For two weeks and moro the water
furnished the city by the city water works
has been of a character and kind that
justly deserves condcirnation from all
who are forced to use It for any purpose.
It is muddy , full of grit , and very little
belter than when it is pumped into the
Settling basins from iho river. The catuso
ofthis condition of the water is found in
the fact that the works are utterly inca
pable of meeting the demands of the city.
The responsibility for the htel : of capac
ity cannot justly be placed to the credit
of the present management , because
those who are at the head of affairs now
had nothing to do with the building of
the waterworks. The original projectors
of the works , had they forseen the rapid
growth of the cit3' , would doubtless have
secured sufllcicnt land to settle a suffi
cient supply. The moro water consumed ,
the greater is the room required for set
tling purposes , When the present man
agement took charge of the works last
September , the settling basins wcro of
three and one-half acres In extent , and
only capable of allowing the water from
the river to stand six or eight hours. The
demand for water has increased since
September to such an extent that the
basins will only permit of from
four to six hours settling ; whereas , to
provide the best results thu water should
stand from thirty-six to forty-eight
hours. When the present management
took hold of the works last September ,
they Wore not only confronted with Unit
dhlicultv , but others , among them thu
fact that owing to the growth and expan
sion of the city , a large amount of large
sfzcd pipe was required to be laid
throughout the city m order to keep up
the pressure required , and to supply the
water demanded. Accordingly , a very
largo amount of largo sized pipe lias
boon laid during the fast nine months.
ISew twenty-four inch mains for
pumping statipns , and twelve and
fourteen inch mains on numerous
streets , replacing . m many in
stances smaller p'pes which have
been thrown away. This pipe-laying has
involved.au expenditure of about § 170-
OOb , This enlargement of the pipes
Boomed to the management of the works
tobo ; very necessary , and the thing
which was to bo done first , as it was be
lieved absolutely essential to the safety
of the city. In addition to this it was
deemed necessary to provide a service
fpr the hilltops , which , when the works
were originally built , were not occupied
by residences , and tnereforo not consid
ered in the original contract. So to give
pressure to the hilltop hydrants , a now
pumping station was built and
put in operation nt the rcsor-
Vplr on Walnut hill. Adequate
pressure is now had where formerly the
water hardly ran from the hydrants.
While those improvements were desired ,
the most vital have been accomplished.
The improvement of the quality of the
water , by additional settling basins , has
not been lost sight of. It was found no
moro land could bo procured at the pres
ent pumping station , and the company
would have to look elsewhere for a situa
tion for a pump house where land
could bo obtained not only for
present needs , but for nil time.
The only place which possessed
all the requisite for the works was a site
at Florence , where a rook foundation
could bo secured for heavy machinery ,
and which will bo above all possible con
tamination by the soweraeo of the city
in the future. It was accordingly deter
mined to obtain the property at Flor
ence for that purpose , and part of it was
purchased , and stops wcro under way to
condemn the rock , when the minority of
the stockholders intervened by an in
junction suit to prevent the building
of any plant in Floronco. The
matter of condemnation was slow at
best , as there was 100 different claimants
to the land desired by the company ,
whose titles would have to bo satisfied
before it would bo safe to spend any
money. All trouble in the board now ,
1 however , bos been settled by thu pur
chase of thu stock hold by the minority ,
by the majority , and the work of buildIng -
Ing the now plant is progressing with
the utmost expedition. The now works
Are to bo very largo , and fully capable
m supplying all the needs of thu city ,
and to furnish the best quality
Of water obtainable from the
: Missouri river. Fifteen acres of settling
basins will bo provided to start with , with
'capacity of 30.000,000 gallons of water ,
ai'against the throe and a half acres as
'prrcured by the company in February
last. New pumping machinery of double
the capacity of the present pumps will bo
apt. A line of very largo pipe six miles
16ng will extend from Curaiug street to
the new pumping station , and the character -
actor and thoroughness of the work may
bo judged when it is known that this
pipe line alone will cost in the
Neighborhood of fUOO.OOO , and the total
expenditure , ? of thu new plant , including
this now line , will reach in the neighbor
hood of § 1,000.000. All this la a matter
of time , but the company hopes to have
K the now station in operation within a
year. It might have boon in operation
i somewhat sooner , but the company could
not give its orders for the plpo
necessary to the improvements until
thuy were sure of the means to pay
for the samo. Moro moans could
not bo raised , and the work of building
the plant proceeded with until the oppo
sition among the members of the com
pany was quieted , which has now been
done , as said before , by the purchase of
the kickers' stock by the majority of the
board. Until the now plant is finished
the company is doing the best it can to
supply as good a quality of water ns is
tiotsible under the circumstances.
? Tne"compauy has leased for two years
all the land obtainable near the present
" "jp house , and has fully occupied the
ie with now settling basing to servo
.til the new plant is finished , which
i _ , be about double the capacity pro-
rod last September. These now basins
WTpq turned into the mains to-day or
morrow. The city may then look for
[ tor water. A visit to the works of the
npany will convince any one that the
jftagcment is honestly putting forth
ery endeavor and making every effort
iieu skill can suggest and energy and
" " accomplish.

Treatment.
The Evening World was not on sale
yesterday afternoon. The reason there
for was a strike among the newsboys.
The grievance that the newsboys have
is that they have had the urico of the
sheet raised on them. Some time ago
the World was furnished to the news
boys at ono cent per copy. Recently the
rate was raised to ono and a half cents
per copy , and to induce tlio boys to ac
cede to the advance , a prize was offered
to the ono selling the greatest num
ber of papers , the second highest
also receiving a prize. The first
pri/.c was $15 and the second ? 10.
The newsboys accepted the new deal re
luctantly , and for a few clays sold the
papers. But they were making calcula
tions in the meantime. They found that
to win lirst prize the lucky boy would
have to sell fifty copies every day on an
average , and they held that the best rus
tler among their number could not reach
that number. If first prizt was won , it
didn't amount to much as the extra one-
half cent paid for the papers would
amount to the principal portion of the
sum. So , too , with second prize
scarcely any of the * 10 would be left.
Wherefore the shrewd venders agreed
that they were being "hogered , "
as they termed it. The boys
met in an alley near the odlce. Myron
Howe. Johnnie Limlsey , Fred. Sly and
Jack McCann were the speechmakcrs ,
and with youthful eloquence and persua
sion fired the newsboy heart with the
sense of the injustice that was boingdone
to them. They struck to a boy , and each
lad declared he will not sell a World
until they nro sold to him at the old price
of ono cent per copy.

Mr. Pclle'a Statement.
Tu the Editor of the BEE : 1 sec by the
ssuo of the BEE to-day , Saturday , July
3 , that I am accused of trying to obstruct
the work of the graders of Eleventh
street by having a shot gun and threaten
ing to shoot tlio carpenter that was sent
by Stuht and Hammel , the graders , to
brace the porch , all of which is false. I
braced the porch myself , and all I want
is that the graders will do mo. no unnec
essary injury. 1 am' an old settler and
have made valuable improvements not
only on Eleventh street but in different
parts of the city , and 1 am in favor of
public improvements for and on account
of the property of the whole city. The
unfortunate part of the whole matter is
that Mr. Stuht has a ( grudge against mo
and is therefore determined to annoy and
injure mo nil ho can in grading said
Eleventh street. All of the misrepresen
tations of my acts in the premises un
doubtedly comes through him , and I take
this mode to inform the public of the in
wardness of the caso. 1 am no crank ,
neither am I unreasonable , but when a
person is persecuted it is natural for
him to kick. Tnos. O. PELLE.

"It seems strange to mo to hear so
much uoise on the streets at night , " said
Mr. Davis , the stenographer of the Union
Pacllic commission to a BKE reporter the
other day. "There isn't nearly so much
in New York City- You can go along
the streets there at midnight for blocks
and blocks and meet nobody but police
men. "
"Yes , " said a citizen the other day ,
"it's a very common cause for remark
that the handsome high school tower
hasn't any clock in it. The white faces
without any hands moving across them
look very dismal indeed. The fact is ,
however , that this state of things is not
so much to bo wondered at. The trust
of the people of Omaha in respect to
that clock hus been cruelly betrayed.
When the high school building was first
put up it was the intention , of
course , to put a clock in the tower
but somehow they got the
building all completed and no clock was
put in. Then school was opened and
Mill no clock perched itself In the tower.
The thing ran along until peopio had.
about given up the idea of a clock and
reconciled themselves to the situation
when a stranger came along wlio pro
posed to uut in a magnificent time keeper
forfOOO. Ho was a stranger of most en
gaging manners , and seemed to enter
into thejprojcct with all the enthusiasm
of a man who had lived m Omaha
twenty-five years. Ho started out with a
subscription paper and visited a largo
number of loading citizens to whom ho
pointed out in eloquent terms the humil
iation the city was subject to on account
of the big clockless tower on the high
school buildings. The 1. c.'s came down
liberally and the patriotic stranger soou
had $500 collected. Tlicu ho suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared , and has
disappeared and has never returned so
far as anybody knows. This of course ,
acted like n wet blanket on the clock
question and nobody has had the heart
to agitated iho subject since. "
A NEW CHUKOH.
That of St. Wcnceslaus to bo Dedi
cated This Morning.
The Bohemian Catholics of our city
will have a great celebration this morn
ing , when their new church on South
Fourteenth street will bo dedicated. For
mno years they have held their services
at the old land mark on Thirteenth
street , near Williams. About a year and
a half ago they concluded to build a new
jouso of worship that would bo a credit
to them. It is now finished.
There are about nine hundred Bohe
mian families in the city , of whom about
one-half are members of the Catholic
church. They have seven Catholic so
cieties , three benevolent ones , with a
membership of about two hundred ; ono
society of knights ( uniformed ) with twen
ty-live members , and three ladles' so
cieties with about ono hundred members.
Tlio first efforts toward organizing the
Bohemian Catholics into a church so
ciety were madu by Rov. Father Kocamik
nine years ago , who was called hero for
that pnrposo by Bishop O'Connor. At
that time there was but a handful of Bo-
homiani Catholics m the city , and they
were unable to build and- sustain a
church , but thu bishop has looked for
ward , and to keep them together has ad
vanced funds toward buying the prop
erly , which for years hus been used by
the church.
By the efforts of Rov. Kooamik the
flock of the faithful has been kept well
together , but until recently circum
stances did not allow any effort towards
procuring a more imposing place of wor
ship. The Bohemian population , how
ever , has increased and so have the Cath
olics in numbers. The old church became -
came too small for the congregation , es
pecially after the present priest , Rev.
Father Choka , took charge about two
years ago.
The Bohemian Catholics of this ntr are
very fortunate in securing the services
of this eminent priest. Ho had labored
in tbo vineyard of Christ in Chicago for
several years previously , and is now con-
sidorcd ono of the foremost in the Bohc
mian priesthood , being a thorough the
ologian , a forcible speaker and an admirable
mirablo gentleman.
Tnrough his efforts Bishop O'Connor
consented to sell the old church property
and apply the proceeds towards putting
up the present imposing structure.
Accordingly the old property TOS sold
and a lot was bought on South Four
teenth street , near Hickory , 125x105 feet.
Preparations were at once made towards
the erection of a now church. A contract
was closed for a building of 50x845 feet , a
parochial school 24x50 and a dwelling
24x40 feet fo. the priest. All the building *
are now finished , at a cost of over S13-
000. Part of the cost was paid by the
proceeds of the sale of the old church ,
the balance by subscription.
Members of the church of cours * feel
Jubilant at their now place of worship
and are making great efforts to render
to-morrow the most memorable day in
the history of their church in this city.
Many Catholic organization * throughout
the state will participate in the celebra
tion. Bohemian Catholic societies from
Wahoo , PlatUmouth , Weston , Cedar
Hill , Plagi , Brainard and Alio will bo

A Valuable Statistical Work.
There are numerous statistical works ,
but those of a thoroughly comprehensive
character , and at the sumo time entirely
trustworthy , are few. . McCarty's An
nual Statistician , issued'in March of each
year , is ono among the few' . The editor
and proprietor of this 'work , Mr. L. P.
McCarthy , has been engaged in this sort
of labor for fourteen years , and having
made statistics the study of almost a life
time , has mastered it in nil its details.
The extent and proficiency of his
knowledge are very thoroughly exempli
fied in the Annual Statistician , which in
all the essential requirements of such a
work , as comprehensiveness , ' thorough
ness , and trustworthiness , is certainly
unequalled in this country and without a
superior in any other. No mere summary
of the information to bo obtained from
the 080 pages of this work * covering the
.universal field of such facts as properly
belong to such a publication.would gi vo an
adequate idea of is { character and worth.
There is hardly . .any class of people to
whom it. would not be of moro or less
service'and to professional and business
men it will bo found almost invaluable.

his old post counting the gold and silver
of would-be depositors. Ho remarked tea
a reporter that he did not like to have
his good fortune talked all over the coun
try , but that it would bo unjust to the
company to deny receiving the money.
"Yes , " said lie , " 1 rtccived the money
through the express office , and it made a
package about two feet Jong. " When
the money came , Mr. Wasserman who is
of a modest turn of mind , made the ex
press men promise to say nothing about
it , but thirty thousand dollars was too
big a sum to bo kept in the dark , and before -
fore night it was known at all the banks
and had soon spread all over town. Ho
has drawn small prizes previous to this ,
but the last haul was the best.

The Solution of the Imbnr Problem * .
Professor R. T.Ely , in Harper's Maga
zine for July : The best thinkers on eco
nomic topics seem to bo moro nearly
unanimous than ever before in the opinion
that co-operation is to be the ulitmato so
lution of the industrial problems of our
day. This view was held , it is well
known , by the Christian socialists of
England thirty-live years ago.and at that
time they had mapped out pretty clearly
the form of co-oporatlon which they
thought future societies would adopt.
Among them wire somoof the most
giftodTtaelishmen of , the century , who.
&AYO domon8U l d long go that they
were not moro visionaries , but that , oa '
thu contrary , they far excelled in practi 41
cal wisdom their detractors. Many of
these early Christian socialists , now old
men , after a life rich in experience , still
maintain their former opinion about co
operation. Mr. Thomas Hughes , for example -
ample , writes : "I still look to this move
ment as the best hope for England and
other lands. "
John Stuart Mill frequently gave ex
pression to homowhat similar views , al
though ho doubtless held that public au
thority would play a more important
rolu in future industrial society than did
the Christian socialists. Ho sympathized
at any rate in his later days to greater
extent with the slate socialists of thu con
tinent. Perhaps the result of recent
studies in economics is the best given by
Prof. Henry C. Adams m these words :
"Tho co-operative principle is the ono to
which the wages system must give way ;
but what particular from industrial or
ganization will take no ono can say. "
The world has over been restless' under
any social system which tolerated a sep
aration of labor and capitaljfor although
the things for which these words stand
may , as thn trite saying has it , bo allies ,
not enemies , the same has not always
been true of those who furnish capital
and labor : nor can any honest man say
that their interests are precisely identical.
The point of divergence of interests is so
sharp , and the ultimate separation so
wide , as to give a good deal of support to
the doctrine that their enmity lies in the
nature of things. They have not always
been so separated as they are to-day. In
the middle ages production was carried
on under the iruidanco of men who
owned their tools , and employed them
with their own hands. Capital was not
an important separate factor , for it was ,
as a rule , united with labor m
ownership. Still earlier , and also
still later , wo have filavory , which
united labor and capital in the same
hands , namely , the hands of the master ,
who owned labor precisely as ho owneu
capital. Both were chattels. The argu
ments urged for this union by the ablest
advocates of slavery were powerful.
Again and again they pointed out the
impossibility of permanently harmonious
social relations should labor and capital
bo supplied by two distinct industrial
classes. They never wcro satisfactorily
answered on this point. But their con
clusions wcro nevertheless unwarranted.
The first stage in the evolution of indus
trial society finds labor and capital united
and the stage of evolution to which wo
must come will also witness their union ,
but there will bo this radical difference ;
in the ono period of evolution they are
united in the hands of the capitalists ;
in the other , they will bo found in the
hands of the laborers.
As John Stuart Mill says , this must bo
brought about by a development of the
partnership principle. No one , as al
ready stated , can tell exactly what form
this will take , but some things scorn al
ready clear. Corporations will play an
important part in tins development , ns
they gradually become more democratic
in their tendencies. Corporations and
co-operativo enterprises will bccomo
more and moro nearly assimilated until
they can scarcely be distinguished.
President Francis A. Walker , in his
treatise on political economy , dwells on
the importance of industral leadership ,
and believes that co-operative enterprises
have not a great future because the cap
tains of industry are not in tholr employ.
Every word which ho says about trio im
portance of the services rendered by the
leaders of the economic world is true ,
but there are other things which ho over
looks : First , the power of per
fect organization , which is daily
becoming moro apparent in every domain
of life , and which is now achieving
triumphs remarkable beyond precedent.
The second is the fact that the captains
of industry will yet bo found at the head
of co-operativo enterprises. It was tliut
kind of co-operation which wo find in
corporations which lirst gave them their
present position which , it may almost
bo said , iiret called them into existence.
When corporations became more truly
co-operative with respect to the labor
element , the captains of industry will not
disappear.
Some have advocated a total suppress
ion of corporations ; but. even were this
possibln , it is plain that it would be a
retrograde movement. There is , for
tunately , a conservative middle ground
between the radicalism which would
sweep away these useful industrial forms
ana the equally dangerous obstinacy
which rejects all suggestions of change.
The arguments advanced by the enemies
of corporations must convince ) any fair-
minded man that there are evils insepara
bly connected with corporations ns they
exist to-day in the United States , but an
analysis of these arguments reveals the
fact that they do not apply equally to all
classes of corporations.
