SOUVENIR GATHERERs,

Il
II Is reported that the caterer who
had charge Of the luncheon on the oc-
caslon OF the launching OF the Meteor,
the kalser's famous yacht, Is bankrupt
on account OF the loss he sustained by
the carrying away Of china and silver
ware by the distinguished guests pres
ent who desired souvenirs Of the occa.
sion Some Of the highly respectable
visitors on board the Hoheuzollern are
said 10 have displayed q similar fond
ness for souvenirs.
1T Is hard to understand this sort OF
thing, says a New York contemporary
It Is as hard as to understand why so
many wealthy tourists in Europe sud
denly are seized with attacks OF "klepto-
mania, or that some estimable women,
as proved lately, fall IN love with
toughs and murderers. But are not
these and similar facts only new proofs
Of the painful truth that civilization
and morality have touched but the sur
face OF humanity and that the brute IN
too many instances Is as untamed as
ever under the handsome cloth that
covers IL? What would the result be,
II even this covering should be re-
moyed2
AZ for the souvenir gatherers they
should be given to understand plainly
that they are thieves, unless they OF
tain their mementoes honestly And II
they cannot be convinced of that tru.h
by any other means, the law should un-
dertake to instruct them. a poor man
who would carry away some silver
ware, or pieces OF costly tapestry would
soon be landed in Jail. Why should
wealth be exempt from justice? Laws
wlll never be respected until they are

It has been suggested that one way

through lack OF harmony among the

OF them all under one competent or

parties clearly defined and designated,
This might, perhaps be called water
trust. That would not matter II o
trust Of any Kind IL justilable because
of the benefits TO be derived therefrom,
II would seem that a combination or
trust for the control and regulation Of
the water supply for this city and
county, having IN view the public vel
fare, would be one Of the trusts against
which no reasonable objection could be
offered,
II is clear that some steps should be
taken without delay to perfect the APP
preparation Of additional water, notice
Of which was filed two years ago, for
the benefit Of this city and other de-
pendents upon that source of supply.
Also that measures to secure for all
the canal companies in the county
enough water to meet their present and
coming needs, should be effected And
further that these movements should
be made tremendously and for the
general welfare, A disposition to re-
gard the actions of the several parties
as well as their views unse0shly and
in a proper spirit, In our opinion would
aid greatly in the satisfactory settle
ment OF this important question, which
