Waco water supply.

Waco, Texas, October 5.-The 10
inch main of the Bell Water company.
laid across the bed of the Brazos
river, connecting the west and east
side systems, was washed away by
the recent rise and the company is
deprived of nearly a half million gal
Ions of water by reason of having no
connection with the east side wells.
Considerable Inconvenience results
from the mishap. The demand for
water has increased during the last
few weeks and the company finds 1t
impossible to keep up pressure all
the time, consequently 1t has resorted
to the extreme remedy OF cutting off
the water from the residence part Of
the system from 8 to IL and from 2
TO in order to accumulate n supply
in the reservoirs. This creates dis
satisfaction and much complaint The
water company points out the cause
Of the trouble and announces that he
main cannot be replaced until the
river runs down to its normal depth

The answer to Germany covered the
subject of Furnishing Chinese Offend

These instructions look toward the Sc

He " Doth Protest Too Much.


President Mckinley made the formal
opening speech of his new Presidential
campaign Saturday night week, in New
York city. The annual banquet of the
=" Ohio Society" was the occasion. IL had
been planned with care by Mark Hanna
and his clique. Every utterance was
studied.
In this set speech the President made
very general and very rhetorical denial of
any tendency toward imperialism in his
political policy. Bat be could not make
it logical, for the solid logic of events
stood dead against him.
In fact, the imperialism of the Mckinley
policy is becoming every day more pro-
nounced. He has iust had notice given
that he is going to send Secretary Root to
Cuba for the purpose Of bringing to head
the annexation scheme of the Trust
imperialists which the Presidents coterie
has been secretly working up.
This President has procured big army.
A-c HoAto ~ bA&SCis he HAS WUIkt0 Ills
vastly increased patronage ia appointments
and in contrast for all they were worth
to perpetuate his hold on power.
he wants more colonies, more scope for
imperial mastery. He is ready to declare
void the platform declaration on which he
was elected, that Cuba shall be free, just as
be surrendered to the Sugar and Tobacco
Trusts on the point of taxing Porto Rico,
and as be has yielded to the Money Trust,
step By step, till he has led into bondage to
them every honest interest and enterprise
of the whole American people.
An imperial policy in the Philippines,
imperial colonies at Guam, Hawaii and in
the West Iudies,and an imperial snObocracy
at Washington, are the plain and constant
end and aim of the men now running our
ship of State. And it is 10 the very height
Of their activity that their .chief now
steps before the people whose votes be
wants and tells them that there is no such
issue as Imperialism

When the President recommended free trade
" 18th Puerto Rico, that was William Mckinley
speaking from his heart. When be urged Con
gressmen TO eat their utterances and vote for
duty on the industries of the island going and
coming. that was Mark Hanna, the great Ohio
suspect.
Thus does General Lew Wallace give
utterance to the American modification of
the monarchical maxim " The King can
do no wrong" 1t is all very we'll to make
Hanna scape-goat for his chief, but only
those should help in the process who can
cite an instance when Mr. Mckinley was
not ready to side with any force that could
promise the most votes or the most money
wherewith to buy the votes. He opened
his Congressional career on that plan; be
framed the Mckinley tariff on these lines !;
he ran the government of Ohio in that
way be appointed Aiger for that reason !;
he SiissllaAsed him fol the same; he backs
Hanna's ship subsidy for the same he is
pulling wires for the Nicaragua canal for
the same; he insisted on fair treatment for
Puerto Rico, because he thought it would
be popular. and he ate his own words
because he thought it would be profitable.
If we are to throw all his weaknesses on
Hanna, it will be too much Of load for
Hanna to carry, even with the aid of his
subsidized steamships.
