There is seemingly no limit to the ways and
means employed by the Gable Railroad Com?
pany to get its charter made good. Assembly?
man Shea, who has constituted himself the
especial champion of this corporation, proposed
last night an innccent-looking measure, which
he sucece>ded in advancing to the order of third
reading, on the representation th.it it was in?
tended to enable an African Methodist Chinch
to remedy a defect in its articlos of incorpora?
tion. On _iib_t.jiii.'iii examination it was found
thal the bill waa broad enough to cover the
Cable Company with its claim on seventy miles
of New-Yorks streets. The discovery was
made in time to permit a lemedy. A sharp
lookout must be kept on Shea hereafter.
?
M. d? Le-i-j-pps has won another preliminary
victory, which probably ind nut's tho success
of his scheme to bolster up the failing fortunes
of the Panama Canal. Ho has succeeded in in?
ducing the Chamber of Deputies to agree, by
a vote of 20o to 170, to consider his proposal
for a new lottery loan. With the Govern?
ments sanction, this magician may, by waving
his enchanted wand, draw enough money from
the pockets of those people whose faith in him
is still unshaken to carry on his project for
some time longer. But the bonds must be sold
at such a discount that thc proceeds can insuro
little more than a temporary postponement of
the collapse which ts inevitable sooner or later.
The House Committee on Rivers and Harbors
has brok-n the record. Apparently the prin?
ciple on which its work has been done has been
to turn not away from anybody who asked for
anything. Hence there has been little
(rouble in rolling up the enormous total of
$19,432,783, which is to be promiscuously dis?
tributed over the country. There is one trou?
ble about bringing this bill forward at present.
It ought to have been kept back until the fate
of tte "Dark Lantern" Tariff measure is de?
cided. If this River and Harbor bill should
fter become a law, the necessity of reducing
tlie surplus would be appreciably less than it
ia now.
at--.
There are, unquestionably, strong reasons
why the vaAnt Chief Justiceship of the Su?
preme Court should be filled without needless
delay. Ono of these is that the curt has more
work on hand than it cen do ? and even if some
method of relieving it in some degree is devised,
the nine Justices will continue to bc fully "oc?
cupied. Of course, thei-c is nothing but spee
nletion in Ute matter thus far, but Mr. Cleve?
land's course tot feme time bas led to a wide
spread belief that his selection will not be made
solely because of pre-eminent fitness in the
man chosen. One of the current rumors points
to the choice of a New-Yorker, as tho Presi?
dent may think it desiiible to strengthen him?
self politically in this State. The appointment
would naturally go to tho Fourth Circuit. That
custom, however, might easily be overridden
by a President who has had in his Cabinet- from
tho first two Secretaries from New-York.
It. has been expected -bat the preliminary
kuseball season would begin next Saturday,
but weather like t&at of yesterday makes it
look doubtful. When this sport gets fairly
I under way, though, there will be plenty of it
more tins summer than ever before. The pro?
's I .essioi-al clubs aro getting their players into
J condition to begin the long pennant conteat,
-? ' and the numerous amateur clubs are impa
1 ' tient for tho coming of genuine spring. Ama
_" tours aro popularly supposed to play for love
I and recreation only; but thc public must pay
? to see them just as if they meant ?'business.''
{ Tho new Amateur League has just boen formed
and the championship struggle is sure to bo
interesting. The ninea of Yale. Harvard and
Princeton, too, will make a stirring spectacle
in their contest for intercollegiate baseball
honers.
LARGE CITIES ASD HIGH LICENSE.
The publication of Uie provisions of the
liquor laws of each State, with the testimony
of leading men of all parties as to their work?
ings which Tue Tri mine bogan on Sunday
l.'i.t. makes clear many important facts. These
thitw much light on this vital question, and
should aid greatly in its solution. Here are
somo of them:
I. States in which g-qperal prohibition lavts
have been enacted, and, so, far as was possible,
enforced, have no very large cities. This is
true of Iowa, where thc largest city, according
to tho census of 1880, Des Moines, had a popu?
lation of only 32,469, and where there were
only 31 inhabitants to thc square mile; ol
Kansas, where tho largest city then, Leaven?
worth, had only 29,268 inhabitants, and there
wero only 12 persons to the square milo in the
State; of Maine, where the largest city, Port
land, had a population of only 33,810. In all
these States the population is largely rural and
much scattered. The nearest approach to an
exception to this is Rhode Island, where, the
Stato being very small, the population is con?
centrated, and the largest city, Providence,
had a population of 101,857. Hut the future
publications in Tm* Tribtjve will prove that
it is in Rhode Island that prohibition as a
Stato policy has made its poorest showing.
Its failure there seems absolute. (All these
figures aro from the census of 1880, and. for
the Western States especially, are, of course,
inadequate, but this does not affect the. value of
tbe comparisons, which can be accurate!, made
in no other way.*)
IT. In Prohibition .States tbe success of thc
law has boen greater where population is scat?
tered than where it is concentrated, greater
where there are no largo cities than where
there are largo cities.
HI. No prohibitory law has gone into Mfr
cesflful operation in any State that, under the
census of 1880. bad a population of ono million,
with the exception of Iowa.
IV. In States where the distribution or tbe
population has made it .-.oem practicable, the
Ii'c p'll'licar. party has uigeel Prohibition, en?
acted it into 'aw and sustained its enforce?
ment.
V. All State pronibltory laws that are on
tho statute-books to-day were put there by tho
Republican parly.
VI. In States with large cities and great
relative population, tho Republican party has
supported High License, and it has proved very
successful. This has been eminently true in
Illinois, whero the operation of the Harper law
R Ht UBI! V Ii ill|e-e<l h lill ' ? ? sab "- '*
Chicago, for example, from 3.800 to 8,600,
although the population has increased from
450,000 to 700.000; in Pennsylvania, where
it is estimated that, in Philadelphia alone, the
number of saloons and hotel oars will bo re?
duced from 6,000 to 1,500?an almost incredi?
ble reduction, but one which many are san?
guine enough to expect on tho basis of the
number of licenses thus far granted and re?
fused. High License has also been markedly
successful in such States as Nebraska and Min?
nesota, where there aro cities which may be
called large, though not by the side of Phila?
delphia and Chicago, but where there is no such
concentration of population as in the older
States. It is worthy of note, also, that High
License seems to be as effective in small towns
and in the rural portions of States in which it
is in force as in tho largo cities. Our Sunday
publication showed Democrats in Florida call?
ing for High License rather than Local Option,
and 6uch an acquiescence in High License in
Illinois, since ita triumphant* success, that tho
Democrats would not dare now to call for its
repeal. %
Ono of tho most important deductions to be
mado from the foregoing is that High License
is the only practicable method of restricting
tho saloons in large cities. Even so extreme
a Prohibitionist as Professor Herrick Johnson
admits that, prohibition could not bc "at once
and suece. sfully enforced in Chicago." But
High License has always recorded nn imme?
diate success. Will the New-York Legislat?
ure allow this groat city to try it?
MORE REFORM AT10N-LI.SS PUSISJ1MEN1
Tho Board of Managers of the Elmira Re?
formatory make an important and valuable sug?
gestion in their annual report. The Reforma
tuiy is now crowded to its utmost capacity, the
number of inmates during the year having
averaged 785. It ought to bc able to receive
(r*-in the juvenilo reformatories? boys who are
too old and too depraved properly to find a
place there, and who need tho discipline of the
Elmira Reformatory. At thc same time the fact
is recognized that there aro large numbers <>f
young men, now in the State prisons for first)
oflencei, who ure more properly subjects for
reformatory than for penal treatment. The
c'lic-. (ion then arises whether the Reformatory
shall be enlarged, or some other means 6hall be
found of widening the operation of the system
employed there. The managers are strongly
against any addition to thc buildings at Elmira,
but recommend instead tho adoption of their
System in some one of the State prisons, re?
placing to a considerable extent at least the
ordinary prison administration. Mr. Brock
way, the General Superintendent, urges that a
number of the more confirmed criminals could
be removed from one of the priions, simple
means used t'o brighten up the place, and then
with !pecial attention to the physical condition
of inmates, training in trades t and manual
labor, and with schools, the prison would h***
in effect transformed int/) a reformatory with?
out a large increase of the cott of maintenance
Thia ceange would be directly in the line of
recent tendencies in penal science. We are
learning that it is for the good of society as
well as of tho criminal If be leaves his prison
a better man than when be entered. Reforms
tic,!i is b more desirable thing from purely
utilitarian point of view than punishment. THU
conviction is becoming so general thst the*
average number of inmate* in the Elmira Re?
formatory baa increased more than OO per cent
i in four years, indicating not an increase of
crime, but a tendoncy tuward this method of
dealing with youthful offenders. Li has been,
in fact, remarkably successful. The statistic?_
i of the institution show, from information to be
relied upon, that over 80 per cent of the men
i received In the institution and subsequently
paroled are probable reformations. No ont
needs to be told how much better a sy.tem of
Um kind is than ono which brutalizes and cor?
rupts thc young criminal by bringing him into
contact with the most hardened of bis class.
There soems to be no good reaion why such a
readjustment of our prison population should
not be made as to concentrate thc worst ele?
ments of it, and so relieve tho remainder from
their contaminating influence.
A considerable proportion of the present in?
mate"* of the State prisons are first offcadeta.
They are more likely to emerge confirmed
criminals than not, and so society keeps on add?
ing to its burdens by manufacturing enemies
for Itself, who must be watched, pursued, tried
and imprisoned, all at a great cost both in
money and general demoralization. The Re?
formatory system is especially adapted to the
reclamation of -routhful criminals, inasmuch as
under the law their stay is governed by tho
discretion of tho Board of Managers, vvith ihe
single restriction that it shall not exceed the
maximum term provided by law for the crime.
The conduct and progress of the prisoner aro
carefully noted, and when the Board of Man?
agers are convinced that it is proper to 9o so,
ho is released, whether that time come soon or
late. This system has worked so well that it
would, no doubt, bc a public benefit to extend
its influence as far as it is w iso and practicable.
THE W A RS I SO FROM WA8RIB0T0N.
The Administration is doing its v. mst. ClOBO
observers at Washington report ihat the Presi?
dent's patronage, used lo tho utmost to stem _
ihe passago of tho Mills Tarin bill, is rapidly
overcoming thc fidelity of DeiltOOiatte mem?
bers to the interests of their consliluenis. Tiny
believe that Mr. Randall's Democratic sup?
porters are melting away j one after another
theso Democrats visit tho White House and
tome away convinced. Thc warning is chiefly
for Democrats: Republicans are not expected
to favor such a measure. If the millions whose
wages and interests would bc affected by it du
not want it passed, it is time for them to make
themselves heard at Washington, and that)
without delay. This is the judgment of able
defenders of home industry who havo means
of knowing how patronage and partisanship
are breaking down Democratic opposition.
Th ero has boen far too much confidence in the
Democratic members who have professed
fidelity to principles which thc Republican
party only has faithfully upheld for the past
thirty years, and which the Democratic party
has constantly assailed. Tho constituents of
members can only terminate their service in
Congress; the President can provide not a few
w ith comfortable offices for life. Of his intense
earnestness in this matter there is no room to
doubt; he thinks his own future depend! on
it. All the passionate partisanship of Demo?
crats is appealed to now, and they are told that
tho party is ruined and doomed without Mr.
Cleveland as its candidate, and ruined with
him if it fails to sustain tho measure on which
ho staked everything by his mess--.e.
If Republicans were as m.scrupulous nnd ns
indifferent lo duty as their Opponents ri present,
they would take caro not to hinder this Demo?
cratic measure. In its present attitude, thc
Democratic party needs only rope enough to
end as Judas did. Manufacturers who have
been trusting tho " conservatism" of Democrats
?vould bc richer In wisdom, if not in pocket,
after a year's experience under the pending
measure. Whether workingmen and business
men can afford to buy experience just BOW i>
for them to say. It is their affair, and if they
do not care to defenc'. the;r interests, by their
influence and then by their votes, they may
bo very sure Democratic politicians will not
sacrifice much for their sake. It has grown
tho fashion with many workingmen of late to
trust their fate entirely to tho strength of their
organizations. They forget that when mis?
fortune comes upon industries they find their
organizaitions utterly powerless to help them
Within three months two of the most powerful
have been defeated and crippled; since No?
vember li just before the President's message,
thc weekly output of pig iron has already de?
creased one-fifth or more. It would bo the
part of wisdom for workers, through their
organizations and by every other proper means
to make Congress understand that the passaj_t*
of this bill would defeat the Democrntie party,
but it concerns them more than anybody else
in tho land.
It has become tho fashion, too, for business
men to treat with indifference the warnings of
political leaders and public journals, and to
indulge an optimistic faith that this great
country will prosper, as it has prospered these
many years. They may as well remember
that prosperity, these many years, has resulted
from measures to which all the industries of
the country have become adjusted, upon w hich
they have come to depend, and which arc now
assailed. It is not trading in Wall Street or
White Street that has made this country thrive.
but growth in productive industry stimulated
by wisc laws. Break down those laws, and let
English competition arrest that industry, and
the commercial world will search in vain for
defence against disaster.
Whatever happens, it is to be expelled that
Republican members of Congress will do their
best to defend the industries of the country.
Not one of them can afford to share respensi
bilitT for results to which fat offices may make
some Democrats indifferent. The course of the
republican party in tho next lYosidonlial con
tc si ?ill not be equivocal ? tl,at is as certain .ns
I* the platform had already been Hdopted. lt
will sppoal to the country against this measure,
and necessarily against those who fail to d->
th'*ir best lo defeat it. The precise method of
defeating it is not of the highest importance
It is not the duty of Republicans to frame a
tariff, until the country entrusts them with that
responsibility. But they will not fail to use
wrhBt power they have. If their united vote*.
will effect a repeal of the tobacco fixes, andi
part or the whole of the Bun duty vt ith pto
vision for encouragement of home prodiietii.n,
they will be heartily sustained by constituent*
in disposing of the surplus in that way. ]]ni
I hey have no occasion to worry tlvcmsolves, if
the maiorltv gives them no rh-ince to propose
,r carry anything, and in?i,*f<* upon tariff rtv
luetion or no reduction of taxes. Republican!
:*an afford to go to the peonle on that issue.
RI CRIBER IiRIVlSG.
Two sceidents occurred on Friday which
vere caused by reckless driving. In one ol
hom a woman was killed outright, in another
, woman iva* oeriously injured. In both the
.rivers were entirely at fault. Accident* of
bis character are occurring conotantly. Few
f them reach the public's attention. Having
nocked p?"*ople down the drivers whip up
heir horse* and '-.scape the consequences of
hiir brutality. Mut it ii within everybody'* '
hHcrvalion that foot pasvugew aro contin
ally subjected to all kinda of annoyance and
anger fiom the stupid or malevolent condun ,
f oabuien, draymen and .^eot-car drivers ,
At tho ferries these outrages are particular^
numerous. Before the pawengers are well ofl
il..- boato, long before they have had Ki)
chance to cross the street* and separate upor
I heir various journeys, a long stream of cabs
and cart* comes out of tho slip almost on n
run, and nothing but painful alertness and
dexterity laves their lives.
This is all wrong and inexcu?able. The
Police Commissioners can stop it in a minute,
and they should promptly do so. A police?
man is supposed to lie stationed at each of the
ferry entrance**, and if be were under strict or?
ders to afford passengers an ample opportunity
move, and supposing he did his duty, thc situa?
tion would be much improved. It is really as
much as people's lives are worth to endeavor
to move across tho river streets at certain busy
hours of the day, simply because a lot of burly
drivers, safely ensconced high on their seats,
aro allowed to be as impudent as they please.
The same trouble is experience*d all along
Broadway and the Bowery. Es*)<*ciolly at tho
comers of Fulton-st., Wall-st., Canal-st. and
Broadway, and throughout the dry-goods dis?
trict, these dangers are thick. They have in?
creased alarmingly within the past year and are
, ni"" se*ions now than they have ever been
before. It is thc common experience of women
whon they have started to cross a street, with
gOOd na-on to think that the passage can bc
safely made, to hear a gruff cry from an ap?
proaching car or truck and to soo its driver
cleliliC'iaiily whip up his horses with no other
possible motive than sheer deviltry. He wants
to seo them run, and stands or sits at his place
and grins at their fright. Such incidents aro
tho subject of continual protest and complaint
in letters to the newspapers.
It is probably imo that tho police would be
unablo to put an entire stop to this kind of
perilous conduct. They cannot be everywhere
at tho BUM moment, nor follow every vehicle
in tho city on its route. But .hoy ian make it
so unpleasant for many of the drivei-s who dis?
regard public rights that the evil will be much
a' a"-d. The airest arid severn punishment of
a few of thom would ia ve a healthy moral
effect on all. The principal street corners and
tho ferries could be thoroughly protected, and
this of it-self would be a grateful relief. We
hope Mr. French and his colleague., will give
ihis subject their prompt attention. It Ma
become so formidable in its consequences that
they cannot ignore it without a disregard of
Lheir responsibility.
Mr. Bradlaugh leems to have baffled all the

acter which they recognize as smaoking of Brit?

There will be a blizzard in November, too.
The hoard of experts on tho enlargement of
Bridge traffic facilities devotes somo BpaOB in its
report to a ptoSS ut the matter on which its
views are sure to meet with popular approval.
These engineers hold that the Bridge railroad,
being the only line of public travel wholly under
tho control of the public authorities, ought to
set an example in tho matter of providing a seat
for every passenger. They well say that this Ls
" not a question fur tlie standing passenger to de
Bide, whether! bs prefers to stand rather (baa wail
(or the ant train.Ile baa aol tba ri*_ht
to enjoy this privilege at th*' expense of serious
encroachment on the rights of the [lassengers who
have preceded him and found seats, nor to compel
them to accept his views of comfort or necessity
as a standard of theirs.It Ls tho seated
passenger that not infrequently becomes tue great
t*st sufferer." This is obviously a sound princi?
ple. It ls pre-eminently proper for the only
railroad under control of the public to show the
nay in this reform. When the example is once
set in thus manner there may be some hope that
private corni anii s can be forced io show more
regard for the comfort of their fiat rons. A care?
ful estimate of the growth of Bridge travel made
hy tlie experts shows that In 1807 there will
bo carried annually over 90,000,000 passenger.,
against 28,'.38,549 in 1887. The number cf
cars per hour in the busiest parts of the day that
will be needed ten years hence, giving every pas?
senger a seat, ls 734; while the present capacity
with three-car trains ls 120 cars per hour, and
with four-car trains 1 CO cars per hour. lt is
apparent that the problem to bo 6olvcd is one
of extraordinary magnitude.
The shin which some members of the Iris!
Parliamentary Fund Association chartered te

Mr. Gould's careful observations of tlie work?
ings of the underground railways in
London showed him that no better
time is made on them than on our elevated
roads. He also pronounces them dnrk and stifling.
This experience accords with that of everybody
who has ridden on tlie London subterranean sys?
tem. There is not much usc of building under?
ground roads here unless they ar. to be run by
electricity or some other non-smoke-producing
agent; and the tunnel must bo constantly and
thoroughly ventilated and tho care lighted by
electricity, so that reading in thom will not only
be possible but easy. These are not too severe
conditions. Then, too, there must be high
rates of speed?rates, wtth express trains at

An interesting question as to tin- legality of
marriages performed by a B>fiSB8i clergyman Las
come up in Camden, 31. J. Some time before the
death of Bishop Stevens, of Philadelphia, he de
liosed the Kev. J. j. Sleeper from ihe Episcopal
ministry. Nevertheless Mr. Sleeper, who lives
In Camden, continued to unite couples In mar?
riage. The question now is whether under the
ls wi of New-Jersey th's* Euurriajrca Are legal.
Mr. Sloper of course clnlms that they are, and
in this claim he teems to be supported by certain
High Church Episcopal clergymen, who say that
as holy orders are Indelible, a marriage solemnized
by a deposed priest ls valid, although irregular,
ihe point it alto made thal many clergymen of
the Reformed Episcopal Church were deposed from
the ministry of the Kp*!, copal Church, but no one
ijuestiont their right to perform marri-gett. This, J
however, doe* not seem to be a fair argument,
hecaute, although deposed from Bm ministry of
mo denomination, these men Lave become duly
jualiii' el i ie igy me n in another deaocaination, and
bl re fore they do not officiate as di posed clergy
in ii ol tbe Epucointl Churoh, lint aa olurgymen io
toot etanding ol the -tefortatd ttpiooopal Cbarob.
Even on the theory of the indelibility of order
it doea not seem as though a deposed clerg>n_?
has the right to perform marriages; for depoi
tlon necessarily debars lum from tho exercise *
all his clerical functions. And the facilities f
getting married aro great enough already wit,
out resorting to this doubtful agency.

yet the Intonation of the band was all but faultles
and tlie splendid spirit of tlie conductor and his play
cr. mads up for th. loss In brilliancy of tono whirl
was unavoidable under the existing atmospheric con

which the orchestra is regarded hero that a numerous
audience braved the weathor to hear the mutio, the
greater part of which had figured on the programme
of earlier concerts given by local organizations thli
season, and not only listened to lt with rapt Interest
but gave lt tho tribute of sincere aud hearty applause,

" A I-ossmi.E CASK" WELL lU.'KlVKD.
Bydaei Booenteld, the author of the throe-act corn
edy, ?' A EHMatMa COM," which was produced last night
at tho Amphion Academy, Brooklyn, has made a novel
and daring experiment. Ile- koa iiiientloa.ellj- ,1 -
po used with probability, or even that semblance of that
which it lt almost Invariably tho aim of dramatic
writers to preserve, and has dealt only with POOtlbUttle*
so remote at to seem almost lniDosslbilitie.. In his
search ivfter tho most extraordinary complications
Whisk the conflicting marriage laws of tho ditleroin
Mates could allow to exist, he koa succ.eded in putting
upon the otago a man who lias two loyal wives, and a
wife who Las throo husband., thoueh tho legality of
tleoir status ls open to aue.tion. in ojder to accom?
plish these results ho has boen forced to deprive somo
of his characters of nearly all semblance to ordinary
human tiaturo, and to make one woman act in a manlier
that robs her of any sympathy In h"r subset'oe nt trials.
As tho author's principal aim seem, to have boen
to devise funny situations, lt must be couceded that
ho hat accomplished it. Many of the ,.cid<nis
OTOhSd tho hoarty laughlor of a largo and klndly-dls
1.*1 audience. That they also laughed at serious
situations was not their fault, as pathos is so mixed up
with comedy aa to bo ofton indstlniniishablo. In
many respect* the play lg fBSMBdlf clever, th-, con?
struction hoing, though necessarily artiflcal. often I li?
nen I out, aud thero is a liberal s_.nuiil.iig of Bright
linet. As was said at the outset, "A Possible Case"
is au experiment, and as it is one that defies all stand?
ards of criticism, the only verdict of any value upon
lt will be that of tho public. Judging from the rooeav
tlon last night, that verdict will bo favorable. Ti>o
acting was gouerully good, c..nodally that of M. A.
Kennedy, Vf. II. Thompson and Robert Milliard. Tho
setting wa* extremely beautiful, a tropical exterior In
the first act and a drawing room In Hie toeood being
rich, tasteful and appropriate. Tho dressing of tho
ladies was also handsome and in good taste.

THE PRINCE OF WALES'S LEVEE.
Tho levee on Wednesday was fairly well attended,
but there was no overcrowding. Ono or two loyal
subjects wore turned back by a pago in the first
corridor for neglecting to wear th') proscribed signt
of mourning for Ihe Emperor, an omission whicb
they promptly repaired by retreating to the shop ol
the nearest tailor. H. R. H., who looked remark,
ably well, entered the Throneroom Just after 2 o'clock,
accompanied by bit som and the Crown r ri nco ol
Denmark. An excellent Joke which Prince Eddie
seemed to bo heartily enjoying was unfortunately lost
on tho uninitiated. Eastern potentates for onco In
