Last Satuiduy wbilo the wind was blowing up the street at u rate of fifty miles an hour every person one met, consciously or uncoil sclo'isly made face. We are confi dent that the ill feeling displayed was inspired by that unholy wind and not by any repugnance of the person met. "Wo never speak as we pass by" seem ed to be theprevailiugopinion. There is one consolation, house cleaning will be posponed until after the April showers anyway. The dlscussiotiof the water question brings to mind the apparctit neglect of our water works system which has prevailed over sinco the electric light plant was established As far as we can see very little attention is paid to the water works department. An ad ministration which has the ability to place the elect lie light department on a systematic basis ought to have the ability to systematize u smaller in dustry. Does the city receivo pay for every gallon of wator pumped'.' Un der present conditions theru is no means of answering that question intelligently. Without a meter show ing how much is pumped no check on the wator used is possible. Again water commissioners all complain that most of the customers1 moters aro not In repair and hence the amount of wuter used must bo guessed at. This is all wrong. The city should own every meter and keep them all in re pair then wo will be assured of receiv ing all that is coming to us and no more. In 189.'$ according to the re cords tho entire cost of the water works including salaries, coal uud re pairs were $l.iir..12. l'ocsibly our water income is at pre sent in excess of that amount but does the city receivo pay for all water pump ed? We boliovo that more attention should bo paid to this department of our municipal niraiifi. We trust that the next report of city finances will be broad enough and definato enough to show where the water works de partment stands. F.

HALE l'UUMBIIKH THIi ONLY DKMOCUATIU l'Al'KU WKHSTKIt COUNTY IN Wc have heard some talks on the troet in regard to tho formation of u Civic Longuu. This meets with our hearty Indorsement. A league of that character would provo to bo of great benefit and would unquestionably pro duce excellent rosults in tho course of ten years. Therein plenty of woilc for huuIi an organization. Wo need a park, a library, a gymnasium, a sewer age system, ii debating socioty, a town meeting, a progressive booster olnb and tho goodness luiows what. Orgnnizo, gentlemen, and got busy. Itcd Cloud is forging to the front ami theso enterprises ought to find a placo in our midst. All of these things can not be brought about in a day but they can all bo realities within a de cade. Homo of the youngsters should jump into the game and put a should c:r to tho wheol. Some clay they will delight in telling their grand children nbout the beauties and comforts they lielpcd to make possible. Isn't it about time to begin preparat ions for the old settlers' picnic'.' No ono looks forward with moro plcnsurc to occasions of this character than tne old settlers themselves. Wc do not know who has tho matter in charge but we would suggest that Brothers Qllham and Hummel prepare a pro gram and seo that it ib carried out. Western Nebraska is e-alninu inn. siderable notoriety owing to tho re cent activities of Congressman Norris, Representative from this district. Papers and magazluos all over the country aro full of his doings and most of them contain his picture. Norris of McC'ook is tho man of the hour. Ho is to bo commonded for tho magnificent manner in which he mar hhallod the forces of tho insurgents and domocrats against thu well in trenched system. Hu struck fhe money power a fearful blow and gain ed a signal victory for tho people. In falling to depose Speaker Cannon when the opportunity presentodltsolf, however, lie showed a weakness which casts a shadow over his apparent great ness. Ity this act ho revealed the fact that he Is not a man of the highest callbro. When he had Cannon on the run the thing to do was to chase him clear out or ollii'o and do away with him for good. Anything less was a weakness. Principle should always bo above piuty. In regard to that water question again it seems that it were time to settlo once and forever the theorv that enlarging the present pipes or extonding the present pipe lines will bring moro water. This city has dreamed about a gieat supply of water being hidden somewhero beneath the surface of the ground and lias .spent untold dollars in trying to bring dreams to puss and the result has always been a failure. For our part wo can not conceive of a snoni-e holding more than a sponge full of water no matter ulieio it is tapped and that sand bottom is just like a sponge. Councils heretofore liae utteily disregarded tho plain pio visions of the law and have expended the city's funds without any shadow of a legal right and it is time that that kind of pioceednre be abandoned. No private citizen has any conception as to what a UOO ft. extension would cost and it would seem as tho the city's otlleers would hesitato to undertake a project whoso ultimate cost was un determinable. Let no work be performed unless by contract. Laws aro made for the protection of people and laws should be obeyed by those whoso sworn duty, it is to uphold those laws. There nro two propositions entertained by mauy elthor of which seem to offer a solution of this water problom. Oue is to plpo the Maurer springs and there aro mauy advantages to be received from this course. In the ilrst placo It would insure plenty of pure wator, it could bo made to flow directly into tho mains and supply two thirds of our patrons thus having all pumping oxpouses. The wells would supply those in northern and northwestern portions of tho city. Mr. Maurer of fers to sell ten acres for 81000 and we boliovc the sum to be very reasonable. The other proposition, and tho ono which wc personally advocate is a doop well. By a deep well wo mean bolow the bluo shale and on down to whero there is good water. We be lieve that practical well men can be found who would guarantee plenty of good water for a reasonable amount of money. No water, no pay. If an artesian well were found so much the bottor. This would likewlso save pumping expenses. What ever plan 1b porsucd wo boliovo that our eitizons will not tolorate any plan which calls for the expenditure of public money oxcopt in accordance with a bona lido contract. Tlioio liavo boon experi ments enough. Let us got down to business. Before buying your laces, embroid eries and wash goods look our line over, know we can save you money.
