CROTOY LAKE LAND DEALINGS

In yesterdays paper we commented upon the
negligence Of the AQueduct Commission in the
matter Of the railroad changes in the Croton
Lake basin, and the consequent imposition of
needless expense Of 100000 or more upon the
city. In the news columns Of the same issue OF
The Tribune appeared a statement Of the Mer-
chants Association concerning another piece
Of negligence-if nothing worse-on the part OF
the commission in the same region, resulting In
less but still considerable loss to the city.
More than six years ago the city, through the
Aqueduct Commission, acquired title to extern
sive lands needed for the enlargement Of Croton
Lake, among them the large dairy farms Of
Nelson Brothers, near Katonah, n. Y, for
which latter nearly 100000 was to be paid
Following the dilatOry, slovenly and costly prac-
tice which has been characteristic Of such opera
tons, however, the price was not at once paid.
1t has not in fact, been paid until the present
year. Under the law, however, the city has had
to pay interest at per cent on the purchase
price from the date OF taking title. So now it
has to pay to Nelson Brothers nearly $4,000
interest, in addition to the 100000 or nearly
that first named. 1t is, Of course only fair that
the Nelson's should have interest on the debt
so long due and unpaid. It is also obvious that
If the city had borrowed the money at per
cent as it could easily have done, and paid
them promptly at the uIne OF taxing uue, II
would have saved just half of what it now
has TO pay in interest By law, we believe, the
city is allowed to take title OF property needed
for immediate use, pending condemnation pro-
ceedings but there is no excuse for six years
delay in the proceedings and payment.
But that is not all. Since the city took title
to the farms in 1897 and has ever since been
paying 6 per cent interest on their value, It
certainly should have had possession, or at
least usufruct Of the land during these six
years. But it has not had it 1t has not got it
now The Nelson's have continued to occupy
the farms, and to conduct thereon their large
and profitable dairy business just as before,
without paying a dollar Of rental to the city
They have, we believe, paid the taxes on the
land, and kept the fences in repair, but IT really
is a wonder the AQueduct Commission did not
insist upon doing so for them. 1t is true the
Nelson's repurchased the buildings from the
city, and thus have had right to use them.
But they have kept them on the citys land
without paying for the privilege.
There is no occasion TO blame the Nelson's.
They are shrewd, practical, Straightforward
men Of business. who naturally would not neg
lect the opportunity of profit thus thrust upon
them by the city. Daudet told us Of a boy who
was so lazy that when a ripe fig fell upon his
cheek, as he lay beneath the tree, he called
TO his father TO put 1t into his mouth for him.
Westchester County farmers are not made Of
such stuff They take the good things that
come their way without hesitation or demur.
But what are we TO think Of the city off,

MORE DEATHS FROM FLOOD.

In such rapid succession have occurred fatal
cloudbursts during the last four or five weeks
and SO furious have been some of the local
showers which have been observed elsewhere in
tbs mean time, that 1t is natural to ask whether
or not the summer which has just opened has
not been more furious than was TO be expected.
Without carefully digested statistics, 1t would
be unsafe to adopt any such conclusion. Moth
ing is so characteristic Of weather as its real
and apparent eccentricities; and most peoples
memories are short
Perhaps a stronger case could be made out II
bne considered only the mortality which has
attended recent meteorological eccentricities
rather than their severity. One is not al
WAYS an exact measure Of the other. Whether
or not the country is suffering from worse
storms than those of past years, the death
list already numbers between six hundred
and seven hundred. By a single tornado near
Gainesville nearly a hundred lives were lost,
while at least forty persons have been killed
elsewhere by similar disturbances since ssaing
opened To the river floods in Kansas, Ills
souri, Iowa and Illinois is chargeable the drown
ing Of at least III men, women and children,
and probably more. For the cloudbursts at
Clifton S. c., and Heppner, Ore, 60 and 225
deaths are conservative estimates, and at pres
ent so does not seem an exravagant one for
OakfOrd Park. It is QouDuul whether uduy
previous years can show so lamentable record
for so short a period, although the JohnstOwn
food of 1889 involved a loss OF thousands Of
lives in q single day.
For the Oakford Park disaster it does not ap-
pear that anybody was 10 blame. Unless it
should prove that the dam which burst had
been known TO be defective, neither owners nor
designers could be held responsible. Engineers
in planning works of that class take into ac-
count the maximum rainfall Of the watershed,
but must rely upon records, not guesswcrk.
The chances are many thousands TO one that no
cloudburst ever visited any particular region
for which such computations have hitherto been
made and they are equally slim that it will be
so afflicted in the future. A deluge like the one
near Jeanette, Penn, on Sunday could not
have been foreseen, and it would have been a
wasteful use OF material and money TO attempt
20 provide against contingency Of that sort
The reservoir may have been full, or nearly so,
before the cIoudburst yet unless signs OF weak
ness had been discovered it would have been
foolish 10 draw down an accumulation which

II. LOUBET IN ENGLAND.

NJ. Loubet's visit to England, which was au-
spiciously begun yesterday, is a significant and
important incident 1t Is historically interest
ing as the first visit ever made to England by
a French President But it's practical, political
and diplomatic interest is far greater. Our Lon
don correspondent has already pointed out
much Of its significance It is bit Of diplomacy
with which King Edward himself is to be cred
tied, and it is a likely harbinger of far-reach-
ing diplomatic changes, or at least the devel-
opment and exertiOn Of influences, among the
great powers of Europe.
The fact seems to be that King Edward and
his advisers have set out to establish more cor
dial relations between Great Britain and the
French Republic. This fact is SO generally rec
ognzed, and the Importance of it is so much
appreciated, that strong efforts have been made
to prevent in one way or another, the visit of
NJ. Loubet to England. Such efforts have been
made by those who regard it as to their polit-
ical advantage to keep France and England
apart. Happily, they have failed. The visit is
being made, is the happiest of circumstances
and promises to have its anticipated effect
1t may seem strange TO Americans that such
a visit should be invested with so much inter
national Importance. But we must remember
that the European conception of the functions
of the Chief of State is quite different from our
own. One visit by a monarch or president
amounts TO more than a years work of an
ambassador We can remember the furor Of
delight with which France hailed the first ex-
change Of visits between her President and the
Russian Czar. That one personal episode af-
fected the popular Imagination more strongly
and more strongly turned French sentiment
toward Russia than all the treaties and alli-
ances the ambassadors could have made in
years. 1t will not be surprising if this visit ~
England shall in measurable degree cause

cials and especially of the Aqueduct Commits
sion, who permitted such things to be? Ac-
cOrding to one report, the Corporation Counsel
did try to take actual possession of the city's
property, or to collect rental from those who
were occupying and using it. But it was IN
vain. His efforts were blocked by the Aque-
duct Commission itself, by the very men who
ought to have aided him to the extent of their
ability.
Truly, New-York is a fine party 10 sell land
to- for it not only pays you good price for It.
with heavy interest until the price IS paid put
it also lets you go right on occupying, using ana
prOfting from the land just the same as De-
fore There is an old saying that you cannot
eat your cake and have it, too. But it is quite
evident that men can sell their land and nave
it, too-when they sell it to this city through
the Aqueduct Commission. And to think that
that commission is responsible for the water
supply of these boroughs of Manhattan ana

NOT AT HIS BEST.

AS we have often remarked, Mr.. Cleveland
possesses the faculty of bestowing his epistolary
fluctuations upon political gathering ID man
ner Of which the recipients lind it hard to COM
plain, without inconveniently committing him
self to anything in particular. 1t should not be
considered disrespectful to the eX-President to
say that his Fourth Of July letter to Tammany
Hall is not his greatest success in that line 1t
contained this paragraph:
The Tammany Society, as a political organiza-
ton of vast influence cannot escape the
sponsibility which it's power and its glorious
traditions create. AS in the past, it should con-
tinue to advocate the rights of the people, and
as it celebrates Independence Day again 1t
should renew Its deteTm1natl0n 10 serve ths
people well by contributing all its power and
influence to the cause of good government
Tammany has no reason to find fault with
that eulogistic admoniCion, but how about the
rest of the public, including, if we may venture
to say So Mr.. Cleveland himself? Are Tam
many's traditions really glorious? Isn't the ad-
jective rather too big for any period in the his
tory Of the organization and an extraordinary
misft at this time? "As III the past it should
continue to advocate the rights Of the people"
What is the use of Tammany's advocating the
rights of the people only to cheat the people of
their rights whenever it gets the chance and
bestow illicit favors on a ring of favoriteS? Mr.
Cleveland can hardly approve of adding insult
to injury 1T should renew its determination
ito serve the people well by contributing all its
power and influence to the cause of good gov
'ernment." Having never had that determina-
ton Tammany cannot possibly renew it With
most political organizations such a high resolve
would be at least conceivable, and we shrink
from denying that while the lamp holds out to
burn the vilest sinner may return. But the
word renew" was an unfortunate choice. 1t
conveys an ironical suggestion altogether for
eign, we must assume, TO the writer's purpose
In this species Of composition Mr.. Cleveland is
an expert; but Homer mods, and the same privi-
lege, If he desires to claim it, must be conceded

GOVERNOR rAFTS FIRST MESSAGE.

Not the least noteworthy feature of the open
ing of the telegraphic cable across the Pacinc
was a passage in Governor Tafts reply to
President Roosevelts dispatch The passage Is
worthy of reproduction here, of remembrance
and of earnest action:
1t is not inappropriate to incorporate in this,
the first message across the Pacific from the
Philippines to America, earnest plea for the
reduction of the tariff on Filipino prouucts IN IN
accordance with the broad and liberal spirit
which the American people desire to manifest
toward the FiliDinOS, and OF which you nave
been earnest exponent.
No, 1t was not inappropriate. On the contrary,
nothing could have been more appropriate 1t
was fine thing to complete cable across the
Pacific though it was only the second and not
the first one laid 1t was a fine thing to COM
plete with an American cable another tele-
graphic circuit of the globe, though that, too,
had been done by another cable months before.
Much better was it to complete the connection
of the United States with its furthest outlying
possessions by. means of a purely American
cable. But we are inclined to give highest and
noblest rank to the circumstance that the earli-
est practical use Of that cable, in the first mes
sage ever received over it in this country, was
that fine appeal for just and generous dealings
with our insular dependents. 1t was quite
characteristic of the admirable spirit with
which Governor Taft has all along addressed
himself to his arduous work in the Philippines.
1t is most auspicious as an earnest Of the use
he is likely to make of his new line of COM
munication with the government at Washing
