Speaker Hustsa and Rapid Transit
Mr.. Hustled, besides being among the
ablest presiding officers who have ever filed
the office of Speaker at Albany, is also one
OF the best Legislators for this section of the
State which he in part represents, except in
matters which have party bearing. The
cause of rapid transit, for example, is more
indebted to him than to any other indi-
vidual, and herein his zeal conduces IS much
to the prosperity Of his immediate West
chester county constituency as to the pros
perity of New York city itself The value OF
every square rood of land in westchester is
enhanced by the growth of this city and by
increased facilities of travel and communica-
ton between the two. Westchester county
is to be congratulated that she has a repre-.
sentative so attentive to her interests and
who does her SO much honor by the very
able manner in which he discharged thu
duties Of Speaker in the late session;
and the tender of such congratulations
can como from no other source so ap-
propriately as from New York, whose
growth is necessarily in that direction. We
must not be understood a. approving the
course of Mr.. Hustled as partisan, and,
least of all. as indorsing the coalition be-
tween the Custom House and Tammany, in
which he is said to be implicated. But JUS
tice constrains us to say that in non-partisan
matters he is one Of the most useful men,
bers sent in recent years from this part Of
the State. He was the author of the Rapid
Transit bill, under which preparations went
on SO successfully during the last year; and
when distractions were thrown in the way
few weeks ago by proceedings in the courts
he prepared bill to cut the controversy
short and came very near carrying it through
the Assembly. Had he been supported by
all the members from this city he would
have succeeded. We trust that Westchester
county may long be represented by mem
bers who have the same intelligent percep-
ton Of the connection of its prosperity with
that of New York city.

THEY are having some tall walking in
London. Fourteen English pedestrians are
contending for purse Of five thousand
dollars. and one of them, named Vaughan,
walked his one hundred miles in ten minutes
less than O'Leary's famous time. Probably
London will soon get about as tired of these
pedestrian fcats as New York is.

In THE MATTER OF STREET CLEANING, the

RuBESsrEIN's DEATH. sudden death
OF Rubenstcin in his cell is an event that
can scarcely fail to excite many and various
suspicious, and yet it can be sufficiently
accounted for without reference to other than
strictly natural causes Dramatic fancies
are popular. and it is so much in the style Of
romances that catch the general applause to
assume that condemned murderer who
suddenly dies has by some deep ruse
'.chca,ed the gallows," that many will
rcso.utely persist in that opinion. But it is
more rational to believe that step Of that
sort, if taken, would only be taken when all
hope from the courts was gone. Ruben
stein had wei, nigh starved himself to death
by fasting. and did not know, perhaps, how
far nc had gone with this, for an excited
mind sustained him and his weakness was
not lclt But q day OF exhaustion came, the
mind that had alone sustained him broke
down, and collapse resulted. This seems
tho Just explanation of lis death

almost wholly upon the public parks
They send their children out OF fever
breeding neighborhoods and crowded tene-
mcnt houses into these open spaces, to drink
in health and life, and thus they not only find
recreation in them, but protection against
disease and death They are entitled to
these privileges because they have paid for
them. 1t is a stupid error to suppose that
property owners alone pay for public i'm
provements- The expense they entail on
the city is met by taxation, and taxation
falls at least MS heavily on the poor as on the
rich. The latter pay taxes directly; the
former pay them indirectly in increased
rents and enhanced prices for all the neces-
saries of life.
The people Of New York, therefore, own
the Central Park To judge from the action
of our officials one might sometimes sup
pose that the ownership vested in three or
four Commissioners Of the Park Department,
who confer favor on the citizens by allow
ing them to have any privileges at all
within its limits. 1t is very proper
that certain regulations should be
adopted and enforced by the management
to prevent the destruction of shrubbery and
to preserve public order and decency. But
outside of what may be necessary for the
proper preservation and regulation of the
Park it should be as free and open to its
owners as is the air they breathe. Above all,
no needless restrictions should be placed on
the enjoyment of all its privileges by the
young. The idea of excluding children and
others from the Park grass plots by an iron
rule and preserving the grass for pasturage for
somebody's sheep and COWS is preposterous.
The pretence that the grass would be ruined
by thousands of feet tramping over it is alb
surd. All the European parks, and Pros
pect Park in Brooklyn as we'll, are open to
the public in every part, except the flower
beds; and yet the grass is in as good order
and as well kept in all Of them as in our
Central Park. People do not care about
looking at the green, tempting grass; they
want to run over it, to roll on it and to
romp with their children among the daisies.
1t would be as charitable to display good
dinner before the eyes of starving man and
to order him to keep his hands off the vic
tuals as it is to show a crowd of poor ten
ement house children refreshing grass
plot and warn them against putting their
feet upon the green carpet spread before
them by the hand Of nature.
The hot summer months will soon be upon
us. Those whose means enable them to do
80 will be rushing off to the green fields and
the cool sea shore. But tens of thousands
hundreds of thousands-who have not the
means to get away will remain pent up in
the close, sufSocating streets of the city.
We insist that to these less fortunate beings
the grass Of the Central Park, owned by
them, should be free. We therefore call
upon the Park Commissioners to remove
their hateful notices, and to give liberty
to the children of New York to run and roll
and romp on the fragrant grass of the Gen.
trail Park to their hearts content.

tn. Fatal oatbreak ut s.loniea.

The accounts of the deplorable event at
Salonica, as given by the American Consul
on one hand and by the Turkish government
on the other, differ in some important par
ticulars. According to the HERALDs special
despatch by way of Paris the young girl
whose rescue from the Mussulman crowd by
the American Consul originated the diff
Guilty, was being taken, against her will, to
the mosque, and her cries for help induced
the Consuls interference. But the Porte
sends different version Of the story to the
Turkish Ambassador at London. The gov
eminent statement is that the girl desired to
embrace Mohammedanism, and was quietly
on her way to the Governors house when the
American Consul, with crowd of hundred
and fifty men, seized and carried her off by
force. When the Governor learned that the
German and French Consuls had gone to
the mosque he fastened thither, tearing
trouble, and did all in his power, although
vainly, to save the lives of the unfortunate
men. The murderers, it is added. have
been arrested.
Tho American Consul at Salonica is
Greek, and here, probably, lies the ground
work of the trouble. If he had been an
American the French and German Consuls
might have been alive to-day. It does not
seem that there was any reason to suppose
that the girl was an American, and the pro-
priety of the Consul's interference does not
satisfactorily appear However, the tragedy
is likely to give new trouble to Turkey, al
ready distracted and worried enough. Ger
many is said to have expressed willingness
to be satisfied if prompt justice be meted out
to the murderers but France and Italy are
hurrying their iron-clads to Salonica, and
the belief in England is that the event will
bring the troubles of the Porte to climax.
