SILENCE ABOUT The SURPLUS.

One of the minor merits of The TRIBUNE
ALMANAC il the duplicate form in which the
debt statement is presented. One form Is tnat
adopted by the Treasury in Aplll last. Inc
other is the one previously existing. by means
of the latter comparison of the National debt
"a it stood in December last with the previous
years statement is possible.
II will be remembered that during the cam
paign of 1854 the Democrats, particuIary of the
South and West, arraigncd the Republican
marty for keeping so large a surplus idle in the
Treasury. They portrayed the immense stimuli
lus to prosperity which would result II the sur
plus could be- paid out in place of being
boarded The late Vice .Prrslde"t, MI
Hendricks. created much excitement in the
West by his comments upon the SUBJECT an"
Senator Sherman and others were summoned 10
the stump To eXpla n what the surplus was
whence it cane, how it grew, what 1t repre-
senteu and why 1t was Increasing. Liberal
promises were made of the relief which would
be experienced By the country 1t the Democ-
racy we're only put in power so "a to operate
upOn that surplus.

sFcRETdRY WHITNEFS POLICY.

Government" he says, "will get better ships
wear by year out of private shlp-yards IMAM IL
will bv building them itself" He favors very
decidedly the system of contracts with firms or
individuals.
This. we hardly need to add, is a principle for
which The TRIBUNE has stoutly contended.
The uniform experience of the European naval
Powers tends to show that better an ii cheaper
vessels of war can be built at private yards
under adequate inspection than in Government
Yards. The Secretarys remarks on this subject
are timely and judcious, and we have no desire
tn dissent from his conclusions. But inasmuch
as his admirers are constantly referring to the
nr,cticol ability, the cOmmOn-sense methods
and nlain business-like habits of the present
Administration of the Navy Department, it is
necessary to refer to his warfare upon private
ship-yards in which, as he admits, the new Navy

HOW TO STORE THE CRDTON WATER.

HOW TO STORE THE CRDTON WATER
The report of the Union League Clubs COM
mittee on the best methods of storing up the
wafer of the Croton RIVER, which was published
in The TRIBUNE a few days ago, ought to
have much weight with the Aqueduct CommIs-
sion. 1t a capital contribution 20 the discus
SION regarding the building of the big dam at
Quaker Bridge. The facts and figures which it
presents are the result of careful investigation
and study and deserve thoughtful cOnsldera-
ton. OF course these facts and figures are not
entirely new. But they are grouped together
i'm striking and convincing way, and form a
strong argument in favor OF putting of, at
least, the construction of the enormous dam.
Twenty eight years ago, it is pointed out, the
engineers of the CrOtOn Aqueduct Department
fixed the sites of ten reservoirs on the four
branches of the Croton River. These together
would have capacity of $4,000, 100000 gal
lons-5O pe1 cent more than the proposed res
eryoir at Quaker Bridge. With the reservoirs al
ready built at Brewsters and at BOyd's Corners,
this syst IN would embrace a drainage area of
TIA square miles, and the quantity of storable
| water capable of being gathered In these basins
would be rs, 200, 100000 gallons year
| enough to fill the twelve reservoirs one and a
half times every twelve months. In case OF
need this quantity would supply the city with
| 300,OuO,0O0 gallons a day for over Six months.
| This is some three times as much as the daily
simply now furnished. 1t is evident therefore
! that 1t will be many years before the city Will
| need all these storage reservoirs. III the most
| available sites were now selected and Duilt
upon, some of these reservoirs would be In use
| by the time the new aaueduct is finished. This
could not be The case with the huge Quaker
| Bridge Dam, which will take from four to six
years to build
| Various other advantages are dwelt upon by
! the committee, such the increased purity OF
| the water that would be caused by its fiowng
over the rver-bed several miles after being
| released from the reservoirs; the decreased la
billy to accident, Iby having the supply stored IN
several places instead of one; the comparative
| safety from sudden destruction by an enemy
and the greater ease with which contaminated
or filthy basin could be cleaned.
If after this scheme is wholly or partly car
ried into effect it is deemed desirable or neces-
sary 70 build the gigantic dam at Quaker Bridge
| that, of course can be done. This dam neces
| arily will be an experimental structure, as there
| Is nothing like it on earth ; and it will prove a
| costly experiment whenever 1t IL built. Inc
svstem of storing water on the branches OF the
| Croton will furnish an ample supply probably
for generation. The AQueduct Commissioner
