IN THE AUSTRIAN CAPITAL.

The Jewish citizens of Vienna. among
whom may be named the eminent philan-
thropist Baron Hirsch, have erected in
the Tempelgasse a handsome synagogue.
1t was built by the famous architect
Forster, and is a brick edince, in the
Moorish style. As an innovation upon the
accepted severity of style common to all
Hebrew temples, the atrium of this syna-
gogue has been elegantly decorated with

THE LowLANps OF HOLLAND.

Complete religious liberation has long
prevailed in Holland. The Jews form one
tenth of the population of Amsterdam, and
possess ten synagogues. The largest is
that of tire Portuguese Jews, in the Muider-
STRAIT, and said TO be an imitation of the
temple of Solomon. 1t possesses large
number of costly jewels. The wealth of
the Jewish community still renders it one
of the most influential in Amsterdam.

THE WATER SYSTEM.
A Very Profitable Investment
for the City.
SURPLUS OF $4,000 A YEAR.
Present Condition of the Construction
Aecount-Work Completed and
Yet to BE Done.

As an election will take place on Janu-
airy 26, for the purpose of giving the people
an opportunity to decide whether or not
they will authorize an issue of 1851. $50,
il viii be interesting TO know what mas
been done with the money received from
the previous issue.
On June 4, 1890, an election was held at
which bonds were authorized to be issued
TO the amount of ss45, 600 for the purchase
OF the Spring Hill water-works and $llo,-
600 for sewerage purposes, making total
of 1856, 600 They bear five per cent. IN
terest and become due in 1910 1t was
proposed to apportion the proceeds as fol-
lows.
To pay balance due Spring Hill Water
Tstimated cost OF pine lines and hreboat. 10000
Estimated cost Of additional pumps, ETC., : 90
at Lake Washington. .............,-...- l0,oV
Estimated cost of foreman from Lake
Washington TO the barbor ....-...--..... s9,oo
Pipe and labor for distributing main.... olo'Voo
Tote, $50, 900
These estimates were furnished by Mr..
Benezette Williams and the work has been
continued under his direction.
The bonds were sold to y. w. Harris d
Co., of Chicago, financial agents, but the
bonds were placed in escrow with the
Chase National bank, of New York, and
under the contract are being delivered to
the firm in blocks of $4,000, as the money
is needed by the city. Fifteen days notice
is required of each draft upon the firm.
The city council has recently made two
calls upon the firm, amounting to $780, 600.
The work has been rapidly pushed as the
necessity for water supply was very urgent.
One result is, however. that the expendi-
ture has been considerably in advance of
the availability of funds. The present con-
dition of the construction account is as

OPINIONS.
or NDIsTINGUIsHED DEMOCRATS IN
RELATION TO CLEvELAD SILL
YER LETTER.

The political sensation or to-day
il Grover Cleysland's Silver Letter
aad we give the opinions OF distiug-
uished Democrats in relation there
to. Senator Morgan, Of Ala: l
deeply regret that Mr.. Cleveland
cannot he nominated by the Dem
ocratic party. His attitude on the
subject Of Silver has killed his chan,
css. Senator Pugh, Of Ala: My
belief is that Mr.. CIeveland's letter
makes it certain that he will not be
the Democratic nominee in 1892.
Senator Berry. OF Arkansas: Cleve-
land cannot be nOminstsd in 18o2
Senator Harris Of TeAness: Mr..
Cleveland has greatly endangered
his prospects. Senator Coke, OF
Texas: The Democratic party is
irrevocah!y committed to free Sill
yer and Of course nir. Cleveland
cannot be nominated in 1892. Sen
ator Daniel Of Virginia: Mr
Cleveland is SO directly opposed to
his party on the Silver question that
he cannot be the party nominee.
Senator Vaace, Of North Carolina {:
Mr.. Cleveland has defied his party,
and his attitude is not only one oi
defiance. bat almost er insult. 1t is
now question whether the Dem
ocratic party will sacrifice Its princi-
pies or give mp Mr.. Cleveland. For
my own part prefer nv party to
Mr. Cleveland. Senator Vest, of
Missouri: Mr.. Cleveland made q
good President and | have been his
friend. hut no man is greater thao
the Democratic p&rty jefferson,
Madison, and jackson were greater
men than Mr.. Cleveland, but the
party survived them and will! sur
vive him. Similar opinions have
been expressed by Representatives
Crisp, OF Georgia; Mills, Of Texas:
Cnruta, of Kentucky; Hooker OF
Mls-lppi; O'Ferrail OF Virginia, and

It new appears quite probable that

OF bills is yet great After tho ffti-
eth day no more bills will be iutro-

The railway from Calcutta enters Benares
over a magnificent iron bridge just com
pleiei acres tie Gauges. 1t springs by noble

80 feet below the bed of the river We
paused at is northern end TO let out several
hundred pilgrims A strange sight they pre-
sentei in their various conditions. There
were Old women, almost bent double with in
iirInities Of age; there were young women,
