tacrur,pr. Influences, and British ships and
guns where threats would not serve, they
,vore poweriess to unite upon policy
of their own. 1t was perfectly plain
10 him. ms it has since been plain
to all candid and intelligent men, that
British influence in South America would have
been checked, greatly to the permanent al
vantage Of this country. and without the
slightest risk, IL the course proposed by him
had been resolutely pursued. That President
Arthur himself came to recognize this TACT,
though not until the opportunity had passed.
the historian of this Administration
will be bound to say In justice
to the President, nor will the fact
be overlooked that the extraordinary per
sonal and political difficulties OF President Ar
tburs earlier months rendered the prosecution
of the policy outlined by Mr. Blaine well-nigh
an impossibility. It's execution by President
Arthur. without strongly Republican Senate
was infinitely more difficult than would have
been its execution by President Garfield.
The country will now begin to inquire just
what 1t was that Mr.. Blaine proposed to do, ana
why that policy was met with such mali gnant
and venomous assault by the American repre-
sentatives of the Rothschilds. 1t will be asked
how many millions certain British capital
lists were enabled to pocket, by reason
of their success in arousins such OPP
position in what are commonly known
as the British journals of this city. Democratic
support of Mr.. Belmont in Congress Will be
Judged once more, and it will be asked, in the
light of later events. whether the course of Mr.
Belmont and of his Democratic associates
was wiser, more free from selfish pecuniary
interests, or more patriotic and conducive
to the National welfare than the
course which they misreprescnted and
foully assaied. 1t will be found that what Mr.
Blaine did was worthy of all honor. 1t will also
be found that what was done by the Democratic
and other representatives of British interests,
in the press and in Congress, particularly in
vited at the hands of Americans measure oil
dishonor which it has not yet received.

cruel. But since the supply OF water is ''inu,
eouate for the needs Of this great city ana
cannot be increased at the present time by any
attainable methods, the people OF New ork
will clearly have to adapt themselves 10 the
circumstances, on peril of suffering far greater
Inconvenience than the necessity OF econoihH-

garded as applying to our neighbors, but not 10

have to take this appeal to themselves IL any
good is to come of it, for unless all unite IN
checking waste those who have begun to do so
will soon give it up when they see that others
are making no change in their habits. vi

cannot be- helped for the present, and therefore
it becomes the duty of all as good citizens TO

TILE H1TER W1RNING.

Commissioner Thompson has issueda warning
to the public against the waste OF water. lie
states that the Department OF Public Works
ais using with the utmost vigor and vigilance
"the authority and means at its command to
"Iimit the waste of water but that I" all these
measures will not avail to avert the peris of
" a continuous decrease of pressure in the water
" supply unless the public shall rise to and act
@upon the appreciation of the fact that they
@must employ the same care i'll the use of the
"water which they employ IN the use Of any OF
the other necessaries OF life From the re-
port of Chief Engineer Newton it appears that
the danger Of water famine Is really consider
able; that the consumption Is largely in excess
of the supply available; that the level in the
reservoirs was lowered two feet and five inches
between May II, and June 10; and that if this
reduction proceeds much farther 1t "will leave
"parts of the city without water, and may re-
" suit in most serious consequences III case of Il
large fire" Under such circumstances it is
NOT reassuring to be told that the means avail
able bv the authorities for the prevention of
waste are practically exhausted, that the waste
still goes on, and that there is no longer any
way of dealing with it but by an appeal TO the
general public.
For if all the preventives cited by the Com
mis- sioncr have been found necessary, ii was OBJ
viously because those who Use water could not
DC trusted to economic it; and if after every
practicable remedy for extravaganza has been
exhausted the waste sill continues, the logical
inference is that those who are wasting the
water can only be Geterred by more stringent
measures than have yet been applied. The fact
10 doubt is that scarcely any one can be
brought to regard water as thing to be econ
omizod, when the supply is plentiful, and in the
hot season most people find new uses for IT,
and naturally, if not nationally, resent any prop
ostion looking to economy as tyIannicdl and

WHY BRITISH JOURNALS DISLIKE MR.,



Already those who began to throw mud have
come to the conclusion that something more
solid is needed to beat Mr.. Blaine. The per-
sonal accusations against him have been buried
under the most overwhelming manifestation of
popular approval and confidence that has ever
been given to any American not already elected
to the Presidency. Those who see the need of
using stones, instead of mud, have therefore
begun TO assail what they are pleased to call
"Mr. Blaine's foreign policy"
May they continue The sooner they manage
to fix the attention of the people upon the things
which Mr. Blaine actually did and said with
respect to foreign affairs, the sooner he viii
carry half the States hitherto reclloncd Demo
cratic.
Mr. Blaine believes in America for the Ameri-
cans. He believes that the peaceful influence
and the industrial and commercial predOmi-
nance of the United States, as against
the influence of any European Power
ought to be felt in both North and
South America Ii was bis aim, when Secretary
of State, TO enlist the sympathy and command
the confidence of the South American States.

diplomacy, British commercial and manu-

The River and Harbor BILL passed by the
House Yesterday, is nearly as bad as any similar
bill adopted by that body. The only difference
between this and the last River and HarDor
bin is that thetotal appropriation is less. But
fine total amount was reached by scaling down
the items. and not by striking out the bad ones.
The ONLY item stricken out was that making an
appropriation for the Hennepin Canal But
new work of that magnitude and character
should never have been included IN bill Tor
the improvement of rivers and harbors." The
bill makes appropriations for large number
of alleged rivers, not to be found in any atlas.
But really important improvement like that
at Hell Gate is treated in a shameful manner
Early in the session General Newton asked Tor
S42O, 900 to meet the cost of the final explosion
at Flood Rock. He said that anything less
than $3.50, 900 would be useless. But the com,
mittee reported 100000, and it has delayed
action so long that even that sum if sufficient
could not be used this year. Hence the Govern
ment will be put to a useless expense of 5000
in pumping out the water at the Flood Rock
excavation, and the explosion will be delayed
for another year.

precedent has departed from In several cases es-
pecaly that OF Nevada The majority Of the Territories

political grounds except in the case of Utah, perhaps
When Territory has population sufficient to supprt

may be fatal to admission I'm the Of Utah The
same trouble is appearing in NewMeIico, and besides,

permanent development of the Territory Arizona and
