Tourh Old English Statesmen.

In Macaulays day English statesmen
were of a harder and more robust
type than the present race Of poll
ticians. They seem to have had cast
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
tons to match. They dined off huge
beefstcak and a bottle Of port, while
their gr4ndsons are content with outlet
and lemon squash. And yet they liv'
ed to good old age. We hear of Lord
Brougham at the age of 20 drinking
two bottles of port at dinner, going to
bed upon half bottle of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal" and Lord Lyndhurst at
the age of 80 "snppng off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr. Kinnear, an old parliamentary
hand. tells us that he remembers see
ing MIR. Disraeli drinking, as the pre-
lude to big speech. a pint Of port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in green coat, a buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers"
This seems modest potation under
the circumstances, but Mr.. Kinnear
adds that Disraeli came back and had
another pint later on.-Blackwood's.

Mr.. Eugene Sullivan-My Dear Sir:
In swer to your questi N whether
am 10 favor Of spring water or city
water, desire to say that am now,
and always have been Ia favor of the
city's owning Its own water plant,
and am not either directly or indi.
rectly Interested In spring water. !
do not understand that the question
Of spring water as against city water
is an issue In this campaign.
The city now owns water system
that 1t has acquired at a large ex-
pense, and everything should be done
that can be done to make the supply
abundant, OF good qaality, and at the
least expense, and In a manner to pre-
serve the investment the city has al
ready made.
The interests Of the manufacturers
should receive special attel,ion, as
the stone industry is the foundation
Of our prosperity. The polishing
mills and manufacturers should be
sup, lied with an abundance Of water at
the lowest rates consistent with main
tanning the city system.
1t seems to me that the prosperity
OF our city demands that conflicting
interests should be harmonized at
once. fractional strife and chickering's
should cease and the next city coun-
Gil, whoever compoSes it, should get
down to business ana work together
for the best interest OF the taxpayers
by whom they are employed. Very
espectfully. W. D. SMITH.

One of the reasons, and probably the

The Echo At Work.

When we had climbed to the top OF
the mountain, we observed an old man

glasses in his hands. Every now and

BARRE, W., MARCH ?, 1901

Ihe'Water question in Barre still re.
mains puzzling problem notwth.
standing the vast quantities of wis
dom that have been aired by various
local luminaries and politicians. We
believe that the city should operate
Its water system, now that it is pos
Sessed OF such property, in the same
manner as though it were an indivi-
dual owning the same. We believe
that every taxpayer except those who
live IN the extreme outskirts of the
city, where they can derive 70 benefit
from it, should be assessed for the
same on a system similar to that of
the school tax and then if any indivi-
dual desires to have any other system
or water in his house he must pay for
it, as the man who sends his children
to private school has to pay for
that luxury also in addition to his
school tax. This seems to be far
more just and manly than to try by
any questionable means to boycott
the business Of any citizen or body of
citizens who may be in competition.
The city water system is a public in
stltution and every taxpayer owns
share in it, as it were. The purchase
may have been unwise but that has
nothing whatever to do with the case
now. We own it and must operat, 1t
to the best advantage. No public
official could take a different stand
than this without making himself
the target of very severe criticism,
Whichever way the election goes next
Tuesday we are confident that this
matter will never be said to have
been an issue, for any treachery which
appears tozbe damaging to the va
lue of public property would be too
plainly evident to permit of a public
official taking any such risk.
