THE WATER QUESTION.
The documents submitted to Councils yes
terlnv p'ace in a clear light the events con
nected with the existing scarcity of water in
the Fairmount lloservoirs. Mayor Fox dis
cussed the whole question not only in an able,
hut an earnest, candid, and creditable spirit;
and as hia views and recommendations sub
stantially accord with those of the Chief En
gineer, we hope that no potty partisan issue
will hereafter be raised on a subject in which
nien of all parties are equally interested.
It will be seen by the correspondence with
the Schuylkill Navigation Company that that
corporation promptly came to the relief of
the city in the hour of its greatest peril. In
stead of insisting upon the stringent execu
tion of the contract which requires the Fair
mount Water Works to suspend operations
whenever the water falls below the breast of
the dam. they closed thoir locks and freely
placed the contents of their pools at the dis
posal of the Chief Engineer. By this action
they not only lost rovenue at an important
season, but they subjected to Rerious damage
nnd inconvenience hundreds of boatmen, and
it was for their immediate relief mainly that
the appropriation of 2.-.,K) to the Schuyl
kill Navigation Company was passed yes-
te The only other resolution which was adopted
authorized the Chief Engineer, with the con
sent of the Water Department, to adopt any
temporary measures his judgment may ap
prove to remedy the present scarcity, pro
vided the expense does not exceed ..",O0D,
and that the hydrants in and for dwelling
houses shall not be stopped. This me.i-mro
may not be intrinsically of much importance,
except as an evidence of the disposition and
temper of Councils, yet it will no doubt incite
the Enoinecr to renewed exertions, and fully
justify him in giving a fair trial to the steam-fire-engine
project, which now promises to be
attended with considerable success.
So far as the future is concerned, Councils
were not prepared yesterduy for definite ac
tion. All propositions were referred to the
Water Committee, which was perhnps the
wisest course, but we fervently hope that
they will not bo suffered to sleep there. A
disposition was shown by a few of the mem
bers to dp less than the emergency required,
and by others to do more than is necessary:
but, on the whole, a wise and prudent spirit
prevailed. There are, however, two plain
dangers to be averted first, prolonged inac
tion or indecision until it becomes too late to
remedy the present defects by next summer,
and, second, the consideration of expensive
and extravagant schemes for seeking a new
source of water-supply for the city.
The evils of neglect are so appalling that
we should agree with the Mayor that appre
hensions on this score cannot be well founded,
if past experience did not justify them.
Auxiliary engines are not only necessary now,
but they have been necessary for years, and
scarcely a summer has passed without the
city being obliged to use more water for
water power than her authorities are entitled
to demand by the existing contracts, l'hilu
delphia has long been equally at the mercy of
a great freshet or a prolonged drought. No
new facts are developed by the present
scarcity; but as it has helped to familiarize
the entire public with the deplorable defi
ciencies of the present system, new delays
will now be more inexcusable than ever. The
Mayor well says, in view of the repeated re
commendations of Chief Engineers, that it
is surprising that auxiliary steam engines
were not erected at Fairmount long ago, "in
view of the mere possibility of accident at
Fairmount dam." But the danger is that, as
there have been delays in the past there
will be delays in the future; and that while
Council men debate or ignore a subject in
which the whole city has snch a vital interest,
months will swiftly fly by, and the burning
rays of another summer beam upon us before
the necessary new machinery is in working
order.
This danger is intensified by the proposi
tion introduced into both branches of Coun
cils yesterday for the appointment of a new
commission to consider the water question.
But a short time ago a commission tho
roughly examined and reported on this sub
ject in a manner that is entirely satisfactory
to the Mayor, the Chief Engineer, and to the
public generally. It is not necessary to adapt
all their suggestions immediately. AVe can
postpone for the present the construction of
a sewer from Manayunk to a point below the
Fairmount dam, and the proposed substitu
tion of inclined planes for tho outlet lock in
the Schuylkill; but the general idea of utiliz
ing larger quantities of the waters of that
stream at all seasons c:iiinot be too closely
adhered to. None of the projects for bring
ing water from a great distance by expen
sive aqueducts deserve serious consideration
at this juncture. In tho present financial
condition of the city, they are impracticable
on the one hand, and totally unnecessary on
the other. Even if ten or fifteen millions of
dollars were exuended to bring supplies from
the Lehigh or the headwaters of the Dela
ware, we would certainly get no larger and
scarcely a better supply than that which the
Schuylkill now delivers without expense at
the base of our reservoirs. What we need is
a remedy of the minor defects of tho present
system, not its abandonment. Tho expensive
aqueducts which are required by other cities
are fortunately not needed here; and it would
be the height of folly to pile a mountain of
tiseless debt on the shoulders of the tax-
Like a neurry politician teem
7o itre the thing thou dost not!"
Such is the quaint and pointed caption which
we find at the head of the first article in the
Boston Gazette of March 12,1770, a tattered,
threadbare copy of which lies before us as we
write. The article in question, as far as we
can decipher it, appears to be a forcible
argument in favor of the separation of the
colonies from the mother country, in re
sponse to a counter argument from a Tory
source in a previous issue of tho Boston Chro
nicle. The revolutionary writer not only at
tempts to bolster up his causo by substantial
argument, but indulges in an abuse of his an
tagonist in terms thut recall the bitterness
with which Parson Brownlow was accustomed
in tho late civil war to belabor the Rebel sym
pathizers of East Tennessee. He crushes his
opponent with irrefutable arguments, and
then, when he has placed him hors de combat,
accuses him of being "guilty of imperti
nence, absurdity, sophistry, and falsehood,"
and finally dismisses him with the intimation
that "matters of greater importance than
viewing his defects and deformities" claim
instant attention.
This curious document affords a striking
illustration of the rancor which, even at this
early period full six years before the Decla
ration of Independence had entered into the
contest betwoen the colonies and the mother
country. This, in itself, would prove a pro?
fitable theme for discussion, but we desire at
present to attend to a point which is incident
ally made by the indignant and zealous advo
cate of independence. He defies his antago
nist to offer the least shadow of evidence that
he "would convert every province or island,
hoircvcr insignificant some of them may be,
into separate and distinct States."
From this passage it would appear that the
Tory writers of the day were hard pushed for
argument, and in their dilemma hit upon the
device of accusing the advocates of indepen
dence of a desire not only to cut the colonies
loose from the mother country, but to split
them up into an infinitude of sovereignties,
without any common bond of union. As
soon as the ties which had bound them to the
British crown had been effectually severed,
the very spirit which the writer in tho Boston
Gazette so indignantly repudiated was mani
fested by many of tho leading men of the
new nationality. Even during the darkest
days of the conllict which terminated in a
separation from England, Pennsylvania
was jealous of New lork, and
Rhode Island looked upon Massa
chusetts with undisguised distrust. The com
mon danger and the necessity of providing
for the common security sufficed, however,
to keep the thirteen rebellious colonies in the
lino until that common danger was past.
Then followed the trying ordeal of the Con
federation, during which the spirit of local
independence had such full play and sway
that the Union was the merest farce of an
abstract theory; and not until it was con
clusively proven, by the bitterness of experi
ence, that the common welfare of all the
States demanded a "more perfect Union," as
the only practicable way of establishing jus
tice, insuring domestic tranquillity, providing
for tho common defenso, promoting the gene
ral welfare, and securing the blessings of
liberty to the people of the country and thoir
posterity for all time to come, was- public
sentiment prepared to concede and accept the
compromises of the Federal Constitution.
But three quarters of a century under this
constitution did not suffice to eradicate the
vicious principle of local sovereignty which
the Tory writer of 1770 had hurled in the face
of his assailant. Tho man-selling aristocracy
of the South clung to this principle with won
derful tenacity, for tho simple reason that
it appeared, early in the history of the coun
try, to be the only safeguard of the infamous
and blighting institution which they uphold.
And when the voice of the majority at last
signified that the further extension of this
peculiar institution was impossible, and ele
vated Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency by
way of giving emphasis to the sentiment, the
man-sellers threw off the mask; declared that
the "more perfect union" to which their fore
fathers, and themselves in turn, had sworn
allegiance, was even less perfect than the
mere farce of a Union which had preceded it
and appealed to the sword to decide
the issue of local against national sove-
reignty. Yicksburg, Gettysburg, and Appo-
ninttox were more effective than the sobe
teachings of history, and at last the taunt of
the Tory writer of 1770 has been disproved.
The election of General Grant to the Presi
dency confirmed and emphasized the verdict
of the Lattlc-lield; and, despite the unreason-
aMe twaddle with which the Democratic press
ituuj tiuuvt.1 liiu luiiuijj , nil; jirni uuu UUU
work of drawing still closer the ties between
the States and the people who compose them
is steadily progressing. Tho "more perfect
Union" is fast becoming a living reality; the
Constitution which was framed by our fathers
to form it, to "establish justice, insure do
inestic tranquillity, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare, and
iha blessincs of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity," has ceased at last to be a
mere String OI giiueniiK ncuunumtia,
THE INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA.
The information which was published yes
terday about tho negotiations between the
United States and bpain lor tho acknowledg
ment by the latter of the independence of
Cuba, on the basis of a sum of money, the
payment of which is to be guaranteed by the
United States, is denied this morning, aud we
are eousecpiently as much in the durk as ever
no in whether our Government has rnllv
taken any steps towards persuading Spain to
reilUtlllnil VULItt W" jr. .i v mnu, null ntlut 111 l Id L
r.,l.o nr. ..
certainly be considered very advantageous,
terms. Rumors of such negotiations have
been prevalent for some time past, but no
thing definite could be learned about them,
and although it has been denied thut
tho United States Las moved in the
matter, it would not bo a matter for surprise
if at any time intelligence should be re
fviYSil Vf Jh? of the reports, It is cou-
ceded on all sides that tho host thing that
Spain can do is to get rid of Cuba as quickly
as possible, and if she can obtain the pay
ment of a good round sum for so doing she
will be particularly fortunate. This is the
view taken by tho English and French jour
nals, and while their emphatio expressions of
opinion on the subject suggest that thoir ad
vocacy is prompted by other motives than tho
good of the Cubans and a desire to add this
rich and fertile island to the possessions of
the United States, yet it is certain that but
one line of policy is open for Spain in tho
matter, and nothing but foolish prido'will
make her hesitate to adopt it. It is
becoming more and ruoro evident
every day that tho ability of tho Spaniards to
hold Cuba is docreasiug; they have their homo
troubles to atten 1 to, which promise to keep
their hands full; they are unable to send an
adequate force to Cuba to put down tho
patriots, and tho prospects of tho representa
tives of Spanish authority already thero aro
becoming more and more gloomy. In con
ducting such negotiations as those which have
been mentioned, socrecy is of course required
until the final consummation of the bargain,
if for no other reason than that tho unpopu
larity of the measure among the Spanish
people might make the Government rocedo
even from what it considered tho most politic
course that could be adopted. In the present
impoverished condition of the Spanish trea
sury, the payment of several millions of dol
lars by the Cubans would be particularly Jac
ceptable, while, as tho matter now stands,
fighting the insurrectionists causos a drain on
the national treasury that it is littlo able to
boar.
It Bcems scarcely possible that Cuba can
ever again resume her old position of a colony
of Spain, and a grand field for Spanish office
holders to make fortunes in; and if her inde
pendence can be obtained through the friendly
offices of the United States, the first step
towards adding another State to the Union
will be taken, and wo will obtain what we
have long desired, a possession in the Antilles
that will give us entire control of the Gulf of
Mexico, and make it emphatically an Ameri
can lake. This is an exceedingly important
consideration, as was sufficiently proved dur
ing the Rebellion; and while we do not care
to invest money just at present in acquiring
now territory, me acquisition ol one ot tile
more prominent West India islands is some
thing that our Government ought to keen
steadily in mind, and bo ready to avail itself
ot any opportunities that may oner.

Worcester. Muss., Aur. 24. The Demo
cratic State Concentlon met here nt noon to-duy.
It Is well attended. Hon. C. L. Woodbury, of
Boston, was chosen President. After having
stated the work of the convention, he said that
tho fact that man Is capable of eclf-KOvernmcnt
must bo acknowledged. No man Is his brother's
keeper. In Massachusetts nud In the Union the
prcat question is, "Shall the American continent
be ruled by the American people ?" The Mon
roe doctrine was then strongly contended for by
Mr. Woodbury, and tho Immediate freedom of
the Canadas and Cuba, and their ultimate an
nexation to the United States, earnestly advo
cated. Passing to subjects nearer home, he came to
the questions that were directly at issue in this
Commonwealth. These Issues affect the whole
people of the State, and we meet, he said, to
plan a campaign that shall redeem us from tho
overwhelming disgrace that the Republican
party has suddenly brought upon us. Ho then
spoke of the action of the people In enacting
the license law of 1807, and of its repeal in 18(50,
contending that no Legislature had tho right to
prescribe what we shall eat or what wo shall
drink, and when it does so, its action Is simply
despotism.

THE TREASURY.
An
Experiment nt Picking the Locks on the
inun noon.
From the Wsuthington titar of lat evening.
An experiment made at the Treasury Depart
ment on Saturday last, by consent of Treasury
otiicials, developed the startling fact that there
is not a lock in the department which may not
be picked with comparative ease. Some time
ago Mr. A. B. Mullet, tho Supervising Architect,
was Informed bv Mr. James Sargent, of Roches
ter, New York, that tho combination locks
adopted by the Government and in general use,
not only lu the vaults at tho Treasury building,
but in those of the public buildings and banks
throughout the country, could bo opened with
ease without injuring tho locks or attracting at
tention, aud that he was ready at any time to prove
this assertion. Mr. Mullet was doubtful, aud
lie told Mr. Sargeut to come on and try the ex-
Eerinient, and said one of Dodd's Eureka com
inatlou locks would first be submitted to his
skill. In the meantime the country has been
startled by some of tho most daring robberies
evor recorded, aud bank vaults that wero sup
posed to bo burglar-proof have been opened
with the greatest ease, and the public mind has
been awakened to a sense ot tho insecurity ot
the locks of our public depositories. On Satiu--
day Mr. Sargent arrived here, and called upon
Mr. Mullet to give him an illustration, not so
much of hla skill as a lock-picker as of tho ease
with which the "unpiekublo locks" in tho Trea
sury could be opened. Ho commenced
operations on the safe used by
Mr. Mullet, and in ono hour and seven
minutes, and without any noise, had the same
access to the interior of tho safe that Mr. Mullet
had with his knowledge of the combination to
which his lock was set. General Spinner, the
custodian of the funds, was notilled of what had
been done, and hastened to tho room of .Mr.
Mullet, where Mr. Sargent again gave him proof
ot the Insecurity ot tne locks, n is ueuerai
Spinner's custom to try every door of tho vaults
and stiffs of his ollice after ollice hours, and on
Niit.nrrliiv. after Mr. Sarurout's experiment, lie
spent a little extra time lu cxaminimr the exte
rior mechanism of the different parts of the alo
as he passed from room to room. He will now
havceverylock thoroughly examined, and efforts
will at once be made to secure some sort of a
lock that will be burglar-proof.
