THE WATER QUESTION,
The New York Contract Company and
the Hydraulic Company.

1t now appears that the proposition
made by the New York Contract Com
pany relative TO procuring a city water
supply from Lake Michigan, Is in fact
the proposition of the Hydraulic Com
pany, Of this city. The company has
tried TO get hearing a number of
times, and failed. They, therefore,
took this method in the hope that the
proposition would be considered on its
merits. The committee appointed by
the mayor contains representatives both
OF the element which opposes turning
the water supply run to a private cor
pOratiOn, and of the element which
thinks it better 10 do so. No meeting
of the committee VIII be held Until
after correspondence with Mr.. SchO-
field. the gentleman who put in the
proposition. He will be asked TO come

Summary.

The pacing race was a walk-over Ben

competitors that he could stop and feed
on the course and then win. He was.
winner in the first two heats, with Ipse
Dixit second and Kitty third. Time,
Dab and 2:40.
The judges wanted to see a faster
mile, and Benson wanted 10 be warmed
up, so the distance was waived in the
third heat, and Benson paced the track
i'll 2:2S4 without a skip. Ipse Dixit ar
rived later in the afternoon.

left unfinished on account of the dark

and Dan : third. The third and fourth
heats were won 10y Montague Boy, with

Norton and Seeley protested against
Montague Boy, claiming that he has a
record OF 2.25 and IS therefore barred

TO MAKE GOOD CROPS.
The Three Things Essential to Securing a
Fair Yield of Grain.

The Three Things Essential to Securing a
Fair Yield of Grain.
In the making of good crops three
things are essential. These are a
good soil thoroughly prepared; good
seed carefully planted in good season.
and thorough cultivation, given at the
proper time. The growth and yield
of the crops are largely dependent
upon these three items, and failure
of either one will affect the yield to a
greater or less extent, With the rich
soil the elements of plant growth are
furnished, the preparation places it in
a good condition to be taken up and
used by the growing plants, and in adj
dition aids materially to secure bet
ter termination. For good seed plant
ed in well-prepared soil not only
terminate in a shorter time, but there
will be less of the seed that will fail
to grow, so that with these conditions
provided not only will better germi-
nation be secured but thriftier and
move vigorous plants will be started
up.
With these secured the next i'm
portant item is thorough cultivation,
given in good season. With vigor-
Gus, thrifty plants at the start, a good
growth can be readily kept up if good
cultivation is given. 1t must be given
in good season, as the best
growth can be obtained only by
keeping clean and in good filth.
If five or six workings are necessary
to give q good crop, as far as possible
the first three at least should be given
in the first four weeks after the plants
appear above the ground.
If a good growth is secured from the
start and the crop is planted in good
season, so that good growth is made,
the plants will withstand a drought
with more or less damage than when
this has not been done, and it is posi-
BILE, by securing this growth. to. keep
it up by good cultivation, so that fair
yield may be obtained, even in an uu-
favorable season. But neglect of either
one of the essentials will be certain to
affect the growth and yield.
The quality of the seed and the man.
ner of planting largely determines the
stand, while the fertility of the soil
and the cultivation largely determines
the growth and yield of the plants that
have started up. The best yield can
only be realized by getting good even
staod of healthy, vigorous plants and
then keeping up good growth until
the CROP is made by thorough cultiva-
tion. The more thoroughly these con-
iitions are supplied the better tho
yield and the nrofit, st. l.enis Re

Originally German Jew devoted to
science and investigation, he has be-
come in reality an Independent SOW
ereign, and having turned Mussulman
he rules the great region intrusted to
him with absolute authority. His thir-
teen hundred black regulars have set
tied and married in the land, and will
never, he says, return to Egypt by
their consent. He himself lives like
an Asiatic, which, no doubt, by blood
he is; and he has formed a negro army
so well disciplined that it has defeat
ed even the fanatic soldiers sent
from Khartoum. He has herds of cat
tie and flocks of sheep, his supplies of
grain are more than ample, and he is
accommodating a stock of ivory which,
if the road to the northward ever
opens, may bring him great wealth. in
the European sense. He is, in truth,
an African sovereign, and as his au-
thority consolidates itself, and that of
the Mahdi dies away under the blows
it is sustaining from the westward, he
may hope to stretch his dominion from
the Albert Nyanza northward to Khar-
toum. Having renowned Judaism
and quilted civilization for years, he
can be little tempted to quit that po-
sition and return to the less varied life
of an almost penniless student of nat
ural history in Berlin. There is no
reason to doubt his statement that he
will never desert his followers, and
that if he leaves his kingdom he will
carry with him 5000 souls, thousands
of them women and children. To
march southwark with that cavalcade.

whimi to the Congo, or eastward to

perate attempt, nor is there any thing

European journalists, in discussing
such parsonage, are apt to assume
that a cultivated European must al
ways be longing for Europe, and this
was clearly SANKEY'S own idea; but we
doubt if that is always the case. AL
most all Europeans detest the tropics,
but ever now and then, in India, in
Cambodia, in China and in tropical
America, European is to be found
whom nothing would induce to return
to the tanner life of Europe, and who
finds in the society of the inferior
races a never-ending charm. A natur-
alist has always occupation for his in
tellect, power has attractions for all
strong minds, and Emin Pasha, though,
if we may trust a biography which has
every sign of truth, he has joined the
long list of renegades from higher to
a lower faith-for though Judaism is
not Christianity, it is loftier faith
than Islam-may feel that in partly
civilizing great African kingdom he
is doing great work. That is the i'm
preston we derive from his own ac-
:ceunt in the latest letters published,
and there is no reason why it should
not be true. We are not all alike, or
