PHILLIPS AND EMERSON ,
The Coincidence of their Recent
Addresses to Boston Audi
ences Gives an Excel
lent Opportunity
For Comparkg I no TITO iu 1'oints of
Sliarply-Morked Difference.
Boaoa corrof pondonco Chicago Tiibana.
Maisacbusetis has two men , now
ihrea score and teu in years , bu
with intellect as clear uud strong a
ever , whom Boston from dillereu
points of view always delights t
nonor. One is Wendell Phillips
! he other is Ralph WaldohJoieruon
Eiuii has his own sat of followers
but each has always a crowd whenever
over he epsaks. They are charac
teristio New England men , and
whatever may bo their nations :
reputation , tuey never seem more
at home than when speaking to t
characteristic Boston audience. I
has just happened that they have
spoken within 24 houra of one anoth
er , on essentially the same sub
ject , In this city , and the coincidence
gives such an excellent opportucity
for comparing tha two in pplnts o
faharpiy-marked difference , that J
cannot but think that eush a com-
pariaon will interest your renders ,
Mr. Phillips lectured ou Buudav
afternoon before the Free Keligious
Association Here he waa at home.
His audience welcomed the freest
statement of hia opinions whether
in politics or religion. To me the
interest of the occasion was the man
itself. It is not often that you can
hear him now , aud the arch enemy
may soon take him hence. Ho is
almost as much of a monument
of other days as his intimate
friend and co-worker , Will
iam liloyd Ganlson , who ie now a
hale aud brisk old gentleman , liv
ing ou borrowed time , and feeling
that he has done good work for his
generation. Etit his eye is not yet
dim , nor has that peculiar power
which he learned forty years ago
while stumping New .England in
tue slavery agitation , departed from
him. With waistcoat buttoned , a
man of more than the average size ,
his presence commanding though
not imposing , he stood for an hour
before a thousand people , holding
their closest attention , never for a
moment hesitating for a word , nev
er taking his eye oil the people , eel
dom rising in his speech beyond
the colloquial freedom of good con
versation.
He' spoke slowly , suggesting re
serve strength , aud confined
his gesture * mainly to his
right . hand , and very free ,
ly to the use -of the extended
forefinger , but there was such dig
nity , just that remove from the au
dience which taught that , while he
was one of them , he was yet their
teacher in his speech and in his
method , that his discourse seemed
ike the utterance of a master spirit ,
ind the charm of his manner was
jot more marked than the choice
ind simple English which he used ,
) r the vigor and clearness ot his
deas. Once or twice he got hisses ,
IB when he turned bitterly on New
England for disloyalty to the ureat
American idea , but it was Sunday ,
ind he withheld himself from a
iharacteriatic reply.
Mr. Emerson to-day , was almost
he opposite of Mr. Poilllps yester- Ii
lay. Not in auy aensa au orator , a IiIs
all , slender figure now a o
lit e * bent with yearn , his gray
mir straggling over a crown parti-
tliy bald , his features nioro tharply
ut than ever , his manner as coy
ind bashful as that of a maiden en-
enng society for the flwt time , his
yea as sharp on his audience as
ver and hardly dimmed , he stood
o-day in the Old South Church
iefore an audience of from 1COO , to
,500 , in singular harmony with the
( evolutionary relics around him.
? he feeliusr that it might be Ralph
Valdo Emerson's last public ap-
earance had no doubt quickened
aany to come , but it Is no slight
ribute to the respect aud affection
rhich Boston fuels for perhaps her
reatcst genius that so large a num-
er of people gathered out of her
iiisy streets to hear what the Con-
ord philosopher had to say on "The
ei
future of the Republic. " Mr. Erner. 01
on is no orator , aud , apart from 5 ;
tie delight which all educated peo-
at
le have in the welcome surprises atA
f his discourse , there is now but A
ttle charm in his delivery. Ouce
it
is very bashfuluefld and hesitation , ita
Iviug you the feeling tnat he re-
ered his own thought and felt him- a ;
3lf to be nothing , was the spel VI
rhich held his audience , but now VIw

the man in Massachusetts who
a preserved his individuality with m ;
eatest care might not be seen in
iblio again. Only those who ho
tow his many infirmities can un- bit
retand how much it cost him ( and go
9 friends ) to appear in public at otl
; but It Is a source of gratification
at hla lecture , which was appar- es
tly freshly writtenshowsnodim- to
ution of his crisp and vigorous th <
ought. thi
In comparing Phillips and Emer-
cat
Q , you compare-the Aristotelian
th the Platonist. Both lectured tbi
the future of tne country , and pa ;
th urged that the
people made ar
B country but Mr.
; Phillips rapped wL
jw England right and left , because
felt that its prers and statesmen pri
d shown distrust in the free vote paj
every man , became of its abase i t.
In the cities , and charged their cor
ruptions whcro it belongs , with a
severely which showed distrust and
hate ; the other held the same views ,
alluded to the same things , felt the
abuse just as keenly , but spoke in
terms which indicated hope and
good cheer aud the belief this coun.
try is "the great charity ot God for
the human race. "
Mr. Emerson made you feel that ,
though American was proviucial ,
'an Immense Halifax , " too much
under the dominion of European in
fluence , we had the resouores for
the future and should be able to
show that each man has a reason
for being m the world. Mr. Phil
lips pleaded for the same ideas , but
with such constant thrusts at what
he did not approve of , and such"
sharp words on current political
issues , that the ideal glow was lost
in the practical discussion of facts
In short there was Just the differ
ence which exists betwean the ideal.
1st who speaka for to-day and for to
morrow , and for the practical man
of affairs wno plans wisely for to.
d y. With all hie Immense strength
and with His true and real sympathy
for the masses , Mr. Phillips loses
immensely by his despondent view
of the present situation and by his
indulgence in sarcasm and person-
'
a'itiea. .
On the other hand , Mr.- Emerson
never more truly descended" of
the cloudo than he did to-day. He
epok words which , when they are
circulated broadcast , will reverberate -
ate througn the nation , which Will
set men a thinking , and which will
turn hearts in gratitude to the one
who spoke them. Both men are
citizens whom no State should fail
to be i.roud of , but the greatest orator
tor takes thesecoud place when the
poet-philoopher gives his ripest
words on the points which are to
shape the destiny of America. Mr.
Emerson keeps wonderfully near to
facts for a man who has all his life
looked Into the mystyries beyond
the clouds , and showed to day that
the intuitions of common sense and
a clear judgement in 'practical af
fairs were united with the higher
gifts which make him the most
original miud which America has
produced. J. H. W.

DENVER WATER-WORKS ,
What They'Cost , md How They
Operate.
Suggestions for Omaha' by a Former
Resident.
Correspondence of ikeEn ,
DENVER , Col. , March 1,1878.
The city of Omaha'in her rapid
growth , will bo compelled to pro
vide a better water supply than aue
Is now fav.ore.1 wittr'l When but a
ecatteriug village , as.it was but a
short time back , the wells and cis
terns gave a bountiful supply of
Rood water , but in her rapid growth
cisterns are injured from the large
deposit of emoks , and the wells are
impregnated with sewage , and
will in time , if it has not already
been , be the cause of disease.and
death.
.Pure water is not only a luxury ,
but a decided necessity for the
health of a city.
Again , the protection from fire
will in time driv * your city to the _
creation of wulen wojks ; , or the
adoption of some ine-ius of supply
greater than id possible under tha
present system.
I baye no plan to oiler , but an in-
tereating visit to the Douvor water
works , and through their reports ,
and information from the chief en
gineer , Mr. P. U. Allen , I am in
possession of some facts that may
be of interest to your cltizans. Near
the South Platte river are located
some large wells. These wells , ow
ing to the slope of the country , re
main filled to a point several feet
above the level of the river surface.
The water rises in the wells
through the.coarae sand and gravel ,
and being from melting snows , is
cool , soft and clear. Holly engines
und pumpa force the water through
the mains and service pipes to all
parts of the city. Kiet in is kept at
a pressure of 701b * per square Inch ,
and water in the mains show a like
pressure. An automatic governor
regulates the speed of the engine , so
* 8 to maintain an even pressure in
the water 'pipes at all hours. As
the consumption of water varies to
i great extent , so the speed of the
jneines vary from fifteen to 100 rev-
) lutions per minute.
Organized as a stock company in
1870 , with a capital stock of $250,000 ,
work was begun , and we find the
lompauy now with good work ? ,
19 mines of mains , ranging from 15
nches down to 2 inches , 159 by-
Iranta for fire , and 1,000 taps of
Torn 1 } to 2 inches , for supplying
he buildings. The highest point
cached above the works is 125 feet
Chey supply the city with from 600-
108 to 1,700,000 gallons per day , and
he capacity of the works is 5,000-
100 gallons per diem.
In granting the charter a contract
entered into by which the city
he hydrants or ( ire plugs for seven-
een years , for the purpose of put-
ing out fires and washing out gut-
ers , for which the city pay an an-
IUB ! sum of twenty thousand dol-
ars (120,000. )
This Is not a severe tax , with a
> opulation now of 25,000 , ana rap-
Jly increasing.
Water rents for residences usually
ange from $5 to $10 , or $15 , in pro
iortloa . .to the number of
oorne , ana * " " " where metres
re used the price Ms from three
3 nix cents for one hundred gallons
sed the greater quantity costing
jss in proportion. The year ending
ct. 31st 1877 , shows :
Receipts 150,046 33
Expenditures 43,978.92
fain 6,067,40
This is the first year that they
ave come out ahead , and from this
u , the profits will increase from
ear to year , and will become a good
aying investment to the owners.
The works arc adequate for all
emands upon them now , and are
isceptible of increase as the de-
lands require.
The citizens of Denver are great-
r favored with such good works
ad pure water. J. At. Q.
