The most formidable objection to
the city's purchasing the water works
is in the danger that when acquired,
they would be converted into politi-
cal machine and be run in the inter-
est of clique, a faction, or a party,
that isto say, so run as to perpetuate
itself in power. Municipal corruption
seems to be we'll nigh an inevitable
evil, in nineteen this of the cities of the
Union. do not mean to say this evil
has reached San An tonic, but only
that is scarcely wise to prepare
hot-bed for the seed of
municipal corruption to terminate
in. The more power and patronage
is bestowed on municipal corpora
tons, the greater is the temptation
to them to slide into corruption and
the greater is the opportunity for
them to cover up corrupt acts and
jobs. These thought are worthy of
the consideration of conservative men
of all shades of political opinion.

CHIRITIBLE EMPRESS.
Public opinion in France often cen
sured the Empress Eugene for hel
fondness for dress and her devotion to
frivolous pleasures; but one of hel
ladies of honor, Madam Carette, says,
in her "Reccollections of the Court Of
the Tuileries," that in her private life
the Empress dressed with much less
elegance than ordinary Young women,
and that only in her political toilets
those which she wore on state occasions
did she appear luxurious.
Madam Carette tells numerous an
ecdotes which exhibit the Empress il
the character of a Sister of Charity go
ing from place to place to do good.
Upon her marriage, the city of Paris
offered the Empress a six-hundred-
thousand franc necklace. She declined
the gift, and asked that an asylum fol
orphan girls might be founded with the
money.
She was interchangeable in visiting
charitable institutions, going forth with
her purse full, and returning with il
empty. She sought out those who had
been overtaken by misfortune. One
day benevolent lady, while going mp
stairs to visit poor invalid, passed two
ladies coming down. She recognized
one of them as the Empress, and upon
reaching the chamber found the sick
woman radiant.
Two unknown ladies had called to Sc
! her. and one had made her bed and set
the room to rights. On leaving they
had placed generous sum of money il
the hand Of the poor woman, who nearly
tainted with emotion when she Learned
that she was indebted TO She Empress
1t would be easy enough" said the
Empress to Madam Carette, Ito send

and spoke to her, using such gentle
words that the hardened woman ex

1t must be true, then, that there is {

The woman became calm, asked th,
Sisters to forgive her, and died in the
act of praying.

One hundred letters were recently
sent to business men Of Atlanta,
taken indiscriminately from Brad

three replies were received. They
bear overwhelming testimony that,
!. "Sales of goods to workinglhen
have greatly decreased, when COM
pared with the prohibition period.
2. The proportion Of credit sales has
greatly increased, less being bought
for cash. 8. Business men are eel
ling . cheaper class Of goods than
In prohibition days." During the
time when prohibition was the law,
the Atlanta Constitution bore wit.
ness to the following: "That prohi.
bition did prohibit, that business
improved under the law, that form.
or saloons were occupied by trades.
men, that sales of legitimate goods
were largely increased, that the at.

was q marked decrease in crime.r

not prohibition that protects ua
