DRUNK AGAIN.-Last Thursday the
marshal met Jim Levins on the street
in his familiar old-time state of inebriety
and took from him bottle of alcohol.
As he was not too drunk to navigate he
was allowed to go home. The next
day it was learned that he was in a
state of beastly in.oxication at home,
and had another bottle of his fayorite
beverage. He was accordingly arrested
and brought to town. and pleading
guilty to the charge of drunkenness was
fined So and costs, with imprisonment
in jail until paid. 1t was learned that
the alcohol was procured for him Che
being on the black list by one Thomas
Trollope, living north of Lancaster.
Trollope was accordingly arrested and
tried before Justice Lowry, Monday, on
the charge of procuring liquor for a
prohibited person. He was found guilty
and fined IS and costs, amounting to
something over Sl3 which he paid.

Pertinent to tho important oonsidera-
tion in government circles as to how best
to improve our national defenses, is a
worry valuable document, which, in the
lator days of the last session of Congress
was brought into tho House, with the
unanimous approval OF the committee on
military affairs, but which has only re-
Gently been received from the public
printer.
The committee had heard statements
from the chief Of ordnance, and
tho testimony of others respecting
heavy ordnance, and, after consid-
ering the whole subject, the COM
mittee arrived at the conclusion that the
best interests OF the country demand that
such tests be made as will enable us to
determine the highest attainable stand
ard of heavy ordnance, and that the law
should require uniformity in the calibers,
construction, and projectiles used in all
services, and inducements should be held
out to private parties to compete for su'
periority.
Emphasizing its own conclusions, the
House committee adopts and freely quotes
from an able report made to the Senate
sixteen years previously by the military
committee of that body, which exhibit
conditions of weakness and lack of pro
gross equally true Of tho present time a
of sixteen years ago, when the late Soma
tor Howard made his report.
From this 1t appears that "notwith

Our Water supply.

In order to set ut rost all doubt rs to
tho character of the water consumed in
this city THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
on the igth instant procured three sam
pies Of water for analysis by Prof II. w.
Wiley, Of tho agricultural department.
The samples were obtained by Mr.. Dc
witte, city editor, assisted by Mr. Muir
head, clerk in the counting room Of this
Office. Ono sample was taken from the
river above tho source Of pollution, ono
from tho canal whonco the pollution
occurs, and the other from the mouth OF
the conduit.
Tho analysis, so far as results have
been reached, is printed in another
column, rs nre the certificates OF tho gem
tlemen connected with this paper who
have personally Investigated tho scene
and causes of the pollution, and who pro-
cured tho samples.
Although tho analysis has not yet been
completed IL has progressed far enough to
prove that tho alleged pollution actually
exists. Whether the condition Of the
water IS really dangerous to health is to
be determined by more complete analysis,
but enough is shown to prove that the
warning given by THE REPUBLICAN on
the 9th instant was not premature.
The time for contemptuous triAing
with this most serious matter by the Dis.
trict authorities is past They have gono
too far already in that unwise direction.
We are advised that u delegation OF
leading citizens will call upon the Presi.
dent to urge prompt action in this matter
and to suggest that an immediate change

as this, would be genuine reform-not on

people when reduced to the practical test Of
legislation.
IL pleasant, Mr.. President, to be able to
state to you that of oil the men who have
sought Office, who have vi sited Washington in
person or by representative, some of whom,
angered by disappointment, have freely ex-
pressed themselves in the corridors of the
hotels, through the press, and in the privacy
of social life, not one has been heard to charge
you with making promises and falling TO keep
them. This could not be truly said OF some OF
| your near predecessors, and, ifrumor istrue, Of
the illustrious Higgins, the appointment
clcrk of the Treasury Department. The
country will be pleased, also, to learn
that your Pilgrim stock is dominating
over the Cavaliers Of your Cabinet especially
in the case of your premier, to the extent of
causing him to take the advanced position
which you assumed regarding the black man
in your inaugural address. You cannot
have forgotten, Mr. President, that on
n late interesting OCCASION when you
visited the deaf muto college, upon pre-
sentation day Secretary Bayard made the
speech for the administration, while tho
chief executive was mute. In this speech
the Secretary discoursed upon the great advan'
tages OF the college With singular eloquence
and fervor, in the midst Of which he exclaimed
"who will deny the benefits Of this institution
to any one, no matter what his previous con-
dtion, race, or color" Do not, therefore, be
tions OF your inaugural address You will dc
patriotic work for your country and benefit the
lowliest citizen of the republic. Even If such
a course should end in tho disruption of the
Democratic party your administration may
prove national blessing.
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
National Republican., 1885-05-23

The honeymoon of the new adminstra-
tion is over. Everybody had good wishes for
the President and his Cabinet upon their en-
try upon the difhcult path OF assuming charge
of the national government; everybody hoped
for the best, and political opponents even were
disposed TO Judge the first steps not too harshly,
but rather acknowledge the good to be found
in all measures tending, apart from party OBJ
very first II was evident that the Republican
press, and the masses of the Republican party
were more leniently inclined toward the Presi-
dent than the Democratic press and his own
party; the former looked upon him as a guest
whom the people had invited to preside az tho
white house, who was to be treated with con-
sideratiOn, and to be encouraged whenever II
was possible to do so.
These happy times OF congratulatiOn and ad-
miration are over. Mr.. Cleveland has been

We have already pointed out the impropriety
OF the appointment of Mr.. Lang, of Texas, to
the consulship at Hamburg giving our reasons
and showing how almost the entire German
press including that OF his own state, protested
Agains. the appointment.
The President has since then made another
appointment, which must be considered as
completing the other, and rs renewed effort
TO further southern aims in the present state of
the country. In this case, too, an important
consular post was to be illled--that OF Bremen.
And who was appointed 2 ono Albert Looming.
n resident, it is true, of New York, but whose
business interests center in Texas cattle and

for the two points at which almost the entire

leaving the Fathcrland men are
selected AS representatives OF the United
States whose interest are not In the northern
but in the extreme southern portion Of the
country Is II an accident?
1t would be maniiestly unjust to charge the
President with any particular intent in that
respect; nor do we look for any such far
reaching purposes from him. But
