forces aS constant those which impel the platieta in their orbits The powers which lie back ot the great changes of human history cannot be reduced to tne categories There are elements of national progress which can neither be drawn from the soil nor analyzed in crucibles nor ex tracted from sunbeams nor painted upon the skies In arriving at a just interpretation of history we are compelled to ascend to the realms of the mind If we would understand properly the great events of history: we must pflsfl beyond those minor circumstances which serve ss their occasion and not as their cause and study great men as the embodiment of the thought and spirit of their ago It would seem that as much thought has been expended on the question Con stitutes National Greatness ought long since to have answered it definitely But we find each nation answering this question for itself lf onr inquiries into early times we will find that the great object of some races dm been tho realisation of material greatness This however has not been the only nor the cliiti ideal of nations Scarcely hasa fraction of hunianity been brought to gether ere the banner is unfurled and the worwhip of material greatness is eclipsed by tlie idolatry of hrute force Many a people seem to have believed that in order to fulfill the true conditions of national honor and Assure for itself a place in history its infancy nxed

retard it The evils arising from the struggles for mili tary glory are not confined to the field of bat tle It permeates the very vitals and poisons the life blood of a nation It calls alike the laborer from his plow and the student from his books But it does more than this It inculcates opposition to civil law It leads to the worship of force Closely allied to the love of military glory is the love of gold The idea of wealth baa not been wanting to any country It ho laid at the foundation of some at least of the greatest enterprises on record But it needs no stronger argu the history of

true national progress We have been told that moral issues stop with the individual that a nation knows no other logic than that of self interest But it is not true It is an in sult to national honor Moral questions are inextricably blended in a progress And these forces are worthy of our study We live in an ago of peculiar interest The elements of true civilization have met Happy are we it amid

iwfcant I notice a report of tbe Committee on Water Supply to tbe Water Board and by the Secretary transmitted to the Common Council This report under the circumstances seems to me to be rather a cheeky affair Three reasons are given neither of which seems to be of much weight The more important reasons seem to ba protection and pure water 1 would like to ask those gentlemen how they reconcile thia report with the plan which they (aopactally the chairman of the com mittee) have been urging aad talking np for a long tisn and which has I understand tpen adopteHjtraut WM psnstisai 4UU ferenee cnere in the working of the sys tems The Holly system would give us wa ter in abundance direct from the river with all ita impurities when the engines are at work but no head or force when the engines are at rest The system that has been adopt ed by ths Water Commissioners aaa which hM been I pet measure of Mr Hurlbut chair man of this committee (now President of tbe Board) practically give us the same result Neither of these systems give us that pro tectioa aad pure water that we should have if the Commissioners would tiirntheirsttention and expend their resources in erecting a large reservoir in connection with the present one giving ia a large reserve and a continuous head in case of any accident to the machinery affording a full supply of water in case of a large coifliagration The cost of the reservoirs would be little more than to put in a single main which is contemplated the present year running from the pumping works to Casa street where it crosses Michigan avenue Again as a question of economy the reservoir system hM every argument in its favor With these reservoirs completed and once filled the new engine (if it accomplishes what was claimed for it) will be able to pump a foil supply of water for the city if worked twelve hours out ot the twenty four requiring but one set of men Tbe system adopted if we 'have continuous protection the engine must be kept running the full twenty four hours requiring two seta of men and consuming double tbe quantity of fuel WEST END HOTEL ARRIVAL At the election for officers of the Students Lecture Association Tuesday evening the
