THE ENGLISH POLAR EXPEDITION special
despatch to the HERALD from London con-
tans important news to all who are interested
in Arctic discovery. A motion has been made
in Parliam ent for the postponement for one
year of the Polar expedition now being organ
lied by the British Admiralty, in order that
the Austrian and other governments may
cooperate. 1t is probable that Parlia-
ment vii! act upon this suggestion, as
the advantages OF such course As Mr. Reed
proposes are obvious. The chances of success
would be much greater if several govern
ments should agree upon plan for reaching
the Pole. instead OF depending upon isolated
efforts. II is to be hoped, for the sake of
American science, that the United States, IN
case Mr. Reeds motion is carried, will join in
the international undertaking.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-02-18

A bill has been introduced into the Assembly
by Mr.. Smith, of New York, in reference to
rapid transit 1t provides for special cleo
ton to decide upon plans and estimates for
the road, which are to be prepared by the
Society of American Engineers in conjunction
with the Engineer-in-Chief of the Department
of Public Works, and to be approved by the
Chamber of Commerce, the Society of En-
gineers, the Cheap Transportation Association
and the Common Council before being SUBJ
mitted to the people. The general feature of
this bill seems to be good one, with the ex-
ception that any measure OF rapid transit that
is to be approved by as many bodies as is
here provided will be apt to perish from
neglect. What plan the Society of American
Engineers, the Chamber of Commerce and the
Cheap Transportation Association can all pos
sibly agree upon in the way of rapid transit
we cannot imagine. We believe that
the best way to accomplish rapid
transit is for the Mayor and the Gov
ernor to take the thing directly in hand Let
them agree upon plan, and the people will
be sure to approve of it. We should oil trust
the judgment of sound-minded business man
like the Mayor and far-seeing, ingenious
statesman like the Governor on question upon
which SO much has been said and so much
is known, and which, after oil, is simple in its
character. The trouble in our country is that
many great measures are destroyed by talk.
ut seems to me-, said Carlyle, ''as il the
finest nations of the world, the English and
the Americans, were going all off into wind
and tongue;' and the trouble with much of
our rapid transit discussion is that it is wind
and tongue. We have very little confidence
in the practical wisdom or the efficiency of the
American Engineers Society or the Cheap
Transportation Association What we want
is something done, and the Governor and the
Mayor are the men who can and should and
must do it.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-02-18

If any fact is more definitely understood
than another, so far as pavements are con-
cerned, it is that the project to poultice Fifth
avenue, or to disfgure it by any chemical
composition in the way Of a pavement, meets
neither the wishes of the people who live on
the avenue nor the public generally, to whom
Fifth avenue is public highway. Already
a remembrance has been presented against the
proposal to allow it to be covered with asphalt,
signed by the best citizens Of the avenue As
this avenue is to be paved by the taxpayers,
however, the reason for this being that it is q
public highway to the Park, the special objec-
ton Of those who live on it should be re-
ceived with reserve. Our opposition to the
proposition to poultice the avenue is not based
so much on the wishes of the residents as for
the good of the people. We have had already
many of our streets ruined by experiments in
wood, asphalt and tar. Let any curious
citizen walk from Delmonicos to Central
Park, through Seventh or Eighth avenue,
and up and down the cross streets, and he
will see the lamentable results of these ex-
periments. Let him study the pavement
around the Worth Monument, which is held
up as model for Fifth avenue. Let him go
into the Reservoir PARK and see the pave
ments which were carefully prepared under
the reign of the Ring empire from chemical
recipes. He will then see just what it Is pro-
posed to do with Fifth avenue, and he can
not resist the conclusion that to cover this
avenue with substance which will crack in
winter and melt in summer, and which is un-
fitted for our treacherous and extreme climate,
is simply to throw money away. Let us have
plain, substantially built Macdamized road,
and it will satisfy not only those who live on
the avenue. but the people of New York, VINO
are compelled to use it when they visit the
Park.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-02-18

Costigan bill should receive his approval. We
ask attention to one or two pertinent quota
tons from that document. The keynote OF
that part of the Message was struck in this
sentence: -"All the invasions of the rights OF
the people of the city of New York to choose
their own rulers and to manage their own
aftairs-which have been practical denial OF
self-government for the last twenty years
have been ventured upon in the name Of re-
form, under apublic opinion created by abuses
and wrongs of local administration that found
no redress" The Governor then went on to
expose the capital defect in all our recent city
charters in this striking language:-"lt is
long since the people Of the city Of New York
have elected any Mayor who has had the ap-
pointment, after his election, of the impor-
tant municipal officers. Under the charter OF
1870, and again under the charter Of 1873, the
power of appointment was conferred on o
Mayor already in Office. There has not been
an election in many years in which the cleo
tive power of the people was effective to pro-
duce any practical results in respect to the
heads Of departments in which the actual
governing power really resides"
We beg that this significant complaint
against the charters of 1870 and 1873 may be
duly weighed It cuts from beneath the Gov
ernor every inch of ground on which he might
hope to stand in opposing the Costigau bill.
When Governor Tilden prepared his Mes
sage he was of the opinion that the people are
entitled to change the whole personne, OF the
executive administration in every election OF
Mayor He said, very justly, that "the actual
governing power really resides in the heads
of departments, and regarded it as great
wrong to the people that their choice Of
Mayor is made fruitless of practical results by
the fact that the heads of departments ap-
pointed by his predecessors continue to hold
their Offices in spite both of him and of the
people who elected him. The effect of the
Costigan bill would be to clothe the Mayor
with that control of the city administration
of which Governor Tilden so strongly asserted
the importance in his Message. When he
wrote the Message lie was a strenuous advo-
cate of the right of the people to change the
whole body of administrative officers in every
Mayoralty election. The Costigan bill would
merely put in the hands Of Mayor Wickham
power which the Governor maintained that
every Mayor ought to possess, in pursuance OF
the right of the people to change the whole
body of their local officers in every election.
On principle, and judged by his own recent
official declarations, Governor Tilden is bound
to give his hearty assent to the bill whose
passage through the Legislature he is exerting
himself to defeat The warm language pointed
at him by some of the democratic speakers in
the Assembly yesterday should convince him
that he is playing dangerous game and that
his course is calculated to divide and disor.
ganize the democratic party Of the State.
