The Senate will no doubt proceed to confirm Robertson and adjourn by the end of the week.

THE WATER FAMINE IN NEW
YORK.

The water famine in New York is
unprecedented in the history of that
city. Ii IS causing Il general panic
among residents.
Although it began raining there on
Saturday last, the fall was so slight that
20 relief was obtained by it.
The Herald says that the worst phase
OF the situation, ii the meteyologists are
correct, is that permanent relief is still
in the dim future. They must have
torrents" OF rain in that latitude before
the lakes and reservoirs rise to their
usual standard and until that point
has been attained the peril to that city
viii not have been averted.
Meanwhile they are using every exer-
ton To save and husband their present
resou ces. The most stringent measures
are being taken to prevent waste. The
HrrH saws that districts where 1t was
found the water was being recklesslv
wasted have been cut of altogether.
This NAV seem harsh, but it is the only
safe rule TO adopt. To waste the Croton
water in the present emergency is
crime. To be sure no punishment is
provided Ivy law for such an offence, but
We are glad the department has deter
mined 10 exercise all the authority it
possesses in the premises, aud We trust
!: will continue TO do so. The safety OF
lie and property is the first and highest
consideration in this juncture, and no
matter what inconvenience NAV be oc-
ca,iorci the rule OF the most absolute
and rigid economy should be enforced

TRADE SCHOOLS AS ADJUNCTs TO
FREE SCHOOLS.

FREE SCHOOIS.
New York last year opened mp what
it calls "a Trade School" 1t became
at once very popular, and was crowded
with pupils. Glasses were formed Tor
practical instruction in drawing and de-
sign. decoration, modelling, and carving
carriage draughting, and plumbing, and
no less than l4S pupils were enrolled
The school was open day and even
ing Lectures were given by specialists
in the trades and arts, but
prime feature was made OF shop instruc
ton by foremen and journeymen from
factories in the city. The.coming wear,
with the donations already made, Il Is
intended 20 open up new features, ana
large workshop is to be appended
Plumbers, painters, bricklayers, sanitary
engineers, etc will be instructed IN all
their various departments. The charges
made for pupils cover only the a@inai
cost of the instruction. The institution
is neither charitable nor money-maklnc
Ii is certainly move in the right d!rec
ton, and might well be copied by other
cities.
We doubt not that in our own city,
such an institution would be OF inca.cu-
liable benefit TO the large class OF young
men who are either engaged in, or III
tending to seek employment as opera
tives in our various manufacturing rs
adjustments.
Better yet would ii be ii departments
were opened in oar Tree schools for
young men seeking an education Of this
character. There are hundreds OF young
men in straitened circumstances who
cannot afford the time TO complete
course in the free schools that would be
OF much practical benefit, hut II, in con-
neCtiOn with the elementary branches
taught in tie schools, they could be
learning trade which would prepare
them to 60 directly from the school to
the workshop as competent operatives,
they would neither lose time nor money,
for the increase in their wages from the
beginning would compensate them Tor
tn" time spent as apprentices IN the
workshop.
Tue free schools would thus become a
great boon to large class OF every pop
ulation which now derives no benefit
whatever from them. Americans are ill.,
;easely practical, and little more OF the
practical infused into our free school
methods would increase not only their
popularity, but their usefulness. Asst
is our free schools and colleges tit men
oulv for the learned professions, which
are, a. consequence, OvercrowdeG. II
tia would prepare pupils Tor the wo'k
shops their usefulness would be IN
creased sn hundred fold. Mental disvi.
pline is not to be underestimate in any
ui the ayocations OF life, but it is Just AS
reasonable that pupils acquire the men
tai discipline by processes that Will mt
them for the trades as it il by methods
which ii. them exclusively for the pro.
