THEY HAVE AGREED.

When the city council decided to eX-
tend and improve the water system
the sum of So, 600 was allowed and ap-
propriated for that purpose The su-
perintendent of waterworks was au-
thorized to proceed at once according
TO the plans and specifications of the
city engineer under whose general su-
peryision the work was to be done. All
materials purchased by the superin-
tendent of waterworks were to be in
spected and approved by the city en-
gineer.
These arrangements were all made in
the early spring in time to insure the
city an increased supply of water be-
fore the days of dust and whitening
lawns drew near; but certain gentle
men saw a chance TO prevent the com
pletion of the work, as ordered by the
council, on technical grounds. so in
junction proceedings were begun which
have had exactly that effect.

ed in time to benefit the public this sea-
son. But the city engineer and the
superintendent of waterworks have at
last agreed upon a plan whereby that
district in the greatest danger of a
drouth Will obtain relief at an early
date.
Had the improvement been carried on
in the same manner and without inter-
ruption when the council instructed
the city engineer and superintendent
of waterworks TO extend the mains it
would have been completed by this
time. As it is the greatest haste will
be required to prevent absolute suf-
fering among the people of the east
side.
The superintendent of waterworks is
supposed to ascertain and know the
needs of the public in respect to city
water, the city engineer is employed for
the purpose of supplying all technical
knowledge and advice, and there should
be no reason why, between them. they
shouldn't be able to extend the system
and give the very best of satisfaction.

FOR AN HONORABLE PEACE.

In an interview with Admiral Dewey,
printed last winter, he was quoted as
saying: II know both the Cubans and
the Filipinos. and latter are better pre-
pared for self-government than are the
former"
Brigadier General King, who is well
identified with the war in the Philip
pines, who took part in almost every
engagement during the first three
months of the campaign against the
natives, says that their ability to gov
ern themselves cannot be fairly ques-
toned. He claims that they are far
more enlightened than either the Gu
bans or the negroes who were granted
the right of suffrage in our civil war.
If this be true, and we are not in a
position TO dispute with these distin-
guished gentlemen, it will not be pos
sible to withhold from the warlike Ia
gals the right of self government, at
least for any considerable length of
time; and the best thing to do, under
the circumstances, it seems, is TO well
come negotiations for early peace, and
to announce a definite line of policy
one which will not be offensive or eX-
acting, but will insure respect for this
government and restore order at the
earliest possible date.

SOMEWHAT MIXED.

On the 9Th of April, 1898, an organi-
cation of former Republicans, the
chairman of which was Joseph Lipp-
Of Utah.
Among other things it said: I'VE
point TO the fact that the national Re-
publican party of the United States
has abandoned the cause of bimetal-
lism, and that local adherence to the
national Republican organization is af-
filiating with gold monometallism and
oppression of the people
In just six months Mr.. Lippman re-
newed his allegiance to the Republic
can party, subscribed to a state plat
form that endorsed and applauded the
policies so ably put forth and advocat-
ed by President Mckinley" and cham
pioned the congressional candidacy of
an avOwed McKinleyite and supporter
of the financial plank adopted at St
LOUIS in 1896.
And now Mr.. Lippman says that the
only hope for silver is through William
Mckinley, whom the local Republican
organ describes as the worst enemy the
free coinage cause ever had.
Our Republican friends seem to have
tangled their financial policy until it is
hard to tell where they started in, and
impossible to tell where they are COM
ing out. Happily for silver, men like
Teller, whose following is greater than
the combined support of all the other
men that left the Republican party
three years ago, are not going to sur
render to the influences which defeated
Bryan at the last election.

TRUE LOVE IN THE TROPICS.

The course OF true love is not always
smooth even in the placid seas of
southern Oceanica, where the amorous
waters hold the islands in a perpetual
embrace and the waves kiss the smiling
shores the whole day through; where
nature unadorned wanders at will and
follows the instinct of natural selec-
ton; where it feeds at will upon the
fruit of its choice. with no man to dis
pute its right to its preference.
King George of the Tonga islands
was married the other day. He wooed
and won the Princess Tavinia His
elders and the majority of his subjects
were determined that he should wed
Princess Ola, member of the royal
household of Nina, another of the
Friendly group.
Mass meetings were held, delegations
waited upon him, petitions on bark

left undone to cause him to change his
mind. However. the king was king. He
was obdurate. He declared that none
but Tavinia should share his joys and
sorrows with him and that he would
never marry if he couldn't have
Tavinia- Ola, poor girl, wasn't in it.
For months his subjects tried to thwart
him, but reluctantly they yielded at

this morning, Tavinia has become Mrs

Happy woman, to have so constant

RUSSIAN DISTRESS.

IN 1891 the newspapers of America
We're filled with heart-rending accounts
of the terrible famine in Russia which
extended over the next year and almost
defopulated some of the colder prov
inces of the great empire of the north.
Hundreds of enterprising journals were
calling for subscriptions and sending
carloads and shiploads of provisions to
the starving peasants.
The present famine is fully as seri-

Yet there is little being said about it
and nothing being done, that has been
made public. Is this because the Rus
sian is less worthy than he was in 1891?
or is il because we have troubles Of
our own at present?
Seven provinces are affected. They
contain 4 population of 11,50O. 900. Half
of these are said to be actually starv-

ROYAL WOMEN
OF EUROPEAN HISTORY.
III. QUEEN ELIZABETH OF
ENGLAND.
Q53S-16O3.)

With a single exception. England has
known greatest prosperity when her
crown has rested upon woman's head.
One of the most striking instances of
this statement is found in the reign of
Elizabeth, the last of the TudorS, whose
early life was passed under the shadow
of the AK and most menacing political
clouds, but whose reign, so. conspicu-
ously brilliant that it is distinguished
as the Elizabethan era," marks the
first real milestone in English progress.
Not entirely to the ability of this sin
gular queen is to be attributed, how
ever, the exceptional prosperity of her
long reign, but rather to that series OF
happy accidents preceding her reign
