Gently conhiscated, but a jury has

FALSE THEORIES.

The theory that if the public water
works are established the people Of the
town will have no water rent to pay, is
as idiotic as the many other theories
some of the enthusiasts harbor. There
must be q revenue from the works TO
pay off the bonds and that revenue
must come either by IN assessment
on the people in the form of
water rent, or an assessment by
means of taxation. The theory that
even should there be an assessment it
would fall upon the shoulders of the
property owners, and not upon the
workingmen is equally foolish. Who
pays the water rent to-day? Is it not
apparent to all that the reason why
the workingmen are paying Sc so,
$3.50, $3.50, $3.50 and $1,000 per month
rent for their homes is that the $50"
goes to pay the water rent? Let the
workingmen beware of the false
theories. If the property owners are
to be assessed for the new water works
the increase will come out of the
pockets of the toilers-the rent payers.
Beware of false prophets.

the operations of the Central railroad
