some Of the municipal authorities either denied
our statements or deprecated our agitation of
the matter as uncalled for. If not impertinent
and calculated to do more harm than good.
But the Commissioners report is ample dem
onstration of the correctness of our representa-
tons, and the Commissioner himself bears gen.
erous witness to the benefcent effects of the
public agitation of the matter.
Now, we do not hesitate to say that admra-
bic as they are, the results already attained are
only an earnest of what may be done if the
same policy is pursued to its legitimate conclu-
sion. This saving of 16,500,00O gallons a day has
been effected not by any general and radical re-
organization OF the system Of water distribu-
ton, but-nOt to speak slightingly-by merely
tnkering it little here and there in the worst
spots. There has been no general overhauling
OF plumbing. though large proportion of the
plumbing of this city is disgracefully bad.
There has been no extensive relaying of sound
mains in place of those which have been
broken by blasting. rusted out with age or dlsin-
tegrated by elecrrolysis. There has of course
been no considerable introduction of meters We
believe, and we have expert and authoritative
basis for the belief that it would be possible to
reduce the daily waSte-not use but waste-of
water not merely by the 16,500OO0 gallons
which the commissioner has saved, but by four
or five times that amount. We repeat it, that
100000 gallons daily might he saved without
by single drop stinting the legitimate use of
water, and this city would still he one of the
most plenteous users of water in the world.

candidates IL put in office shall not use once
TO serve outside political purposes hepuDhcans'
If they consented, for instance, TO Mr.. Grout or
Mr.. Jerome. might reasonably wish assurance
that after they had given their votes to do either
honor he should not use his capital as reform
official TO run on a Democratic State ticket and
carry the election for that party. Democrats IN
turn have & right to ask corresponding assur-
ance from any Republican whom they might
support Certainly they have had no reason to
complain that Mayor Low has attempted to use
his office in Republican State or national poll
tics. The heads of most of his departments are
Democrats. and his relations with the Republl-
can State government like those Of Controller
Grout. have been entirely confined to getting for
the CITY what it needed from the State. Both
have been eminently successful in that sphere,
while the city government under the reform
administration, cannot be said to have eXer-
cised any influence on State politics In the
last election the natural Democratic vote on a
party issue was as strong here as II Democrat
had been in the Mayors chair. That is true
municipal non-partisanship. Officials VIII al
ways have their party preferences, but II they
administer their offices, avoiding use OF local
power for general party ends, as faithfully as
Mayor Low has done it can make no difference
whether they are Democrats or Republicans.
In entering the next campaign let the same
ideal be kept in mind, and the candidates Sc
lected solely with a view TO the administration
of the city's business. Let thoughts about get
ting preference for Republicans or Democrats
be put aside and kept aside.

the ancient feud between Genoa and Venice.
Those cities are no longer rival republics, but
they are the rival ports of Northern Italy, and,
as all the canal and river systems are and will
be tributary to Venice, and not at all to Genoa,
the Genoese and their Ligurian neighbors are
bitterly opposing the projected improvements,
as, of course, the private railroad interests are
also doing
The probability is, however, that these italian
canal plans will be executed. In that case
Milan, Turin and Bologna will become shipping
ports. The Italian system will also, by means OF
the Stella Como and Ausca rivers, be connected
with the Austro-Hungarian system, as the latter
will in turn be with that of Germany. The three
countries of the Triple Alliance will thus be
united by bonds of internal navigation, and the
North Sea, the Baltic, the Black Sea and the
Adriatic will all be linked, each one with each
and every other, by inland waterways. With
such programme moving swiftly toward con-
summation, it is not too much to describe the
present time as an era of canals-at least in
some of the most progressive and enlightened
countries of the world.

GOOD WORK IN WATER.

That is highly gratifying report which the
Water Commissioner has made concerning the
abatement of leakage and waste in this CITY
The hitherto prevailing rate of increase would
have made the present daily consumption of
water 100000 gallons more than it was
year ago. 1t is actually 100000 gallons less
There is thus a saving of 100000 gallons q
day, which means so much more warding off of
the danger Of scarcity and so much additional
pressure In the service pipes; and the beauty
OF 1t is that this has been done without lessen
Ing by single drop the legitimate use of water
Indeed, as we have said. it has made the water
supply more freely available by increasing the
pressure. From every point of view il is a
praiseworthy achievement.
We feel entitled to say that the matter is ne
culiarly gratifying to us because of the leader
ship and persistence of this paper in the cam.

have been insisting in these columns that an I'M

such waste is as urgent as that of seeking new
