Some of our contemporaries print interest
ing articles in reference to the cheap homes in
many Of our cities, more especially in Phila-
delphia. We have before US most interest
ing description of Philadelphia building asso-
Citations, which practically enable mechanic,
by paying $12 30 o month, to become the
owner Of his home Philadelphia is remark
able among cities for this development of
comfort and independence, and has frequently
been called ''the city Of the poor man
home" The reproach that has fallen upon
New York-that it is city of millionnaires
and beggars; that there is no opportunity for
large, industrious, laboring class to obtain
homes at rates within their incomes should
be removed This can only be done by rapid
transit Philadelphia, like London and Paris
is in the centre of an open country and may
extend in ali directions. New York, hemmed
in by river and sea, has only one path of
growth-toward Westchester. Let Us have
rapid transit from the densely built city to
the country lying around New Rochelle,
Yonkers and Fordham-surpassed by no Sec
ton for beauty, salubrity and natural attrac-
tions-and it would instantly become opened
up by capitalists, who would build homes for
the poor like those we see in Philadelphia.
Therefore this great boon to the poor which
Philadelphia presents in such O remarkable
degree can only be gained for New York by q
system of rapid transit.

MAYOR WICKHAM AND THE COMPTROLLER
Mayor Wickham on Saturday returned several
warrants to the Comptroller, with instructions
to complete and date them before they were
sent to him for his countersignature. This is
O very proper requirement Heretofore the
Comptroller has sent undated warrants for
the Mayors signature and has then withheld
them from those in whose favor they have
been drawn for as long time as he chose.
When warrant is countersigned by the
Mayor it is complete, and should be paid at
once. But these are only picayune details in
the important matter of financial reform. It
is waste of time to lop off the branches of o
rotten tree. Better uproot the tree itself
and cast it out. Mayor Wickham loses eme
unwisely by delaying for an hour the official
notice of his intention to remove Mr.. Green.
The people want the substance, not the
shadow, of financial reform, and they de-
mand it at the outset Of the new administra-
ton.

The MADRID REPUBLICAN CABINET AND THE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. Through our Wash
ington correspondence we learn Of action
which was taken by the Cabinet Of the late
Spanish Republic upon becoming cognizant of
that part of the Presidents Message relating
to Cuba. A circular note of inquiry was imme-
diately despatched to the other European
Powers, asking if they intended to join the
United States in interfering with the affairs of
Spain in Cuba. The response from Great
Britain was prompt and interesting, but it is
not known that any other answers were yet
received at the date OF the letter. Great Britain
was particularly amiable in the tone of her COM
munication, being still flushed with the self
satisfaction caused by the Spanish contribution
20 her Golfers. She disclaimed any intention or
disposition to become party to interfer-
ence in the war in Cuba. Thus the United
States inadvertently receives an unasked for
warning, which conveys with it somewhat Of a
humiliating lesson. A conviction of the slow
going character Of our policy may have had
much to do with this answer Of the English
Ministry to the note OF Spain, and our evil
dent lack of spirit and preparation precluded
any prospect of q vigorous and Successful
prosecution of the project Of Intervention.
The information is also obtained that Great
Britain is satisfied with settlement of her
VirQinius claims, which was also profered to
our government. but has not vet been &C

The Reecher Case.

From all that we can gather the Beecher
case will enter upon trial to-day. Both
sides seem to feel the pressure of that public
opinion which demands that the matter should
end. There will be some difficulty in obtain
ing jury, as few reasonable and thinking
people in Brooklyn have failed to express an
opinion upon the case. The decision Of the
Court refusing O bill of particulars to MIR.
Beecher would, it was thought, postpone the
trial. That gentleman's lawyers have wisely
accepted the situation. The case now goes
into Court with all the advantages on the side
of Mr.. Tilton, so far as scope and freedom of
evidence are concerned. If be does not
prove his case, unfettered as he is, it will be
because it does not admit of proof There
have been no new developments as to testi-
mony. The Statements" ON either side tell
about all that is known. The problem now
will be to carry the evidence in these state
ments before a jury. AS our readers under
stand, this is an action for damages, in which
Mr.. Tilton is plaintiff There are several
other actions. One is criminal indictment
against Mr.. Titon for libel. If Mr.. Beecher
is beaten in the civil suit this will hardly be
pressed. Should he win there will probably
be a speedy trial of the indictment. There is
also an indictment against Mr.. Moulton for
libelling Miss Proctor. This has not been
Withdrawn or settled, as has been generally sup
posed, the settlement only affecting the civil
suit 1t will also be tried. There is libel
suit against the Eagle on the part of MIR.
Titon and another against the Graphic by
Miss Proctor.
Should Mr.. Beecher be defeated in the civil
action there will no doubt be an end of oil
these legal proceedings. For that gentle
man guilt or innocence is the main point OF
issue. Should Mr.. Tilton be defeated there
will be suits enough to employ the courts for
year or two

the same and the carpet-baggers would
rejoice. for they would thereby gain another
year in which to complete their work o.
spoiation and misrule. In this view of the
case we exceedingly regret that the White
League is to assemble at all to-day. If they
are ont Of the way of any conflict,
though great wrongs may be perpetrated,
no conflict can ensue. This we are
assured is their intention, and as the 'promi-
nent officers of the organization took the
pains last night to assure the country through
the HERALD that they intended taking no part
In the proceedings of the day We are per-
suaded that even a radical conspiracy may
not be able to precipitate q conflict at the
same time that We fully recognize the danger
OF the situation and tremble at the POSSIBLE
ties to which the slightest incident may lead.
Apart from the delicacy and danger of the
situation the proper course for the people Of
New Orleans and Louisiana to pursue in this
crisis is plain. There is no overwhelming
necessity for resistance now; indeed, there is
less reason for a resort to violence at this time
than there was last September, notwithstand-
others At that time radical supremacy was
unimpaired Since then, however there has
been political revolution and what seemed
uncertain, almost impossible, is now secure
by the will of the people. Everything is
changed, and the victory Of last year is likely
to be repeated this and the next. Violence is
the only thing which can turn the tide back
again by galvanizing old party cries into life.
The people of New Orleans cannot fail
to recognize the fact that a civil con-
fict is the thing most desired by their
enemies in the North, for the reason that it
would lose them the sympathy that is now SO
thoroughly with them and with the conserva-
tives of the South. We have shown them that
even their enemies in Louisiana would be
benefited by it. In addition, We have
pointed out to them what they would
lose in the certainties of the future
by the adoption of an unfortu-
nate policy at this time. This is not really
the crisis of their fate. That was passed last
November. They may still have some ills to
bear, but bearing them they have only to wait
and all will be we'll After all they have suf-
fered, after the wonderful alacrity they
showed in September in evincing their ODE
dience to the federal authority, after earning
as much by their fortitude as their wrongs
the sympathies of the country it is
not possible that they will deliberately
adopt o suicidal policy and so lose
all. We prefer to disbeieve in the dangers
which surround them, delicate as the situa-
ton confessedly is, and we accept their as
surances as words which mean something
more than promises made to be broken. We
have seen that they were able to keep their
word in the past, when there was not so much
reason to be hopeful as there is to-day, and
though we await events with anxiety we are
not without hope and trust.

The New GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN seems to
be getting under Roadway, and there are
promises of speedy recognition by the Euro
pean Powers and even by the United States.
As Secretary Fish recognized the Republic as
soon as it was fairly on its legs it is assumed
that he will do the like by the rehabilitated
Kingdom. 1t would be good thing to do as
it would fix the precedent for recognitions of
existing governments as often as the Spaniards
desire it.
