The pump-water of Baltimore Is being ana
lyzed under the direction of the health commits
sfOner. The results of the examination so far
show that Baltimore furnishes no exception to
the rule that we'll water In cities In unfit to
drink. The earth on which men settle thlckly,
like the air about them, soon becomes contami-
mated without the same opportunities OF purifl-
cation. The water which forces its way through
this polluted soil absorbs the impurities, and
the wells become the receptacles OF the drain
1ngS OF sinks and privies. Analysis shows that
the water Is 1mpregnated with ammonia and
filled with animal and vegetable matter, The
same popularity Is noticeable In the case OF
Baltimore, as observed elsewhere, that even
when the presence OF dangerous SUBJ
stances in the water Is proved, and the
TACT Is brought to notice, that scores of
epidemics have been caused by the use of such
water, the people still oppose or consent with
reluctance TO the closing Of the wells But

authority to abate nuisances Is removing

Jay Gould ts reported as saying of the new
Union Telegraph Company" Of which he owns
half the stock, that it Is not intended to reduce
the rates OF telegraphy or to break down the
Western Union, but that sit is necessary to

Gould's idea, at least, is to make the new

Though there is a dissemination to enter upon
general legislation this session, there is one
measure that good many members, parricu-
larry from he South, think should be taken up
and passed on-hand. This Is the bill to repeal
the duty on quinine. To begin with, there
seems to be no reason why duty should ever
have been laid upon Quinine, as cinchona Is not
grown In this country, and therefore there was
no occasion to give 1t q tariff protection. B IL
there Is an enormous DUTY upon 1t, which falls
largely upon the poor people or the malariou !,
regions Of the country or late the price has
been much increased by the success of q COM
binat1on In controlling the Importation. 1t
seems that one extensive drug establishment
In Philadelphia has managed to monopoike the
whole quinine business, and to regulate prices
at its Will. Whether or not the repeal of the
duty win break up this monopoly, it should, at
least, have the effect of reducing the cost to
purchasers to the amount Of the tariff.

LOUISIANA LEVEEs.
sillle

We publish this morning q completed state
ment of the work done during the Nichols
administration and with our own resources
toward protecting the alluyial lands of Lou
isiana. This statement shows where the
work has been done, the quantity and the
amount paid. It therefore enables the
people to form their own estimate Of
the fidelity and Judgment with which
the public funds have been administered
by our State Engineers, acting In concert
with the Governor and the commissioners Of
the different levee districts. For our own
part we do not hesitate to say that this show
ing constitutes most eloquent testimony to
the ability and good faith Of the admins
tratton and proves that the promises which
we're made by the Democratic party have,
thus far. been fulfilled. In previous arti-
clio on this subject we have explained the
present condition OF the levees and IL Ia
only necessary to repeat now. that
with tho exception of the Bonnet Carre and
the Morganza crevasses there Is not a serious
defect In our levees within the boundaries Of
tho State. The Ashton Ievee has not been
rebuilt, for the reason that 1t is intersected by
the Arkansas line and it would have been %
mere waste Of money to repair that break
when there was nothing beyond the line to
join to. The lower line Of the Arkansas
Ievees are down, and no additional protection
could have been given to Louisiana by filling
up tho Ashton break
Thus our planters are In little danger from
ordinary high water. except through the neg
lect Of ollr neighbors Of Arkansas. and this
gratifying result Is due to the admirable and
faithful administration Of the leyee fund by
the Nichols government We point to this
result as one Of which q paper advocating thu
Democratic party may justly feel proud, and
ask the peopla to compare 1t with the waste,
the shameful and reckless profligacy OF the
Radical interlude .--.

MARINE DISASTERS,

The recent terrible disasters at sea, which
have followed each other with startling rapid
ity and all OF which have been caused by col
lisions. have awakened very general inter-
est In the methods now in vogue by mariners
looking to the prevention of such accidents.
The steamer Champion. of the New York and
Charleston Line. was sunk almost instantly by
coiIiding with the British sailing ship Lady
Octavia. Id the Atlantic, a few hours run from
Rarncgat lighthouse The night WAS clear
and starlt and the sea smooth. SO that the
accident which resulted In the loss Of about
thirty human beings and the ship and cargo
was caused by tho grosseet carelessness,
presumably, on the part Of the officers
Of the Champion, as she was a steam
vessel, and could, without difficulty,
have avoided the collision had "
proper watch been maintained. Evidently
there was no adequate watch kept on either
ship, and both were blowing at top-speed
through the water. trusting to luck and
leaving the fate of passengers and crew to
the tender Dlerces Of sleepy and thoughtleRs
subordinate officers, and possibly to the
care Of the men at the wheels. About 8
O'Clock In the morning, when Capt. Lock
wood of the Champion heard the cry Of Sail
ahead T. he sprang from his bed, ran to the
pilot house. stopped the steamer, and then
rang the backing bell. 1t was too late, how
ever; the Lady Octavia was only about fifty
yards Off, and the next instant she crashed
into the steamer, Shaving In the whole bow
nearly to the foremost" and sinking her In
about three minutes. There was but little
time to make arrangements for saving
those on board, and hence the heavy
loss OF life. The passengers sprang
from their comfortable beds, rushed on
deck, and sprang into, or We're
drawn down into the water Of the Atlantic.
This disaster is one which could have been
avoided by the exercise OF the most ordinary
care, and 1t Is to be hoped that the investtga-
ton now progressing in Philadelphia will be
sufficiently searching as to fix the blame
upon the culpable parties, who should be pun
ished to the full extent Of the law
| The accident to the ocean steamship Ari-
IONA, of the Williams & Guion European
Line, which occurred about the same time off
the coast or Newfoundland, was, owing to the
ship being constructed with separate COM
partments, not attended with loss of life. The
steamer while under full Roadway, ran into
an iceberg, STAYING In her bow half way
through the first compartment, which filled
with water but did not disable the ship, as
she succeeded in getting safely into St.
Johns somewhat curtailed as to her
fair proportions, but not seriously
damaged and with her cargo intact The
