GladstOne's administration. especially in the
time of the last Afghan wrangle with Russia
may have given color, though neither was tho
BeacOnsfield LyttOn entirely free from

that the circumstances of Lord Curzon's resip
nation indicated delicate if not a perilous
state of affairs in India, and there were those
who freely predicted that the placing of a re-.
puted antimperialist and avOwed Home Ruler
like Mr.. John Morley in the India Office would
mean a disastrous reversal OF policy which
might even imperil the security of British rule
in India.

abandoned. If they had not been before, Mr.

End of Carnival LeaUes Hundreds
Wandering about TOzon.
~ releeraph 10 sc Tribune. J

NeUDort r. l. Aug. 10--The carnival at New
port was practically brought to an end last nlsht
with the carnival parade, and all that remains lot
the peOpIe to do is to roam about the town and
eniov the sights. There are to be no more affairs
on shore and the Olly contest yet to come is the
motor boat race which will take place tomorrow,
but as these boats need plenty of water in which
to manceuvre the course will be out in the bay,
where 1t will be impossible for the people TO see
II from shore From a yachting point Of view. the
race tomorrow will be interesting. The committee
heard from Mr.. Herreshoff this morning that he
would send two boats do tomorrow to enter the
race and f. is likely that boat will come trOIn
Providence and one or two from FAN River.
This morning the Providence boat brought the
usual crowd. but there nothing for them TO
tons and weud their way to the show grounds
do business until tomorrow night, The crowd in
the city last night was the largest that has
been seen in Newport. and the last boat and train
saw many who had been left behind 1t was i'm
possible for these people to obtain accommodation
for the night. and they had to either walk the
or sleep the benches in the parks Late
yesterday afternoon It almost impossible to
get anything to eat in the city, and fast the
restaurant keepers would replensh their supply it
would disappear. The carnival has in this way en-
rched storekee0ers to large extent, and the car
nival can be termed success from every point of
view

night when a the Fail River Snatched

and informed world outside the British Empire
the blessings of British control of India have
seemed so assured and the political, social
and Industrial disturbances Of half the world
would be so vast and probably SO disastrous If
that control were removed, that it would be
impossible to regard without apprehension and
deprecatiOn any considerable change in the con-
stitution of that empire. India will remain
India, but it must also remain British. That.
in the most positive and arbitrary sense, is,
said Mr. Morley. no reason for not making in
India 1.-THE great experiment of showing that
''yOu can have a strong and effective administra-
''tiOn along with free speech and free institu-
''tions" On the contrary, it is the best of
reasons for pursuing that policy, since strong
and effective administration and, cOncurrently
with it. free speech and free institutions are
characteristics Of British rule the world over.

TYPHOID IN CITY WATER ?

Just what Interpretation does Health Commits
siOner Darlington wish to have placed upon his
remarks concerning the increase in typhoid?
While pointing ont that typhoid is an autumnal
disease. that its present extent is about what
was to be expected, and that there is no fear
of an epidemic, he also says: There is no
doubt that impure water has much to do with
''the prevalence of typhoid in the hot season.
Therefore, l recommend that all drinking
water should he first boiled. Until we have a
system of filtration here it is dangerous to
drink water as it comes from the faucets.
Now, either the water furnished by the city,
supposedly under continual inspection by bac-
teriOlOgsts to detect the first signs of dangerous
germs, is reasonably safe, CT there is need Of
something more than mild warning Of this
kind in newspaper interview which will reach
comparatively few of the 100000 inhabitants
of this city. II the water is dangerous, much
more effectuaI measures should at once be
taken. Such a statement as that of DR.. Oar
lingtOn will receive 10 attention from the great
body of hOusehOlders Even if those who have
control over their own domestic arrangements
needed the warning it would not be adequate
Thousands of persons in this city are at the
mercy of the sanitary precautions of Others
They live in boarding houses they take lunch
cons, at least. in restaurants; they visit soda
fountains where glasses are washed in the
NdltL IiblH llle HldIHS anu are always Wet
enough to carry any germs in that water
to the customer. The hotelkeeper and the
druggist are not going to pay any attention to
casual remarks about danger in the water. If
there is any real danger, the only proper safe
guard is the issue of strict orders against the
use of unbOiled water, either for drinking or for
the washing of table utensils and Of food to he
eaten uncOOked. That is the only safe way of
dealing with polluted water. The lesson of
Ithaca and other towns which adopted halfway
measures at the early stages of doubt about
their water is impressive
Perhaps DIR. Darlington merely means to sug-
gest boiling to those who wish to make their
own minds easy by extra precautions. Doubt
less there is always the possibility that typhoid
germs may, by some miShap carelessness, be
carried into any water supply not thoroughly
filtered, in spite of systematic inspection. The
psychologists, however, should almost instantly
detect their presence, and such detection should
be followed by the most thorough campaign
If anybody needs to boil water. everybody does
Has DE. Darlington discovered any typhoid in
CrotOn or Ridgewood water, or in any of the
minor supplies of suburban districts? Has he
any reason to believe that the present eases Of
typhoid come from the public water supply, or
are the germs picked up country excursions?
If there is any reasonable suspicion of the
water. the whole community should be eniOined
to take precautions.

uR. G4RFIELD JUSTIFIED.

The action of 1he United States grand jury
yesterday nj jamestown in bringing ndict-
ments against the Standard Oil COMPANY the
Vacuum Oil Company. subsidiary corpora
uOn and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is in measure at least justification OF the
Garfield report. 1t viii be remembered that
when the Commissioner of Corporations pub
lished The results of bis inquiry into Standard
oil methods he was denounced as sensa ton
alist and an ignOramus who. without knowledge
OF the law or an appreciation of the true char
acter Of business transactions. had dug up
mares nests and criticised as discriminatory
rates which We're perfectly proper and la wfuI.
One Of his specific charges was that oil was
shipped from Olean, y. Y. 10 New EnglanN by
way Of Rochester in violation of the law
Leading officials Of the Standard Oil Company
declared that this charge was based Oh a reck-
less misinterpreation of the law and the Penn
syNania Railroad. the lessee Of the Western
Aew York X Pennsylvania Railroad which
carried the traffic from Olean TO Rochester, de-
MED. we believe, that il Disseminated The
public was left much in doubt and many per-
sons were apparently inclined To think that
MF. Garfield had, in the phrase OF the street
bitten off more than he could chew One NJ
The indictments found at jamestown Yesterday

ing Inc shipment of its product from Olean 10
Rutland, Vt, at lower rate than that puh-
Ished IN the regular schedule Of the Pennsvl
Van.a Railroad Company on file with the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
II IS 70 be remembered that an Indictment is
not conviction 1t cannot fairly be assumed
and we have no wish 10 assume, that the oil men
are guilty. They may be able TO show that the
transaction IN question was perfectly lawful
and tie pubic SHOULD await their defence with
an open mind. IT is scarcely 10 be slIppOsed
however. that a Tinted States District Attorney
would take Up the transaction unless he had
good reason 10 believe le could show Il 10 be
unlawful. or that grand jury would have
found the Indictment unless IL believed that
he had made out prima facie case. Appar-
entity, therefore Mr.. Garfield was not so reck-
less as he was said 10 be. ana the correctness
of the Standard Oils business methods was
not SO plain 70 ali sane men as its attorneys
would have preferred the public to believe. Mr.
earned may have been mistaken. The District
