Democratic Prospects.

A correspondent OF the Brooklyn Eagle
has recently interviewed Ex-Governor
George w. Peck, Of Wisconsin, now Demo-
cratic nominee OF the party for Governor
against the two Republican nominees.
Governor Peck recalls that in 1890 the
state went Democratic by. large ma
jorty, and that tho Democrats. as soon
as they were Installed, repealed the Re-
publican parochial school measure, which
was so hateful to the people, and prose-
cuted former State treasurors sand their
ibondsmen to the end Of recovering the
moneys which these officials had re-
ceived as interest on State funds. These
moneys had been withheld from the State
treasury and used as private perquisites'
and Governor Peck says that he had the
pleasure of seeing about $4,000 recovered
TO the state under Democratic manage
ment.
In 1892 tho Democrats again carricd the
State, elecung their local ticket by q
plurality Of 1900 and their presidential
electors by $500.
In this campaign the Republicans are
split, and the two factions IRE bitterly
fighting one another g overnof Peck says
that for the past several years Demo-
Gratis have been mixing up III the Repub-
lican factional fight, because things wcrc
quiet in their own camp. - Now. how
ever he adds, a lively war is on against
the common enemy; there is fighting.
too. against the tribe with which they
have been mixing UP, just for the sake
Of fight, and 1 believe that they will
come back In body to do loyal battle.
on their own account"
From all accounts it appears that the
Democrats at least have fighting chance
in Wisconsin. and the latest news from
Indiana is encouraging. Soon after the
Democratic convention in st. Louis the
tide Of public sentiment ran strongly
toward Judge Parker. Indeed. Judge
Parker remarked privately that he feared
things were coming his way rather too
fast. BY which he meant that he would ]
prefer to see the enthusiasm later on in
the cam paigll. 1t Is needless TO deny
that there has been something Of a re-
action. But 1t is some time yet before
election, and by and BY. when the cam
paiEners get down to work in good
earnest the people will become aroused
~. i nd the popular tide Will again flow to-
ward Esopus

Our Water Supply.

The statement made in The Times-Ds-
patch on yesterday fiat Dr.. E. c. Levy
has been making tests Of Richnlond's
supply of drinking water Is q report al
together comforting and reassuring. Upon
The report OF DR.. Levy's report on work
done during the past three months the
Water Committee recommended to the
Council an ordinance appropriating $1,000
to continue the work for n period of one
year. according to DR.. Lcvy's recon-
mendation.
The ordinance should by all means be
adopted. The Virginia Board OF Health
reported that more than 90 per cent. OF
the cases of typhoid fever in Richmond
have their origin in drinking water. 1t
Is, therefore. matter of supreme I'M
portance that the water supply of this
city should be kept pure and free from
disease germs and out Of abundant pre-
caution the tests should be frequent and
continuous. IT Is not enough TO know
that the water supply was pure last
month or even last week. Tests should
be made at frequent intervals and money
could not be expended to better purpose
Fortunately our drinking water. barring
mud, is generally pue. but no risks
should be taken. The water may be-
come contaminated at any time. and 1t
u will be source OF great comfort to the
residents Of the city to know that an
expert Is on guard. and that he Is apply
sSirg scientific tests regularly and con-
= tinuously that he may detect a, mo.

The Free Bridge.

In The Times Dispatch of yesterday let
tiers we're printed from officials in num-
her of cities showing that the day Of the
toll bridge is past. 1t Is relic OF O less
progressive age. Tho American people
in this age believe in the open-door poll
cy. Each and every progressive city IS
advertising Its advantages to the world
and inviting outsiders to come In without
money and without price. Indeed, many
such cities are offering as inducements to
visiting merchants free transportation.
There should be no such thing as
FOL, bridge in this community. 1t is a
bar to trade 1t is inhesvitable, eHclu-
e siye. offensive and undemocratic. and
poor advertisement for progressive city.
The Times Dispatch has always been
opposed to toll bridges and has been
heartily in favor OF the purchase or
AIayo's Bridge by the cities Of Richmond
and Manchester, that 1t may be rebuilt
and converted into a free bridge. But
we were opposed to purchasing the bridge

old Council for the reason that there
was a.valuable option on the bridge,
which would expire on September LIST,
and which probably could not be. renew

and the whole question has now been re-
ferred to the city engineer for invests

Council will now see its way to pass
the measure and let the work OF con-
struction proceed rs rapidly as possible.

Much has been said OF late concerning
civic duties, but we have seen nothing
more to the point than the following en-
tract from an address by Mr.. Charles L..
hutchinson, president Of the Chicago
Art Institute:
every man should put into the city
in which he lives as much as he gets
out of it. If he does not take pride IN
his community. he Is less than man.
and not worthy to live In 1t. A wealthy
man does not, as a usual thine, MAKE

his obliga lions can be discharged SIM

the State has a right to demand from

but also a 1.-THE of his thought. his time
and his life.
During the war between the States
there we're men in the South--only
few. thank God--who did not join the
ranks, but sent a hired substitute. There
are men in the South to-day, and we fear
thev are many. who take a similar view
of their civic duties. They may know
that the governments affairs are not
properly conducted. They may know that
they are paying more taxes than they
ought 10 pay. They may know that the
government needs their services. but they
will not volunteer for service and they
will not suffer themselves to be con-
scripted. They send substitutes, they
try TO discharge their obligations in cash;

pay more taxes than they ought to pay,
II by paying they may be exempt from
