a New Kind of Brick.

Translated from the German
A rich man was taking walk in his brick
yard with his little boy one morning when the
following conversation took place:
Tommy-What sort of a place is this, pa?
This my boy, is a brickyard."
Who does it belong toy"
1T belongs to me, my son."
docs that big pile of bricks belong to you,
too; pa?m
DO those dirty looking men belong to you,
too, PAP
NO. my son, in this glorious land of liberty
| there can be no slavery. They are free men
Why do they work so hard?'
II don't know, my SON.
"Does anybody steal what they maker"
of course not, Tommy. How do you come
| to ask such questions?N
but. pa, don't the bricks belong to those
men who make them?''
mo. my son, they belong to me-"
WI What are the bricks made of, pas
of clay, Tommy;

mo, my son, God made it.
Did God make the clay specially for you?"
mo, bought it

"No; l bought it just l buy anything

bought it FROM"
'Idon't know, Tommy. You ask more silly
questions than can ever answer"

Every now and then an American woman
administers a rebuke to the Prince of Wales.
The latest one to do this was Mrs. Wet
more, of New Jersey. Through Mrs. James
Brown Potter she was invited to enjoy the
princes company at luncheon the other
day. She promptly sent note declining
the invitation. His royal highness is said
to have become very angry, and to have
given orders that Wetmore shall never,
never be received at court. Probably the
present and future Wetmores will get along
just as well as if the prince had not given
that order

Some of the republican organs are print
ing this paragraph: "The defenders of
President Cleveland protest that he has
vetoed only about 420 pension bills. Only
about 1901 That is defense which con-
victs." The republican organs have got
the facts mixed up. The democrats don't
protest anything of the sort. They say
Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed pension bills
which deserved to be vetoed, and has signed
more than any Of his predecessors. The re-
publican organs are afraid of Mr.. Cleve-
lands pension record. That's why they
print only one side of it, and pervert what

begin to seek the south. Townsville has

climate of the sunny pine lands of the
south, should not fail to initiate their en-

Mr.. Warner Miller, the republican can

Morton Anxious About North Carroll

hOTGOH Au4lOus ABOUT NOrCQ CarOln6.
1t is alleged by New York morning
newspaper that Mr. Morton, the republican
candidate for Vice President, is much more
anxious that the republicans shall carry
North Carolina than any other state. This
statement may or may not be just to Mr.
Morton, The reason given for this anxiety
about North Carolina is that his banking
house, Morton, Bliss & Co., own a very
large amount of what are known as the
North Carolina special tax bonds, which.
with accrued interest, amount to about
$50, OOO,O 900.
These bonds were issued in 1868 for the
purpose of building railroads. The stale at
that time was under carpet bag rule. Toe
bonds were carried to New York and sold
for whatever could be obtained for them.
The projected railroads, however, were
never built, and when the democrats gained
Antrol of the state three years later, the
Sonds were repudiated.
1t is said that Mr.. Quay was continually
surprised by questions from Mr.. Morton
about the progress of the canvass in North
Carolina, and he could not understand the
bond matter was brought to his attention.
Then he understood why it was that Mr..
Morton did not seem so much interested in
the canvass in New Jersey, New York,
Indiana or Connecticut as in that in North
Carolina.
OF course, Mr. Morton hopes that if
republican legislature and republican
governor are elected, there will be some
chance Of provision being made to pay his
bonds. May not all the talk about the
probability of the republicans carrying
that state grow out of the efforts that the
bondholders are making there in behalf of
the republicans
Mr.. Morton need not be anxious any
longer. North Carolina will give major
ity, and a very good one, for the demo-
cratic state and national tickets. The peo-
pie there have not forgotten the days of
carpet-bag rule, and they are not likely to
let the Republican party get control of the
state again very soon.

Put Water in Reach of All.

Very nearly all the wells in the city have
beel closed, and the few that yet remain in
use are reported to be in localities that are
/ beyond the reach OF the water works sys-
tenn. Not as many hydrants have been
established, however, as there have been
pumps removed, and, therefore, there must
be good many families who have to 60
long distances to get artesian water About
all of these families are poor, doubtless and
occupy tenement houses
The reason given for not erecting more
MIGRANTS is that it is the policy Of the city
authorities to force all the people to have
water put into their houses, and thus to
help to pay the expenses Of maintaining the
wa or supply. There can be no fault found
with the policy, because those who use the
water ought to help pay for it,
But are the authorities pursuing the right
course to enforce their policy! A great
maj 1rity of the poor people live in tene-
ment houses, the owners of which will not
incur the expense of putting water pipes
into them and making connection
with the water mains as long
as they can avoid doing so. The
chances are. therefore, that many of the
poor will have to get water under difficulties
for a good long time unless a policy is
adopted by the city authorities that will
make it to the interest of te ement house
owners to provide their tenement houses
with water facilities. If all houses which
have no water supply were made liable for
water tax, whether the water system ex-
Il A..
pose of the city be effected much more
quickly than by the prese plan! There
would beno injustice in adopting this course,
because people who do not have water in
their houses use the artesian water from
hydrants, or get it frcm their neighbors
who have 1t. If the course suggested is
adopted, it is probable that it would not he
supplied with water.
There is one thing which the city can do
which ought TO be done at olce 1t is t.
erect number of drinking fountains in the
most frequented localities, where man and
beast could quench their thirst. Every city
of Importance in the country is supplied
with these fountains, and there is no reason
why Was Ni"J NiiOuiu hoO pe' IHe duApu'l
of additional water that would be required
to supply them would be small-not hun
dredth part of what is permitted to waste
at night through water closet traps or what
IS used in dusty weather to dampen the
streets. Let the authorities establish drink
ing fountains and adopt policy that will
force water into tenement houses that are
now without it, and they will do two things
that will meet with very general approval.
