The Water Question.

We publish in another column thls
morning a very carefully prepared article
on the artesan well question. The writer
condemns the pump water, which Is so
generally used in this city, gives the
facts with respect to the river water and
doubts the practicability Of supplying the
city with water from artesian wells. The
article is timely in view of the fact that
the City Council may, at an early day,
consider the question Of the advisabiltty
of sinking artesan wells.
The opinion is general that the pump
water is unfit for drinking purposes, and
that measures ought to be taken to pre-
vent its use. That river water is whole
some there is no reason to doubt. The
only objection to it is the amount of silt
in it for days, and sometimes weeks, after
heavy rains up the river. There are
times when people drink it with strong
feeling OF disgust, aud battle in it with a
sense of swapping one sort OF dirt for an
other. While tits possible to filter enough
OF it for drinking purposes it is rather
difficult to do so for bathing purposes.
To filter it even for drinking and cooking
purposes is a burden which a great
many poor people are very slow to in
cur.
If the river water could be had reason
ably free from silt-as free, for instance, as
It is after long period OF dry weather up
the river-there would be nothing heard
or artesian wells. Is it possible to free it
from silt at reasonable costa cost less
than that of sinking artesian wells? II
is, then we might as we'll dismiss the
artesian water question. II it isn't, then
it would be well for the Council to get all
the information it can relative to the
wbolesOmeness of artesian water from
wells sunk within the city lin its, and the
cost of sinking a sufficient number OF
wells to supply the city with water. OF
course it would be folly to sink artesIan
wells before having the water from the
wells already sunk thoroughly analyzed.
The impression is that the water from
these wells Is very pure, but the Council,
of course, would hardly act on an impress
sion.
What is wanted Is clear, pure water,
and the people are willing to bear some
additional municipal expense to get it.
How shall it be obtained? That is the
problem which the Council is expected to
answer.
Savannah morning news., 1886-06-17


There appears to be growing impress
sion that Gen. Gordon, even among those
hostile to him, will succeed in getting the
nomination tor Governor. This impress
sion, doubtless, is due to the fact that
quite large number of the delegates
elected within the last week are favorable
to him. Not half of the counties have
chosen delegates, however, and it is,
therefore, too soon to form conclusions
respecting the result of the campaign.
1t is probable that Maj. Bacon's chances
are about as good now as they were when
the campaign began. His supporters and
organs certainly do not admit tnat
he has lost around. Their claim is that the
counties that choose delegates further
along in the campaign VIII show strong
Bacon sentiment. How much there is in
this claim it is, Of course, impossible to say
with any degree of certainty. 1t is easy
enough to make claims, but it is rather
difficult sometimes to show that they are
well founded.
Gen. Gordon has assumed from the out
set tnat he would get the nomination.
In tact, even now at his meetings he in
vites his friends to be present at his in
auguraton. His confident tone however,
is only part OF his tactics. He knows
little if anything more about what the re-
suit of the campaign will be than Maj.
Bacon does. Being OF a very sanguine
temperament, however, he doesn't admit
the possibility of defeat.
Assuming that there is considerable
foundation for the claims of both Gen.
Gordon and Major Bacon, it is not improb-
able that they will run pretty close to-
gether. If, therefore, a few counties fail
to elect partisan delegates. neither of the
candidates may enter the convention with
majority. In that event, probably, they
would both be defeated. The few unin-
structed and bipartisan delegates would
control the convention. They would oc-
cupy about the same position that the
Parnellltes occupy in the English Parlia-
ment. They could, and if they were made
out of the right sort of stuff they would,
dictate the nomination.
1t may be that the convention will be
so evenly divided between the Gordon
and Bacon men that the dozen delegates
will hold the balance of power. Are
there not few counties so far free from
partisan feeling in this campaign as to
elect delegates who are not partisans?
OF the 75 or more counties which have
not yet acted there ought to be a half
dozen, at least, which are not controlled
by the managers ofelther Gen. Gordon or
Maj. Bacon.
1t is strange, to say the least OF it, that
the people of this great State permit lot
of politicians to limit their choice for Gov
ernor to two men. They are in effect
told that they must nominate either Gen.
Gordon or Maj. Bacon, and yet it IS not
certain that they want either of them. Is
there not independence enough in some
of the counties to resent this dictation of
the politicians, this impertlneut attempt
to limit the rights of the people?
