Exnert Johnston,s Report.

The report of Engineer Johnston, of
Memphis on the water supply Of this city
is an interesting and able one. Our city
authorities now know just what the water
supply situation is, and what they must do
to insure to the city such a supply of water
as it needs Mr.. Johnston points out that
there is danger that the city may be left
without an adequate supply of water at any
time, because the pump now in use is being
worked beyond its capacity, and therefore
is liable to break down.
Mr.. Johnston says that artssian water is
preferable to river water, and he gives good
reasons for saying so. Although the wells
at the water works are not supplying as
much water as the city requires. he has no
doubt that artesian water, sufficient to
supply a much larger city than this, can
easily be obtained. More wells are needed
and they must be more widely separated
than those at the water works. The big
well on the Springfield plantation is not
affected by the wells at the water works.
This fact. Mr.. Johnston thinks, affords
satisfactory evidence that Savannah can
get all the artesian water she wants, or is
likely to want, however great the increase
in her population may be-
Now that the city authorities know what
the water supply situation is, the thing for
them to do is to 60 to work pr IMPLY and
energetically in the direction pointed out by
Mr.. Johnston. A new water works plant is
necessary. 1t Will cost a good deal of course
to put into practice Mr. Johnston's sugges-
but hot L.
stand in the way of an increased water sup
ply. 1t would cost about as much to get an
increased supply from the river as from
artesian wells, and as artesian water is
preferable the work of preparing for an
increased supply of that water should be
begun at once.

The Stranger on the sill.
80 VIC S@@A-
From fhs Boston, GI0be

From the Boston Globe.
Between broad fields of wheat and corn
Is the Lowry home where was born;
The psach tree leans against the wall,
And the woodbine wanders over all;
There is the shaded doorway still.
But strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the BARNARD, as Of yore,
can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng,
Ana hear the p5wees mournful song;
But the stranger comes-O. painful proof
His sheaves are piled TO the heated roof.
There is the orchard-the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours OF ease
And watched the shadowy moments run
III my Lfe lmbibed more shade than sun:
The swing from the bough still sweeps the air,
But the strangers children are swinging there.
There bubbles the shady spring below,
With its bulrush brook where the hazels grow:
Twas there | found the calamus root
And watched the minnows poise and shoot,
AND heard the robin lave his wing,
But the strangers bucket is at the spring.
o ye who daily cross the sill,
step lightly, for love it still;
AND when you crowd the old barn caves,
Then think what countless harvest sheaves
Have pa ssed within that scented door
To gladden. eyes that are no more!
Deal kindly with these orchard trees;
And when your children crowd their knees
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart,
AS IL old memories stirred their heart;
To youthful sport still leave the SWING,
ana In sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn, the trees, the brook, the birds,
The meadows, with their lowing herds,
The woodbine on the cottage wall
Ny heart still fingers with then all.
Ye strangers on my native sill,
Step lightly, for love II still

He Included FRIDAYS.

Speaker Reeds dry humor and the apparent
fairness with which be is now exercising his
arbitrary powers, says the New York Star, are
gradually wearing away some of the outward
manifestations of antagonsrn. One or two lit
tie sallies OF wit on his part lately have been
greeted with hearty laughter and applause on
the democratic side. He has also gained some
good will by his evident purpose to curtail as far
as he can the reckless extravaganza of his party
associates. In pursuance of that object he
tried yesterday to have the regular order for
Friday, which is the consideration of
private jobs, superseded by caliug
up for consideration the regular legis.
lative appropriation bill. One of the members
from Tennessee who had private bill he wanted
to get up was very Wig rous In his protest
against the speakers ruling. He rose to par
hamentary inquiry. The speaker was all atten-
ton. He wanted to know whether Friday was
not the only day on which private bills could be
called up under the rules. The speaker said
Yes" The irate gentleman from Tennessee
then further inquired whether the appropriation
bill. which was now being pushed forward had
not tbs right of way every day of the week
With his most exasperaling drawl, Mr.. Reed
replied, Yes, including Fridays" The Tennes-
see inquirer subsidized amid shouts of laughter.

The Situation in Brazil

The political situation in Brazil is not
very encouraging for the republic. Our
dispatches yesterday stated that the idea of
dispensing with the constituent assembly,
and of establishing a constitution by de-
cree Of the provisional government, subject
to the ratification Of the voters, had been
revived This looks very much as if the
provisional government was afraid to
have an assembly, chosen by the people,
meet.
1t was stated few days ago that num-
Der of experts, appointed by the provis-
ional government, were at work framing
constitution. A constitution framed in
that way would be, of course. in accordance
with the wishes of those who are now in
power, and not in harmony with the ideas
OF the people. There Is no doubt, however,
that the provisional government could
insure the ratification of any constitution
that it might establish. It would have con-
troll of tho polling places and of the ballot
boxes, and it could easily find way to
secure whatever result it desired.
1t seems that there have been attempts at
revolt recently among the troops, and the
dispatches yesterday said that several of the
ministers had resigned. Signs like these
indicate feeling of discomfort, and per-
haps lack of confidence in the provisional
government. The head of that government
has taken the trouble recently to announce
several times his determination to see the
republic firmly established and then to
retire to private life. He may be siacsre.
1t seems rather strange, however, that he
should feel called upoa to assure the people
that ne is dealing honestly with them and
that he intends to continue to do So His
actions should speak for him. 1t would not
be surprising if there should be serious
trouble in Brazil before the republic is
established

Larger Pensions Wanted.

The disabled ex-confederate veterans of
South Carolina are no. satisfied with the
50 month which the state gives them
They are circulating an address in which
they call upon their ex-confederate COM
lators of only those men who are in ia vor
of giving Co each ex-confederate soldier
who has lost an arm or u leg $3.50 year,
and TO each ex-conf sderate soldier who is
disabled in other respects 800 year.
There are many ex-confederate soldiers in
each of the southern states who are suffer-
ing great hardships. Very few of them
complain, however. Their courage, endur-
auce and industry are marvellous. They do
not ask for assistance except in extrem Q
cases, and the wonder is that there are SO
few who are dependent.
In the north there are hundreds of thou
sands Of ex-union soldiers who are living on
the bounty of the government. and who
will continue to do SO as long as they live.
Already more than a thousand millions of
dollars has been paid to them, and Senator
ingalls, in an intervie " the other day said
that before the pension business, growing
out of the war of secession, was finally
settled more than four thousand millions
would be paid in pensions.
The southern states are doing as much as
they think they can for the disabled ex-
confederates They are not doing a great
deal, however. As their prosperity in-
creases they ought to do more. 1t is prob
able that they could do more now without
increasing their burdens to any appreciate
extent. 1t is true that they are not rich,
and that they have to provide for the edu-
cation of the blacks. who contribute little
or nothing for educational purposes. but
they are prosperous and they have a very
promising future.
The ex-confederates who are able to work
do not ask for anything. Only those who
are totally or partially disabled ask for
assistance, and they should receive it. They
should be given enough to make them rea-
sonably comfortable

Are Senators Overworkedq

For long time the public has had an i'm
preston that United States senators are
not as attentive to their duties as they ought
to be, and there is a suspicion perhaps that
they are overworked. This suspicion, how
ever, can hardly have any foundation.
Each senator has a clerk, who Is paid by
the government. to attend to his corre-
spondence. and' the senate does not meet
until noon and does not remain in session
more than four or five hours. AS a general
thing there is no session of the Senate on
Saturday. Itoan hardly be, therefore, that
the senator's have more work than they
can attend to properly.
1t appears to be difficult, however, to get
them to attend the sessions of the Senate.
II the public criticised them for neglecting
their duties they might retort that the
public does not know what it is talking
about, but they can make no such answer
when they are criticised by some of their
own number. On Friday three senators, Mr..
Call, of Florida, Mr. George, of Mississippi,
and. Mr.. Blair, of New Hampshire, COM
planned that the business of the Senate
could not 60 on because there were so few
of the senators in their seats. Mr. Call, in
speaking of the way senators neglected their
duties, said that if the people could only
look into the Senate chamber, they would
form an opinion that the day was passing
when senators we're of any use in the gov
eminent of the country.
When Mr.. Call made this statement a
matter of great interest to the people of
hafa tba
that Mr.. Call was explaining-but the great
majority of the senators did not appear to
want to know anything about it. They
preferred to sit in the cloak rooms and swap
stories ana talk politics, or to enjoy them
selves in the Senate restaurant. They will
have to vote of course upon the
land forfeiture bill, which Mr.. Call was
discussing when he turned aside to COM
ment upon the iuattention of senators, aud
they will not be prepared 20 do SO intelli-
gently. If the senators continue to neglect
their duties the people, without looking
into the Senate chamber. will began to ask.
as suggested by Mr.. Call, whether or not
senators are of any use IN the government
of the country. They will not only ask that
question, but they will consider the advise
bility of .abolishing the Senate as being a
useless institution.
There ara q great many very able men in
the Senate, but too many members of that
body fail to appreciate the responsibilities
of their position. They regard the Senate
chamber as an arisrocratic loafing place.
In the cloak rooms and restaurant they
find congelial companions, and there they
spend the time that they ought to devote to
the interests of the country.

Tired of Protesting.
