Tlie OaUJ othet- kuiffa iiamed and passed by the Pem ocrats during the whole history of that party were the Inrizonral reveiiiie tariffs of iidO and 1S57, and neither at that time nor sinco has any poreun cver pretonded that thoso were anything but a cowardly evasion of the con victions the party professod. Nor were the tariiTs onacted by friends of ProteotiOfl in yeats before tho War at all cumpaiablo the Act of 1890 iu bieadth, fidolity to prifl ciplos, couiage or true statosinanship. Tho leader who waa not.

In the deaperate strugu'lo of 1875 that Stato turned the feuk against flBaadaJ folly and dishoncsty, and Major McKinley is oontident it will do the same in the contests of 1891, ossentially tho samo issue being presented. His argument is that the Repttblioan party has already erectod a mighty bulwark for tho protection silver: has preserved and enlargod its monetary oaea a safc and has provided that the silv-r dollar shall be kept aa good as the best dollar of our currency."

Mr. McKinley believes an international agree mcnt on coinage tho only true remedy, but that it is prevented by the belief of Europe that this country will eventually go to a silver baak. "If Europe boiieved otherwise she would not be slow to give consent." He then quotes tho letter of Pre.sident Cleveland, and with especlal foroe Ifl Ohio, the declaration of CoRffioainiaR Harter, a distinguishod Dcmocrat, who said: "The adoption of this wild idea will not bring into the JDemocratic power a solitaiy State in the Union. lt will be politieal suicide. and we might as well make an assignmont of the party aad have a receiver appointed." Finally, Maior McKinley showed that free coinage would robbery of pesaioitera, whoae claims against aro not kaa than those men who loanH it nioney in its time of aeed When repiidiation BOOght to bondhold eis, the BoMiera atood rirm for the pnblk honor.

Is it right to force upnn him a dollar worth 80 cents when other croditoia of the QoYonuBOnt were paid a dollar worth ioo cents Major McKinley's fHaonBBJOB of the ekriff qoee tion is exhaustive and ooRviRCiBg, and deeerrea the r.n'efiil attention of candid citizens in eveiy Stato.

POLLUTJON OF JflE CEOTOh. The of the Health Hoard have been making a miiiute oxainination of the ektjt bianch gf the OfOtOR Kiver. which funtislies BbOUt 008 thiid of this city's water si'pply. Their repoit will ba made next week, bu; a Mimmary of their diaeoreriea, prepared by a trustworthy reporter qf "The Evenlni sim." has beaa ptib lished. lt is highly inteiostiiig but extr'inoly flisagteeaMt! reading.

Tho investigatois havo douo their vork thoroughly, and their of the rebnlk will be graphic and acciirato. They iinmd, bnef. that the eaai branch of tho CfOtOB Kiver, direclly and throiigh Ik foedors, is continuously contaniinared, by inad rortenco and dHitx-i-aHy, with numonms va rieties of iilth, of them dangerous and all of them disgusting; that the extent of this pol lution is already great and that it is lticiras ing; that the laws bearing on the subject are constantly violated consciotisly and with per fect impimity that one of tho tributancs actually confessedly a public BBWarj that tho qu'ality of the water as it is ggaUvered ifl this ciiv i's (Heiiorating. and that the aolutioa of the prohlem of rectifying these abuses and safeguaiding the wator supply in tho fotfllt will ditlicult and costly. The Bitoatba thoa diaeloaed is menacing and lamontable.

No arguiiK-nt is Beoded to prove that tho protection of the water supply against coutamination is among the lirst and niost bifld ing (lutics of the municipal authoriti-s. Tho charaiter of the CrotOO has hitherto been one of the chief advantages of Now-Vork as a place of rosideiue. Its suporlative value is not COBV monly appreciatod, simply bocause this geneia imn baa had no eontiary exporience. Tho has been so oonstant and so cheap that its inagnitiido fails to impreas the mind, except when, as now, its pennanenco is threatened. The investigation by the Health Board bal Rot been undcrtaken a moinent sn.ni.

and the information thus obtained will be invahiable if it can bo utilized as a basis for practiral operationa in defenoe of the water snpply. We have no wish to encourage a panic, and there is no 0CC4MBBR for one. Hunning water has the, pOWjBI of s( and when the vol ume and th" distance traversed are great it is compatatively safe to rely RpOfl the elimina tion of even largo sum of impurities, thoogh this factor of c-afety appears to bc variablo and uncertain. lt is possible that the present investigation will prove, as did that of a few years BgO, that the coutamination has not yet passed the dan gcr limit; but tho disiiuieting fad baa aheady been established that the pollotiaa is iiidcas ing at its nourees. Indood, under the circum stances nothing different is (KMBtole, for the population of th? Croton WB80rihed is IBg and its industries are multijilying.

and neither law rot custom IRterpoeea any effective defeaee. The people of Breivatora naake no of deoyiaf that Tooetta Cnek is thoii sewer, but thej say that their BM of fol that pnrpose antedates its uso by Ncw-York B8 8 water supply, and hence the lemedy with us, BOt with them. Aside frOBI consiibrations of this character, it is doubtful if the eRforce ment of the law agaitwt deliling the CrotOR and its tiibiitanes is practieable, ia the abaeRce of a pobllC si'iiliment which ORRROt be expected tfl at poiRta remote from this city. So far as we can tee, the oiilj Beoflrity for the futore Uea in the purchkae by New-York of the baBka of all the Btreaaia, harge and small, opoB arhich we depend for water, wherever they are or are Hkely to be occRpIed fot any purpose in jurious tO our interests.
