1t is stated that IN New Haven about

usual sources OF information about the
quality oltheir well water, 1t ia not likely
that the wells were abandoned without
cause. As, however, houses, wells and
sinks are no nearer one another In New
Haven than in the majority Of country vii.
lagos, the action Of the people should have
some effect upon other communities that
get their drinking water from wells, The
quality OF well water that does not smell

soXE days ago the Chicago 7EHkI sent to
its correspondents in the several States the
following questions, with instructions to
submit them to the leading politicians in
their vicinity:
Has the recent attempt to aSSIsllnHte
the President wrought any marked change
in political feeling? And, II 80, OF what
nature is the changer
What effect, II any, has 1t produced in
popular views on our administrative AZ
Engagements?
Have the designations Of Senators
Conkling and Plat, and the subsequent
contest in the New York Legislature, pro-
ducsd any effect upon either party that
will probably bs felt in the next general
contestP
What, II any, indications are there Of Q
break up or arrangement Of political
parties?
In It's Saturday issusit publiShsd replies,
by mail and telegraph, to these. The an
sWers, while they can not be said to be Of
very great value, are interesting 40 show
ing what men are pleased to give a. their
opinions. In reply to the first query
there ia much unAnimity Of impression
that the assault on the President has, FOL
the time at least, brought the brotherhood
Of men into clearer view than ever before
It is not thought this marked goodness
will last long alter the recovery Of thu
President is assured, The asperitieS o.
politics will assert themselves, To thu
second question there Is q greater
variety OF answers, but there Ia
pTspondsrapCs OF thought thAI
the assassination grew out Of the
abuses ri the GpoilS system and q
general demand for reforms that will re-
move the evils Of that system. They are
few who say they think the act oil Guiteau
had no connection with the spoils. To
the third question, among Republicans
there Is q general negative, They say the
fight has cleared the air, and in contests
to come the party will bs united and
strong. Democrats, however, affect to
believe that there has 3 breach been
caused which will not heal in this gem
