HEARTwBLL, Neb., Feb. @-To the
Bditor OF The Bee: Recently in q little
town near Hastings a couple OF Wilson
enthusiasts who evidently regarded
themselves to be OF considerable import
anoe. advanced arguments that were
equivalent to the assertion that Wilson
Is the only man in the United States
the people can consistently choose at the
coming election for president; that It Is
impossible to tell what a mans real
ability is until he has served for a time
In the presidential chair. They further
oontended that governors and postmaster
are unnecessary officials: that they per-
form no real service, have no responai-
bility and do not exercise Judgment in a.
way to give an indication OF fitness.
In the light OF such reasoning, II il can
be called reasoning. strange II is that
the democratic party discovered Wilson's 3
sterling qualities while he was serving
as governor of New Jersey, and that
as progressive as the democratic party
would have us believe It is, postofficV
officialdom has not been abolished, and
no start made to abolish governorships.
Assuming that the democratic party
has the government fully in its own
hands, II Wilson will accept, we may ex-
pect him to be president the rest of his
life; and when he expires. that Bryan.
who probably will still be hale and
hearty, will be given a tryout.
Now, we have a dream Of the past,
within the memory of living men. when

NORWICH STREETS.

For a number of years in response to the demands for improved streets the taxpayers in city meeting ap- proved of the plan for placing per- manent pavemeu#s in some of the principal thoroughfares. The inn provement has added greatly to the appearance of our streets and no one would think for minute of going back to the unsatisfactory conditions which formerly existed.
 For several years there has been lit tie or nothing done in this direction but the opportunity for the continua- tion of such work is by no means lacking. Petitions have been made for appropriations to improve streets and particularly the entrances to the city, but the need of keeping down the tax rate has resulted in such proposi- tions being indefinitely postponed.
 Again this year in the call for the city meeting are included a number of petitions for the improvement of streets. Some of the improvements have been asked for repeatedly and are only such as the city should un- dertake especially when consideration is given to the two big outlets through Thames and North Main streets. They, dS WSA dS 6o1uS oLuSISs SAOulQ pc puI in such condition that they would be credit to the city and it is entirely possible without burdening the tax payers. It could be accomplished un- der such a method as was adopted when Little Water street was widened and with slight pairing of the esti- mates made for this extra work ii would be possible to secure this much needed benefit by laying a half mil tax for the next four years. No one would feel this mite. a number of the needs could be met and the appear ance of the city approaches greatly improved and such work would put an end to eyesores and street problem: which are hard nuts for any commis- sioner to crack. Such is a matter which ought to get thorough consid. eraticn at the coming city meeting.

A PeouIiar We'll In Florida.

Tn their investigation of the wellG and underground waters of Florida the geoIogfsts of the United States Geo. logical Survey have noted many in- teresting things. Among these is a well at WelaI1a, on St. Johns River, from wfid1 two kinds of water are obtained.
 This well is s09 feet deep. The length of the casing is 11O feet The well was first drilled to 160 feet, and from this depth ordinary sulphur" water was obtained. The drill was then carried to a depth of 309 feet, where it encountered strong mineral water having a disagreeable salty taste. In order to use both kinds of water an inner t9Ebing was run nearly to the bottom of the well. Both this and the outer casing were connected with pumps, so that ordinary water and mineral water can be pumped at the same time. A fayorfte joke play ed on visitors is to give them a drink of the weaker water in the first glass and to replace it with the brine in the second.
 Not more than half a dozen wells of this kind are known in the country, but there is no reason why similar wells can not be obtained in regions where the waters in the uper strata differ from those lying deeper.

TIME WILn TELE.

From the claims which are coming from Germany regarding other British ships sunk in the fight off Jutland, and the accompanying denials from Great Britain that such is the case because those ships have already re- turned to their base and are therefore not at the bottom of the North sea, it is quite evident that there is still much uncertainty as to just what the respective losses were in that great battle.
 Great Britain declares that it has announced each and every one of the ships that were lost, but as yet nc such statement has come from Ber- lin. There has as yet been no answer to the British .nsistence that the enemy lost IS vessels. including some of it's best ships, which if so would make its loss in tonnage and men equal if not greater than that of Great Britain.
 The time will come when the real facts will be known, but the. fight has shown, whichever side is eventually found to have suffered the greater loss, that the bottled up German fleei can fight when it does come out, ever though it does not possess the ability to wrest the control of the sea iron John Bull, but though it can fight i has not demonstrated that it can af. ford to make many such sacrifices a. it did last week and expect to main. tain an effective navy. The futur, alone will reveal whether Germany considers it's part in the fight such a: to warrant a repetition under lik, conditions.
