II may seriously be believed that il the prevent
able waste were checked. and all or nearly all

lavish use the present supply would be ample
for Manhattan for thirty years to come. and
the amount to-day in storage would be sufficient
/ for the city's uses through six months or alb

In Brooklyn the case is different. There is
plenty of water on Long Island. The trouble
is that Brooklyn is not allowed 10 get at all OF
it, and is not able 10 make use of that which
ii can get at. The borough has practically no
storage system. 1t has nothing but distrlDut-
ing reservoirs. When the springs, streams ana
wells are in flood. as they have been for weeks
past the water goes TO waste by hundreds of
millions of gallons. because there Is no place III
which TO impound it, When dry weather comes
on and the streams run low there Is scarcity
of water because no reserve supply has been
secured Plans have been made for storage
reservoirs, conduits and what not, but for some
reason or another-chiefy Tammany Hall rea-
sons-the work is not done. 1t is absolutely
'-N-N
the needed works, only to be tied up by log
rolling politicians who are not willing that the
public should he served unless they can have
their rake off, and so the people Of Brooklyn
are season after season doomed TO inconvenience,
suffering and actual death. Why has not the
Millburn Reservoir been repaired? And the
Spring Creek conduit built? And the new
pumps at AIillbum installed? And reservoirs
constructed on East Meadow Stream? The do
ing Of these things would have saved Brooklyn
from danger of water famine. But perhaps
they would not have been spectacular or
have offered such promise Of reward TO the
faithful as gigantic Catskill and Ten Mile River
schemes.

tial difference that while in the former case
there is merely Russia's individual opinion
against the United States. in the latter the judg-
ment of the United States against Russia Is re-
infOrced and confirmed by the explicit Judgment
of other nations Just about three years ago
an international conference of European powers
was held at Brussels TO consider the question of
abOlishing bounties on sugar. Great Britain,
Germany. Austria Hungary. Belgium Holland,
France and Russia were represented in it. The
first five named favored the entire abolition of
the bounty system. But the other two, France
bounty systems. They did not deny that they
paid bountiPS. In fact, they practically admit
ted it. And the unanimous Judgment of the
other five was that the Russian system, whether
ii be called rebate or what not, was in effect an
export bounty. That is the opinion now held by
the United States If this country errs, there
fore, and does Russia injustice. ii does so in
company with the majority of European pow
ers.
If the pronounced judgment of such gather
ingS as that which we have cited is not to be
taken into account or regarded as valid testi-
mony, then must reconsider the whole ten
dency of the times toward international arbitra-
ton The feeling has been growing that many
international disputes and differences are prop
erly to be settled by arbitration or, in advance
of arbitration. by friendly conference of the
powers concerned. Well here was just such
friendly conference, and the outcome of it, so
far as expression of opinion is concerned, was
unmstakable. Are to repudiate it and say

Comment is made upon the strange attitude
taken toward each other by Russia and the
United States, each of them assuming TO inter
pref the laws Of the other and each saving or
intimating that the other does not understa nd
its own laws This view of the situation Is
not quite correct. There is no record of this
governments having charged the Russian Gov
/ eminent with ignorance Of its own laws though
current and uncontradicted report has made
the Russian Ambassador impute TO the Ameri-
can Secretary of the Treasury either Ignorance
OF or misinterpretatiOn of the United States
tariH regulations. more accurate statement
of the case would be this-that each of the two
governments disagrees with the other concern

no such reference, and the sole indictment of
the United Siatess Interpretation and execu-
ton of the petroleum tariff law comes from the
Russian Government speaking as partial and
interested critic.

TEMPERAMENT AND TRADE.

Much popular interest Is manifested in the
development of trade with South America, as n
result of what The Tribune has been saying
upon the subject, and many comments, suggeS-
lions and discussions have been evoked. for
only a few OF which have we been able 10
make room in our columns. Practically they
are all 10 the same effect Our commercial
dellnqucnces are recognized. and there Is an
urgent desire that they shall be atOned for with
a judicious access of energy and enterprise
even at this late day. Various explanations of
our backwardness have been offered, all ring
ing the changes upon one dominant theme
that Americans have failed TO learn. at least
to practise, the fundamental principle of suc
cessful trade namely, that the seller must
strive 10 please the buyer. Demand comes be-
fore supply, and supply must be adapted 10 the
demand.
The questions Of credit end exchange have
been touched upon. They are OF radical I'M
pOrtanCe. ''MaIana is the South American
motto In business as we'll as otherwise. The
South American does not want to pay to-day
the bill which can be put off TIL tomorrow.
That may not accord with United States ideas,
though the credit system Is by no means I'M
known here. But it must be accepted as
necessity if we are TO have South American
merchants are TO suffer bad debts. The South
American buyer Will pay-to-norrow. And that
tomorrow will not always he tomorrow. but
will in due time become a solvent to-day. Dis
erection. tact and patience MI that are
needed. But they are imperatvely needed So.
too. with facilities for exchange. There Is little
use in trying TO conduct an extensive trade with
South America If II all has TO be financially
managed through European banks.
We are fond of playing the schoolmaSter,
we enterprising Yankees. But the successful
schoolmaster must himself be diligent student.
And he must, above all study his pupils, 80 as

and capacities. Let us teach the whole world.
