there is an annual complaint, botl about
the supply and the purity of water. and
constant fear that the supply may not
prove to be satisfactory in the event
Of extensive fires. The engineer officers
are Competent to explain the peculiar
relations of supply and demand, the execu-
tive officers of the water departments to
give practical suggestions on the same
point, the sanitary officers to advance
theories regarding the origin of impurities,
and the fire department officials to show
how present systems are defective as re-
CARDS the ready use of water to guell great
confiagrations. In short, the subjects for
discussion by such convention are at once
of paramount importance, both as regard
health, comfort and the safety of property.
We believe that the Potomac water used
by the citizens Of the District will average
as acceptable as that supplied to any COM
munity, even Of larger size; but experience
has proved that it may become so utterly
Objectionable as to be repulsive both for
drinking and ablution. The fault, as we
have previously explained, is not to be
found in the pipes or mains, although it
must be admitted that some of the old-fash-
ioned pipes do partially destroy the purity
of the water passing through them by the
peculiar action of chemical qualities This
being demonstrated, the cause of the evil
must be looked for elsewhere, and is as
likely to be found in the receiving and dis
tributing reservoirs as any place else.
When the water is introduced into the
former from the river it brings with
it a certain amount of impurities,
and the germs of more. While it
cannot be said that it remains stagnant, it
seems probable that it is sufficiently mac
tive to admit of the full development under
favorable circumstances of those impurities
and the progress to partial if not complete
maturity of the germs. OF the chsracterof
these impurities or germs, whether they are
animal or vegetable, the authorities do not
agree. We are not inclined to believe,
however, that the presence of fish or pisci-
nal substance is as injurious as the public
generally believe them to be. Dead fish,
or dead animalcule of any kind, will de-
stroy the purity of the water; but living
matter will not seriously affect it. But
be this as it may, the necessity
is plainly apparent that whatever
Injuries the water before it gets into the
pipes should be removed If this can be
done by senes of filtering processes, or
in any other way, the expense attending
it should not be allowed to stand in the
way. By all means let US investigate this
subject thoroughly and practically.

THE WATER QUEsTI0N-A NATIONAL
SUGGESTION,

There are three classes of officials who
are directly interested in the water supply
of great cities, and to whom the public
looks for information whenever the water
question" comes up for discussion. OF
these the engineers and officials who
have direct control over the supply are the
most important, while the sanitary officers,
whose duty it is to provide against the in
PRODUCTION and spread of disease, are next
in rank. The third are the fire department
officers, whose important connection with
water supplies will be readfIg conceded.
We have classified these officials in this
way for the purpose of making the sugges-
tion that a national convention shall be
held, composed of delegates from the
water departments, health boards and fire
departments of all the large cities of the
country, at some appropriate time and
place. 10 take into consideration the nu-
merous difficulties that may be com
rrehended under the head of the water
Question. The necessity of such conven-
tion will at once be admitted, and its prac
tieaI character needs no extended explana-
tIou. In the history of every large city

THE Philadelphia Inquirer seems to
think that 1.-THE case against Mr.. Jerome ].
&c Kinds was clear enough to make his con-
eviction a question only of taking proper
proceedings against him." The sssump-
ton would have been correct if ''the
Washington accounts of the case, and the
evidence which it was expected would be
brought out, had not been exaggerated.
The truth is, many of those accounts"
were sheer fabrications, prepared by the
sub-detectives of the Algerine Coast as
sensations for the columns of the Detective
press. The case was really bad enough,
but not half so bad as it was represented.
The sub-detectives referred to connected
Senator Spencer with it, for example,
when the facts show that, aside from
being an acquaintance and friend of Kinds
before the exposure, he had no more to do
with that persons contracts than he would
naturally have had with any man who
accidentally lived in the same house with
him.

THE CHILDREN of the public schools Of
the Third district gave an entertainment at
Washington hall last night to which twen-
ty-fve cents admission was charged, the
proceeds for the purchase of first honor
medals" 1t was generally supposed that
when the trustees one year ago decided not
to offer any such hOuors, the rule then
adopted would be adhered to. They have,
however, amended it in several instances,
of which this is the most Objectionable. 1t
certainly reflects 10 credit either on the
District or the school trustees that such
methods of raising money for medals are
permitted. A repetition should be posi-
lively forbidden.

THEY have curious law for the regula-
tion of boys in San Francisco. 1t provides
that ''it shall be unlawful for three or more
persons under the age of twenty-one
"years to congregate, or assemble, or en-
"Cage in any sport or exercise, or make or
"endeaVOr to make any noise or disturb
lance on any public thoroughfare be-
"tween eight o'clock in the evening and
daylight" The direct intent of this pro-
vision is to suppress the ''hoodlum." The
mistake in it, however, will be admitted
when it is remembered that two boys and,
for that matter, one boy, can make noise
enough on occasion to disturb the equan-
unity of any neighborhOOd. The only
way to prevent this trouble is to kill them
outright suggestion which we do not
earnestly urge upon the serious considera-
tion of parents. We believe, however
that the boys have rights, and among
them is the right to live and be as noisy as

Now THAT SAM CAREY has come to
the fDre again as the Democratic cln-
didate TO be Lieutenant Governor of
Ohio, reminiscence of his gold headed
cane presentations are revived. 1t seems
he was formerly in the habit of pur-
chasing a cane of that description at his
own expense, and having it presented to
him at the close of a temperance address.
On such occasions he would simulate as
tonishment, and proceed to make feeling
speech of acceptance. He is well remem-
bered here in the District as a pompous old
gentleman, whose nose and gold headed
cane, differing but little in brilliancy, were
to be seen everywhere. No doubt his
idea OF the cane business was absorbed
from the experience of one of our local pol
iticians with brass band.

CHICAGO, April 2.-Advices received
az St. Paul, Minn., from. Bismarck say
the threatened Indian trouble had its
origin in the Standing Rock Agency
being short of provisions due the In
dians. Gen. Custer desired to make up
the deficiency by the transfer of a por-
tion of the army rations at Fort Lincoln
to the Indian Agent, and d delegation
from the confederated Arickarees,
Manims and Gros Ventres were then al
Fort Lincoln, expecting to meet the
Sioux, the hostile bands, and make a
treaty OF peace.
John Ii. Collins, formerly of Galena,
appointed by the President to bring the
Sioux chiefs to Washington for negOta-
tions with reference to Il cession for
the Black Hills, accompanied by Gen.
VIM. Meyers, Depot Quartermaster at
Washington, is in the Indian country
searching for the hostile bands OF Sioux.
He entertains no doubt that treaty for
the cession OF the Black Hills will be ne
gotiated in force by May 1st. The In
dams are said to have liked their price
for the hills at 100000.

He said it was great thing to write

He said i had not only injured him in

placed him; that 1 had caused his wife
