This was to call an officer of the House to

Villages have been burned aud the inhabit-

Those who have thought Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker lacked the ability to make
a good political manager have about come
to the conclusion they were mistaken. His
scheme to put country postmasters under
the thumbs of local bosses is regarded by
republican leaders to indicate talent of a
high order for political management. If
postmasters at county seats should be made
postoffice inspectors, as he proposes, the
country postrnasters would have to do a
good deal of political work for the Republi-
can party or resign. And if there are any
democrats holding postmasterships they
might as well make up their minds to gel
out at once. 1t is not the intention of the
Postmaster General to pay the county seal
inspectors for their work. They are tolt
that the service they render must be g
campaign contribution. Hence it is clear
that it is the good of the Republican party
and not Of the postoffice service that Mr.
Wanamaker has in view.

The Famous Maxbrick Case.

Another effort is to be made to secure the
release from prison Of Mrs. Florence May
brick. the American woman who is serving
a life sentence in an English prison. having
been convicted Of killing her husband by
means of poison. Mrs Maybrick's casa is o
famous one. At the time it was before the
courts it attracted great attention in this
country and England. Mrs. Maybrick is
an American, and her husband was well
known cotton buyer IN this country.
1t Is astonishing how much sympathy
there is for her in England. and how strong
the doubt of her guilt is. And yet she is not
a woman that is deserving of much SYM
pathy. She was not true to her marriage
VOWS. That was clearly proven on the trial.
Had it not been shown beyond question that
she had lover and that she desired to get
rid Of her husband she would not hare been
convicted.
She was found guilty of murder in the
first degree and was sentenced 70 be hanged.
She would have been hanged Aug. &c had not
the queen, on the recommendation of Home
Secretary Matthews, commuted her SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life.
The question that the eminent solicitors
who have taken hold of the case intend to
raise is constitutional one. In his recom-
incubation TO the queen Secretary
Matthews said that although the evidence
leads clearly TO the conclusion that the
prisoner administered and attempted to
administer arsenic to her husband with in
tent to murder, yet it does not wholly
exclude a reasonable doubt whether his
death was. in fact. caused by the admins
tration OF arsenic"
Mrs. Maybrick was charged with muir
der and was convicted Of murder, but the
queen committed her sentence because there
was reasonable doubt whether any muir
der was committed and, therefore. a reason
able doubt whether Mrs. May brick is guilty
Of murder. In such case, it is contended
the queen has no constitutional right to ex-
ere ise clemency. She can only use her
power to pardon where there ia
no doubt about the guilt of
the accused, or where there
are extenuating circumstances. But in
Mrs. Maybrick's case she changed the pun
ishment from hanging to life imprisonment
for the reason that there was a reasonable
doubt whether Mrs. Maybrick was guilty
Of the crime for which she was convicted.
A reasonable doubt entities an accused per-
son to liberty. 1t does not justify punish
ment that is hardly preferable to hanging.
a good deal more will be heard of Mrs.
Msybriok's case before it is finally settled.
Those who are now managing it seem de-
termined to exhaust all legal means in
her behalf, They are likely to win notori-
ETY. for themselves even if they fail to win
liberty for their client.

One Of the greatest problems cities have
to solve is the getting of pure water, and
comparatively few of them solve it. Less
than year ago the papers of Philadelphia
were daily calling the attention of the city
authorities to the necessity for providing
that city with pure water. At that time
typhoid fever was almost epidemic within
the city's limits. The authorities did moth
ing, however. They could do nothing
without incurring an expense of many
millions of dollars. The fever gradually
disappeared and the call for pure water
ceased
But Philadelphia will have to get purer
water from some source before long. If
she doesn't she will have typhoid fever
from one years end to another. The terri
tory which is drained by the water courses
from which she draws her water supply is
covered with factories of one kind and an
other. and vast mass Of poisonous matter
is drained into those streams.
Newark, n. j., and New Y ork are now
agitating the water question. Both cities
have many cases of typhoid fever. In New
ark there is serious epidemic of the fever.
The cases are so numerous that the health
officer refuses to make the number public,
for the reason that the city would be in
jured. The city's water supply is drawn
from a river on whose banks are many
fac .ories. 1t is not TO tie wondered at,
therefore, that the water is full of poisonous
matter.
The Croton water of New York has re-
Gently been enalyzsd by several eminent
chemists, and it was found to be full of i'm
purities. The people who took the trouble
to study the analyses were surprised that II
contained so large percentage OF disease
breeding matter.
But how is the water to be made purer
| That is the question that is bothering the
authorities. The water shed Of the lake
from which the water is drawn is thickly
settled, and it could hardly be otherwise
than that the water should be impure i
would cost many millions Of dollars to pur-
chase this water shed and remove all habi
tations from it, aud yet it would seem as il
that must be done before New York car
have pure water.
Savannah is particularly fortunate with
respect to water. Her artesian wells afforC
an ample supply OF water that is absolutely
free from anything that produces fevers
and since the artesian water has been in ust
there has been a marked improvement in the
city's health.
