about water works for 81 90 per annum

Despite the digniticd denial which
Secretary of State Hay "has the honor
to make to EX-Consul Macrum's charge
that Il secret alliance exists between
the United States and Great Britain,
the Burden of proof rests upon him to
aEnhsst:sntiate his statement by more
satisfactory evidence than his unsup-
ported word, 1t is merely question
of veracity between two gentlemen
both reputable and entitled to hear
ing by evidence, and viewed in the
light of recent events the American
people refuse to believe with the ad-
ministration apologists that Macrum
has lied. The Secretary evinces keen
sense of humor in endeavoring to prove
that no secret alliance is possible un-
der the constitution Of the United
States, which reminds lis of Mark
Twain, in his "Innocent's Abroad"
dropping tear upon the grave of his
lamollted ancestor, Adam. Having
proven ourselves superior to tho Con-
stitution" let us not name it except in
subdued tones and deepest reverence.
