WATER SYSTEM.
Our people deserve a better and
more thorough water system than
it has hitherto been their privi
lege to enjoy. Many different
propositions have been submitted
t the city council by Dr. Farra
in behalf of the present water
company proposing to construct
more elaborate works, while
offers have come from parties
living at a distance to also con
struct more complete systems.
A system which will give the
people pure water irom the dis
tant mountain streams appears to
ie tit rniar toiII of the teoDle.
It certi?'. aid be magnani
mous .r) Vi ? for the city
cou ncil ' : i ffce privilege to
construct the better system to
Dr. Farra, all other things being
equal and the terms proposed
and the character and purity of
the water being equal to that pro
posed by others. This becomes
apparent when we consider that
the members of the old company
are our neighbors and have their
works and property already here.
A new system ot water works,
however, is to be constructed
for the future and the character
aud source of supply of the water
should be pure and good enough
for fifty years hence. The peo
ple's interests are therefore great
er than the interest of any one;
company and should be guarded
with scrutinizing care and fidel
ity. Why gome of the many
propositions submitted by the
old company have not been
favored and accepted by the city
council is best known to them
selves. Valuable time is rapidly
passing away and a great deal of
property in mai.y .arts of the
city stands without water to pro
tect it from fire, and something
should be done with as reason
able dispatch as practical to obtain
good results.
In approaching a time when
valuable public houses are built,
architects are invited to submit
plans, specifications and figures
showing what they will build the
structure for. In this ' way the
P
''fferent peioris
at a fcpe
which. v
isUct-
. . to chootc iioin,
ys leads to rit
In a sia- ar
way would it not be best for the
council 10 give ample notice in
viting plans, specifications and
bids from whomsoever may sub-
mit them, offering to construct
a system of water works giving
the source of supply, price and
all detail? The council can ap
appoint a competent engineer to
examine the several plans and
ofiers aud determine which is
best. Iu this way the council
can adopt the most desirable
offer and grant a franchise and
enter into a contract for city
water under the plans accepted.
It would seem like nothing short
of a supply from the purest
mountain system to be had
should be accep Nothing
short of this will nutt the views
of the people unless it shall be
found impossible to get it.
PENSIONS.

gratitude of that country when
disabled, old and becoming poor.
This is Republican doctrine, and
that it is no idle pretense, no
flimsy generality, the records
since the thunder of the guns that
defended the Union were silenced
in victory have abundantly
proved. Our splendid pension
system which has no precedent
in the history .of the world,
and no peer in justice and gen
erosity among the nations of the
earth, is a distinctively Republi
can institution, not one feature
of which is due or ever has been
fostered or claimed by the Demo
cratic party. The boast of the
Republican party that it has
never failed to redeem every
promise made in the daik hours
of that great struggle of the last
centurv, the promise to care for
the soldier, for his widow, and for
his childien has been faithfully
kept in every particular. Gro
ver Cleveland, who made a very
eminent president viewed through
Democratic spectacles, dropped
8,694 deserving pensioners from
the roll, and 23,702 pensions were
reduced.

Doctor Could Not Help Her.
"I had kidney trouble for years,"
writes Mrs, Raymond Conner of Shelton,
Wash., "and the doctors could not help
me. 1 tried Foley's Kidney Cure, and
the very first dose gave me relief and I
am now cured. I cannot say too much
for Foley's Kidney Cure." It makes the
diseased kidneys sound so they will elim
inate the poisons from the blood. Unless
they do this, good health is impossible

Mo Cat e of Pneumonia on Record.

some unknown preparation which may
contain opiates, which cause constipa

from a cold. Ask for Foley's Honey and
Tar and refuse any substitute offered.
