PIOUS JOHN.

Chicago Chronicle
While the spectacle of pious John
Wanamaker posing as a reformer has
a tendency to unsettle the stomach,
yet bis evident intention to make
things interesting for the Quay gang
entities his utterances to cOnsidera-
ton. He can't be worse governor
than the man whom the machine will
nominate. and it is even possible the
Wanamaker bolt may result in the
election of Democrat. At any rate.
the people of Pennsylvania are likely
to learn some wholesome truths con-
corning the men who have debauched
the State for years, and Brother Wan
amakers first instalment of facts is
worth reading. Charges of corrup-
ton, wholesale robbery of the State
treasury and padded pay rolls are not
new to Pennsylvania, but Mr.. Wanna
maker is the first Republican Of prom
inence to kick over the traces and bid
defiance to Matt" and his retainers.
And the best of it is that Wanamaker
has money enough to meet the Quay
corruption fund, so that if the fight is
conducted upon the usual Pennsylva-
mia lines there is more than a posi-
bility that Wanamaker may down
Quay. even though he is unsuccessful

appointment is a splendid testimonial Of
his ability. 1t is also said that one OF Ma

This new road will be one of great inn

NOT ACCEPTABLE
TO WATER COMPANY
The Report of the Special Water
Committee.
THE PEOPLE ARE PLEASED
Aud Want the Report Adopted Attorney Lon
don Says 1t Would Mean Bankruptcy
for His Company-Will Be Acted
Upon Monday Night.
THE PEOPLE ARE PLEASED

The report of the special committee CT
the city council to investigate the Birm ng-
ham Water company, which was printed in
The Age-Herald yesterday, was eagerly
read by the people, all of whom are inter
ested In this vital question. The universal
opinion expressed was that the committee
had done faithful work, and that It's sever
al recommendations in regard to rates,
etc, should at once be favorably acted
upon by the board of aldermen without
further delay.
As was stated by Mayor Evans at tire
meeting of the board on Wednesday night,
the report is not acceptable to the wa er
works company. Alex. T. London. attor-
ney for the company, was seen at his office
yesterday afternoon and declin.d to say
anything regarding the report beyond that
1t would not be accepted by the company.
He said:
1.-THE schedule of rates submitted by the
committee will not be Necepted by the
water works comr any. 1t w-u'd cut off
one-third of its receipts and would mean
bankruptcy for the company. Beyond this
I have nothing further to say" was his
final reply.
The report will come up before the
special meeting of the council on Morday
night and, from present indications will be
adopted.
One of the aldermen who is on record
as a staunch advocate of the interest OF
the people, said yesterday that he would
vote and work for the adoption OF the re-
port and for any measure that would re-
quire the company to comply with the
terms therein stated. The impression
generally prevails that the report will be
adopted and the water company will be
forced to yield as it seems clear to those
who have familiarized themselves with the
case that for year past the company has
been violating it's contract with the city
to the benefit of the company and to the
detriment of the public
There seems to be a growing demand
upon the part of the public to force the
company to do something to give the people
better and purer water This, 1t is argued,
is something that affects the health of the
consumers and it is of more Importance
than the question of rates to be charged.
1t is generally believed that If the COM
pany would establish filters this would
make pure water available all the time,
and the people want to feel more secure in
using it.
