IJvTT4TIoNs OF FILTRATION.

c.ood riIr nrobal1ly come out of evil at ithaca
Tho endemic Of typhoid fever there is deplor-
able and disastrous. 1t was made possloie oiiis
through gross neglect of the fundamental pi
cipIes of sanitary precaution. But the uasie
lesson is apparently being taken to heari' an"
also 10 mind and hand. Something viii be Done
about it The present outlook is that sclen'ill1
filtration beds will be created. and that pelole
long the CITY of Ithaca will itself acquire anu
operate its entire water plant as every cl'hlHeu
municipality should do. With proper hllrallon
beds this deadly epidemic never could have oc-
curred With their establishment now lts re-
currence in future will be averted
II is well to remember. however that mira
ton has its limitations, and so, TOO, mas ile
boiling of water. Probably either or those
processes. thoroughly performed. and certainty
both of them, will destroy the germs OF t!phola
fever or of cholera, and prevent the tralslnls-
sion of those diseases through contaminated
water But it is exceedingly doubtful Wheiher
either or both together can make contaminated
wafer entirely innocuous Filtration removes
from water the bacteria of disease, and also all
insoluble particles of foreign matter, and DOLL
ing kills all living germs. But there are GER
tain soluble toxins, produced by the bacteria
or otherwise. which filtering does not remove
and which boiling does not destroy or neutral
ize. These will not cause typhoid fever OF
cholera or any such disease But they are likely
IA cause other grave troubles in the stomach,
kidneys and elsewhere. There is little doubt
that a large amount of illness and death is to be
charged TO that source.
II NAV be that water could De freed from
such poisons by fltering through carbon and
other chemicals. but such a system is scarcely
practicable on a large scale for a whole city. 1t
can surely be freed from them by distllauon,
but that is something which cannot well be
done wholesale. The only course municipality
can pursue is 10 exercise that unceasing vigil
ance which is the price of health as we'll as OF
liberty. The sources of the water supply must
be carefully guarded. The notion that run
ming water purifes ITSELF must be dismissed;
and the water, after all possible safeguarding,
must be daily examined, microscopically and
chemically, so as to detect the first appearance
of either bacteria or toxic products All this
will cause much labor and much expense. But
human health and life are worth it, Would it
! not have been worth while for Ithaca to do SO
rather than TO incur the present epidemic?

Informed that movement has been organized
In the United States by y''German-Americans" to
send statue of Washington to Germany IN
recognition of the German Emperor's gift OF
the statue of Frederick the Great. says that
such a gift should be treated like the one by
which it was inspired. Inasmuch as the Amer
lean Congress refused to give the Emperor S
gift place a public square in Washington
similar to places set aside for Lafayette and
Rochambeau. but sent the statue to the Mill
tary Academy gardens" the Washington statue
should not be allowed to stand in Berlin. ITO
''place the statue in public place in Berlin
would be an act inconsistent with German
pride. and the only place for such gift would
''be the garden of the German military acad-
'emy."
The hint may act as a warning to the men
who proposed the gift, and the German military
garden may be deprived of an artistic feature
which would have typifed the Germans ap-
preciation of courtesy to the country of their
adoption.

JUDGES AND POLITICAL AMBITION.

Cnquestionably there is much truth in what
Justice Goodrich has just said about the danger
,f letting political ambition enter the judicial
mind. Some of our best judges were trained
for the bench in the school OF politics. Mar
shall Taney and Chase were politicians up 10
he time that they became chief justices of the
Supreme Court. But few judges have ever re-
nrned TO politics with any advantage to them
ieives. Perhaps the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the removal OF David Davis from the
United States Supreme Court to the Senate had
some share ia making that translation seem
anything but an advancement TO be proud Of
Certainly il was the disaster which finally over
,ook Judge Folger in politics rather than his
removal from the bench TO the Cabinet of Pres
dent Arthur, that has made his fate point many

rom the bench into the Cabinet with honor to
themselves and benefit TO the country. Jere-
niah s. Black left the Supreme Court of Penn
Iylvauia 10 become Attorney General. E. Rock
wood Hoar and later Charles Devens filed the
same Office after resigning from the Supreme
court Of Massachusetts.
II may be said that the Attorney Generalship
is an office in the line of judicial advancement
like seat in more important court. Yet other
Cabinet offices have been filed by judges, and
we think the State or the Treasury Department
would be highly attractive TO many judges and
In taking il they would not be thought TO yield
to unworthy ambition There is, however, a
great difference between the picking by others
of an eminent man for places like these and
the nursing On the bench of booms for elective
office. and for that matter there is not much
difference between bees for political Office and
bees for higher judicial Office which are al
lowed 10 buzz much 10 the interference with
the work of the lower courts. The growing
habit of considering the courts as nurseries Of
political availability is rightly to be discour-
aged The Democratic party in this State has

They are generally decent men, at least men
against whom nothing particular is known, and,

claring themselves or important issues and
from the animosities of active life, they are
generally thought TO be good harmonizers.

The real simon-pure public damned au-
tocrat is not always the railroad magnate. the
head Of q soulless corporation the trust billion

spicuous private citizen, of modest means, who
never owned dollars worth Of stocks or bonds

work for the public good-and incidentally for
the fuIilment of the law-and too mean to pay
a couple of dimes to some one else for doing it,
and the result is that the public has to suffer.
On Monday morning the sidewalks of this city
were coated with ice. In most cases it was not
frozen fast, but had layer of water under

perfectly clean was an easy task, which even
a child might perform. But if 1t was not done
it was impossible to walk along the sidewalk with
comfort or security. or indeed without positive
peril to limb and life. Many householders
promptly cleared off the skim of ice and all
was well before their houses. But many others
simply grunted. 1.-The public be damnedr' and

1t is little thing. So is it little thing to get

II Is Thought to Have Seelred Control
of the Mesah2 Range. e
Duluth, Mimi, Dec. S0.-The United
States Steel corporation is exhibiting
q remarkable aggressiyeness just now
in the ore and mining fields. 1t is ev-
identity gathering in all the mines and
ore lands in the lake region that 1t can.
While steel mills can be built by any
man who has the price ore mines can
not and hold OF the source Of ore
supply available for the eastern part
of the United States will make it hold
on the trade stronger than any other
possible investment. For this reason
4 it secured the Sharon and Union Steel
companies, and since then has bought
the Champion mine, near Republic,
which was owned in Boston and was
almost the only property left in the
lake country without steel mill or
transportation connections. For this
mine and surrounding lands the steel
corporation is said to have paid $2,0OO,-
coo, but this is supposed to be above
the actual figure. The corporation has
also made deal with ]. j. Hill for his
ore lands on the Mesaba range that
are not in the hands of other concerns.
Mr.. Hills road is to have the haul and
Mr. HilPs personal companies which
own the fees of these lands are to have
royalty on all ore mined and shipped,
making a very large source OF income
to the Great Northern and Mr.. Hill.
1t is impossible to tell how much ore
this deal covers, but in any event il
practically puts the control of the Me-
saba range in the hands Of the steel
corporation.
