TUB WATER WORKS.
DE&riTE the ncare caused last snmmer by the
insufficient supplies of water in the Fair
monnt basin, no adequate arrangements ap
pear to have yet been perfected for guarding
against a similar calamity this season. It is
true that something has been done. An ap
propriation was made after months of pro
crastination and debate which virtually con
sumed much precious time, and it has been
followed by an attempt to improve and en
large the Fairmonnt works by an additional
set of Turbine wheels. These wheels, how
ever, are not, at the present writing, all
finished and in position. The works
may be in a little better condition than they
were at the corresponding period of 18G!), but
they are not, by any means, fitted to meet an
emergency like that of last year. The Id
principle of relying exclusively at the Fair
mount works on water power has been ad
hered to, and while this continues, no matter
what may or may not be done with the
machinery, the citizens of Philadelphia will
continue to be, in a large degree, at the
mercy of freshets and drouths. The ex
perience of hundreds of business men has
taught them that, despite the economy of
water power, it cannot be relied upon where uni
form regularity of operations is required, and
thi3 regularity is an indispensible requisite in
any perfect or reliable project for supplying
a necessary of life to a million of people.
To-day three inches of water are running over
Fairmount dam, a week hence this supply
may dwindle down to nothing, while a
prolonged drouth will place Philadelphia in as
helpless a position as she was last year.
Councils Bhould not take their summer vaca
tion until they have thoroughly investigated
this whole subject and made ample provision
for every probable contingency. The true
thing to do, apparently, is to provide at once
for driving the pumps by steam if water-power
cannot be obtained, but if another or a better
plan equally certain can be devised, Councils
Bhould unhesitatingly adopt it.
MR. SHERMAN AND TIIE "BLOATED
BONDHOLDERS."
It is boldly asserted, and thus far without
any attempt at denial, that the chairman
of the Finance Committee in the
Senate is influenced in his action in
favor of the inoome tax by a fear
of local unpopularity in the State he repre
sents. If this be true, it Bhould not serve as
an argument in favor of the re-enactment of
that inquisitorial, demoralizing, and odious
tax, but should stand as one among many
other reasons that are daily accumulating an
to the unfitness of Mr. Sherman to serve at
the head of so important a committee. If the
vote of the Senators opposed to this ob
noxious law can be taken as a criterion of
the feeling in the States they represent, all
sections of our country would appear to be
opposed to this form of taxation. The
amount of the tax, if necessary to the national
credit which it is not will be freely paid in
some other form by the people. It is not
the amount of the tax that occasions such
wide-spread dissatisfaction. It is only the
character and the manner of collection and
the, injurious results of this tax that unite
against it so large a number of our intelligent
and patriotic men.
It is the argument of a demagogue, and a
very dangerous one, that the only persons op
posed to this law are the rich bondholders
of the Eastern States.
This charge is not only unjust as affecting
a class, but untrue in point of fact. The
opposition to this law does not arise from the
unwillingness of any class to pay its fair pro
portion of the national taxes, but from nearly
all classes and conditions of people, and for
many different and weighty reasons. The
newspaper press of the country, without re
gard to party predilections, is almost unani
mously against its re-enactment. Are Ame
rican editors and proprietors of newspapers
'bloated bondholders"? We think not. Mer
chants, manufacturers, tradespeople, and
business men, engaged in all our multifari
ous interests, are opposed to it. Are these
representatives of American interests "bloated
bondholders"? We opine not. Mr. Sher
man's insinuation on this subject is, there
fore, not only unworthy of him but in viola
tion of truth and the facts.
All classes of society and nearly all inte
rests in our country unite in opposition to
this tax
Because it is a palpable breach of public
faith to re-enact a law that was originally de
clared as only of a temporary character, as a
necessary war measure.
Because it is unjust as being a tax not
based upon capital, but upon fluctuating and
unreliable yearly returns from labor or busi
ness hazards.
Because unequal in its operations; taking
from all persons whose income is derived from
company bonds the full amount of the tax,
without giving them the exemption provided
for in the bill, thus nullifying its own pro
visions. Because it is demoralizing to the people,
offering a bribe to perjury, leaving honesty
to pay and dishonesty to evade the tax.
Because it is inquisitorial, humiliating, and
anti-republican in theory and operation.
In whatever aspect it is viewed, it presents
nothing to commend it to the consideration
of Representatives or people. It is odious
in principle, objectionable in its appli
cation, and demoralizing in its results. It
is not the voice of the "bloated bond
holders," as Mr. Sherman insinuates, that U
heard against it. It ia the voice of the Ameri
can people, representing almost all classen
and conditions and it had better be heede J.
TUB ENFORCEMENT OF THE HOME
STEAD LA WS.
Congcess never did a more praiseworthy
action than in the enactment of the Home
stead laws, by which the most liberal encou
ragement is given to actual settlers to occupy
and improve the immense stretch of territory
between the Mississippi river and the Pacific
Ocean. The effects of this policy are seen in
the rapid population and improvement of a
region that, but a few years ago, was nothing
but a wilderness, uninhabited except by rov
ing bands of savages and scaroely more civil
ized white trappers and hunters. The facili
ties offered by the Government, however,
have served to stimulate speculators in land,
as well as actual settlers for whose espe
cial benefit the Homestead laws
were devised. The consequence is that large
tracts of land have been taken up by those
who propose to hold until there is a chance to
sell at an enormous profit, and the proba
bilities are that in a very few years all the
unoccupied lands will be in. the bauds of men
who will do nothing for their improvement,
and who will effectually prevent legitimate
eettlers from deriving those benefits they are
entitled to under the law. Iu the State of
Missouri alone it is estimated that at least
1,000,000 acres have been entered at 12
cents by parties who have not complied with
the provisions of the law. Under a recent
decision made by the General Land Office at
Washington, all these lands will be declared
forfeited and will be thrown on the market
again unless proofs are made of settlement
and cultivation within sixty days of proper
notice. This action will be no real hardship
to actual settlers, while it will have the effect
of checking the operations of mere specula
tors. If the Homestead law is properly car
ried out, it will be possible'for every man in
the country who may desire it to obtain
enough land to secure by industry and thrift
a living and an independency for himself and
his family; and while it is the true policy to
act in the most liberal manner towards those
who propose to improve the land and bring it
under cultivation, it is the manifest duty of
the Government to throw as many obstacles
as is possible in the way of speculators who
are seeking to put up the price of land merely
for their own benefit.
Senator Cattell, of New Jersey, who has
ably and energetically opposed the income
tax, would have voted against it when the
question came p last week if he had not
been unavoidedly absent from tho Senate.
This fact was distinctly stated on the floor of
the Senate by Senator Cragin, an advocate of
the income tax, with whom Senator Cattell
bad paired. Mr. Cattell understood too well
the practical operations of the law to favor
it, and his familiarity with the customs and
feelings of commercial communities teaches
him at once how deeply it is detested and
how frequently it is evaded. The action of
the Senate yesterday fortunately decides the
fate of this infamous imposition forever. A
few of the Senators insisted on making ar
guments in favor of its retention in the tax
bill, despite the surrender of the Chairman of
the Finance Committee, but notwithstanding
the best logio that Howe and Drake could
muster for the delectation of rural oonstitu
ences, the income tax sections were struck
out without a division.
The most refreshing paragraph we have
read lately is the statement that eighteen hun
dred tons of ice were sold in New York on
Saturday, but the best efforts we can make
to gain a realizing sense of the vast amount
of refrigerating power concentrated in the
aforesaid eighteen hundred tons does not give
us material aid in keeping cool. Even the
thought of Arctio explorers, surrounded by
floes, dodging icebergs, or frozen fast amid
seas of solid ice, renders no substantial help
while the thermometer continues to be in
spired with the lofty ambition to get above
the nineties and turn a hundred. Ioe, ine
water, Iceland, and ice cream rise in popular
estimation as rapidly as the thermometer,
and the heat is too sweltering to be subdued
by any efforts to cool the imagination.
LORD CLARENDONS SUCCESSOR.
The name of Lord Clarendon's successor at the
head of the British Foreign Ofllce has not yet
been announced, but it Is more than likely that
the rumor of xrd Granville's appointment to
the vacancy, which reaches us by cable telegram
from London, will be confirmed in a few days.
He is certainly the most fitting man for the
position, and the one to whom the Liberal party
as well as their leader, Mr. Gladstone, will natu
rally turn In such an emergency as the present.
It therefore becomes a matter of interest to know
something about his career.
The Right Honorable Granville George Leve-eon-Gower,
K. G., second Earl Granville, eldest
son of the first Earl, was born on the 11th of
May, 1815, and educated at Eaton and Christ
Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in
1834. Like the late Earl of Clarendon, he began
life as a etudent of diplomacy, becoming an attache
to the British Embassy at Paris la 1835; but in
1830 be entered the House of Commons as mem
ber for the borough of Morpeth, being re-elected
in 1837. Early In 1840 ho was made Under Sec
retary of State for Foreign Affairs Lord Pal
merston being at the head of the Foreign Office
in the administration of Lord Melbourne,
shortly after which he transferred hU constitu
ency in the House of Commons to the borough
of Lichfield. For more than thirty years, there
fore, he baa had a share In the government of
the country either us a simple member of one of
the houses of Parliament or as a Minister of the
Crown. While a member of the House of Com
mons he acted cordially with the Liberal party,
and was especially devoted to the advocacy of
free trade.
In 1846, on the death of his father, he entered
the House of Lords, being appointed Vice-Pre-bident
of the Board of Trade in 1848, and In 1851
receiving a seat lu the Cabinet, succeeding
Lord Palmerston as Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs in December of that year, Lord
Russell being Premier at the time. The Liberal
Ministry, however, went out of power early in
1853. Previous to this time, he had also held
the positions of Master of the Buckhounds, Paymaster-General
of the Forces, Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, and Treasurer of the Navy.
In 1S53, he was appointed President of the
Council, aud in 1855 assumed the Liberal leader
ship lu the House of Loids, which position
he holds at the present .time. The Upper
House, as is well known, Is overwhelmingly
conservative, and his tasn has therefore been
one of. unusual difficulty. He has, even when
a Liberal Ministry, supported by an un
questioned majority in the Commons,
has been in power, been subject to the liability
of defeat at any moment on any measure that he
might introduce, and it has only been by the
possession of rare personal qualities, especially
a wonderful urbanity and never-falling graclous
ness of manner, that he has succeeded la dis
charging his duties with great tact and delicacy,
to the satisfaction of his foes not less than the
gratification of his friends. And he has achieved
this signal success without ever being credited
without extraordinary intellectual power, or
being regarded as one of the niaster-mluds of
the country.
In 1850, Ixrd Granville was sent to 8t.. Peters
burg on an extraordinary mission, as the special
representative of tho Queen on tho occasion of
the coronation of Alexander II. He went out
of office with Lord Palmerston 's first Ministry
in 1858, but In June of the following year he
was sent for by the Queen and entrusted with
forming a ministry, with himself at the head.
The ungracious refusal of Lord Russell to tnke
office under him, and that alone, was the cause
of his failure In getting a Cabinet together.
Lord Palmerston met with better success, and
Lord Granville entered his second Cabinet as
President of the Council, later in 1850, retiring
on the fall of Lord Russell's second administra
tion, in 1866. In November, 1803, he was called
to the present Liberal Cabinet by Mr. Gladstone,
as Secretary of State for the Colonies, and again
assumed the active duties of ministerial leader
of the House of Lords, in the face of an over
whelming opposition.
A few minor events in his career require
brief notice. In 1850 he acted as Vice-President
of the Royal Commission for the great exhibi
tion of that year, of which he was one of .the
most active working members; in 1800 he be
come chairman of the commission for the great
exhibition of 1802; and In December, 18(55, he
was made Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.

Arinnnd liarbra.
Armand Barbes, a noted French radical, died
yesterday in Paris, at the ago of sixty-one
years, lie was boru In 1810 at Pointe-a-Pitre.
Guadeloupe, and was brought to France when a
child, nis family owned an estate in the vicinity
of Carcassonne, and on the death of his father
he came into a handsome fortune and was sent
by his guardians to Paris to study law. On his
arrival In the capital he immediately became
intensely interested in politics, and was speedily
involved In a number of conspiracies against the
Government. When tho insurrection of 1831
broke out he was arrested as a member of the
Fociete des Droits Je V Homme, but tho authori
ties were not able to substantiate their charges
against him, and he was accordingly released
after an imprisonment of five months. While
In prison lie made many warm mends among
the poor people who were confined with him,
and laid the foundation for the popularity he
retained until the last day of his life.
In August, 1835, he was suspected of having
some knowledge of Fieschl's attempt to assassi
nate Louis Philippe, and was again arrested and
discharged for want of evidence to convict him.
The Government, however, considered him to
be a dangerous agitator, and determined to pro
cure his condemnation if possible, so he was
arrested in September of the same year on the
charge of illicitly manufacturing gunpowder,
and was sentenced to a year's Imprisonment. As
Boon as ho was at liberty he engaged la a new
conspiracy with August Blanqui, Martin Ber
nard, and other leaders of La Societe den Fa-
millet. The plans were so well arranged that
success was confidently expected, and on the
12th of May, 1830, one hundred armed men,
with Barbes at their head, made their
appearance in the streets of Paris
shouting "Vive la .repulUque T When the
insurrectionists reached the military post at
tached to the Conciergerie the soldiers endea
vored to resist them, but Lieutenant Droulueau,
the officer in command, was killed by a pistol
shot fired, it was said, by Barbes himself, and
the post was captured. By this time, however,
the authorities were fairly aroused, and troops
were summoned. The insurgents did not find
themselves supported as they expected by the
populace, and they were unable to construct
barricades before they were attacked. They
were soon overpowered, therefore, by a superior
force, and Barbes, who was wounded, was taken
piisoner. A few weeks after ho was tried before
a high court, consisting of the Chamber of
Peers, and was sentenced to death. The
courage, firmness, youth, and manly bearing of
Barbes excited much sympathy for him, and the
King, Louis Philippe, was induced to commute
his sentence to imprisonment for life, at the
personal intercession of his own son, the Duke
of Orleans.
The revolution of Febmary,184S, procured the
release of Barbes, and he was at once elected Col
onel of the 12th Legion of National Guards, at
Paris, and was sent to the Constitnent Assembly
as a representative of the department of Aude.
The moderate policy of the Assembly dissatis
fied him, and with Hubert and Raspall he
headed the insurrection of May 15, and endeavored
to organize a new government at the Hotel de
Vilie. He was arrested for this outbreak, and
was thrown into the dungeons of Vincennes. He
was tried before the High Court at Bourges, and
being found guilty was imprisoned at Mont St.
Michel, nere . he remained for six years, until
his release was procured through the
interest excited by a letter from him
published in. tho newspapers, in
which be praised in a most enthusiastic manner
the heroic deeds of the French army in the
Crimea. The Government offered him a pardon,
and on his refusing to accept it be was ejected
from the prison. He then went to Paris, where he
wrote a defiant letter expressing his sentiments
in very plain language, but as the Government
refused to arrest him he left the country and
resided for some time In Spain. A few years
ago he returned to France and took up his resi
dence in Paris, but of late took no active part in
politics.
Barbes was a perfect type of a French radical,
bold, generous, impetuous, and enthusiastic, but
utterly Impractical and unable to imagine how
reforms could be brought about except by revo
lution and conspiracy.

NOW DU TELL !
This elegant and not altogether unheard-of ex
pression was uttered by god old Mrs. Buggg the
othei day, on the occasion of Bugira coming home
in one of the Rockhlll Wilson Ten Dollar Sult9.
The dear old soul asked Buggs where he got them
and what he paid. He said, all In one breath,
uGoematrockhillaniwiUon)lanpaidtendollars!,,
"Say it again," said she. Again he said,
uGotematrockhillandoUsonsandpaidteldoUar8!',
"Now nu tell I" said the old lady. "Why I don't
believe there's any other living souls in the world
that can make clothes half so cheap as that." And
Mr. Buggs made Buggs turn himself round and
round, so that she might delight herself witb a full
view of the Ten Dollar clothes.
And the result was that Buggs went right down
that afternoon, and bought Ten Dollar Suits for all
his big boys.
The fact is, that thoBe Ten Dollar Suits are mak
ing a great stir in the community just now.
If you have not already bought, come and buy
now.
