State ticket Under these circumstances the
duty of the Virginia Republicans to support the
Lynchburg nominees seems to us plain, ana we
are glad to learn that with few exceptions they
are heartily engaged in the canvass in their be-
half. We respect the honest opinion OF men
who, like General Wickham, think an effort
should have been made to elect straight Ke-
publican ticket. Perhaps they are right, but
that is n matter of the past. The effort was not
made because "a majority of the party believed it
would fail, and thought that great practical
good could be achieved for the Republicans of
Virginia and the whole South by securing the
success of the Anti Bourbon movement led by
Malone. Now the only question is whether
the BOurbOns shall be given a new lease OF
power and the opportunity for breaking up
the Solid South shall be thrown away by the
action or non-action Of the Republican voters
of Virginia, or whether they shall join the
Liberals who have abandoned the Democratic
party and by so doing win great triumph for
their own principles and rights. There ought
to be no hesitation here. The road to victory
is broad and plain. If the Republicans give
the Lynchburg ticket their IS, 900 votes of last
year, or $4,000 of them, BOurbOnism will be
OverthrOwn in Virginia, and new day will
dawn for Republicanism from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande

IPEsH AND AMERIC4Y TENANTS.

1t is fact which is not generally understood
in this country that Irish tenants are accorded
under the new Land Act exceptional advan-
tages that are not enjoyed by corresponding
classes in any other quarter of the world. 1t
would be a most labOrious task to cite the pro-
visions of The leading land systems in Europe
in order to demonstrate the superior position Of
the Irish tenant not under nature, but under
British law. 1t may serve the purpose equally
well, if we compare the land system of the
United States with the Irish Land Act, and in
this way contrast the ordinary provision made
for the security of tenants here with the un-
precedented privileges granted there We can
do this most effectively by making the compari-
son under topical heads.

it would be much better, in view OF the Com
missions statement to raise more rather
than less. No doubt this estimate is made on
a basis of very limited relief.
The statement that when the effect of shut
ting down the gates Of the reservoirs showed
itself uptown in deficiency of water, many
persons were greatly astonished and could not
guess the cause, makes it easy to understand
the complaints of the officers of the Depart
ment of Public Works that, in spite OF all the
warnings which have been issued to the pub
lie, the waste of CrOtOn continues practically
unchecked The people Of the city have evil
IDENTIFY not walked up to the situation
With cold weather approaching, we have
scarcely more than a fOrtnights supply OF
water Should that time pass without eonsId-
erabe rains, the city would be dependent upon
the daily flow of the CrotOn Of 100000 to
10000, 600 gallOns-or about One-tweltth OF
the usual consumption. If hOuscholders, man
ufacturers, and Others who are pcrsisting IN
wantOn waste of water, once pause to con-
slider what an exhaustion of the reserve would
mean in stopping all kinds of work and throw
ing thousands of people out of employment
and in sickness-perhaps pestlence-they wonId
exercise strict economy for their own sakes
The death rate already shows the effect OF in
efficient drainage through lack of water How
often must these things be said to make an
impression on the public mindH
To-day and tomorrow are the last days OF
registration in this city. Every citizen who
wants to prevent the Democratic party from
gerrymandcrng this State in order to capture
more seats in Congress; every citizen who
wants to see the State Administration and the
Legislature remain in the hands of the party
which has reduced taxation to the lowest point
known since the War of the Rebellion; every
citizen who wants to see the Republican party,
with its high average of candidates, well rep
resented in the City GOvernment-will regis
ter. Upon the election Of the Republican can
didate for Congress-Mr. Astor-in one of the
city districts, may depend the control by the Re
publican party of the House of Representatives.
He will be the 147th straight Republican
member, the House numbering 292 and it is
essential that the party shall not be dcpcn-
dent upon the votes of men who hold mixed
political allegiance. Many thousands Of Re
pubicans have not registered who should do
so. Let it be done to-day.

CIVIL SERVlcE REFORM IN CONNECTICUT

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN CONNECTICUT
There was quite a notable gathering day
or two ago, at Ncw-Iiayen, of gentlemen in
terested in Civil Service Reform, which re-
suited in the organization of Connecticut
State Association for the promotion of reform
in the public service. 1t would be easy for
one who is acquainted with Connecticut poll
tics, and with the antecedents of some of the
gentlemen concerned in the movement, to
criticise it and hold it up to ridicule. In every
public enterprise, social, political or philan-
thropic, may be found men who thrust them
selves forward, and by their known character
expose the whole movement to the shafts of
satire and the suspicion of selfish motives.
Doubtless the New-Haven meeting was
not entirely free from elements which to
the cynical spectator suggested the incon-
gruous and grotesque. But the presence

The fifth annual commencement of the
Training School for Nurses, which took place
yesterday, showed seventeen graduates and an
excellent standard of proficiency in the work
of the school, This institution is plainly des-
tined to a long career of usefulness.
One serious result of the widespread drouth
is seen in the probable suspension of naviga-
ton in the Delaware and Hudson Canal. The
water in the feeders of the seventeen mile
level between Philipsport and Cuddebackville is
nearly exhausted, and this viii interrupt navi-

menter was nominated, and one of many
reasons why he should not be elected
The Republican County Convention has ap-
proved the ticket framed by the nOmi-
mating committee, and it is now formally
before the voters of the city. The
peculiar situation of local politics renders
it possible for the party to achieve
q substantial victory in electing good share
of this ticket. All that is needed is a full
registration and full vote. These will be had
if voters do their duty to-day and tomorrow.
Mr.. Theodore Stanton, the only American
delegate present at the recent Peace Congress
in Geneva, writes an interesting account in
another column of that conference, which at
tracted comparatively little attention at the
time, either in Europe or here. The possibil-
ity of framing treaty of permanent arbitTa-
ton between the United States and France
was the subject of special consideration by the
Congress, aud resolution was adopted ap-
proving the efforts made by the Executive
Committee to secure it and requesting that
they be continued.
Ex-senator Baldwin, chairman OF the State
Relief Commission appointed by Governor
jerome, of Michigan, makes the state
ment that the Commission has on hand
only $4,000 in cash over its iabili-
ties, and provisions for only two or three
weeks. 1t is estimated that $250,000 will
suffice to carry the sufferers over until next
May, although a larger sum would be most
welcome, and could be legitimately used" The
sum named is such a small fraction of that
which it has been supposed would be needed,
that it should be promptly and easily raised, and

As might have been expected, Mr. Watterson, the
author of the tarif-for-revenue-only" plank in

without precedent in National Democratic plat
forms. Mr. Wattcrson makes the point, which The
TRIBUNE made yesterday, that the platform of 1876
demanded that all Custom House taxation shall
be for revenue only" and says: " dr. Voorhees,
was a member OF the committee which adopted and
reported this platform, and neither history nor the
proceedings of the committee convention record
that he gave the least sign of opposition to it, He
was, perhaps, too full oi the finances But Mt Gin

New-York tribune., 1881-10-28

All three nominations for the olilce OF surrogate
are of such a character that the bar and the COM
munity AT large may feel that whatever be the
result Of the voting on November 3, this important
position will not be unworthilv filed. But if Mr..
Rollins is successful-and with the Democratic
votes divided between Mr.. Calvin and Mr.. Walker
he seems well-nigh certain OF the pace-Mr. Calvin
will have q successor Of uncommon ability and
merit. When the Office of Distrct-AttOTney be-
came vacant last year through the death of Mr..
Phelps, all the Justices Of the Supreme Court, some
of our most honOred judges in other courts, and not
few of our foremost lawyers of both parties, wrote
to Governor Cornell asking him to appoint Mr..
Rollins In those letters his abilities and excellences
of character were commended in the highest terms.
Mr.. Rollins has so borne himself in his many years
of arduOus and eXacting service in public Office as
to win the heartiest praise from the whole bench
and bar and the cordial support of good citizens
generally. He may expect not only the full party
vote, but some thing more.
The prompt confirmation by the Board of Alder
men to-day Of the rapid transit route laid out in

last june would afford relief TO the residents Of the
Twenty-third and Twenty fourth Wards, with whom

should be handsomely increased.
