THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: THE EVENING STAK bas the fullest Local Circulation of ewspaper in the World, and as an AdveFtising Medium is worth more than ail the other papers published in Washington. New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. On the purity of « city's water supply de- pends the health of its inhabitants, just as on its salubrity in @ large meaaure depends the prosperity of ac American cities have suf- fered much from impure water, especially those situated upon rivera, Plymouth, Pa, and Shreveport, La, are two cases in point Cum- berland, Md., is a still more recent case and one that touches Washingtou more closely than wny other. Cumberland is situated upon the upper Potom in @ valley, with precipitous mountains on all sides, The facts concerning itare discussed im the current aumber of the Medical News. The conditions are favorable, according to medical authority, for the propa- gation and spread of disease, since there are bad surface drainage and an excessive rainfall supplemented by a disregard of the plainest rales of sanitation. A number of small creeks empty into the river, and into these the unmentionable refuse of the town freely enters. A large garbage lot im- mediately adjoins the pump-station of the city water works, which are only two hundred feet below two unsightly and disgustingruns. A little below the pump is a dam in the river, which is bere only about two hundred feet wide, Theeffect of the arrangement is to pump the sewage of the city back into the city as a water supply. Here are all the condi- tions for the development of typhoid fever. A case of the fever developed on one of the rans and soon the germs of this disease found their way into the city supply and an outbreak of the fever followed. The mortality has been ten per cent, and the character of the disease severe. What happened there will happen anywhere else along the river where similar conditions are permitted to prevail, Such cases attract attention to the danger that always exists from pollution of streams from which the water supplies of towns and cities are drawn, and the warning from our neighbor on the Potomac is the more direct to other Potomac river towns, even though the source of pollution considered be so distant that the river purifies itself in the interval. It 3s incumbent upon the health authorities every- where on the river to inspect closely and con- stantly the water-works and the general con- dition above the water-works, to see that no impurities enter the main stream or its tribu- taries, to provide for an efficient drainage, for a disinfection of unclean places. and for the prompt abatement of all nuisances. It is too late to do these things after the typhoid germs have been formed and planted. It is wise to be on guard and to prevent the rise of disease. ——— Se Gen. Boynton’s proposition that the Society of the Army of the Cumberland erect a statue to the late Samuel J. Randali, the private soldier upon whose recommendation Col. Geo. H. Thomas was made brigadier general, is worthy of commendation and of speedy accom- plishment, not oniy as a memorial to the man Dut as an enduring and peculiar honor to the private soldier, of all armies, who, by his dis- cernment and promptness, may, not less than by his bravery, render invaluable service to his country. But it may be questioned whether the erection of the memorial should be limited to this society, and whether the statue should be equestrian. Mr. Randall's greatest services to the country were rendered by him as a civihan, and there will be a certain incongruity. requiring constant explanation, in perpetuating him only as a soldier mounted on a horse. $$$ --e—_____ Whetber or not the people of the United States desire a large access to population from abroad it is pretty evident from the immigrant returns of the first three months of this year that 1890 is going to be one of the most no- table immigration years in all our national history. So far the figures show nearly one- third more arrivals than those of 1389, and the April returns will show a further proportionate increase. The largest immigration on record was in 1552, when it was 000. It was 444,500 last year. It is now stated that the superin- tendent at Castle Garden says that it is not improbable that the record of 1882 will be equalled if not surpassed. The uneasy feeling abroad causes many persons to look with long- ing eyes to these shores and to turn longing into realization. It is our business to cause assimilation to follow close upon the heeis of immigration. ——<——— It is an interesting point in American history if, as stated, the Confederate gray uniform was borrowed from tke First Virginia Regiment which borrowed it from the Seventh New York Regiment. The Confederate song, ~Dixie,” was of Northern authorship. Some historians aver that the South adopted the doctrine of secession from New England. ——— The labor men under the lead of Mr. Pow- derly are investigating the prison ring of New Jersey, composed of members of both the great national parties. The principal keeper is a democrat, the supervisor a republican. No legislature, it is stated, has dared to attack this powerful combination. The charges re- late chiefly to violations of the law relating to the employment of convicts and the stamping of goods. If there is anything wrong in the administration of the law the public will sus- tain the investigation, and even the strong suspicion of wrong-doing justifies this investi- gation. ——— ee The German emperor's stern melancholy and endless flitting to and fro are accounted for in some quarters by the breaking out of his old scrofulous malady and the certainty that he cannot many yearsretain life or sanity. Ger- aaany, with her free traditions, her sterling population and her advanced culture will not Jong abide this succession of short-lived sover- eigns. Some of the present generation will probably see the German people crown them- selves with absolute sovereignty. = May 15 is the date of the meeting of the Presbyterian General Assembly (North) for the consideration of the great question of revision of creed That church has never faced a more momentous proposition for change since the dissolution of the ties which bound the South- ern wing to the general church in the United Btates, ——_——< The reports from the recent elections in Spain state explicitly that not a republican was anywhere elected.

In this declaration the head of the army speaks for the people. Certainly every juan who has given the matter a moment's serious study appreciates the necessity for more efficient safeguards for our seaboard cities and ocean and coastwise commerce. ————— ‘The wind in far western Nebraska has been #0 violent as to blow the grain clear out of the ground, but not quite strong enough to blow the mortgages off of tne farms, ——__———»-<- The colored folk of Virginia seem to have made a sec ond declaration of independence, —— Er T.
