entertain but little hope of success. The

EERURRAN SANITATION.

A letter from Mr. John Y. Culyer, which we
print elsewhere in to-day's paper calls atten-
ton to a general principle which cannot be too
often or too strongly emphasized, and urges a
practical application of it in a case where 1t
seems to be much needed. The general princi-
pie Is that a good water supply and efficient
sewerage are of paramount Importance to every
community. Nobody, we suppose, will dispute
that 1t is automatic. Yet aXioms are, OF all
things, most diSregarded by the thOughtless
1t is well, therefore, TO restate this principle,
and to add to it this that these two essential
desderata should-indeed, must-be kept en-
tirely apart. They must exist side by side, but
the barrier between them must be impervious.
To that end we shall do we'll to adopt the
dictum of a contemporary sanitary engineer
in England, that running streams are to be
regarded as sources of water supply and not
as means for the disposal Of sewage; they are
to water the community. not TO drain it.
The practical application of this salutary
principle which Mr.. Culyer urges is for the
benefit of Mount Kisco and other populous
villages in upper Westchester County, and also
of New-York City itself Those villages have
a good natural water supply and some Of them
contribute much to New-York's supply. But
natural" sewerage is Incompatible with the
purity of the water. wherefore an artificial
indeed dispose of its sewage by pouring it
into the brook, and still get a pure water
supply from other sources. But New-York for
bids that wanting the water Of the brook for
its own uses. So the village is denied all
natural" sewerage, for New-Yorks sake;
wherefore must agree with MIR. Culyer in
thinking that New-York is fundamentally re-
sponsible for the situation and for the solution
of the problem which it involves. Briefly stated,
the situation is that Mount Kisco is devoid Of
proper sewerage, and that in consequence con-
dtions exist which threaten not only local pes
thence but also grave contamination of New
YOrk's water supply.
Mr. Culyer proposes a radical solution of the
problem A great trunk sewer, to drain the
valley of The Bronx, is to be constructed from
White Plains to the East River. He would
have it extended northward to Mount Kisco, to
drain that village and those between it and
White Plains The proposal will, perhaps
startle the people Of those communities. but it
Is sometimes a good thing to be startled. espe
caly when lethargic conditions prevail In all
that region there is much need of sanitary i'm
provement in the direction of protecting the
water supply from pollution and providing
efficient sewerage Only thus can those vii
lagos be made and kept as healthful as they
are in other respects attractive MIR. Culyer's
plan is unquestonably practicable from an
engineering and from financial point of view
and would, doubtless, be effective. Whether
any one can suggest a better plan remains to
be seen. What is certain is that some plan
of suburban sanitation should be adopted and
put into operation there at the earliest possible
date

GOOD NEWS FROM PANAMA.

Commissioner ShOnts's interview on his arrival
here contains eminently satisfactory news from
Panama. 1t exactly confirms, as our readers
will observe, the account of isthmian affairs
given ten days ago by our staff correspondent,
especially concerning the precedence which is
being given to sanitary work over construction
work and concerning the arrangements for the
food supply for the workmen in the zone These
features of the situation are commendable, and
their adoption reflects much credit upon the
discretion of Governor Magoon, Commissioner
Shonts and their associates.
Satisfactory, too, is the report concerning the
yellow fever. New-Orleans shows us in tragic
fashion how difficult a problem the eXtirpation
of that plague is. If it is difficult in such city
as that what must it be amid the jungles and
in the primitive conditions of the isthmus? Yet
Panama to-day is shaming NewOrleans, and is
giving us confident promise that in another year
e vomito will be as scarce on the isthmus as
are snakes in Iceland.
The transportation question is one with which
Mr.. Shonts is exceptionally we'll fitted to deal,
and we must accept his assurance that the eX-
listing railroad is capable of handling all the
business offered if only it is properly managed.
We know there has been almost intolerable
congestion of traffic there at times to the in
fury of trade and the discredit of the railroad
management. If by improved schedules and
enlarged dock facilities Mr.. ShontS can relieve
those conditions and prevent their recurrence
he will be doing a much needed work. If with
all such changes a double tracking of the little
railroad still seems necessary, we have no
doubt that will be done The disposition Of the
Canal Commissioners and their actual achieve
ments in the last few weeks are Indicative of
practical policy that must assure success.

When the fraud was discovered, Edward T
