stream with sewage Is unlawful Evidently,
from the letter referred to. there are few
other cases of the kind to be fought out. Hart
ford for example, Is seeking to enjoin New
Britain from pouring its filth into Piper's Brook.
thence to flow into Park River. which runs
through Hartford. and the purity of which
Hartford prizes highly that she has spent
nearly 100000 in keeping her, own sewage out
of 1t. In that Hartford no doubt, is right
And yet she pours her own sewage into the
Connecticut River. TO flow down to Middletown!
Why has not Middetown the same grievance
against Hartford that Hartford has against
New-Britain? A similar Inconsistency may be
noted elsewhere Over in New-Jersey, for ex-
ample the big city of Paterson is much exer-
cised because the little city of Summit let's
some of its drainage escape into the Passaic
River, upstream from Paterson. And yet Pat
erson pours all It's sewage into the same river,
TO the distress of all who dwell further down
that stream So Peoria and ST. Louis do not
like the idea of Chicago sending her sewage
down the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to them,
but we have not heard that they make any
other disposition of their own sewage than to
pour it into those streams Really, no one city
can enjoy a monopoly of use of river as an
open sewer What is sauce for New-Brtain
and Summit and Chicago should likewise be
sauce for Hartford and Paterson and st. LOnis.
We observe that New-Brtain is about to try
a more enlightened method OF sewage disposal
Which reminds us. Not long ago q commenda-
ton in these columns of the sewage disposal
system of Paris was regarded by some critics
with partial increduity and partial antagonism,
and a strange tale was told to the effect that
Pariss new-fangled experiments with sewage
farms were proving nasty failures and would
seemed to be serenely obIivious of the facts
that that system was established In Paris more
than thirty years ago, and that its success Is
as unquestoned-in Paris and its suburbs,
where they ought to know about it-as the sue
cess of asphalt paving for streets, or electric
traction for streetcars. An interesting Paris
letter in "The Brooklyn Eagle" of Sunday last
gave a detailed account of the completion OF
this great work and of its inestimably benefcent
operation. There Is no hint whatever of failure
or of any serious complaint against the system.
On the contrary, its results are eminently sats-
factory all around The city is relieved of the
presence of pollution in the river which traVerses
it, and so are all the communities further down
stream; that which was formerly waste is now
a source Of wealth; and fertility, producdVeness
and profits never before dreamed of are the lot
of farms and gardens in the neighboring VII
lagos That is what has been accomplished IN
Paris 1t might be worth while for American
cities to consider the example In dealing with
their own water and sewage problems.

WArER AND SEWAGE PROBLEMS.

A Hartford letter in Sundays Tribune sug-
gested some interesting features of the problems
of water supply and sewage disposal. There is
in most of the cities and large towns Of Con
'nectcut a scarcity of potable water This is
attributed TO the lack Of rain for months past.
No doubt the fall Of water has been unusually
scanty, though not unprecedentedly So Yet
there is probably plenty of water within reach
If it were fit for use. There are many streams
from which no water can be taken because 1t is
uncean. The streams have been polluted by
the discharge from sewers or by the waste
products of factories; and so, though they may
be brimming full, the people must suffer from
drouth rather than drink from them The ques-
ton suggested is whether the water of a stream
Is more valuable for drinking and other such
purposes, or simply for the flushing of an open
sewer. If the former, then II ought TO be
preserved clean for that purpose. If the latter,
then people must look elsewhere for water and
stop complaining.
But how &c preserve the streams pure and
clean? We have hitherto commented upon the
admirable decisions OF Connecticut courts In
several cases. to the effect that pollution OF

The suggestion of Senator Platt, of Connecti-
cut, that no delegates in Congress be received
from Puerto Rico and Hawaii is worthy of care
full consideration There seems to he no reason
why such delegates should be received. Those
from our continental Territories have been pro-
vided for as preliminary to the election of full
Representatives when the Territories shall have
been erected into States, But there is no obli-
CATION and, sincerely trust, no intention to
take in as States any of these outlying bits of
property The United States of America does
not want its laws made for it by delegates from
the islands of the sea.

The proposition to construct two macadamized
