MONDAY HTKHINO, OCT., 20, 1Q04, l'MUdclplila'fl Filltiy Water. Life can have but few Joya te the "Phll adelphian who Is at all particular about the water be drinks. The sickening atery of the pollution of the Schuylkill water by the many factories which line 1U banks from abore Manayunk te the point where it enters West Philadelphia, has been ventilated with all its nauseous details in the city press ; and if only half et It is true, there is the most crying Heed for reform. The Philadelphia Press en Sunday holds up another calcium light en the foul city water by showing that the Kensington pumping station at the feet of Otis street, which furnishes water te about 125,000 people in Ken sington and Richmond, deals with water that is worse for drinking purposes than that of the Schuylkill. The sewage of COO,. 000 inhabitants empties into the Delaware directly, and the movement of the flew and ebb tides carries the water weighted with sewage twice a day up and down past the sucking pipe at the Kensington pumping station. Filth of the worst kind is seen with the naked eye flowing op and down past the pumping station, and it is net hard for the fancy te picture the death dealing slime that lies concealed under the water's surface. The state of affairs has become se alarming that Chief Engineer Ludlow, of the water department, hasdetermined te abandon the Kensington station before the end of the present month. This, however, is very peer compensa tion for the multitudes who during the next few weeks will be compelled te drink the foul water with full knowledge of its impurities. They can no longer solace themselves with the adage "where Ignorance is bliss, 'tis felly te be wise,' but must drink the nauseous, disease breeding liquid with their eyes open. A city that cannot supply its denizens with geed drinking water is admittedly a failure. Ne one expects the reservoirs of a large city te be fed from limpid mountain streams ; but the amount of impurity that the sources of the reser veire' supplies contain should be such that the attrition of the molecules of water one with the ether and against the bed of the stream would neutalize it, at least te the extent of making it Qi for drinking. As the city population in creases and its importance as a manu facturing centre becomes greater, the evils enumerated above must grew mere alarming. In the end itmaybeneces sary te build an aqueduct far up the Delaware at the "Water Gap, as has been suggested, away from all sources of con taminatien. The taxpayers will feet the bills cheerfully if they believe it is the only way out of the difficulty, and the publication of the present nauseous con ditien of the city drinking water will de much te hasten that consummation. In reply te some criticism of the In tei liqekceii a few days since en the futility of the methods used te prevent the presentation of the play " Peck's Bad Bey" in the borough of West Ches ter, the chief burgess of that municipal ity sends a communication, printed else where, explaining the failure of the undertaking. In his case the spirit was willlnsr, but the law was weak. The borough fathers in enacting an ordinance prohibiting the presentation of a play net having "a decent and moral tend ency," left a hole as large as a barn deer In its enforcement when they permitted an exemption for the offender by the payment of a une of twenty dol lars. But executive officers are net responsible for the blunders of the city Selens, and perhaps it was net the bounden duty of the chief burges3 te drive out the intruders it ct amis. The West Chester v.IUage llccenl thinks dif ferently, however, declaring of the second burgess that " Had he gene te Maple avenue at the head of the two day and four night policemen and sternly barred the way te the showmen they could net have entered town, for Liter en the show disclosed the fact that the goat was of no account as a butter." Judge ilalc's Verdict. The Republicans who honored Matthew Hale with a nomination last year te the supreme bench can hardly discredit his character te day or regard with indiffer. ence the conclusions he reaches as te Blaine's venality. Mr. Hale being a geed enough lawyer in their estimation te be a supreme judge, certainly would be a geed enough judge of evidence te make hla opinion of the guilt of Mr. Blaine one te deserve the consideration of Rep ublican voters ; and the manner in which he presents the case against Blaine affords lurther strong evidence that he is a master et the profession he practi ces. Nothing would be better than the force of his letter or stronger than his marshaling of the case against Mr, Blaine. Te be sure, he presents but his own conclusion upon the several charges, but they are enumerated seperutely, and the verdict given upon each is that of an authority whose competency te weigh and decide the questions is net te be challenged by the R epubllcans who se lately endorsed his ability as a lawyer and a judge. The Mulligan Thorns. The Mulligan lettera are a horrible thorn in Mr. Blaine's political flesh. They are all the time turning around afresh te prick him in a new place. To day we bavb mere letters of Blaine te Fisher, showing hew nnxieus he was te meet him, pending the congresslenalinqulry into the Mul ligan matter, though Blaine then was said te be 111 at his Augusta home and needing quiet above all tilings te restore his nervous tone. That quiet he get by being translated into the Senate; a transfer which was made clearly because thereby he would ba taken from the Jurisdiction of the investigating Heuse. IIe went up Inte the Senate chamber nnd the Heuse ceased the inquiry into his guilt ; and it will V noted that Blaine never insisted upon vlhe continuance of the Investigation and in acquittal of the charge. This fact ulcu condemns him, SilKiurr Ilian and Jake Ilellinger, armed with the law and nxes, started this morning te make their annual tour alone the Susquehanna river te destroy the fish baskets of the " pirates." .Last year Hemager manageu ie wem. ier forty-eight days in a slngle month, chop ping fish baskets te pieces, and new they are mere numerous man ever, auu no will probably be compelled te work forty-eight hours a day te demolish them . A rnicsn instalment of letters from the tattoed knight te " Dear Fisher" are published. We wait breathlessly te see them reproduced in the Examintr and re,ln accordance with Mr. Blaine's publicly expressed wish. BuTLr.u went up like a rocket ; he has descended like a very small stick. Tun tariff is net in daugcr, but Mr Mr Blalue is at the present writing in a very procarieuB condition. The mask has been polled from Butler's face, and he stands expesed as a Republi can ss in the Laber lien's skin. The workingnien will spurn Butler's base treachery, in attempting te lead them into the camp of the enemy, by voting for Cleveland. Dees anyone hear Mr. Biaine speak of the thousands stolen by the Star Reute gang ? IIe dare net ; thore Is honor even among thieves.

Dni'GOiSTS used te legitimately make in their business a profit of fifty per cent, but new they regard tkcmselves as fertu nate in realizing twenty-five per cent en their investments.

Hew feed supplies will be ob taiued for this immense population, and what the changes will be in the form of government under which we live opens up interesting questions. Anether Ropubliean of national prom- inonce has abandoned the Republican oindidate and come ever te Cleveland. The latest convert is no less a personage than Hen, Matthew Hale, of Albany, who was the Republican oandidate ferjudge of the Buprome court last year and who was a working Republican in 1330 and had veted for every Republican presi dential oandidate since. It would seem as though the Republican party will go with a great deal of undignified haste. The argurasut that beoause Cleveland charged for 803 days of Eorvice aa sheriff of Erioeounty, New Yerk, that be was paid illegal fees is recognized as absurd by all newspapers except the hopelessly blind organs of the Hew Era class. Cleveland was sheriff in 1971, 1872 and 1873, and by the fee system in the state of New Yerk, the Bherifl was legitimately entitled te charge foe3 for attondanes en two or tbree courts in a single day.

Frem the New Yerk Times The Butler movement lu Baltimore has goue te smash, owing te posithe informa tion having oemo te the knowledgo of the head et the organization there that Butler s noting under orders of the Ropubliean National Committee and has his oxpensos paid by the Republicans, who also control his movements. A few days age Geu. W. 11. Parsons, who Is chairman of the Na. tienal Committeo for Maryland, went te New Yerk te get Butler te ceme thore and speak. He was roferrcd by the Butler managers in New Yerk te the Republican committee He went te the committee, aud was told that the Rcpubheans could net afford te send Butler te Maryland, as it waa net a doubtful State and that they had no money te spend in ezperiments. What Den. Parsons learned in New Yerk be tells in a letter about te ba pub hshed, In tha course of which he says : ''Step by step, after persistent effort aud waiting ou the movements and decis ions of Gen. Butler and his po litical managers and careful ebser vatien of the movements and doels 8ieu of Mr. Biaine and his political man agcrs, we are forced te announeo, with all the lespensibillty of our official obligation te ikose whom we represent, that we have most unexpectedly un earthed the deepest political iutngue in the history of presidential campaigns, and that Qen. Butler is using us and our par ties, and thesi who sympathiza with the principles he assumes te champion upon labor and finance, solely for the purpese of defeating Mr. Cleveland in New Yerk by drawing te himself a sufficient unraber of vetcrb, heroteforo Democratic, te ee care its 30 electoral votes for Mr. Blaine. Knewing that the members of tha National Greenback - Laber and Auti Monopoly parties, and theso of all labor organizations iu sympathy with their purposes te reliove the toiling masses, which have ahead polled a congressional vete of oer 1,500,000, are profoundly indifferent te the fate and fortune of cither of the monepolistio candidates we oppose, we view with surprise, indignation, and alarm Gen. Butler's self evident purpese te prometo the election of a party through whose legislation, as he affirms in his ad dress, labjring men ara out of employ ment and starving after a quarter of a century of Republican rule. The smews of war used by Gen. Butler's political managers are furnished entirely by the National Republican committeo, who thereby control Gen. Butler's mevements and confine him te the states they dictate This is claimed by them." Geerge Stewart, the head of the Butler movement in Baltimore, made the following statement te-night : " I am very sorry te say that the bottom has fallen eat of the labor movement. Gen. Parsons has taken considerable interest iu the movement. He is a Knight of Laber and bailed Butler's nomination with joy, especially as he had been a member of the convention when Butler voted se many times for Jeffersen Davis, Gen. Parsons went te New Yerk te secure Butler's attondance at a labor meeting te ba held in Baltimere. He called en Colonel Neah A. Plyrapten and Mr. Fowler, Butler's lieu, tenants. The latter said that Plympton was in Indianapolis, but it transpired afterward that he was in Worcester, Mass. When charged with the falsehood by a friend Fowler became very indignant. Gen. Parsons then waited in New Yerk for two weeks in order te see Butler him self. The latter said he was in the hands of Fowler and Plympton. As Gen. Parsons waa about te leave he was told that the Republican National committee desired te see him. Calling upon them, he was told that their committeo controlled the mevements of Gen. Butler aud had a right te say where he should speak, inasmuch as they paid hU expenses. They thought it posBible that they might permit Butler te speak in Bal Bal Bal tieoeo after the Ohie eleotieu. Gen. Parsons, becoming disgusted, breke off all negotiations. He is con vinced that Butler is net running in the interests of the laboring men, but has sold out te Biaine in order te avonge him self upon Cleveland. The Republicans propeso te keep him cntirely In New Yerk, New Jersey, and such Northern BtatCB aa are naturally Domecratia or doubtful, in erder te draw votes from Cloveland. They also have no intoutlen of endeavoring te break the solid Seuth. In fact, they pro pre fer te keep ihe Seuth solid, as they deem that the host way te held the North within the Republican ranks ia te areuse and in tensify sectional feeling," The Butler party in Maryland was te put au electoral ticket iu the field next Wednesday night. The meeting will net new be held. JJUTLEll'S DENIAL. Butler telegraphed from Batavia, N. Y., Sunday night te Sonater Grady a denial of the statement of W. U. Parsons that he (Parsons) had applied te have Butler speak iu aid of the people's party in Mary land, aud had beeu referred by Colonel Plympteh te the Republican National committee Geueral Butler says that Parsons ia a fraud, and that he warned Plympton against him. JAMES IlKDI'ATII OK 11LAIKE. Janiea lledpath, an old time Hi publican and a dovetod friend of the Irish cause, has come out squarely against Blaine. His speech Saturday evening atChickerlng hall in whieh he corroborated the story told by Daniel MoSwceney Friday night, and re futed seme of the declarations of Mr. Alexander Sullivan. He mercilessly ox ex pased the humbug proteuslecs of Mr. Blalue te auy recognition as an oflielai with the faintest conception of the obligations and privileges of Ameri. can citizenship. He recalled te the minds of Irishmen tLe fact that every Land League club in the country has already doneuncod Biaine and Lewell for their treatment of McSweouey. Ne trial, fair or unfair, immediate or remote, was ever demanded for McSweeney by James G. Biaine when he was secretary of state of the United States. It is a long way from here te Ireland, and it was irapossible at that time for Mr. Blaine te hear the sighs of American citizens in Irish jails. Why ? There was no elrotieu pending. His ears were filled with guano. If I believed that we ought te vete either for the Democratie or the ltenubliean candidates, nnd If I ' permitted my vete te be Influenced by the action of our governmont, in (he case of oltizena unfairly dealt with by foreign governments, then I want te pay, here, and new, without rcsone or equivocation, that I should cast my ote for Urover Cloveland aud net ler the raau who turned a deaf ear te the cries of our iru iru prisened citlzeus James U.

The Democrats of Wheeling, assisted by dolcgatlena from all the adjacent Ohie towns, held a graud j itilleatien Saturday night te celobmte the victory in West Vir ginia and espceially in Ohie county. An immenee torehllght demonstration was the feature of the oelobration. The associated press is aiding the Rrpuellcan papers te dlg8omlnate n piece of misinformation, uamely, that the m.ij lntv for Wilsen is n falling off from that of InW. Te de this, they use the 10,000 plurality of Jacksen instead of his majority of .1, 100 On their basis Wilsen's majority would approxi mate 21,000. The heaty galus in this state cannot be discounted iu that way. They are shown mere particularly in the First congressional district, where Wilsen has a clear majority of 0,100. Iu 1-3.2 Oeu. Guff, Republican, carried this dis trict by 1,840, aud is a camlidute for re electien. The Fourth district, alie held in doubt, and which showed a fusion ma jority of 1.SG0 in 1.1, new shows a Democratie majority of 1,500, i isnrtug Gibsen's ro-eleotiou and makinc the West Virginia congressional delegation solid. It Is for these thiugs that te tiiRht's ro re ro jeioing was held and beoause Biaine told the West Virginians hat his election is in their bauds.

Ie the Editor vthe Lnncruter InlelUtneer , An article in a late issue of your paper, intimates that I lied the borough en the day en which the entertainment of " Peck's Bad Bey " was te take place here. Net expecting any difficulty beiore the ovening of that day, I attended, as I always de, the meeting of our medical society WJich took place en that day at the Lafayette hotel, in the city of Phila delphia, and returned at 5:10 p.m., iu time for all necessary action en the case. It is true that they gave their exhibiticn after I refused them license, but iLj ordi erdi ordi nance regulating such was imperfect aud rendered me powerless except te impose a penalty of $20 and there my authority ended. Yeu judge me wroegly in intimat ing that I left home te avoid or shirk responsibility. Ne ene who knows me would accuse me of auything of that kind in the discharge of my official duties, as I hae always observed the motto te "huw te the line let the chips fall where they may." In order te show that you de me injustice I copy the ordinance which reads as fellows viz : "That no person or per por per sens shall be permitted te perform or exhibit any play, show, spectacle, theatri cal entertainment, ornamental or artificial curiosity, where raoney may be demanded for admission, within tbg limits of the borough of West Chester, unless the same be of a decent and moral tendency ; and unless be, she or they first obtain a hconse from the chief burgess , nnd if any person or persons shall perform or exhibit any play &a., where money may be demanded fur admission without first obtaining a license as afore- slid, he, sha or they se efleuding en con cen con vietion thereof, shall pay a fine of twenty dollars for each offense." Yeu will thus see that my authority was at an end, by the imposition of a line of twenty dollars. In my judgment it is but a peer compensation te the borough or punishment te thorn for the disgrace in flicted upon our people. Had the ordinaueo warranted it, it would have been suppressed at all hazards. Uespeetiuily, J. B. Weed, Chief Burgus West Chester, Pa., Oct 17.

I lme remembered his catering te t1 e inihtien craze aud the silver hereby ; te the anti Chinco prejudice, te almost tvery unsound dectrine iu evere quarter, which scorned likely te cemraaud votes. I hae read hia speech excusing himself ter dedgiug the ote en prohibition in his own. state.

The letter was greoted with frequent outbursts of applause, Gov. Cloveland's name being cheered every time it was mentioned. Mr. Schurz was received with a hearty outburst of applause.
