Mr. Croes and His Queer Proposal
Apart from the Objectionable PERSONAL
ity of MI. Croes, the proposition, with
which his name is coupled in connection
with the new water e~ndeavors, seems to
be nothing short of outrageous.
This city cannot build waterworks for
itself. There is nc law which authorizes
1t to do SO. There is no law under which
it can raise one dollar for such a pur-
pose. There is no law by which it can
gain the control of the only available
water in the State. SINCE, under the ruling
of fhes Supreme Court, it cannot condemn
the rights of the Morris Canal.
But If the city cannot construct its own
works and acquire its own supply, what
conceivable use can it have for a new
survey of the watersheds of the State?
There is already ample surveys for all
practical purposes. There is the magni6-
cent work OF the State Geological Bureau,
embodied in maps and in a good sized
octave volume. Besides, there are books
or essays by half a dozen engineers.

questions.


Since framing some gentle criticisms of
Senator Smiths supposed departure to
Europe, we have learned that he did not
depart at ALL and that our remarks were
based upon an altogether as
sumption of facts. We are sorry. The
load of condemnation which the Senator
has to bear for things which he really
does or has done is sufficiently heavy
without adding to 1t the blame of imagi-
mar faults.
As to how it happened: Why. it all
came of believing the Evening Journal"
of this city. We found in the columns of
that Contemplating" sheet an account of
Senate Smiths departure for Europe,
embodying an interview with him, brief
bat Characteristic, upon the tariff and
the Hawaiian grab. 1t was all so cir
cumstantial, so matter of fact that it did
not occur to US that it was one of the
"~Journafs'' AXE
Senator Smith not only disproves the
story of his departure for Europe by APP
pearing in the flesh upon this side of the
Atlantic. but he also repudiates the in
terview. He says he never said the
things attributed to him.
If be did not say them, the Journal"
reporter was a good fakir, for the things
said sound like Smiths sayings. Per-
haps he did say them but did not in
tend them for publication" In one of
the interviews, not yet contradicted, in
which the Senator denied the Journal"
fake. he is represented as saying that the
Hawaiian question had come before Con-
gress during his absence, and he did not
know, nor had he considered what ac-
ton the Senat would take in regard to
1t. He was not prepared to discuss the
policy of acquiring new territory and
viewed the subject more as a matter of
expediency. If the islands Were essential
to the protection of the United States in
the Pacific, then it would not be a a
policy to annex them, but SO far as the
population of the islands was concerned,
the government had nothing to gain.
There is a Bunsby kind of wisdom about
this which closely resembles that of the
Journal interview, and which is one
OF the leading features of Senator Smiths
u~tterances on disputed public questions.

Republican Lenders Look for q Vote
Next Thursday Week.
The senators in charge Of the tariff bill
hope that the postponement of the con-
sideration Of the wool schedule until to-
morrow will enable them to conclude an
agreement which will greatly facilitate ac-
ton on the bill. In the opinion of some Of
the committee they will settle the matter
after further hearing Of the representa-
tives of the Philadelphia carpet men this
evening.
1t is hoped that two days Will suffice to
dispose of the wool schedule in the Senate.
The managers of the bill are calculating
on vote on the bill in the senate on
Thursday of next week. and. as has been
publicly stated by Mr.. Allison. they count
on completing the necessary conference
work in few days after the bill is once
out of the Senate.
Those interested in the matter on the
House side do not expect such speedy &C
ton in the conference. unless the senate
conferces enter into negotiations i'm a very
accommoda ling spirit. Really the basis OF
the belief in speedy conference is the dis
position to yield to the House. in the main.
