Water Pollution,

A portion of the water supply OF
Boston is from the Sudbury river.
This stream has recently become i'm
pure from the growth of the town Of
Marlboro. Within twenty-five years
this town has increased from less than
100 to 10000 inhabitants. 1t has been
built up by the boot and shoemaklng
trade. The drainage of this town is
poured into the river, and Boston, in
consequence, suffers from the fouling
of its drinking water. Jersey City,
Newark, and other towns, have long
drawn their water supply from the
Passaic river, but the growth of the
manufacturing industries, especially
in Patterson, has made the Passaic
unfit for human uses. In n few years
scores of other growing cities will be
suffering from contaminated water.
This is a matter of such vital impor-
tance to the health of the community
as to call for prompt attention from
the state and national governments.
The sewage of our growing towns
should not be poured into tho streams,
but should be diverted to nearby
farms, where it could be utilized for
the crops. This is done in the town
of Pullman, Illinois, where very re-
markablc results have been obtained
by forcing the sewage through tun-
nels to lands miles away from the
town. The sewage of Paris is utilized
in the same way. For long time
there have been sewage farms at
Gennevillicrs, and the city is establish
ing new farm upon the lower por-
tion of the forest of Saint German and
its contiguous meadow lands. The
land to be used has an area of 200
acres, and includes, besides 4 part of
the forest, two large farms and some
small lots. The government of the
republic grants the title directly to
the city of Paris. which binds itself TO
pay all the expenses and rebuild the
police stations which it is necessary to
remove in order to erect the irrigation
works. The details of the scheme for
the disposing of the sewage are to be
approved by the state government.
The city does not acquire permanent
interest in the land, but has a lease Of
twenty years duration, and pays Il
rental of $40 an acre each year, but
has the privilege of acquiring title by
purchase at any time before the twenty
years has expired, for 100000. This
latter provision is to protect the city
in case the experiment does not prove
to be 4 success. All cities should have
similar works, for it is monstrous to
waste the fertile ingredients in the
sewage of great city by turning
it into n ncighboring stream or bay.
a double wrong is done, for the fer
tilizing materials are wasted, and the
waters are polluted and made injurious
to human health and life. -DcmOrcSfS

Cainc and the Ellers.

At the Mormon convention ycStcr-

LoUiS Giojc-D Democrat, the Endorsement
of Caine by the polygamists was with
wry faces and indications that they
felt they were losing their grip. A. NJ.

polygamist, said great injustice had
been done the old crowd by placing
the political power of the territory in
the hands of those who had not the
manhood to embrace all the gospel
and live up to the highest law that had
been given to the saints. "Who are
the friends of this territory? Who
endured sacrifices, and gave their lives
and money and friends to establish
this kingdom? Who fought, bled and
died to forward the provincial state
cf Dcscrct but we? Who have lived

Fiscal Burdens.

In the last twenty-five years the ua-
tional debts have increased from $l3,-
0OO,OCO,OOO to S2S,OOO, 100000 This is
apart from municipal and corporate
indebtedness, which, during the past
quarter of century, have been added
to prodigiously The only nations
that have succeeded in getting rid of
any part of their national obligations
are the United States and Great
Britain. We are liquidating our ma
tional Indebtedness at a rate uLeXam-
pied in the history Of the world. Great
Britain $ debt was greatest just at the
close of the Crimcan war, when it
amounted to fS2j, 100000 sterling.
At last accounts it was E7S3, 600, 900,
The Egyptian war, however, will
probably add another E2j, 100000 to
the national debt of Great Britain. But
in all the rest of the world there is n
steady and immense increase in the ma
.tional debts, as well as in corporate OBJ
legations. Capitalists and the bond
holders are growing in Importance
and power, due to the rapid increase
of national and corporate indebted
ness. We hear much of the reign of
the people, but the real rulers Of ma.
tions to-day are the plutocrats, the
great bankers, moncy-lcndcrs and
creditors of the government, and the
great corporations. There will be a
revolt some day against this unnatural
domination, and general agree
ment will be come TO to ropudiate ma
tional debts. The only foremost ma
tion which seems likely to honor all its
obligations is the United States of
America. Democrats Monthly for No

The year 1884, thus far, has been

sion, and, as Il matter of course, rail-
way construction, which requires large
expenditures of capital and depends
much on the state of public confidence,
has shown Il considerable falling of
compared with the years Of general
prosperity, says Tie Raiiwdy Age.
The great competing lines whose con
struction during the active years of
lSSO-l-2.3 ran the total amount of new
track up to remarkable figures were
nearly all completed at the end of
1888, and the work during the present
year has been mainly confined to the
building of branches, and of short in
dependent lines. 1t is doubtless well
for the country that the building of
great trunk lines parallel to existing
roads has received check, but the
continued construction OF roads to
supply regions not already reached by
railway is not only desirable, but a
necessity, and the work accomplished
so far this year in this respect indi-
Gates that the building of such road,

ry, not only believes in evolution, but
advocates it in his lectures to divinity
students, and declares that it is in ac-
cord or rather not in contradiction, to
the orthodox faith, He believes in
the miraculous origin of life, but asserts
that the evolution found ..in nature is
Gods method of creation. Various
Presbyterian synods have discussed DR..
Windrow's theories with a view of de-
claring them heretical, but it has been

Kings and queens Of the ripened yearl
Bright with the first autumnal rains
And earliest suns, We find you here,
Not in the groves do you hold your court,
Rather your haunts are the hillsides bare
The lonely lanes and the ruined fort,
And the waysldc banks your liycries wear
Lanccs Of crimson and spears Of gold,
And crowns of purple and silver sheen,
All of the waysldc nooks now hold,
Marshalcd against their living green.
Over your ranks the barberry leans
Waving its fingers Of royal red,
And the wild vine mingles its tender greens
With the flame Of the woodblnc overhead.
Where is the painter can match your dyesl
Who, with such royal largcss, fling
The rarcst tints where the fewcst eyes
May find them out and their praises sing!

Fresh Fish Food.

A step forward, and very import
ant one in the distribution of food
fish, has been taken in the running of
n fast train between New York and
Boston. 1t is a curious but indis-
putablo fact that our country with its
long coast line and with supply of
fish which, both in variety and flavor,
surpasscs that of any other country in
the world, has hitherto done so little
to supply consumers with fish that
are fresh and palatable. Outside Of
Fulton Market there isn't to-day in
New York city a single restaurant
where an epicurc can 90 with an as
surance of ordering fish that is not
ancient and flavorless. In many parts
of Europe the sale of fish that are not
alive in tanks is forbidden by law,
and, If we are not mistaken, the same
prohibition prevails in Japan and is
rightly enforcej.-NeU Haven Netos.

wct. irst organized they met with
much opposition. The Royal Society
was organized in London, in 1920, and
very hard time it had to live at all.
Many of its original members were so
poor as to be unable to pay the sub
scription rate of one shilling per week.
Among those excused from tho pay
mcnt OF this tax because of poverty was
Isaac Newton, who subsequently, in
1856, laid before the Royal Society the
original manuscript of his famous
"Principia." Sir John Hill wrote n
quarto volume to set forth the crimes,
hercscs and conspiracies of the Royal
Society, and clergymen, physicians and
fellows of the universities joined in the
hue and cry against them. Although
their studies were confined to purely
scientific topics, such as mathematics,
astronomy, physics, and the like, they
were suspected of designs against
church and state and the morals OF the
community.-DcmoreSts Monthly for
