WANTS NO WATER METER.
The Waugh NJ. Il. Church Organ
Lacks Necessary Pressure.

The Commissioners yesterday received
communication from r. s. Downs, Secre-
tary of the official board of the Waugh Nj.
E. Church, stating objections to the in
stallation OF a water meter to measure the
amount of water used in driving their or
gan.
Some time ago" writes Mr.. Downs, "a
communication was received from the
Water department, stating that each
church in the city would be required TO
put in water meter, and that on failure
to do this they would be charged with the
amount of water used.
Our organ is a small one, and is used
very seldom besides the morning and even
ing services on Sunday. We, therefore,
feel assured that we do not use one-half of
the supply allowed by law-5O0, 900 gallons
The builder Of our organ. John, Brown, of
Wilmington, Del, informs us that it re-
quires a pressure of eighteen to twenty
pounds. According to a statement we re-
ceived from w. A. Mcfarland Superin-
tendent Of the Water Department, a test
made at the fire hydrant, at the corner of
Third and A Streets northeast showed
pressure of fifteen pounds to the square
inch, or three pounds less than that re-
quired to give our organ its necessary
pressure. Very frequently. on account of
the lack of pressure. we have been Obliged
to shut down the organ IN the midst OF the
services, more especially on Sunday morn
ing.
Unless 1t is absolutely necessary we
hardly think 1t is equitable TO require us TO
make an outlay of about $500, which is the
price we would have to pay for a water
meter, when we are placed at a disad-
vantage by a decrease of pressure which
would undoubtedly render our organ use
less Had the necessary OrpscIIrn In
run the organ with the meter we would
undoubtedly do our best toward installing
one, but we submit that under the circum-
stances we should not be compelled tc do
So"
The letter OF Mr.. Downs was yesterday
referred by the Commissioners 10 the Water
Department for consideration and report.

NEGRO VOTERS RESTLESS
Thousands Will Desert the Repub-
licans in November.
Why They Are Dissatisfied With
Mckinley - Representative Jet
Thinks Democrats VIII Carry
Illinois Effect of the Personal
Popularity of Mr.. Stevenson.

Tomorrow evening Chairman Richard
ton. Of the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee. will leave for indianapolis to at
lend the ceremonies OF notifying Mr.. Bry-
an and Mr.. Stevenson of their nomination
for President and Vice President, which
takes place on Wednesday.
Among the callers at Democratic head
quarters yesterday was Oliver c. Black,
President OF the National Colored Demo-
cratic Club. Mr.. Black, who is an iniuen-
ual man among his people, says there is
great dissatisfaction with the Administra-
ton in the ranks of the colored voters, be-
cause It has not kept faith with them.
Commenting on the attitude of the colored
people Mr. Black said: Thousands of col
pred men will vote in November against
Mr.. Mckinley, because he has failed to
raise his voice in condemnation OF the
iynching of coIo-ed men in the South. The
colored voter believes and he knows the
President has not done all he could have
done for him. Another point l desire to
call attention TO:
There are 1000. 900 blacks in the United
States and $4,000 mulattoes, and seven
tenths OF all the places given by the Ad-
minlstration to the colored people were
bestowed on the mulattoes, thus showing a
most marked discrimination.
THE President thought he could make
votes for his party in the South by giving
frst-class commissions in the volunteer
army during the war with Spain
to such distinguished Southerners
as Lee of Virginia, Butler Of
South Carolina, Wheeler Of Alabama,
anu others. but the President will not get
a vote because OF these appointments
The shabby treatment Of the colored SOL
dier who fought so valorously at San Juan
and the refusal to recognize and reward
the colored non-cOmmissioned officers will
not be forgotten by the colored voter in
November. In Ohio. Indiana, and New
York the colored vote is an important fac
tor IN deciding the election In those States,
and Judging from my correspondence, l
am satisfied that a majority OF that vote
will be cast against Mr.. Mckinley"
Mr.. Black says his club is busily en-
gagged in sending out documents and sup
plying information to the colored voters,
especially in the doubtful States, where
their vote may decide the election.
Representative Jett OF Illinois writes
that the campaign in that State is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and that Demo-
cratic prospects are bright The person.
Rlity of Mr.. Stevenson, he says, is having
4 marked effect on the canvass. He gives
i as his opinion that the State viii go
Democratic.
The leading article in the book VIII be
IN Imperialism and the next important
article will be review of the financial
legislation Of the first session Of the Fifty
llxth Congress.
