Penny wise and Pound Foolish.

There is project on foot for the construc-
ton of tunnel under the Hudson River and
the wise men at Albany are, it appears, re-
quested by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to give the necessary legal sanction to the
enterprise 1t is of course proposed that by this
tunnel the city shall be put in direct railway
communication with New Jersey, and that the
enormous railway traffic which now concen-
trates at the Jersey side of the river, and is
there forced to resort to boats, shall come
directly here without quitting the cars.
People who take the trouble to consider the
effect such an enterprise would have on our
terminal facilities" can see at glance how
many serious problems this would solve to
our great advantage. But this, it seems, is
not the view OF 'the property holders"
They are recorded as against the tunnel and
as arguing that this easy access to Jersey
would carry into that land of light taxes
thousands Of residents now compelled to stay
in the city. These men have been sound
asleep for ten years. In all that time people
have been trooping out of the city to Jersey,
and at this moment access is so easy that one
may 90 from Wall street to point fifteen or
twenty miles out in Jersey easier than he can
90 to Twenty-third street by the street cars.
Access to Jersey for the people who go there
to live could scarcely be bettered by the tun-
mel, taking the year round; but the property
holders oppose now, as always, with stupid at
tention to some small immediate interest, the
great future advantages. In the same spirit
they have always persistently opposed every
good project for rapid transit. They will
probably defeat the tunnel, and yet this tun-
mel is the only thing that can prevent the
growth on the other side of the Hudson
River Of q vast city, which, in century
hence, will dwarf this badly governed me-

Governor Tilden and Mr.. Green.

1t is just possible that too much importance
will be given to Mr. Green in the controversy
now waging between the Mayor and the Gov
ernor There can be little doubt that the
Governors course is prompted by remem-
brance of his old relations with Mr. Green. 1t
is difficult to arrive at conclusion of this
kind SO far as Mr.. Tilden is concerned, for
we should prefer to regard him as q states
man beyond all sentiments Of personal relation
ship or affection when the public welfare is
concerned. But it seems that he is not above
the influences of bosom friendship. John
Kelly saw what came of this during the last
canvass, when he allowed bosom friendship to
so control his action as leader of Tammany
that he lost the Registership, and would have
lost the Mayoralty if the republicans had been
more anxious to combine against Tammany
and MIR. Creamer's organization had gone
earlier into the fed. Mayor Wickham's own
canvass was SO badly injured by the singular
faulty which permitted Mr. Kelly to yield to
personal preference for Jimmy Hayes,
Billy Walsh and statesmen of the Morrissey
school that but for the apathy and tardi-
ness of his opponents he would have been
defeated.
And it seems that the Governor sails
directly toward the same snag. He imperils
his administration to sustain Andrew II. Green,
his former pupil and legal associate. He
takes on his back the Old Man of the Sea he
indorses a weak, inefficient, obstinate official
who has not financial talent enough to take
charge Of the retail molasses department of
country grocery. He indorses financial adj
ministration which, while Boosting of econ
omy, piles debt upon debt and retards the
honest growth of the city. He becomes re-
sponsible for an Office that long since has
failed to govern the finances Of the city USE
fully And all because he will not remember
that his duty as Governor is paramount to the
obligations of bosom frien dship. The Gov
ernor should think. Of the fats that msnaced
John Kelly when he acted upon the theory
that John Morrissey and himself owned Tam
many, and through it the sutfrages of the
metropolis 1t is. mistake Governor Tilden
cannot afford to make, and we warn him of his
error in the spirit OF the truest trie ndship.
Samuel j. Tilden is not strong enough to
carry Andrew H. Green, and he should remem-
Der this before he falls in the effort.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-02-20

of note is the averment of Mr. Tilton that q
wife can be disloyal to her husband and at the
same time ''pure" and "white-souled." This
dogma is more dangerous to the peace of
society than any propounded by Mrs. Wood
hull and can never be accepted 1t is as fam
tastic as Mr.. Tilton's somewhat celebrated
theory that Mrs. Woodruff used to sit on the
roof of Murray Hill house and allow the
spirit OF Demosthenes to speak through her.
1t is sad comment upon the state of morals
engendered by Plymouth church.
But the great scandal goes on. One in
structive point of Mr.. Titon's evidence should
not be overwhelmingly, that he meant
to drive Mr.. Beecher out Of Brooklyn. and
that he will execute that purpose. 1t did not
come out in evidence whether Mr. Moulton
had any such purpose. But such declara-
ton is inconsistent with the generosity and
impulsive friendliness of Mr.. Moulton's
character. If the truth were known
it would probably appear that MIR.
Moulton is only waiting for a verdict
condemning MI. Beecher to 'rehabilitate"
the Plymouth pastor. These are ali very,
very peculiar people, A husband learns that
he has been wronged and says nothing about
it for months. lie swears that her very crime is
an evidence of high religious feeling and not
inconsistent with purity of SOUL A clergyman
seduces one lady member of his church, and
will not be comforted until he can find another
lady to whom he can confess his sin. More
over, by the law the husband can swear that his
wife is on adulteress and the clergyman can
swear that she bears false witness, but the
woman can say nothing. A more unjust law
than that which opens the mouth Of Mr. Tilton
and closes at the same time the lips of his wife
cannot be imagined. But the scandal has be-
come SO painful and deplorable that its exist
ence is worse than an Egyptian plague, and
we should all pray for the end

Nr. Samuel Plimsoll is q member of Par
lament who has long cherished q special
hobby. i. For some time he has believed that
their business in utter disregard of the happi-
ness and even thelives Of their sailors. He
has written books and pamphlets, made
speeches and defended himself in actions
for libel brought against him by shipowners.
A man, we believe, of large means, he has
given his life and his income to this one work
We can obtain an idea of what he has done
and proposes to do from speech delivered
recently at the Trades Union Congress in
Liverpool In this speech he said that twelve
actions for libel had been brought against
him, that three he had defended, while nine
had not been pressed He censured the
Board Of Trade for not taking more care to
prevent the overlooking of ships. Much good
had been done by two acts which had
been passed in 1871 and 1873, but there
were still many abuses. He alluded to
one case where four ships loaded with
railroad iron had been allowed to-
sail in such condition that there was very lit
tie hope of their reaching their destination,
which was "a horrid shame" He cited
case in which vessel registering only 1,010
tons was allowed to sail with 1885 tons of
coal land she went down with twenty
mon and drowned every one of them" In
the winter of 1874. 1913 vessels, sailing from
English ports, had been lost with all hands
on board. This he considered an improve
ment, as the weather was unusually bad and tho
decrease was thirty-six compared with the num-
Der that went down in 1873. He complained
Of the manner in which the British seamen
are treated The men were housed worse
than dogs. They were "fed with provisions
that pig would turn up its nose at" They
were sent to prison by magistrates who were
shpowners in many cases without appeal.
The consequence was that the English seamen
had deteriorated. and this because the ship
owners drowned the good men so fast
The result of MIR. Plimsolls speech was that
the Congress passed resolutions to support his
legislation and to address a memorial to Mr..
Disraeli The fact that in this nineteenth
century there should be agitation of the quos-
ton whether English seamen are deliberately
drowned for motives of avarice is a startling
commentary on the civilization Of our time.

The KITCHEN SERVICE in this city is &C.
knowledged to be the worst in the world, and
yet we doubt whether it is possible to reform

has exhibited marriage is too highly priced

service desirable. In this is the real
difficulty. It is difficult to get kitchen girls
at all because most of them are soon able to
have Kitchens of their own; and 80 the ladies

In the travels of CULVER we read of two
parties who quarrelled upon the principle
whether eggs should be broken OF the little
or big end. We are reminded of this in read
ing the elaborate correspondence between
Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Wickham. It recalls the
debate reported in the HERALD of last
Sunday, in our travesty of the Beecher trial,
where learned attorneys, like General Tracy
nnd General Pryor, were made to discuss the
value of pork and beans upon the intellect of
the jurymen. Here are five columns of letters
which soy ''you must and '.you must moi"
and nothing more. The arguments could not
have been more elaborate and prctentous if
the issue had been the Alabama claims or the
Schleswig- Holstein question. There was no
point in the discussion. Why should not the
Mayor send his manuscripts of evidence to
the Governor, and as many more manu-
scripts as the Governor required? What
harm could come from granting the Gov
ernor's request? The Governor was wrong
in wasting SO much time on a small matter
The Mayor was wrong in attacking wind
mills with all the learning displayed by An
drew Johnson in defending the constitution,
and all the enthusiasm of Don Quixote and
his descendant, Bergh, in assailing wind
mills. If the Mayor and Governor had had
true courage, and the proper appreciation Of
the duties of the heads of a party going into
power with solemn responsibilities, they
would have removed the heads of all depart
ments not in sympathy with the new govern
ment The Mayor would have been sur
rounded by officials to whom he would have
been what the President is to his Cabinet.
This would have been best for the city, the
State and the party much better for Mr..
Wickham and Mr.. Tilden.
It is arguing q self-evident proposition to
present this. The true point is clear. The
city should be managed as merchant man
ages his private business. The merchant
surrounds himself with men he can trust,
who will do him honest service and strengthen
his business. The Mayor should do the
same. He cannot govern New York in any
other way. The Governor should recognize
the right of the Mayor to have useful men
around him-men who possess his confidence.
This is the kernel of s'home rule" one of the
principles upon which Mr.. Tilden was elected,
and which he cannot abandon now without
injuring his party and his administration.
