Good results should flow from the meet
Ing to be held in New York on Friday and
Saturday of this week of representative
American physicians to discuss the subject
of pollution in the water supply of cities.
This meeting is the result of the efforts of
DR.. Charles Smart of the United States
Army, who has learned that there is no
concerted action among the bacteriologists
of the country in studying the infection of
drinking water and that each of the many
institutions interested in such subjects has
carried on It's own distinctive inquiry, in
dependent in method and scope. This sub
ject is as near to the welfare of the public
as any that can be discussed, for late
science has amply demonstrated the fact
that from polluted water comes a large
living In great cities, and while, of course,
there Is little need of united action in the
eradication of the evil, as each city is
really Independent of others in this matter
yet great good can be accomplished by an
interchange of ideas and by the establish
Inent of the best systems for the detection
of harmful bacteria in drinking water and,
for the most approved method of purifca-
ton, This Is q subject that interests every
community in the land and will continue to
be OF greater Importance as, through the
increase of urban population, the water
supply problem becomes more and more
difficult of solution.

Is the new minister about to take rank
tury phenomenon? The new woman owes
much of her notoriety at the present to
the improvement in bicycles, which has
made it possible for her to appear cheaply
and more or less gracefully in public
firmly seated on the saddle Of the steed
of steel. The new clergyman is having
varied fortunes in his efforts to reconcile
religion and bicycling. Rev. James H.
Messenger Of the Hope Baptist Church Of
Albany has just been forced to resign his
charge because certain influential mem
bers of the congregation objected to his
making pastoral calls on bicycle. This
action is in sharp opposition to that taken
recently by Baltimore church. which
raised d fund and purchased a bicycle for
its minister for the very purpose of en-
ablng him to perform more readily and
speedily his parochial peregrinations. The
Baltimoreans seem to have done the
mere sensible thing, for unquestionably
this is an age of rapid transit, and the
principles of quick lOcomotion will sooner
or later be applied to religious enterprises
as well as to commerce.. 1t is not to be
questioned that a large proportion of the
men, and perhaps women, of these two
churches are addicted to the use of the
wheel. and 1t may be depriving the min
lister of meeting his parishioners on COM
mon ground to prohibit him from using the
bicycle as an agent in his church work

Today marks the closing of another sue
cessful school year. The public schools of
Washington are excellent illustrations of
the possibility of continual advancement.
and it is within the bounds CT reason to
expect that next year these free institu-
tions of learning will Rave still farther pro-
gressed toward an ideal condition of effec-
tiveness. Not only does the school popula-
tion constantly increase. sometimes more
than keeping up with the increase of the Or
dinary population. but the standard Of thor
oughness is, always advancing. and new
fields are being opened that were hitherto
supposed to be beyond the range of public
instruction The rank of Washington
among the American cities in the stand
ing of its public schools is exceptionally
high, and would be higher still If it were
not so difficult to obtain liberal allowances
from Congress to keep pace with the grow
ing demand for more schools and more
teachers. Economy in such a direction is
very poor policy. and no public money is
ever better spent than in the education of
the children, in which is lsvolved the max
ing of good citizens.

There is fine field for the application of
the Edmunds law Immediately under the
shadow of the First Precinct Police Sta
tion, in the range of which there may be
found SCORES of fragrant violations Of this
statue, which has now been held to apply
to the District. In carrying out the pro-
visions of the act in the Division there will
be no necessity to resort to dubious meth
ods of making out doubtful cases. The re-
port of recent raid on disorderly house
in the dark part of town noted the fact
that the men VINO We're at first taken into
custody on the premises were afterwards
released The woman who kept the house
was locked up and fined. If the police ar
rested these men under circumstances
which stamped the woman's house as of
Ill fame, evidence of the same circum-
stances would seem to convict the men of
violations of the Edmunds law. There
should be no Determinations in the en-
forcerlcnt of the law exempting its open
and fragrant violators. The authorities
must not strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel

There Is something either in the personal
character Of the millionaire or in the mer-
Its of the case itself that has evidently ap-
pealed to the public heart in the suit
brought by Mr. Laidlaw in New York
against Mr. Russell Sage for damages,
caused by Mr.. Laidlaw's having been used,
IS he alleges, by Mr. Sage as a buffer
against the force Of the explosion when
the crank Norcross dropped his dynamite
laden satohel In Mr.. Sage's Office on the
9Th Of December 1891. This feeling of
sympathy for the plaintiff has exhibited
itself throughout the country whenever the
famous case has come to trial, and 1t re-
aeiyed additional demonstration when last
evening the fourth Jury that has heard the
Aase brought In a verdict granting Laid
law SAC, 900 damages, Such suits often have
sar-marks Of blackmail, and Of being
brought simply because the defendant has
wealth, But the testimony In the present
faaa has always been strongly to the point
