People appear TO have undergone little
or no change since the time OF our
Saviour in the matter of discovering oh.
joots in their own eyes and in those of
their neighbors. The small grain of sand in their
neighbor's eye still assumes to them the dimen-
sions Of huge boulder while the saw log in their
own eyes dwindlcs down to diminuiive particle
of suwdust. am led TO these remarks by the tre-

Cheap Filtration for Water.

The Journal Of Chemistry calls Boston
"a city of water jugs" from the curious
spectacle there presented early in the
morning, all the roads leading into the
city being encountered with numerous
vehicles heavily laden with jugs of water
from the springs and pools of the neigh
boring towns and hamlets. These jugs
of water are purchased, by those of the
city who can afford the luxury, as drink
ing water, and the significance of the
trade lies in the fact that the Bostonians
have lost faith in the healthfulness of
the water supplied by the city. They
say that after standing few hours, it is
of bad odor, and all the skill of the sci
entists has not been able to detect the
cause. But the Journal shows that it
may be filtered and rendered as pure and
healthful as that furnished by the enter
prising Jug haulers, and what it states
on the subject of filtration and cheap
filters is interesting. 1t says;
"By filtration, even by the most simple
means. Boston water becomes pure and
inodorous, and as good for domestic
uses as any brought from springs The
use of ordinary flannel, of several
LAYERS, securely attached to a water
faucet in the form of a small bag, gives
to the infowing water colorless ap-
pearance, and removes nearly all offend
ing matters. 1t is better, however, to
use filter of more efficient nature, and
this can be of home construction and
cbeaply made. A cylinder of tin, three
inches in diameter and six or eight inches
long. filled with alternate layers of clean
beach sand and pounded charcoal,
answers an admirable purpose. 1t may
be attached to the faucet by a screw OBJ
tanned from the plumbers, and there
should be delivery tube at the bottom.
II is best to have two delivery
faucets: one for filtered water, for
strictly culinary and drinking uses; and
another for supplies for sink purposes
and for washing. A filter used only for
water for culinary purposes will serve
its end in most families for several
months, and when it fails of satisfactory
service it may be removed, the contents
changed, ana again put III 4Vs PIoOO' Il
some plumber in the city would construct
cheap and convenient filters, costing no
more than a couple of dollars, on the
plan suggested, he would confer great
service upon the poor people OF the city
and reap rich pecuniary reward.
These are good hints for the citizens
of Savannah to act upon. There is no
such complaint against the water of Sa-
vannah as is made in Boston, but our
river water is nearly all the time very
muddy, and contains good deal of sedi-
ment. All this may be easily removed to
the very great advantage to health and
comfort by system of cheap filtration
such as is above described.

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens opened
the campaign at the opera house, At
lanta, last night. He gave very practi-
cal evidence of the fact that he is not so
physically infrm as some of his enc
mics have asserted, as he spoke for two
hours. In the course of his remarks he
recounted the history of the Republican
party, denounced its efforts to centralize
the government and destroy the rights OF
the States, and urged upon the people of
Georgia to uphold the organized De-
mocracy in its efforts to defeat these
Radical schemes. What sounder or
more Democratic counsel could the most
stalwart Democrat in the world give2
And yet the people of Georgia are grave
ly told by the opponents of the Democ'
racy that Mr.. Stephens is not in sympa-
thy with the Democratic party.

The New Commanding General of the
Army.

AS has already been announced Gen.
w. T. Sherman has made application to
be retired from the command Of the
United States army in November, 1888.
and if mis- request is acceded to, Lieu
tenant General Phil Sheridan will be his
successor.
This change will reflect no credit upon
either the army or the American people.
Neither brilliant officer Lor very in
tellectual NAM Sheridan cannot be ex-
pected to make commanding General
who will fill the position with either
dignity or special honor to the country.
And besides this, it is well known that
he is bitter Radical partisan, adevotee
of Grant and a malignant hater of the
Southern people.
The South, however, while 1t
has nothing to hope for from
the succession of Sheridan to the
position of commanding General Of
the army, has nothing to fear therefrom.
The time has passed when Sheridan, or
any one else, can denounce Southern
merchants and gentlemen as 'banditti"
with impunity, and he can no longer de-
clare that he is mot afraid" to treat
them as such or refuse to acknowledge
them as worthy and valuable citizens
entitled to more respect than he can
possibly command. In the days when
he could thus indulge his partisan malig-
nifty to his full satisfaction, his special
friend and paragon, Grant, occupied the
White House, and was indulging IN the
fond hope that he would be able to
change the Presidential chair into a
throne. But Grant has been rejected by
the American people, his policy towards
the South repudiated, and his ambi-
tious longings crushed, and it is
not likely that any other President
will arise who will strive to lord it with
despotic power over the citizens of any
of the free, sovereign commonwealth
which compose this Union. Little
Phil may therefore chafe and fret at his
restraint, but he will nevertheless have
to show respect for the Constitution and
the laws, or be removed from Office.
1t matters little to the South, then,
whether Sherman or Sheridan occupy
the post of commander of the army,
though for the credit of the country it is
a misfortune that such man as Sheri-
dan could ever fill that important and
honorable position. In the course Of a
few years, however, he will himself be
retired, and it is to be hoped that by that
time the last vestige of the corruption,
misrule, tyranny and disgraces of Radi-
calism will have passed into merited OBJ
livion. and Phil Sheridan will have gone
with the rest. Then the ancient prestige
of the American people will be restored,
and the army will have for its command
ing General an officer somewhat worthy
to be the successor of Washington and

A movement is on foot-and. strange

A movement is on fOot-and, strange
to say, it meets with favor even among
naturalized foreigners themselves-to
place severe restrictions around foreign
immigration. Mr.. Jarrett, the Chairman
of the Labor Convention recently in
session in Philadelphia, declared himself
in favor of placing a premium on every
head that comes to this country to take
bread and butter out of the American
wOrkingman's mouth at lower wages
He is himself an Englishman, and is
President of a labor association largely
composed of foreigners.
On this subject the Philadelphia Press
expresses itself as follows: "There are a
number of reasons why it would be bet
ter for the country if our foreign arrivals
came in at a more moderate rate than at
present 1t is not desirable to have large
communities with population in which
the fOrcign element, language and
thought preponderates over or even ap-
prOximates to the native. In Dakota, in
1880, the native and foreign whites of
twenty-one years and over were just
about equal, the foreigners being little
ahead. At present, if the foreigners
were all naturalized they would Outvote
the natives by considerable majority.
The native whites in Nevada over
twenly-one are but 81 per cent, while
the foreign born are 45 per cent. of the
total number Of male adults. In Min
nesota there are 81, 900 more adult male
foreigners than native In Wisconsin
the foreign male adults exceed the ma
tive Americans over twenty-one by
40. OOO."

The solicitor Of the Treasury recently
had referred to him the question whether
tbe selling Of a counterfeit United States

Ravuer has given the opinion that the
law docs prohibit the sale or gift of coun-
terfeit money. at is true" says the
Solicitor, ''the statute uses the words
with intent to defraud.' The probability
Is the law would presume an intent to
defraud where profit is realized from the
commission of what it declares TO be a
crime. Every person selling or giving
awav counterfeit money must judge OF
his liability under the law. An execu-
tive officer cannot define the circum-
stances by which an intent to defraud is
TO be presumed on the one hand or to be
rebutted on the other hand.

''But what is the political testament of

or any other State are assumed to be the
heirs" inquiries that able Radical organ,
the New York Times. eff the term Re
publican be not sufficiently definite we
shall certainly not increase its signifi-
canoe by lacking on to it words without
significance on the plane of craftsmanship
and without interest to the great body of
men who are waiting for some real ad-
vance in Republican doctrine and prac-
tice." We have been trying to make
out whether Blaine has the lost "testa-
ment" in his breeches pocket or "Chet"
has locked it up. We cordially agree
with the Times that the term 'Republi-
can" is quite comprehensive, but it has
some how or other gotten to be synony-
nous with "thieving" As this is
vulgar use of the term, however, our
chaste contemporary Is careful to avoid it.
