OUR BAoHRIoLoGIsT

With no disposition TO find fault, we
wish TO ask what necessity is there for
bactoriologist to be employed regu-
larly by THE Water Department? While
the salary Of this official will not be-
come n great burden to the city, and
while we admit that the selection seems
a good one. yet there cannot be enough
work requiring the serves of,such an
Official for as much as one month out
Of twelve. It would have been feasible
to have sent specimens of the water TO
Newark CIR to Philadelphia from time
to time; the examinations would have
been accurate and the expense would
have been only a few hundreds of doll
lars at the most 1t is utterly impos-
sible for the Water Commission to
keep man employed all the time with
the necessary work.
Of counse, the services OF a compe-
tent ibacteriologist will be necessary to
test The water after the new filter shall
have been built and put in operation, in
order to ascertain whether it is in ac-
cordance with the clause OF the con
tract relating TO the exclusion OF bac-
terra. but that will not be under a
year. Meanwhile, OF course, he may
give his attention 10 the system now
in use. But suppose he should discover
the prevalence of deadly germs, would
1t bennet us in any way? We recently
had an analysis Of the city water, and
typhoid germs were found in great
quantities, an epidemic followed, but
the expert opinion didn't help matters
a particle Even the information was
withheld from the public. and there
was nothing done to purify the water.
possibly because nothing could be
done, So it occurs to us THAT we are
going to pay a salary to an expert who
will be Of service to us only few days
In the year.

rae LEAGUE HUMoRIsr

The city is going to be redeemed We
know that an incredulous smile wiul
greet this announcement. but our
savior is at hand. The Popocratic |
League has held another meeting, and
has organized some more, and resoluted
at greater length. 1t is the most thor
oughly organized machine In America.
Last night the League organized new
body TO be called the Democratic Mu-
nicipal League-a wheel within a
wheel, with numerous spokes and
spokesmen.
The League proposes "a new depart
ure." II will weigh the credentials of
all candidates and pass on their quail
hcations and when it has decided to its
own satisfaction that men pattern their
lives after the Kansas City platform,
and mention Bryan in their prayers at
least twice daily, they will receive the
approval Of the organization. and all
persons, Democrats and Republicans,
will be permitted to vote for them.
There is nothing that Is narrow about
the League. Just allow It to select the
candidates. and there will be no objec-
lion to their support by Republicans
gold Democrats. Addicksltes and re
formers.
AS we understand the position o
the League. it holds that there is nj
necessity for the Republicans to nomi
nate a ticket. since national Tolitic
: doesn't enter into this contest. an
, therefore only the Kansas City plat
form should be the test Just eiimi
E nate politics, and simply pledge all can
j didates to support free silver. anti-im
r perialism and free trade. and all wi

Frederica, April 3.-Tlhe creamery

could not be stopped and the plant was
burned to the ground.
So furious was the conflagration that
it took the hardest kind of work to
save the adjoining buildings from be-
ing burned. The factory was only part

whether he viii rebuild or not. Several
people are thrown out of employment
by the fire and a large number OF farm

EDITORIAL OPINION
National Drink elIIs.

National Drink Bills.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The Rev. Dawson Burns makes an
estimate of the drink bill in the thrce
sections of the United Kingdom, Eng
land, Scotland and ireland. and finds
that the cost per capita TO England,
with 32,995,614 population, is s21.9f; in
Scotland, with a population of 4,531 ,299,
$l755; in Ireland with a population OF
4,452,597, $15.6S. On the per capita basis
Scotland consumes almost as much
spirits as England and Ireland COM
Ibined, while England consumes more
beer than Scotland and Ireland com
hined. The American Grocer prints
the details of our own drink bill. A
comparison will be interesting. The
American drink bin in 1902, including
coffee, tea and cocoa, classed as light
stimulants reaching high-water mark,
the total bill being 81 1863 03S ,276, repre-
senting a per capita expenditure for
stimulants Of $1733 for the 79,033.000
people OF the United States, or Al cents
Per day. The cost at retail OF alcoholic
and malt drinks was sl,172, ,565, ,235. OF
coffea s149,S31 ,O30, of tea $39,642,01
and of cocoa s7,OOO,0O0 amounting 70
total Of s1,369, ,OSS,276, as compared
with $l,273, ,212, ,2S6 in 1901. Since 1880
the use OF alcoholic beverages has near
ly doubled The consumption OF coffee
has risen rom SIS pounds per capita to
1897 pounds, and that of tea has drop
ped from J.39 pounds to 094 pounds.
SO far as quantity goes we are ma
ton OF coffee-drlnkers. We drink more
coffee than anything else. Then beer
then tea, and lastly spirits and wine
The American Grocer seems to be war

rect, in the conclusion that 1.-THE Ameri-
can people are temperate In the use OF
stimulants and that they are not in
creasing their use Of such as tend to

ASTRONOMY ann RELIGION

Mans relative positions in the uni
verse and the place the earth occupies
in the celestial economy, are questions
agitating the astronomical world. In
the early days Of the race humanity
was self-cmtmed. The earth was re-
garded, not only as the centre OF the
universe, but as practically the whole
Of it. The sun, moon and stars were
only 50 MANY lamps to illumine the
earth, and the fact that we were one
Of a countless number Of planets whirl-
ing In space, was long in obtaining ac-
ceptanca But in recent years science
has gone to the other extreme. The
planets have been weighed and rleas-
red, and their contents pretty accu-
rately cataloEued. We have found that
this old earth when compared with
more pretenti0us planets is a rather
Insignificant orb. and consequently, tho
habit has grown Of regarding its in
habitants as inferior creatures. Ther'
have been learned articles to show
the possibility Of an infinitely highe
race Of beings occupying the large
planets. We have even gone so far a
to talk Of signaling TO the inhabitart
OF Mars. and speak Of the people o
the moon with some familiarity.
All CT these speculations and SUI
misses have had tendency to upset OF
religious beliefs. If all the planets an
inhabitated. and if they contain cre'
lures OF superior intelligence, then "
are by comparison exceedingly insign
ncanf. and we are led TO doubt the il
innate and fatherly solicftude Of d
