good sized share. We had Webster's

lead pencils sharpened ready for busi-

butcher knife, ready to sharpen other

had just annihilated England, done up
Germany and planted the American

There is enough of reverence and reli-

| ought not TO take the government OF the State
| long to correct the evil.
The trouble with the Passac Is general one.
| common TO hundreds Of other streams through
out the county. 1t has its origin in the wreched
system inherited by lis from barbarous an
tiouity of making rivers, lakes and seas re
ceptaclcs for all the filth and refuse Of our cities.
For ages it has been the custom to build towns
and cities upon the banks Of streams. not merely
for convenience Of commerce or OF obtaining
water supply but, as Is commonly said. Tor
drainage'-that is. in order that the drains and
sewers may empty their foul floods into the
stream and thus the city's sewage be got rd
of without further trouble. II is in all cases an
unclean and wasteful practice. In the case of
river like the PasSac, flowing through a
densely populated region, it is nothing short OF
criminal
The way to keep the Passaic clean is to keep
the filth out of il. The stream Is pure enough
when it bursts from the recesses of the Great
Swamp and winds It's way from Millington
down to Chatham Bridge. The tributary waters
of the Whppany and Rockaway. the Pequan-
mock and Wanaque and Ramapo. are clean II
is at Little Falls and Paterson that the trouble
begins There a vast industrial community has
grown up upon the river banks. Enormous fac
tories and a teeming population have need Of al
most every drop of the water the Passaie brings
down to them. They make use of II, and pour
1t back into the rivcr-bed below the falls, tide
of liquid vilencss. Seven miles of sewers in
Paterson alone open directly into the river, pour
ing into it fully 20,0O0000 gallons of sewage
every day. A little way below dam has been
built transforming the river into lake, or
rather a gigantic cesspoo And beyond 1t the
reeking tide flows sluggishy TO the sea. with
fall of only a few inches to the mile. 1t began al
Mendham a clear mountain brook. 1t ends at
Newark Bay a loathsome open sewer
The correction of the evil is simple enough
1t requires no new invention. no untrici en-
terprisc 1t needs merely that the sewage Of
the cities and the washings Of the factories shall
not be poured into the river, bat shall be divert
ed elsewhither, to sewage farms and rendering
works There the solid portions Of the matter
should be made available for fcrtlzing land
and other purposes, while the liquid. made pure
and sweet again. could he turned back into the
river without harm That Is what is done. and
for years has been done, at Paris and Berlin
and other European cities. so that the rivers are
kept pure and beautiful, and the suburban fields
are made gardens of unsurpassed fertility. That
we have not long ago done the same here on
the Passaic. the Connecticut. the Delaware. and
scores Of other streams. is a shame and Il dis
grace to us, as we'll as an incalculable pccuniary
loss This New-JerScy commission will do a
noble service If 1t shall begin the much needed
reform, and teach Americans the obvious but
neglected lesson ulat rivers should not be

RIVERS SHOULD NOT BE SEWERS.

The commission appointed by the Governor Of
New-Jersey to investigate the pollution OF the
Passaic River and devise means for abating the
nuisance has begun its work at Paterson. Its
first days session has revealed some startling
facts. Its further inquiries will bring to light
a state of affairs which can only be described
as appalling. 1t will be found that this large
stream, flowing at slow and sluggish pace for
miles through thickly settled region. is COM
posed chiefly Of sewage Of the most offensive and
noxious character that fish will not live in it
nor beasts drink Of 1t; that it Is an abomination
to sight and SMELL and q menace to the health
Of all who live near it. These things, indeed,
are already perfectly well known. The labors
of the commission will give information Of them
