South is beginning to realize some Of the things
which have long been patent to her friends IN
the North it is welcome.
OF course the real remedy, which IN time
the thinking men of the South win discover lies
in the opposite direction from the one we nave
noted The sectional spirit should be oollter-
ated. not accentuated. To use homely e4-
preston, the Democrats of the South ought
to refuse longer to be led around by the nose
by the Democrats and Populists of the North.
The excuse has always been the fear OF negro
domination. but, whatever may have been true
In the past there are now few States in the
South where there is any danger or negro
domination Under such circumstances there
can be no reason why the South should con-
tinue It's blind following after disrupted and
discredited Northern faction. In speaking OF
the Southern race problem at dinner in New
ark some years ago Senator Daniel, OF Vlr-
ginia, turned suddenly upon his hearers and
said. with something Of the old familiar IRE:
1.-THE South will solve this problem; do not you
"of the North think that you must help TO
solve IT." So, perhaps. it should be with the
Southern political problem; but we OF the
North are none the less permitted to watch
the current signs of an awakening with graft
fcation and brother1y sympathy.

WATER FOR TIE BRONX.

Commissioner Dalton asks for the exceptional
privilege of letting contracts to the amount OF
$4,000 in order that the Borough of The Bronx
NAV not suffer longer from an uncommon
scarcity of water. That unfortunate borough
is well known TO have been, comparatively
speaking n dry and thirsty land in recent
years, and its parched inhabitants have been
painting like harris for the water brooks. The
unhappy Bronxians have not been cherished
and looked after by the purveyors of reservoirs
and mains and pipes and spigots as they should
have been Their interests have been neg
lected while those of the residents of Manhat-
tan have been sedulously promoted.
At the time of the Revolutionary War GER
tain sapient officials in London got the fan
tastic idea into their heads that the Bronx
River was big broad, deep. navigable stream,
and orders were sent over the Atlantic that a
British fleet should sail up the channel and
lombard the Westchester strongholds Of Wash
ington and his army. The people who live in
the borough north Of Manhattan learned to
their sorrow long ago not only that the Bronx
was too narrow and shallow and diminutiye
to permit the passage of war vessels, but that
it was not sufficiently copious and regular in
its flow to provide the needful water supply
for the region through which 1t runs And
the Byram River has also fallen short of rea-
sonable expectations.
1t is generally admitted that the Borough Of
The Bronx must have more water and must
have it soon. But Commissioner Dalton Is not
looked upon by our taxpayers generally as
sleepless watchdog of the municipal treasury
In fact. his reputation is that Of a scatterer Of
appropriations Therefore it is advisable to
hold Dalton In check and TO set up safe
guards and restraints in his path when he
rushes ahead, crying loudly that he must have
$4,000 of the money Of our citizens in order
10 provide the northern borough with plenty
of water Every scheme suggested by Dalton
should be scrutinized warily. While 1t is true
that the hapless Bronxians should not be per-
mitted to go unwashed or to perish of thirst, it
should not be forgotten that some rain has
fallen this week

POLITICAL UNREST IN THE sorTH


There are many indications that the Soutb is

adherence to the Democratic party. From
various sources come expressions which fmnlv

TION OF $4,000 600.

by Secretary Gage yesterday and Is understood
to meet the Views Of the President In fact. the
members of the Ways and Means Committee
who the President last evening say that
before Secretary Gage appeared before the COM
mittee the whole matter had been carefully con-
sidered by the President and the Secretary.
The schedules which the reduction will be
made have not been decided upon Briefs from
interested persons are being received and con-
sdered. but the committee will give no hearings.

rsr8yJAg CANAL PROSPECTS.

Tho on+iook for the construction of canal
across rho Central American isthmus seems at
nresent 70 he more favorable than for many
years. That is in spite OF, and indeed because
of, the abrogation of the concessions which had
been granted for the enterprise. Under one OF
these much valuable work had been done. and
the failure of the company must always be
regarded as cause for regret. Nevertheless, 1t
did fail, and any attempt to maintain or to
revivify its concession would have resulted only
in complications and delay. The other concession
was regarded with some doubt at the beginning,
and would probably have been challenged and
resisted by various opposing claimants Both
have now been swept out OF the way leaving
the field free for an entirely new undertaking.
Equally important and suspicious is the
settlement of the long pending boundary dispute
between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The route
of the canal involves the territory of both these
States, and this dispute was therefore a serious
embarrassment to all negotiations for the
construction Of the canal. Not only is the
dispute now settled, and the two States on
terms of cordial friendship, but they are both
earnestly DESTROYS of the prompt construction
of the canal by the United States and under
United States control They realize clearly the
enormous industrial. commercial and political
benefits that would accrue to them from it and
from the more intimate relationship which
would thus be established between them and
the United States.
In such circumstances there should be little
delay in proceeding with this great work, the
completion Of which Is desirable for all the
commercial world and Is an absolute necessity
to the commercial progress and to the naval
supremacy of the United States Selfish interests
and fractional feeling have hitherto impeded it.
1t ought to be possible to sweep these out Of
the way thoroughly as the other obstacles
have been removed. The United States needs
the canal. 1t is able to construct the canal
And the sentiment of the Nation is strongly
and Enthusiastically in favor Of the canal Nothing
but some incomprehensible faulty, 1t would
seem, can therefore prevent the undertaking
and the speedy and successful completion Of
the work; and that any such obstacle will now
be effectively presented faith in the sound
practical sense of the American Nation forbids
us to believe.

1t may be stated officially that all that this
