FACTS AND FIGURES.

The experience Of the past week
has called the attention of the pub
lie most forcibly to the matter OF
the city water works. Pullman
has most complete public water
system, in which the citizens have
long taken great pride, and which
has been looked upon in the light
of bank account. And SO it was
under economic administration,
and so it has ceased to be under
the present rule.
The conduct of the city's affairs
should be, as it doubtless is, of vital
Importance and interest to every
taxpaying citizen, for what affects
the city also affects him in ratio.
The true value of any system, or
plan of procedure, can only be
determined by the relation it bears
to other systems or plans in COM
parison. Comparisons may be
odious, but that the interested pub
lie may know something of the
inner workings of the Pullman
water system it must be compared
under its present management with
that of it's past
In November last Mr.. Gender,
who had been city engineer since
the establishment Of the plant, was
discharged and Mr.. Borland, who
is present engineer, was engaged.
The salary Of $50 per month was
unchanged. During the four
months of Mr.. Borland's incum-
bency there have been many com
plants against his competency for
the position, and when, last week,
the pumping station failed to work,
and incalculable injury was done
to the we'll and plant, and the city
has been for a week without pro-
lection from fire, it appears that
that complaint was not without
grounds.
Admitting that the pump might
have failed, through injury, to do
its duty in the hands of any engin-
eer, the facts and figures before us
prove indisputably that Mr.. Bor-
land has not been a success, eco
nomically, and that the water sys-
tenn, both plant and fund, are in a
deplorable condition.
The city records show that dur
ing the four months of Mr.. Bor-
lands service the city has paid
$36O.S0 for fuel, or over 500 per
month. Of this fuel what is now
on hand only offsets the amount
that was on hand when Mr.. B. took
charge.
During the year 1898, when the
water works supplied more people
than at any period before or since,
the total expenditure for fuel was
$969.51, an average of $80SO per
month. Considering the fact that
in that year double the amount of
water was pumped, and that fuel
cost at least one-third more than
now, the city's expense for fuel
should be greatly decreased. In
1898 the city paid 1915 for its coal.
The expense being $1,000 per
month accounts for the use of a

Po.ulist party. and also his qualification
that the Democrats and Populists had been
able to unite upon an electoral ticket in so
many states. He said that, while he would
tnl.e no part in local affairs, he did feel
justified to urge those who believe in free
coinage to concentrate their votes to de-
feat the common enemy. Where fusion is
accomplished the fusion ticket deserves the
support of all friends of silver. He said
if fusion was not arranged in Tennessee he
hoped the Populists would cast their votes
for the Democratic electors. and thus make
their election certain. as 10 vote for the
PCpulist electors. who had no hope of elec-
tiCn. would be an aid to the Republicans.

THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.

Washington. Oct. 5.-Sscretary o'ney has
returned to Washington from his summer

sumed the duties of his Office. He brought

tention during his absence from the city.
Matters are said to be in better shape
than usual at the department at the be-
ginning of the winter season. The Nene-
zuelan controversy has progressed slowly.
but in the main satisfactorily, during the
past summer and couple of notes have
been exchanged between Secretary Olney
and Lord Salisbury since the publication
of the last batch of correspondence. They
are understood to be purely argumentaiive
in tone, and while they do not by any
means of themselves bring the negotia-
tions up to the closing point they mark
fair degree of progress toward the clear
ing away of mutual misunderstandings ana
tend to simplify the efforts making on both
sides not only to adjust the Venezuelan is
sue itself satisfactorily. but to effect an
agreement at least upon a general set of
principles that shall govern the settlement
OF futures disputes between United States
and Great Britain by means of general ar
bitration.

BRYAN in TENNESSEE.
and One Popultst Meeting in
Nashville Inst Might

Nashville. Tenn, Oct. 5.-The greatest
crowd that ever turned out to a political
meeting in this city crowded about the
streets here tonight shouting and yelling.
cheering and applauding, and listened with
marked attention to the triple nominee on
his arrival tonight. The train bearing the
parry was due at S:3S, but was ten minutes
late and 1t was nearly 9:l5 O'clock when
Mr. Bryan addressed his first audience in
this city at the Haymarket tonight.
At that meeting the five acres of ground
in the enclosure was fully half filled with
people. who cheered the candidate wildly on
his appearance. A glee club of thirty male
voices opened the meeting with Home.
Sweet Home" the old-fashioned melody
which the nominee has declared to be his
campaign song. The candidate was then
introduced by Senator Bate as the next
president OF the United States. He was
cheered and appfauded throughout his
speech.
After concluding his Haymarket speech
Mr.. Bryan was taken TO the Athletic park
where he made a ten minute address. Civ
ing his explanation of the 5o-cent dollar and
he appealed to his audience to study the
money question and vote as they saw fit.

REGIMENT ANB BAND PARADE.

Entertain Kansas City's Visitors In
Spite of the Rain.
The Third regiment and its band paraded
the principal business streets Of the city
last night. All the newspaper Offices were
serenaded. The regiment was to have
acted as an escort for Kween Karnation
in the parade. which was postponed on ac-
count of the rain. AS the members of the
regiment had all assembled at the armory,
Twelfth street and Troost avenue, accord
ing to orders issued several days ago. Col
onel Gross decided to take the boys out
for parade in spite of the drizzling rain,
thinking that the many visitors who had
arrived in the city during the day would
appreciate the efforts Of the regiment to
entertain them. The surmise proved cor
rect. and the parade being the only feature
of the evening outside Of the illuminations,
the boys attracted q great deal of atten-
ton.
The regiment will report to Major s. f.
Kelsey tomorrow at 1890 to take part in
the flower parade.
Friday night the celebrated Hale Zouaves
will give an exhibition of their feats in
drilling. in connection with the fire depart
ment display on Grand avenue.

c0cKRAN's SPEECH SPOILED.
Ruin 1t by Repeated In.
tcrruptiOns.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 5.-Ar immense
crowd of people assembled at the Audito-
rum here tonight to listen to the Hon.
W. Bourke Cochran speak upon the money
question. So frequently was he interrupt
ed, however by askers of questions that
the effect of his speech was almost spoiled.
There appeared to be a prearranged plan
on the part of the questioners. and there
were at least 100 of them. On several oc-
casions portions of the crowd took eXcep-
tions to certain assertions made by Mr..
Cochran and became quite boisterous. The
disorder increased as he progressed, so that
many people left the hall.
The officials of the Gold Standard Demo-
cratic Club under whose auspices Mr..
Cochran was brought here. are highly in
dignant over what they term the outrage.

Stin n Mystery.
AS yet no tidings have been received by
the family or friends of J. F. Watkins. the
local freight agent OF the Chicago Great
Western railroad, which will throw any
light on his mysterious disappearance last
Friday morning. The theory advanced by
his wife. who says that she IS sure that
he was demented. and either is wandering
he1plessly about or has committed suicide,
is generally thought to be the plausible one.
AS far as Travelling Auditor Davidson and
Local Cashier Wilgus, of the road, have
been able to ascertain during their care
full examination OF the books in the local
freight office. Walking accounts are per-
fectly straight.
His wife is almost distracted with grief
over his prolonged absence, with no word
as to his condition or whereabouts.
All the principal stations on all Of the
connecting lines. as well as those Of the
Maple Leaf road. have been telegraphed a
description of the missing man. but none
of the agents at those points remember
having seen such a person.

"e-e at the conference and discussed the
matter. There was no decision made, but
tia sense of many of those present was
that any great burden of taxation ought
not to he put on the people at the present
time. Others were of the opinion that the
best way was to secure the parks and
make the improvements. and thus increase
the values of property. There were some
expressions Of disapproval IT the various
amounts awarded, the claim being made
that fictitious values had been agreed upon
that were not warranted by the actual val
ues of the property involved.
