THE BOND QUESTION.

The contention of the anti-b0nd peo-
 pie, that bonding the city for the pro- posed sewerage and water systems would result in increased taxation, has no foundation in fact. The city now pays the water company over six thousand dollars a year for water nearly twenty-five per cent of the Icity's tax receipts. With municipal own
 ership thousands of dollars would be saved to the city each year. This is
 shown by the experience of cities that gcontrol their own water works. The
 city would not only get more water
 and better protection against fire, but
 it would effect a handsome saving in
 the cost. The area of water corsump-
 ton would be greatly enlarged, and
 the invest tment would prove tC be a
 good one in every respect The people
 who are talking about increased taxa
 tion have considered only one side of
 the question. The action of the cOun-
 cil yesterday in designating a com mittee of prominent citizens to super
 visa the selling Of the bonds, in case bonds are voted for, and to cooperate with the council in installing the pro- posed system is sufficient answer to the cry of robbery" raised by the op- ponents of the bonds. With such men as B. Heyman, L. H. Goodrich, Leo Goldman. Dr. J. NJ Ford, Joseph IT, vine, W IT. Smith, J. w. Doris, Lin coin Fowler, J. Thalh sinner, VI. B. Lount, H. Goodman, Dr. Purma1, A. Redewill, G. H. N. Luhrs and E. Gang to see that the contract was thoroughly performed the public would have no fear Of being 'jobbed." If the taxpay- CTS of this town will examine this ques- ton thoroughly they will see in it op- portunities for improving Phoenix which ought not to be disregarded. So far not particle of evidence has been submitted to con.rovert the statement that the bond proposition is thoroughly and llculated to give Phoenix wOnderf Il impetus.

DO AWAY WITH THE NECESSITY

New Workers spent $25, ,0OO, ,0O9 in char lity during 1898. Laying aside the question of why such a trem endOus
 outlay yves necessary in the midst of such boasted prosperity, we come to the question, When will some great city boast that it did not find it neces- lsary to spend dollar for charity, it's people being employed at living wages :?
 While we are congratulating ourselves that charity is provided in abundance
 let US not forget that it is our duty to strive for that condition when charity
 will not be needed.-Omaha World

Auditorium tonight to discuss the prop
osition. Colonel Sanders, Mayor Edwards,
Massena Billiard, F. e. Stranahan, A ID.
Hotter, H. A. Farris and others spoke.
The meeting was lively and several sharp
passages al arms took place between the
mayor, who champions the proposition.
and some of the speakers who opposed 1t.
While the mayor appeared to be in a mi
nority on the platform, he had plenty of
supporters in the audience who cheered
him to the echo. While the idea seems
doomed to defeat at the polls. it is going
to stir up the Capitol City for the next

Twelve Days in an Open Boat In the In
dian Ocean.
Victoria. Dec. 1-Mail advices by the
steamer Warimoo state that the steam
er Darius arrived at Adelaide Nov. 3, at
ter an exciting trip through the breaking
of her tail shaft while on her way from
Melbourne to Ceylon. The second officer,
Reginald Lyon Inslone. two passengers
and five Lascars. who volunteered to OBJ
tain assistance for the vessel after her
propeller had gone, sailed in one of tho
ships boats Aug. 10 for Padang, port
on the Sumatra coast, just $50 miles from
her position at that time. For IL days
and IS nights the little company battled
with adverse gales, accompanied with al
most incessant squalls of rain, inter
spersed with several calm and intensely
hot days.
They finally sighted a steamer bound
west on Aug. 50. She passed very close to
the boat, but, although the ensign was
flown upside down and other distress sig
nails were made, absolutely no notice was
taken. The men were still $50 miles from
Padang and were forced to continue their
battle with the elements until Sept. /,
when they attracted the attention of the
Dutch steamer Reael. The rescuing
steamer was SO small that the Voyagers
were forced to abandon their gallant little
craft which had carried them within 10
miles of Padang. The party was taken to
Calcutta via Batavia and Singapore, ar
irving at Calcutta the same day as the
Darius was lowed III.
