OUR DRINKTNG WATER.

Nothing should be left undone that
will ensure the community against the
future return Of the foulneas which
characterized the drinking water a
week or ten days ago. There is abso-
lutely nothing, not even taxes, Of
greater moment than the quality OF
abe water used for drinking and
Sooking. Entire cities have been
plagne-smitten through poisons in
sidiously Introduced through. their
water reservoirs. The nasty condition
Of the Brandywine water a week ago
may be repeated at any time for all
shat we appear to know about its
causes or for all that has been done TO
prevent it.
We are afraid that the authorities
and indeed many members Of the COM
munity do not appreciate the gravity
of this matter. Families thai can
afford to drink ice water, iced-teaand
other summer drinks, cannot be ex-
pected to know how thoroughly bad
our water was; but there are thou
sands of homes in this city, in which
see is never used. There inmates can
not. or az least they think that they
cannot afford to use it. The daily
outlay Of five cents can only be made
by them by stinting themselves in
necessities. 1t is hardly possible to
@onceive how these people suffered
last week; and the worst of il all is
shat it falls most heavily upon the
women and children. The men in
many cases very selfishly go out and
get a glass of ice water or
glass Of beer. OF course the wo.
snsh try to supply better
and safer drink by making tea or
soffee. This is a safer way to use the
water, for boiling il necessarily de-
stroys many of the offensive ingre.
dents Of the water; but it is a question
as to which is better for little children,
the tea and coffee or the foul water
The Water Department is resting

The following conversation between
Scotchman and an American will be
found interesting to all those readers
Of the New York Press who are inter-
ested in tools. An American can bet
ter afford to live in America and pay a
duty on his tools than to live in Scot
land and pay no duty:
Scotchman with small iron plane
OF American manufacturer That is
an excellent American invention, but
] could buy il in Scotland at half price.
Why is that?
American-W Without doubling your
veracity, think you are mistaken in
saying half price, but for the sake OF
argument we will assume that your
statement is correct. These planes are
the product of American invention.
fostered by protection; they are sold
in this country at good profit, and in
Scotland at a small profit, because the
Scotch people cannot pay as much as
Americans, owing to their wages being
only one-third to one.half of ours, 80
you can see you would be no better off
in Scotland with planes at half price.
Omr home market is the most profit
able; the manufacturer spends his
profits here, and our people can afford
to pay higher prices. When we had a
revenue tariff our production Of
hardware and cutlery was insignifi-
cant; we imported such goods largely,
paying profits to foreign manufacturers
and draining our country of its pre-
cious metals. Under protection, these
manufactures have gro IN enor-
mously, thus providing work for our
own people.
Scotchman-But If we had free raw
materials we could increase our ex-
ports and supply the world.
American-How much raw material
is in your plane, and what is the retail
price of the finished product?
Scotchman--Is weighs about half a
pound and sells for 90 cents.
American-Very welll Fine iron
castings can be made for cents per
pound. therefore the raw materials in
the plane cost Il cents. If the duty
on iron was removed, the price would
be reduced to about cent. Would
this small saving enable you to supply
the markets of the world? Iguess not.
IL is a well-known rule in political
economy that nine-tenths of the cost
of manufactured article consists of
labor; therefore, in order to reduce the
costs to an appreciable extent, wages
must be cut down. When this is done
your competitor does likewise, and the
result is starvation wages. Do you
wish to remove the tariff and engage
in desperate struggle with foreign
pauper labor2

Pure White Man.
Especial Correspondence.l
CARTERsvILLE, Ga, July 2 John Taylor
Of this place could never pose for the hero in
Gebauh's Sun Homme Sans Une Historic y
He claims to be a son Of President Zachary
Taylor, to have been taken into Kentucky
by his fathers orders and subsequently to
have served in the Mexican war. Although
as white as his master Taylor was brought
up among the mulattoes on the plantation of
William r. johnson, great Kentucky
horse man in those days and always sup
posed himself to be possessed Of a slight taint
OF negro blood; but after the death of Gen.
Taylor in 1850 the secret leaked out that his
mother was a young Spanish creole, who had
died a year after his birth. He had then
been married TO a mulatto about six weeks.
Near the close Of the rebellion he had ac-
cumulated fortune OF $4,000 which was in
vested in tobacco when the bombardment
of Atlanta occurred. lt was then that the
Federal soldiery, armed with an order from
headquarters to search certain warehouses
Of tobacco in the suburbs, broke open and
confscated the entire contents Of Taylor's
barn and left him almost penniless A to-
bacco warehouse was Of great value at that
period. Taylor happily recollected his SER
vices as valet in 1S46-7, and what a good
hair dresser he had been. 1t was Of frequent
occurrence for him to be complimented by
northern and southern officers alike on his
phenomenal skill as a tonsorial artist in those
days, so he sold his house and personal eff
fects, bought for song shaving palace on
Decatur street, Atlanta, and commenced to
make money. He had the entree, as it were,
into military circles. and had for regular
customers at various times Gems. Sher-

BAD BUSINESS.

The story Of extraordinary iinan-
ciering which is given on another page
Of this impression will be news TO very
few well informed men in this city.
The financial transactions Of Walter
Cummins have been the talk Of the
streets for months. But the details
OF those transactions have been
known to very few and none Of them
have ever been stated, not even in
conversation, as fully and intelligently
as they are presented to-day. The
story is not completed but enough is
given TO show that the worst that was
ever said about this affair fell
short of the truth. Our report
Of the unfortunate affair needs no
somment and no apology. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary for the sake of the
public welfare that this and ell such
transactions should be exposed. For
Mr.. Cummins we have the sincerest
eommiseration, but cur duty is first
and perhaps solely TO the public.
We wish 10 add, however. that, in
view Of what we have published to-
day, and Of what will undoubtedly fol-
low, it is Mr.. Cummins's duty to resign
his Office as judge Of the Mu-
nicipal Court. He should have
resigned months ago. Il isa mockery
for him to sit longer in Judgment
upon the foibles, weaknesses and petty
crimes Of his fellow men from day to
day 50 long as the present shadow is
hanging over his head.

How 10 secnre work.

A workingman sends word that he
will pay ''tsx" of $25, to be deducted
from his wages, if any one will insure
him work for the next six months.
The most certain way for all American
workingmen to secure work at home
is to labor for the success of the "pro-
tective tariff principle. We cannot
earn wages at home on the goods and
materials that are made abroad and
sent to this country, and if we desire
wages and work at our own homes we
must cling to cur home markets and
give our influence to that political
party which favors protection to
American industry.
