WILL 1T ALWAYS BE SO?

From the JuIy report of Capt. Gaillard.
the engineer in charge of the Washington
aqueduct, it appears that during the past
month the water at Great Falls was clear
for justthree days, aad at the efriuent gate
of the distributing reservoir for just five
da Us. True, Capt. GaiIlard states that the
turhidity OF the water has been worse than
during any July in nineteen years. and it is
possible. perhaps even probable. that in tie
ensuing nineteen Julys a few more days Of
clear water may be vouchsafed us-per-
chance. as maay as seven or eight. We have
no assurance of this. however-in fact,
Judging the future by the present, one may
be excused for holding fast to the belief
that the turbidity of the water in 1915 will
be just or nearly as bad as it is now. unless
filtering plauti smade part OF the water
works of the District.
Capt. Gaillard does not refer TO this filter
ing plant as remedy for the turbid con-
dition of the water, though no doubt he
had ii in hi mind at the time he wrote his
report, for he is strong advocate of it
and has made Il most convincing and inter
esting report on the subject. He gives his
preference 10 the sand filter as being the
cheapest and best adapted to the situation
here. A plant such as he described would
cost less than n million dollars and wouil
insure perfectly clear water not only for
three or five days, but for every day of the
year. 1t would be such boon that the
people of the District would be more than
willing to pa their share OF the cost.
|. 1t is a. shame that our people should be
compelled TO pa "a good price for the use
of such a dilution of mud as passed
through the faucets in their homes for a
whole month. 1t were bad enough IL this
only occurred at long intervals, but not u

sertion is not extravagant that for at least
six months every year, not consecutive. but

washing. Things will improve q little when

LOOKING AFTER THE BAKERIES.

LOOhlNG AFTER The bAkEHlE rs.
The health authorities Of New Orleans
have been overhauling the bakeries of
that city and made some startling
discoveries Only a part Of them
has been examined, but he saw
enough to Convince him that the peo-
pie of the Crescent City have great vari-
ETY. of dirt and filth mixed up with their
..staff of life" Bakerooms were found
divided from nasty stables by only thin
partition; others, where children and dogs
rolled all over the dough; yet others had
rotten floors, or were located in damp, TN
wholesome cellars, and in several cases
the clothing worn by the bakers while
making bread was disgustingiy filthy.
Apart from such unspeakable nastiness OF
places where an important food article is
prepared there is the danger of disease be-
ing spread by this means, and tile most
radical measures should be taken by the
New Orleans health authorities to bring
about different state of affairs.
There was a time when Washington,
also, W; d Efflicted with bakeries that were
in anything but a sanitary condition But
thanks to the energy Of our health officers
they are things of the past, and our fake
shops are as clean and inviting as any to
be found in the most favored cities of the

To cuRTArL THE VETO POWER.

Mr.. Lyttleton Price, one of Idaho's
delegates to the Republican national
convention. seeing there are plenty
who are busying themselves with the
financial question and that there is
no danger of any declaration in favor
of free silver by the st. Louis conven-
ton. has imposed upon himself the
task of curtailing the veto power of
the president. For this purpose he
will offer TO the convention the follow
ing resolution:
We hold that the veto power given to
the president was not intended to be
used to defeat the authority of con-
gress to make laws on proper subjects
with constitutional limitations. We
condemn such an exercise of this
power as an unwarranted invasion of
the legislative department of the gov
eminent. and we demand return to
the legitimate use of this power as it
was understood and exercised by the
fathers of our institutions.
The resolution is we'll worded, the
sentiments are such that no man need
be ashamed to say of them, Me, too"
An unwarranted use of power should
always be condemned. And it isn't
always necessary to first ascertain
whether use of power is unwarranted
in order to condemn it; in fact, it is
often much better politics to condemn
the use of a power without ascertain
ing first whether it is unwarranted.
The investigation might develop the
disagreeable fact that the resolution
of condemnation had no firm founda-
ton on which to rest.
1t is a matter Of much congratulation
that Mr.. LYttleton Price, speaking for
and in behalf of his party. demands
"a return to the legitimate use of this
tveto) power as it was understood and
exercised by the fathers of our insti-
tutions." 1t is no stretch of magma
ton to say that one of these fathers
here referred to was Alexander Hamdl-
ton. In defining the veto power. he
calls it the presidents power of re-
turning all bills with objections. In
defense Of the propriety of giving this
power to the president, he says:
The propriety Of the thing does not
turn upon the supposition of the su-
perior wisdom or virtue in the execu-
tive, but upon the supposition that the
Legislature will not be infallible. that
the love of power may sometimes be-
tray ii into a disposition to encroach
upon the rights of the other members
of the government; that spirit of fac.
ton may sometimes peTvert its DELHI.

moment may some times bury it into

the danger of those errors which flow
from want of due deliberation.
The congress that has just adjourned
was such legislature as Hamilton
had in mind; Of it it might be said
that it was all that it should not have
been and nothing that it should have
been.
Hamilton thought the power would
not be exercised SO often as it should
be. He says:
There would be greater danger of his
not using his power when necessary
than of his using it too often or too
much. But a man of tolerable firmness
would avail himself Of his constitution
al means of defense, and would listen
to the adTnenitions of duty and respon
sibihty. | speak now with an
eye to magistrate possessing only a
common share of firmness. There are
men who under any circumstances
will have the courage to do their duty
at every hazard.
In the matter of vetoing vicious legis-
lation President Cleveland has had
the courage to do his duty at every
hazard May his successor. whoever
he may be, have the same courage
when he shall need it.

Freely enlarged from Vivtor Hugo.l
Like tiny CLINT of light piercing through
the dusty gloom,
Comes her little laughing face through the
shadows of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as it hears
her patt'ring tread
While her prattling treble tones chase
the thoughts from out my head.
She is queen anad I her slave. one who
loves her and obeys,
For she rules her world ,of home with
imperlous baby ways.
In she dances, calls me 'Dearv' turns the
pages of my books,
Thrones herself upon my knee. takes my
pen with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme turns my
papers upside down,
Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from
fear of any frown.
Crump1es all my verses up, pleased to
hear the cracking sound,
Makes them into balls ana then-flings
them all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away, leaving me alone
again,
With a warmth about my heart, and a
brighter clearer brain.
And although the thoughts return that
her coming drove away,
The remembrance of her laugh fingers

And 1t chances as write, may take a

On the which. God knoweth whyl read

neT- and to funk in an athletic con-
tast is to invite jeers and dsrision. The
Cornell crew got these in superabun-
dance 1t was worse than this; there
was absolute bad feeling, while the
conduct of the English crowds along
the Thames was absolutely brutal.
The experience of Cornell is not likely
to be Yale's. Last year Yale had an
athletic team in England and its
treatment was all that could be de-
sired. It covered itself with glory and
the Englishmen were as loud in their
cheers for the Sons of Eli as could be.
All this will be remembered and will
have a very favorable influence in be-
half of the Yale crew. May it come

BANKER BENEDIcrs OPINION.


Mr.. E. c. Benedict, the banker and
intimate friend of President Cleveland,
expresses the opinion that Democrats
cannot consistently vote for a candi-
date pledged to the free coinage of sill
ver," and that sit would be equally in
consistent for them to vote for a
sound-money Republican pledged to a
protective tariff
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Benedict
did not say for whom Democrats can
consistently vote as it would have re-
lieved their minds of great strain, for
they know that whatever he would say
was proper for them to do would be
proper, else he would not say it,
If the Democratic national convention
declares for free silver and ncminates a,
free silver candidate, why cannot DEM
ocrats consistently vote for such a can
didate? Can they consistently vote for
any other? Presumably Mr.. Benedict
thinks a man cannot be a Democrat
and free silver man ait the same time
He would no doubt measure a man S
morals and politics with his little gold
standard, and with his Procrustean
proclivities he would cut him off if too
long and stretch him out if too short.
When Dean Swift went up to college
he was told that he could not reason
unless he learned the rules of logic
He answered that somehow or other he
managed to reason pretty well without
them. Mr.. Benedict. personal friend
and financial adviser of President
Cleveland, Will find that Democrats
viii vote for a candidate pledged to
the free coinage of silver, whether they
can do so consistently or not

FOR AN INCOME TAX.

Senator Stephen M. White, of Cali
fornia, says he would be heartily in
favor of amending the constitution so
as to give congress the power to i'm
pose a tax upon all incomes. He re-
CARDS the decision of the supreme
court of the United States on the in
come tax bill as a great misfortune
And SO 1t was. 1t was extremely un-
fortunate in thai the court was so
evenly divided and its decision really
depended upon the opinion of Justice
Shiras, who saw fit to change from
one side of the question to the other
within a month.
The decision was unfortunate in
that it deprived the government of
many millions of revenue and cut it
off from a. source that above all others
is able to pay taxes to support the
general government-the moneyed
classes. There could be no juster tax
nor could it fall upon a class better
able to respond.
Some day this question of taxing
the incomes of the rich for the pur-
poses Of helping to defray the expenses
of the general government will be-
come a burning question in our poll
tics. 1t will be the question of the
power of the people against the power
of wealth. 1t may and probably will
take the form of an agitation for a
constitutional amendment as outlined
by Senator White. That would be a
better method than was pursued in the
greenback cases, as it would make a
reversal one way or the other of the
court by itself unnecessary. The
demand that there shall be an income
tax is as just a one as was ever made.
