What Mr, McCrary Will Do.
The appointment of Mr. McCrary, of
Keokuk.Iowa.as secretary of war is believed
to be not a bad thing for western interests,
and tho Union makes its points thusly:
' 1 he war department ha much power for good or
evil over certain interests that centre hero bat are
of national Importance All estimates for
future expenditures have to receive his sanctlou
and be recommended by him to congress as the
baxls of appropriations. Secretary Belknap mani
fested very little Interest In Rock Island arsenal
IJen. Benet evinced a disposition to pro
crastinate work at this arsenal in order to begin an
arsenal somewhere In the east. Mr. McCrary may
be counted on to promote its interests to the utmost
now that he Is secretary of wr. Like good offices
mty be expeeted of him in the Improvement of the
MlnHlnr-iimi river. A better aud more active
friend could not Lave been selected, He may
be relied upon to advance these interests in every
legitimate manner.
We hope Mr. McCrary may turn out
better for our interests than Belknap, whose
greatest achievment here was to make
everything on the Island point to Daven
port. An Illinois secretary of war would
have been more satisfactory.

"Water free from contamination is the Indefeae-

avoidable pollution of water nsed for potable or

Aecizte.
That the disease so prevalent in our city
during December, January, and a part of
February was the result of sewage pump
ed by our water works I have no doubt,
and my views are sustained by a very large
majority of the profession in this neigh
borhood. 1 am also sustained by clinical
observations and experience as well as by
microscopic and chemical testa. The
cmora says inhalation or cblonn is
followed by dangerous disease of the air
passages like diphtheria." This we must
look upon as a new discovery in the history
of disease and about equal to the discovery
that bacteria are ot vegetable origin.

presence in the water is beyond a doubt.
How much organic matter is required to
be present in water to produce disease no

New Coaches on the St. Leais, Rock
Island & Chicag-o Railroad.
Some days aeo an item appeared in this
paper stutint: that the managers of tbe
St. Louis, Hock Island & Chicago road
intended to send the old passenger coaches
to the C. 15. & Q. railroad shops at Aurora,
wherj they would be entirely rebuilt,
handsomely furnished and painted and
striped in colors to conform to those on
the C. B. & Q. road.
The first train with the new coaches left
this city this morning in charge of Con
ductor Patton and Engineer Fosburgh, and
consisted of engine No. 13 the V. C
Brewster a baggage and mail car (No.
165) and two coaches Nos. 155 acd 100,
The outside of the cars are painted
an orange tint, striped with red, green and
lead colors, while the roofs are a sky blue.
The cars are all lettered "Chicago, Bur.

The inside of the ladies' car No. 100 is
finished in a handsome manner with bird's
eye maple, black walnut,and white oak, and
handsomely trimmed with light and dark-
colored v.'osd. The ceiling is handsomely
frescoed and trimmed with gilt. In the
genta. cisr No. 155 tbe finishing is all
white oak, with suitable trimmings, while
the ceil'me is about the same as in the
ladies' ct r. The seats are covered with
red plush velvet, with borders in green of
the sam o material. No coal is burned,
each car being furnished with two wood

water, w ater closets, bibles, and a sledge,
axe, saw, and other articles to be Ubed in
case of an accident
lne baggage, mail and express car is
divided into three rooms fitted up with
every convenience for the business for
which they are used.
The cars are provided with Miller's
putetit couplers and bumpers, and with
the Wentinghouse improved air brake, by
which the train, going at tbe rate of 35
miles au hour, can be stopped in its own
length.
Tho whole traiu is first-class in every

water make it most noxious to the health of those
who use it as a drink, producing diarrhcea and
fever." Prof. Humrnond.
Chlorides were found by Dr. rarquhar-
son in water taken lrom the hydrant at
20th stret and 9th avenue, also in water
taken from the river at the mouth of 19th
street sewer. v here did these chlorides
come from? What caused their presence
in the water taken from those places?
There is but one answer to these questions,
and that is, sewage was present. Dr. Ked
zie says "the presence of chlorides in any
sensible amount in water shoula lead us to
reject it, because it would indicate sewage
contamination."
Chlorides do not belong to wholesome
water, and their presence affords good
grounds for suspecting sewage impurities.
"The decision of the late medical meeting, or"
ganized to convict." Union.
The grounds on which the Medical As
sociation based its conclusions, I may state
as lollows: 1. The undeniable fact that
the diarrhoea prevailed. 2. The clinical
facts showing the large majority of those
attacked to have been persons daily usiut
hydrant water. 3. The positive evidence
that .organic matter was preseut in the
water and that organic matter will pro
duce that kind ot disease. 4, Chemical
tests showed the presence of organic mat
ter in tne water o. me microscope
showed positively and beyond a doubt the
presence of amorphous, organic, moleolu
lar matters, and globular matter in the
orui of infusoria; and, 6. Because there
was no evidence offered or attempt made
to disprove these grounds for the preva-
ence of the disease.
We know there ia such a thing as or
ganic matter; we Know it is lound in sew
age; we know, when combiaed with water,
it, will produce disease, but what its es
sence is, or now mucn is requirea to pro
duce its toxic enects we cannot tell yet,
its disease-producing quality is there and
is well understood by its effects. Diseases
resulting from special poisons are often car
ried into the system, says G. M. Latham,
M. D., in the London Lancet, "by the
alimentary canal either in the food, or
most generally, in the water.

in water and yet be entitely inappreciable
to the senses ot man no matter now well
aided by such instruments as the micros
cope and also the most delicate chemica
tents, and he ad vines as to the importance
ot Keeping litem out ot tne water, saying
they only enter water in sewage, and
that they are destructive agents, and,
when every means have been resorted to
to prevent their entering it, he reccom-
mends, as further security, that tbe water
be filtered before it is used for drinking.
With most of this evidence before them
the committee, in their report, say "The
water works of a city should always be
placed where there is the least possibility
of its contamination from sewage, and
that "the time may come when our works
will have to be removed." llomoved for
what? If not now.when we have such pos
itive evidence of the badness of their loca
tion, when will the time come for their re
moval? Let me answer. It will be when
or after suffering und death from cholera
have visited us. The committee who can
report that they "can see no cause for
anxiety concerning the purity of the
water," are hopelessly near-sighted.
Take all the evidence they have brought
forward to sustain them in making such
a report and' subject the entire batch to
the most delicate chemical tests and
what do you find?. Answer (0)

At French's in New York, Among
those long standing, ever popular and
never degenerating landmarks of com
mercial convenience in the city of New
York, none is more striking than French's
Hotel, which founded on the European
plan as far back as 1849, has kept up its
undeyiating popularity until the present
day, and the phrase "Meet me at
French's,", is almost as well-known as
"How do you do?" or "Good day." For
twenty years it was run by Col. French
its founder, and is now in the hands of
his son, Mr. JT. J. French, admirably
conducting this traveler's commonwealth,
ably asisted by John McAlister. Central
ly uituated, opposite to the new post office
it strongly recommends itself by position,
while its accommodations are not excelled
by any hotel in the city. Six stories in
height, reached by an elevator its bed
rooms are elean, lofty and admirably ven
tilated, with rnnoing water in every room,
while its cuisene is under the charge ot a
master iu the art, and the whole manage
ment is based upon giving to the truest
every comfort and convenience money can
supply. Visitors from the West will find
no more pleasant, convenient or economical
stopping place than French's Hotel.
