A Source of Revenue.

Pittsburg has found a new source
Of revenue for the municipal treasury,
and IL is one which other cities might
seek with profit. Her police force
arrested thirty Washers" for ogling
women on the street, one evening,
and they deposited in collateral some
$1,000, most of which was forfeited.
A few more such hauls would make
Pittsburg rich and respectable at the
same time.
There is no reason why other cities
infested with like nuisances should
not take the same means Of enriching
themselves at the expense of low
scamps. A man who makes a bust
ness Of standing on street corners and
annoying decent women deserves to
be mulcted Of his cash. There is no
room for him on the street, and until
he reforms there should be no room
for him on the earth. The problem
of regulating and controlling vice,
where it cannot be abolished, is a diff
ficult one, and may take time for its
solution; but the "masher' problem
is never difficult unless it is made so
by cowardly city officials and political
pull The police can always dispose
of men who insult women on the
street, simply by making it danger
GUS for them to do so. This kind of
animal is a coyote, and a mere show
Of force will send him scurrying to
his own place. The places where it is
disagreeaDle, and even dangerous, for
respectable women to go about alone,
are the places where the police force
IS insufficient or Indifferent There
IS no reason why It should not be
safe, in the respectable streets of any
American city, for a woman 10 30

most cities women can be protected

reputable, If the city government is
determined that this shall be done.

EdTlu Marriages.

There is always more or less dis
cussion about marriage. That is
natural. 1t is a human institution
which in its infinite variety either
makes or mars the life of almost
every human being. The discussion
now centers upon the desirability Of
early marriages. A Massachusetts
clergyman is quoted as saying the
marriages made before the age of
twenty-five are likely 10 be the hap
piest. II has often been alleged that
people who put off marrying until
late in life are likely not to do it at
all
But there is one point which has
not been made clear in this discus
sion, and that is, the reason why so
many people marry late. 1t is not at

JeffeTSoniGn Simplicity.

There are signs that this will be
a campaign Of common sense, and
that the JeffersDnian simplicity boyle
will at last be Telegated to the attic,
with other relics of partisan warfare.
For about one generation now our
ears have been assailed at intervals
by the cry for a return to the sim
plicity of JEFFERSON" AS a matter of
fact, and as any one may easily dis
cover by consulting a history of the
times, jefferson was one of the rich
est men of his day, and loved luxury
quite as well as did any of his con-
temporaries- OF course, luxury as we
know it was not then attainable, but
he possessed himself Of all that was
to be had. In those days the salary
Of a Congressman was less than
$4,000. Does any Democratic Con-
gresham desire to return to that
form of simplicity?
1t should be evident to every in
telligent person that, with the
growth Of the country in wealth. dig
nifty and importance, the necessary
expenses Of the executive and legis-
latiVe departments increase. What
was prudent and proper for a strug-
Cling new-made Republic is parsi-
monious and ridiculous for one of the
biggest. and wealthiest nations in the
world 1t is not necessary that we
should emulate monarchies in our
pomp and ceremony, and there is no
danger whatever that we shall. Our
Presidents in recent years have been
men of simple personal tastes, and
little inclination TO luxury. They
havesin some cases leaned too far to
the other extreme. The true Jeffer-
sonian simplicity demands that
the President do as jefferson
did-entertain his friends and the
guests of the nation in a manner be-
coming his dignity and theirs. and
not such as. to cause sensation or
comment; and this is what is likely
to be done by any future occupant Of
the White House, Democrat or Re
publican.

great part Of the responsibility of So

Have the theorists who favor early

River Water.

They are having an, argument in
the Middle West over the question
whether Mississippi River water is fit
10 drink Considering the fact that
the Illinois River, carrying Chicago
sewage, dumps itself into the Missis-
sippi, and that the accumulated sew
age of st. Paul, Minneapolis, Dubuque,
Burlington. Omaha, Kansas City and
St Louis, to say nothing of other
towns. cities and villages, reaches the
Father of Waters sooner or later,
there seems to be room for doubt on
the subject. In fact, one of these
days there is bound to be- a general
questioning of the propriety Of getting
rid of sewage by means of running
streams which other people use for
drink.
1t has hitherto been held that in
flowing for several miles in contact
with sunlight and pure air, a river
was bound to purify itself of what
ever pollution it might have en-
cOuntered in its course. This has
now come to be seriously doubted
Jacob Riis investigated the subject in
connection with a cholera scare in
New York, and found that cholera
germs could exist in running water
for some days. Moreover, while it
might be true that large river could
dispose of q certain amount of filth
gathered in course Of its travels, even
the Mississippi may find difficulty in
getting rid of the filth thrown off by
a city of more than a million in
habitants. and both Chicago and the
smaller cities along the course of the
Mississippi and Missouri are bound TO
grow indefinitely for several years to
come. Many of these cities will un-
doubtedly adopt filtration systems be-
fore long. but that will not dispose of
the evil. The towns and villages
which get their supply of water from
the rivers will not establish filtration
plants as soon as the cities, and peo-
pie from the cities will visit these
towns, and people from the towns
viii come to the city, and typhoid
fever and other diseases will be kept
going in this way. The only safe
plan is the general adoption of a
sewage system by which the sewage
will not be dumped into the drinking
water at all, or into any other kind
of water, for that matter. In several
European cities it is used as a fer
tilizing agent, and if the farms and
Manifestations fortified in this way
are properly managed, danger from
sewage-engendered disease is reduced
70 minimum. But these things can
only be accomplished by legal restric-
ton and general intelligence. Some
times it takes law to start people
thinking OF subject, and il always
takes legal penalties TO educate the
reckless and ignorant regarding laws
OF health. Finally, and most impor-
tant of all, the laws must be enforced
There must be no lodging OF them
on the part of towns, individuals. or
corDoratiOns,-and this is the worst
difficulty in the way. Much as she
has been maligned, Nature dfoes her
best to keep US healthy. The trouble
Is that man is determined to put other
things before health.
