MOEE WATER FOR THE err.


The Aoueduct commissioners arc hearing
arguments for and against the construction of
the great work known as The Quaker Bridge
Dam and Reservoir. There is strong opposition
from those who have given the matter much
study, including some OF the members OF she
cor,,uissiou. An enormous direct outlay for the
work itself would be necessary; the claims for
damages Of all kinds from persons whose lands
would bc oycrflowcd and whose health would
be affected would be immense; and there would
be delay of at least five years in procuring
greater water supply for the metropolis
The expense Of the proposed dam and rcser
voir would run far up into the millions. The
latest estimate of Chief Engineer Church for
the Quaker Bridge Dam, gatc-houSc, overflow
and temporary dams to control the water OF
the Croton River while excavating for and
building the foundations OF the great dam, is
S4,O27 COO. The Muscoot Dam, subsidiary to
the larger one, and about six miles above it, the
new roads for d distance of ten miles Oh either
side of the new reservoir, the new bridges ncces-
sary, the raising Of the track of the Harlem
Railroad near Brew stcr's Station, the clearing
of tic basin, ETC., wOuld swell the total estimate
to S5.5l3,1O0. No one doubts that this is Tar
too small. Estimates always are. But this
estimate takes no account of the cost of the
land which must DO paid for in order tG form
this great reservoir or lake nor are other dam
ages allowed for. Competent judges estimate
the cost of the entire scheme ut not less than
$40 600, 900. The dam will be to certain
extent an experiment. there is no similar
structure in existence SO high as this will be
from the foundation to the coping. 1t is not
likely that so colossal an undertaking could be
completed i'll less than five years Tho season
is now so Ear advanced that nothing could be
done before April SO that it would be April,
1891. before any considerable increase Of our
water supply could be looked for. This is not
pleasant prospect.
An easy way may be found out OF the diff
Guilty. Within two years from next May the
new aoueduct will be finished. The contractors,
under the terms of their contracts, are required
to finish their work within thirty three months
from tho time of beginning. They may not
mite accomplish that, bat they should be
through by May, 1888. When the plans ioI
the new aqucduct were under consideration,
Isaac Newton, then Chief Engineer Of the
| Department of Public Works, submitted plans
| for two reservoirs, connecting with each other
near Sodom, on the east branch OF the Croton
River. All the surveys have been made and the
property maps drawn, aud the plans for the
| dams and reservoirs are in good past finished
so that there need bc no long delay 10 advertis
| ing for proposals for the work. By the esti'

STORM IND FLOOD.

The gale which swept over the coast yestcr-
day and Monday conceded most disastrousiy
with the high tide following the fall OF the
moon, and the general results OF this comblna-
ton have been pretty serious. The influx OF
the tide in the lower part of the city yester-
day exceeded that i'll any recent year.
Cellars which had escaped previous
visitations were filled this time. Many docks
and streets were kncc-dcep in water.
According to the Signal Service Bureau the
storm should have ceased on Monday night /;
but somehow it continued all day yesterday
with increasingly destructive effects. Coney
Island is reported to have been nearly sub
merged. The big hotel at Brighton had surf
breaking on the front steps. Rockaway was
terribly maulcd by wind and tide. Everywhere
the wind drove the water to uneXampled
heights, and there were many narrow cScaTcs
from losses of disagrecablc extent
This storm has been one OF considerable area
and il appears TO have been mischlcvons almost
everywhere. The marrow margin allowed IN
most cases for the discharge OF the sewers was
shown in the way they filled and reversed their
action. flooding the districts they we're meant
to drain. On the Jersey Coast the damage
was extensive. Sandy Hook seemed IN danger
OF being washed away ut one time, the positions
of the Government stations there being rem
dered insecure. The wind i1otcd there rs well
"A the tide, and while the first carried away
chimncys and blew down fral buildings, the
second submerged and washed out the railway
tracks, covered the docks, and ruined whatever
houses were near the beach. The catalogue OF
disasters is not yet completed, but when all the
reports are ia it will probably appear that the
high tide and northeastern of November % and
q, 1885, did much more than an ordinary
amount of harm.
The distinguishing feature of this storm Is
tho coincidence of IL very high tide with con-
tiDuous gale. There have been high tides and
mlschi,vous ones before, and there have been
severe and destructive gales at about the same
time of wear, but on this occasion gale and lido
have so co-oporated as to result in heavy
damage in the city ana still heavier damage in
outlying districts. In 1854 there was vciy
high tide, and again in February. 1881. but that
Of yesterday appears, with the aid OF the gale.

TIN" sr1LwARrS" And DIR. DArl

THE "STfLWdRTS" md DIR. DATENPORE
At the outset of the late canvass The lRIB-
UNE expressed the belief that the Republicans
of Ncw-YOrk were united; that those oi our
party brethren who were once known as " stall
warts equally will. those of tue same house
hold who had figured ~ "hdf-brccds, would
LOCALLY support Mr. Davenport. Not 80 argued
leading Democratic newspapers These organs
of Mr.. Till predicted that the Republican State
ticket would either TO let severely alone or
would be iicrcely knitted by the "Stalwarts."
There was no warrant Tor this piece of prOph
ecy, but in the absence of any real foundation
for their prediction. Mr.. Hills heated partisans
substituted a sham baais framed of their evil
desires. They ycarncd to sec factiOnali-m ic-
assert itself in the Republican ranks and there
fore declared that ii was going TO reasscrt
itself.
Well. the election figures demonstrate that
these Democratic prophets OF Republican dis
sension would do well 10 try some other line Of
business. The returns. as appears from the
letter which we publish to-day, convict them
of being di,mal failures az forccasicrs of the
future. 1t is well known TO everybody who is
acquainted with the true inwardncss of the
politics OF this State that Erie and Oneida, Tor
reasons into which it Is not profitable to go mt
this late date, have been the counties in which
"Stalwartsn most did cougrcgatc aud display
political activity. Hence. if il can be shown
that the "stalwarts oil both Eric and Oneida
pulled true to our State ticket, then what passed
for portcntous prophecy at the headduarcr, of
the Democratic Committee will be resolved into
rank llapd0odlc. But that is precisely what
can be shown. How was it in Ere County? In
1881 the Republicans carried Erie County by
400. This year they carried it by 1929 n
cain of 73j. How was il in Oneida County 2
In 1854 the Republicans lost Oneida, MIR. Clcyc-
land carrying it by 80. This year, however. it
gave Mr. Davenport 4 majority of 1913.
Those figures cannot bc explained away. Nor
does an examination OF the returns from other
counties furnish the prophets any offset Sew
eI7 causes contributed 10 the Republican dc-
feat, some of which our correspondent notes.
But fncts-ngurcs that don't lie-are dead
against the charge that stalwart diaailcction
was one of the causes.

p1ILRnAn PROBLEIMS.

Not mich that is complimentary can be said
of the New Jersey people who propose 10 com
mel the commerce of the country TO pay tribute
eyerlastIngly to few persons who control Tue
water fronts in Jersey City. Such monopol!
will not long dc tolerated in any event. Ii IL Is
found possible in the New jersey Lrglsla''rt

Jersey and Staten Island, Congress may

Of the people of New Jersey would be glad TO

The public men who take active part III resist

ant to find in the end that their course Is
costly one to them.
Respec,ng the West Shore Railroad, and the
effort to defeat the lease to the New ! ork
Central, the case is different. whether the
arrangement between the cieditors OF the W est
Shore and Mr.. Vanderbilt was or was not desr-
able for the public interest, it has been virtually
consnmmateC, nearly the entire body OF credit
ors having asscntcd to the plan. Both the
PENNSYLVANIA and the Baltimore and Ohio com
panies had ample opportunity long ago to
secure the control OF this property, had they
desired to do so. 1t is not probable that the
Baltimore and Ohio wants TO control such
road Except between New-lork and Buffalo,
it could have no use for the West Shore road
hnt rho West
Shore and the Baltimore and Ohio could be
made even after the latter company has eStab-
lisncd IFS terminus on Staten Island, unless by II
long transfer by boat from Staten Island up to
Weehawkcn, ana III some seasons such u trans
fer is liable to be greatly interrupted. Hence
the report that the new opposition to the west
Shore arrangement has behind it II desire ct
the Baltimore and Ohio To control that property
Is probably without other basis than desire to
influ,ncc the stOck market.

4 MELTING HiND IUR POOR CHILDREN.
"No homeless boy in Ncw-York need at this
time he without II shelter where he can get II
" clean bed and Il nOuriShing meal, nor without
"mcntal and moral training. if he will take it,
@nor long without good permanent home if no

girl need rove the streets and beg or pebble
"shclcr, food and industrial education are
"rcady for her. and if homeless kind family
{" is waiting to receive her"
This il comforting statement to meet with
in these days when there is so much tulk about
the misery aud vice in our tenement houses.
1t is made in the thirtythird annual report of
the Chlldren's Aid Society, which was presented
to the Board of Trustees yesterday. The re-
port is !, long one, but it is well worth studying
from beginning to end. 1t reviews the work
of the society since its foundation, and shows
that the good seed sown among the children is
bearing good fruit to an extent little dreamed
of By most people in this big city. Thus, in
| 1857. GA girls committed for petty
larceny, and only 2G7 in 1884. atho ugh the
! population is double what 1t was in 1887 and
| the police are far more vigilant. In $50 the
commitments of women and girls for vagrancy
amounted to one in every 1882 persons. and
! in 1884 to only one in every 533 There has
been &c, but not correspondingly large,
decrease IN male yagrancey. Crimes against
business ard property have fallen oil 12la per
| cent in tho last ten years.
Since its foundation the society has sent to
country homes 1873 homeless young people
the number sent last year having been }, 400.
Many of the city street boys prosper amazingly
out West, and some of them are developing
into bank presidents and college professors
The shrewdneSs acquired by early contact with
city life often enables thom to get ahead OF
their country competitors. During its years OF
increasing usefulness the society has sheltered
partly fed, and instructed over 800, 900 young
sters. Now it wants money to start a school to
teach boys farming, and money to add to and
improve its industrial schools and lodging
houses. 1t ought to get all the money it needs.
1t does not create paapers as many charities do
but it undertakes to teach poor boys and girl
