OF the best methods Of aileviatin. the distress

crime, of the proper modes and gradations of
punishment, and of the reformation of the

but the discussion of them by intelligent phi

suited in the opening of new avenues of employ
ment for the worthy poor. has decreased the
number OF professional mendicants, has worked
reforms i'm prison discipline, and has restored

full citizens The good results of the national
conference are found in reformatOry and re-
medal legislation adopted by the several states
As the consequence of the annual deliberations,

Democratic Congressman in quest of places
for their constituents have learned by expert
ence that the system of mutual aid by endorsing
each others petitions does not work well with
the administration. Democratic delegations
from some of the states, before the incoming of
the administration. thought to smooth the way
to office tor friends and party workers, by
avoiding all semblance of strife among them
selves. They would agree that recommends
lions for office from their state should be signed
by the entire delegation. Each member recon-
mended the men selected by his colleague with
out asking any questions about the fitness of
the parties recommended. The members of dele
CATIONS who were thus prepared to speak with
unanimity to the fitness OF candidates for
office in their respective states, fattered them
selves that they had smoothed the way to sue
cess. But by some means the President got
wind of the fact that a game of '.you tickle me
and I'll tickle YOU was being played and
that in some cases Congressman had endorsed
applicants for office of whom they knew
nothing: and it turned out that the unanimous
delegations did not get the appointments they
so confidently expected. Hence 1t Is not sur
prising that the Illinois democratic delegation
at their meeting Tuesday decided not to adopt
the unanimous plan.

The people OF Washington are to be congratu-
lated upon the fact that within short time,
perhaps within few days, the prominent
source of pollution OF the Potomac water supply
will be cut Off by stopping the leakage and
drainage OF the canal into the conduit head.
Capt. Symons is giving his entire attention at
present to the District water supply, with the
view of increasing its purity by shutting Off all
communicating influences, as far as that can be
accomplished by engineering skill His first
-labors will be performed at Great Falls, in put
ting into effect the plan hitherto detailed in
THE STAR for preventing the flow of any of the
1oui canal water into the river just above the
conduit mouth. He has all the men and appli-
ances necessary to effect the desired change,
and will set them TO work just soon as the
canal authorities indicate their formal assent.
This, 1t IL believed, will be forthcoming In day
or two, at most, as the highest canal officials
have expressed their willingness to consent to
the work, and only delayed formal consent in
order to have agreement drawn up in
writing which will effectually protect the canal
from any injury. 1t will require but two or
three days to close the present waste~weir, open
a new one below the conduit, and close the
tumbling dams OverflOws above the dam
As more efficient protection of the water, the
government Is to lease all the land lying
between the canal and river for half mile
above the conduit head. This land will be
cleared of all stables and other buildings and
will be enclosed with high fence. to prevent
the pasturage of cattle or other animals upon 1t.
As another measure of precaution the upper
or receiving reservoir, which is fed in part by
several small streams of unclean water, will be
shut off, and the water supplied nom the river
direct and from the lower reservoir. 1t Is the
custom OF the officials To supply water from the
cleanest source. For instance, when the river
Is muddy after storms the conduit gates
closed and the water supply fed from the reser-
voirs, and when IL happens that the river water
is clearer than that of the reservoirs the city Is
supplied direct from the river. Capt Symons
has prepared plans for carrying the water of the
several small streams which now discharge into
the upper reservoir around the latter and pour
ton with this work he says the reservoir ought
to be emptied and thoroughly cleansed. Then,
with its water supply coming from the river
alone, and proper precautions taken for the pro-
lection of the river, the upper reservoir will be
In condition To serve its purpose of usefulness.
But this important work cannot be done until
Congress shall provide the money, and mean
time the people of the city will. this summer,
be protected against any danger of polluted
water from the upper reservoir by shutting 1t
Off entirely. 1t Is estimated that ii would cost
about 100000 To thoroughly clean the upper
reservoir, build the walls and dams necessary
to exclude the tributary streams and the tun-
mel for carrying the water OF these streams to
the river.
