THE WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM.
A Bill to Investigate the Causes of
Pollution.

Mr.. Vest, from the Committee OIL Public
Health and National Quarantine has made
| favorable repor. to- the Senate on a bill
introduced by NJ. Cockrell providing lof
the investigation Of pollution of the water
supplies. the first investigation TO relate to
the Potomac River. The measure provides
THAT the sum Of $4,000 be appropriated
to enable the Marine Hospital Service, IN
der the direction OF the Secretary OF the
Treasury, to investigate the sources OF
contamination of rivers and other natural
sources of water supply where the sanitary
condition of the people Of more than one
State or Territory or the District OF
Columbia is ar acted or threatened to be
affected by sucl pollution. and to report
upon what legislation is necessary to re-
move or prevent such pollution: Provided,
that the first Investigation shall relate to
the Potomac River
The bill was amended by the addition Of
the following: That the sum Of $4,000 be
appropriated to enable the Commissioner of
Fish and Fisheries to investigate and re-
port on the effects of pollution in inter-
state rivers upon the fish, fry. spawn. fish
food. plankton, and riparian vegetation OF
such waters
The following comment is made in the
report:
AT the instance of the Game and Fish
Columbia an amendment has been adopted
by the committee providing for an appro
priation of $4,000 to enable the Commits
sioner of Fish and Fisheries to investi-
gate and report on the effects of pollution
in interstate rivers upon the fish. fry
spawn, fish food, plankton, and riparian
vegetation Of such waters. The necessity
for pure water is so evident that the com
mittee does not deem IL necessary 10 make
any argument for the necessity of proper
investigation as to the sources OF such
streams as furnish water to cities and
towns. All contamination and pollution. OF
drinking water especially, should be re-
moved. and the purpose of this bill is to
ascertain the sources of contamination or
pollution in all rivers and streams from
which a supply of water is furnished to
the people OF more than one State or Ter
ritory. This duty is devolved upon the
Marine Hospital Service because il has all
the facilities for making such investiga-
ton
"The amendment suggested by the Game
and Fish Protective Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia is a most important one.
and the facts and reasons for such an
amendment are set forth in a memorial"

A REPUBLICAN TO THE RESCUE.

II deaf ear be turned to the warn
ings of Democratic statesmen, that the
absolute gold standard will bring un-
told misery to the nation and its people,
let the language of United States Sena-
Tor William Eaton Chandler. Republi-
can, from New Hampshire, penetrate
this thick envelope of Grass prejudice.
Senator Chandler opposed the present
currency bill, and among other things,
said:
Those who have absorbed the gold of
the world are trying TO make 1t more
valuable by legislation. That Is the
natural meaning Of the first ten lines
Of the Senate bill. There is no need Of
the law for any other object. AbsO-
lutely no other purpose is to be sub
served by those lines. The passage Of
the bill without adequate recognition
Of the desire and determination of the
American people that silver shall be
remOnetized is a defiance Of the Repub-
lican platform of 1890. and without
such recognition in the bill l cannot
give to 1t my vote. 1t would be un-
qualified gold mOnometallism and to
advocate or submit to this Is abandon
ment of Republican principles.
ANY retarding Of the movement to
make gold more valuable does not suit
the gold class. Further steps are there
fore now demanded, not only that the
existing silver coin shall be put out
from the condition OF real money and
placed In the condition of credit money:
