PURE WATER.

Everywhere the cry is coming up for pure
water. Water pollution is getting to be a
terror of overshadowing magnitude. Until a
paratiyely, recent period, but little at
tention was paid to the character Of water in
use. Quantity, and not quality was the great
consideration. People died from mysterious
and unknown causes, but at last the 1eath
rate was found to be frightfully increased by
the use of filthy, polluted water. Nearly ev-
cry city is now greatly exercised in regard
to their water supplies. The sources OF sup
ply are found to be impregnated with pollu-
ting sewerage.
In view of probable cholera visitation
next year, there is deep feeling everywhere
amounting almost to panic, in regard to
the pollution of water supplied to cities for
family use. New York, Brooklyn, Boston,
Philadelphia, Washington and numerous 9th
er cities have been deeply moved, and in
deed, alarmed, at the poluling sewage, and
dead animals introduced into their water
supplies. And now comes Albany, n. Y
The Times of that city, sounds the alarm as
follows:
We are to have more OF the river water. There
is no use talking about it. The water commits
sioners are aulocra1s, from whose decision there
is no appeal IL they de ide 10 give W 70 drink
of the sewage of Troy, dia ed with the sewage Of
Albany we are TO hold our noses, open our
mouths and gulp it down, There is this thing 10
be said of the river water; there is plenty OF it..
such 1t is, and IL can be had for the expense OF
pumping. Any other system would involve much
greater expense to begin with, although II Is
probable that rome supply that would do away
with the uumping might be cheaDer in the and
II is claimed, moreover, that an additional supply
is needed at once, and IN other way can IL be
had immediately except from the river. This, II
is said, need not necessarily be permanent. ana
next summer, alter a few hundreds have died of
cholera, and there lie panic on the subject per-
haps the river supply will be abandoned and
some more rational system adopted. The cholera

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-It Is apparently to
be holiday market in stocks from this on.
The interest has suddenly gone out OF the
crowd Prices this morning opened within
fraction OF last nights close, then weak
eued and looked tired, but picked up again
and displayed considerable strength. Della
ware & Lackawsnna had many ups and
downs, with a big business in IT, Work,
Strong & Co. bought considerable Oregon,
ani must have accumulated good deal of
stock. They get little outside support, as
It Is anything but a favorite. Some
lines Of shorts in Northern Pacific preferred
were covered to-day. What little gossip Is
ahoat concerns the "coalers." Everybody
is talking cheap coal, and the Streets divided
in sentiment as to the policy of the Lehigh
company's rushing in 10 do business at any
rates and regardless Of prices. The repre-
sentatiyes Of the differeu. coal-prOdueing
companies met to-day at the Office
of the Delaware & Hudson Canal
building to discuss new pooling arrange
meut which should limit the production aud
ix the price of coal. It adjourned without
accomplishing anything so far, but the facts
that the feeling was amicAble and that there
was no breach OF the peace, encourages the
holders Of coal stocks TO believe that there

Deacon White is out in another newspaper
interview, in which be declares that he IS

There was q large amount of Western

Fof suffering, growing out Of a recent female

and with refined and pleasant face. who

standing she sank down unconscious several
times, until the end Of the race, scoring

exhausted condition at the finish, and had
to be taken to the hospital, where she grew
somewhat better. Upon leaving the hospi-
tai she was given home in family at Hud-

Her health getting no better, she came TO
Cleveland and secured a position In fam

was found UPON the floor, her face
black and eyes protruding, and the whole
appearance Of the greatest agony. Physi-
clans were called, aud all the aid possible
furnished, but without having much influence
upon her suferings, which are terrible. The
physicians claim that the fits are epiIeptic in
their character, and brought on by strain 20

was not true TO his professions. The
Republicans are mad because they could not
entrap the temperance vote, and fall 70
abusing ST. John in their unholy rage. They
assert they viii never do anything more for
Prohibition. There is principlel Still they
never have done anything as party, though
they have painted the country red, as It
were, with fslse pretenees. The Democratic
party has never been hypocriticai on this
question; the Republican party has, aud not
having fooled anybody is the thing that
hurts.
No eulogy Of St. John is hereby INDUCED.
He has been Republican Governor aud q

now the quality Of the grand old party from
which be has come out, and has received q
lesson from them which be viii not soon for

but he turns up gentleman OF responsibility
and character, and genuine worth as a cti-

THE CRUSADE ON NJ. JOHN.

The abuse heaped upon ST. John, the Pro-
hibition candidate for President, by the de-
feated Republican party, still continues. The
accusation is made that be defeated the Re-
publican candidate, and they refuse to be
rcconciled to the defeat. They want
victim on whom to wreak vengeance, and
after dressing down poor Burchard, and
calling him a fool, and assigning other
reasons for the defeat, wrath is concentrated
on St. John, and all possible indignities are
heaped upon him that language can invent.
He has been burned in efigy; various crimes
are charged upon him, mean domestic
scandal limited at, which has called forth 8
vindcatory statement from his son; be is
accused of being 4 hard drinker, in
his home be is boycotted and cut dead; be
is charged with offering to sell out to the
Republicans and finally with accepting
SO, 900 from the Democrats to remain in
the field.
st. John has published letter demanding
the name of any one who charges him with
bargain and sale, intimating very clearly
that he who retails the SANDER, be he editor,
or public officer, must give the name Of his
informer or he himself be held personally
responsible.
The exasperated Republicans declare with
terrible heat that Prohibitionists shall never
again receive courtesy at their hands, This
is something very dreadful.
1t is quite well known that Republicans
have knavishly tried to scoop up Prohibition
votes under the false pretense of favoring
their principles, by introducing hollow plati-
tudes into their platforms. In this regard
the Republicans have tricked the nominee.
They have kept the word of promise TO the
ear only to be broken to the hope. They are
wholly insincere and deceitful. The Prohi-
bitionists being fully aware of this, of course
refused to trust their fair words and placed
no reliance upon them.
The Democrats make no pretence of favor
ing Prohibition, but as to the principles of
Temperance, FER Sc, in their professions they
are reliable though they do not resort IN false
clap-trap that characteristics the Republicans.
Professed Prohibitioaists themselves, the Re-
puhlicans are untrue TO their professions,

THE GLOBE ANNUAL REVIEW.

Every year since its existence the GLOBE
has issued, on the 31st of Decem Der, an an
nual review of the trade, growth and progress
of st. Paul for the year just closing. These re-
views have had feeble imltators but no rivals,
and the only hampering has been the lack
of mechanical facilities to meet the popular
demand for extra copies of the publication.
During the past year the mechan-
ical facilities of the GLOBE have
been made superior to those of any other
paper west of Chicago, and a magnificent
new building, erected expressly for the
GLOBE, which will be occupied before this
publication, will make the GLOBE equipped
equal to any paper in the United States, and
at an expense only INDUCED in by the lead
ing and most thoroughly established journals
of the country.
The great Advancement of the GLOBE in
1884, which places 1t upon such q magnih-
cent footing, is simply commensurate with
the great advancement of St. Paul, and an
effort will be made to furnish an annual re-
view of which every citizen can be proud.
The size of the edition, both In number OF
copies printed and in the number of pages
used, depends entirely upon the de-
mands of the business public. The GLOBE
can meet any demands upon its space that
can be made, but III preparing for so great
an edition as is sure to be made, some time
must be allowed for arrangement, and those
who would secure choice locations for their
early. The first applicants can, of course
have the choice, and the GLOBE trusts all Of
its friends, which comprises the entire pub
lie, viii aim to be first in securing advertis-
ing positions.

OF the possibly myriad times that Flotow's

from q musical point OF view. The Boston
Ideal Opera company gave 1t at the Grand
last night, and IL was as evident as that

deal of conscientious study contributed to
the successful result II, as is said, this
season is to be its last and the company Is,
therefore, showing some indifference In its
work, the efforts Of last night should 90 far
70 prove the contrary. The singers Of the
cast, including the chorus, acquitted them
selves beyond expectation. The announce
ment made from the stage before the curtain
rose, regarding the hoarseness Of Mr.. Tom
Karl, seemed quite unnecessary, as his sing
ing was clearer and stronger than usual. Some
others might probably take the same kind of
cold. There are artists whose physique and
voice have a kind of peculiar fitness for GER
tain roles, as those Of Miss Mathilde Phillips
seem particularly well suited 70 the part of
Nancy. Miss Marie Stone assumed grace
fully the part of Lady Harriet, and sang
''The Last Rose of Summer with more than
the usual effect of this favorite song. Mr..
Whitney gave an admirable impersonation OF
Fluukett. His superb bass was particularly
admired In the duet in the first act, and the
chorus, as before remarked, distinguished
itself by singing in excellent time and tune,
and with uncommonly intelligent spirit. The
eostuming also deserves 4 word Of commend
alton, il was so sgreeabiy different from the
"stockn stuff usually seen. In fine, the rep
resentation went far to lift the old work out
Of the hackneyrd groove into which Il has sc
commonly fallen.

fairs. Certain it is his influence is no lon
ger potent in Reichstag Qegisiature). NJ otion
after motion in which he had personal in
terest and stake has been decisively voted
down. And last OF all a measure of peculiar
personal interest to the Chancellor was
strongly voted down by an emphatic
negative. The Chancellor made application
for another assistant in bis office. He made
the application on his oath that 1t was neces-
sary, positively intimating that a refusal TO
grant such additional assistance would quite
embarrass and distress him aud ventured

reasonable request might result in depriv-

Notwithstanding all this the motion TO grant
