Gladstone, replying today to in
quiries as t. which were the best
books to read on the historical lid. of
the IRISH question, said at present
there was gnat lack OF any compl, to

The Nineteenth Century.
Glad tone has indirectly advised
Psrnell sg inst pursuing an obs ruct-

A MEETING of the Taxing District
Council is t, be held today, pursuant
toa call FIR the purpose Of considering,
as is it is given out, a proposition from
what is known as the Citizens Water
Company, to supply the city with
water. Thers teems to us to be some.
thing farcical in this. The Citizens
Company has no water works and
therefore no water, and then the con-
trast Of the District With the Memphis
Water Company for supply of water
has sixteen years yet to run. Besides
all this, the District Is practic ally com
mitted to the policy Of supplying itself
with water, and by decision in the
case Of the Memphis Gas Company, it
is opposed to the streets being torn up
by new companies, In view of all
this, we think the Council will be
throwing away its time to consider
a proposition from any company.
What it ought to do is to appoint
COMMITTEES from among IFS own mem
beers TO consider the ways aud means
so as TO be ready for the Citizens
Committee a1d lose no time in taking
the initiatory steps for the construc.
ton of its own water works. Water
ought to be as free as air to the peo-
pie, and no company, new or old,
should be allowed t. dole it out to
them at 80 much per gallon. Whist
the people want is not contracts, but
water works OF their own, and the
sooner the better.

A CORRESPONDENT, whose letter we

A CORRESPONDENT, whose letter we
publish in another co umn, expresses
himself surprised that TIE APPEAL
should be opposed to prohibition, and
he proceeds to ply US with all the
staple arguments OF the fanatics who
want to try and accomplish the old,
old job Of making men good by law, a
job the Church and sats together,
though trying ever 30 hard for centu-
rie,, hare not yet bsen able to accom-
plish in Europe. Moses gave the
Jews die a'y system which long ago
lapsed into 'innocuous dessuetude,"
and the M slena's rule against
wines is OF force only with those
who cannot buy them. Liquor
drinking, like gambling, oaunot
be prevented, but it may be regu-
lated. The P6ohibition;sts might as
we'll try to prohibit the wearing of cor
sets, which, according to Hall
and Fooe and other specialists,
are responsible for nine.tenths of the
lis that women suffer from. No
woman would venture beyond the
privacy of her own o I'm without a
corset en-, because abe knows she
would bs "perfect fright" without it.
She would feel and look as If she was
falling to pieces without the support
of the corset, which gives a rounded
grace to her figure and enables her t,
walk with esss and carry her clo,hes
with comfort. Even the women
who are loude't in the faustical
cry for law tt at shall interfere with
the right Of private judgment, even
they would be found in the ranks,
fighting for the corset, were our core
spondent to organize a party for its
suppression. But they need not fear
any such movement. The women
have learned to adopt Themselves to
corsets and corsets to their figures
without dttriment to their physical
system. They don't need law pro.
hibiting corSets. They are becoming
more and more temperate in their
use. And 80 men may BIZ taught aud
be prevailed upoa to be temperate
without the exercise of sumptuary
laws that are the offspring of intern
perate fansticism.

IT WILL be sad day f)r the Univer-
city of Miss IS ppi when religion in
any of its fo'ms is permitted even in
the least deg ca to dictate the employ
ment of lis professors. A State institu-
ton, to represents the whole body
of the people, and they in
whatever concerns the State
have BEEN and are careful to
exclude religion. AL religious de-
denominations ara interested
in the States preserving this
neutrality betwes n them and it cannot
be too rigidly adhered to. They know
that any attempt at division of the
faculty among them vonld lead to the
ultimate destruction of the university
and the closing Of an avenue for free
education of the highest order that
but lew States can mach. Besides
which it would begat feuds aud bick-
eriDgs that genera ions would not be
able to allay and that would en-
broil the State in the bitterest
and most impl'c4b e forms of dispute
engendering hate and Jealousy aud all
unchsritableness. The conduct of the
trustees in dism 'ssing five tine faculty
must rot, therefore, be considered
from the religious point Of view. They
are men Of the highest character and
acted from a sense of duty
and with view to the
enhancement ard rot the Impair
ment OF the Us fuluess Of the uni
versity. They are the servants OF the
