Reputation in virginia.

RICHMOND, Va, June 22.-The de-
sire of the people to rid themselves OF
the debt question by cutting 1t down is
growing rapidly. The press outside OF
Virginia has go generously denounced
all parties In the State as favoring re-
pudiation that the people are FESTIVE
and becoming callous, and the hard
times and the continued struggles OF
the bondholders to force coupons upon
the collectors are exasperating many.
That an out.and ont Reputation party
may be the result Is probable.

The bewilderment and helplessness displayed
by the water department over yesterdays ac-
cident is not calculated to inspire confidence in
the vigilance or the intelligence of the super
vision exercised over the water supply. When
after many hours delay the nature and extent
of the break has been ascertained, it is discov-
cred that the valve intended TO stop off the
water in the broken pipe is so rusted that it
cannot be turned. and that there is absolutely
no way of stopping the flow in this pipe but by
shutting oil the whole city supply coming
through all three of the pipes. Then again it is
ascertained. after further delay, that no pro-
vision whatever has been made for appliances
10 mend a break of this kind, that is liable to
occur at any time. And so the safety and
health of a whole city is imperilled while the
aqueduct officials are pottering about, trying to
get the rusty valve to operate and ransacking
the northern cities for material TO patch the
broken pipe II Is to be hoped that when this
break is repaired the aQueduct people will con-
descend to investigate the condition of the
water works all along the line, and see if there
are any more rusty valves defective pipes
or sources OF water pollution. At the same time
let them overhaul and replenish their stock of
repairing material. In short, let them drop the
study "How not TO do it, and take lesson or
two in the opposite direction.
