TBs BR0oK1yy WATEB SUPPLY.

The letting Of contracts for the rebuilding and
improvement of various parts of the Brooklyn
water supply works will be regarded with q GER
tain languid satisfaction by the interested pub
lie. The improvements to be made will not be
in time to afford the slightest relief to this
years shortage and year hence, when they
will or may come into use. the needs Of the
borough will have so greatly increased that the
situation will be no better than it is now. That
is the fashion in which supply has from time
immemorial Jagged long after need Still, it is
we'll to repair the pumping stations and other
works so as to minimize the danger, which at
times has been acute, of their colapsing,
1t is not to be supposed that any considerable
increase of supply will result from the large
expenditures which are now to be made. The
fact is that Brooklyn is already getting about
all the water it can expect to get from the area
at its disposal and it is by law restrained from
enlarging the area of supply. If it were per-
mitted to go into the central and eastern parts
Of Long Island for water it could get enough for
its amplest needs for a hundred years to come,
and it would be water such as Brooklyn water
used to be, of the very purest and sweetest quail
ity. Moreover, it could do so without injury to
the people of the island and their agricultural,
horticultural, piscatOrial and other industries.
There are, we know, those who imagine, who
affect to imagine, that the taking of water from
Su1OIk county for city use would lmmedlately
reduce that region to the condition of the Mo-
jave Desert in a drOuth We cannot sympathize
with their apprehensions. There is excellent au-
thority for believing that under a proper sys-
tenn Brooklyn's entire supply could be taken
from Suffolk County without any perceptible
diminution of the local supply
AS, however, the prohibitory law stands, and
seems likely to stand, Brooklyn will probably
have to worry along on the ragged edge of
threatened famine and actual typhoid outbreaks
until the new Water Commission can push to
completion the works it is planning in the Cats
kill region and can utilize that fine supply for
Brooklyn as we'll as for Manhattan and The
Bronx. The plight of Brooklyn is potent argu-
ment for all possible expedition in that enter
prise compatible with thorough and enduring
construction.

THE ZIONIST CONGRESS-.

The Seventh Zionist Congress is now in ses-
sion at Basle, and when it adj0urns the Jew
ish State" for the creation Of which the or
ganizatiOn was called into existence, will still
be dream. Representatives from all parts of
the world are in attendance, and they have
dlseussedy-at times in a rather unparliamen-
tary way, the various schemes for the establish
ment OF the State and the colonization plans
leading TO that end. When the gavel falls on
the closing session and the delegates disperse
there will probably be none to whom the pict-
ure of State in Palestine where the expatri
ated Jew can take refuge and claim citizenship
will be less nebulOus than it was on the day
when the pioneer ZiOnists cOnjured it up.
At former meetings the genius the magnet
ism and the enthusiasm of Dr. Theodor Herzl
did much toward furthering the cause which
his leadership dignifed. DR.. Max NOrdau, who
has presided over the deliberations of the sew
enth congress, does not possess the qualities
of leadership which made HerZl powerful, and
when the novelist assumed the duties of presi-
dent of the congress the words were recalled
of one of Herzls eulogists. who said, after COM
pairing him with John Brown: THE soul of
"HerZl will also march on and be an inspira-
"tion to those who battle for justice for the
Jew, yet those who follow the phantom in
"the expectation that it will lead them to
disappointment at the end"
The seventh congress has had to decide
whether Zionism meant State in Palestine or
a colony in British Africa. On one side were
arrayed the dreamers and the enthusiasts, to
whom the State in Asia Minor despite all
obstacles, was still possibility. On the other
side were the delegates under the leadership
of Israel Zangwill, who took all the romance
out of the question by saying: "Zionism is busi-
ness, not poetry" The Zangwill party was
beaten, the offer of the Uganda strip by the
British government was rejected and the victo-
rious delegates, those who still turn their eyes
toward the Holy Land, exchanged the saluta-
ton: Next year in Palestine"
But poetry and business will be alike fruit
less" said writer who has made Zionism
study. There will be no Jewish State. either
lin Asia Minor or in Africa, and the Jew will
continue to be a citizen not Of one little State
"in remote corner Of the globe. but of the
world"

PASSING OF THE HoRsECAR,

Ablaze with Roman candles and braYey deco
rated, the last horsecar of the old Grand-st.
line followed the well worn tracks in the
early dawn Of yesterday morning to their ter
minus and thence TO the junk heap. The
work Of tearing up the tracks was promptly
begun, and when next a streetcar moves along
Grand-st it will be propelled by electricity. The
usual jibe about horsecars in NeW-YOrk will
now promptly appear in all the papers of the
smaller cities of the United States. and New
York is we'll content to have it so. The city
which has the fastest and the latest means of
rapid transit at its command can well afford to
smile at jests at its hOrSecars as survivals of
earlier age, though the last horsecar
Grand-st. was by no means so ancient some
of the jokes about it, which have authenticated
pedigrees stretching back to the time whereof
no mans memory runs to the contrary.
In reality not q few New Workers will be rather
saddened when the time comes for the passing
of the last hOrsecar. Father KnickcrbOcker him
self though always adapting his means of loco
motion to his necessities, will heave a sigh as he
thinks of the leisurely days which the horsecar
may now he said to represent-days when the
current of life moved a a slower pace. In that
era men did not live fast, but many of them
lived longer and enjoyed life instead of rushing
through it 10y express. Back in the COS when
the old Grandst. horsecars were young, go
ing downtown" was a lesurely affair COM
pared with the present schedule OF fifteen min
utes to Harlem" Men who touched elbows in
an hours journey twice every day got to know
one another and to take an interest in one an
others health and affairs. AS DR. Campbell
Morgan said in his sermon last Sunday men
must dwell for a time in Nazareth or some
other small town in order to know men, In the
same way passengers Oh the odtime horsecars
got TO feel the bond of common sympathies.
To-day the passenger in the elevated or sub
way express has neither time nor inclination to
concern himself about his neighbors in the ear
except to see that they do not crowd him too
much or get in his way as he rushes to get or
1t was not SO in the days when the Vauxhau
Gardens were in bloom, or when trees lined the
sides of lower Broadway; but those days have
passed, and now the last reminder of them-the
horsecar-is passing. When New -York's last
horsecar does, in the near future, finally disap-
pear the occasion might htly be commemorated.

before complying with call for assistance. 1t
is to be observed, nevertheless, that Surgeon
General Wyman has politely declined the oner
to put under his control (and hence under the
United States fiag) some of the little craft to
which unlawful proceedings have been imputed.
If the duty of guarding the country against
the Introduction of diseases like yellow fever
from abroad had been imposed on the federal
government exclusively at the time when the
Constitution was adopted, such complication as
that which has just arisen in the South Woulo
be avoided. Yet a transfer of the obllgauon
now is hardly to be desired. Epidemics In the
United States more frequently result from do
mestic outbreaks than from the importation or
disease germs. There is greater need of pro-
lection from danger within than from danger
without The quarantine function is, after all,
mainly a local matter; and it may we'll remain
So If the States require any help from the ma
tional authorities they can always secure it on
short notice

MAKERS OF PEACE.

The arrival of Mr.. Witte completes the COM
pany, or, rather, for the present, the two COM
panieS, of peace plenipOtentaries who are pres
emily to meet at Portsmouth for the ending of
the unhappy conflict between Russia and Japan
All the four gentlemen are to be regarded with
respectful and cordial hospitality for their per-
sOnal sake, for they are statesmen of high char
acter and distinguished attainments and ser
vices; and they are also to be welcomed as rep
resentatives of two great nations with each OF
which the United States has long sustained
friendly and agreeable relations. Beyond these
two reasons there is another of peculiar force
and interest, arising out of the special circuln-
stances Of the present occasion, which should
command for these ENJOYS, upon the part Of the
American nation in public and in private, a
sympathetic and benevolent attitude.
That is that they are here as makers of peace
We have had distinguished visitors before, and
we have had eminent representatives of both
Russia and Japan, but America has not hitherto
been the scene Of peacemaking negotiations be-
tween two great foreign powers We cannot
avoid recalling, by way Of contrast with exist
ing facts, the doleful vaccinations Of some per-
sons, both here and abroad, only a few years
ago, to the effect that our role as world
power" (Which this country really assumed more
than century ago. and our entry into world
politics" (Which was also effected in the eigh-
teenth century, would not only involve us in
trouble but would make America a general
tronbler of the nations TO be regarded no longer
with confidence the disnterested friend of
all, but with suspicion a participant i'm Old
World intrgues and antagonisms, and therefore
as at least the potential enemy of all. Now the
fact is that it is not merely in spite of but act
ually because Of the expansion and the "ag-
gressiFe policies of recent years that this coun-
try is enabled to do the beneficent thing it is
doing. Had it not been for our acts in and
toward Asia in the last seven years we should
not have been able to exert so much influence.
at first for circumscripton Of the war and at
last for its termination.
In a certain sense, therefore, the coming Of
these peace ENJOYS is vindication of American
policies, fact upon which it is not immodest
to dwell. Still more agreeable is it, however
to emphasize the fact that.-as we must believe
this is really TO be a peace conference which
will result in the making of a satisfactory
treaty. There has been much talk to the con
trary. 1t has been said that these envoys were
mere messengers TO find out whether there was
a possibility Of peace, and, again, that the terms
which one party had decided upon were abso-
Iutely intolerable TO the other. Such rumors
were not unnatural. but they none the less seem
New-York tribune., 1905-08-03
THE QUARANTINE TANGLE.

Judicially disposed persons who read the story
of the clash between the authorities OF Missis-
sppi and Louisiana will find their sympathies
divided. Up 10 a certain point, no doubt, Gov
ernor Vardaman is in the right. He was war
ranted In seeking to exclude from his own State
the pest which had broken out in the one ad-
joining it; and patrol on the water is as legiti-
mate as a patrol land. Special bitterness,
too, would naturally be lent to the spirit that
animated his campaign by the unquestionabe
fact that the Louisiana authorities had been
culpably careless.
There are territorial limits, however, beyond
which Governor Vardaman and his agents are
not privileged 10 90. Lake Pontchartran lies
entirely within the State of Louisiana, and so
does the entrance to 1.-THE Rigolets. If, as is
alleged, fishermen have been captured in either
OF those localities there has been an invasion Of
the territory and Of the prerogatives OF Louis
iana which Governor Blanchard is justified in
resenting. Lake Borgne is an indentation of the
coast, and along its central line, from its head
out 10 the Gulf of Mexico, extends the boundary
between the two States. 1t is asserted that Gov
ernor Vardaman's patrol boats have operated
not only Oh his side of this line, but also on the
other. IL the complaints made to Governor
Blanchard are correct, acts have been committed
for which a parallel would be afforded if Con-
necticut sent boats 10 Flushing or oyster Bay
and made arrests. Whether the orders which
led to these mistakes We're specific or only gen.
eral, Mississippi must take the responsibility.
Perhaps Governor Eardaman cannot quickly be
convinced that there has yet been any irregu-
lsrity and in the present state OF I'll feeling he
may be unEeasonably skeptieal about the past
His attention once having been called to the
matter, however, he would be utterly without
excuse if there should be a repetition Of the Of
fences.
1t does not appear that the national govern
ment has yet done anything TO be regretted.
Under the authority given by Congress to CO.
operate with the States IN the suppression of
contagious diseases. the Marine Hospital Service
properly responded TO the request Of the Mis-
sissippi patrol boats TO transfer the persons
whom they had captured TO Ship Island. The
revenue cutter Winona, which had been put at
the disposal of Surgeon General Wyman, has
apparentIy made no arrests on its own account,
and IT'S officers would hardly be justified In
stopping to inquire into the legitimacy of the
~ots OF Governor Yardaman's representatives,
