Revised Claims.

The Republicans had confidently counted
upon a walk-over in the Presidential race and
claimed s04 electoral votes without any serious
contest. Judge Parker's stand for the gold
standard, and the nomination Of Henry g.
Davis, has wrought change and enlhused
the Democrats to such an extent in the big
States, says the New York Herald, that the
revised list ofStates certain for Roosevelt have
but 1876 electoral votes, when 239 are neces-
sary to win. After conference of Roose-
welt, Cortelyou and others, the following States
are put in the doubtful column-New York,
Connecticut. New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois
aud Wisconsin. These have l13 electoral
votes, and the Republicans concede that the
battle in them will be fierce and doubtful.

Republicans Frightened.

Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican ma.
t;onal committee, has voiced the sentiment of
the President and the Republican leaders, in
the remark that the Republican party is con-
fronted by reunited and militant Democracy.
This means that the Republican leaders re-
gard the situation serious aud threatening.
And well they may. Judge Parker has never
been defeated. He was twice elected Surro-
gate in Republican county, and in 1897
was elected Chief Judge of the Supreme Court
of New York by 10000, though the State had
given Mckinley 26s,OOO majority the year
previous.

KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO
How an Old Citizen Managed to Get
Himself Into a Scrape

TITS Just as well to know who you are

porter. III had been cautious l would not
have been caught In a disagreeable scrape
the other day." he said, land here's the
story:
~ was persuaded. by my eldest daughter
to take a promenade just about noon on
recent beautiful and sunshiny day. Natu-
rally she steered me along street and
depleted my purse to a considerable extent.
] didn't care much for that, however but
as we were walking along. keeping up with
the procession my companion began COM
planning to me about having corns on her
toes and while expiating on that not very
poetic topic suddenly stopped to gaze at the
flowers in a florists shop window. kept on
and just then some one caught up and was
right by my side. so / resumed the CONVEX
sation where we left Off. "Of course you
have corns on your toes said !. land
you will have unless you conquer your
propensity to wear shoes two sizes TOO
small for you"

said, 'Siri, goes with me yet.

were explained. She was an acquaintance

well-known antiseptic, and sulphateS of
kme, a chemical disintegrant may have
the power of destroying the organisms
upon which the mosquito feeds. but this
is entirely different from actually annihi-
lating the malarial parasite. In fact IL
has not yet been proven that the malarial
protozoon exists outside the limited cycle
of transference from the man to the mos
quito and back again. That the parasite
is propagated in swamps stagnant
streams Is more reasonable inference
than a positive conclusion. So the claim
of killing the microbe in the manner sug-
gested can hardly be sustained by any
demonstrated fact.
The whole subject of wholesale abolition
of typhoid ard
process would narrow itself to the mere
boiling and filtration of drinking water. on
one hand and the long wished extermina-
ton of the mosquito on the other. Some
times, after all. the simplest and most
rational methods are the best in spite
of the many half-cocked theories on dis
ease prevention whose only bid for notice
rests on their novelty and pretentious prob
ability.

GERM DESTRUCTION.
Method of Purifying Drinking Water
by Chemical Solutions.
From the New York Herald.


If the latest announcement from the Ag
ricultural Department, that drinking water
can be so purified to eliminate the ty-
phoid and malarial germs as well as to
destroy all hurtful vegetable matter con-
tanned in it, prove true, the greatest of all
recent strides will have been made in pro-
tecting the public health and in guarding
against constantly recurring epidemics.
The great difficulty, however, in the way
of possibly realizing the promises made
is the actual demonstration of the fact.
So far, at least, the matter is merely one
of tentative experiment and plausible the
Dry. Unfortunately also for unqualified
faith in the results the predictions made
are hardly in accord with the more recent
scientific views on water publication.
To kill the typhoid germ in water by a
chemical solution and still have the doc
tored stun potable and healthy is not in
itself very taking proposition to the ordi-
nary aesthetic Individual. 1t Is well known
that the typhoid bacillus is peculiarly re-
sistant to the action of even the most pow
erful chemical antiseptics, and that thor
ough boiling is the only trustworthy meth
Cd of killing 1t. The only difficulty In the
application of the measure is that the
water becomes in itself, so to speak, life
less and has fiat and unappetizing taste.
Still, in the choice of evils, it has the add
vantage of being extremely simple and al
ways available.
Regarding vegetable scum on surface
water, thorough aeration is the accepted
scientific theory of its disposal, as by such
means the organisms are not only killed.
but transformed into new and harmless
chemical bodies. The running spring thus
furnishes typical purity.
For decayfng and putrescent vegetation
there is nothing more effective than prop
er filtration. 1t is mere matter of physi-
cal displacement and separation without
in any way damaging the thirst-allaying
properties of the water. What is to be
gained by merely killing the various algae
and allowing the dead product to precipi-.
tate itself on the bottom of the ponds is
difficult to understand from any SUPPOSE
ton of absolute publication. In fact, ex-
cept for the surprising statements to the
contrary by the agricultural board, this
would seem to be the very difficulty to be
avoided, as hidden contamination would
nevertheless make itself more and more in
evidence as the practice continued.
Putrescent vegetation Is mostly due to
debris washed by rains from the surface,
and 1t is not the result of the decay of the
natural aquatic plants. But the running
streams take care of this undesirable pro-
duct In their own way. Thus by killing
the natural product we only add an extra
element OF decomposition which has no
right to be there.
Possibly the Bordeaux mixture, COM
posed, as 1t Is, of sulphate of copper.
