Reasona tor Change Of sy.,em.

The question Of the desirnbility OF
some other wntcr supply has receiv-
ed more or less consideration and dis.
cussion In the city for many years
II IL generally admitted that the pres.
water which may be obtained. and
thin the last year or two the ques.
ton has received more prominence
because of the Increased quantity OF
mineral water carried In suspension
In the watsr by reason OF the increas.
ed number of mills along the head of
the Animas river and its tributaries
above ms II seems to us probable
that during this season and within the
next two or three years the amount
of this matter thrown into and to be
carried by the stream Win be greatly
Increased by the enlargement OF ex-
listing mills and the erection of now
mills A few years ago the Animns
river In ordinary stages was clear at
this point, but now AT any season when
the mills ARE In operation. and with.
out regard to whether the stream has
become muddy by high waters. the
presence OF this mineral matter In
suspension is very readily detected.
and this matter has been deposited
along the bed OF the river. from sill,
vorton at least, to a point below the
city Of Durango, II these tailings
50 carried by the stream contain any
thing injurious which would render
the water unhcalthful. 1t is reasonable
to assume that the condition will
rapidly grow worse, not only because
OF the increased amount carried In
suspension In the water. but also be.
cause of Increased amount carried In
solution, the bed OF the stream for so
long distance being covered with
the Objectionable mineral.
The city council has. as we under
stand, directed test to be made OF
the water which test Is to determine
both the nature and the quantity OF
all mineral or organic matter car
ried therein In solution or suspen.
sion. II was stated in council meet.

Thc ordinance provides that the In

5iS per cent per nnnum. bat leaves
the council at liberty to Issue the
honda at any lower rate at which
they may be able 10 float them.

The bonds are to be payable at this
option OF the city In ten years after
issue. and to become due and pay.

was made to dispute the facts. and
the entire article contains about as
much truth as the portion In reference
TO county printing, which Is base
fabrication, The Herald being the
one to refuse to enter a combination
on any kind of city or county print
ing during the past ten months, and
VIII continue to refuse any such COM
bination, and il is this fact which
hurts the ''grafters, who were will
ing to have the commissioners go back
on their oath of office and betray the
taxpayers to enable them to continue
the graft. But it will not work. The
law win be obeyed, and the Democrat
is now publishing county advertise
ments for nothing. The true facts
about the bond business VIII be given
later, the other figures concerning ex-
travagance and Increased cxpcndi
lures having been published last fall.
Whitewashing will not go at this time

WASHINGTON, March 12.-It is de-
MED today in official circles that ex-
Senator Wolcott of Colorado is to be
made postmaster general.
Charles Emery Smith, who holds
the office, is the least satisfactory of
the cabinet family, and Mr.. Wolcott
on account of his twelve years direc-
tion of postal affairs in the senate
is the man the president would choose,
but the Colorado senator is not anx-
ious for the position and Mr. Smith is
eager to retain the place.
Mr.. Mckinley has great admiration
for Wolcott He feels that he acted
a great part in the Philadelphia con-
vention which nominated the pres
ent president, and anything that Mr..
Wolcott wants and Mr.. Mckinley can
give is really at the disposal of the
Coloradoan, who, it is said here, is not
at all anxious to enter the cabinet.
NEW YORK, March 12.-The Times
today prints the reply of Admiral
Sampson to Secretary Long in regard
to the publication in refernec to the
letter sent to him by Gunner Morgan.
Sampson says he did not give Nor
gan's letter or his endorsement to
any person. newspaper or official. He
intimates that some official in his of.
flee may have stolen the letter and
endorsement, but he does not see
how this could have been done He
says all people having access to the
letter book have been interviewed
and deny emphatically that they were
responsible in any way for it's publ
cation or endorsement.
Sampson concludes: 81 have to add
that | am in no way responsible for
its publication"

THE WATER QUESTION.

The report OF the Board OF Trade
committee on the water question as
submitted at last nights meeting is
given In full In this issue It should
be carefully studied by the taxpayers
OF the city. In this connection The
Herald is surprised at the lack of
knowledge. or rather, lack OF desire
TO obtain knowledge, on this question.
Many absolutely refuse to seek infor-
to know all about IT. or rather. they
are going to vote haphazard. Last
night the subject was fully discussed
and II complete review could be
given It would be interesting. The
report, however. speaks for itself,
IT is the findings Of men who have
given the matter Investigation, aud Is
therefore entitled TO fun credeuce as
against the statements of those who
have not done so.
As before stated, The Herald Is
not Interested one way or the other
In this water question aside from de-
sire to secure satisfactory supply.
For years the question has been agi-
tatcd, and 1t has got to n point where
action IL imperative. II the bonds
are defeated ut the approaching elec-
| ton The Herald will state most post
| lively that the day is only deferred
when the same proposition viii car

city and taxpayers. II the bonds are
defeated the council Will be in duty

because II viii he a direct outlay. and

being the case, how can anyone de

Mi Essa on GerIs.

From the London Advertiser.
little Willie is blessed with seven
sisters of more or less mature age.
He was asked at school to write Il
short essay on Girls" and this is
what he wrote:
'Gurls are feminine gender. and
they wear frocks. They only have
one pocket, which they can't find.
They're awfully fond of grown-up fel-
leis, and can tell when their chins is
rough In the dark. Some gurls is
funny. They will 'oller and jump
on a chair when they see mouse !:
but they is awfully strong when they
gives little feller like me hiding.
Gurls sometimes has nice white teeth.
and then they allus giggles, just to
show em. Gurls likes fishin but not
putting worms on hooks"

Overcrowded London.

AT the present moment, writes Sir
Walter Besant, in the Century, those
parts of East London inhabited by
workingmen Of all kinds. from the re-
spectacle artisan in steady employ
ment down to the casual hand and the
children of the street, are suffering
from the dearth of houses. There are
not enough houses for the people;
there are not enough single rooms for
the families which would gladly occu-
py them If they could. The rents of
the lowest tenements are going up
higher and higher. The working
people compete with one another fer
rooms. The landlord has only to put
up his house. or his rooms in his
house, to the highest bidder. A
room that used to be let for four shil-
lings week can now command six,
while the fine or the sum paid on talk
shillings, now runs up to pound or
even two. The houseless used to be
considered the very poorest. Among
them now are families the heads Of
which are in steady work. They are
houseless because there are no houses
for them. The vast increase in pop
ulation has good deal to do with
this. For instance, the outlying sub
urbs of East Ham, twenty years ago
mere hamlet, with a few houses and
an old church in the fields. now num-
bers 10000 people, all of the working
class; while its neighbor, West Ham,
which twenty years ago consisted of
two or three scattered hamlets is
now great town of 100000 people,
all of the working class.
