Mr.. BRYAN IN ENGLAND.

nor a Rigoletto; one who had some
thing serious and important to say and
knew how to say it well. Surely the
real representatives of English char
acter and culture must BY this time be-
thoroughly weary of the cheap
rarceurs. the fawning toadies, and the
maudlin sentimentalists with whom we
have afflicted them so long and so re-
lcntlessly. 1t could not, in their esti
mate, have been less than a relief to
meet an American who offered them
neither apologies for his own nation

WATER BOND ELECTION
Proposition Carried by Vote Of 1856
to $40.

a large proportion of the representa-
tive voters of Phoenix decided by their
ballots yesterday that the city should
proceed with the construction of a plu-
nicipal waterworks system, The bonds
carried by the required legal two thirds
and with twenty-one votes to spare.
There was q large vote polled. much
larger in fact than is usual on questions
of that kind and fully as large a FER
centage of the registered voters eXer-
cised the franchise as at a closely con-
tested election of city officers. The
registration was little over 1900 and
1917 votes were cast and counted, there
Being but one or two votes thrown out
in the count. The votes in favor of the
bonding proposition numbered 1856. thu
vote against it totalling 1885, The num-
Der being necessary to a victory fos
the bonds being ia and two-third.. o.
two-tnirds of the total vote. there was
n margin of 81 and one-t third in thei.'
favor.
A notable comment on the result is
that the sentiment of the city seemed t.
exist in all wards in very near the same
ratio, while in most elections enc or
more wards are apt to be strong on
one side of a question while others are
equally strong in opposition. In this
instance it was a little more than two
to ono in each ward with the Second
ward d little the strongest of the four.
The vote by wards was as follows;

wears and to find the necessary dowry
to settle upon her, engaging in ad-
venturous forays upon his neighbors'

SANITARY REQUIREMENTS
 TO BE MORE STRINGENT.

Newport is to be kept in better san itary condition this summer. The mayor and board of health are so de- termined and every public spirited citizen should join in such a crusade against filth.
 An inspection is to be made by the board in a few d~y ya and all premises should be cleaned up else some par ties are going to be subjected to fines by the mayor. Cleanliness is vir- ture that is second in rank to but one and is just as necessary for a city as the individual. Let every citizen in- terest himself in the public good by looking after his own property.
