THE CRYING NEED OF THE HOUR,
Is Water, More Water, Better Water and
Less Taxes-GounciI at Work.

F That the city OF Staunton is in neet

agree. The city council has about con
ciuded that The time is ripe for actor

posed to get the water from IL distant
mountain and pipe it to the city by
gravity, thus dispensing with the pump
house and its force.
AT tue adjourned meeting of the
council on Tuesday night the special
committee on amendments to the city
Charter made its report, which was
quite lengthy and which treated largely
on tne water question and the ways and
means to improve present conditions.
FINAL action in the premises, however,
was postponed until last night, which |
was too late for The SPECTATOR to
get a report for this issue.
We wish the council well in it's ef-
1orts to improve the water supply of
the city and trust it will push it with
as little delay as possible, though it
must be admitted that the people are
not particularly fond of increasing any
further debt, and while they want

ten o'clock at night. n you do you
will find Chinatown asleep. First OF
all, YOU must know that the residents
of this little city within the greater
city represent the sporting Cinnamon
of New York. They are the merchants,
many of whom, although living in
dngy Easements, are the great impor-
ters OF opium and s!kp, and are
wealthy enough to occupy mansions
on Fifth avenue; the gamblers who
win and lose fortunes with non
chalance that excites the envy of their
white brother gamesters further up
town; the bunco men and the mem bers
of the murderous secret societies.
These are the people who will brush
against you as you wend your way
through the ailey-lille thoroughfares.
You will find them crowding in groups
of four or five in the middle of the road
way-few use the stone sidewalks
which are only three feet wide, and are
reserved as passageways to the shops.
You will hear them talking in largon
that CRATES upon the ears for the rea-
son of its unharmonious discords of
gutteral sounds. Uncommunicative as
they are to the foreigners, among
themselves they are babbling flock of
magpies. Ten o'clock at night is the
hour when most of them arise. Mid
night is their time of greatest activity.
1t was Just IL o'clock when the Chinese
theater closed. and, as | passed the

Cinnamon, who had been witnessing a
performance which had doubtless been
the continuance of a play requiring g

1t does not seem to occur to the
Bryanites that in denouncing Presi-
dent McKinleys action in the Philip

demning the action of more than one
democratic president. Mr. Mckinley is
simply exercising his constitutional
power as president and performing
his duty in prosecuting war forced
upon the United States and suppressing
a rebellion against its rightful author
ity. The Constitution says: THE pres
ident shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed" and it also says:
All treaties made, or which shall be
made. under the authority of the Unit
ed States shall be the supreme law of
the land" Under these provisions it
is as much the duty of President Nc
kinley to make the treaty with Spain

of the United States in the Philippines

ed States are enforced in any part of

His secretary, who says that he has

himself as Il Britisher from head to

While comm" up from quarantine
Lopez gave out the following signed
statement:
"Mv object in visiting the United

American people what the Filipinos
desire in reference to the future gov

said that my coming to America is in
the interests of certain persons and
parties. We, as filipinos, know no
parties in the United States. We have
only one desire, viz: To seek justice
for our country.
