q GAIN in Mt the senate hearing on the Meeran IN a an diver
TN sion bill Yesterday the representatives of the Watersnake
harped ON sympathy for the Staten Islanders and the water
pipe contractor and drew pathetic pictures OF the distress and loss
that unfortunate people would undergo if the State should carry
out its policy of water conservation. Nor did they observe any
semblance of truth in their statements to the committee. One state
ment by an attorney for the water company might be characterized
rs audacious. 1t related to The amount of water that goes to waste
in New Jersey. If all the water that comes in the form of rain and
snow from the skies could be impounded for potable purposes there
is no doubt that there is enough water in New Jersey to supply
the State and other States. But the rivers must be kept filled and
the ground must be irrigated for cultivation. To catch the excess
and prevent its loss. great reservoirs must be built at a large cost.
The State geologist has shown that the limit of supply from the
Passaic, watershed will be reached in a few years. He did not
mean that then the rivers would run dry by the diversion of water
to potable uses. Newark is nearing its limit of present supply.
The city has sought new watershed and been defeated by the State
Water supply Commission and the East Jersey Water Company.
at has some reliance for a supplemental supply in its wells at Belle
vile, which the water company attempted 10 grab not long ago.
Inevitably, if the water companys wells nearby are pumped, the
Newark wells will be made useless. and there will be no supple
mental supply to tide the city over. In effect, what the water com
pany could not buy or steal il will take by sanction of the Legs-
lature, if the Legislature should pass the amendment to the Nc
Gran bill.

Juror Airs Grievance.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star:
I have often heard citizens of Essex
county complain about being COM
PEELED to serve on petit juries at the
Court House, and have never had II
sympathy with the kickers, as | be-
lieved it was the duty of every citizen
to serve when called.
Now | have been called, or as those
who have lac experience in the past
say, "stung'' for jury duty myself, and
[ know the wherefore of the kicking.
1t is simply this: At the Court louise
there has been no provision made for
the comfort Of jurors who are on the
panel, but are not engaged in hearing
cases. At the most but As out of 125
men can be engaged at one time. as
there are but four court rooms. This
leaves II men idle for from one to five
hours at a stretch with nothing to do
but find "a seat on the stone steps or
the stairways, or in the small motion
court room with its straieht-back
benches.
The motion room is in use u great
part of the time, leaving the jurors no
place to rest themselves or while away
the time waiting to be called for duty.
Owing to the very poor ventilation Of
the court room the judges usually send
the entire panel out of the room as
soon as u jury is obtained in order

n.rstes Chancellor.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-More than once | have been I'M
PEELED to suggest that the only differ
ence etween an elephant and a strad-
dle-bug is a matter of discrimination.
Now here comes no less a man than
the chancellor of Syracuse University
talking sheer nonsense in a public adj
dress at Pittsburg, rapping "one-man
rule as it is said to exist at the White
House, 'the will of a man substituted
for the will of the people," debating
legislation before "a man of the people
has spoken in Congress or a word has
been heard from the numerous States"
etc, etc.
Does not the chancellor perceive that
the President is more directly "a man
of the people than are most of our
United States senator's? That he is as
much "a man of the people as are the
members of the national house or the
whole house itself?
"A popular convention cnunciated GER
tain ~well-defined principles and Endorses
certain proposed legislation, all of which
are embodied in a platform"
The people represented in this con-
vention then. nominate and elect a man
to champion these certain principles
and proposals throughout the country
as a candidate for the presidency.
By a popular vote this man. espous-
ing this platform with these very
proposals and principles, is sent to the
White House to enforce them.
He proceeds to do his duty with ref

our resorts. New Jersey has many resorts which depend largely
upon outside patronage. At this season of the year Atlantic City,
Lakewood and the New Jersey coast generally appeal strongly to
the visitor seeking pleasure. health and comfort. With a view to
encouraging such visitors and extending them Il courtesy that is
rarely elsewhere denied, the Edge bill was introduced. 1t was
generally approved. II passed the House. but met defeat in the
Senate because of the narroNness of view of that bodys presiding
officer. Washington is just now eXempifying the fate that attends
bossism and reckless disregard of the popular will. The presiding
officer at Trenton might well profit thereby. His overthrow may
not obe dncompassed. within the Senate for the minority is power
less and the majority Indifferent; but in the reckoning with the
people he will receive the rebuke that his action demands.

ONE TRUE FRIEND REMAINS.

That worthless dross called

speaking of the commodity which

IT'D RESIDENT TAFT now says thar in the tariff controversy
S with Canada the United States hasn't got any case; that
the question with him only is as to the construction of the
statute; that except for that question there wouldn't be any con
trOversy: that the present tariff arrangement is satisfactory. and
his only desire Is to maintain the most amicable relations with
Canada. 1t is news to the American public that the only difficulty
in the way is whether The statute will permit the President 10
accept he terms Of Canada: that is to say. rates much higher han
Canada gives to England. France and Germany. The attitude taken
at Washington was that Canada must give TO this country equal
privileges or come in under the maximum rates of the new tariff.
There is perhaps no surprise at the readiness of Mr.. Taft to yield
the whole case, which he virtually gives away in his statement.

eTTa HE Hon. David Baird, just returned from Cuba. turns up
in Trenton with a prediction that Camden county will This
year give the Republican candidate for Governor 1900
plurality. Mr. Baird evidently had Vivian NJ. Lewis, of Paterson,
in his eye when he ventured that prediction. Camden county gave
Fort for Governor IA plurality of 65JJ, the largest county plurality
in the State, and it gave Taft $3.50. Republican sentiment in
Camden is pretty steadfast under all circumstances, but there may
be some doubt of Mr.. Baird's figure. even with Vivian NJ. Lewis as
the figure at 1899.

A CITY COUNCIL SUNK nv CORRUPTION.

IN ITTSBURG has presented some sorry spectacles of degrada-
|S ton of public officers, but none quite as bad as that of last
night, when the grand jury returned fortyone indictments
for corruption in a single case-that of the opening Of a street.
After the indictments councilmen and former conncilmen, one after
another, went before the court and confessed bribe-uaking and re
Yceiyed suspended sentences. Their cases were made absolutely con
temptble by the cheapness with which they had been bought, the
prices being as low as $50, that amount being paid to a wealthy
italian fruit dealer, a member Of the corrupt body under indict.l
Inent. All this corruption would remain hidden but Tor the public
spirit and courage of a. band of citizens who attacked the political
regime and brought about its exposure. The man who furnished
the bride money, a asteel king in Iittsburg, is now dead. No
doubt an eloquent tribute was paid to him when his obsequies
occurred. "But the evil that men do lives after Them as in this
case. Nor was he she only man in high position b Pittsburg that
