WAsHINGTONls WLTER SUPPLY.

ait is an old, old story, and yet it's ever
new" says an old poem about love, but the
verse finds application also to Washington's
water supply.
Ever since the city got its water works the
quantity and quality ofthe supply have been a
subject of discussion. There has been ex-
tension and improvement. Increase has been
followed by increase, and so far as the guam
tity is concerned the people of Washington
are in a fair wayt to have their wants satisfied,
although in some sections of the city at GER
tain seasons Of the year, especially in summer
time, much is yet to be desired.
When it comes TO the question Of quality.
however, the same complaints that used TO be
made fifty years ago hold good to-day. That
the water is not as pure at certain times as il
ought TO be admits Of no dispute. Neither
does any one question the necessity Of making
the water that is used for drinking and cook
ing. purposes as pure as modern scien-
tihc progress and appliances can make it.
The problem, therefore, is not whether to do
1t, but how to do it.
There have been Of late years some terrible
demonstrations Of the dangers arising from
impure drinking water. Most notable among
these was the defamation Of Hamburg's pop
ulation by the cholera, which disease was
spread by the polluted water Of the Elbe River.
The pollution arose from the dejecta OF chol-
era-strieken emigrants, and the absence of
proper fltering apparatus contributed largely
TO the dissemination Of the disease. Since
then, taught by dire experience, the authori-
ties have expended large sums Of money for a
htering system which, according to COM
petent authority, is very nearly perfect.
DR.. j. S. Billings, Of the Army Medical
Museum, who has carefully studied the water
supply systems Of the principal cities Of
Europe and this country. delivered an inter
esting address on this subject before the Med
ieal Society of the District Of Columbia few
nights ago, and urged the systematic ex-
animation Of Potomac water at different
points on the river and as high up as Harper's
Ferry. The District government, he thinks.
ought to provide to this end a skilled bacteri
ologist and good laboratory, and this should
be followed up by such other provisions as will
make Washington's water supply the best in

SHE'D RATHER BE SINGLE.

Mrs. Frautz Prefers Work in a Store to the
Care of Her Husbands Home.
Charles F. Frantz in his answer to the suit
of his wife, ,Mariette Frantz, for divorce, throws
some light on the marriage problem.
He says his wife is refusing to live with him
because she prefers work in store to house
work. She likes nice gloves handkerchiefs.
perfumery, jewelry. and these she can
not so well have as a wife engaged in home
duties.
He believes this from her answer to his
proposition that though he had lived like a
dog and the children were neglected because
they were both away from home, still it
might be arranged so we could live to-
gether." He denies any cruelty to her, but
alleges that one day when he complained
that the wardrobe had not been properly
cleaned she replied that he might clean it
himself, and when he thereupon made no an
swer, but sat down to read, she struck him
with a wet towel giving him black eye
AS to his property he says he owns a house
on Franklin street worth 81. 200 and has paid
about 5000 on another house that he has con-
tracted to buy. but his income is not 800 a
month. His pay is 40 cents an hour when
he works.
The money that came from Germany
amounted only to 81 800 and this was in his
mothers possession for many years. OF the
amount he finally invested 500 for his
mother in a house on Seventh street and $500
went into his own house on Franklin street.

AN nNFouAL REASON.

Lady Henry Somerset very justly enters
protest against the silly contention that as
women cannot render military service, the
she says: "There is hardly woman who is
not called 10 come face to face with death;
who does not go down into the great Geth-
semane of suffering, and with the dew of
eternity on her brow give 70 the world its sons
and daughters. 1t is a woman's fight for the
race; the fight in which she too often gives
her life. 1t is a greater service to bear SOL
diers than to bear arms"
Its an eloquent plea; one far too eloquent for
the equities of the case. There are thousands
OF men who by reason of physical deficiencies
would be unable to bear arms and be exempted
from military service. Because of that fact,
ought the right of suffrage be denied them?
TO fight the battles of the nation is the one
service that woman cannot render, though
she does go TO the battlefield and to the hos
pitals TO nursethe wounded.
There is no other service, however, for
which she is not as fully qualified as man.
On jury she would be as capable to sift evil
dence and determine the right and wrong of
a case as her fellow jurors. In every depart
ment ofthe public service that has been opened
to her thus far she has done competent and
faithful work. Indirectly she influences to-
day the votes of her husband or brother.
Why should she not have an equal chance
with at least every male weakling who, by his
vote, is potential factor in the affairs OF the
nation?

THE PRESIDENT AND NEW YORK.

Over-eager partisans in various parts Of
the country who have been calling upon
President Cleveland to make a speech IN
advocacy Of Senator Hills cause. or to other
wise express his views upon the political
situation in New York, need a few lessons
in official propriety. There is such doc
trine as the fitness of things-a doctrine
which these partisans have conspicuously
overlooked.
The President of the United States, as such,
is not partisan. He has political views Of
his own, certainly; he carries into effect a
partisan policy, Of course, and is constantly
dominated by the motive Of party success and
party achievement; but none the less he is the
head Of the republic and the servant OF the
whole people To no public official does this
principle more fifty apply than to the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Should the President engage in heated
political campaign, taking sides with his
fellow-partisans against other partissns
OF whom he is equally the public ser
want, he would not only drag in the
mire Of politics the great Office which he
holds but would also violate the spirit OF his
own instructions 10 Federal ofice-holders. 1t
is almost inccnceivable that the President
should SO far forget the greatness Of his
Office, the dignity of his position, and
the weight Of his responsibility to the
whole people, and even ordinary political
consistency, as to descend TO take sides
openly in the New York campaign, and ad-
vocate by pen or word Of mouth the election
Of any candidate for Office Certainly the
President would present a sorry public
spectacle if he should do so.
AS President Cleveland has not made a
practice Of taking part in political campaigns
there is little reason to believe that he Will do
so in the present instance; but partisans who
have been urging him TO speak or write in
favor Of Senator Hill ought to have better
sense than to demand the commission OF a
manifest and fragrant improperly.

tiOnS on the Stock Exchange.
CLOSINGs BELOW WEDNESDAY
The General Market Opened Firm and the

New YORK, Oct. 25.-Although the trans
actions on the Stock Exchange to-day were
triie larger than on yesterday, the trading
was dull and uninteresting, except in the
coal stocks which were unusually active and
heavy, owing to alleged friction among the
several companies and reported over produc-
ton. This led to brisk selling during the
morning. which resulted in decline of 5
per cent. in Delaware and Hudson 3}4 in
New Jersey Central, 3S in Delaware Lack
awanna and Western. and in Reading.
On the announcement of the advance in the
price schedule by the salesagents recovery
of 81 was made in Delaware and Hudson.
in New Jersey Central, 135 in Delaware and
Lackawana and q in Reading. In the later
dealings the bears returned to the attack, put
ting out the claim that the fact that tie out
put is unrestricted. destroys any benefit that
might acrue to the coal trade by the advance
in rates. A reaction of per cent. in New
Jersey Central followed the raid, the other
coalers named receding Ia5i and Susque-
hama and Western selling of per cent rs II.
At the close New Jersey Central rallied q.
The general market opened fairly firm but
the short Interest taking advantage OF the de-
preston in the eoalers sold down, the leading
shares and some of-the speciaIties as we'll as
well as causing a decline which was not
checked until nearly down, the losses ranging

marked in Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred,

became firmer in tone and the tendency, ex-
cept in few instances, was upward, to the
! close, when a recovery of 1Sa11z had been re-
