NOYES... steers Editor. pe dh pce permanent circulation more than the combined circalation of the other Washington dailies. As a Wews and Advertising Mediam it fas ne competitor. ys, om ac- tlm order to avoid 1 letters to jressed No matter Is of greater concern to @ com- munity than its water supply. The health and comfort of the people are largely de- Pendent upon the character and abundance of the water furnished them. Recent in- vestigations in cities where epidemics have caused great destruction of life, or the death rate from preventable diseases has deen reported as large have emphasized the importance of vigilantly guarding the water supply, as it affords one of the principal avenues by which disease can be brought | into a city and spread among its inhab- ftants. The attention of sanitarians and | philanthropic scientists has been turned to- | ‘wards the water which the people of Wash- | ington drink and the result has been action | on the part of the authorities that naturally has aroused protest among those who are | Put to inconvenience. Washington has two | sources of water supply—the Washington Aqueduct and the general water system, | bringing the Potomac water from Great | Falls and distributing it through the city, | and wells and pumps scattered through the city the remains of those which constituted the only source of supply of drinking water before the completion of the aqueduct. In- . vestigations, conducted by distinguished | scientists, under the direction of the Sani- tary League, and by physicians and experts flelegated by the Medical Society of Wash- Imgton, including the Health Ofcer of the | District, have resulted in practically the | same conclusions—that the weils in use in the city constitute a menace to health and should be abandoned as rapidly as possible, and that the Potomac water furnished to the city should be improved by the comple- tion at the earliest possible moment of the works proposed by Col. Elliot, providing means for purifying the water by sedimenta- tion and filtration. In view of the state- ments made by the Sanitary League and the Medical Society, the District Commis- @oners could do little else than take meas- ures to close public wells in the city where- ever in their judgment they could be closed ‘without serious public Ineonvenience, and in the order of their degree of discovered con- tamination, or else accept in large measure the responsibility for a continued death Fate from typhoid, much greater than it ought to be. Already the action of the Commissioners respecting certain pumps has called out vigorous protests. The wells, or many of them, supply water that is cool, palatable and refreshing, and to the eye seemingly clear and pure. In hot weather many whose houses are svpplied with Potomac water obtain their drinking water from neighboring pumps, because of its coolness and refreshing qual- ity. Such people, inconvenienced by the action of the authorities and inclined to question the statements of the experts, naturally protest with considerable show of feeling. There are some sections of the city where the people have no water ex- cept that furnished by the pumps, and in other portions of the city traversed by water mains many cannot afford the expense of a water connection. There can be little ques- tion, however, that those who are charged with responsibilities in this matter have but one course to pursue, and that course is one which will eventually remove what the sanitarians and physicians have pro- nounced @ menace to health. Of course the wells in sections where people are wholly dependent upon them for their water, by reason of the absence of water ‘ mains or the inability of the people to pay water rates, cannot be closed until public hydrants or other means of supply are provided, as urged several days ago by The Star. They must have water, even if it is unwholesome water. In this connection it might be well for the authorities to consider whether there could not be an improvement in the water rates, as well as the water, so that the occupant of a small house would not have to pay more in pro- portion than the rich man who dwells in a great mansion. Wherever the need of @ neighborhood is such that a well cannot be closed at once careful attention should be given to the well, with a view to pro- tecting the water, so far as possible, from contamination. Aside from the positive statements of the reports referred to, it seems hardly possible that wells, extending in most every case to &@ depth below the network of sewers and drains just Leneath the surface of the street, could be assured against contamination. It has been suggested by the champions of the wells that the sewers are at fault and mot the wells; and that the sewers should be placed in good repair and the wells not molested. There could, however, be no as- surance or certainty in the adoption of such @ plan. The soil of every large city be- comes after a time saturated and permeated with disease-breeding matter. As the case Row stands the only safe course is the ¢los- {wg of the wells as rapidly as public con- Wenience will permit and as discovered con- tamination in specific cases demands, and the improvement of the general water sup- Diy, its extension more completely over the whole city, and the provision of sutfficient hydrants and drinking fountains to give assurance that those who can use only free Water are supplied in the public interest as well as their own with such water. Neither the poor nor the well-to-do of Washington Must poison themselves with disease-laden well water or with turbid and unhtalthful Potomac water, or threaten the public health by abstinence from the use of water. The problem is to supply every part cf the eity and every citizen, rich or poor, with @n abundance of purified Potomac water, and there is no public work of greater im- portance than this, to which the authori- ties and public-spirited citizens can turn their attention. —_—+++___.

That many of the passengers contributed to the dis- aster is testified to even by survivors of the ill-fated fishing party; to shelter themselves from the heavy ‘spray they crowded to the Port side of the smooth-water boat and, oblivious in theif ignorance of the addi- tonal danger they were incurring, they re- mained there until two heavy seas on the starboard side swamped the tug and claimed as victims more than one-third of those who, but a little while before, had been hoping for a day of pleasure. ——_- ++ ___ Some of the citizeys who suffer from the disuse of the condemned wells in the city question the motives of those who advocate the closing of the wells discovered to be contaminated, and in their indignation at- tribute heartless and grasping avarice to “the water board" or “water company” that is pictured as conspiring against the wells in its selfish private interest. There is, of course, no water board or water com- pany of private individuals who can make money by extending the use of Potomac water in the city. Uncle Sam is the monop- olist who supplies Washingtonians with Po- | tomac water, and he collects payment to | reimburse him from the water-users, Wash- ingtonians have no, complaint to make of Uncle Sam in respect to the average ex- | action for water which he supplies to them; their grievance against him under this head is that through his tunnel blunder he robbed them of a Million dollars for water which he has failed to supply. This trans- action, in whieh Uncle Sam virtually em- beazled a million of the tax money of the | District entrusted to him for municipal uses, and applied ft to retmburse himself for expenditures wasted by him as the city’s water company through his own blundering, criminal negligence, perhaps | justifies almost any suspicion in respect to Uncle Sam's acts or motives as the city’s water board. But in the present case every indication is to the effect that Uncle Sam and his agents, in. closing contaminated wells, are endeavoring to protect the pub- lic health against poisonous typhold-breed- ing draughts, and are not conspiring to ex- tort a few additional dollars in water rents from famished Washingtonians to swell the treasury reserve and postpone a nation- al bond issue. ——_++2—_—___. One more wire-weary city has swung into line. This time it is St. Louis, where the sub-way commission has prepared for con- sideration by the city council an ordinance which insists that the safety of the lives and property of the citizens of St. Louis re- quires that the net-work of wires now strung overhead in the city’s streets should be placed underground. The conclusion reached is an excellent one in every respect and it will not be long before the example which was set by Washington will be fruit- ful of life-savitg results the whole country over. Few people either inside or outside of the District of Columbia realized the ex- tent of the victory won when Congress was persuaded into passing the act forbidding the further stringing of overhead wires. The fight was a bitter one and of such length that some of the less enthusiastic advocates of wire-burial retreated from the struggle In disgust long before the final and successful charge was made. The Star re- members with pride the part it took in the strife and hopes to have the pleasure of congratulating a great many other cities on their good sense in following closely in the footsteps of the capital. ——_~+e_ Paris develops the most aggravated type of anarchist, but she also provides the most Prompt and efficacious method of dealing with the species. ——_+ +s —___ It is not definitely known whether Gov- ernor Waite has gotten his mouth into shape for a Fourth of July explosion. ——_+ oe ——__ Mr. Prendergast remains unwept, unhon- ored and unhung. —++-—___. SHOOTING STARS. A Novel Idea. “All weddings seem just alike,” exclaimed one girl. “They are frightfuily common- place.” “Yes. When Herbert and I are married we have resolved on a startling departure.” “What is that?” “We will have a wedding which won't be described in the society columns as ‘quiet.’ ” An Heiress’ Observation. Titled stranger of dignified seeming, A remarkable fact do we note; Your coat of arms brightly is gleaming, But so are the arms of your coat. A Warm Day. “Mighty hot, ain't i exclaimed the man who was standing on the curbstone on Pennsylvania avenue. “Yes. I don’t see why you stay where it is so warm. Got an appointment?” “No. It's just my curiosity. I want to be here to see it when the asphalt melts and runs into the sewers. Rural Philosophy. Why sigh, when fields that verdant stood To yellow age give way? Your grass can't do you any good Until it turns to hay. “Dah ain’ much practical use,” said Uncle Eben, “in de kind ob penitance dat comes atter a man’s done et de chicken whut he gathered de night befoh.” Picture: but Dangero It is proper to gaze, with a sentiment tender, On land-marks our reverend forefathers made; But it's hardly in season to be a defender Of the time-stricken pump with its nozzle decayed. The iron-bound bucket we eherish sincerely, But earnest devotion must suffer a slump, When we think of the microbes that wiggle so queerly In water that flows from the old-fashioned pump. ‘Tis a figure romantic, and well we might keep it, If people would simply admire and not | taste. ‘ But think of the water! What dust-clouds must sweep it! How it patiently stands and absorbs every waste. ‘Tis a blissful retreat for the typhoid bacil- lus; A place where bacteria scurry and jump; It is nice for the germs; but ‘twill certainly kill us To keep on good terms with the old-fash- ioned pump. —_roo__— The Tar and Feathers Penalty. rom the New York Sun, It is understood that Mr. Croker intends | to pay New York another brief visit, —————_ + +e The drowning accident in the vicinity of New York on Sunday should teach some of the reckless but lucky landsmen, who at- | tempt to navigate the Potomac hereabouts that ignorant and foolhardy people who dally with combinations of boats and deep water can hardly hope to escape serious @iscomfort and may easily achieve a wa- tery grave. Overcrowding is not common on the large steamers here—the good sense of the owners and the vigilance of inspect- ing officers making such an offense diffi- | cult—but there are frequently too many People on some of the smaller craft, parti- cularly sailboats.

Doesn't the personal outrage of tar and | feathers inflicted on Adjutant General Tars- | ney of Colorado by those who thought he | had obstructed their claim on other people's ploperty, point to @ more effective way of getting a hack at wealth than the income tax? bill to forbid incomes over 34,000 under | penaity of tar and feathers, or permitting | the penalized to escape tar and feathers on payment Of a heavy fine? ‘The latter scheme | would produce more revenue, but it would be still more conducive to inequality of dis- tribution. ‘The democrats in the Senate have as good a right precisely to impose | such a law on the citizens of this country as they have to impose an income tax. If any Senator should be told that it would be contrary to democratic principles and pledges, let him challenge his presumptuous | eritic to point out the clauge in the demo- cratic national platform saying that tar and feathers were not proper instruments of rectifying society according to the sweet will of the new statesmanship.
