On Sunday afternoon, beginning at

member of the primary class will be sup
piled with an American flag and when
they march in from their class room in
to the main part OF the church singing
patriotic song and carrying flag in
their hand ii will be beautiful sight to
behold. The church will be decorated
with bunting and flags. The program
had not been completed in full yesterday
afternoon. Miss Eudora Woods will
sing solo of a patriotic nature, while
Mr.. Harry McClung will probably sing
a baritone solo. Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram
Imboden will sing duet There will be
short addresses by the pastor. Rev w.

Notice to Water Consumers.
We again call your attention 10 the
waste OF water going on in orr city. and
which, during the present dry season.

Without doubt we grant more liberties
to our consumers IN the use Of water
than any water company in the country.
In most cities only two hours per day
is permitted for sprinkling. We, how
ever, grant you the privilege OF sprink-
ling at any time. provided you do so in
a proper manner, but the wi'!ful waste
Of water and running the hose without
a nozzle will not be tolerated any l1Dge-.
No rght-minded person will abuse
privilege. especially one 50 necessary
for their health and comfort.
Please see that your fixtures are turn
ed off properly after being used, as the
water will not get cooler by. being al
lowed to run.
After this notice, all parties whom we
find willfully wasting water will be turn
ed off without notice and an extra
charge made before water is turned on
again. Yours, truly,

The Of1cial Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18th, 1897

THE result of the first municipal
election of Greater New York, though
precisely what was generally expected,
is much to be deplored. The complete
control of the government OF a great
CITY by the most corrupt political or
ganization openly operating in any
civilized country on the face of the
globe is most lamentable commentary
on the moral sentiment of the great
community in which such condition
Is permitted to exist. Tammany traded
upon and profted by the discords and
political jealousies which operated to
prevent union of the better elements
which the result shows were sufficient
in point of numbers to control the cleo
ton if their strength could have been
combined. 1t may be true that the
people of the great metropolis have Sc
cured as good government as they
deserve. Boss Croker will undOubted-
ly consider himself licensed to resume
all of the piracies upon the people for
which the Tammany organization is
chiefly distinguished. Whether or not
the result will have much national
significance must depend upon the
position that Tammany takes upon the
next national platform of the "new u
democracy, which is but another name
for Popullsm.

"THosE who, at the dictation of their
own enemies, disregarded their old
friends and attempted to revolutionize
the creed Of their old party will justly
be held responsible for all the results
that have heretofore followed or shall
hereafter follow their departure from
Democratic principles and traditions,
and we who have refused to desert the
old standard and coalesce with the adj
vocates of fiatism, socialism. protection
ism or any other form of government
paternalism can well afford to stand
where we are and wait for deliverance
which is sure to come. "-Ex-Secretary

Nor so much is being heard now as
q short time ago about the retaliation of
foreign countries against the provisions
of our new tariff measure. A great
deal was said about the injury to our
export trade which would result from
the action which foreigners would feel
obliged to take to offset the results of
the new tariff; but official figures now
show that our exports of grain and
manufactured articles continue right
along in spite of the new tariff, and, in
fact, that they are increasing rather
than decreasing under it.
