THE SOUTH AND DEMOCRACY.

A story has been sent out from Wash
ington to the effect that conference
is to be held between the Democratic
leaders of the South with view to
dominating the next Democratic ma
tional convention, but there are no in
telligent people in this part of the
country who will take the story Sc
riously. 1t is too absurd to enable it
to become a political sensation even
for day, and The T1mes-Recorder is
glad to note the fact that prominent
Democratic senator's at Washington
have denounced the scheme as one
which if the leaders of the Democracy
in the Southern States were so foolish
as to adopt, would insure the disas-
trous defeat of their party in the next
national election.
The Democratic party is not now,
and has never been, a sectional party
at all It is the party of the people Of
the North, the East, the West and the
South No sectionel line will ever be
drawn by the Democratic party in this
country for the reason that it would
result in the party's destruction. We
need the support of the Northern Dem
ocrats, just as much as they need our
support, hence a victory for the party
in 1904 will be impossible unless Dem
ocrats all over the country stand to-
gether and fight together
Whilst it is true that more than
three-fourths of the electoral votes
given the Democratic candidates in
1895 and 1900 were cast by the South
there is nothing in this fact to warrant
a movement to convert the Democratic
party into a distinctly Southern insti-
tuition and thus array the rest of the
country against it.
Such a proposition is entirely too
stupid to be entertained for a moment
and we are glad to observe that this is
the view of nearly every Democrat in
Congress.
They fully understand that whilst
the South is the stronghold of the
Democratic party and furnishes the
majority of the votes in the electoral
college it is powerless to elect Pres
ident without the assistance of some of
the Northern States. On the other
hand the national Democracy fully APP
preciates the fact that the great
strength of the party lies in the thir-
teen solid Southern States, and thus il
is that when a presidential victory is
won the South invariably receives its
full share of the fruits of the victory
and her able sons are given positions
of the highest honor and trust under
the government
There is nothing whatever in the
story that comes from Washington, anC
it can be set down as merely ga veal
invention of the enemy"

was made in the city of San Francisco re-
garding the consumption of water. The
water works at that time proposed in
crease in the plant, involving an expenditure
of some millions of dollars, but before en-
tering upon that enlargement they came to
the conclusion that they would try to re-
strain the waste, and they did this by in
augurating the meter system. The result
was that for years they were able to post
pone the extraordinary expenditure which
had been contemplated for an enlargement
OF the plant
Now, in this District an effort has been
made by the District committee on several
occasions to introduce the meter system
not much with view to charging every
person with every drop of water he receives
o. uses, but with the view of checking or
restraining the waste. That measure | am
sorry to say, has been defeated in the House
every time it has been brought up, and Con-
gress has insisted going on with the
present wasteful system. Over two-thirds
of the water that comes into the city of
Washington goes through the sewers with.

gone on expending large amounts of money
every year for increasing our water sup
ply, without thinking of the advantage it
would be to limit the waste and purify the
supply that we already have; for if we
should attempt to purify this immense vol
ume OF water which serves no beneficial use.
we, Of course, simply increase the expense
of the administration in this city. The
fault in this matter is, think, in Congress
IN refusing, whenever the question has been
presented, to authorize the meter system"

MIR. GRosvENoR's REMARKS.
What he Said on the Subject of Per-
sonal Tax,

While Representative Grosvenor of Ohio
agrees with the sentiments expressed in
the House that there is a necessity Of some
law to tax personal property in the District
of Columbia he at the same time believes
that grave mistakes have heretofore been
made by the general government in spend
ing the Districts money. In his few re-
marks on this subject made in the House
yesterday Mr. Grosvenor said:
Il heard the statement Of the chairman
OF the committee on appropriations in re-
gard to the great expenditures that have
been made on behalf of the District, and
| am impressed with the fact that some,
to that criticism. To illustrate: we took
out Of the funds of the District of Columbia
one-half of the cost of the great improve
ment of the water supply and spent that
money under the Jurisdiction of the general
government. And then We find ourselves
again taking the funds of the District for
the building and completion of the same
improvements of the water supply. I do
not believe there was any equity or any
justice in that performance from the be-
ginning to the end. The cost of that work,
the double cost of that work. the much
more than double cost of the work was
caused by a blunder, to use no stronger
term than that, Of the representatives Of
the federal government, and not of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and 1 believe injustice
was done for that reason.
Another criticism I make continued
Gen. Grosvenor, lis as to the manner in
which the funds Of the District of Columbia
have been handled. I do not know whose
fault this Is, but driven out into the outer
country, in many instances beyond the line
almost of the District-certainly beyond the
residential portion of the Distinctive find
enormous expenditures for streets. I was
told this morning that three-quarters of a
million dollars had been expended on the
extension of few streets that have no
beneficial effect to the District of Columbia
or the people Of it whatever. and yet they
are taxed with their share of it. The real
benefit goes to coterie Of real estate
spectators in that section of the District"
On the subject of taxation Mr.. Grosvenor
remarked: Il think if you are going to put
the full assessed tax on the personal prop
erty in this District at the rate of 81 so on
the hundred and then superadd that to the
11s per cent on real estate that you have
got a condition Of taxation that will be de-
structive rather than beneficial.

WASHINGTON WATER SUPPLY.
Something About Its Quality and
QUANTITY,

Mr.. Palmer of Pennsylvania yesterday
hurled some Interrogation points promiscu-
ously around the House Of Representatives
regarding the Washington water supply.
One of them seemed to have struck over
near Representative Newlands' desk for he
at once responded with few most interest
ing comparisons regarding the water here
and the water of other cities. Mr.. Palmer
began:
II observe that somebody has bought thir-
ty-four acres Of land to establish a filtration
plant at the rate of $4,000 acre. And
they propose to spend $2,069,OOO more in
establishing what they call a sand filtration
plant for the water. will agree that the
water needs filtering, because there Is no
the water is so bad SO many days in the
year as it is in the city of Washington.
In quality and consistency it is about like
good consomme soup, and If cleanliness is
akin to goodness we have mighty little god
illness in the city OF washington.
II observe from the testimony Of Col
Miller, the man who seems to have every
thing in charge and who makes all the
of water per capita per day to the people
Of this District. That is over five barrels
to every inhabitant, big and little, white,
black and copper-colored, including picka-
ninnies."
"A large part of 1t is mud" interjected
Mr.. Livingston Of Georgia.
Yes replied Mr.. Palmer, but they do
not charge anything extra for the mud, and
it is good mud, part of the sacred soil of
Virginia. 1t would be curious to know what
becomes of 200 gallons of water day for
every inhabitant in the District of Column
bia. My esteemed colleague (Mr Living
ston) says that he does not get over a barrel
a day in his house. that they do not use
over barrel day, and they have six
people in it; so that he does not get by
twenty-nine barrels what he is actually en-
titled to. What becomes of 200 gallons a
day? How are they going to use 81, 069 600
on filtrating that amount of waterloo OOO,-
600 gallons? Twenty-four filter beds, cost
ing $4,000 apiece. would do the business,
because you can filter 2,J00, 600 gallons Of
water through an acre of ground. and do it
WE'LL"
1t was at this point that Mr.. Newlands
Interrupted with the Information that "in no
city In the United States is there such ire
mendous waste of water as In WASHINGTON
I am somewhat familiar with water works.
for in my early days was counsel of the
Spring Valley water works. q private corpo-
ration that furnished water to the city of

THE NEW FOOD.
Recent Discoveries Along the
Lines of Food Science.

While other sciences have advanced
the past quarter of a century TO ne
markable degree, the science of foods
and their proper preparation has made
Just as rapid strides.
The science of the proper preparation
of foods has made marked impress
sion on the last decade and progressive
physicians everywhere acknowledge
that If ones food and habits are cor
rect there would be but slight use for
medicine.
Now comes forward an investigator
who has made foods and their action
on the human system study, has
discovered new process of combin-
ing cereals and nuts into pre-digested
ready-to-serve food.
1t has long been known that wheat
contained all the elements necessary to
sustain life indefinitely, when proper
iy prepared but it lacked the fat and
tissue building elements of nuts. Most
stomachs. however, are not capable
of digesting nuts, hence instead of
proving benefit they act just the re-
verse.

the Italians head.
When Filippo entered the lodging
house he had, he said, S. and some
small change. Later nothing but 20
