The Water Works Question.

AS a responsive chord to an
editorial in this paper on the 9Th
inst. The citizens Of our enter
prising little city are just now,
agitating the question of water
works. Our community has out
lived the period when it can fight
a dangerous fire by the means Of
a bucket brigade aud the ques ton
right now is, owe must have a
system of waterworks. " This
question like all others, is being
thoroughly discussed by our
citizens, and there is quite diff
erence of opinion as to what is
the policy to adopt.
Speaking from a legal stand
point, if our corporation has the
right to do so, the RECORD thinks
that the best plan to adopt is to
strike for municipal ownership.
Why give IL franchise to an in
dlVldual or set OF individuals and
have them reap the profits from
it, when we can grant ourselves
the same privilege? If the pro.
fits go to people who have a fran
chiSe for a certain number of
years we ask, isn't it a better
policy for our people to own their
own system Of waterworl1s, and
be independent in the matter.
Now is the time to make a
move, and let us have a thorough
understanding in the matter so
as our taxpayers will not be kept
in ignorance.

Expelled From the Council.

New Orleans, Nov. 9.-Council-
man Patrick j. Mcmahon was
expelled from the New Orleans
city council last night by vote
of twelve to four. The grounds
upon which Mcmahon was OK
pelled!was a charge he had made
that some of the members of the
council had been guilty of accep-
ting brides. He was offered the
alternative of apologizing or be-
ing expelled and he refused to
retract or to apologize. McMah-
on applied to Judge st. Paul for
an injunction to restrain the
council from expelling him, but
the Judge today declined to issue
the writ and at its meeting to-
night the council proceeded tc
expel him with but very little
ceremony.

We notice IN the jennings
Times of November 8 the follow
ing pointed paragraph:
WHY NOT A CAMPBELLITE:
Some days ago at the Gospel
tent Elder Haddock told why he
was a Campbelllte. Rev. Smith,
of the Baptist church, on Sun
day morning will tell why he is
not aCampbellite. 1t is his inten-
ton to speak plainly. He does
not intend to ridicule the Christ
ian church, but after what has
been preached at the tent for
several weeks he feels it only
right that some reply should be
made.
In the evening Mr.. Smith will
answer some questions asked
him in a letter he has received
from Christian minister. He
intends to base his reply on
scripture.
From the above it will be seen
that our Brptist divine, Brother
Smith, feels honor bound to re-
ply to one Elder Haddock. 1t
may be said to the credit of Ell
der Haddock that he never
preached a sermon here, or any
other place, giving his reason for
being "Campbleite, but
preached a sermon on the "sin of
being a Campbellite. y He also
| preached sermon, giving his
reasons for being a "Christian
only" and to this Brother Smith
! aims toreply Sunday at II o'clock,
! hence Elder Haddock, with his
! congregation, kindly invites
Brother Smith to bring his audi
ence and occupy the Gospel tent
at that time, as all parties are
anxious to hear all homes treason
ling on such important subjects
! Elder Haddock urges his breth
sren to meet promptly at II
O'Clock Lords day in order tt
/ vacate the pulpit for Brother
1 Smith by II o'clock, or if Broth
\ er Smith will not do that, the
congregation from tent will as
semble at the Baptist church ant
prayerfully listen, after which i
may be necessary for Elder Had
dock to preach Sunday evening
on why he is "neither a Camp
I bellite or a Baptist Brothe
