England and the War.

In his speech at the Lord Mayors dinner
Earl Beaconsfeld declared that England
had adopted, as soon as the war broke out,
and still maintained policy OF conditional
neutrality Conditional Oh what? Evil
IDENTIFY on the success of the Ottoman army
AS the Premier put it, England would be
neutral if the operations OF the war did not
menace her interests. If they did she
would become party to the conflict. But
the operations OF the war would menace tho
interests of England if tho Russians had
such success on the Balkans as would open
to them tho road to Constantinople In
other words, Russia has England's full per-
mission to make war on the Turks so long rs
she does not whip them. If the Turks con-
tinue victorious England will stand aloof
if they need her help they shall have it.
That is the substance of the policy as de-
clared fifteen days since. But already then
the tide had changed. and since it has be-

Pulpit Topics To-day.

If we were to judge by the pulpit an
nouncements we should think that the
churches and pastors had overlooked their
Thanksgiving services this year. Formerly
they told us where and whether they would
hold such services, three or four or more
churches usually uniting for that purpose.
Two of our city pastors, Mr.. Johns and Mr..
Mccarthy, "taking time by the forelock,"
will preach their Thanksgiving sermons
to-day: two others, DR.. King and Mr..
Gracey, will speak about missions, the
former with special reference to city work
and the latter to the work in India, with
which he is familiar and still other two,
Mr.. Hatfield and Mr.. Newton, will address
themselves especially to women, the former
indicating the general mission of young
women, and the latter their love-ward domes-
tic mission. Two more of our city pastors,
Mr.. Moment and Mr.. Burch, will present
certain phases of the Prodigals career, the
former giving more particular attention to
his departure from home rs symbolic
of mans general apostacy from God.
and the latter dwelling on his re-
turn home. Mr.. Hepworth Will offer
to young men some laws of success
for their guidance, and will prove that we
have Il revelation from God Mr.. Macarthur
will demonstrate that neither atheism, spir-
itualism nor any kindred ism can give the
needed help and life that humanity longs
for, and Mr.. Davis will compare the testi-
mony OF science and of religion as tested in
a storm, and give the results to his flock.
Dr. Crook will speak of trust in God, and
Mr.. Colcord on belief, which is a kindred
theme. Mr. Searles will present arguments
to show that real goodness cannot be hid.
Mr.. Alger will give US the law of mutual in
fluence and Mr.. Giles the principles that
actuatc God in the ministry OF sorrow to
men that good may come to them therefrom.

but in 1876 fell to 1868, 600, 600, and for The
ten months of 1877 has been only 307, 0OO, 900
gallons. These are Commissioner Camp
bells figures, and we beg to present them
as evidence that the Croton district is not
q reliable source in any respect. From
some cause or other the rainfall has de-
creased in that section of the country the
ground has absorbed more than it's usual
percentage Of water or q greater evapora-
ton has taken place 1t is natural
to suppose that more surface has
been broken for cultivation, and We
can understand why smaller drainage out
come rs well rs greater loss by evapora-
ton must result when the soil is loosened
to the depth of one foot or more. With Gull
tivation will also increase the percentage of
impurities, organic and inorganic, in the
water collected from the land. But the
chief test of all is the steady decrease in the
production of water.
Any discussion of plans or sources must
be delayed until the principle is established
that large city must receive water from
more than one source and through more
than one conduit in order to have reliable
supply. This once admitted-and the
Commissioner of Public Works goes
some way in doing SO with regard to New
York--it is not difficult to determine
whence or how the water is to be drawn.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Campbelps statement
to the contrary We believe that it is prac-
ticable to bring partial supply OF water
from Long Island, and that the resources of
that district have scarcely been touched MS
yet. We also regard it ms feasible to draw
water from the Passaic, it necessary. But
rs these questions cannot be treated in this
article at sufficient length we prefer to take
them mp at some other time for examina-
ton. We arc satisfied, however, that,
so far as the requirements of New
York are concerned, the Croton district
is exhausted, that the Croton aqueduct
cannot be relied on to supply m ever in
creasing population and that measures must
be speedily adopted to insure an ample and
unfailing flow of water to every house. 1t
is all nonsense to compare the per capita nj
lowance of the Londoner with that of the
New Yorker, and then to declare that the
latter is extravagant in the consumption of
water. The conditions Of living, climate
and individual habit even in the two cities
arc wholly different and create for New York
necessities that ore unknown in the British
capital. 1t will be of the highest interest
to the people of this city if the full discus
sion OF the water supply question will re-
suit in better water supply.

why it should restrain its virtuous

1t was true that this ''year after year" part
of the story was rather trouble to people
who thought that the Senatorial purity
should assert itself with reasonable prompt
itude. But it now appears that they
were over hasty and even ungenerous in
their suspicious. Although the Senate re-
garded with scorn the carpet-baggers who
had mo fixed principles in politics
it saw that their principles could be
fixed without difficulty, and it fixed them.
1t fixed them so that they should always vote
with the republicans. Voting with the
republican party is Of course, the sum of all
human virtues, and when they practised

1t is not an encouraging sign to find new
revelation of fraud and dishonesty on the
part Of trustee excite no more surprise in
the community than new case of clubbing
by policeman. The Therasson case fol-
lows closely on the heels of the Plume
defalcation, which came swiftly after the
exposure Of Barrett's rascalities and those
of half dozen other respectable offenders.
The latest operator who is alleged to
have rol bed those he was bound in
honor to protect was protesting
Christian, who. while his conscience
was loaded down with the knowledge of
his crimes affected to be q strict Church
member, discharged the duties of vestry-
man and led the hymns in Sunday school.
To the character Of a dishonest trustee he
added that of religious hypocrite. We
cannot expect to find any decrease in this
class of crime until some of the offenders
have been brought to justice. There
is q law which provides for the pun
ishment of dishonest trustees. but if
an attempt should be made to enforce it
flowers and complimentary resolutions
would be showered upon the victim as lib
orally MS upon perjured insurance officer !;
his sentence would be deferred in order to
afford him a chance to use his dishonesty
acquired wealth to defeat the law, or his
trial would be postponed on a plea OF ner-
vous debility. Until courts become more
rigorous and prosecuting officers do their
duty without fear or favor we shall continue
to have dishonest trustees and to look upon
their crimes with indifference.

Tho Wreck or the War ship Huron.
The loss OF the United States sloop-of-
war Huron, with nearly one hundred officers
and men, which took place yesterday morn
ing, is very great public MS well as private
calamity, and will create profound i'm
preston throughout the country. Sym
pathy for the unfortunate men who lost
their lives on the wild and iDhospitable
North Carolina coast, within short dis
lance of the shore, will Of course be the first
feeling Of every ono who reads the piteous
story presented in our dispatches. There
were in oil, officers and men, about one
hundred and thirty persons on board, and
only thirty succeeded in getting safely to
land Four Of these were officers, three
belonging to the staff who had nothing to
do with the management OF the ship, and
one officer Of the line of minor rank.
The Captain and all the chief officers
persisted. No assistance whatever was sent
them from the shore, for none was possible.
The life saving station near the point where
she struck might have given some help. but
unfortunately it was not manned, and
might as well have been on the summit Of
the Rocky Mountains. The unfortunate
men were left to their fate and we have no
doubt they met it and died as brave men
only know how to die.
But there is another side to this most sad
and unfortunate event which will readily
suggest itself to every one. Before the
Huron sailed tho despntches say that the
storm signals had been flying for three days.
How did it happen that these warnings
were so fagrantly disregarded? They are
work of the government, on which it an
nually expends large sum of money.
How was it that the Captain Of the Huron or
those who ordered him to sea paid no atten-
ton to them? 1t certainly seems strange and
incomprehensible that government ship,
Of all ships, should utterly disregard the
warming which the government is at the
pains and expense to give There is evil
IDENTIFY dreadful responsibility resting
somewhere, which, it is to be hoped, court
of inquiry will speedily ascertain. There
are other questions. too, in connection with
the wreck which the public will insist
to understand how q ship so re-
Gently built should, in so short o time,
become total loss. Certainly it was not
through bad seamanship, because there are
no better sailors in the world than in the
American Navy. II her machinery, Us is
suspected, broke down at the first breath Of
the storm and made her q helpless log on
the waters, it must have been worth
less, and the fact ought to be known.
There have been serious charges made
recently in regard to the management
of the navy. 1t has been asserted that our
war vessels are utterly unseaworthy not
withstanding the large amount of money ex-
pended upon them. It may be that this
Huron was one Of them.-a mere floating
coffin. The public ought to be informed on
all these points, and searching inquiry is
in order either by the department or by
Congress.
