WATER is BETTER:

DR.. Levy Attributes Improved Con,

System.

Improvement OF the city's water
works system is largely responsible
for the fact that during the present
month of February only four cases OF
typhoid have been reported.
This opinion was expressed Satnr-
day by DIR. Z. c. Levy. chief city
health officer, who pointed out that
there were twenty-five cases of ty-
phoid in Richmond last year during the
month of February.
DIR. Levy believes the new settling
basin put into operation in December
in connection with improvement of
the watef works system will be a great
adjunct In the promotion OF good
health conditions In Richmond.
DR.. Levy Ii also pleased at the fine

seases are now at low water mark in

To-day's debate was launched by
the socialists. who demanded to know
why the chancellor in a debate In
the Prussian diet, denounced man
hood suffrage as an evil.
The socialists declare the chaneel-
ior's attack on manhood suffrage to
be an attack upon the constitution.
When Franck began his address he
began applying the same epithets to
the Kaiser that the Chancellor re-
Gently applied to those lighting for
manhood suffrage.
When the German empire was
founded" said Franok. "tne Emperor
and the Reichstag were simultaneous
creations. both integral parts Of the
constitution and both entitled to the
same thing regarding the Kaiser and
his speeches. The Kaiser Is the Gre
alton of the same law that brought
the Reichstag into being. and to at
tack the principles that underlie the
latter Is to attack the former"
F'ranck pointed out what he term
ed the blessing of popular franchise
as applicable in America, and declar-
ed manhood suffrage must eventually
come throughout the whole OF the
German empire.
Chancellor Replies.
AS Franck finished pandemonium
broke forth, and II was several min
utes before the chairman could re-
store order. Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg replied to Franck. AS
he arose he was cheered by the con-
servatives. but the socialists treated
him with the same disrespect that the
conservatives had shown to Franck.
The Chancellor commended that the
characterization of the franchise
widened the government OF the coun-.
try. but degraded the tone of public
life"
The socialists met this with cries OF
Shame That's an insult to all
countries where the people vote"
That's an onslaught on the Ger
man empires constitution"
-Hoifweg patiently await
ed a subsistence of the disorders and
then continued:
II have never expressed any inten-
ton OF aboiishing manhood suffrage
for the Reichstag refuse to dis
cuss the Prussian franchise in the
Reichstag. as that is not a federal, but
n state question. Hence Ii is Prussia 8
own business. Neither the federal
legislature nor the Reichstag has any
right to / interfere in Prussia's own
affairs
Anticipates Revolution.
Others VINO spoke against the gov
ernment's policy were Herr Goreber.
for the Roman Catholics and center
marty; Herr Bassermann, for the ma
tional liberals: Herr Wiener. for the
radicals, and Herr Ledebour. another
socialist leader. They all warned the
government of the dangerous conse-
quences of reactionary policy. and
declared that Prussia. being the
largest state in the empire. her affairs
were likewise imperial affairs.
Ledebour prophesied that few
more years OF the present retrograde
movement would see enacted In Ger
many the same outbreaks that for
years have blackened Russia.

council were present; and of those only
two voted in the affirmative, while four
voted in negative.
Upon this vote being taken, motion
was made to simply publish ordinances
70 and 70, and this motion was also
defeated by the same vote.
The roll call appears in the official
proceedings.
This matter was brought up with a
view of officially publishing these ordi-
nances and of fixing the responsibility
for their enforcement or nonenforce-
ment.
Certainly the laws of the city ought
to be put in force, or else be amended
or repealed. In this case, the Democrat
believes that the law ought to be carried
out, and not be allowed to become a
dead letter on the ordinance book.
