REVENUE FROM WATER RATES.

That was a proper resolution intro
duced in the city council by Mr.. Har-
dy, that the water tax roll shall be
"totaled up" and the amount of reve-
nue. to be derived from that source be
reported to the Council The increase
this year, when all the corrections
have been made, will be very great
over that of former years, In addition
to the clearly improper assessing of
places where no water is used, the
changes which have, perhaps, been le-
gally made are greatly in excess of
anything the water-users have had to
pay before.
In saying this we design to find no
fault with the superintendent of water
works or his department. We merely
state a fact that nearly every water
user in the city is aware of. There
may have been neglect in former
years. Or the previous assessors may
not have understood or construed the
law as the present officer understands
it. But it is undeniable that the
charges this year are away above
those of former years. and are an as
constituent and a burden TO the tax
payers.
The amount of the total revenue
from that source should therefore be
known to the city council. that the
matter may be justly regulated. The
inhabitants of this city own the water,
or the right to its reasonable use. The
city council holds power, as the agent
of the owners, to regulate its distribu-
ton. All expenses incurred for that
purpose may be met out of the reve-
nue. arising from the water rates. But
no more than what is needful for that
purpose can be legally exacted from
the water-rate payers.
We hope this matter will be kept in
view by the mover of the resolution,
and others who are interested in a
just distribution of the public burdens.
If the water rates collected in former
years have furnished sufficient reve-
nue. TO pay the expenses of the water
works department, then there is a big
excess this year, and the rates should
be cut or a different rendering given
to the ordinance as it stands The
Herald will keep its water eye open
to watch this matter for the benefit of
the public.

THE LITTLE ONES,

They peer down the great long street Of
life,
With it's human tide so furious,
And their sweet eyes open to note the
In a way so quantity curious;
While the grave, old-fashtoned looks
they cast
Seem fraugh.t with childish terror,
As they watch us rushing swiftly past
On our paths of doubt and error.
Their tiny hands toward US reach,
AS though they would check our hurry;
And in silent fashion they seem to
preach
To us, mid the rush and furry,
The truth we grown folks oft forget
In our race for fame and glory,
That Innocence is seldom met,
In life's innpasstoned story.
Poor little ones! Ger the. stony road
IitIe nj tbeV Know t Of the HORNS which
When it's cares around US ravel;
Little they reck of the storm which
beats
Ger those whom they love and cherish,
AS they hurry along through the
crowded streets
In the struggle Of life to perish.
But the time will come when near the
tomb,
Their eyes; grown old and weary,
VIII find that the web on Hfe's great
loom
Is forming a picture dreary;
When the toil-stained hands will help
less lie,
AS the storm clouds close around them.
And they'll note with many a weary sigh
The sorrows which will surround them.
We see them stand on the brow of The
hill,
Their arms stretched out to hold us,
And we think of the day when, calm and
In its grasp the grave will fold u.s.
And we know their feet will go hurry
ing by,
In the endless race for glory,
While we who sought it will silent lie,
Forgotten, like some old story!

Journal.

The Beaver Utonian complains of
money being sent TO eastern houses for
articles that can be bought i'm Beaver.
IN many cases too they could be pur-
chased as cheaply there as anywhere.
That is a very common fault. People
who cry Sustain home industries, -
will act contrary to their own theory,
and practically defeat what they pro-
claim. Surely, when goods can be
bought of as good quality and as low
in price as they can be had elsewhere,
the home purchase should have the
preference every time.

1t is always certain that our morning
contemporary is cornered when it be-
comes vituperative and personal, and
that is two or three times every week.
The question which it tries to dodge
just now is not what kind of a person
anybody else is, out the application of
the same extnavagant eulogy to large
number of persons who, on departing
this life, are obituarized by the dead
editor as THE only man of his kind
ever known on the coast" If it can
he explained how that fits them ala, our
incoming contemporary need not make
any reference to the living. We can
turn to itself the sentiments 1T expresses
as 10 the tack of likeness to either of
the deceased worthless named, and add
that the obituary writer, though unlike
them, is thought to bear a very strong
resemblance to the speaking animal
which Baaiam rode and che husband
OF the far-famed Sapphire.

NOW. AM on THE EARTH.

Now I am on the earth,
What sweet things love me?
Summer, that gave me birth,
And glowS ON still above me;
The bird loved a. little while;
The rose | planted;
The woman in whose golden smile
Life seemed enchanted.
Now am in the grave,
What sweet things mourn me?
Summer, that all joys gave,
Whence death, alas, hath torn me;
One bird that sang to me; one rose
Whose beauty moved me;
one eilangeless woman; yea, all those
That living loved me.

THE SILENT CRANK.
a Type That the Foreign Critic VIII Not
Be Able to Understand.

Type That the Foreign Critic VIII Not
Be Able to Understand.
There is one type of American citi-
zen which it is certain no foreign critic
will ever be able to understand. 1t
does not make much difference who
the critic may be, when he confronts
the type of silent and suffering base
ball crank he will be at sea. It is a
type that is familiar to all the attend
ants at the ball games and to the many
men who are acquainted with the
world of sports The bowling dervish
sort of crank is known to all men, but
the silent and suffering one usually
battles analysis. In the majority of in
stances he is a man of mature wears,
who has secured an important place in
the financial or commercial world. His
passion for baseball is a thing that
passes all understanding. He is on
hand at the games whenever it is pos
sible, but always takes a retiring and
unObtruSive seat where he sits with an
outward air of boredom and indif-
ference, but really suffering from
emotions that are violent and tempestu.
Gus. 1t is only when he grits his teeth,
drives his nails into the palms of his
hands, or suddenly lets out blood
curdling scream that the spectator
gets any idea of the emotions which
are aroused by the playing. At other
times the tremor of his eyelids or the
fierce fashion in which he bites his lips
as he watches the game indicate how
closely he participates in the fortunes
of the home team
There is one instance of banker of
sedate mien, with white mutton-chop
whiskers and a SNUG exterior, who,
when spoken to on the question of base
ball, smiles, shrugs his shoulders, and
refuses to be drawn into a discussion.
Yet at dinner at night he is wildly
jubilant or immoderately depressed. ac-
cording to the results of the DAYS
game. He has not missed game this
year, except on Tuesdays and Fridays.
when he is compelled to be present at
board meetings. He is only one of
literally hundreds of men who are
known to the frequenters of the ball
grounds. and who are wound up in the
national game to a degree of absorb
ton that even the devotees of racing
could not rival--N. Y. Sun.
