brooklyn taxpayers evidently have good
reason for gratitude to the citizen who has been
instrumental in checking, for time at least the
proposed purchase by the city of the works Of
the Long island Water Supply Company. There
is no doubt that the price to be paid for the prop
elty is excessive, and, moreover, the charge is
made in an affidavit that this company some
tine ago tapped the cty'S waterpipcs and has
been drawing its water from that source. 1t
oppears that a statement covering these facts
was made to Mayor Chaplin before the bargain
with the company was drawn, but for some
reason he chose to regard ii as yaueleSs. The

The Baltimore SIM, Maryland's lead
ing newspaper, continues to keep pace
with the times. In the collection of
newS-foreign, domestic and local. its
facilities are comprehensive and eff
fective. Each department in this line
of its work is presented in succinct
shape and readable attractivencss.
The SIMS editorials are models of con-
sentative force and dignity of utter
ance, and they are always timely. Its
constant and consistent effort to be on
the right side of every public question
makes it a power in the land. To
Marylanders particularly its force and
Independence in the discussion of
State affairs make it newspaper of
special value.

The lamp of a life warm and true
went out when DR.. james Madison
Porter, our noblest citizen, died.
He was type of what is best i'll the
profession of medicine. He belonged
to a rank which justly acknowl-
edges no higher order in the realm
of human usefulness. and he adorned
its exalted fellowship. Nature en-
dowed him richly and education pol
ished and equipped an understanding
which a benign fate designed for the
healing of human ills. He loved his
vocation and to it he gave the unself-
ish devotion of a long lifetime. so
faithfully did he fulfill the VOWS made
at graduation to the calling Of his
early choice that, looking back over
his career, it is difficult to determine
which was the more honored by his
consecraton-the lofty shrine or the
noble devotee. He was prophylactic
in method and practice as well as
therapeutic, and the welfare of the
patient was never Subordinated to the
slightest mercenary interest Of the
physician.
TO his accomplishments as a prac-
titioner he added the requirements of
a scholar and the graccs of IL gentle
man. In the sick chamber he was
tender as woman and his voice sweet
and tuneful as child's. Outside he
fitted himself with equal Righteousness
to his environment. He was genial
as the occasion permitted, or brave as
the emergency demanded. And in all
and through all no character in this
vicinage has so long been maintained
with purpose so high or consistency so
unbroken.
The census of those who mourn to
know he is dead is legion. Scarcely
less the number who deplore his loss
as Of one honOred and beloved. He

Of each party in its strongholds.
And now comes a Kansas City

1t is Il significant fact that the republicans
of the North and the democrats of the South
are equally opposed to the formation of a
third party by the Farmers Alliance in
1892
SO 1t was with prohibition move
ment. Clashing on almost every other
