A Democratic View.
The New York Sun, which without
a rival or a peer, stands at the head of
American Democratic journalism, in
ability, sagacity and wisdom, utters
these true and patriotic sentiments in
regard to the National Republican
ticket put in nomination at St. Louis.
“The Republic 1115 have nominated Mc-
Kinley, with a unanimity not expressed
for any successful new candidate, with
the exception of Fremont, the first Re-
publican candidate, in 1856, and Grant,
the third, in 1863. They alone were
nominated for a first term on the first
ballot.
“It is a shallow view which supposes”
that this extraordinary demonstration
has been a mere matter of_manipulation
and forehandedness in the minutes of
Igr‘vention politics. The fortune of a
11% has given him the unrivalled
prestige of representing. beiOT-ld, any
other Republican, the reverse of the
disastrous, aimless, and utterly un-
American politics of Grover Cleveland.
“What is the Democracy to do under
these extraordinary circumstances?
Thamepublican platform is for gold.
Elsie unassailable before the American
people. rIhe Republican platform is
for protection.
‘ ‘The Democrats must adhere indomi-
tably to the 1892 platform of a ‘tarifi' for
revenue only,’ or let the tariff sink out
of sight.
“The Democracy mutt purge and re-
, create itself, * c * * or all that Jeffer-
son labored for and all that his succes-
sors have achieved in the Democratic
name will be lost or credited to other
parties. And by just so long as the
need of this regeneration fails to be
recognized, the beginning of Demo-
cratic restoration will be delayed.”
Getting Water Under Difficulties.
Boston aspires to be a greater Boston
some day, and as a preliminary to the
annexation of some twenty-six sur-
roundingtowns is inaugurating a new
water syst;m which is to involve a'pros
pective expenditure of $19,000,000 for
which it is to secure a maximum sup-
ply of 300,000,000 gallons daily. The
scheme involes the construction of an
aqueduct forty miles long, two miles of
I which will be a tunnel through a hill of
solid rocks; a dam 120 feet thick at its
base, 168 feet high from bedrock and
1,250 long at high water line, forming a
lake eight and one-half miles in lenglh
and two miles wide at the widest part,
with an average of 46 feet although its
greatest depth will be 129 feet. The
capacity of this immense basin will be
63,oos,ooo,oio gallons, or twice that of
the largest Croton reservior.
The site of this mammoth reservoir
is to be at Clinton, where the Nashua
river flows through a narrow rocky
gorge on its Way to join the Merrimac
at Nashua, New Hampshire. The Nash-
ua has its source in the Wachuset
Mountain, and the water is therefore
naturally of the purest. Bnt'the stream
flows through a thicklyfpopulated in-
dustrial region, which will require an
expenditure of a half million for sewers
to dr-dn the villages lying w1thin the
Watershed. It. is also proposed to con-
structfilter beds to purify the water
that will be discharged into the stream
by the smaller tributaries. In addi-
tion there will be four villages, with an
aggregate population of 2,003 people,
which mustbe purchased outright, a:
the construction of the dam will leive
them at the buttom of the reservoir.
The s01l will also be stripped from the
bottom and sides of the basin to insure
greater purity:
Many of the important details of the
engineering features of the work are
necessarily omitted in this description,
but enough is furnished to indicate that
Boston proposes to have a copious sup-
ply of pure water, regardless of engin'
eeringldifliculties or expense, and to
secure it in advance of the proposed
consolidation of, the towns of Cam-
bridge, Lynn, Somerville, Chelsea,
Newton, Maiden, Waltham, Quincy,
Woburn, Brookline, Medford,’ Everett
Hyde Park, Melrose, Watertown, Wake-
field, Stoneham, Revere, Arlington,
Winchester, Milton, Saugns, Lexington,
Winthrop, Belmont and Nahant with
Boston to constitute the Greater Boston.
Whatever other obstacles may have to
be surmounted before consolidation can
be effected, the water supply is to be
made certain'in advance.
Apart from the question as to whether
consolidation will be a good thing for
Boston and towns to be included, a
copious supply of pure water available
for the use of the residents within the
present prescribed boundaries will cer-
tainly be a good thing, and the enter-
prise and foresight manifested by those
who have inaugurated the scheme are in
the highest degree commendable. If
our city ever becomes half. as enterpris-
ing we shall have an ideal water supply,
for the natural engineering difficulties
to be overcome are nothing to be com-
pared to Boston. we have plenty of
water flowingdown hill past our doors.
We only need to adopt some sensible
plan of storing, purifying and distribu-
ting it.

Blind
Sometimes persons become blind
fiom impu 1e blood, which develops
SCl ofulous ulcc1 s on the eyeballs, i1 itis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring .sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing the
Sore
eyes and restoring all the affected
parts to healthy condition. Read this:
“As an act of justice and for the ben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afflicted children, I write this. ‘About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the worst form and in a few weeks
Was entirely blind, being unable to tol-
erate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The best eye specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the
became w orse. I hen Itook her to a special-
ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came aw ay with a heavy heart.
I met my father‘s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a. half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,
396 goes to school. When she began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat
her meals in a darkened room, but now
Cu red
she is able to sit at the table with the
rest of the family.” MRS. OLLIE BUSER,
