THE OLD SOLDIERS RESPOND

The Nebraska Journal, published at
Tecumseh, has a good hit on Gen. Sick
les and the circular which the general
is putting forth. A lot of veterans
out in Nebraska, sent the general let
ter. in which, among other things, these
veterans said: 1--WE are glad to learn
from so high an authority that Major
Mckinley is likely to be defeated
which you say is a fact unless he secures
the aid of the pldssoldiers.
1--WE painfully remember that during
the time when we were engaged in de-
Tending the life and honor of our coun-
try, we were paid, as follows: Major
generals, $40 day; brigadier-generals
81 day; colonels, $40 day: ma jors, IS
day, and privates FORTY-THREE
CENTS per day. We notice that the
same difference has been maintained in
the pension lists. We notice also that
men who held office in the army, at large
salaries, have been frequently honored
in private life with similar salaries.
"Now we have read somewhere that
all men were created free and equal,
but when pension day comes, we find
that neither we nor our wives rank
equally with you and your wives We
fear that you are speaking several
words for yourself, while mentioning

THE CITY WATER COMPANY

The City Water company has for
some months undoubtedly been exceed
ingly anxious to make deal with the
city. A definite proposition was to
have been put before the city council
first in July; then it was postponed till
August and now it has been laid on the
shelf-until after election. The direct
ors of the company have made little at
tempt to hide their, anxiety to get rid of
their property -at al Substantial and
handsome profit. I'VE have all been
long In the busin esssard would like to
make a clesin supsD saba prominent
member of the ~ board about three
months ago. After coquetting with the
council for several months the City Wa
ter company have deeidedto abandon
for the present any proposition for dis
posing of their property.
AS far as, the terms of the proposition
are concerned at what figure the prop
erty was to have been offered, only
speculation can be indulged in, for the
directors have maintained discreet
and rigid silence, While ,Jhe board be-
lieved it to be within their powers to
have made an OFFER to the city on their
own responsibility, it was deemed prop
er that every stockholder should be in
dividually consulted and his or her con-
sent gained. This somewhat delayed
the company's negotiations, but more
than two months ago seven-eighths of
the stockholders had subscribed them
selves as willing to sell. The proposition
was to have been made in answer to the
request of the city council dated May
4. 1896 1t is difficult to even approx
mate the probable figure at which the
company would be willing to sell. The
last offer they made to the cityswas in
October, 1892, when the sum was $685.
900. The only new property that the COM
pany has since acquired is the large
Bellevue reservoir, north Of Temple
street, on which considerable amount
of money has been expended, but dur
ing the last four years the increase Of
business done by the company owing to
the phenomenal growth of the popula-
ton has been very considerable, and it
is not likely that the offer of the COM
pany would be under three millions. The
offer that the company made to the city
in 1892 was pigeon-h but over a
year later, on December &c. 1893, the city
made an offer of 81, 400, 1885,. so, over mill
ion less than the company's previous
price. That offer was made as the re-
suit Of the adopted report Of the water
supply committee, which consisted Of

$497,1S5 $1,490, 2S2. so
This offer the company felt they could
not seriously consider, besides pointing
out that the property was not then Of
fered for sale. and the offer was formally
declined on January 5, 1893
For nearly five months the company
has been contemplating an offer to the
city, but have suddenly withdrawn. The
reason is not far to seek. An election
is at hand and the water company is
vitality interested in it as far as the ap-
pointment of city officials is concerned.
1t is understood that the water COM
pany will have representatives in both
parties, whose election they hope to
carry for their ultimate advantage. Any
attempt of the water company to infiu-
ence the selection and election of coun-
cilmen or any other city official must be
carefully watched for and promptly
turned down. The water company will
have to face the organization known as
the Better City Government league and
discover whether its interests are within
or without, if they have not already
done so, but The Herald hereby serves
notice to the water company that its
dStiohc diu uCSiShS tAiS SdHiPdiSh
will be carefully watched and exposed.
Any candidate with the faint of the
water company's influence will be prop
erly regarded with suspicion by the peo-
pie, and cannot hope for election. 1t is
the peoples business to elect represen-
tatives who, they believe, are honest
and competent in dealing with all mu-
nicipal matters, the mOmentous city
water question included. Interference
from a corporation so vitality interested
cannot for a moment be tolerated. The
negotiations between the city and the
water company have for years been of so
hopeless a character, the difference be-
tween the company's and the city's es-
innate of the value of the property is
evidently so wide, that it would seem
the only solution of the problem will he
probably be action entirely Independent
of the water company. According to the
opinion of several experts more salts
factory plant could be put in either by
the city itself or other parties at consid-
erably less figure than that which it is
believed the city water company will de-
mand. At all events, the company can
commit no greater indiscretion nor do
anything more likely to antagonize the
people than any attempt to control the
city election.

REVENUE AND ECONOMY

The heavy treasury deficit for July
and August will, of course, be used ex-
clusively as an argument for Mckinley
and protection, since portion OF the
Republican press having wearied of fu-
tile efforts to combat arguments in IA
vor of the vital issue Of the campaign.
the reconciliation of silver, has turned
to the tariff for consolation and is We
hemently believing that protection
is the paramount issue. 1t has been pos
event Of McKinleys election no protec-
| tive measure could possibly pass con-
gress at least for two years, but this
makes no difference with Republican Or
gans whose mission it is to endeavor to
confound the issue and draw the wool
over the eyes of the people.
The question of revenue is, however,
one that no citizen can afford to
overlook in any campaign. The
New York Journal of Com
merce lately published a valuable
article proving that it has not been the
lack of revenue but the lack of econ
omy that is responsible for the heavy
deficit. If the congress of the United
States had applied the ordinary precau-
ton of the man of business to the ex-
penditure of the government, there
would have been no deficits in any de-
partment
The Journal of Commerce boldly
states that 1.-THE revenues are ample 70:
all necessary expenditures. The cause
of the deficit is extravagant appropria-
tions made by congress at time Of
stagnant business and low revenues,
when economy becomes imperative" In
