A writer in the Pittsburgh CONNER

AS to the first question. 1t seems not.
As to the second. It seems so. So many
people had used the pollutedriver water
without being killed by 1t that 1t Is
hard to hammer in the conviction that
polluted water is a menace and that II
has killed u great many people out
right.
The task is the more difficult because
a given city or town usually arranges
its affairs SO rs not TO have TO drink Its
own sewage. That 1t passes on TO
the communities below, drinks and for
gets that 1t is drinking the sewage OF
the communities above. Wheeling
used to swallow a good deal Of her own
sewage. but now the water is taken
in above the city.
People who drink the water OF n

Ice what a price they pay for their
water. When they understand 1t all
they will do better for themselves,
either by drawing their potable supply
from elsewhere or by saving the river
from pollution.

A Democratic friend suggests to the
Intelllgencer that II his party had poll
ed as large a vote for Congress in 1885
as Il did for President in 1892 the Re-
publicans would not have swept West
Virginia In 1894. This depends upon
what our friend means.
II he means that II no former Demo-
cratic votes had come to the Repuoli'
can ticket in 1894 the result would have
been different. we shall agree with him.
Democrats by scores voted the Republic
can ticket because they wanted the
ticket elected. II our friend means
that the Democratic vote in the presl-
DENTAL year 1892 was greater than the
Republican vote in 1894, he Is mistaken.
In 1882 the Democrats in West Vir-
rinia polied for President S4,4s7 votes.
In 1894 the Republicans poiied for rep
resentatives in Congress Ss,sO5 votes,
5,1as more than he Democrats polled for
President in 1892. Nor in comparing
the total vote OF the wo parties in the
two years does 1t appear that Demo-
Gratis refrained from voting in 1894. The
Democratic ticket got 1891 less votes
5 than In 1892. hut the combined vote OF
the two parties was $4,000. or 1000
greater than In 1892.
True, this leaves unaccounted for 5000
OF the 5000 votes polIed in 1892 by Pro-
hioitionists and Popuiists, but there Is
no comfort here for our Democratic
friends. 1t is significant that from 1892
to 1894 the Democratic party in West
Virginia lost 1921 votes and the Repub-
llcan party gained 1912 votes. The
Democratic vote fell 1000 short Of
that party's vote In 1890: the
Republican vote was 1900 greater than
the Republican vote OF that year
Democratic strength in West Virginia
shows decline. The Republican
strength is a progressive quantity, This
year West Virginia will give her cleo
toral vote to the Republican nominee
for President.

The roll OF Willing Sacrifices In the
Democratic party VOW numbers four
Colonel Morrison and Vice President
Stevenson. both Of Illinois. Ex-Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, erd Cover
nor Matthews. OF Indiana. are willing to
be offered UP on the altar of the Demo.
cratic national convention.
The willingness Of the Indiana man
Is emphasized by his friends, who point
out that since Indiana came into the
Union no Democrat has been elected
without the electrnl vote OF that state.
From this they argue that no Democrat
can be elected this year without the
vote OF Indiana. and that an Indiana
man has q better chance than any other
to get that vote.
Candor forces tho admission that as
the case stands Indiana is Ind!spensa-
BILE to Democratic SUCCESS. Indiana
has fifteen votes. In addition to he
vote OF Indiana 200 more votes are Just
as indispensable. This is where the
trouble appears at full length and in
gloomy portent Indiana win not 20
. Democratic this year. Neither will
other staes necessary to make up the
224 electoral votes that must be had to
carry the country.
This being the situation, 1t Is mere
question of paying some reputable
Democrat the compliment Of naming
him to be knocked down and run over.
Governor Matthews would Ill the bill
as well us any OF them and would show
to good advantage as u willing Sacrl-
fee. Why not encourage the Idea and
give Mathews waIk-ovGr? It will be
ali the same after election day.
