AFar Cry from the Pulpit.

AS quoted by Cumberland papers,
Rev. C. Herbert Richardson is poetic
pulpiteer of no small calibre.
He excels in descriptive fuency,
classic allusion and is doubtless an eX-
pert at apotheosis.
1t is to be questioned, however,
whether the Pharlsees of Cumberland
deserve any tenderer treatment at
pastoral hands than Jared those of
Jerusalem under the scOrching criti-
cisms of the Master.
Hence, the sketch of fancy wherein
"a learned jurist sat- and decided that
river water, polluted by what Col.
Pearre elegantly calls "the faint of
civilization" becomes again pure when
one of the "taints" is removed, is very
pretty, but unwarranted by any lesson
in orthodox philosophy.
The gospel of pure water in Cum
berland, therefore, needs to be preach
ed in other and stronger terms. No
indulgence of fancy, no fable, no
Looking Backward will avail to OBJ
scure the present duty of seeking the
blessing only where it is to be found
in the generous bosom of Mother Earth.
If, therefore, the pulpit assumes a
share in the city's proper missionary
quest OF good water it will join its
eloquent forces of persuasion and in
junction with those which grow i'm
mediately and Imperously from the
needs of cleanliness and Godliness-
the ordained ministers of health here
and hereafter.

The water problem, instead of hav-
ing been solved at Councils special
meeting, was more than ever compli-
Gated, as will be seen in the report of
proceedings.
Meanwhile the inevitable drouth is
coming.
What, then, should be done
SO far as the JOURNAL'S limited
vision goes
|, The red shale Strata should be
deeply tapped, and
,, AS it seems no contract binds a
well-bOrer to do what he engages to
do, the town should have the work
done on Its own account under proper
supervision.
All this after it is demonstrated by
comparative analysis that the cis-Sav
age water under Mayor Nickel's plan
Of a plurality of wells is not good ?
Some conclusion should be reached,
gentlemen, and reached soon.
Meanwhile, positively add no more
consumers, especially Italians.

Bids recently invited by the State Board of
Education have exceeded the appropriation
of $50 $50 for the work, and the architect has
been instructed to provide drawings on a
smaller scale The bids average S24 900, but
the cost cannot exceed the appropriation.
The result will be delayed completion of the
structure and less imposing one when COM
peted Mr. Mason Is now at work altering
his plans, and so soon as plans and speciti-
