THE SLAVES.

The facts brought out by the ~investi-
CATION of the Ford's theatre disaster, and
the evidence furnished by those employed
in that branch of the war department
having its offices in the condemned build
ing, should cause some of the foot sore
and sole worn place-huuters, who have
become emaciated and pessimistic in their
long and protitless contact with Wash
ingtOn City pavements, to pause and CON
slider.
Let those who imagine that a clerkship
in the departments is a soft snap with a
salary and the privileges of a gay city
life at the other end, read what is told bv
those who have been there and take
warning.
Think for a moment of hundreds of
men and women working day after day
in a building which they all knew was
liable to collapse at any moment-a build
ing which had been condemned and
which was recognized by people gen.
orally as unsafe.
Think Of these same government clerks
going voluntarily into what they them
selves characterized as a death trap"
and not one of them ever daring to so
much as intimate to the Great and Awful

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

In the matter of city water. laying
aside all sy mpathy for the Boston COM
pany which worked this town, and which
has practically robbed it from The first
day of it's existence to the present time,
something should be done.
The miserable excuse of a water com
pany should be told by the city council
that the wretched service now offered
would not fill the bill. 1t should be
stated and with emphasis by tax payers
that they had wearied Of a service which
never met the contract, and consumers
should ring off or order an undertaken.
The talk about a filter is, we believe,
all moonshine. 1t does not take all sum-
mer TO place a filter. Any fool knows
that the water. company intends to con
tinue as it has to gull and rob these PEG
pie, and it is also our opinion that the
people propose to continue submitting,
and declare that the robbery is so deli
cious they would not think Of asking for
a change in the programme
And individuals may think this way
and act in the same way.
But the tax payers of Durham, those
who pay from the general city fund for
water which never yet has been furnished,
have a right to kick. They have a right
to declare the contract void, because the
water company has never lived up to
half of its agreements, and the city
health officer, if he has sworn to do his
duty and knows what he is doing,
must say under oath, that the water now
sent through the pipes is rank poison.
The filthy stuff comes to the town
from a reservoir on the surface of which
float the bodies of dead and putrid fish
comes to the town without being filtered
comes from a river and a side hill
which is alive with rotten vegetation and
decayed animal life.
And the people tamely submit to all
this outrage, and appear to be pleased to
enjoy the privilege-almost precious
of paying for this liquid death.
The city council owes it to these people
to declare the water company a nuisance
which il is, and demand that it give to
these helpless people a service which is
decent

IL REASON A

The reason why Durham county needs
a rock crusher is because her roads are in
a terrible condition and all the money
and work now put upon them is money
thrown away. A rock crusher can be
used to advantage-it will lower taxes,
and is not that what we all want to do
To illustrate The editor of TIE GLOBE
was out east of Durham a few weeks ago,
and he saw about thirty convicts working
the road. And the work done by them
was first class. There is no doubt about
that. The whole thing was smoothed up
and done up in the latest style. A few
days ago we passed over the same road,
and all that we had viewed four weeks
before was washed away. This is a fact,
and it is only one of the almost countless
facts concerning the present reckless and
expensive system Of road working and
road-making.
A rock crusher will utilize the rock
and stone which cover some lands for
miles, and when a road is made with one

It seems to us that it is business from
every standpoint to purchase the ma
chine. There is no use to dwell on the
fact that good roads save horse flesh
that they save vehicles; that they save
harness, and that they quicken time on
the road, and are an all around benefit.
