The cotton seedpool cannot hold
e out, for the reason that the Cairo
oil, mills are giving 50 per ton.
The Associated Cotton Seed Man
ufacturers expected to crush that
raising price, because the Cairo
mills were small concerns and
would soon be. supplied with all
they wanted, But it now turns out
that the Charles p. Chouteau is
paying 50 pea ton promiscuously
on the bank, ! The Sallie Carney,
running from Vicksburg in the
bends, has; been giving IS 90 and
50 per ton On the banks to planters,
and deducting the difference out of
their freight bills, but the New Or
leans Cotton Seed Association have
written the steamer they will re-
ceive no more seed from the Sallie
Carney if she gives over SIS on the
= bank, although the seed costs the
association no more. The river
banks are cleaned up of st. Louis
and Memphis sacks though not of
New Orleans and Vicksburg sacks,
and it is reported they gave over
IS per ton on the bank, secretly.
1t is generally understood among
planters that if they will hold their
seed they will get 81 per ton later
in the season. All required, say
the planters, is little backbone,
because the factors never require
planters to ship their seed to them.
1t is reported the Anchor Line
boats pay IS per ton on banks, and
the planter sends bill by mail to
st. Louis and gets 81 per ton more.

hardly be reasonably construed INTO

consideration of the matter has only
confirmed well>founded and logical
opinions then formed.
The Peoples Territorial Central
Committee were not content to let
TIE matter rest upon the former or
der. and yesterday, through it's at
torneys. F. S. Richards ana
Bennett, Hardness & Kirkpatrick,
presented brief and argument to
Commissioners Ramsey and Carl
ton, the only members Of the Board
at present in town. The argument
is able and exhaustive, snd so apt
and conclusive ia its MANY citations
of authorities that it is difficult to
see how the Commission can refuse
to reverse its former order. Two
points, and they are the principal
ones in the case, are made especially
plain, namely, that the intent of the
voter must be recognized from his
ballot, and if ne shall put more on
his ballot than the law declares necs
essarv and essential the extra mat~
ter does not invalidate the vote, but
must be regarded as surplusage; and
second. that evan if voters cannot
legally elect tine treasurer, auditor
and other Territorial officers, the
matter is not one for ad.
Ijustment by the Commission, but
by IS judicial tribunal. The argus
ment, which was read by Judge
Bennett, is mastery statement OF
1.-THE case, and plea which seems IN
lanswerable. The Commission in
formed the attorneys that the Dis
Itrict Attorney would be applied to
flor an opinion. As the election will
be held next Monday, and this is
the year for electing the officers
7 whose titles are IN dispute, it is
hoped q decision will be arrived at
in time to avoid any further mud
dies as to these oficialz.

the lirst being for q inch, and the
latter for inch supply pipe. The
Isrge number that would be requi-
red would be of the smallest size, so
an idea can easily be obtained OF
the extra cost of each service, say
an average of twenty dollars each.
The adoption of this plan would
necessitate the City Council buying
the meters, furnishing them to cisi-
zens using the water service, and
either charging rental for them. or
obtaining deposit on account OF
each meter, the same as the gas
company does. The water meters
in use, economy OF water would in
evitRbly follow, and the present.
City Greek supply could be extended
over a larger area Immediately.
It ought to be and could be done; 1t
is done elsewhere. But Of what I'M
mediate benefit would this be to the
dry benchers? Why, the City Coun-
Gil could then magnanimously go to
work and put in a small tank ieser-
vOir in City Creek, and lay say q
six~inch pipe to convey the water
then at command over tie dry
bench. The placing Of a spill on
each block would give the suffering
bench inhabitants a limited supply
of water for domestic purposes and
if the supply warranted it, it could
be laid to the houses of those viii
ling to pay for the service. They
would have miniature water works.
Why cannot this be done? We
know no reason.

WATER ECONOMY.

Although much has been said
and written upon the subject OF
supplying water to the present "dry
benchers" Of the 18th, 2o5h and 21st
wards, and some efforts have, and
are being made by the City Council,
yet the lack of the aqueous fluid
still exists. At present no practical
means of a supply has been deter
mined on. There can be no ques-
ton as to the City Council being
under moral, if not legal obligations
to furnish the water, if it can posi-
bly, be dCne. THE HERALD has
Surrendered much space to the sey-
ersl correspondents who have from
time to time discussed the subject.
The letter in our Sundays issue goes
to show that the suffering
residents of that dry part of the city
claim that they have at least an in.
direct right to all or portion of the
surplus water of City Greek, for do
nestle puri oses.
Many erroneous ideas exist on the
matter of "water rights" some of
which may hold good legally, but
would not "hold water" in court
Of equity. The water right preroga-
tive may be go constructed that pro-
viding rst settled portions of

would leave the residents Of plats
