FJLTERTyG yEW-YORK WATER.

DIR. Darlington's letter 10 the Mayor formally
recommending provision for the filtration of the
city water marks a notable stage i'm the history
of sanitation in the metropolis Other Health
Commissioners here have considered the need of
such a safeguard and have experienced secret
uneasiness about the future. but. balancing one
consideration against another. have refrained
from making n definite proposition like this
When so sensible man as the present Com
missioner does il. therefore the subject assumes
a new Importance. No one regards DR. Darling
ton alarmist, and the disinterestedness of
his motives has never been called into question
Indeed. he voices a conviction that has been
gaining strength i'm other minds for years and
little doubt can now remain about the expedi-
ency of adopting the policy which he urges upon
the Mayors attention.
Until recently almost the only fault to he
found with the CrOtOn water related TO its dis
celebration after a ranstorm Offensive as the
fluid was i'm appearance there was no reason TO
anticipate any danger. Filtration undoubtedly
would remove most of the impurity which is
visible 10 the eye; but whether the city should
incur the necessary expense for that purpose
alone is open to question. The main cOnsidera-
ton which dictates the establishment of filters
is the peril to which the public health NAV In
the near future be exposed. Hitherto New-York
City has enjoyed "a remarkable immunity from
typhoid fever and diarrhpal diseases Ii has
been thus fortunate because il has controlled
the watershed from which its supply was de
rived, and thus had the power 10 prevent con
taminatiOn. How shOckingly careless the au-
thorities have been in the exercise OF this func-
ton. however. every careful reader of The
Tribune must he well aware. Time and time
again trespassers have by violations of the law
endangered the purity of the streams OF the
Croton basin; ami, what is far more outrageous.
their offences have been ignored or tolerated by
officials whose duty IL Is 10 prevent them.
The hOpelessness Of the fight against such
disgraceful neglect makes il more and more OBJ
vious that the city must, sooner or later. resort
10 the safeguards which are In such common
and successful use elsewhere. IL is a marvel
that the metropolis has thus far escaped an cpl
demic transcending the one that Ithaca expert

menace TO Germany. or that she expects to have
any trouble with that empire. But she realizes
that Germany has become, or is becoming, the
second naval power of Europe, and so the very
same considerations that led her formerly to
array her fleets opposite the French coasts now
impel her to place them, fronting toward the
coasts of Germany. II is not menace. 1t Is
prudence. 1adeed. II is only just TO herself
aud TO other powers that Britain's naval bases
should be more widely distributed than they
have been. Chatham and Sheerness look out
upon the Low Countries and upon the extreme
north of France. Portsmouth and Davenport
look upon France alone Pembroke. too. Is
nearer TO France than to any other foreign
land. Why should ell the naval strength of
the United Kingdom be masSed along the south
en coasts. though France the only
conceivable source of danger? II is only rea-
sOnable that there should be another base on
that northeastern coast which fronts toward the
coasts not only of one, but of five maritime
powers.

ST. UARY'S CANAL

The value of canals is strikingly illustrated
by the volume of the commerce which annual
~ passes through the short ship canal around
the falls in the st. Mary's River at Sault Ste
Marie, Mich. The fiftieth anniversary of the
opening of a canal at this point is to be appro-
priately celebrated at Sault Ste Marie this
week. AS is stated in an article in another
part Of The TaLme, it has been necessary
twice TO enlarge the capacity OF the canal built
half century ago at an expense of about
S1,OOo.0OO. in order TO accommodate the com
merce.
The average Fastener has little conception
of the immensely of the commerce of the Great
Lakes. The figures given in our article show
ing the amount which goes through this canal
will surprise the NewYorker. Last year the
number of vessels which passed Sault Ste
Marie was greater than that which entered the
harbOr of New-York The freight on these YES
sells equalled in tonnage that recorded at the
New-iork Custom House as entering and clear
ing from this port last year AS many as
ninety nine vessels. laden with 2ST 800 tons of
freight. have been raised or lowered through
the Poe and Weitzel locks in the course of
twenty-four hours.
The construction of this canal opened I'D rich
sources of wealth. As result iron and con-
per mines in the neighbOrhOOd of the shores of
Lake Superior were rapidly developed and the
cost of Transporting wheat 10 the Atlantic sea
board from the prolific fields Of the Middle West
is kept at a low figure. 1t is part of the water
system of which the Erie Canal is n link The
enlargement of the Erie Canal will enable the
port OF New-fork TO reap greater benefit than
ever before from this vast lake trade

EMB4LMED BEEF ONCE MORE.

The Beef Trust is threatened by other dan
gers than those arising from prosecution for
violations of the Interstate Commerce act At
the time of the Spanish War the country was
greatly excited over the charge that beef pack
ers had used chemical preservatives on the meat
sent 10 the soldiers. This was denied and while
II was shown that some beef had been expert
mentally treated. long investigation failed to
prove that the regular supply sent out under
contract from the packing houses was "em-
balmed" Now. however, comes the State Dairy
and Food Commissioner of Pennsylvania with
the discovery that beef sold in that State has
been made unwhoesome by drugs.
DIR. Warren and his subordinates have ex-
amlned meat sent out from the six greatest
packing concerns The chemists found samples
which had been cOlored with anilne dyes dipped
In formaldehyde solution. busted with sulphites
and washed In strong bOraclc acid. The in
vestigatlons lead To the belief that the packers
regularly treat such part of their product a. is

BRITATys NEW NAVAL BASE.

That is a decidedly Interesting announcement
Of the British Admiralty concerning its new
naval. base.- IL had planned 10 spend some SD
100000 i'm Improvements at Chatham That
Was couple of years ago Instead. il now pro-
poses 10 spend that amount, and perhaps more.
on new base at Rosyth, on the Firth of Forth.
Thus for the first time Great Britain will have
a first class naval station. ranking we sup
pose, with Chatham, Portsmouth and Devon
pori, on the east coast of Scotland on the cen
frai part Of the North Sea.
This Is done in pursuance Of the new naval
policy Of Great Britain, which regards the
North Sea. instead OF the Mediterranean as
the chief European scene Of naval interest
Some incorrectly reported or misunderstood re-
marks of the Civil Lord Of the Admiralty on
this subject a short time ago created consid-
cradle sensation. Without reyivlng that sensa-
non. il is easy 10 observe the cause and the
Significance Of this change. Great Britain. de-
pending upon her feet for security. must so dis
pose her navy as TO have il most available a;
the most important point of possible need She
must face her strongest possible antagonist
For many years the French navy was the sec
ond IN the world, and was therefore the most
Formidable OF all possible antagonists on that
account Great Britain maintained not only
Channel feet between herself and France but
also powerful Mediterranean feet adjacent
70 Fmnce's other coast and between that coast
and British interests in Egypt That was not
done as a menace 10 France with expecta-
tiop 81 immediate Use but simply in prepare
ton for any pOssble-however improbable
emergency Now the French feet has become
OF comparatively less importance. and. more
over Great Britain has formed a friendship
nppnoximating 10 an alliance with France,
wherefore the British feet in the Mediter-
rsnean can safely be reduced
Naturally the strength thus shifted from the
Mediterranean is 10 be placed adjacent 20 that
either DaTal power which Is taking Frances
place as second In strength. and which there
fcre,'is the most formidable OF possible ospo-
lents. II is not 20 be supposed that Great Brit
ain Intends this arrangement as the slightest

In view of these discoveries il might be well
for the New-York authorities TO find out what

soUYD SENSE IN NORWAY.

Current indications are that Norway will con-
tinue to exercise the excellent discretion which
has thus far characterized her action in seek
ing TO dissolve the monarchical union with Swe-
den She has been temperate. courteous and
patient, though entirely resolute. and has thus
commanded the respect even of those who can
not approve her aim.
Norway would doubtless be much gratifed to
receive formal recognition in her new status
ut the hands of other powers but she has not
been exigent in seeking II, and there is now the
judicious intimation that she may defer any
application for it until she has arranged her
differences with Sweden and has secured the
recognition of that kingdom. Such course, as
The Tribune has hitherto suggested. would be
cOmmendable and would obviate the posi-
bility of embarrassment or unpleasantness be-
tween any other powers and Sweden.
1t is also announced that the Norwegian gov
eminent will act upon the suggestion of the
Swedish Riksdag committee in calling for a
popular vote upon the question of separation.
Such a course would seem to be emlnently
proper and desirable. So mOmentOus an act
as the dissolution of the union should certainly
have the compIetest possible authority, and In
a democratic country like Norway that author
ity is the voice of the people. There has doubt
less been the less hesitation in calling for a
plebscite since there is so little question as to
what its result will be.
The expectation is therefore increasingly
strengthened that Scandinavian reorganization
will be peacefully effected and that its re-
suits will be mutually beneficial to the two
kingdoms
