Water and Health.

1t is understood that number of the
affairs will visit Great Falls to-day for
tho purpose of deciding what measures
ought TO DO taken to put stop to the
flow of polluted water from the canal
into the mouth Of the conduit, thence to
the mouths of 100000 consumers of Po-
tomac water.
This action ia TO be taken in compliance
with tho suggestion of THE REPUBLICAN,,
which first called attention to tho evil
existing at that point and demanded its
abatement. Tho spokesmen of the au-
thorities have vainly attempted, by con-
oealment and falsehood, to prevent any
remedial measures, but the pressure has
been so strong that the negligent officials
have been compelled to yield, and pollu-
tion of the Potomac water at the source
of supply is now to DO guarded against.
While the officials arc on their way 20
Great Falls, THE REPUBLICAN, hopes
they will not neglect TO examine tho
upper ond OF tho receiving reservoir,
where tho water is polluted while IL is
supposed to be undergoing u process of
publication II would he desirable also

IF IL be true as stated aud believed,
that Secretary Lamar has appointed a
fourth class clerk without requiring the
formality Of civil service examination,
he has violated the law, directly and in
tontionally. Any appointment to tho
classified service, unless made in accord
ance with the civil service rules, is an
unlawful act, and no such appointment
can have been mado without a clear in
tent to violate law. If this can be passed
over, there is an end to all hope Of pre-
serving the civil service law under a
Democratic administration.

At their supplementalsession on satur.
day the regents of Mount Vernon
awarded the contract for rebuilding the
wharf to j. r. Robert. of this city, and
tho contract for repairing tho house to II.
X. Bradshaw and W. II. Burgess, Of Alex
andria. Mr.. Burgess was employed in
constructing tho tomb of Washington,
aud can toll an interesting story of the
removal Of the remains to tho present
resting place On that occasion the body,
before being exposed to the air, retained
it's form. The contract for repairing the
tomb will probably be given him.
4 number Of flowers were placed in the
tomb by tho regents on Decoration day,
besides the wreath and other offerings
which were sent there. Mrs. T.. B. Wash
ington WAS presented by Mr.. S. A. With
crbee with dag, which hos been donated
to Mount Vernon. The regents presented
CDl. lIolingsworth with highly compli-
mentary testimonial upon his retiremont
from the position Of superintendent.

THE REPUBLICAN is informed that, at
the last meeting of the Cabinet, the quos-
tion of removals was discussed and all tho
heads of departments except Secretary
Endicott favored something in the nature
of o clean sweep" He declared that no
would not consent to such policy, but
would run his department on business
principles. 1t is evident that the Presi-
dent is yielding to the tremendous pres

have continued to neglect their duties and
would have permitted vaults, stables, hog

have resulted if the exposure had not boon

Until Falls Branch can he prevented
from flowing into tho receiving reservoir
the reservoir should not he used. Better
take the water with little mud in it
than have it polluted while settling.
Fitoring is not difficult, and mud is
preferable to disease germs
THE REPUBLICAN did not cntor upon
this water controversy in order 10 crafty
any personal feeling. II was not and iS
not our purpose to help or hurt any
official. From tho 9Th ult to this date
we have at no inconsiderable cost carried
forward the work of exposing the i'm
purity Of tho water and the causes there
Of. In this We have been ably seconded
by the Ercaing star and Con. II. V. Boyn
ton. The authorities having at length
shown disposition to remedy the evil
exposed, we can safely give them thu
necessary timo to do so. As we dosirt
only the public good, We shall not be lcC

who have deceived him into appointing
