in Portland, having gone there Tuesday,

Waterville is having trouble with her
water supply, which is taken from the
Kennebec river, and is said tc contain the
sewage of Oakland to greater or less ex-
tent. Physicians say its use is likely al
any time to cause nepidemic of typhoid
fever, and the Waterville Mail quotes
many prominent citizens who condemn
the water in the strongest possible terms.
The most favorable view of it is taken by
Hon. 5. S. Brown, who says: II think
chat if man has cold and wants to take
a little rum and molasses this water will

there are sotne pretty large sized microb es
ia the water that rum will take care of. -
EX Mayor c. II. kedington says: Il think
it is a shame for the people of this city to
be obliged TO use such water as that fur
nished at present. 1t seems particularly
disgIacefui in view of the fact that all
about the city are lakes of unquestioned
purity of water which might as well be
used as a source of supply"
Commenting on the statement that Gov
ernor Powers in his message will take de-
cided ground in favor of economy and re-
trenchment, the Portland Press says: cit
is not the fault of the legislature that APP
preparations are sometimes too lavish, SO
much as of the people. Whole communi-
ties go to Augusta and demand appropria-
tions for this thing and that. Who ever
heard of single individual going there to
urge economy of expenditures. Very
true But it is the cities mainly that send
delegations to Augusta to secure appro-
priations for this institution and that, and
not the smaller places. 1t has got SO that
every city or town of any size wants an in
stitution of some kind, to be supported
wholly or in part by the State. We believe
that the State has on its hands all the col
leges, normal schools, hospitals and homes
of various kinds that it can OF should sup
port, and we are not sure that the number
of such institutions is not excessive now.
Certainly, any increase of their number
