Hillsboro, Texas February 5.-There
are but few Southern and Western dem

is an intellectual giant, but he was Gee
tinnal in his rulings. He WAS president
for the interest of the Eastern States.
His executive power and prestige was not
In sympathy with the ideas OF Southern
md Western democracy. Southern aud
Western democrats recognized this fact
when he was nominated as their standard
bearer In 1892, but they yielded = the
pressure OF the Eastern democracy. They
did this with conscientious scruples as
to his advocacy o. the time honored prin-
cipies Of democracy. But he was the

A Gladstone SOUND.

For The Post
AS was walking out one day,
Along GalyestoDs placid bay,
Where gentle tides and pillows play,
/ heard a voice that seemed to say
Deep waterl
stopped to listen whence It came,
asked its import and its aim,
Or whether II was known to fame
Without delay, this answer came
Deep water!
This voice lie heard throughout the land
From town TO town, from strand to strand
II sounds so loud, IL sounds SO grand;
II rivals famous Sousa's band
Deep water!
This problem now is figured out,
To demonstrate beyond doubt
That we can have our water route;
Hark, from the tombs ! hear shout
Deep water!
Then ships Will come from foreign shores
And bring us all the choicest stores,
And land them safely at our doors.
While commerce through our gateway
pours-
Deep water.
And when they leave our shores again
To gladden. hearts across the main
With cotton, corn and smaller grain,
They'll watt us back this sweet refrain
Deep wateri
Wei bring the spindle and the loom
To Houston. where there's lots OF ROOM
To build and thrive where flowers bloom,
And then we'll all 10 on boom
Deep water!

Denth OF G. Il. MOflett.

The Bath County World, published
at Sharpsburg, Kentucky, contains
the announcement of the death OF Mr..
g. n. MolTett, for many years resi-
dent OF Mineral Point. His death oc-
Cured on last Thursday afternoon
The funeral was held on Saturday
morning, Dec. 81, from the residence
OF William Barker, OF Sharpsburg
The sermon was preached by Rev. f..
J. Check, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, of which the deceased was 81
member, and the body was laid to rest
In Crown Hill cemetery.
The World says: Mrs. Molfett
died Dee. 30, 1887, at Milwaukee,
Wis, after which Mr.. MoiTett and his
three children, Mary, Coleman and
Anna Wood, all then very young,
came to make their home with Mrs.
Moifctt's sister, Mrs. William Bar
kcr, who bestowed q mothers care
and love upon the motherless children.
Mr.. Motrott was man OF truth
and honor, moral, upright and kind
hearted. lie was n devoted, loving
husband and father. He had his pc
culiarities, but we think we can truth
fully state that he never knowingly
wrongcd any fellow man. AS tender
hearted as u child, during his con-
ilnement when he expressed the belief
that this illness was his last, and
when he mentioned the fears that as
sailed him, his thoughts were not of
himself, but of his loved ones. His
features, calm In the reposc of death,
bore no traces OF suffering, but were
M II he had lain himself down and
gently fallen asleep.
"Mr. Moifett was Industrious and
frugal and leaves an estate ample for
his two children, consisting mainly Of
real estate near Lincoln, Neb., and In
Minneapolis, MINI.

As to Waste of Water.

To the Editor of The Evening Star
Won't The Star permit very old sub
scrber to utter word in behalf of the
common herd?'
Some gentleman of high altitude has fail
ed during period of few hours to receive
a bountiful supply of water on his third
floor. Straightway the indignation Of the
District authorities is aroused, and a more
vigorous ransacking of households by in
spectors must be inaugurated. These peri
Odical outbreaks about water waste, in each
one of which the itching palm of the meter
schemerS takes occasion to show itself, are
tiresome. The water now being spent is
not wasted at all. 1t could Servo no better
purpose. Stop the water and burst the
pipes, and then ten times as much water
will be expended. Then it may be called
waste" l do not present the question of
resulting Inconvenience and expense; for,
between those who govern and those gov
erned, it appears to be a matter of no mo-
ment, except to the victims. Let the people
alone! Let them use the water where it is
most needed. Let the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest number pre-
vail at least a few days, Thereafter the
water will adjust itself. LAZARUS.
