We mention the subject BY way Of CIV
Ing practical hint to water drinkers In
Richmond who are unable to purchase
an expensive filter. A correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Ledger says that n fair
IL good filter may be rugged up ut an
expense or from 10 cents to Is cents. THO
following articles arc necessary: An or
binary red earthenware flower pot. not
less than six inches In diameter; small
quartity Of ordinary beach sand, one
or two ounce package Of absorbent cot
ton. Tho larger tho pot the less VIII 20
the attention required by the filter Tho
pot should be scrubbed clean with soap
ard hot water, then soaked IN hot Wa
ter. rlnsed off and dried.
The sand should also DO cleansed with
hot water. A piece of absorbent cotton
sufficiently large to plug UP very tightly
the hole In the bottom Of the flower pot
and To spread out Oh the inside Of tho
bottom Is then drawn partly through the
hole from the inside to the outside. Tho
Gotten, when In place, should be some
what tho shape Of mushroom, with Its
stun, sticking downward through the
hole. 1t must be packed into thu hole so
tightly that nothing but water can pass
through. Tho success Of the filter de-
penls upon this, !.
on top Of the inside cotton pour sand
until the flower pot is filled to the depth
ct four or more inches, and the filter is
made. The water Is poured in gently on
top Of the sand, and It will drop out from
the projecting cotton fairly clear.
rho filter should then be put on the
ton of some other vessel into which the
filtered wator cam caught. The cor
respondent suggests as a. further precau-
ton that the water be boiled In order to
remove every possible danger At this
season OF the year when tho farmers are
a.. work and the water Of the james be :
comes more than ever polluted from the
Flowed lands Of the neighborng hills
it is especially important that our sup
ply of drinking water should DO filtered,
and We commend the suggestion OF the
Philadelphia correspondent to the long
suffering Richmond public" It is to be
hoped, however, that before very long
our settling basin will have settled our
water problem.

Municipal Ownership,

It has been already announced In our
news columns that Chicago voters went
on record Monday in favor of ultimate
municipal owtArship.:of the street rail-
ways of that city. The vote was taken
under what was known as the Mueller
Z law, enacted by the last State Leglsln-
} ture, which authorizes cities in Illinois to
I, construct. own, operate and lease rail-
I: ways and to provide the means therefor
Tie first question was on the adoption
sof the Mueller law. and the voters also
1 balloted on the question, shall tho Coun-
!, Gil, upon the adoption OF the Mueller
\ law, proceed to acquire ownership ct tho
3 street railways under the powers con-
ferred by the Mueller law. and shall tho
I Council, instead of granting franchises
license the street railway companies until
] municipal ownership can be secured, md
I compel them to give a satisfactory SER
vice?
The adoption of these propositions
/ means little because 1t is impossible for
i the city to acquire the street railways
] until Its debt-ncraas!ng privileges are
enIurged by the Legislature. 1t Will re-
4 au.re large sum of money to purchase
the lines. and 1t is not at all sure that
i the purchase will be made. even If the
civ is finally authorized to raise tho
necessary money. But Mayor Harrison
points out that tho result of tho vote
shows how strong Is the popular feeling
In behalf of municipal ownership. The
people Of the city have not been at all
satisfied with the operation of the street
chr lines by private corporations and en-
pressed their dissatisfaction in Monday 8
election. 1t is a doubtful PROPOSITION.
however, whether or not there would be
any great improvement under municipal
operation of the roads, and 1t Isl very
certain that such scheme would intro
duce a very dangerous factor In the
municipal government of the city.
However, there is no serious objection,
in principle to municipal ownership OF
street railways and other such public
Utilities, for q municipal corporation is
after all, in great degree a business cor
poration. But there Is serious phjec-
ton to the operation of such utilities By
the municipality, for the reason that II
gives to the municipal government a
large patronage and throws additional
temptation In this way of those who
manage the city's affairs. Where poll
4 tics govern It Is always impossible tc
conduct business affairs upon business
principles. II Chicago finally decide e
