Water Works Contract.

The citizens of Waco viii read the
proposed contract with the wafer
Works company as q matter deeply
concerning their best interests. The
question has been disturbing one
tor u long time, and the delay in {, r.
cl isious has occA>iDncd much harsh
and probably ulwarranted criticism.
The council has laborcd earnestly
and faithfully to reach terms with
the company, and secure u
better system OF water work :,
but TILL new their efforts
have been met by exactions that could
not bo cceded to. Tho terms now
proposed, IA set forth in the contract
herein published, seem to be fair and
reasonable, aud as they embody the
ultimatum of the council the argu-
mcnt may be considered closed. The
extension of the franchise to the year
1918, with the c.ty's Obligation to pay
500 per hydraut annually, shc I'D be
satisfactory - the company,
while the details are nei-
Their ouerous nor unreasonable.
This contract has been formulated,
discussed and agreed upon by the
council in secret session, aud no line
or point in it has heretofore reached
the press that was not surreptitiously
obtained. The council row gives it
to the public authoritatively, aud will
expect the approval or the censure OF
the people. he city IS vial y in
tere,ted IN the result of this last effort
II make terms with the existing CON-
pany, and it all the cit zens will stand
by the council ia support of the con
tract proposed, the water problem
viii be solved with but little fur Their
lay.

EX-GOv. RUFUS B. BULLOCK
OF Georgia, on the Protective Tariff and
Presidential Candidate.

Ex-Governor Bullock, a prominent Repub.
lican of Georgia, was in New York last week
Being questioned on the political situation in
the South, among other remarks he said
1.-THE question of the protection of Ameri-
can labor is more important to the South to-
day than it is to the North, and our people
can decide upon that without the intense
prejudices that grew out of past issues"
What do your people think of MIR.
Blaine?" was asked.
1.-THE remark is almost universal among the
most intelligent Democrats that if we are to
have Republican administration Mr. Blaine
is preferred. Southern Democrats remember
with gratitude the successful efforts of Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Randall in defeating the
Republican force bill which was intended to
give General Grant the power to prevent the
suppression of votes eighteen years ago.
There is also a sentiment among certain
class of our people that Mr.. Blaine would
maintain an American policy, even to the
extent of foreign war-a war to which our
people are not not altogether averse.
The assertion and maintenance of Ameri-
can rights in the fisheries would not be an
unpopular issue with US. and we would like
to see the surplus discussed in the building
of a navy and the defense of our sea coasts
Let the past rest in peace. We are all Amer
leans for the future"

why Irish Americans are for Mr.. Blaine.


In another important respect Mr.. Blaine's
name is tower of strength. Irish American
voters recognize in him not only the ablest
opponent of English Free Trade but a con
sistent. outspoken champion of Home Rule
for Ireland. Every Irish American knows
that with Mr.. Blaine in the White House the
indignities to which this country has been
subjected by England would never have been
offered. Every Irish American knows that
with Mr.. Blaine as Chief EXesutive no Gov
eminent official would dare to enter into an
unholy conspiracy to assist England in forg-
ing fresh chains for Ireland and denying the
right of asylum to Irish patriots outlawed by
English tyrants. Let, then, the Re-
publican party nominate Americas foremost
statesman with reclamation. The best in
terests of the country demand this step.

The story Of the American mer hant in
Samoa who hoisted the Star and Stripes
over his warehouse, which the German
invaders were preparing to seize, and
declared that he would summarily shoot
any person who might attempt to modest
him or his property, will stir the pulse of
every one Of the courageous merchants
fellow countrymen, but how about the
Administration which tamely suffers such
insults to the flag to pass unnotice. Had
this disregard of American interests and
disrespect to the American government,
come from Mexico or some weak South
American government, instead of from
imperial Germany, how promptly and
loudly Bayard and Cleveland would have
raised their remonstrance.
1t is declared to be fact that during

Nevada a stratum of rock salt was cut

Of a large lake, and no such fish are now
to be found In any Of the modern Nevada
lakes. The specimens are not petrifed,
but flesh, and all are preserved in perfect
form. and after being soaked in water for

Tea Drinking on the Increase
fChicago News.

While tea drinking is being strongly con-
demned in England and moderately so in this
country it is becoming almost the universal
beverage in France, and particularly in the
wine growing district. For instance, it has
been estimated that during the last thirty
years the consumption of the tea in France
has increased from l6S, 900 to 100000 kilog-
rammes. Professor German See recon-
mends tea as not only being the best di-
gestive but as being the surest means of sus-
tanning intellectual energy.
