Admiral COghland- and Governor In

turn the visit Immediately whereupon
Admiral Coghlan and his party re-
turned to the Olympia
The officers we're In no way mo-
lested or annoyed by the crowd, which
followed them closely all the time.
Neither by words nor looks did the
populace display any hostility. The
Colombian battery fired a rear admiral
salute as Admiral Coghlan pulled off
FOR the Olympia.
About o'clock in the afternoon
Governor Insignares, accompanied by
a numerous retinue, boarded the
Olympia for the return visit and re
mained for 15 minutes. When the
governor and his retinue were disem-

we're very glad when she took ber de-
parture.
Comparatively little information as
to the general situation could be gain.
ed at Cartagena There are probably
$500 troops there. and there are re-
ported TO be 5000 at Barranquilla. The
government is doubtless slowly con-
centrating troops at Barranquilla and
moving them toward Titumati In small
numbers. There are probably 1900 Co
lombian soldiers at Titumati and VI
cinity today. and this number is grad
ually being increased.
Minister Beaupre had a good trip
down the Magdalena river. and was
greatly grati6ed that the Olympia had
been sent to CartageDa on bis arrival
The Bogotan authorities extended
every courtesy to the minister, who
left Bogota in special train. and was
carried down the river on a special
steamer

Mr.. LINDSAY PRESIDES AT
WATER BOARD MEETING
Surplus Not Turned Over to
City Because OF President
Ford's Illness

In the absence OF Peter j. Ford at
the regular meeting Of the Water Com
mission yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Lind
say presided. Owing 70 Mr.. Ford's in
ability 20 attend the meeting. the sur
plus OF the department for the present
year was not turned over TO the city.
Another meeting win be held probably
tomorrow, when this will be DONE and
IL is expected that Mayor Charles ID.
Bird will be present to receive the
check.
Mr. Lindsay asked for the status of
the check Of $4,000 drawn In favor OF
the United States Sand Filtration
Company. the payment OF which was
rescinded at the meeting Of the board
last week Registrar Grohe said he had
the check In his possession and read a
communication from City Auditor
Boughman. who stated he had can
celled the check In accord with the act
OF the board In resembling the payment
OF the money
Applications for 70 meters were re-
celved and granted.
Chief Engineer Leisen reported that
a test OF the coal furnished the City
Mills pumping station. had been made.
He said that the test showed in a. hours
that 6l9.6 gallons OF water had been
pumped into the Cool Spring reservoir
for each pound OF coal consumed. The
test when the contract was made
showed 622.5 gallons for a period OF the
same length.
Mr.. Leifen suggested that hereafter
when the bonrd entered into a contract
Tor coal, the test be limited to twelve
hours so that the department could at
any time make a test without causing
Inconvenience TO the employees at the
station. No action was taken.

their own pockets. or recourse win be
had to their bonds
We have repeatedly pointed out that
the extension Of time to those who owe
taxes is really no charity. but only an
abuse It is the personal friend. the
man with pull or the influential cor
poration that secures an extension.
Then some day we find that the time
In which certain taxes can be collected
has expired. and the city has lost thou
sands OF dollars. The result is that
the rate Is raised or kept above what
II should be. II is time for a reform,
and Mayor Bird has suggested its ma
turc
He does not propose that the Water
Department shall use it's revenues to
keep Council going. when that branch
OF the government Is short Of funds
because il doesn't take the proper
means OF relieving itself. And he is
right. Under the law the surplus of
the Water Department must be paid
TO Council to be used for the liquldat-
ing OF water bonds at maturity and
for paying interest on them. The prac-
tice OF turning the surplus over to
Council to be used as a part Of the
general fund IS Illegal and II Is to
the Mayors credit that he proposes to
put a stop to it.

A FEW CRUMBS EoR CHARITY.

The Union Republican Commlttee has
issued O circular calling for funds from
those who have been the "benenciaries
OF Republican success. the objest
being the overthrow OF Democracy"
and the placing Of the people on an
equality Of representation IN the entire
county"
just what the latter phrase means II
would be dificult to determine. but per-
haps il has as plausible ring as any
other. We are told that to make a
thorough canvass OF the county 'will
cost at least q. thousand dollars" and
we presume that somebody is waiting
to sacrifice himself in doing this work
and that incidentally he win handle
that thousand dollars
There are two things that will strike
the student OF local politics; The sum is
exceedingly modest. and the source Is
new Heretofore campaign manipula-
tors have relied upon the largess Of
a single man. disdaining the petty con-
tributions from e-holders. and they
We're not disposed to think in figures
Of less than tens Of thousands.
This last appeal. then. may be re-
gardcd as Significant When there is
a demand for crumbs. the whole loayea
must be exhausted. Were we disposed
to be ungracious we might not accept
the explanation OF the circular but in
quire more particularly into tho nee0
for this appeal. We are told that we
shall soon be entering into a national
campaign. but we doubt whether there
is a consuming desire on the part Of
the committee to advance Mr.. Roose-
velts candidacy. Perhaps the habit
OF using cash for political arguments
has grown so strong that a pittance is
regarded as better than nothing. The
present status must be very depressing
to the members Of the committee. Per-
haps the Committee has heard the ap-
peal:
PITY the sorrows Of poor old man.
Whose trembling limbs have borne
him 20 your door;
Whose days have dwindled to the
shortest span;
Oh! give relief, aud Heaven will bless
Your gtOrei"

The Water Commission annually has
a large surplus. while Council has a
deficit Why is itg Both have the same
source Of revenue-taxation The diff
ference is that the commission has a
system under which it collects every
dollar that is due. and collects it
promptly, while Council has a system
by which taxes may be postponed or
evadod altogether.

Mr.. Morren, Of Pennsylvania mas intro

the rates paid for this service snail not
be more than 10 per cent. in excess Of
the lowest rates that can be secured for
such transportation under competitive

OF this bill would be TO give American

would be based upon the amount OF traffic

for that reason It appears to be a sounA

The annual election Of officers OF the
Levy Court for the ensuing year viii
take place a week from today. There
is some speculation as to possible
changes, but the general opinion is
that the old officers win be reelected.
The court has done excellent work dur
ing the past year and is getting the
county finances in good condition. 1t
seems to us that it could not do better
than TO re-elect Mr.. Chandler as an
evidence Of it's purpose to continue its
good work. Mr.. Knowles. its counsel.

and seems to have amply justified his
selection. He VIII doubtless bo asked

The ordinance passed by Philadel-
phia councils providing for the lay
ing out OF a boulevard from city Hall
TO Fairmount Park has revealed one
Of the plans Of the Pennsylv,sl Rail-
road Company. It contemplates widen
ing it's train shed to Cuthbert street
the small street between Filbert and
Arch--and the new avenue would alb
solutely prevent the plans being car
ried out. While the city contemplates
an Improvement Of general nature
and the extension of the train shed is
the project Of a private corporation.
yet the latter is Of greater public i'm
portance. To accommodate the enor-
nous trafiic TO Broad street Il becomes
necessary to enlarge the trackage area.

The Railway Age prints a timely arr
ticle on the abuses in the manner OF
heating Of railway cars. It points out
that the modern method of heating BY
steam supplied by the engine makes
Il possible for an even temperature to
be maintained. but that employees do
not exercise the necessary care to keep
an even and proper temperature. There
are cold cars. and sweat boxes. and by
way Of pleasing variety at times heat
and cold alternate with perfect regu-
larity. To sit for hours IN a cold car
endangers health, but it is not COM
parable to the danger involved in lcav-
ing an atmosphere that suggests a

a cRIrIc- : eRAvs cANDIoAcY.

In another column will be found
letter from an ardent supporter Of Will
liom Jennings Bryan. sharply and sar-
castically commenting on the move
ment TO send Delaware's delegates to
the next Democratic National Con-
vention instructed for Judge Gray. The
letter is interesting in that it is in
dicative OF the temper OF a few who
supportcd the Kansas city platform
from pure conviction. The number in
Delaware was small the rest simply
giving their support TO tho party, with
out question.
The Evening Journal may regard this
contest from the standpoint Of spec
tator and perhaps act as an umpire,
since its concern over Democratic poll
tics Is negative. In the first place.
we regret that Judge Gray should be
branded as am aristocrat, since this
shove little intimate knowledge of the
man.. Judge Gray is a man Of conced-
ed ability. clean life, Of charm Of man
ner and anabillty His important du-
ties have thrown him among the lead
ers OF public thought and his associates
are men f=distinction. But there is
no more genial and unassuming man 10
be found Ia the State; and II this in
dicates an aristocratio disposition Il is
a pity that more men do not possess
It,
our correspondent says that Judge
Gray was appointed TO positions Of
honor and trust because OF his be-
trayal OF the Democratic party. This
reminds us OF the man who saw a
ghost How do YOU know it was
a ghost?" was asked. Because ! saw
st." was the convincing answer. II such
statements constituted arguments
school boys would all be solons. Is Il
not possible to think that a worthier
motive inspired President Mckinley?
And in so signally honorng a Demo-
crat was he not honoring the Demo-
cratic party?
With cutting sarcasm our cores
pondent suggests that Judge Gray is
the logical candidate OF the Repubh
can party and suggests that the dis
position Of the Democratic leaders in
urging him for the Presidency is mis-
interpreted-that they really want to
see him made the candidate OF the
Republican party Wen. true sarcasm
must have a basis OF truth. aud TINS
has no such basis. AS a man. the
Republicans honor Judge Gray for his
eminent qualities. but he is a Demo-
crat and that prevents them from
supporting him FOR Office. We may say
also that the Democratic leaders who
have advocated his nomination have all
made It plain that they were think
ing only OF seeing his name at the
head OF the Democratic ticket
We are told that Judge Gray Is not
Democrat and for several years we
know that there has been an attempt
TO make free silver and other Populistic
vagaries as the test but It has proved
disastrous. and an the hope that Demo-
craoy holds for the future seems 10 lie
in a return TO the ideas that have al
ways been held by Judge Array As a
matter Of fact the Palmer and Buck
ner ticket was the real Democratic
ticket That which Bryan headed was
Populism under stolen garments.
