A writer in The Municipality and County, Published in Buffalo, in discussing the sub- ject of public water supply demonstrates pretty thoroughly the fact that typhoid fever is caused by polluted water supply and then he goes on to make the following state- ment with respect to this city: “Meanwhile Washington city, the capital of our country, which draws its water supply from the sew- age-poliuted Potomac river and delivers it to its consumers in the same condition in which it is taken from the original source, at no time during the past five years has had a death rate from typhoid fever of less than 66, and at times as high as 83 per 100,000 of population, or an average for the past five years of nine and a half times that of the city of Berlin.” it is not true that Washing- ton draws its water supply from a sewage- polluted river, and it is nonsense to attempt to make this city,out as an unwholesome community with a high death rate and to attribute this mortality to the Potomac river. The Potomac water supply of Wash- ington is drawn from the Great Falls sixteen miles above the city, where the river is a deep and rapid mountain stream, at a point which is at once miles above tide water and many miles below the last possible source of pollution. The opinion of engineers and scientists is well defined on the point of self purification of rivers and in a recent issue of the Engineering Record a paper by Mr. Al- len Hazen, an eminent authority on this sub- Ject, was printed in which he declared that “when a small quantity of sewage was dis- charged in a large volume of pure or com- paratively pure water the organic and pol- luting matters of the sewage are oxidized and destroyed by the oxygen of the air which is ordinarily contained in solution in the water." The Potomac is certainly a large enough body of water to care for the comparatively small amount of sewage that nay flow into it from the small cities located en its shores in the distant upper reaches of the stream, and all bactertological examina- tions so far made indicate that the supply is pere and unpolluted when It passes Great Falls. One does not expect to find such a careless, injurious statement in Municipality and County. +> oe -—__ The Lesson of Electrolysis. - The discovery of injuries to local water and gus mains caused by electric currents ehould cause no surprise. The same thing has happened in other cities, to a greater extent, and the only reason why this city’s mains have not been sertously affected long ago is that the source of the danger—the overhead trolley street railway system which uses the earth for the return current— has been practically excluded from the city and from the vicinity of most of the mains. In the electric systems which do not have a complete metallic cireult the return cur- rent in passing through the earth takes its course along a metal pipe, if it can find ore, which, being filled with moisture and surrounded by damp earth, is the best kin] of conductor. The most curious feature of eiectrolysis is the corrosion of earthen pipes, terra-cotta conduits, and the like, and the recent local discoveries show that there is every reason for extreme yigilance in guard- ing these subterranean equipments, which must be kept in perfect order if the city’s health is to be protected. A great fault found with the overhead system has always been its flimsy character, its great cheap- ness of initial installation causing unre- liable mechanism and dangerous possibili- ties of disaster. The falling of wires is one result of this unreliable construction. So also is the development of electrolysis, which is not present in the case of well-built and carefully constructed lines. The safest rem- edy against such an evil fs the total re- jection of this means of street-car propul- sion, and-the adoption of some of the more modern and sensible systems that are now compartively numerous and that have been thoroughly demonstrated to be reliable. ——__+ ++ _____ Macbeth and Irving. Henry Irving ts hardly to be called an iconoclast for his new views upon the char- acter of the murderous Thane of Cawdor, ch he pronounced in a lecture in New York recently. Macbeth has never at best had any too excellent a reputation, and the only hint of an excuse for him was that the chief suggestion of murder always came from his wife, who has therefore suf- fered all these years from the consequences of this charge. Henry Irvirg, however, de- clared that in Macbeth himself dwelt the murderous motive, and that so shrewd was he, so finished in his devilish art, that he managed to give his wife the bulk of the credit for their bloody deeds, affecting a sort of hypnctic influence over the millions of readers who have come to regard him as a rather abused and unfortunate person. He said that Macbeth was a villain, bad to the core. Irving's new conception of the character of Macbeth fs not an unwelcome one. It has never been a source of any sratification that a woman could be so ut- terly lost to principles of humanity as to commit and suggest the deeds that are pop- ularly ascribed to her, and in these latter days of general recegnitiqn of the rights and privileges of womankind it is but just that this cloud should be lifted from so cel- ebrated a personage as Lady Macbeth. Of course, Irving cannot hope to entirely ac- quit her of the charge of murder or man- slaughter or of the only relatively lesser offense of being an accessory, but he may at least succeed tn lightening the burden of blame that rests upon her and of making Macbeth shoulder a larger part of It. +> —____ The completeness with which the pugi- lists have subsided may be due to the fact that Lord Dunraven won't let them hear themselves talk. ——_+ e+ —_ This country’s present attitude toward Cuba seems to be that we sympathize with her, but are afraid to say so. ——<—<—<—<—<— They Favor the Nenr-Side Rule. The District Commissioners have been faking counsel on the question of issuing a Tule regulating the place where rapld-transit street-oars should stop with respect to street crossings. It was a sensible and well-con- sidered move to secure evidence from other gities, and in the present case the informa- ticn reosived afforded a curious contradic- tion of testimony, the Inevitable verdict up- on whioh must be that the near-side rule, as frequently advocated by The Star, is the more desirable one to adopt. The Commis- stonets, it seems, sent letters to the mayors f Baltimore, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pitts- urg, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, St. Louis @nd@ New York, thus including the munici- ities that are most generously provided th rapid-transit facilities. Three ques tions were asked, the first being whether the cars under the present arrangements @top at the near or far crossing; the second was whether, in the judgment of the qoayors, the far or near side affords the §reater public security from accidents in THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. making stops.. The third question was im- material in this connection, relating to the question of whether the cars stop at all in- tersecting streets or only where passengers, are waiting. The mayors of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Brooklyn and Pittsburg answered that the cars in their cities*stop at present at the near side, while those of Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, St. Louis and New York answered that the far-side rule was in vogue. This Bave a vote of five to four in favor of the far side as regards the present rule, but the answers to the question relating to the de- gree of security to the public produced a far different result. In the opinion of the mayors of Baltimore, Brooklyn, Philadel- phia, Pittsburg, Chicago, Cleveland and Bos- ten, the near-side rule affords the greater Publile security, while one only, the mayor of New York, believes in the far-side rule. The mayor of St. Louis returned no answer to this question, thus leaving the vote, as it might be called, standing 7 to 1 in favor of the near side. The fact that the mayors of Chicago, Cleveland and Boston have been convinced by the operations of the far-side rule that it is not a safe one should leave no doubt whatever as to the wisdom of an order com- pelling all rapid-transit lines of Washington to bring their cars to a halt before crossing an intersecting thoroughfare. When mu- nicipal authorities change front on a ques- tion of this kind it is fair to presume that they have been persuaded to do so by actual demonstrations of the inutility or danger of the established rule, whereas it is evident that the near-side rule has worked well in the four cities where ft is now In vogue, else the official opinions would not favor its con- tinuance. In the light of this information, it is difficult to see how the Commissioners ean well decide otherwise than in favor of the regulation now in vogue in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. —__-+ +e —___ Senator Sherman {s not old in his career of professional authgrship, otherwise he might have been more cautious in recogni- tion of the fact that it is always dangerous to attempt anccdotes with a live man. ——__ +e —-—___ Col.

SHOOTING STARS,. Unmoved. “That steam heater in my room imakes a gcod deal of noise,” said the nervous guest to the hotel clerk. The baughty official stared at him. “I say that steam heater in my room makes a great deal of noise,” he repeated. "I heard you gay it,” was the reply in a far-off voice of ennul, “that isn’t original, my dear fellow.’ His Motive. “Den't let anybody, especially newspaper men, know what we're doing,” said one official to anothér. _ “Why, for a long time we've been doing nothing at all.” “Yes, and that’s just what I'm anxious to keep the public from finding cut.” A Physical Lupossibility. “Mike,” sald Plodding Pete, “If you had a@ twe.ty-dollar bill, would you blow it in?” “Nepe,” replied Meandering Mike; “I couldn’t blow it in.
