most fatal, Rain water is usually regarded
as the purost of all waters, but it is not SO it,
after passing over crowded oltios it is not
thoroughly iltratcd before IL is used.
The water supply of Washington comes
from the upper Potomac river. That it is
not pure water is so evident as TO noed no ar
gument. 1t has many ingredients in it
which are not healthy, but all of these can be
removed easily by having the water before it
is delivered in the city passed through a
proper system of filtration. Good water
should not contain more than 1.5 organic
matter to the gallon, and total of solids not
more than 30 or 80 grains per gallon. This
sort of water can easily be obtained in Wash
ington from the present source of supply by
the use of proper means of filtration.
Water grows puror as it flows by oxidation
ofimpurities and tho deposition of sediments.
The source of our water supply is excellent
but the water before it reaches the city should
pass through such filtration reservoirs as will
free it from all impurities. .A
National Republican., 1883-08-11
Democratic Harmony.

Tho harmonious growth of the republican
party adds fuel to the flames Of discord in
the democratic ranks. The pivotal states of
the east and west are in a situation quite
satisfactory to the republicans In Ohio there
is unanimity and concord in every republi-
can county. The strong formation of the
lines, the intrcpidity and confidence of the
leaders, the surety, If not certainty, of sue
cess-all these tend to discourage and weaken
the democratic organization. Already weak
ened by internal dissension, because of the
shrewd practice by means Of which Judge
Hoadly was nominated, they are well nigh
hopeless although tho conflict has not yet
begun. A faction of no small proportions is
making war upon Mr.. Pcndloton. The same
faction is bitterly denouncing Mr.. Groesbeck
and all others who proclaim themselves as
friendly to Mr. Pendeton and his civil SER
vice measures. The republicans have nom
mated man particularly eligible on tho
ground Of influence, integrity, and political
purity. They are wholly united in his sup
port, and will probably elect him by a ma
!iority large enough to surprise oven the most
sanguine.
In the pivotal state of the east New York,
a singular condition prevails. The differ
ences which have existed in the republican
party have been buried. Men have mutually
conceded their personal preferences in de-
termination to work the veal of the common
wealth and the nation. Just at this time,
when the democracy of the Empire state most
needed the balm of fraternity, the old core
of Hancock, Tilden, and Dana is raked up,
and the oflenses of each are paraded in the
public press. AS soon as the name of Mr.
Tilden's friend and defender is mentioned
the New York SUI exclaims that "Judge
Birdsalps name ends the matter" and re-
moves it to "the region of the contemptible.'
Democratic harmony in the east is oqualed
only by the harmony which exists in that
party in the west. They are like the parrot
and monkey in the great parlor contest. The
democratic party is very harmonious body
upon the one great axiom that " to the victorS
belong the spoils." How to become "victors'
is what puzzles them, and their efforts in that
direction are mobilize.

oso fans arc usually made Of paper, parch
mont, cotton, or silk cloth.
The prices of Japanese fans run from one
cent to ten dollars, according to quality
What are called dress FANS used by ladies in
this and other countries, are mostly made in
France. They vary in price from twenty-five
cents to fifteen or twenty dollars. The French
lace fans, with handles of mother of pearl
cost from $50 to $3.50. Vienna also manufac
lures great number of fans which range in
price from twenty-five cents to ten or fifteen
dollars.
The manufacture of fans in this country
has not as yet assumed very large proportions.
The larger portion made are of the cheaper
grades In nearly all of the southern states
an abundance of species of bamboo is in
digenous which can be easily made into the
cheaper sort of fans, and, with continuance
of the present interest for new industries
manufactured in those states, this may, ere
long, become q largo industry.
There is one fan peculiar to this country
known rs the extension fan. Alarge number
are made and sold at home, while quito a
number find q ready market abroad, and es-
pecially in England.

Good WINTER.

THE REP UBLTcAN has been persistent in
discussing those subjects of hygiene which
affect the heal til and comfort of the citizens
of the national capital, The natural advan-
tages of Washington are unsurpassed by any
city on the continent. 1t has been made, by
liberal and wise appropriations, tho hand
soonest, most convenient, aud desirable place
of residence in the country. The population
is increasing with rapidity unparalleled in
its history, and the improvements in the way
of private dwellings bid fair soon to equal
the magnifcence of its public buildings. Con-
gress has been wisely liberal in its care of the
capital of the nation, and it now remains for
it to sec that everything is done which is
possible to make Washington as healthy as
science and care can devise.
The paucity of the water supply will no
doubt soon be remedied. This will settle the
water question as far as quantity is con-
cerned, but there is still far more important
point, and that is the quality of tho water
supply, Every adult requires as an indispen-
sable necessity from twenty to forty fluid
ounces of pure water day in warm weather
We say pure water, by which is meant water
free from carbonate sulphate, or chloride OF
calcium which produce what arc known as
hard waters, and invariably produce irrita-
ton of tho stomach or bowels and followed
frequently by diseases which produce death
Worse even than these imprognations art
waters which have an excess of organic
matter produced by sewerage from unwhole
some places, such as stock yards and ceme
tories, This sort of water produces typhoi(
fever, cholera, and other diseases which ar

pavements. London is slow in this matter,
but we are glad to see the movement. Mem
phis, switch once had eighteen miles of wooden
pavement, has abolished it and torn it up,
and the best physicians there charge the
greatest mortality, not only of ordinary dis
ease, but of the epidemics which inflicted that
city to wooden pavoments. Washington has
q few streets left which are paved with wood.
Any one who will pass over them will at
once condemn them, not only as bad pave
ments, but as breeders of sickness. The
wooden pavement must go.

shotgun Politics.

Fred. N. Ogden has been discovered by the
New Orleans Picayunc That paper nomi-
mates him, and explains how easily he can be
elected. That is all fair enough for an enter
prising and enthusiastic journal. But when
the PicdylRe extols Gen. Ogden as white
Lacquer, it carries the matter too far. When
it indorses the bloodshed and murder COM
mittcd by those ununiformed rebels it goes
beyond the point where patience can be q
virtue. The PicGytno says that "by the time
the next governor of Louisiana is inaugurated
nearly decade will have passed away since
the guns of the white league sounded here on
the whole republican scheme of reconstruc-
tion in the south" Is it not too early in tho
day to brag of murderP Is it not an invita-
tion for the establishment of what has been
termed "a strong government" when the
leading paper of state boasts of "the guns
of the white league" as q means of political
reform? 1t is possible that the Picayme fears
defeat in the next gubernatorial contest, and
is sounding the tocsin of redha nded assassi-
nation thus early in order to prepare
the shotgun. politicians for the campaign
which must ensue. These utterances of the
Picaytmo will not be forgotten as foreshadow-
ing the political future of Louisiana, neither
shall they be forgotten during the national
contest of 1884 If the democrats of Louis
lana desire to confer honors upon man for
taking part in the riotous street scenes in New
Orleans, they must do so without such blatant
braggadocia. If their campaigns are to be
conducted as riots and violent strikes, they
can be met accordingly and the legitimate
majority in Louisiana may gain the ascen-
dancy once more, Occurrences such as the
Picdyme boasts of are to be regretted, but
praise of their vilainy is lamentable.
