Ulster ever seriously opposed the taking or It's

Or again, is the present proposal purely ana
simply strike?
However these things may be, it is perfectly
evident that the enactment of this Ulster pre-
hibition bill would work almost intolerabia hard
shin to this city. The Duchess County Dill
shut il away from all further extension of its
wafer system ON the east side of the hudson.
This Ulster bill would do the same for the west
side of the river so far as all desirable sources
are concerned. Its enactment would leave New
York under the necessity of going TO the upper
Hudson or to Oneida Lake for a supply, every
drop of which would have TO be filtered and
pumped and so would cost US vastly more than
the Catskill supply-eyen If the city were not,
as it probably would be, met again in those
quarters with more prohibitive legislation: fer
Warren and Oneida and other counties have
Iust as good a right TO demand such legislation
as have Suffolk and Duchess and Ulster In
that case there would remain only the Great
Lakes. And what a spectacle it would be for
New-York TO have TO go hundreds of miles at
colossal cost and pump water hundreds of feet
when there is water enough and TO spare rum
ming 10 waste almost at its very doors, at an
elevation that is sufficient without pumping!

THE "OLD FIRST"

No movement started in this city in many
a day has been worther of encouragement and
success than that of the Rev. DR.. Howard Duff
field 10 save the "Old First Church, of which
he is the pastor. The subject of the down
town church has often been discussed from So
Geological and religious points of view. The
tendency of parishes to move uptown as their
supporters do is we'll known, and no stress
need be laid on the necessity of vigorous in
stitutional churches south of 14th-st.
Dr. Duffield does not have TO make his ap-
peal ON these grounds however, strong and
valuable though the influence Of his church Is
in the territory it covers. The considerations
which he brings to public attention are historic
and aesthetic The "Old First ranks with
Trinity and the Collegiate parish in age and
associations. These organizations have such a
recognized place in the life and activity of the
city that their pastors are ex-0ficio members
of certain civic boards AS well put "sky
scraper' on the site of Old Trinity on that
of the "Old First" standing i'll the most at
tractive part of 5th-ave.
Dr. Duffield has received encouragement from
Mayor Mcclellan, Recorder Golf, Bishop Pot
ter DR.. Dix of Trinity; DIR. Huntington. of
Grace; President Jesup of the Chamber Of Com
merce and various men of high business stand
ing The variety of this support shows how
generally the movement appeals to public sym
pathy.

MORE T4TER PROHIBITION.

The expected has happened again When the
Smith bill Of 1904 was passed, fOrbidding New
York 10 get water from Duchess County, we
EXPIRE sed In these columns the fear that the
example would be followed elsewhere, and that
every county in the state from which this city
might desire 10 get supply Of water would dis
cover that there were special and unique rea-
sons why il. Of all counties should be exempted
from such invasion. The vicious precedent
first set IN Suffolk County. 1t was repeated and
confirmed in Duchess County. And now it is
proposed a third time. for Ulster County.
This latest attempt 10 wall in the metropolis
IS peculiarly offensive because of the ante
cedent circumstances-and indeed present con-
ditions Last winter at Albany was largely
given up &c water legislation, and especially to
devising and enacting provisions for the safe
guarding Of Ulster COunty's interests 1t was
perfectly well understood that New-York was
looking to that region for it's additional water
supply. and it WAS chiefly in response TO the
demands of that region that the Mayors water
bin was remodelled and the State Water Com
mission was constituted. 1t was certainly init
mated that those concessions were satisfactory
and that Ulster County would not oppose the
needed extension of New-Y ork's water system
In the hearings before the State Water Com
mission, however Ulster has been fighting New
York at every step. often frivolous pretexts
and the inclination has been 10 yield 10 MANY

SLANG AND ST4TESlIANSHIP.

Mr. Coler's resolution for an investigation by
the Board of Aldermen of the transit merger IS
characteristic document, especially the pre-
amble. 1t has all the marks of frantic effort
on the part of its author to get in front of the
procession and attract attention by the glib and
noisy phrases of faker at a country fair. We
suppose Mr.. Coler considers this powerful state
paper, but we have seen few state papers which
were so lacking in the dignity which commands
respect and the moderation which carries con-
viction 1t starts off with denouncing what it
proposes to investigate as lone gigantic and
grating corporation and then it INDUCES in
TRADE of assumption and abuse such as we
might expect from an irresponsible talker to an
admirir1g thrOng at a corner grocery, but which
little BELTS the character of public official who
expects to be taken seriously. Mr.. COler, the
other day. sneered at the new Controller-who,
by the way is older than hmSelf-as a youth
who might learn something after a while. We
are afraid that Mr.. COler is not in that class.

agement of these corporations, and ought to be
protected from any financial arrangement which
will make service subseryient to the payment of
dividends or excessive capitalization. The
problem of dealing with transit affairs, however,
is one for serious minded men. 1t is not to be
solved by plays to the gallery and by cheap,
slangy sensationalism. If Mr.. COler will devote
less time TO providing headlines for the news
papers and more to the serious work of his office.
while he may not get much temporary noto-
riety, he will promote his own lasting reputa-
ton. People are getting weary of the circus

TAXATION IN NEW JERSEY

There are railroad taxation bills galore now
before the New-Jersey Legislature. What is
known as the Colby plan provides that main
stem railroad property shall be taxed at local
rates and the revenue distributed among the
various municipalities, while the proposition of
The organization Republicans is that the tax
rate be the average one of the whole state and
that the income be retained by the state, or
that so much of it as is not needed be divided
pro rata.
1t is perfectly well known that the present
status OF the taxation question is due to the
energetic propaganda conducted by Mayor
Pagan of Jersey City and Senator Everett
Colby, of Essex County. Until they reused the
state the disposition among politicians, both
Republican and Democratic, was to take the
word Of the railroad companies as TO what
was the best thing 10 do, and the companies
generously announced that they were willing to
be let alone. Last years developments changed
the situation-so much so, indeed that men
who less than a tweyemonth ago were openly
voicing the arguments of the railroad COM
panies are now very emphatic in demanding
that the laws be amended.
Some of the men who this year talking
so glibly for equal taxation" may or may not
be sincere There is a belief In certain quar-
tiers that they are posing refOrmers so as to
be- il q better positl0n 10 muddle Or delay the
