A RACE RIOT MORAL.
ARRESTS Should Fit the Crime and Not the
Color" Says Reader.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: desire TO express my appreciation for the
very able and impartial editorial IN The Tribune
to-day in regard to the recent race riots in this
city II is unfortunate that the Afro-American
people on account Of prejudice live in colonies the
respectful with the disrespectfuI 1t must be re
membered that ali races have their share OF I'm
moral and criminal persons.
II your excellent advice taken generally in
the matter Of Judging cOOred people by their in
dividual conduct and not by their color what a
great difference it would make in the so-calIed race
problem Certainly its solution would be much
nearer at hand All that has been asked by the
leading colored men and women is that the race be
judged as other races judged-that is. by their
individual conduct. character and worth When
we are asked about the French people We do not
TO the slums OF Paris New-YOrk for ma
terial to judge them by. but we at once think o.
the best Of the French people. Why do We not
apply the same method to AfrO-Americans?
OF the many shots fred last Friday night fully
twO-thirds OF them We're fired BY white persons i
assert that any who violates the law ought 70
be punished therefor But arrests and penalties
should mt the crime and not the color.

MERIT SYSTEM INDICATED
None Indicted in Postal Frauds Passed Civil
Service Examination
To tne Editor OF The Tribune.
l,ir. IN .u editorf,l ~ I,,I,, y

To tne Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; In editorial of July 10 you say:
MacheI and Beavers and their associates were
part of machine which operated under civil SER
rules. and some OF them may nave entered
the service by passing examinations but did they
carry out the merit system?
In its twentieth report the United states Civil
Service Commission referring TO indictments in the
Postof.ice Department said:
An inspection of he commsSion's records shows
thar none of those indicted entered the yergicc
through competitive examination. This should be
gratifying to the advocates OF the merit system
who hold that employees secured through fair. omen
competition are more likely TO have a greater de-
gree Of integrity, well efficiency. than en-
poyes appointed under the patronage system. The
one class of employees expect promotions only upon
merit and look forward 10 career IN the public
service. while the other class. appointed through
favor usually employ the same means I'm securing
promotions and important assignments. and thus
regarding their positions from the selfish stand
point OF personal gain. they cannot have the same
interest In their work the success of the ser
vice those appointed upon merit.

fish, meat. milk and other articles of food by a
process of decomposition that leaves little other
trace OF its action. Bacteria probably promote
their formation. but on that point there
mains some doubt. The taint develops in conse-
quence of a failure to cook the food properly
At this season the duty OF promptly reducing
the temperature of milk at the dairy farm from
which it is derived is often slighted. and a
result the fluid may come to market in what is
a dangerous condition. Consumers buy it with
out suspicion and when sickness is caused by
its use 1t is usually too late to trace the original
source and consequently impossible to fix the
responsibility

WATER FROM ESOPUS.

1t is gratifying to learn that the new City
Water Commission and the new State water
Commission are working harmOniously together
and keeping pace in the important undertaking
of increasing this city's water supply, so that,
In the opinion of Mayor Mcclellan, it may be
that actual construction work can be begun this
year.
1t is highly interesting to observe that the
Esopus watershed has practically been selected
as the source of the new supply. That was the
source from which the notorious Ramapo COM
pany proposed to get the supply for which it
was to charge this city so the 100000 gallons
Mr. John T.. Freeman, the well known civil en-
gineer, reported to the New-York Controller In
March, 1900, that the total cost OF supplying
water from Esopus would not be more than
$22 67 the 100000 gallons, leaving the Ramapo
company a profit of $9,466 a day on its 2OO,-
100000 gallons Of daily supply.
Mr.. Freeman also reported that the Esopus
Valley proper comprised only 24O square miles,
and could be depended upon to furnish not more
than 1OOOOO.O00 gallons a day. The additional
Weld which Ramapo looked for would have to
be secured by tunnelling into other adjacent
valleys so as to tap SchOharie Creek and Ba-
tavia Kill Thus as much as 250000,00O gallons
a day might be secured The sites for dams he
found of uncertain character, requiring very
careful and costly construction. The quality Of
the water is particularly fine, though during
spring freshets and after rains it is turbid with
the wash Of red clay.
Estimates by Mr. Freeman were for reser-
voirs of 10000, 100000 gallons storage capacity,
eleven miles of connecting tunnels and aque-
duets to New-York City partly steel tubes,
partly tunnel and partly cut and cover masonry
work. The total cost would be not less than
$40, 100000 and not more than S40940,0O0. The
supply would be 2OO,OO0,O00 gallons a day. The
cost for each 100000 gallons would be not
less than SIT u nor more than SD 67, or, with
d sinking fund to pay off the whole cost of con-
struction in forty years, not less than So 20
nor more than $50 OF.
Manifestly, any of these figures are vastly
preferable to the so of RamapO-excepting to
the Ramapo stockholders If Mr.. Freemans
estimates Of five years ago hold good in the
present enterprise the city may regard the new
works with entire satisfaction.

WHAT PT0MAIN.Es ARE,
Special Danger of Their Forming in Hot
Weather-Precautions

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue The Tribune printed the
following:
Fatal poisoning with ptomaines after eating ice
cream IS an all too common occurrence at ths time
of wear 1t results from somebody's failure promptly
10 cool the milk employed In the manufacture OF
that popular deicacy 1t is pity that IL is difficult
to fix the responsibility for such neglect upon the
proper person
As a constant reader of The Tribune should like
10 have explained the meaning of ''ptomaine
poisoning. 1 would also ask what is meant IN the
above article by somebody's carelessness in not
promptly cooling the milk"

Queer stories are told about the paralyzing
effect of electricity which is said to have es-
capped from the third rail of the Long Island
road on Tuesday. Complaints of this kind
should be investigated carefully by the railway
company, because it is possible that there has
been careless workmanship somewhere and the
statements which have been made may really be
true. Until they are fully verified, however,
they should be regarded with skepticism by the
public. No shock can be received by animals
or human beings unless they form connect
ing link between two electric conductors, one
being positively and the other negatively
charged. AS there is no third rail at any of the
street crossings on the Long Island road it is
hard to see how horse could touch it; and con-
tact with the traffic rails alone ought to be per-
fectly harmless To make any kind of short
circuit" possible it would be necessary for the
electricity TO escape from badly insulated third
rail and travel several rods along the earth. and
that the latter should be wet, not dry.
