THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: MONDAY... ‘CROSBY §. NOYES THE permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper fm the city. As x local NEWS paper and Advertising Medicm it bus ne competitor. For the greater part of the year Potomac water as delivered through reservoirs and pipes to the water users of Washington is pure and elear—in fact, pretty good water. But there are intervals between the seasons of purity and translucency, the present time being one of these, when the Potomac water consumed in the city is simply intolerable. The mud that gives it beautiful cider or claret hue is ob- Jectionable on varions obvious grounds. The ‘writers on hygiene say that no fluid enbstance ‘With numerous particles of foreign matter can safely take the place of water for «long while as @ drink. Again common sense says ‘that impuritics on the surface of the skin or about the premises cannot be removed by the application of mud even ina diluted state. ‘Throat, eye, stomach, all revolt at the continu- fug nuisance and injary to health. As there fare ways of abating this nuisance aud prevent- Ing this general injury to the community con- cerned they ought speedily to be adopted. Fortunately Congress is in session and the members of the District legislature may look aod taste and feel for thomnelves. They need mo word from Ta Stam ora single inhabit- ant of the city among the quarter of a million population to show the wecessity for improvement in the Potomac water. ‘Last year Col. Elliot disapproved filtration as a | remedy of this occasionni turbidity as too e: pensive, and recommended an additional eet- tling basin so that when the river is turbid the water can havea longer time for depositing its sedimentary matter before passing into the mains. To provide this additional basin ke suggested the utilization of the receiving res- ervoir for thie purpose, as was contemplated design in the duct, and he ree meat of the receiving exclusion of all water from it except Potomac water, and the deepening and protection of its margins He has now be- come couvinced that in addition to this sot- tling basin some eystem of filtration is neceseary. The conditions of Wash- ington’s water supply are very peculiar. ‘The excessive use of water by the go in departments and parks cau P the city, who in some sections have been quently cut off from all eupply in the second Stories of their houves, to be credited with a greater per capita supply than in any other city. The water-takers have been charged a million dollars for au increased sapply via tunnel, and have not received an additional hey are credited r which they do not get, they are paying for a water tunnel which they Eave not got, and they contract and pay for water and receive mud. A general redress of grievances is in order - ++ If the strain upon the St. Louis Republi power of research would not be over-distress- ing Tne Stan would respectiully request that Jo i to locate an igoscrive the organization which ii 3 * is denomi- for the aque- ded the improve- reservoir by the original grouped ame: islation. The 4s of course aware that Under the Const ess is the Dis- trict's and city’s legislature, the only one it has, and that no municipal need of the most obvious aad urge b agaldermen and common councils deal with in St. Louis, ean be met without congressional action. The Heputiic will also perceive that if the aldermen and common council of St. Louis ‘were chosen for it by the whole uation and not by the people of the @ would arise an absolute necessity for the citizens of St. Low to communicate in some way tg their legis! ture the facts, not acquired by residence there, Which would enable it to disburse the local taxes in meeting local needs with some degree of intelligence. In this mazner the District is naturally “interested in legislation” of a body Which disburses annually several million dol- lars of taxes collected from it. Ha lobby ists ‘pe ion Cong: cess to the floor of its legislature citizens are ied to meet ther aldermen andcommoa councilmen in the lobby This fact does not place them among prc lobbyists who come here from the various states Of the Union, Msssouri largely included, to pro- mote special interests for a cousideration ‘To suggest a““District ring” in this ccnnection is un- iutentional irony and mockery. The people of the District ought to be organized for the ¢ fective presentation of the capital's wants to the legislatare, largely composed of strangers, which will spend for it, either foolishly or wisely. the millions which we raise in tases, but they are not. They ar toe much split ito factions and tern by sectional and personal Jeslousies. Would there were a “District of Columbia ring” in asense which would or- ganize the people in the city’s interest, and eause all pablic-spirited citizens to sink per- sonal differences and stand together shoulder to eboulder for the advancement ef the welfare of Washington! Allegation in an offensive of the exis ence of @ “District ring” is untimely. Th bugaboo is not usually exhibited durirg the busy winter months, when facts are plentiful. In the newsless, silly season two or three of the correspondents aze accustomed to put up a Straw man. thus labeled. in order to show their agility in belaboring it with a stuffed club, but ag the season. The high pricet of the star-eyed goddess of tariff reform, Mr. Henry Watterson, is p to say that Mr. Elaine's the breast of protection equal to Henry Clay's flank movement The high priest has forgotten the history of that flank movemert.

The hizh priest of the star-eyed Boddess would have thought that was the right place to go. Therefore he should uot forget Bis tari® history and in drawing parallels be- tween Blaine « and Clay's action pronounce the former a stab to protection Mr. Blaine, like Mr. Clay, believes in protection too much to sacrifice it in « spirit of fanaticism.
