AMERICAN GOLD IN EUROPE

The taunt of American gold' seems
to be touchy one, occasionally in
European politics. We all remember
now, last year. when the British eIec.
tlons were on, the taunt that American
gold had changed things in Great Brit
ain was only to be considered as an in.
suit and 10 be resented as such; aud
yet American gold was as popular with
those who delivered the taunt as with
those who defended against it. The
truth is, American gold is popular ey.
erywhere IN the world and nowhere
mo-! e so than in Great Britain and in
the various countries of Europe which
affect at times to despisc the American
Nation, the American people, and Amer.
lean wealth.
Germany has no antipathy to Amer
lean gold That empire has been Dor
rowing large sums in New York during
the present year. and il is only lust 10
say, with respect to Germanv. that
there has never been any affectation
there of despising American gold. They
like it, make no bones of liking it. and
raise no question about it. American
gold is Just as welcome in Germany As
any other gold and gold is always wei,
come there. as il is elsewhere in the
world; but Germany is honest about II
and makes no pretense Of despising il.
The latest affectation and scorn of
American gold is from former Prime

Col. Roosevelt, when the expulsion of

victory of his own. "I did it; it was

was the great anti-Lorimer force; also
that the Chicago Tribune is his own

making himself ridiculous by stealing

MUNICIPAL WATER WORKS.

Some years the city of Omaha al
lowed Its water works TO 20 into pri-
vatc hands, and water works com.
pany was incorporated with an option
in the franchise which permitted the
city to buy back the franchise and
the municipal right Of water supply,
at the expiration Of certain time. But
when that time arrived, and the
municipality undertook TO exercise this
option, and recover its rights to the
municipal water supply, all possible
technical objections were made, and
the price put upon the franchise and
right Of supply by the company was
exorbtant. A long period of litiga-
tion ensued, which has lasted now for
moro than twelve years. Finally,
however, the city has been able,
through the payment of very large
court expenses and a reimbursement of
the water company amounting to
its water supply, and the ownership Of
a badly used up water plant. While
the water company fought the rights
of the city with desperation, and
claimed TO be confident of winning and
retaining the water monopoly, that
company has allowed the system to
run down, the pipes to become INSULT
cient, and the general plant to de-
teriorate, so that it is now in practi-
cally wrecked condition. The city
will have to build anew, besides paying
the large sum of money named 10 get
rid of the company, and also the heavy
court expense entailed. 1t is a great
victory for the city, however, even at
that cost. and will be Of incalculable
benefit to the people of Omaha for all
time to come.
In San Francisco the same fight is
on, but the Spring Valley Water Com
papy, which has the monopoly, asks
even q more exorbtant price than did
the Omaha company, claiming upwards
of S50,000,000 as the price at which it
will surrender its monopoly to the city.
The outcome Of this contest will prob
ably not be seen for many years.
In Utah under our State constitution
municipalities are not allowed to part
with their water supply, and few
municipalities have even considered
the proposition of allowing the iucom.
ing Of a private company to control
the water supply. But in Territorial
days the City OF Ogden, spurning the
advice of The Tribune, parted with
its municipal water supply. Fortunate
", however, it was able, q number of
years later, to recover its ground, and
now Ogden also is the master Of its
water supply, Just as every
city should be. The peril of allowing
a private company TO get possession
and control of the city water is one
of those obnoxious things that -four.
ished in former generation, but
in the present generation it has no Ia
vor. The city wants ample water sup
ply, and its citizens know that the
only way to get it is to have the mu-
own, control, and distribute
the water.

CHRISTENSEN ON G. A. R.

The Tribune is in full accord with
the proposition to afford every possible
inducement for bringing the National

ahundantly of all the teachers. no mat
ter how MANY may come. The hotel
accommodation here are getting to be
extensive, and homes Will be thrown
open without stint for the accommoda-
that in all this matter there is and
can he but one opinion. and that is
that Salt Lake viii take every posi-
BILE step that can be incumbent upon
hospitable host and will make the
teachers comfortable. and their visit
enjoyable.
At the same time. we wish TO enter
a protest against the sort of talk which
Superintendent ID. H. Christensen of
the city schools of Salt Lake INDUCED
in, as carried in the Deseret News of
Saturday evening, as follows;
was a member OF the committee which
had IN charge the providing o! accom-
modationS for the veterans OF the g A.

YOU know was not the rule of the C;
A. r.. which so far as financial returns

up TO the expectations:
First Of all, we would say that there
rs no reason to speak coutemptuously
of the veterans OF the Grand Army, nor
TO minimize the comforts that ought to
he, and were provided for them when
of them are in need of the tenderest
care, because of their age and infirmi-
ties. and considerable number of them
brought their wives and daughters with
them: it is also the case that many of
them are prominent in their own homes,
and are able to pay for the best.
There is no occasion whatever to re-
fer to them in n derogatory vein, as
compared with the teachers in the
schools OF the United States So far
as we are concerned. while having the
utmost respect for the teachers, and
the greatest good will toward their en-
tcrtainment and comfort, if it came to
a question between them and the Grand
Army veterans and their wives and
daughters, we would say that the
Grand Army people were somewhat to
be preferred in the matter of anxiety
for their comfort and care. But it is
entirely needless to invoke comparisons
OF this kind, and to speak with sort
of reiled contempt of the Grand Army
men and their families, as Mr.. Chris
tenscn seems TO do.
1t is true that Mr.. Christensen was
q member of the committee that had in
charge the providing of accommodate
tlons for the G.. 4. r. veterans, and il
is also true that the Government, at
