The. Water Supply.

The pure water committee Of the
Women's Improvement league T. are
very persistent in their agitation of the
water question. They took up the
matter originally for the purpose of
obtaining pure water for the public
schools and presented a very trouble
some argument when they cited the
care taken by the municipality to pro-
vide all other departments of the city
with pure drinking water while neg
Ilecting the children Of the public
schools. Among those whoare agitating
this question are mothers Of children
in the schools and they cannot be ex-
pected to be Indifferent to this ano-
malous condition Of things which re-
CARDS the health and life of all en-
ployees Of the city in the offices and
departments and neglects to care for
the school children.
This matter has outgrown, how
ever, the question Of pure water for
the schools and the agitation has TAX
en- the form Of pure water for every
body. In order to bring out Inn
portant facts bearing upon this cues
ton, T he Journ al has prepared
to-day statement showing the differ
ent plans that might be pursued ii
i order to improve the quality Of oul
water supply. This is done not fol
the purpose Of advocating any one Q.

We as old soldiers, appreciate
it greatly, And we are glad that many de-
bilitated old comrades can be so taken

pension that it scarcely starts towards,
housekeeping. Many a one must leave vito.

no dependents. Yet they should have their

tanned for six or seven months. Cot
ton that a few years ago sold at &c to
Sc a. pound has sold to .15c and 16c,
while the speculative markets have
witnessed even higher figures for cot
ton futures. Not since 1886 have
there been such cotton prices, except
ing In the civil war period and the
period Immediately following. The
south has wallowed in wealth. Pros
perity unlike anything seen since ante
bellum days has spread all over Dixie
New Orleans bank clearings have
doubled. and in that city as In other
southern cities so much Improvement
has been planned as will break every
record, and much Of it is under way.
The farmers and business men OF. the
south have hailed Sully as their Moses.
who led them into the land of milk
and honey.
Meanwhile the, legitimate cotton
trade has been upset ais never before;
many New England mills have been
closed, and thousands of operators
rendered idle, for with prices Of fin
ished products so high that none
would buy, and prices Of raw material
subject to such 'erratic and violent
fluctuation that the manufactures
dared not operate, there was nothing
to do but close. ss- i.
England has been hit even worse,
and much suffering has been reported
in Lancashire. On our side the secre-
tary of agriculture has fought 1t out
with the price manipulators, on the
generally unpopular ground that the
prosperity Of the south was being
purchased largely at the expense OF
legitimate industry. On the other
side King Edward took occasion to re,
fer to the cotton situation in his ad-
dress to parliament. Now the big
bull leader is down. Much unsettle'
ment will probably follow, but from
now on everything will be working
more and more towards the establish.
ment of prices upon a legitimate sup
ply and demand basis. -. ~; F:

A Southern Candidate.

Thomas F. Ryan, vice president of
the Morton. Trust Company of New
York, and a democrat of prominence,
nominate the democratic candidate for
president and make the. democratic
platform. He thinks it time to restore
to the south that recognition in party
councils which it had in former times
The southern states would give more
than three -fourths of the vote neces-
sary to elect democratic president,
and he. thinks that, with strong and
conservative leadership, they could
command the necessary votes in the
convention 10 select a southern man
for the candidate. = s.. ~
And why not? sCertainly it is no
more than fair, If the south Is going
to furnish the electoral votes that
elect a democrat, that the south should
be relieved, among democrats at least,
Of the prejudice and discredit implied
in the fact that no southern man is
ever thought Of as a candidate for
president, The south furnishes to-day
the most influential democratic lead
err. John Sharp Williams, who is in
telleetually one Of the strongest men
in the house. man Of fine character
and rare. attachments, is directing the
action Of the opposition in that body
and If it were not for the fact that
he comes from the south he would
be the logical candidate Of his party
for president. It may be true thai
any southern man would be handi.
capped by sectional prejudice at this
time; but doubtless one Of the mos
effectual ways in which to break dowr
sectional feeling would be to name
one OF the candidates for president
/ from the south. It would mark a new
period in.political history and nigh
lhelp to solve the problem OF the sole
south.
