THE WATER TRoUGHs.
To the Age-Herald:

You and your humane correspondents,
who have been assailing the action OF the
City Council in cutting off the water from
the pools for stock, are no doubt influences
by the purest motives. but you materially
underestimate the cost to the city or the
water furnished for this purpose me
books of the city show that the water
Company charges $52S per annum for fur
nishing the four troughS with water-hence
the cut off. The. truth of the matter Is
that the Water Company should furnlsh
free of charge water for such use, as the
companies do in other cities, since they
are paid such enormous sums for other
uses The Woman's Christian Temperance
union has furnished free ice water for the
use of men who are inclined to frequent
draughts, though understand careful esti7
mates show that these barrels could be
supplied with beer at about the same price
the Water Company charges for water.
Why not the Cruelty to Animals Society
make deal for watering the horses anu
mules? ALDERMAN +
The Age-Herald insists that it is the
duty of the city to supply these pools
with water, even if it costs 5000 per an
mum. OF course it would be better for
the water company to do so. and the ex-
ercise of a more liberal policy on the
part of that company would meet the
hearty appreciation of the public. 1t is
difficult to understand how it is possible
that the charge can be so much as
stated The Age-H Herald is informed that
there is but one meter used to measure
the water in all of these pools, and that
one is on Morris avenue, where most
water is used-the others being estimated
thereby. If this is true the city is being
greatly imposed upon by the water COM
pany, and somebody has been neglect
ing duty. Turn on the water and meas
ure it.

The mining States of the Northwest
produce both gold and silver. When
there is a demand for gold they turn
their attention to that metal, and when
there is a demand for silver they turn
their mining industry toward its produc-
ton. They are like the farmers of the
South who have both cotton and corn
to depend on. If there is a demand for
cotton they plant a larger acreage and
buy their corn in the West. If there is
a demand for corn they substitute it in
the place of cotton. The difference be-
tween the Western mine owner and the
Southern farmer is this: The mine owner
calls on the government to regulate the
price of the metals, while the farmer
allows commercial laws to regulate the
price Of cotton and corn.

John G. Carlisle. that great Kentucll-
ian, who, as scholar, statesman and man,
towers so high above the common herd
of mortals, whose voice in the councils
of the nation has an hundred times
stayed the hand of oppression as it
reached toward the South, and whose
matcbless eloquence has in an hundred
contests borne the flag of Democracy to
victory, was denounced by the chairman
of the free silver meeting in Birmingham
last night as being like unto Judas
Iscariot. lacking only the responsibility
of having hanged himself Not even the
tongue of the rankest Republcanism
ever used such vituperation against a
Democrat of so much prominence and
whose public career has made his life
one of the brightest pages in the history
of the Democratic party. who is this
chairman. anyhow? Has he always
been a Democrat? or was he ever one?

The appeal for cheap money is ad-
dressed by the demagogue tothelaboring
people, in an effort to mislead them. In
this day and generation the working man
is a reader and a reasoner, and he knows
that there never has been a time when
the wages Of labor had 50 much purchas-
ing power as now. Big, bright, but de-
based, silver dollars cannot allure the
working man. He feels that his labor
should be rewarded with honest dollars.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-06-01

a prominent Democrat of oxford, N.
c., in an article published concludes as
follows: "Now is the opportunity of the
century for the Southern States. Let
the Democratic party put forward its
highest representatives as leaders
around whom to rally it's forces Let it
inaugurate an aggressive policy. Let
it brand the free silver movement by the
name that fits it, viz. reputation. Let
it thus give assurance that it stands as
1t always has stood in the South, for hon
or honesty, and all the other high prin-
ciples which it's members cherish. Then
will it find friends in every State by the
100, 900, and the issue of 1896 will no longer
be in doubt"

PRIVATE GILL'S CASE.

Nothing I'm the Conduct of the Case to
Reflect on His Counsel.
In The Star of August II, under the cap
tion. "Only a Private" appeared the fol-
lowing ragraph:
when the Secretary of War considers
Gill's case he will look into the charge
verience in the hands of Birkimer that he
volunteered his services TO Gill merely to
betIay him by advising that he plead guilty
without having an explanation of the spe-
cially aggravating circumstances under
which the fracas occurred. If the Secre-
tary should decide that the court-martial
was irregular Gill would be tried again.
and if that is done he will be provided
counsel that can be trusted to conduct his
case with a view of his interests, and for
this purpose a number of subscriptions
have already been offered. 1t is SAID that
the counsel for Gill was a lawyer whose
chief business is to defend officers who arc
called before courts-m s-martial.'
A careful investigation of the above
statements since their publication shows
hat, so far as they reflect upon the pro-
fessional conduct of Mr.. George K. French,
who represented Gill before the court-mar-
tial, they are incorrect and calculated, un-
Intentionally the part of The Star, to
do Mr.. French serious injustice. The pub
lcation concerning the charge against Sir.
French was based on statements made to
Star reporter by parties supposed to be
well-informed and reliable. The Star is
satisfied that there was nothing in Mr..
French's conduct of GiITs case to authorize
the published statement critcising his
fidelity to his clients interests, and in fair
ness readily makes the amends of this pub

A SNUB TO THE AMEER.
Will Not BE Allowed n Representative
in England.

LONDON, August 22-A!though the
greatest secrecy is observed or the subject
in official circles, the Associated Press has
ascertained that the story which the Chron-
icle printed this morning regarding the
reason why the ShaZada Nazrulla Kahn,
the second son of the Ameer Of AfShanis-
tan, does not return home is virtually cor
rect.
The Chronicle says: 1T is ruTnored from a
good source that the ameer has forbidden
the shaZada to return until he has secured
Great Brita.nS consent that the ameer
shall be automatically represented at Lon
don. He desires to deal directly with the
government instead of through the viceroy
of India. This Impossible demand is sup
posed TO explain the shaZadas s long stay
According to the information obtained by
the Associated Press, a few weeks ago the
shazada visited the queen at Windsor castle
and personally informed her majesty that
It was the ameer's desire to he dipionati-
cally represented at London instead of
dealing with the British government
through the viceroy of India.
The shaZada- expected an immediate an
sWer, but her majesty replied thai she
could not decide without consulting her
ministers. Last week the shazada received
a definite refusal, and the situation aow is
unpleasant, if not serious. as the refusal
amounts 10 a Stub to the amaar and it is
thought this may affect the relations be-
tween Great Britain and Afghanistan

THE RESULT IN OHIO
How It is Regarded by the Administration
and Its Friends.
A Big Victory for Sound MOney-MOre
Important Than Thnt Achieved
In Kentucky.

The administration people regard the re-
suit at the Ohio convention as really
important victory for sound money" The
overthrow of the free coinage forces is
the most serious blow the silver faction of
the democratic party has yet had. AS
much as possible was made by the aimin-
is ira ton of Carlisle's victory in Kentucky,
but everybody realized that it's Importance
was exaggerated. There were many ele-
ments in that contest to render the victory
not great nor unexpected.
In Ohio the situation was different. The
democracy of that state was regarded by
the silver men as committed to free COIN
age, and they counted on the votes of that
delegation and its influence as very I'M
portant to their securing control of the
democratic national convention next year.
The result of this convention puts an end
to all such calculations. But, worse than
that, the silver men fear that it may dis
courage their followers and lead to other
defeats in unexpected quarters. There is
possibility, and many thirk a probability,
that even the Illinois democracy, which has
taken a lead for silver, will be won over to
sending sound money delegation to the
national convention.
When the convention in that state was
held the .silver fever was at its most
emotional height, and it was expected by
the friends of the white metal that the
action in Illinois would be epidemic among
democrats in other states. The fact that
it has not been SO, it is believed, will
rob the movement in Illinois of much of
it's dramatic enthusiasm and increase the
chances of the administration democrats
regaining control there, as they have in
Ohio. This is the view of the situation
taken by the members Of the administra-
ton hcre, and it is known to be Mr.. Cleve-
lands view.
The thing which Mr.. Cleveland and his
lieutenants want particularly is to hold
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana to sound
mol ey.' They are hopeful that Indiana
will, when the time comes, follow in the
line of Ohio, and that then Illinois democ-
racy will come scrambliug back up the
lark. With all three of these states and
Kentucky and Maryland for sound
money" and some of the southern states
very shaky in the silver ranks. the ad-
mnistration calculates that the silver men
would be in very bad form to get control
of the 'g;t convention

The Magic by Which COlOred Mans
GTeenbacks Disappeared.
William H. Moore the colored '.voodoo"
doctor, who was recently sentenced to one
year in Jail for swindling, was in court
again today. This time he got s. from
colored countryman at the market. When
he approached the countrynan and sug
gsstcd that he would tell his fortune, the
latter said he did not want his fortune
told.
But said Moore to him. "it won't cost
you anything. I'll tell your fortune, and
when my father. who Is a preacher, comes
around you may put something in his
basket"
This satisfied the countryHan, and Moore
looking at his hand, said: "These lines
show you a Eard-working man
THAT l am" the ccuntryman said.
Then ii was necessary, according to
Moore's statement, to have some green
hacks, and the countrymaE produced three
cne-iollar bills.
These were tied in handkerchief, so the
countryman thought, and then the hand
kerchief was put in a cabbage leaf.
You put this in your BOSOM" said
Moore, ''and keep it there while l go over
and get some salt.
Moore went for the salt, but did not re-
turn, and much to the countrymans sur
prise, the money was not tied in the hand
kerchief.
a sentence OF six months was imposed.

Mr.. OlDey Seeking to Retrieve the Adj
minfstratiOn's UnpOpularity.
The latest semi-official output of in
formation as to the attitude of the admin
tstration toward France in the Waller
case and Spain as to the payment of the
Mora claim is accepted as indicating de-
sire on the part of Secretary Omey to over
come the impression that our foreign pol
icy is woefully weak.
1t is said that Mr.. Olney is very anxious
to retrieve an unpopular foreign policy by
means of the Waller ease. The depart
ment. in accordance with the custom CT
this administration, was at first disposed
to take none but the most formal and
perfancto..y action in this case. Every
rtterance the subject and the manner
In which appeals in behalf of Waller were
received indicated an entire lack Of in
terest. At length it seems that public SEN
timent is having an effect, and the intima-
tion is mysteriously given out that there is
to be a vigorous foreign policy.
A good many of Mr.. Clevelands friends
who have not differed with him as to other
matters, have been dissatisfied on account
Of the weakness at this point. They do
not like the idea of any declaration in IA
vor of manly foreign policy being re-
garded necessarily criticism of this

Matter Nor Injured.
Acting Secretary Adee today received a
note from Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish
minister to the United States, saying that
the Turkish government mad informed
him a thorough investigation had been
made of alleged outrages on Americans at
Tarsus. The result of these Investigations,
he wrote was to the effect that the cook in
the family of Prof. Christie of st. Pauls
Institute at Tarsus had been assaulted by
native Turks, and that no Americans were
concerned in the matter nor injured. Nav
royeni Bey stated that the Turkish Offend
ers would be tried and punished. The State
Department expects to receive informa-
ton on the same affair from United States
officials in Turkey, as Minister Terrell
advised the department some time ago
that he had taken steps to have the matter
Investigated.
