THE Ml SIC1PAL DE HATE.
If the- municipal election nc\t November !s to
be catrlad (SJf the adv?cales of good government,
Who bailer? tiiar tbe separation of municipal
from National politica le an essential preliminary
to the iuvoiuplislum-nt of the rad !n view, ihere
?vili have to he a ?zre-it in t? y CDiicessioiit. made
on all hands, and some vi.ry prominent, influ?
ential and .ii'tivo persons, whose earnestness and
conscientious??!"?? are beyond question, will find
it necessary to sacrifi?"?? their preconceptions,
pr?judices and prepossessions for the saU?? of the
G??!1??'. In view of this obvious necessity <i!l
zeus who 11 it only have positive conviction? upon
aieasnres ,'iiid in *n. but hii?-e the habit also of
pivins them dogmatic expr?\sslon without reser?
vation or restraint, will do well to put I check
on th.ir exuberance. In the effort to estiihii?!!
the new order "f tilings a large body of voter?
who have no bond of political union and no
point of contact, but who hare hitherto lieen
widely separated and hostile to each other, must
be bronfhi together and persuaded to nor har
nioniou-ly and co-operate forth?? common cause.
Old diff?rence? will have to be laid aside, and
personal dlallkee kept in abeyance, if nut en
tlrely ??,?p??????: men who have fought ?gainst
?ach other must forget former hostility and it??
can- s ?nd line themselves up against ilio com?
mon foe. This is the important tiling t<> be
borne in mind in the discuss.on of policies, nieih
od> and candidates antecedent to organized
action. All other considerations aie subordi?
nate to the necessity tor unity and co-operation.
AD this has been said before, but the occa?
sion is so Important, the Deceesitj for harmo?
nious action so obvious, and the danger of
fatal blunders thr.itigh ov, rzeal and lack of tuet
go constantly recurrint:, that it cannot be too
often r? peated. The discussion at Ite present
Btage r?'lat?-s almost entirely to candidat?*?, lis
OBt'filiniaaj appears in the fact that it has already
brought to public attentUm a number of nsnies
of Influential citizens, tvhos?. merita nnd qual?
ifications will undergo whotoome scrutiny in
the interval betw?*?n this time nnd ihe calling
of the convention for making formal nomina?
tions. Thht Is both fining nnd proper. It ac?
cords ?with the purp?'?.'- of the movement and tlie
sentiment thnt animates it; Its objective being
?he establishment of a sysum of munkipal gov?
ernment In which all ihe paogde have really a
rolce. in contradistinction to the old and dis
credited system In which a few machine man?
agers selected the candidates without consulta?
tion with the voters or opportunity for debate.
Nor is It a bad sign that politicians who are not
citizens of the new municipality are raking nn
Interest and participating In rhe general debate
now on. The contributions of Messrs. Platt, of
Owego; Kassen, of Klmira. and Hackeit, of
l'tlca, certainly do no harm, but add to tlie
liveliness ?>f lh?* discTisslon. Their views are
inter?-r?ting, oven if they do not much illumi?
nate th.? situation.
Whnt Is most ni'oseary to guard against Is
to?? early and loo jMisliivei e?iiiiinlttals on the
<jii?-?xt:on of candidates Off ihe polkf fo be pur?

already said, a great nafta/ <vnci sgJOTM must bg

THE HIGH schools.
Tho Governor having signed tlie hill author
Mag ? bond issue rjf $2,000,000 for the egtnbilsb*
mont of four high schools in this city, in? ma?
terial (?hstnolo remala* in tho way of that edu?
cational advaneo. 1 be opposition which ao long
availed to prevent tbe inclusion <?G high schools
In our system of public instriicii.ui has not en?
tirely fllaappeared, nor can it ???? expected to do
so until a fair trial shall hav?? ?-indicated the
wisdom of the new departure. This is true not
merely because so strenuous a coni.-niion is not
ensily aliandone?!, hut ?No because then ll
forep 1n the arguments of those who hohl that
high schools, at least In New-York, whk-b afford?
numerous opportunities for advanced students
and rapporta a free college, aro noi in con?
formity wirh a reasonable view of what the gen?
eral welfare requires nnd the public treasury
can properly provide. It has been earnestly and
sincerely maintained that a large sum of money
ought not to be exacted from taxpayers to fur?
nish educational facilities which only a Binali
minority can take advantage of; that the com?
munity has done enough when It has supplied
all with tho moans of a nound grainmar-srlnx?.
education, and that those who laudably desire
more than that should not bo enabled to obtain
it at the general expens??.
Tf It were true that high schools benefited only
those who attorni them, this argument might
be conclusive. Hut they are rot gdTOCated alto?
gether or even primarily on that ground. Thej
are defended n?t a legitimate and an eeaentlal
part: of the public-school aratela for the reason
that when they are so conducted as to perform
their true function they are like the keystone
of an arch, which binds lis fellow-membera to?
gether and is Indispensable to the rapport of
the superstructure. It Is a commonly kCCepted
fact in other cit-cs that the high school is very
far from being a mere ornament of the educa?
tional establishment, which COtdd be displaced
without disturbing the parts below It or the ?o
cial fabric nbive. There it is valued nut wholly
for Its own sake, but chiefly for the Influen?a
which it exerts in malntaininz a standard. It
Is nn object of general pride, promoting Interest
and ambition in lower grades and In tho com?
munity at large.
There Is no obvlou?*, reason why similar re?
sults should not follow the establishment of high
schools In Now-York, pTOTlded only that they
.ire kept wholly above the reach of unworthy In?
fluences. Thus far tho school authorities have
evinced not only tho (letcrmlnatior, but the Ca?
pacity, to regtet pressi?.?' in support of the claim
that they ought not to go outside of New-York
for high-school principals. Their view is that
we want the beai principals we can get, and that
qualifications airead; denonatrated (hould dic?
tate the choice. We hope they will adhere to
that sound posit lor..
NOT FOR GREENBACK RETIREMENT.
Chairman 1>1?_1??.? has made himself the tar?
get for much abuse by a truthful stateli.?nt.
Finding himself quoted In the Hous.?, <?n lb?
authority of "new Jouraalten." as declaring
that It was the policy of ihe lb publh-an part/,
after aecnrlng adequate revenue "to Imp.cm 1
the greenbacks," bo ?innouneed that he had sni.l
DO such thing, nini hoped batter authority would
l?e fourni in the future for any remarks. The
cbatnnaa probably did not reflect that be ex?
pose?! himself by this gtatetnenl of facts, not
merely to the wrath of any who had mterepre
aented him, but also to the malevolence nf that
active and noisy faction which Is every day
trying to bully the Prealdent into some declara?
tion hostile to The ptatfonn of his party nnd to
his own assurances when a candidato.
Il se? ms necessary to repeal, n??t for the first
time, that the lleyubllear party is In no way
pledged or committed to the retirement of th"
legal-lender circulation, nor to ihe scheme for
appointment of ? monetary commteak n. Thoae
who are perpetually making that assertion have
surely but Beauty care of their reputation for
voracity. For If has been pointed out many
times that the Republican National platform
contains no pledge of the sort, DOT the gllghtesl
Indication of auch a purpose; thai do individual
member of the party had power to make for It J
a pledge differing from that Of a National con?
vention, and that Prealdent McKinley himself
showed no disposition u fav.u- aucb ? policy,
but ?>i. the contrary dlatlnctly declared it th.?
policy ?f the party to maintain In tts<- and as
good as gold all the paper In circulation.
There has been inci-.-saiilly at work I-?''?' soni.?

ELECTRICITY o\ STEAM ROADS.
Prealdenl Clarfc of Ihe Criisolidated Road has
kept his (nomise, made se?eral weeks ago, to
demonstrate in tlie vicinity of Hartford th??
feasibility of eteCtrk* traction en existing steam
roads. Tin? importance of this achievement -
which, hy the way. was a gratifying suecos
will he better appreciated \vh?-n one recalls the
difference between the conditions existing In
the Delfbborbood ?>f the romice!icui capital and
ih..-..? along the Nantaakri Branch, where the
Oonaolhlated Coinpanj made Ita eariier experi?
menta In the one case there was no particular
ooinpelitlon, and the tests were mad?? only in (In?
spiri! of investigation, with an eye to the tatara.
In the oilier instance an old establish???! steam
line was threatened with the loss of a lucrati??,
boataeaa through the eatgbllabaienl of rival trol?
ley road?. Tliis sort of thing has h??en goinir on
to a great extent ? it only in Connecticut, hut
all over the couniry. durine 1 lu? last fJTg years,
and yet the managen of ihe suffering corpora?
tions have been snrpnsinel.v slow lo iiccept the
advice of electrical expert?, and to light tlie
devil wlih Are,
The New Haven people, bowerer, have not
only shown a disposition tO a?'f OB this suirge??.
tlon, but have discot red tli.it an old steam road
enjoys a distinct advantage over tlie trolley. In
?.? ing alile io derlre Ita rorreo! through a third
rail. Trolley cars run on open highway?, and
therefore must tesori to the overhead wire,
which, with Its elaboralo system of poles, brack?
ets, cross suspension wires and insulators, costs
miK'h more than an extra rad. Rut the tracka
of the steam mails are fenced in, and if any in?
truder gels hurt by Stepping on th?? third rail
he has himself to thank for it. Re has no right
there, and tho company warns him agallisi such
danger ?is may exist DJ pulling up placards In
proper placea.
Siili, It is only at street crossings Hnd at sta?
tions that this peril need he considered, and here
it can heobrlated in several ways. Boards may
be Bet up on edge, on either side of the rail, just
high enoin/h to prevent wagon wheela or horses'
hoofs from Coming in contact with the metal, or
the rail may be discontinued for ft distance of
thirty 0V forty feet, an extra shoe on tlie rear
car picking up the current until the fronl CAT
has passed the gap and has restored ihe connec?
tion. Several other simple and effective ways of
dealing with tlie dMBculty have been devised.
Hitherto the use of tho third rail lias been
confined to such structures as the Brooklyn
Bridge and the Chicago elevated road?, but but
veav's experiments on the Xaiitasket Branch
?bowed that it can he safely employed on In?
closed surface lines. The New-Haven Company
is planning, therefore, to apply the system to
the Immense snlnirhan business centring nt the
proponed new Union station in Boston; the Il?
linois Central folks are disposed to try It in the
vicinity of Chicago, and the Bt I.ouls Terminal's
management Is credited with a similar purpose,
There is room for Improvement in certain de?
tails, perhaps: hut rhe technical part of the prob?
lem of electric trai tlon on steam roads needs
scarcely another (bonghi It is only the eco?
nomic qneatloa which managers of such lines
bare now to conalder.
EXCESSES AND TAXES.
' The crowth of National expenditure?, espe?
cially in Qreal Britain, Fran???? and the I'nited
States, furnishes the tert for a somewhat pessi?
mistic, ?ir at hast foreboding, article In "The
Specialor" of London. Within the memory of
men now liring, WO are reminded, every Item
of expenditures wan carefully scanned, and
Americana, rejoicing in freedom from direct
Federal taxation, regarded a National debt ns
unfavorably as a huge standing army. The
rase now aeema, to thla writer, radically
changed. National expenditure? ar?* swelled to
figures thai naif a century ago would bare l"*en
deemed Intolerable^ and they are steadily In?
creasing. Concurrently Dew forms and higher
rates of taxation are Imposed, and the end is not
yei In Bight What the end ?vili be is prob?
lematic; perhaps financial revolution.
To one-half of the complaint, the answer Is
raggeeted In this same article. The growth of
wealth has been greater than thai ?if expend?
tures. A remark attributed to Speaker Bead cov?
ers tin* case, in response to a charge of Congrna
s.onal extravagance, be said: "Yea, it was a bill
"lon-dolh-r Congress; but then lliis is a billlon
"dollar couniry." Tlie increase of expenditures
now over thoae Of a generation ago may Beam
startling Bui compare n with the increase in
wealth, and It seems small. You may reckon
the increase in any way and by any standard
you pleas,? by tin? total or by the nverage
wealth of flu Nation, by Ihe Dumber and size of
?;!.:u individua! and corporate fortunes, hy the
a a ues of workingraen, by tbe sums in agringa
banks-?tbe result is ih?? same in all cases. If
the rich man's fortini?? has been trebled and the
poor man's wage? trebled, neither will object if
the legitimate expenditures of the Nation have
been doubled? Tlie question is imi how much or
how little ili" Nation shall spend, but whether or
? DOl it is properly expended, and whether or not
an adequate rerenue can be raised without bur?
dening ih?? people.
The writer in "The (Spectator*1 Ihlnks the chief
??aus.? of increased expenditure? in thi?? coun?
try is to be found In the pension roll, and won?
ders how ioni; Americana will submit to having
all tblnga they DM taxed by a protective tariff
for bethink? they are about to realize Sydney
Smith's \?trinile portrayal of taxation under a
diametrically opposite system. Well, there are
, r.ot a few in the United stabs ?vho would rather
1 pay pensions t.. deserring reteruna of a past
| war than to hire huge standing armies io men
? ace unir neighbor? with tatara wars. Ami
there are qq* a few In England who a?lmit thai
under the American System the protectlr? tariff
Is a tax not up m the doni.?silo consumer, but
upon th?? foreign producer and competitor.
: Americana have not vet accented the quondam
i Britlab doctrine that a National debt is a Nn?
in?nal blessing. Their policy is to pay off their
I debt steadily and rapidly, and the only time in
the last score of year? when they hav?? departed
? fi?.ni thai policy lias I.u while ihny have been
suffering under an imposition of would lie Hrlt
; inh eagariea of finance.
What Americana do object to in taxation Is
the adoption nf t),.? burdensome and Inquisitorial
un thuds resorted lo by the war ridden nations
Of Europe. ? hey wain rn. prying, perjury -Inspir?
ing income tax. They warn no ?tamped paper
now any more than their anceatora did a century
nnd a quarterage Thej do do! want th?? vehicles
in which ihey rid?? taxed according to the number
of their wheels, or the bonaee la which ihey live
according to the numb? ? of their doors and ?vin
dows. Tbcj would siibuili to til????? thing?M ???

Ihey prefer the (food old ?'.institutional system,
I ut Into practical execution by almost the tlrst
act of the Brat Cottmrttm, of raising revenue by I
lerylnf a custom?? tariff upon Imported goods
which eotue into competition wlih domestic
product??. Under thai system tbe? paid o?r their ;
debt at an unparalleled rate and enjoyed a pros j
parity that ?vas the admiration and envy of tao
world, and they are quite ?vllllng lo worry along |
under It for bonio time uiur? There Is .cully I
some hope for them, even If they are paying
peMtOM and levying a tariff on l,rltlnli goods.
.1 MODERS CARTHAGE!
It i? the Cern?an F.mporor who Is-responsible?
for tho phrase and who is iWt^lited with atiibl
tion for executing the plan. As a lad he was
never I ?red of speculai ing <>n what would be?
come of Carthage If Pickelhaube and Red
Breeches ahonld march together what woui.i
become of Kngland. that Is to say. If i.cnnany
and France should unite against her. As a man
and an Kmperor he is. apparently, devoting his
host energies to tho formation of ?neh a league
indeed, of a universal alliance -which shall
crash Great Britain and partition her Empire,
making him. of course. King of the United King?
dom In his grandmother's place, to which dignity
he eonsiilers himself, rather than the Prince of
Wales, the lawful heir, ns th?? oldest son of the
Queen's oMost child. To tho workings of thin
ambition are t<> be attributed his amazing exhibi?
tions of fonigli policy in China and Japan. In
South Afri<\i. and In Turkey ami Greece; his
persistent antagonism t?? Greai Britain and to
every British interest, and his desperate zeal for
enormous naval expansion. "Carthago ridonda
est" appears lo be the Alpha and Omega of his
icbemee and ins desires.
The most obvious answer to it all Is that
Pickelhaube and Red Rreei'hes will not march
together. The one might be willing so to do.
The other is not willing, an?! will n??t be, neither
In this generation nor the next. The reason is
.1 tangible and an Insurmountable one, expressed
in two words ?Irace-Lorralne. Not while the
