PACKERS PAY 700 LITTLE.

At the last meeting of the Council
Commissioner Jones presented re-
port which shows that six of the
largest packers are getting water
from the city for about half what it
would cost under the regular rates,
and also that, so far as he was able to
find, there is nothing to authorize
this reduction. The figures were
asked for by Aid. Ryan, and at his
request the report was ordered pub
lished. What he intends doing in
the matter is mystery Commits
sioner Jones said Tuesday that he
saw no reason why the packers should
pay any less for water than the brew
ers, all of whom are levied on at the
regular rate. He thinks the packers
should be brought in to see if they
can show any authority for the reduc-
tion in their favor, and, if they can
not, that the regular rate should be
levied. The difference would greatly
increase + e revenue of the water { f

not sure they would pay the regular

1t is an absolute necessity to have
pure water in Chicago, and especially
at this time.
At the conference of Health Com
missioners in New York a short time
ago, the question of Chicago's water
supply came up, and the most emf
nent men in the conference said that
you could not get supply Of pure
water, no matter how far out in the
lake you go, as long as the sewage
was allowed to flow into it. Chicago
needs a supply of pure water for
drinking purposes, as physicians will
not use the lake water without boil
ing it.
The Hygeia ordinance provides for
the bringing Of pure water to Chicago
homes Of all years in the history
of Chicago this is the one in which
pure water should be provided for
use Hundreds of thousands of Wis
itors from all parts of the world will
be here, an easy prey to maladies pc
culiar to this section and climate.
Nothing affords so certain a proven
tive to disease as wholesome. water
and plenty Of it. Chicago water does
not meet the requirements at this
time. A polluted lake, with openings
of tunnels near the shore, has in
previous years produced disease and
death. Juries of scientists have so
reported, at large expense to the city.
Filtration and boiling may kill dis
ease germs, but also kill the water.
What is the objection to the water
being piped here?
There can be none.
Let the Council do its honest duty
The provisions of the Hygeia ordi-
nance are understood
Its benefits are needed.
The Hygeia ordinance should pass,

the northwest turn at the foot of st.
James place. Away they go to the
great danger of the pedestrians that
venture TO cross the drives.
The park policemen are poor
sticks and spend more time
flirting with the nurse maids
than they do in patrolling the boule-
wards. When General Stockton was
dropped by Governor Altgeld, the
poor people who frequent Lincoln
Park lost valiant champion of their
rights He fought hard TO protect
their rights against the majority OF
the board, who recognized the rights
of the aristocrats alone. In his alb
sence the privileges of the masses ara
being curtailed. The number Of
signs, Keep off the grass, will in
crease, and If there be no change, no
one who hasn't shining dog cart
with yellow wheels will he allowed
within the park.
"But Mr. Waller said to-day that
he believed it would be necessary to
provide bridge for the people near
the Grant monument. 1t will be six
months before the iron bridge can be
completed, and in the meantime a
| temporary structure may be erected
for the public. The thousands OF
Chicago's citizens who regard Lincoln
Park with a deep-seated affection

Sioners with much interest"

an understanding. This is the cause
of all the trouble. The principal
business of the conference tomorrow
Will be 10 patch up peace.
Morrison is a candidate to sue
coed Cullom. 1t is intimated that
Altgeld favors him, expecting that
he (Altgeld) may succeed Palmer two
years later. Carter Harrison is an
ayowed Senatorial candidate. Mr..
Russell is the chief writer for Harri-
sons paper. 1t will be readily seen
why Morrison, who does not take a
broad view of things as a rule, is dis
posed to fight Russell and help the
Ewings and Stevenson to make
Richards Collector of the Port. The
chances, however, are that there
will be an agreement on the follow

M'AULiFf STRIKES 1T HARD.

THE EAGLE is glad to see that that
talented example of aggregated in
tellectual virility and mental ac-
tivity, known on the poll list as Cor
nelius McAuliff, has at last tackled
something worthy of his plumbago.
In training the well-rifled cannon
of his wood-pulp man-ofwar on to the
errors of Lincoln Park management
he has proved at one fell swoop that
his engine of civilization is no mere
hitching Post for public opinion to
tie up to.
Lincoln Park is the peoples park,
and thousands Of people found their
own views echoed in the following
article in the Chicago Evening Post
of Wednesday:
"The owners Of Lincoln Park, the
people, are beginning to think that
their servants, the Park Commission
ers, deserve a Gliding. The guar
dams Of that magnificent pleasure
ground are becoming too independent
and too Indifferent to the peoples
will. For several years there has
been a disposition manifested by a
majority of the board to consider the
rights of the rich few of infinitely
more Importance than the rights OF
the masses, and the thousands OF
visitors at the park last Sunday
learned that the present board enter
tains the same undemocratic ideas

bridges have spanned the lagoon in
tervening between the wall and the

located just north and south Of the

means whereby people could reach The

or the Fullerton avenue end OF tn

MUSTACHE DAN IN TOWN..

simultaneously with the arrival of
Mustache Dan. the Presidents
lackey, in Chicago, Hon. James Sui
Ivan prints the following in his
widely read political column in
the Tribune: "Col Daniel S.
Lamont, Secretary of War, is
in town ostensibly to look after
some military affairs-the en-
campment at Washington Park, the
bridges over the river for the Metro
politan road, etc. 1t is believed that
his real business here is to consult
with the leading politicians over the
distribution of the principal Federal
offices There is some disagreement
about the distribu tion, and the Pres
ident wants to know how the land
lies and who are the candidates of
the strongest faction. Don Dickin-
son was here Monday and Tuesday.
Congressman Ben Cable was here at
the same time. He left yesterday for
Bloomington and st. Louis-to con-
suit leading politicians in those
places. He will be back tomorrow.
1t is probable that there will be a
conference then in which the big
men will participate.
THE principal fight is over the
Postmastership. Mr.. Lawler is clear
| ly out Of the race He can be Sub
treasurer or Marshal if he will grace
fully withdraw his claims at this
time. But he cannot be Postmaster.
This is understood. The leading can
didates now under discussion are E.
f. Lawrence, the banker, and Will
