AT THE WATERWORkS.
New Building, New Machinery, New Reser'
voir Among the improvements.

A visit to the city waterworks the
other day showed representative OF the
HERALD that the city council was alive
to the importance of a sufficient water
supply, and was going after it in a bust
nesslike way. The new reservoir when
completed will store large volume Of
water for emergency use. as well as per-
nit the cleaning out OF either pond with
out shutting eff the supply from the city.
1t might be we'll to have both reservoirs
covered on the bottom with thin layer
of concrete, to facilitate cleaning them.
Contractor w. ii. White is finishing
the new building for the pumping
station, the old Building having been re-
moved. No dwellings have cen pro-
vided for the employees, that section of
the city having grown up close enough
to afford residences near by. A new and
larger boiler has replaced the old one,
and the foundation is being laid for the
new pump. which is ready to be installed.
This pump is one OF the best models
made; has compound non.condensing
capacity of 5000, 900 gallons day. 1t
has 16 inch high pressure cylinders; o.
inch low pressure; l6-inch plunger.
with a 20.inch stroke, is of Smedley
make and first class in every particular.
With these improvements, it is believe d
the water supply Of Aberdeen will he
ample for several years, or until its
growth compels looking for greater
source OF supply.

Was That His Way?

matte and furnishes fine stream OF
admiration for the Hon. FRANK Way
land HIGGINs's Clean speech, an addi-
ton to "the' wonderful list of great
speeches Of Republican leaders" In
this great" speech Mr. HIGdINs notes
the intimate connection between ma
tional policies and the business OF the
State"
What the voters of New York note and
mean to stop is the intimate connection
between the State Government and the
private business of members Of that
Government and their friends. They
want the public business carried on for
the public interest and not made an
annex to private Graft. '.-
Mr. HIaGINs, says his Buffalo pane
eyrist, mot only knows what ought, to
be done about matters pertaining to
New York alone, but how to do it in order
to get the best results from the State
Government. l.. *
As a member of the Canal Board, Mr.
HIdGINs voted for an excavation into
the State treasury. He consented TO- a
palpable and shameless steal. Was that
his notion Of what ought to be done
about matters pertaining to New York;
Was that his way of getting the best re-
suits for the State Government?

Parker and the Constitution In Ala
bama.

The Hon. j. THOMAS HELM, Repre-
sentative in Congress Of the Fifth Ala
bama district, is reported to have used
in q speech made at Tuskegee, Oct. 4,
this savage language:
There they sat. ROOSEVELT and BOOKER, and
II some Czoinosz or ono OF his kind had thrown a
bomb under the table great harm would have
been done the country.
If BOOKER WASHINGTON takes hand In this
thing 1t will be one time will ask him to step out.
will ask him TO hands OF, and you know we have
way OF influencing down here"
This report appeared in a special des-
patch to the Washington Post, q news
paper which win not be suspected Of
any intentional unfairness toward South
ern politicians. We hope, however, that
some bad joker has imposed upon our
contemporary.
Still, there is nothing improbable in
the despatch. Mr.. HELM may have
been stimulated by the rustling of the
laurels of Governor VARDAMAN of Mis-
sissippi and the Hon, Bon GLENN, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
North Carolina.
Perhaps these judcious controversial
lists regard Judge PARKER as a dead
duck, and 40 don't mind what they say.

passed by q Liberal House Of Commons,
though it might be thrown. out by the,
Lords. That the Liberals, twice COM
mtted to the cause of Irish Home Rule,
would do at least as much for Ireland
as for Wales, to which hitherto when
in power they have conceded next to
nothing, is uRquestionable.
There can be no doubt that the Ma
tional Council granted to Wales con-
tains the germ of enlightenment. 1t
must have suggested to Lord DUNRAvEN
and his friends that feature in his Home
Rule project which provided for the
establishment at Dublin Of an Irish
financial council that should administer
the appropriations made for the benefit
Of Ireland. His scheme also included
the establishment Of local legislature
at Dublin which should deal with strictly
Irish affairs. As we have intimated,
the programme advocated by Mr. LLOYD
GEORGE contemplates similar devolu-
ton of lawmaking powers to the Welsh
National Council 1t Is well known that
Scotland already has a Secretary Of
State who is concerned exclusively with
Scottish affairs, and it Is evident that
from this representation Of Scotland In
the British Ministry it Is but step to
the creation OF Scottish National Coun-
Gil similar to the body already granted
to Wales.
There are many indications that the
old suggestion of Home Rule all round
is beginning to be recognized as the true
solution of the problem which confronts
the overburdened British Parliament

The Two Candidates for Governor.

FRANK WAYLAND HIGGINS was nomi-
mated for Governor Of New York by the
Republican State convention on Sept
is. At the time Of his nomination he
occupied a political Office. He had pre-
vious knowledge of the nomination that
was coming to him. His business at
fairs were Of such character as not to
prevent him from beginning OF once a
campaign to enlighten the people as to
his personal fitness for the Office to which
he aspires. Yet in the time that has
elapsed since his nomination he has re-
manned in the shadow Of his patron, an
unimportant, unforoeful negligible and
neglected figure, comparatively over
Swallowed and hidden by the men who
surround him.
d. CADY HERRICK was nominated for
Governor OF New York by the Demo-
cratic State convention on Sept. 81. At
the time of his nomination he occupied
judicial Office. He had no foreknowl-
edge of the honor that was to DO be-
slowed upon him. His professional
affairs and engagements demanded UNI
divided attention and received it. And
yet in the time that has elapsed since bis
nomination he has wound up his duties
as Judge, set his house in order, begun
his campaign and impressed himself
upon his fellow citizens as a man of
energy, of character and of force. No
individual or organization in the Demo-
cratic party, overshadows or hides him.
The men behind and about him play
their parts, but he occupies the COM
manding position and stands out as the
leader.
A study Of these two men and their
characteristics as displayed in the cam
paign should be made by every voter.
Having made it, let the voter ask himself
these questions: Which Of the two in
the Governors chair would be Governor
in fact as we'll as in name? Which Of
them possesses initiative, independence
of judgment and self-reliance in action?
Which of them lacks these qualities?

to criminal violence" And 1t asks the
United States to pay this debt, to grant
a protection which Is not accorded to
those who have been under the American
flag much longer than the Porto Ricans,
by imposing an exorbitant tax on the
coffee of millions of American wage
earners. Such propositions need no
comment. and such expression of them
makes no appeal to American sympathy.
We now beg leave to suggest a scheme
for Porto Rican enterprise which we
believe to be still within the means Of
even the impoverished planters. The
Americans are business people, and
one way to get business is to make it.
The demand for the brands of coffee con-
sumed in this country by the thousands
Of tons was created by business push
and activity, by display, by advertising,
by placing those brands before the
American people and almost forcing
them down the American throat. The
same can be done with the Porto Rican
product If individual interest is fnan-
cially unable to adopt such a course,
there would be justification, in the inter-
est of the island, for an appropriation
from the insular treasury to establish
advertising stations in dozen American
cities where cups Of coffee could be given
away, small sample packages distributed,
and larger packages sold to those who
wanted to buy. This is no new method
in this country, and it has been success
full in many instances.
Let Porto Ricans, or Porto Rico, open
attractive coffee rooms in or near those
centres where shopping housekeepers
swarm in thousands every day, place
therein courteous attendants, and serve
sample cups of coffee free or for penny
a cup. If there is great future for their
coffee, as we believe there is, they can
make market by creating demand.
But, they may say, it would cost
100000. Suppose it does. A business of
siO,OoO,OOo year is at stake, and 100000
may make it. We submit the suggestion
for Porto Rican consideration.

THE FUTURE or THE SOUTH.
The COttOn-Gr0winE Capacity OF tho
J. ststes-ItaIisn Immigration.


ToTHEEp1ToR OF THE SUN-Sir: Referring
to the editorial Of Oct. 9. The South Capable
OF Supplying the Worlds Demand for Cot
ton, ;" 1t IL gratifying to have THE Sun concur
with the conclusions Of Mr.. R. II. Edmonds.
editor Of the Manufactured Record. that as
fast as the needs OF mankind may demand.
the South will furnish sufficient cotton to keep
this necessary article at a reasonable price.
You refer in the editorial to improved
methods of agriculture. In my opinion the
South has not yet awakened to the great
benefits to be derived from the application Of
scientific methods to agriculture. In n re-
cent visit to a friend in North Carolina who
is the owner of several large cotton plantations.
| saw four acres of ordinary cotton land from
which eight bales Of cotton had been gath
cred. This farmer. man OF culture and OF
scientific attainment. assured me land 1t
seemed unnecessary to emphasize it, since the
demonstration has been made) that the arabic
land at present cultivated could by such
methods be made to produce double the
present yield of cotton. namely 2t.000. 600
bales.
Bearing this in mind, and appreciating the
fact that probably not one-half Of the land
in the South is at present cleared and cnlti-
waited, II is easy to conclude that many ages
must elapse before the demand could possibly
20 beyond the supply from the Southern sec
ton OF the United States.
In the immediate future believe the most
urgent need of the South Is immigration, and
that the Italians of middle and northern Italy
will furnish ideal laborers and citizens. The
climatic conditions there and In the cotton
belt are about the same. and the laborers In
That part of Italy are chiefly farmers. They
are intellige sober industrious and frugal
and would quickly learn the methods Of cot
ton cultivation.
II Mr.. Edmonds, who has done and il doing
so much for the cotton States. will undertake
this great problem, the awakening enter
prise of the people Of that section will mid in
it's successful solution. JOHN A. Myth.
