And every decent creature slept
For the gray of dawn hao scarcely crept

Amid the silence there may be heard
The drowsy chirp of the Early Bird

or sudden appears TO squirml
Aud there comes from under his very
feet
faint fine sound that can't repeat
The voice OF the Early Worm
And the glade is stiler than still can be,

4 RESERVOIR "REMINISCENCES.

There lies before us 4 newspaper clipping OF
nearly nine years ago. To be precise, us uate
is January .. 1895 1t tells Of the acquisition OF
nearly three hundred acres Of land at Jerome
Park by New-York City for new Croton water
reservoir. In the head lines it is stated that
the reservoir Will be completed about the end
Of the century, meaning we assume the nine
teenth century, then still six years from us emu.
The article tells that the work was TO be begun
at once The preliminary steps Lad ALREADY
been taken Bids for actual construction would
be secured within the month, and the success
full bidder would be required TO complete the
Job within five years.
within five years! The five years are now
past and gone and nearly four years more TO
boot. But the reservoir? Still unfinished, ana
still far from finished, and. instead of enjoying
its use the city is now considering tedious
inquest into its stability and fitness for use 1t
was to be completed "about the end OF the cen
fury" But we are OF the end OF the thlru
year OF the new century, and it is still far from
completion; and he would be a rash and vision
airy man who should predict with confidence IT'S
completion in another year, or in two or three
more years. Yet when this scrap OF paper be-
fore Us was printed there were doubtless many
readers who expected its prophecy to be fui-
filed, and, indeed. there seemed TO be no reason
why it should not be fulfilled.
The same article Of nine years ago contains
also n promise Of the completion of the new
Croton dam about the end Of the century.
promise made by no less an authority than the
chief engineer Of that work. Yet to-day, with
the end of that century three years past, that
dam is still unfinished. 1t is probably still sew
eraI years from completion. For many months
past the question of chief interest concerning 1t
has been to what extent the work already done
has been we'll done. and to what extent it must
be taken down and rebuilt The city has al
ready paid far more than It should have paid
for all these various works, and II is suffering
and has long been suffering for lack of them
Yet they remain Undone and unavailable and
the only hope offered IS that at some time IN
the indefinite future they may be done and may
prove satisfactory and substantial.
We are not assuming TO fix the blame. Courts,
commissioners and contractors may all have
done their hest. We do not know. But this we
do know-that elsewhere public works of SINH
lar character and magnitude have been thor
oughly completed in less than half the time
these have thus far taken; and We know that
for works Of so urgent Importance to be de-
layed and dalicd with these have been is
nothing less than n public scandal and an I'M
parchment OF the executive and administrative
ability OF this municipality.

THE IRISH OTTLOOK.

The outlook in Irish affairs certainly seems
favorable. The new land law Of last year is
working well and iustifying the most sanguine
expectations The movement for fiscal reform
and for sweeping away that free trade system
which has been such curse TO Ireland is arous-
ing much sympathy and support among thought
ful Irishmen, though led by the man whom
they once regarded as their arch enemy. Now
il is announced that the King and Queen will
spend some time in Ireland this year, and there
is much promise that they will lee received
with cordiality and enthusiasm
This month. moreover, the first dinner of the
Ireland Club will be held in London. with the
president OF the club the Duke of Connaugbt,
in the chair. How significant an incident that
viii be may be perceived through inspection OF
the roster Of the club. The Kings brother is
president Among the vice-presdents are the
Protestant Episcopal Primate of Ireland, the
Roman Catholic Primate Of Ireland and the
Presbyterian Moderator OF Ireland. Mr.. Herbert
Gladstone and Lord George Hamilton, the Lord
Mayor Of Cork and the Chief Secretary for
Ireland the Earl of Dudley and Lord Justice
Mathew. the Earl of Londonderry and Sir Hor-
ace Plunkett Lord Charles Peresford IS chair
man OF the executive committed and among
the charter members are Sir Thomas Upton,
Mr.. Bourke Cochran, Lord Iveagh and the Duke
or Manchester. When such men, representing
such varied shades Of political opinion. unite
in 4 club for educational purposes and for pro-
noting the prosperity of Ireland and relations
OF good will between Ireland and Great Britain,
the result must be for good.
The fact is. as we have hitherto pointed ont
there is better opportunity now than at any
other time for a century past OF establish
ing harmony and confidence. if not indeed
actual affection, between Ireland and Great
Britain, and Of developing the welfare and the
wealth OF what has too long been "most dis
tressful country" 1t is also the most hopeful
opportunity Of the century, since Irshmen and
Englishmen alike seem earnestly inclined TO
improve It. The tone OF sweet reasonable
ness" that is to be heard on both sides
would have seemed preposterously impossible
in the stormy days of Gladstonian coercion.
But Il IS real and II is dominant and we may
with much assurance expect that It will be
maintained and will prevail.

FOR 4 STUDY OF SHIPPING PROBLEMS.
One Of the objects dear to the heart Of all
patriotic Americans is the restoration Of our
merchant marine TO the proud position in the
commerce Of the world that it held before the
Civil War Many plans have been proposed TO
secure this from the free admission of foreign
built ships to American registry 10 the estao-
Mshment of vast schemes for subsidy. 1t has
so far, however been impossible TO secure an
agreement OF Congress or Of the public senu-
ment of the country on any measure or relief
When the Payne Hanna bill failed to become q
law in the last Congress- after passing the Sen
ate at the beginning Of the long session, little
prospect remained OF doing anything practical
while the present differences Of opinion among
the real friends Of shipping existed. There is
need OF a better understanding all around OF
the various elements OF the problem. Accord
ingly. in his annual message, while strongly IA
voring encoura cement OF the merchant marine,
President Roosevelt forbore to recommend any
renewal Of attempt at subsidy legislation. but
suggested i commission to study the whole sub
ject and make Il report on the best means Of
increasing our shipping.
Following out that suggestion. Representative
Gardner, Of Massachusetts, has introduced n
bill 10 create such n commission. This body is
10 consist OF the Secretary of the Navy. the
Postmaster General the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor the chairmen of the Senate Commit
tee on Commerce and the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries. and three Sen
ators and three Representatives. Two mem
bers Of the commission from each house must
be Democrats For tina necessary expenses Of
the commission n sum not exceeding $4,000 is
appropriated, and # is empowered to send for
persons and papers and make all needful in
vestigations. Such body would be in position
to make n report to the next Congress which
would command the confidence of the country
and be a foundation for sound and conservative
legislation.
There can be no question about the worth OF
a merchant marine. The question Is how 10 Sc
cure one A plunge into large subsidy pay
ments is not relished by many firm Republicans.
and even If they are convinced that 10 other
course meets the situation there is agree
ment as to the best methods Of subsidy. It is
almost Impossible for the impartial student TO
reach any solid basis Of judgment these
points. The commission should furnish this
and enable Congress 10 take up the subject
after the next election with a fair chance Of
reaching n satisfactory solution of the problem
Neither those who favor nor those who oppose
subsidies have any reason 10 object to better
information.
