city from the far west, have
thought that the above might possibly be
construed to emanate from myself, which is
not the case on the contrary, have heard
nothing from respectable sources but what
was in McGllicuddy's favor. l do not
know Agent McGillcuddy personally, yet
do know that he has always sustained a good
character and reputation as agent.
In conclusion, | desire to say that was
agent at Standing Rock for several years and
resigned. So far as / am able to judge of the
Indian bureau from my connection with il
tho work of the bureau has been characterized
by honesty, courtesy, prompt and fair deal
ing, and is under its present management
conducted on purely business principles, as
the hundreds and thousands having matters
before the Indian office can abundantly
testify. j. A. STEPHAN,

A New Weather Prophet.

The following weather predictions have
been furnished by responsible party who
says he knows as much about the weather as
Virgins, Veunor, or Tice:
For to-day the weather will be clear and
cloudy. There will be an area of high
barometer stationary over Swampoodle
and low pressure will prevail in
South Washington. The cirrus-cumulous-
us-equcs-curriculous clouds which
will ovorhang the Navy department
early in the morning will denote that the
clerks are eagerly waiting for pay day. Tight
pants will be prevalent during the day on
the avenue, and somnolent storm may be
expected toward IL o'clock p m. The pre-
valence of mint juleps in Bengal will
cause a heavy inroad Of whisky straight

carry hand lanterns and howitzers. There
will be an area of depression among creditors.

THE WATER QUESTION.
A Man I'm the Police Court Complains OF
the Defective suppiy-What Mr.. Larman

A Man In the Police Court Complains OF
the Defective SuppIy-What Mr.. Larman
snys.
In the police court yesterday Mr.. John A.
Grcsbaucr of 1876 Ninth street northwest,
was tried on a charge of wasting Potomac
water on his premises. His defense was that
he got only a poor supply of water, and he
was dcsirous of knowing if he could get more
water by paying more money-secmingly Il
pertinent question. In this case Judge Smell
imposed fine of $5 aud said:
81 understand that people who have been
before the court on this charge have boastcd
of getting Off easy. Where it has been shown
that there is disposition on the part of the
defendant to correct the evil | have taken
their personal bonds, but / want it distinctly
understood that careless wastes of water will
be severely punished, and want particularly
to call their attention TO the fact that q pen
atty of $50 can be imposed, and having been
here once and gotten of does not give any one
a license to continue to violate the law"
Thomas L. Waggaman, who was charged
with the same ohense, was released on his
personal bond having shown that the waste
came from defective closet, which had been
remediod.
Regarding this waste il may be said that
the pressure on the pipes is steadily increas-
ing, showing, as Mr.. Larman says, that more
care Is being exercised now than was usual
for some time past to prevent waste. The
general increase now measuring seven pounds,
is still going up, and complaints of a deficient
supply have greatly diminished. Mr.. Larman
thinks there is no reason why there should
not be a sufficient supply at all seasons of the
year, except the waste. The fault is due to
carelessncss rather than any other cause. He
thinks the evils of u scant supply can be rem
edied, if not cured.

Thc New puhlic schooIs.

Superintendent Wilson thinks it is wise to
locate one of the proposed new public schools
in the second division near judiciary square
and the other further north. The third dvi-
sion will have one building to cost S23,O0O
and will be located on site owned by the
district opposite Providence hospital. The
$1,000 appropriated for putting an additional
story to the school building on Mount Olivet
cemetery road will not be enough by $500
OF the two new buildings for the sixth district
one will be situated on the old Bladensburg
pike, and will cost $1,000, and the other in
Uniontown, at the junction of the Anacostia
and Benning's roads. This will cost 5000.
The rented building near Benning's will be
given up and the large school house in Union
town will be turned over to the colored schools
OF that district.
