(1'lin followlnurnustlc: comments from tho pen of n prominent, pulille spirited oltUeu Mho llins opportunities Tor Inslilo oliscrvn tlon, are likely to Iki read with more than or illnury luti'resi.ilealhiK. ns they do, with mat tersof overyihiy lire. Kn.l Wnterl Wnteri Tlmt Is what tho ulty council Is nfter, The CoituiKii will mildly siiKt?i-st to tlni wise men who n re more or less disgracing Lincoln by their weekly wrangles, that an nrU'slmi well would suttln all tliu dllllculty mid give our city all the water necessary for the next llfty years. They will llud it much cheaper thnu the present sjstcin, mid the wnter will Iw over ho much better. Hut how deep shall we hnvn to go for wnterl exclaims Councilman Llmpfoot. We cannot tell; but wo can tell tho council man that such as ho should not be heard 011 the suliject for ho Is totally 11. g. In tho mut ter. Wo wrltn this for tho gentlemen of tho city council who ihshv to tako euro of the city's Interests, mid not for Hioso who deslru to Ixirtcr n way tho city water plant to n prl viitn company. Homo of tho largest cities In the world depend on iirtoilan wells alto gether for their wnter supply, mid It never falls, True, the artesian welt In post olllco sipuire would not answer tho purine, hut liecnuso Its wnter Is salty Is no reason why sweet water cannot bo hectircd In this local ity. Under this soil of ours, there nro lakes nnd mighty rivers Mowing tho very best of witters; dig for ono of thuo until you find It even though It were two thousand feet deep. The ridiculous Iden of having soveral wells some seventy feet deep for 11 constant mid lasting supply dues not senk well for the In telligence of our cople. The council may bo reminded of tho fact that instead of turning over tho city water works plant to n privuto corporation, that it would bo much better for them to pull Into tho custody of tho iiiuulclp'ility tho eloctrlo light plant. HUps taken to (that olToct will meet with tho entire approbation of tho peo ple. It Is to bo feared; however, that tho ac tual city council is beyond redemption; In fact It Is not a city council at all, they do not represent tho peopto In th'i lenst, tlioy are tho agents of the II. & M. U.K., of tho street railway, of tho electric light company, and of a few money scalpers thrown in, Tho time for tho selection of candidates is near at hand, mid it Is the duty of the bettor citizenship of the place to see to It that men are selected in tho various wards who can not ticcomo tho Instruments of tho corKira-1 turns. A stop must Ihj called or else tho proud city of Lincoln Is doomed to decay ; Instead of 11 bourn, It will bo 11 general gloom. It will not ho out of place to suite Ight here that tho electric light company does not live by Its contract with tho city; tho lights have to burn until twelve; often they nro out ut half past eleven; tliu co.upauy also takes un due advantage of the innoii iiolhln, is out of their reach. It needs 11 rigid stand; the city has the right to ex ict it. Ifitunuuot bo secured otherwise the contract with tho elec tric light company should bo uunuled and a city plant Ihj put in. Is Chief of Police Dlnges tho vlct'm of cir cumstances! No Indeed; ho is the victim of a ridiculous system which allows law breakers, thugs, mid thelves to Invoke the law In their defense. Crime cannot claim protection; the liberty of the criminal classes Is dangerous to the liberty of tho people. Laws nro made to protect tho law abiding poiplo; and such persons have for nearly one roar been obliged to run shy of the chief of p illce imagine themselves persecuted, It is too silly for anything. Hut that which is not ho silly, but really dangjroin to our society, Is to tb.d that wo have Judges who believe that tho law breakers havo rights that society is bound to respect. It will become iui04slhle to enforce tho laws If this state of affairs is allowed to exist much longer, aud it is n shame umiii our Judiciary to Hud among them men who will tako the part of law breakers nguiust the man whoe duty It Is, In tho timiii of tho people, to break up their nefarious and crim inal scheme. The press is p irtly responsible for this state of affairs, since It would ho mi easy matter for it to give the chief of police the support that he so richly deserves. It is better ror our people, if he goes even further than tho law allows him when oacaslou re quires it. than for him not to enforce the law at all. Tho Lincoln dallies should stand by the chief of police under all circum-stau.-es; by so dolu tho crooked gentry would soon find the placa too hot to hold them. The sople can rejoice that they havo nt Inst ono Judge who does not believe in allow, ing the law to shield the law breakers against whom Chief of Police Dingo has made-such a relentless mid thankless war; tho name of that Judge Is I. W. Lansing, All honor to him for his decision. He does not mean to have the crooked gentry ru 1 the chief of police into Jail, 110 matter how mu'h thoy can swear; ho rather havo it the other way. He knows woll euoujli that the oath iff the ordinary mid average blackleg and crook or their nccolytes cannot be relied upon. Ho knows well enough that the sooner the gang Is driven off, the better for too morals of our young men, for It Is indeed n bad ind dan gerous example for our youth, to see a lot of gamblers whoso nwtliod of stealing only ill f fer in name with those of tho sneak thief mid house breaker, sport their tins clothes mid diamonds upon the sidewalks, hi the bar rcoms mid in tho lobby of our hotels with the most audacious Impudence while assum ing the airs of gentlemen. Luckily they cannot deceive any ono oxcept tho very greenest greeny; their countenances are stamped with a capital R und they oven smell offensive, the scent of the "bagno" All hall to Judge Lansing, mid may tho smaller fry Judges of the city take example by him or else tho day of Judgement will hit them hard. It is not n lack of intelligence that is want ing among our councllmen, or !nt least that lack is not .utllclent to hurt tho city; it is tho lack of honest puroses: mid It is this that is fatal. Some of them never were lit to be councllmen, either by character or In telligence; but as bad luck will havo ic, these are tho very ones to prove tho shrewdest, the most energetic ns well as tho most unreliable. How then can the city's affairs bo adminis tered ill tho Interest of the people) it I held by all people that the mayor is un honest man; but what can he do against 11 majority of the council. So Is Dingos held as n man of honest purpose; but bow effective can he lie 110 matter how hard he tries, when the men that should stand by him side with tho rogues! The excise board, tho police Judgb aud the Justices of the eaco seem to conspire with the law breakers, aud have been the main reliance of thoe men whom it was Dingus' duty to punish. Tho gamblers would long since have lieen In the Jail or p-ui, If the mayor mid Ids chief of police ha I h id their way, It is really too bad; aud what is the use of being an honest man mid mi liontxt ortlclal, If this sort of thing! to prevail) It is to be hoped that both Weir mid Dluges will not get discouraged; that thoy will keep up their efforts with Increased energy: this, mid tills nlouii will bring nlmut success. They tuny In' nssurud that the M.ople of Lincoln 1 ognrdlcs of pilltlcnl parties will stand by them nt all hazards.

The reason for tho ill success that has ut tended my effort to place our acquaintance 011 11 more confidential basis," he went on, "is, I apprehend, that I havo failed in some wuy to bring myself Into full nnd complete Hympnthy with the Idea mid piiriioscs that anliuntu and sustain you.
