WONDERFUL WORK
Is Being Performed by the Hot
Snrinns Doctors Every lQay.

Is Being Performed by the Hot
Springs Doctors Every Day.
The Hot Springs doctors have been
receiving patients in their permanent
institute in the New Telephone Build
Ing, on Second street, all week. They
come by dozens and by scores, from
near and from far, to take advantage
Of the offer of free examination and
treatment at cost to all who present
themselves before January LIST Many
are the sufferers who present them
selves for examination-many to be
cured and many to be told that their
case cannot be taken-for these mas
ter specialists accept only durable
cases.
The case Of Andrew Dlehm, Of KEEL
logg, Iowa, is>a very interesting one.
Mr.. Diehm says: "About year ago
had slight injury to my knee. The
doctors put my knee in plaster cast
and when the cast was removed,
could not walk. Finally, I bought a
brace for my knee and was able to
hobble about by the use of a cane. FL
nally after trying many doctors
went to the Hot Springs Doctors. After
taking one treatment l threw away
my brace and now can do my own
work on the farm am getting we'll
fast and give all praise to the Hot
Springs Doctors"
The free examinations continue I'M
til January list, after which full fees
will be charged.

Cantril, Dec. IS Hurting anathe-

who is conducting revival meetings at

worked himself up to the highest pitch

THE WATER BILL.

There Is now before the Governor for his sig
nature New-York City water bill 1t is com
monty called the Mayors bill, though it is far
different from the measure originally introduced
by the representatives of the municipal govern
mept Some of the changes made in it have
seemed to us unwise and deplOrable. Neverthe-
less. some good has been left in it which may
be of service TO the city. while its deficiencies
may be remedied some day by supplementary
legislation The Mayor has given the measure
his qualified approval, though with a reminder
that the bill in its mutiated form does not
by any means meet the reasonable require
Iuents Of the city. 1t is TO lie hoped that the
Governor also will give 1t his approval, and
thus make ii law.
Some objections have been made TO the BILL
the only considerable ones being upon the
ground that the powers granted by it TO the
new Board of Commissioners are extraordinary
and are in conflict with the city charter. 70
those objections the Merchants Association or
this city makes what seems to he Sats1ac-
tory reply That Is to the effect that those yer!
powers were granted TO a former commission
in 1883; that fourteen years later. in 1871 the
makers of the new city charter after exhaust
i've consideration, decided 10 approve them anu
tn recommend their continuance and that final
" in 1901 the charter revision commission Spe-
cfcalIy declared that the ordinary provisions
Of the charter should not apply to the admins
tration of the water system. This answer APP
pears to dispose of the objections upon charter
grounds.
1t would be easy TO 90 even further ana 10
show as the Merchants Association does, that
the State constitution regards the securing OF
q water supply for cities as an exceptionally
urgent matter. not subject to the limitations
which surround other public works. mus Il
city is permitted for water purposes TO exceed
1be debt limit fixed for all other classes OF eN-
penditures. To argue the urgent need OF IAe
measure to enable New1ork to avert potential
disaster would lee superf1uous. If it be said
that the bill is unnecessary, since existing laws
and administrative machinery are suihclent 10
enable the city 10 extend its waterWorkS, the
answer is that the existing machinery, as de-
monstrated by the delay and gross mismanage-
ment in the Croton Valley is thoroughly DIS
credited and there is as much need or better
administrative system as there is OF an IN
creased supply.
The bill before the Governor IS far from per
feet but it errs in giving the new commission
TOO LITTLE rather than too much power lmper-
feet as il is it will do much good. and ITS en-
actment into law and the prompt Application
Of its provisions to the City's needs are earnes.-

Propitious conditions do not always attend
the attempt TO begin international yacht
race off Sandy Hook. In the inauspicious Weauler
which DELAYED the contest for the EmperoTs

fate Of the Americas Cup was involved Time
and time again the wind has been so light and
'auky'' that a postponement Of the start be
came absolutely necessary. or else. the boats
having once been sent off. what ought to have
been trial or nautical skill and the excellence
of builders designs degenerated into drifting
match 1t now becomes evident that May offers
little better promise of wind than August or
September If calms and fogs are more com
mon in summer and early autumn than in
spring, season has complete monopoly of
them. Disappointing as yesterdays hindrances
were. therefore, both the participants in the race
and those lovers of sport who went down the
Bay 10 see its start have the feeble consolation
of knowing that other people have been COM
PEELED to undergo the same YeXation Of spirit
theirs.
The wisdom of the committee in postponing
the start until the meteorological situation i'm
proves is beyond question. Though the breeze
freshened perceptibly after midday, the weather
remained thick enough 10 render manpuvring
dangerous Even had there been only two or
three entries there would have been n chance
of collision and damage at the outset: but the
risk largely increased by the number Of
yachts which were to take part. The desira-
bility of caution emphasized by the slight
mishap to the Fleur de Lys in the forenoon; and
TO have disregarded that warning would have
been injudicious in the extreme After inter
walls OF a few hundred yards-to say nothing of
a few miles-have been opened between the
boats fog should occasion less anxiety than
when they are in bunch. Besides delay of
q day in arriving off the coast Of Cornwall can
hardly interfere with any social or other en-
gagements of the competing yachtsmen

That mart of the Citizens Union declaration
which deals with gas is in one sense true III
another sense 1t is unjust, and suggests an at
tempt for Interior purposes TO couple the I'ePuD-
ucans and Tammany Hall and claim Tor the

cannon be said to be either Republican or Demo

ton in its legislative policy may stand for 1alr
price and a reasonable pressure, while another
party may stand against them. There may De
10 political principle involved, but In formulat-
ing practical measures Of government one party
may be right and another wrong. The admin
istIation Of q city is a work OF business NOT
politics, but the people OF the city must judge
which party stood for their interest and which
stood for the interest Of the gas corporations
when legislative relief was sought, and which
offers the greater hope for the future.
From this point of view II is manifest that the
welfare OF the people demands a Republican
legislature and a city government administra-
lively uOn-partisan, as advocated by Republican
platforms and provided for by Republican
amendment Of the constitution, but working in
cooperation with the Republicans at Albany as
the Low administration did. Such a govern
ment can never be secured from Tammany, and
It is the sheerest affectation TO try balancing be-
tween cooperation with the. Republicans and
cooperation with the Democrats. There is not
the reInotest possibility OF electing any admin
istration which is not thoroughly partisan
cept by the aid Of the Republican party.
Far from being on a par with that Of Tam
many, the Republican record in this gas bust
ness has been highly creditable. The gas scan
dial first arose through the Tammany effort to
make wasteful deal with the gas company and
recede from the stand against extortion taken
by Mayor Lows administration. In response

ton, the Republicans undertook a legislative
investigation The gas lobby tried 10 prevent
this, but the responsible majority put II through.
The investigation was conducted with dill
