DIR. Tullio S. Verdi, President Of the
Board of Health of Washington, d. C.,
says, in his report to the President OF the
United States in 1877 A government
should not be nipgardly in the supply OF
water. any more than il should be in the
supply of air. Every drop of water is q
scavenger, every drop Of pure water, Is a
drop of health, when 1t is not poisoned
In relation to sewers he says: "Wos to
our city, woe to any severed city, II the
supply Of water should be Withdrawn
hundred, nay for fifty Consecutive C hours
| Another very important matter Is 'ne
question of wholesome food. 1t Is made
the duty of the Board Of Health OF Wash
ing, ID. c., by an act of Congress, to pre-
vent the sale of UNIV wholesOme food.
"Yet the means gwen by tn same are

It, is not within human possibility that
this one man should visit these places
regularly, even once in two weeks, for
The public markets take all MS time.
There is no ques ion in sanitary govern

citizen as this very question oil whoie-
some food. 1t affects tho Ilch as well as
as the poor, not only for day but ioi
every day, and that every iime that ne

Inspector Wolf, says:When the farmer

might say have been abatsd, with the

of the opinion that in time the nuis

allow large quantity Of filth to run in

MIR. EDITOR Your article OF to-day,
headed "Pure Water" was among the
very best have seen yet in your paper,
and you appear to show more, earnest
ness on that subject than all the rest of
the papers i'll the city ; and so far as my
information goes the people are with
you on this subj ,ct of pure water.
read the article 10 number OF gentle
men where we had met together, and
they all spoke in the highest ierns OF IT..
Among them was the President oil the
Board of Health, who expressed himself
in the very strongest manner while l
was leailng it, and when had hnished
he told me 10 say to you that you had
spoken his mind on that subject, and all
that he Knew of, or had talked to on
this trouble we have about the water
We have to drink. Your reference to
City Council is good. 1t is their ausi-
ness to see that the laws are enforced
and that all impurities are kept out of
the water in the Brandywine. For they
have the power and the means to do 1t.
Some of the members of Council are
afraid, fear, of offending these factory
| men and wink az this mischief they are
doing. 1t does appear whenever there
is an axe to grind, there is always hush
money. Our Chief Engineer of the
Water Department makes very good
and extensive report, but says nothing
about the impurities that Is tinto the
| Brandywine once a week. He certainly
knows all about 1t, aud his report would
have been more satisfactory If he recon-
| mended that measures be taken to STOP
this filthy stuff that is turned into the
| water once a week.
Mr.. Editor let us push this battle to
1 the gate. Our Legislature will soon be
| in session, and if the law preventing i'm
puriries from being put into streams o
water that are used for drinking purpose'
be not plain enough let us petition to oul
law making powers To make II palmer 81
it can be got at with less difhculfy.

The PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERI-
CAN is recognized as the leading COM
mercial newspaper of the State. The
present editor is pleasantly compliment
ed by cotemporary in the following
manner:
"Colonel Clayton McMichael, who has
for some years filled the chair of his
honored and lamented father, has been
member of the staff of the "North
American" ever since he attained to
years of discretion, with the exception
of the time in which he won his title in
the army. Trained under the watchful
eye of the Hon. Morton McMichael, one
of the greatest masters of English known
to American journalism, he was not
permitted to assume the editorship until
his father felt that he could with perfect
confidence intrust the destinies of the
paper to his hands, and long after he
was its undisputed head he had the
benefit of his fathers wise counsels and
had so conducted the journal that for
some years before his death Mr.. Morton
McMichael was seldom seen in the edi-
torial room and took no active part in
the conduct of the newspaper. Colonel
McMichael is essentially the gentleman
in journalism in the best sense of the
term. Occupying, as he does, a promi-
nent position in the social and club life
of the city, he never sewers himself from
his profession and rarely fails to arrange
the layout Of the editorial page himself,
and carefully revise all the proofs of
editorial matter. He inherits the facul-
ty of editing, a faculty that comes to few
journalists. Frank and cordial in his
manner, he receives the many visitors
to his office with courtesy that makes
them appreciate the man and under
stand the intelligence and good breeding
that have given the North American"
its character and tone"
