SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.

There was only one thing connected
with the reunion that Richmond need be
ashamed of, and this was the muddy
water which. for want of better. we
had 10 offer our guests Particularly 10
men used TO clear. sparkling spring or
well water, the stuff that our city fur
nished them must have been nothing less
than repulsive.
Few other cities would have stood so
long and so uncomplainingly as Richmond
has done such drinking-water as has
long been inflicted upon our people.
1t is now time that we were rising in
arms. as It were, and demanding cleaner
and clearer water. We want better
water and (at high points more water;
but, after the experience of the last two
months really we think the former need
IS greater than the latter.
Let us go to boring Artesian wells, or
piping clear water here from neighbor-
ing springs. or else start 10 building
big subsistence reservoir-anythng that
will promise relief. What can strangers
think of a community of nearly 10000
souls which sits down and contents itself
with the muddy stun drawn from the
James and passed upon the people under
the bogus name Of water? II isn't nice;
it can't be healthy (unless red clay in the
stomach is healthy. and it is most as
suredly not creditable TO the enterprise
and genius Of the citizens and taxpayers
of the capital Of the Old Dominion.
Let's resolve TO go to work and secure
a clearwater supply. even If we have TO
raise the money necessary therefor by
levying special tax. Meanwhile, we
should suppose that Richmond would be
the greatest market in this country for
the sale of filters; filters which would
do the liberation desired by a family,
and could be sold at a moderate price.
Year by year our people are being
weaned in greater and greater numbers
from drinking James-river water, and
since the reunion their disgust with 1t
has been greater by far than ever be-
fore

T. &c rather a singular condition OF
,h,rss that prevails now in the world Oh

seemed to have made judicious selections
and IN he ready and willing to risk the
Marty success upon the nominees ana the
,,,a,form whether the Cleveland riots
win have any influence upon ths pros
meets of McKinley's election or hot we
cannot say. The times are out OF JOINT
and no man and no party has yet been
found TO "set them right"
The Democratic National Convention
will meet next Tuesday; and it is claimed
nv the silverites that they will control
that body. A singular feature OF the case
ne Il now stands is that the silver men
IN the convention are I'm favor OF the
odont,on Of the two-thirds rule II they
can get two-thirds majority in that
Indy. Int opposed to its adoption If It's
odontion will give to the sound-money
no,oocrats such control of that body as
will enable them to have their own way
therein.
The National Democratic Bimetallic
League is a third party. What they want
with a new party we cannot understands
But so it IS They keep themselves to
themselves.
We only rely upon the Democrats OF
Virginia to lend their counsel 70 the
Democratic party proper. Senator Dan
Eel will not be n candidate for Nice-Presl-
dent. as some persons had supposei ne
would. This will leave him free to work
for the grand old Democratic party OF
