SENSIBLE AGITATION.

Sensible agitation generally leads to
practical and desirable results, but when
agitation is suggested as sensation and
involves, as it were, the vitals of a com
munity, then it is not possible to COM
pute the damage which may be irrepar-
able
The water agitation sprung on the
community was unnecessary 1t IS IN
defensible. There was no reason or
cause for it. and all that which has de
veloped is the patent fact that the city
IS well as the health authorities have
failed in the discharge of their duty.
The law applying to sewerage connec-
tons and to sanitation is positive, and
! yet this law has been defied with fla
grant contempt. as indicated by the
Inon-connection with the sewerage system
Of the city.
If the law can not be enforced, then
it should be repealed, but the law can
be enforced if determined effort be
have assumed to be greater than the law,
Why should any sewerage, or waste
| from any industry or any source what
ever, be permitted to flow into the bayou
when it should go into the sewerage
pipes underground:
| There should be no favorltlsm, nor
should any industry or firm or individ-
ual be privileged to disregard the law,
which requires connection with the sew
erage underground.
The axity of law is traceable to the
authorities whose duty it is to supervise
the health and general welfare of the
community. by having abated promptly
every nuisance and all things having the
least tendency to impair the healthful-
ness of this city, which, fortunately and
notwithstanding its detractors, is one OF
the best of its size on the American con-
tlnent.

THE WATER FOR THE FUTURE.


1t is not singular that sensible men
will frequently err grievousy when
they are striving to win popularity for
political effect. To be in the public eye
is failing with some men and some
men become dazed when once III the
1imelight of publicity. However, we have
depressed from our subject, which IS
THE Water for the Future No prac-
teal, sensible citizen at all familiar with
conditions will pretend to intimate that
the present source of the water supply
must be permanent.
1t is fact that the waterworks when
installed in 1886 were not intended to
meet the requirements of population Of
thirty thousand and it is also of record
that the city's contract with the Water
works Company will expire in thirty
years, dating from August 1886, when
according to the option clause the plant
may be acquired by the city at such
price as may be determined and as specl-
fed in the contract, but possibly by that
time the citys interest may not dictate
the requirement of the plant, which may
not be adequate to the needs of the pop
ulace What may become of the present
plant at that time is merely surmsed,
but what should be done in season is to
determine on the source of the water
p,.o-1, 60. +l,a sat,
According to reports OF individuals
who are familiar with such questions,
the source of supply may be obtained
from several points.
1t may be by artesian wells.
1t may be by connection with the
lakes, in which pure water abounds and
from which may be stored inteligently
all the water which will be needed when
Shreveport has population OF hun
dren thousand people.
What should not be done i equally
plain
Red river water should be let alone.
And not dollar should be wasted

abortive.
Nor should any scheme or plan be ap-
proved which may, for the time being,
bring some functionary or individual
into prominence.
The interests of the city should never
be secondary to the political ambition of
any man.
What must be done should be done
with deliberation and with the con-
seriousness that it is not practicable nor
possible to remove the present water
station as frame house or a vehicle,
but by strict enforcement of the law
requiring connections with all sewerage
pipes underground and by the rigid OBJ
servance of sanitary regulations, there
will be assured the greatest possible
safeguards to the health of the COM
munity.
In considering the water for the
future the most thoughtful, conserva-
tive and intelligent view, regardless of
the promotion of indivi lual ambition,
should command attention.
This water question is too serious d..
proposition to be trifed with

The transfer book Of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company have been
closed for the adjourned
annual meeting to be held in Chicago
on December 49, Within the last few
days the fight for the control Of the
road has become more intense. The
Hartman interests, it is reported,
have had a representative abroad to
obtain Illinois Central proxies now
pledged to Stuyyesant Fish for use
at the adjourned meeting. A. 9
Hackstaff, vice president Of the Il
linois Central, is the man who has
been engaged in interviewing the
large foreign stockholders. These
holders have in most cases given
their proxies to Mr. Fish, and they
contributed a large part of the
strength he showed at the annual
meeting in October Among these
foreign holdings is one lot Of nearly
10000 shares, which is held by a
Dutch investment company, and
there are other large concentrated
holdings which are represented in
London. Both of the warning in
terests represented in the battle for
the control of the Illinois Central are
apparently certain Of success at the
adjourned meeting.
