WATER SUPPLY bitches.

It is q good thing TO have New-York City
man at the head of the Assembly Committee
on Water Supply, for there are indications that
this city will have TO make vigorous light for
one of the prime .necessaries of life, though
whether against outside or inside foes is not
altogether clear. The somewhat pessimistic re-
mark of the Corporation Counsel the other day,
that it was not at ali certain this city would
be permitted TO go on with its much needed
waterworks extension, seems 10 have been made
not without cause. There is obviously q hitch
in the proceedings, though how serious IT is
does not yet appear The plans of the city are
being opposed at every step often, we believe,
on inadequate if not frivolous grounds. but in
one respect apparently on grounds which merit
serious consideration Much delay has thus
been caused in the hearings before the State
Water Commission, but even that IS not the
worst Of II. There are now limitations Of fresh
legislation at Albany. with prospects Of all but
interminable complications and delay.
a certain part Of all Of these things we must
regard as uncalled for and unjustifable Last
winter and the winter before the New-York
water question was deliberately thrashed out 1T
Albany, and most Of the points We're settled,
and il does not appear that any good purpose
is now to be served by rethrashing old straw.
The Mayors bill was supposed TO have been
carefully drawn at the beginning, especially
munities from injury, or TO compromising them
justly for whatever injuries they might suffer
But IN response TO insistent demands it was
amended, with view 10 increasing and confirm
ing those assurances TO the counties. Nor was
that all. 1t was required that there should be
constituted q state water commission 10 pass
upon the city's plans which was probably a
good thing as a general and permanent arrange
ment II was then hoped, and there was reason
for hoping. that everything was settled and that
the city might go on promptly with the much
needed work. But now We told that IL is
not enough, but that there must be new legis-
lation over the head Of the state commission.
II may Well be asked where this sort Of thing
is to stop. WIN this winters legislation be sui

Professor Alexander Graham Bell told Inc

Years he could not look at bird without belng
irri+a+ad bv its ability to do something which
was quite beyond his own power. Many other
men who have sought the most encleht heaAs
of navigating the air must have felt the same
way. The gull is so devoid OF Intelligence mat
its name is often used to tpity persons VINO
can he easily fooled Yet no endowment OF
hroins enables man TO accomplish what the
gull does without apparent effort. and the as
coverv OF his beIplessness is naturally huInlI-
iating.
Nevertheless. the study Of the bird has not
been without profit. Inventors have learned
81 last that imitation in one particular is out
of the question while imitation in another Is
NOT only feasible but is really desirable. Pro

really an aeroplane.
A question on which light is now needed is
whether or not this complicated fabric, which
looks like a colossal honeycomb, is going to
prove superior TO the simple models Of Lilien-
thai Maxim, Langley and the Wright brothers.
In a five story cellular structure there is
larger amount of sustaining surface within
given lateral limits than in their devices, but
it is conceivable that experiments may yet
reveal drawbacks which more than offset that
original advantage. Tests made q few weeks
ago with q tetrahedral kite the Frost King
proved that It could lift Il weighing
I65 pounds. With an increase in size it viii
become possible TO carry Il much heavier bur

when one Of these kites is supplied with its own
engine it will move as steadily as when towed
and also exhibit q reasonable degree OF sta
bility. How this highly specialized form of
aeropIane viii compare IN actual service with
less elaborate ones is yet 10 be determined.
We hope that the existing uncertainty may be
dispened before many years.

ELFCTORAL REFORMS

The special grand jury which has been en-.
gagged upon election cases makes some inter
esdng and valuable suggestions for the better
working Of or electoral machinery lis pre-
sentiment, which, IL IS understood, largely re-
Elects the views OF Attorney General Mayer
who has been the effective agent in the pun
ishment Of many election crimes, lays great
stress upon the Incompetence Of a large pro-
portion Of the election officials
There are 1854 inspectors and poll clerks in
the city OF New-YOrk- These men are supposed
10 be familiar with the election law and trained
70 the performance Of the clerical duties which
they undertake yet in the county OF New-York
alone about one hundred and forty boards of
inspectors, comprising about six hundred men,
were called before the Board of County Can
vaSsers TO correct errors. and until these cor
rections were made a canvass of the vote was
not possible. The grand jury has found an
enormous number OF discrepancies and mistakes
in the work of the officials. and, while IL does
not believe that any considerable proportion
Of them intentionally fail OF their duty, il is
convinced that some new methods must be
adopted whereby q better test of the qualifca-
lions of election officers than prevails
may be applied. The time allowed by law for
the examination OF officers is short. Many OF
the officers examined fail 10 appear at the poll
ing places on Election Day and INFESTED sub
stttutes have 10 be found.
The grand jury notes that the voluntary
watchers at the polls are generally Of a higher
grade of intelligence and ability than the Off
GERS, and II urges such citizens TO seek ap-
pointment on the official boards and at the
same time asks the political parties TO make
fheir selections for inspectors with greater
care. There the real difficulty is touched IN
less the political parties will open the door to
these voluntary watchers there is no chance
for their official employment, and II may take
considerable persuasion 10 induce the political
organizations TO abandon their old friends
These inspectorships a last refuge OF spoils
politics not lightly 10 be yielded up by the
district leaders and precinct captains. Follow
ers are named for the places not because they
are If for the duties, but 10 get the days pay
and because they can be useful in ward poll
tics It Is of course, proper that the election
officials should represent the rival political
organizations, at least so far as 10 secure alb
solute fairness in the election, but that does
not imply that the appointments should be
made the spoils of politicians. Some method
should be devised 10 bring 10 the front indie
pendent, intelligent men
The grand Jurors believe that the Election
