permitted to charge for such stuff ss they
furnish the city. With revenue of at
least, say $50, ,000 TO Sl00,0Oo. cannot they
afford to spend some of it to procure bets
ter water? If the city should buy the water,
works TIE citizens wotld not get free
water. The consumer would still have
to pay the same water rate, and besides
the tax On the debts. Now, my remedy
is this: Let the city authorities and the
committee of ten compel the present
Water Company to furnish better water
or to cease charging for what they now
furnish. There is no doubt out the courts
of the country will sustain them in their
position. Cut off the revenue of the $780,
900 which they are now collecting from
the people unjustly, and they will soon
find some means of supplying better water
or be forced to throw up the privilege to
those who will be saved the great risk we
run by creating large debt. Respect

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
The Annual Picnic of the Association
The Procession.


CHICAGO, July 27.-The Socialists and
Anarchists of the city held their annual
picnic yesterday az Ogdeu's Grove. The
affair was conducted under the auspices
of the International Working Peoples
Association, and its most noticeable feat
ure was the parade to the picnic grounds
in which some 1000 persons, represent
ing half dozen different societies took
part. Numerous banners and transpa-
rencies were carried, one of the former
large and of flaming red, being borne by
the wives of four of the principal local
socialistic agitators. On one transparency
was the inscription 1--WE mourn not so
much Gen Grant as the little child who
was starved to death yesterday" Several
fiery dynamiters essayed to speak at the
grounds, but the wholesome influence of
the green grass and trees robbed them Of
their audience.

TEE New York Iadi utor, which indorses
the ArPEAL's views OF the Bland bill, sug-
ges,, IS remedy for the silver difficulty,
that "silver be made Il homogeneous coin,
and be put out as ST bsidiary coin, legal
tender only for 50 OF $40. Build up the
value OF our so cent, .,5 cent and 10 cent
pieces so that they viii all be of full value
and each bear proper ratio in value to
the other. We bslieve 100 100000 of such
coins coud be circulated in this country
without doing the slightest BARN. Our
gold would then be llafe, there would be
no danger of its beinl, driven out of cireu-
lahon by silver, and cur finances would be
put upon a sounder basis. II is not inn
probable that such a measure will be
adopted by Congress at its next session"

\ ERDEEN, Miss, July 27.-Quite a
br c was stirred up here this evening
by a. affair of honor between W. b.
Wa er, late Democratic Elector tor the
Firt Congressional District of Missis-
sippi, and Samuel j. Dalton, jr., editor Of
the Aberdeen Examiner. The difficulty
grew out of publication in the Weekly
E,canliRer of to-day, over Mr.. Dalton s
signature, in which he refers to Mr..
Walker in the following language: 80
far&s the Examiner is concerned, the
man who penned the preceding sentence
lies like turnip- thief, and the princi
pies of an honest, fair minded, conserva-
tive gentleman have no habitation in his
mental, moral or physical being" Soon
after Mr.. Walker sent his challenge,
viii, was promptly accepted. Both
= with friends, repaired to the
Illinois Central depot. The sheriff and
his deputies, together with the city mar
shall and police, tried to arrest them, but
they refused to be arrested without the
production of the necessary warrants,
and before they could be obtained the
cars pulled out with the belligerents
aboard. 1t is understood that the hos
tile meeting will take place neal, Mem
phis some time tomorrow, if at all.
