The Last Resort.

AS alluded to last week, the Cumber-
land Erie Presse endorses the JOURNALS
estimate of Potomac water and its
opinion that deep well boring is the
sine qua nan of pure and plentiful
supply for the city.
The article is literally translated and
submitted to the JOURNAL by a German
friend
The Cumberland Nems and the Frostburg
JOURNAL differ upon the Water supply ques-
ton as they do upon political questions. The
News holds that water is cleaner and less in
furious to health when it has flowed several
miles over a sand bed than at the spring ana
declares for the Potomac water. The JOUR-
NAL, on the other hand, maintains that water
is cleanest and purest at the spring.
And J. B. Oder is right,
# spring water runs over bed of sand
without tributaries from pasture fields and
farms-in that case the Nems opinion might
be right, for the different harmful bodies
contained in the water might be left behind.
But where are such streams and rivers?
he mountain TlFuletS dripping from tne
glaciers of Switzerland are ofsuch a character,
but no stream which flows through a thickly
settled country, especially the Potomac from
the mouth of Georges Creek, which brings
down the filth of the coal reeion as far as
Cumberland, besides the many little streams
which have their origin in manure piles.
That all the impurities are left behind be-
fore the water reaches us is hardly to be be-
leved Moreover, the analysis of the water,
which has been made ten times and is now
unnecessarily to be made again. proves that
it is nothing else but vegetable and animal
substance.
Why waste words over it?
1t is an indisputable fact that the Potomac
is not fit as source for domestic water
supply.
There are people, however, who maintain
that wall is black if even a halfblind per-
son sees that it is white as snow. To that
class belongs the News.
To conclude-nothing remains for the
Queen City but to try the artesian well plan
of securing the water it needs.

On the Eve OF Departure.

Rev. A. G.. Gekeler, pastor of the
Reformed Church, will leave next week
to take charge of a church in Indian
apolis, Ind. To the large body of his
congregation and the Ministerial As
ISOLATION the separation thus occasion
ed is deplored. The latter body took
formal action at Tuesdays meeting
and embodied their appreciation and
regrets in the following paper, signed
by W. W. Van Arsdale, president,
and G. A. Britt, secretary:
1nasmuch as Rev. A. G. Gekeler, one of
the charter members of the Ministerial AS
ISOLATION of Frostburg, Md, is on the eve of
severing his relations with this body by
@reason of his removal from among us, we,
the members Of this Association, in special
session assembled, DESTROYS of showing the
estimation in which our brother is held by
us, and of expressing our regard for him, do
hereby cheerfuly adopt as our own the fol-
lowing testimonial of respect concerning him
as reported by the committee appointed to
draft suitable resolutions on the departure of
brother Gekeler from our midst:
Resol0ed, That in the removal of Rey. A.
q. Gekeler from among us we lose an earnest
friend and warm supporter of our Association,
one who was a recognized leader among us
because of his broad culture and ready ac-
tivty i'll debate, one who has always shown
himself a man courteous and kindly in his
manner toward us all, a genuine christian
gentleman, worthy personal friend. most
genial companion, and, not least. an asso-
ciate whom we were proud to recognize as an
able. earnest, godly minister of Jesus Christ.
ReSoloed, That while we sincerely regret
the necessity which compels us to forego
further the beneficial influence of the social
fellowship and cultured intelligence of
brother Gekeler, we nevertheless bid him
Godspeed in all his labors for the good of his
felloW-men wherever his lot may be cast
that we wish for him the truest success and
greatest happiness this life can afford, and
hope that beyond this life there may be a
reunion and an unbroken fellowship of us
all in the presence of 1.-THE King in His
beauty" in that "land that is very far Off"
Resolued. That in token of our esteem of
brother Gekeler copy of these resolutions
be given him as memento of our regard for
him, and, further, that they be published in
the town papers. w. w. VAN ARsDALE,
