The Fire Ciatarns-

The fire clsterns seem to be the source OF
good deal of trouble. 1t was first pro-
posed to fill them with soil-to obliterate
them-but the superintendent of water
works pointed out that they might be
needed. He said that if an accident should
occur to the water works the CITY might be
without water for several hours, which
would be very unfortunate state of affairs
if there should be fire in the meantime.
He suggested that the els erns should be
cleaned out and filed with water. His
suggestion was thought to be good one.
Another difficulty, however, has arisen.
About the only water obtainable for filling
the cisterns is artesian water, and a physi-
clan, who is authority in such matters, says
and become offensive in very few days,
ana that it would have to be pumped out.
There is force IN what he says. 1t is we'll
known fact that if the artesian water is
exposed for a while it becomes offensive.
the physician explains why it becomes so.
Admitting what the physician says to be
correct, would it be- advisable to fill the els
terms with artesian watera At any rate,
before artesan water is pumped into the
cisterns, the city authorities ought to be
thoroughly satisfied that the water would
not become dangerous to health and have
to be pumped out in few days.

The Ginger Fiend.

From the washington Post.
Yesterday specimen of the Jamaica ginger
victim entered a well-known drug store while
the latter was negotiating for some bloom of
youth. He was pitiful object He was well
dressed; and, in fact, he once ranked as lead
ing physician of Washington. He pleaded for
a little drink of Jamaica ginger. He moaned

saying:
zoo Gods sake, give me a little; only little,
and promise to go away. Please give me
some, if only drop"
Finally, he was given little, as the best way
out, and he watched the serving Of it with hun
cry eyes and outstretched hand. When he had
swallowed the drink he shook himself together,
his eyes frightened, and he braced up in great
shape. From being the most abject and pitia-

Spoilsmen Getting Alarmed.

| The President seems 10 be a disappoint-
ment to the spoismen Of his party in more
than one particular. He does not propose
to be in a hurry to turn democrats out of
office to make places for republicans, and
he does not intend to be controlled in max
ing appointments by the wishes Of members
of his cabinet, or other leaders of his party.
In the matter of appointments he appears
to be following pretty closely in the foot
steps of Mr. Cleveland If he does not vary
much from the course pursued by Mr..
Cleveland he will not go very far wrong.
The more the latter's administration is stud
led the more admirable it appears. He
kept steadily in view the interests of the
people, and of course he made enemies Of
the party bosses. The President will
have more respect for himself if he does
not permit himself to become the servant
of the party bosses.
1t is stated that when Virginia delega-
ton called on him a day or two ago, de-
manding the appointment of postmaster
at Richmond, he asked if there were a
vacancy in the postoffice of that city, and,
being answered in the negative. said that
he would listen to recommendations of ap-
plicants for the office when there was a
vacancy. If he continues this policy he
will soon be bitterly denounced by the
spoilsmen, and will be more unpopular
with the party bosses than Mr.. Cleveland
was.
1t seemed to be the general impression
that Mr.. Blaine would name all the repre-
sentatives to foreign governments, but
1t begins to look as if tdls i'm
preston were incorrect. Mr.. Blaine, it
is said, had made up his mind that
Whitelaw Reid should have the English
mission, but the President doesn't propose
to give Mr.. Reid that place. OF course
both Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Reid are disap-
pointed, but they have been convinced
probably that the President doesn't intend
to surrender to the party bosses.
Gov. Alger is another of the disappointed
the solicitorship of the treasury, but he
didn't get it.
The few grumbles of discomfort that are
now heard will swell into howl of rage if
the President sticks to the programme
which he appears to have mapped out 1t
remains to be seen whether or not he has
sufficient backbone to resist the spoilsmen.
If he yields, he might as well say to the
country at once that be doesn't intend to
enforce the civil service reform laws
because the spoilsmen will give him no rest
until he has filed all the offices with repub-

couples, and it is expected that the most
beautiful women in the country will take
part in it. OF course, if the women are
selected because they are really beautiful,
the most of them will be from the south,
and Georgia will furnish more than any
other state. A good many are likely to
deny that Georgia would be the most
numerously represented, but no attention

simply Jealous of Georgia, the empire state

dealing with it. If the north is rritated because
the south is solid, then the north is fratting on
account OF its own blindness or stupidity. The
