NELSON j. LEE, the Temperance

people of Bridgeport, rnnecticut, and
dishonesty tilching from them money
under the plea of temperance, will hard

Our friend Reynolds, who is personally

THE Water Commission is apparent
Y resting on its oars and taking things
quietly. Mr.. Paynter rides around oc-
casionally in a carriage in a contem.
plative mood, Mr.. Rodney is busy with
orders and arranging the details OF the
fibre mandatory, and Mr. Porter is
looking after the excellent chilled rolls
his firm has the reputation of making,
no doubt thoroughly chilled with his
little bit of experience in politics. As
to the Chief Engineer of the Water
Works, nobody seems to know where
he is, but it is suggested that he keeps
shady as 1t is somewhat disagreeable to
be taunted with want Of pluck in not
reaching out and gathering in the office
he was sure to have in his possession rs
far back as April. In the meantime
the city has an abundance Of water
without any change in the administra-
ton of the Water Works. Every time
a spigot is turned the water gushes
forth in pure and plentiful stream,
and at less cost than it can be furnished
by q Water Commission. What more
do our people need in the way of water ?

Prepare TO Meet Diseases.

When Charles H. Gallagher was a
member Of the City Council and wa.
chairman Of the Street Committee, a
yellow fever scare took place and not
without good reason, for the plague had
worked its way up the Mississippi to
Memphis, which italmost depopulated,
and there were isolated cases of it in the
cities nearer home, even one or two in
our own bearing strong resemblance
to the dreaded plague. Of course
everybody was scared, and awaited
with trembling forebodings of alarm
day by day the time " hen the disease
would show itself in earnest in Viii.
mington.
The alarm took place just on the eve
of AN important city election, and the
City Council conceived the happy idea
of employing several hundred men one
week or more if necessary In giving
the streets, alleys and lanes of the city
a thorough cleaning. 1t cost the city
some two thousand dollars or there
abOuts to do it, but it was etfectual
and the people had the benefit of il.
The movement was charged upon. Mr..
Gallagher and the City Council as a
political measure for the purpose of CO.
ercing voters employed in working on
the streets into voting the Republican
ticket. We do not know whether there
were grounds for the charge or not, nor
does it make particle Of difference !;
but we do know that the city for once
received thorough cleansing which
it much needed, and who knows that
by this very transaction the dreaded
scourge of yellow fever may have been
warded from our midst. Yellow fever
had visited the city befor" and was
liable to visit it again, and it is still
liable to he visited by any devastiDg
scourge that visits any other city. The
cholera, a former visitant, has broken
out in Egypt,is slowly working its way
along the courses OF trade to Europe
which when it once reaches its trans
mission to our own shores becomes an
easy possibility The only way to
check the onward march of the dreaa
destroyer is by preparing to meet it..
There is no city election now pending
and the City tounci could not spend a
little money more .judlcously than by
employing IA large force of workmen to
completely cleanse the city. Such a
precaution might save hundreds Of
lives. There is nothing like preparing
for war in time of peace, and Just now
is the peaceful time when little pre-
caution and moderate expense will do
good, how much none can tell. But
with the fear OF the approach of the
yellow fever and cholera, let cleanli-
ness be the rule in the government OF
the city as well as in individual life and
practice There are many places in the
city that are prolific in breeding lnala.
rial diseases and are open for the vista
ton of worse scourges. These pest
breeding places should be Immediately
looked after by the Board Of Health and
the City Council should work hand in
hand III abatiug the nuisances and in
putting the city in a proper sanitary
condition regardless Of the expenditure
OF a thousand or two dollars which pale
into insignitcanre when compared with
the number of human lives that may be
saved by doing 50.

THE WICKED, sinful lit lie " bang, -
that hung so bewitchingly over the fore
heads of pretty girls has got to 60. Not
only have several Catholic prelates
preached against the mischievous thing
but they have at last issued orders to
have il suppressed-entirely squeIched
out. Following this comes orders
from the Chief Of the Secret Service Di-
vision of the Treasury Department that
the bang in imitation CT gold and
silver coins must be suppressed. No
particular reason seems to be given
why the bang must CO. but we sup
pose there must be some good reason
for il or orders would not be issued
against it both from the pulpit and the

Remedy for Cholera.

Dr. Herring, of Philadelphia, is re-
presented as saying that -four of sulphur
placed in the shoes of person is an ex-
cellent preventative Of cholera. He
may be right, but we think that the
preservation of health depends great
deal more upon the character Of the ar

character Of the articles placed in con-
