Jas. y. Blair and L. \. Mckeal. the
subcommittee appointed by the citi-
zens to look after the railroad interests
OF Medicine Lodge, returned from WIS.,
1t to the railroad officials this week, and
are encouraged at the outlook. They
only went to Lawrence, having learned
that Mr.. Robinson, manager of the San
Ia Fe, was absent in the west. Mr..
Barnes of the Southern Kansas road
gave the committee every reason to
hope for the completion of the road to
Medicine Lodge at no distant day;
though it may not be before next sum-
mer. He said that but for the strin-
gency in the money market within the
past few months and the unfortunate
and extensive washouts on the Santa
Fe road in New Mexico this summer,
the Southern Kansas road would have
been running cars TO Medicine Lodge
Tins fall. AS it is, however, the iron
will not likely be laid further west from
Harper than Attica, IL miles; though
the work of grading west and southwest
OF Attica may be continued during the
entire winter. The impression was al
so given out that Kiowa is to have a
branch of this road, to be built the
same time the line is extended TO Medi-
che Lodge.
The committee did lot deem It advis-
able to visit the Fort Scott people at
present; but may go there later.

During a recent visit to Topeka and
other eastern points we were surprised
at hearing such general confidence ex-
pressed at the future in store for Medi-
cine Lodge. Every person we conversed
with, and who had ever heard of this
place, appeared TO think that il is to be
the future city Of southwestern Kansas;
that we will certainly have a railroad
inside Of nine months and perhaps two.
The state officials and the railroad of
icials at Topeka appeared to have more
confidence in the future of Medicine
Lodge than our own people even.

Mayor Low is treating the question Of
water supply for Brooklyn In way which
does little credit to his Judgment He mani
iestly does not foresee the future Of the town
Of which no Is Mayor, and has undertaken to
deal with subject too large for his grasp.
He Is doing his best to push through his
scheme for draining the streams Of Queens
county to got water for q city which is al
ready the third In population In the Union,
and which Is destined to become before many
years next to New York In size. Yet GU ems
county has barely enough water for Its own
uses. and even II 1t Is drained dry to supply
Brooklyn, tho quantity obtained will DO in
significant In comparison with the increasing
needs OF the city.
When Brooklyn gets rapid transit. 30 that
all parts OF It's wide territory can BIO reached
In a few minutes, and when its system OF
elevated railroads Is connected by the Brook
Ign Bridge with our own, we shall soon see
population OF o million within It's limits.
Nothing Is moro probable, We might say
that nothing is more manifest, than that tho
western end Of Long Island Is destined to be
the seat Of vast population. 1t has
natural conformation which peculiarly
adapts 1t to such future When the facili-
ties for communication are increased, as they
must be increased. until they shall become
adequate, the problem OF what to do with the
too dense population OF New York is likely to
be soon solved by their seeking homes on the
broad plains OF Long Island.
Such Is the future before Brooklyn. Yet
Mayor Low Gun devise no better scheme for
furnishing the coming millions with water
fhon hot NJ hru xuiuy H. from tho 1annfv
sources OF supply in Queons county!
To obtain a sufficient water supply for its
future needs, Brooklyn must look elsewhere
than to Long Island. and the place to which
II should go IL the mountain region In Rock
land and Orange counties, where the quantity
Is ample and the quality unexcelled. Even
II New York rejects the scheme OF water
supply from that source, why Is it not the
one for BROOKLYN
The Ramapo region ls Mt a high altitude
and its water Is without appreciable pollu-
ton. Indeed, It's water ia exceptionally pure.
and the engineering problem Of conveying
1t to Brooklyn is one easy to solve, and which
could DO rapidly executed. Tho supply, too.
Is ample for both the present and the future
Brooklyn.
By adding to the waters OF tho Ramapo
district those OF the Waikiki Valley and OF
the Catskill Mountains, q supply equal to
more than eight hundred million gallons
day may be obtained, so that Brooklyn can
DO more freely and better supplied with wa
tor than any other great city.

The Com bination Of Apothecaries.

The Combination Of Ap0thecartes.
1t is really quito refreshing to learn that
the druggists Of this city have combined for
mutual protection.
In this case we should like to SEQ protec-
tion SO successful as to keep the public out of
tho apothecary shops altogether.
We arc not Mt all sure that the mortality
Of New York would not DO largely reduced
by closing every drug store in the city.
II has been intimated that the chief pur-
pose OF tho combination is to prevent one
druggist from underselling another. Then
all will be able to realize higher prices than
they can now obtain for their pills. potions.
and patent medicines
This we cannot believe It is impossible
that any sane druggist can have the audacity
to raise his prices above those now ordinarily
charged in the city Of New York.
Their true purpose In assoclating them
selves Is probably to improve their minds.
