No Private Reasons.

Mr.. Ezra lands presents to us what
seems to be a well-founded complaint
against the award of the iron and wood
work for the connection Of the new water
main with the reservoirs to John Best at
l,2s2, when he bid s6l2.5O for the iron
work which is much the largest
expense of the job. A contemporary,
In publishing the award, explained
tnat the award was made to the highest
bidder for private reasons" There
should be nopriya'ereasons for any public
award. The committee as agent of the
city would be right in giving the contract
to the best bidder, though the highest, IL
such were the terms of its advertisement
for proposals. We believe that it is right
to confide such discretion TO public officers
as they would be right in using in their
private business. But they need to SO
act that their awards will be above sus.
piclon, and to this end the reasons for
which they are male should always be
open to the public. 1t will not do to say
that the reasons:are "private."
There cannot generally be any such
thing as private act Of an Official and
we notice this case now because the new
water commissioners are about entering
snto control of the water works and its
patronage, and We want them to under.
stAnd that their acts and awards and the
ieasons Tor them, are, in our judgment,
public property, and we shall always de.
aiand In the name of the public, such
pablicity for them.

Cancer In Public Hen.

The newspapers are prone just now 10
give cancer to public men broken down
in health. The New York World insists
that Mr.. Randall has it, though his doc
tors say he has not. A public man can
not become Ill now without having the
whole public invited to his bedside. 1t
may be gratifying TO his pride to be an
object of such notice and solicitude, but
IL can hardly tend to his cheerfulness
and prospect Of recovery to read the
newspaper surmises as TO his condition
It makes their items more interesting II
they can make out the disease to be terri.
bic and as cancer is about as terri
flying as any, 1t has fair chance to con-
tinue to be the fashiona BILE disease, dlag.
noed by the newspapers for public men.
1t Is an interesting disease, too, be-
cause it is supposed to kill, unless 80 To-
Gated that it can be surely cut out root
and branch. When it gets inside, there Is
small chance for the patient and In
side, of course, therefore the newspaper
editor will put it. We do not un

men and politicians and the young
man who aims to become governor OF
congressman need not have the dread oI
1T as drawback upon his career. If hi
will live temperately, work sensibly and
sleep soundly, he will have as good Q
chance Of long life as in any other avoca
tlon. The trouble doubtless comes In
striving to live temperately amid the asso
Citations and distractions of public life
aud no doubt 1t Is q great trouble, ant
many there be who fail to get the bettel
OF it. If the young could have the ex
perience of the old, there would be vas
dell more Of temperate living In til,
world there would be more Of a struggle
made to be temperate in the use Of all tht
faculties and the exercise Of all the func
tions, Of which these men in the flush o
youth and health are not apt to feel TIT
need; and they will not be taught by tn,
experience of their elders.

Las nption, a pretty summer resor.
twenty-five miles down the St Lawrence,
from Montreal, was the scene OF sad
drowning accident on Tuesday. The four
sons OF MIR. Vaudeville, OF Boston, aged
six, eight, ten and twelve, were playing
on some logs 10 Lsssomption river, when
the chain holding the logs gave Way, and
all four were thrown In the water. In an.
other moment all the logs had Jsmmed TO =
gether over the heads Of the boys, max In q
roof, which rendered all chance OF escape
impossible.
A person whc.saw this occurrence from
some distance gave the alarm, but tbe
crowd which soon gathered could only re.
cover the four dead bodies which were
found about one hour after the accident.
The father OF the poor children, q widower,
was completely distracted when he heard
the sad news.

Their Private Opinion.

So the statement that Mr.. A. j. Drexel,
OF Philadelphia, Republican In high
standing and protectionist of strong
dye, has declared himself to be in favor
OF free wool and free iron ores, is correct
The Philadelphia Press, Republican and
tariff organ, editorially states upon "the
highest authority" which means Mr..
Drexel himself, that he is Republican,
that he will vote for Harrison and Nor
ton, and that he is protectionist. This
declaration, upon authority, which
Omits to deny the statement that
Mr.. Drexel is In favor Of free
wool and free iron ore, of course
admits 1t to be true. That Mr..
Drexel is q Republican but adds to the
force Of his declaration which the
Press does not seem to see. Coming
from Democrat, such sensible view
would be natural but from a Republi.
can banker, in the hot bed Of protection,
who is also an owner OF the Ledger, the
organ Of the business community of that
town, which is all for protection, the
statement is very significant, indeed.
1t shows that the intelligent manufac-
turing community understands the plain
fact that free raw materials are in their
interest. They are Republicans by habit
and will probably continue, most OF them,
to be Republicans, and take Harrison
and Morton for better or worse but they
clearly find the platform not easy to digest.
1t is too sweeping even, in its protection,
for them. They would not object to
prohibitory tariff upon manufactured
goods, but they fail to see the sense
of putting up the price of their
raw materials. The only reason that has
induced them to run along with the raw
material producers In demanding raw
material tax is their fear that after the
duty is taken off raw materials it will
next be taken Off the manufactured
product, and this idea keeps most of them
quiet just now but when they get into
intelligent society they privately admit
that raw materials should be free; as
Drexel did to Secretary Fairchild at that
festal board; and is perhaps sorry now
that he was 30 communicative.
