field. far less for human beings. And yet
such wells continue in service, owing to
the absence of a sufficient prohibitive force,
and their waters are consumed daily by
immediate residents and by stray visitors,
and Washington gets the credit of being a
seat of typhoid Infection, which it Is far
from being. either positively or relatively.
The water supply of this city is today
probably as pure as that of any other city
of its size in the United States drawing
water from river. 1t is unquestionably
much purer than that of very many. In a
short time 1t will be among the best
in the world. thanks to the filtration plant
now In course of construction. While wait
Ing for that work to be finished 1t behooves
every resident to be most particular in point
of the water supply. even though the Po-
tomac Is as free from direct suspicion as
any other large river Boiled water will
not transmit typhoid. But beyond the
water are other possible sources of infec-
ton. such as uncooked vegetables and
fruits. milk and hy-infested kitchens.
Cleanliness. good window screens. q rea-
sonabe degree of care in the kitchen and
particular care in the choice of milk deal

Belmont to the Fore Again.

This from New York news story is of
more than ordinary interest
Mr.. Taggart also announced that Au-
gust Belmont was to have a room at ma
tiona! headquarters, and moreover would
occupy IT every day from this time on to
the close of the campaign. Mr. Taggart
said that he was very glad to have Mr..
Belmonts assistance"
Mr.. Taggart Is a man of gratitude, and
not ashamed of his company. For some
weeks past there has been an effort to ex-
plain Mr.. Belmont, and shoulder him to the
rear. The fear seemed to exist that be-
cause of his large wealth, and the fact Of
his being the American agent of the Roths-
chiids, he must injure Judge Parker's cam
paign If permitted to appear too promi-
nently in 1t. For this reason he was de-
MED the place which Mr.. Taggart himself
now holds.
Mr.. Taggart has evidently smoothed
things over and made it possible for Mr..
Belmont to come to the front again. His
place is there. AS the story goes. he sup
piled the means for the Parker campaign
up to the meeting of the ST. Louis conven-
ton. He was the banker of the candidacy,
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Sheehan We're it's d.
rectors The three worked together,
and very successfully. They landed the
Sage of Esopus in gallant style, against
the Bryan-HearSt opposition and the perils
of a rather uncertain southern support.
Since then only Mr.. Sheehan has figured
in the limeight Both Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Belmont have kept, or been kept, In the
background. The independents of New
York have protested against the former,
and the Bryanites of the middle west
against the latter.
1t was time for this sort of hugger-
to cease. Let the Parker campaign go for
ward with a frank confession of who are
behind 1t and what victory will mean. MIR.
Hill may not care for the Secretaryship or
State or any other cabinet office. but that
he will be a power with the Parker admin
istration Is certain. Likewise. Mr. Belmont
may not care for the SecretaIyship of the
Treasury. But that he VIII be consulted
about who shall fill that office, and have
voice in the selection of the man, we need
not doubt 1t Is the one place of most IN
terest to him in his business, and the one
he profted largely by in the closing days OF
the second Cleveland administration when
a certain astonishing bond deal was made

Confidence at Statesboro'.

This is from the latest press report of the
situation at StateSboro':
"One well-known business man. who ad-
mts his leadership of the mob and who
admits he had part in the burning of
the negroes. stated that the plans to kill
the two negroes at the end of the trial re-
gardlesS of what the verdict might be.
We're formulated the day before the trial.
Excepting that it not previously de-
termined that burning should be the meth
cd. these plans, he declared were carried
out exactly as made. The same citizen
his name. as well as others who had an
active part in the killing of the prisoners
He said that no grand jury would indict
and no petit jury In this county would find
guilty any man who had part III the work"
This man. we may be sure. knows his
ground and feels safe on it. He has no
fear of the law. He has seen that made a
mockery of too often where negroes were
concerned. grand jury hard pressed
might, for forms sake, indict but no petit
jury of that vicinage would ever convict.
Rowdies? OF course there always are row.
dies participating In such work and they
are usually the first on the scene and the
loudest in championing civilization" But
they are always assured of respectable
leadership and protection. That is what
makes the problem so appalling. A mob
composed solely of rowdes is never for
midable in the face of resolute officials a
rowdy in the last analysis. lacks sand.

Tom Watson in New York.

Mr.. Watson sounds the Bryan slogan
quite az well as Mr.. Bryan himself does.
All he lacks is the Bryan voice and girth
and smile. He reels off phrases with great
ease. One may speak of the Bryan slogan
without accusing Mr. Watson of being a
mere copyist. The truth is that the Geor-
gia man was sounding that same slogan a
dozen or more years ago. IT'S his. tbs
Bryan's; 1t has been text for thousands 1t
is simply so associated with the campaigns
OF 1896 and 1900. which Mr.. Bryan led, that
1t has come to bear the Nebraskan's name.
1t Is the slogan of populism adjusted to
new conditions, and adjustable to any con-
ditions by men ambitious of political prefer
ment. and skilled in the art of creating
and then playing upon. discomfort.
A big audience listened and applauded
last night. How many votes were repro
scented no one may safely say New York
Is a great show town. and any sort of spec
tacle attracts. Mr. Bryan addressed enor-
nous crowds there in his two campaigns
but lost the state by large majorities Gu
riosity probably explains a part of Mr.
NatSons apparent success.
But there are states where such a speech
Will tell In the west and in the middle
states the old Bryan contingent will listen
convention and the reorganiz ID democracy
with feelings of approval. 1t will appeal
TO men who have been educated on free
silver and distrust of Wall street 1t re-
cites facts which cannot be ignored by the
farkerites or sneered at or laughed away
Mr.. Watson will stump in those sections
and we may be very certain that he will
not lack for attention.
The Star predicted the other day that
Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Bryan would clash
FOR the leadership of the democracy after
November. The prediction is rendered en-
tirely safe by the speech of last night
MIR. Bryan may canvass for Parker, and
work in the harness with HILL Sheehan
Belmont and Company, but he stands In
reality where Mr.. Watson stands. His
heart is in the cause which Mr.. Watson is
now advocating. So that, when the time
comes. the record he is now making will
rise up to embarrass him. He will have
to answer for going over to the enemy
