ANoTHER INsPIRATIoN.

1t is amusing to note with what
painstadng care the Board Of Water
Commissioners avoids discussion ol
the water surplus and its application
for general purposes. Last week it in
spired the Every Evening to herald
the statement that # had used the s12,-
coo worth Of pipe purchased many
months ago, and now it has inspired
the Morning News to acQuaint the peo-
pie with the fact that it has ordered
1856 tons for future use. Water con-
sumcrs have no objection to the pur-
chase of any commodity essential to
the successful operation of the water
plant. and if pipe is needed 1t should
be bought and used. What water con-
sumers do object to is having large
quantities Of pipe bought for the pur-
pose OF depicting the water surplus,
and then. after such a needless expen-
diture has been made and charged up
against the years revenue, to pay into
the general fund nearly 100000 Of sur
plus to be used for general purposes to
keep down the taxes of those who have
little or nothing to do with the sup
port of the Water Department Our
contention is. and has been, that the
water rates should be just high enough
to put the Water Department on a
revenue basis A reduction Of from
40 to so per cent would accomplish
this desired result. The present rates
support the department in all of its
needs and supply a surplus of 100000
This is dumped into the general fund
TO which water consumers have already
contributed their fair share, and used
for general purposes. The result is that
the water consumers bear the entire
burden of supporting the water plant
receiving no credit for fire protection
park maintenance free water tc
schools and other public buildings, OF
equal benefit to all. and. after doing
this, pay a surplus Of 100000 to City
Council BY this indirect means the,
pay more than their fair share o
taxes under the general levy and keel
down the tax rate on the owners o.
property, which either does not shar,
in the water consumption at all, or tn,
value Of which is entirely out of pro
portion to the amount Of water con
sumed.
Let the inspired organs of the Por
ter-Hastings surplus producing AM
dissipating system Of fixing water rent
answer this argument. They have ha
months in which to do so, and sigma
failure has been the result. But tn
water consumers now understand tina
they are paying nearly 100000 O
taxes which other persons, better abb,
ought to pay. and the day of reckon
ing is coming for the system, and tn

this State" The act here in question
is declared null and void for no such
reason. but because it is repugnant to
an alleged inherent power" utterly re-
pugnant to all our constitutions, insti-
tutions and principles, while the act
itself Is in full pursuance Of the con-

In all cases affecting life, liberty and
property Is a high right of the people,
and the act pronounced null and void
by our Supreme Court of Appeals was
to protect and enforce that inherent
right" of the people and its constitu-
tional securities.
The court says no to the legislature.
1t refuses to recognize the constitu-
tional duty and power of the legisla-
ture to regulate it, See section 1st,
Article VI. of the Constitution of Vir-
ginia, subjecting the judiciary to the
constitution and the legislature. The
court revolts, and asserts an indepen-
dence and q supremacy that have no
foundation in our government, consti-
tutlons, institutions, or in reason, or
good order or any ncccssity-for if a
jury be not n sufficient asserter of law
in judicial behalf, it is at least n proper
defence of personal and popular right
and liberty against judicial assump-
ton, usurpation and tyranny. See U.
S. Constitution, Amendments v. and
VI. See Constitution and Bill of Rights
of Virginia Article l.. paragraphs 10
and 16
Any self-respecting American citizen
would far prefer to risk hanging before
a jury of his equal fellow freemen, than
to be subject for one second to the
arbitrary power which the Supreme
Court of Appeals asserts for it's mem
bers invested with judicial functions.
1t is n Turkish tyranny, and, as we
know, has been exercised in manner
only becoming an "unspeakable Turk"
"turbaned and bearded" But what the
Court OF Appeals has Just done. or at
tempted, reveals what n despotism, or

fies the State. the legislature. the con-

ports abroad. here comes Porter, once
Superintendent of the U. S. Census, the
great Begun of Statistics and Statis-
ticians. denying all this. show
OF railroad prosperity. and all
the rosy deductions therefrom;-
reciting figures and summing up
receipts and expenditures, as
sets and debts. that quite confounds
the boomers OF prosperity, and proving
that the railroads are really paupers,
entitled to parochial or other public re-
Lief. We have nothing to do with his
motive. or the end he aims at. SUM-
cient that the Grand-Master-ay, Past
Grand-Master of all our Statistics,
knocks the figures of prosperity into pie
and puts the figures to flight.
But the press-boomers of prosperity
still keep up their ceaseless drone, as IL
they had not heard the Great Porter,
nor heard of him. And yet he first
published his paper on the condition
OF our railroads in the N. Y. Sun; and
since then 1t has been reproduced in
circular form. and scattered broadcast
all over the land. Yet the boomers pre-
tend to have never seen it or heard of
it! Will not some friend OF truth send
them copy. so that they may at least
explain how Porter has been so sadly
derailed? 1t is curious case of cross
purposes, at all events, and demands
some elucidation from some enlighten
cd quarter.
Meanwhile. as even the boomers of
prosperity are dsagreeing as to where
it is precisely. the people are waiting
impatiently for that plenty. fairly dis
tributed to all, which is the reasonable
demand of labor. production, transport
tation and necessary exchange upon
the monopolizers of whatever prosper
ity, may be left anywhere. We fear
that prosperity is q sneak, and is dodg-
ing the people.

The great revolution proclaimed at
Chicago in 1896, and which at once rail-
lied to it's banner the grand army of
six and half millions OF men. is now
fully afoot, in motion toward gigan-
tic and resistless movement, whose mo-

will put all opposition under foot in its
rush to a magnificent victory of, for
and by the people. Every active and
prominent antagonist Of this revolution
will perish politically forever in the
foolish effort to stem the rising tide;
while everyone capable Of doing 1t good
service will be rewarded with no mig
gard hand.

be distributed to new men between the

will not rest content as long as the

find that they and their administration

last aroused to their wrongs and dan
gers. Out of the way. all who would
oppose or impede this majestic march!
Fall into ranks. all good citizens, who
love liberty and their country, and who
would share in the glory of rescuing

In performing his share of this work the
young Murillo not only gained consld-
cradle facility OF handling, but prepared
himself to earn his bread when his mas
ter left Seville for Cadiz in 1889. During
the next three years he was without
master, and earned precarious liveli-
hood by selling pictures at the Feria
market held on Saturdays, with no
particular stimulus to ambition. In 1642,
when he was "a years old, the tide was
turned by the return of q. former fellow
student under Castillo, Pedro de Moya,
who had studied with Vandyke In Lon
don and had come back full of enthus-
iasm and prepared to proselytize for his
new master not only by force of exam
pie, but by means of pictures by Van

they brought for his journey. and for
the orphaned sister he was leaving be-
hind him. He then pluckily made q
foot journey to Madrid across the Sier-
ras, arriving penniless and without
friends some time in 1643. He had the
good fortune to have recourse to his
iellow townsman, VelaSQuez, then in
nigh favor at the court, and through
his advice remained in Madrid studying
the many masterpieces of the two gall
leries of the Escurial and Buenretiro
lodging in his patrons house. He spent
over two years mastering the styles Of
such masters as Vandyke. Ribera, Ru-
benS. Rembrandt, the Venetians and
Velasquez himself. and then decided to
give up his ambitious scheme of for
eiGn travel and return to his native
Seville. where he established himself as
an independent artist. At this crisis In
his career he received orders for a
number of pictures from the Francis
can monks of the city, thus beginning
an association that decisively colored
his whole life and art for he became
empha tically the representative painter
of that order. The eleven pictures
which he painted for the cloister of this
monastery caused n great sensation in
Seville, and gave him an Immediate
reputation. They were painted during
1915 and 1876.
