agreed to 8 resolution for the appoint
ment by the Mayor of two citizens at g

NOR that the Alexandra Water Com
pany is pumping up water from the
marshes of Hunting creek to supply
the citizens of Alexandria. The water
company is doing nothing OF the

ter from exactly the same source IRON
which the city has been supplied with
exceptionally pure water for the past
fifty years. OF course it is not strange
that every paper published in Wash

ferred to, the wording Of which is cal
oulated to make people believe tna'
Alexandria is being furnished with
water unfit for use and that its citizens
sre content to drink swamp water.
Naturally people looking for a nome 90

the Washington papers may be relied
upon to do nothing to correct the err
roneous impression made upon those
who read the resolution-indeed 1t
seems to be toe policy of these papers
to do everything 10 their power to In
lure and bsIittle Alexandria. II the
author of the resolution had taken The
trouble to have asked some one who
knew something about the matter,or to
have visited the water works himself
it goes without saying that it would
not have been introduced.

G. +. q Y. Y. RAILRoAD.-We learn
or the most reliable authority, says the
Fayetteville Observer, that the certio-
rari heretofore granted by the Supreme
Court OF the United States, ordering the
appeal in the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railroad case to the Supreme
Court has been quashed by consent of
the New York boudholders. This
leaves the judgment of Judge ST.
monton, which was affirmed by the
Circuit Court of Appeals, as the order
of the court. This is, that the road
shall be sold as whole, and the pro-
ceeds divided as in his decree directed.
Il is very evident from this that the
road will be sold within q very short
time and the party who makes the
highest bid will get the property.
Commissioner Martin, VINO was ap.
pointed by the U. S. Circuit Court to
take testimony in the case of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Railroad, has, under
authority of the court, designated De.
cember 29 as the date Of the sale of the
road. The sale will take place at Fay
etteville, n. G. The road will be sold
10 its entirety, and rot in divisions, as
had been originally desired by parties
acting in harmony with the Southern
Railway, which was represented as
anxious to acquire only one portion of
the road. The two bidders for the
property will probably be the Bali
more and New York committees. The
former, of which Mr.. W. Il. Blacktord,
ia chairman, will act in the interest of
the Seaboard Air Line, which offers to
guarantee the bonds at four per cent.
in addition to other considerations.
The New York committee, it is stated,
will act in harmony with the Southern
Railway. General John Gill is at pres
ent receiver of the property.

THE POPULARITY of the late so-called
war with Spain is increasing, as this
government has become responsible for
the claims against Cuba held by Ameri-
cans. Instead of war for 'humanity's"
sake, as was once asserted, the suffer
ing of the people in whose alleged be-
half it was undertaken, and the profit
that has resulted to those engaged in
it, it really seems as if pelf were the
chief and only incentive and promoter
of that war.
