Close Up the Wells.

A correspondent states that great many
of the pumps in different parts of the city
are still in use. From this it will appear
that good many of the people of this city
are still using water from the wells for
drinking purposes.
1t may be that the council is making
preparations to close all the wells They
have closed some of them, and perhaps it
has good reasons for not closing the others
at once. Those which remain open, how
ever, cannot be closed too soon.
1t is fact that is generally commented
upon that there has been great decline in
malarial fevers in this city since artesian
water was introduced. The river water,
although sweet, doubtless contains a great
deal of vegetable matter and even trace
of sewage, but the water of the river is
vastly more wholesome than that of the
shallow city wells Surface water that
carries particles of the filth of the city
drains into these wells, and although
the water that ispumped from them appears
to be pure, it isn't, and an analysis of it
will show that 1t isn't. People will continue
to use the wells, however, Notwithstanding
the warning with regard to them, simply
because they have been using them all their
lives and have never believed that any sick
ness from which they may have suffered
was caused by water from them.
Let the pumps be closed up as soon as
possible. Special efforts should be made to
remove the obstacles in the way of closing
them. Let the people not only be given a
chance to use pure water, but make it i'm
possible for them TO use any other.

A republican newspaper, the Philadelphia
telegraph, thinks MIR. Blaine, since his re-
turn from Europe, has lost the Republican
party more votes by his public utterances
than he will be able to gain for it between
now and election day by his magnetism.
Probably this is true. Mr. Blaine's defense
OF trusts, supplemented by that of his friend
Mr.. Carnegie, no doubt has done the Re.
publican party much injury.

He must be convinced of his error now,
however. Even in Indianapolis, Harrison's

of honor, and Harrison was overlooked.

might be well for Mr.. Blaine to answer this
question before proceeding further.

The president of the Young Mems Chris
ton Association in Buffalo, N. Y, wrote
recently to President Cleveland and Gen.
Harrison, asking them to inGorse the work
of the association. President Cleveland
answered as follows: I'VE are busy ma
ton. The impetus, rush and enterprise Of
our people to a casual observer would seem
to yield no place to the consideration and
fostering of the influences which radiate
from these institutions, but to those who
know how well our daily life is grounded
upon christian principles it is a matter of no
surprise that young mems christian associa-
tions challenge our attention and care It
seems TO me that nothing is more essential
to our continued welfare and prosperity as
people than the preservation Of our faith
in the usefulness of such organizations. ~
Gen. Harrison said: "If there were any oc-
casion for an expression upon the subject, it
would be cheerfully and heartily given,
but to make an occasion does not seem to
me to be appropriate. The organization is
too well known to need any such support or
advertisement. Such letter would appear
TO be rather in aid of myself than Of the or
ganization, and have too much respect for
it TO seem TO use il in that way" Mr.
Clevelands answer will not be considered
as an electioneering affair. II is decidedly
the better and more appropriate of the two.
The opinions Of the President and Gen. Har-
rison we're sought no doubt to help the as
ISOLATION and not the candidates. Mr.
Cleveland took in the situa ion, and sent n
straightforward, manly answer.

The Local Fight in New York.

There is no reason to doubt that the demo-
Gratis of New York city will continue their
contest for the local offices until the election
Mr.. Grant, Tammany's candidate for
mayor, says that he will withdraw in favor
of union candidate if Mr.. Hewitt, the
candidate of the County democracy, will
also withdraw. There is not much proba-
bility that his proposition will be accepted.
There is even doubt that it is made in entire
good faith. II it were not quite certain
that Mr.. Hewitt would not accept it, the
probability is that it would not have been
made.
But if it were accepted, the chances are
that Tammany would find way to defeat
it, if Tammany man were not selected as
the union candidate.
Mr.. Grant is popular young man and
his record is a good one, but there is no
probability that he will be elected. Mr..
Hewitt has made good many enemies
since he has been mayor, but at the same
time he has made great many friends He
is something of a crank, but no one doubts
his honesty and ability, and there is no
great amount Of fault found with his ad-
ministration. All things considered,
be is the best mayor New York has had for
long time People who want an honest
and able city government recognize this,
and they will vote for him irrespective OF
party. That he will be reelected if he con-
tinues in the race, there is not much reason
to doubt.
II Tammany is wise, therefore, it will
pocket its pride and take down its candi-
date. BY doing so it will gain great favor
with the national democracy, and, perhaps,
pave the way for getting control of the
city government in the near future
Shrewd politicians say that the division
of the democracy in New York city on
local affairs will not hurt the national
| democratic ticket. 1t may not great deal,
but it can hardly help hurting it to some
extent. The republicans are making extra
ordinary efforts to carry New York
for their national ticket, and they will poll
a very large vote. The democrats may be
able to spare some votes, but they don't
want to spare any. They want every vote
they can get for their national ticket They
would like to see the differences between
the democratic factions in New York city
healed. The way to heal them is for Tam
many to withdraw its ticket.
