The bill introduced in the Assembly by

a railroad tunnel under the Hudson River
has been amended in accordance with the
HtRALD's suggestions and will be con-
sidered during the week. In the form in
which it is now reported it is desirable

to commerce if the important trunk rail-
roads now terminating in Jersey City can
be brought over to New York by means of a
tunnel, and as the bill before the Legisa-
lature now conforms to. the constitution and
seems to be confined to the objects ex pressed
in the title, it should receive general sup

A fire has been kindled in the rear of the
British army operating against the Zulus
by the revolt of the powerful tribe of
Basutos, who waged what was known
rs the Caffro war of 1s47. A general
dlstrust of the natives along the east
coast of Africa has prompted the
British to attempt n disarmament of the
tribes, and this has aroused the latter to O
resistance which may render necessary the
reconquest, il that is possible, of an i'm
mense territory at fearful cost The revolt
of the Basuto chief is q step which he would
not take without the assured support
of his people. Although slavery is
nominally non-existent in South Africa
the condition Of the natives in the settled
sections has been little better than ono of
absolute servitudc, and the reckoning day
seems to have come. With powerful hos
tile force fanking and in rear of
the British line of operations the
advance into Zululand must be sus-
pended and dangerous change of
front made to meet new peril nearer
home. Perhaps the republicans of the an
nexed Transvaal may now see their oppor-
tunity to recover their lost independence,
and the tide of war that flowed northward
may ebb again, leaving hopes of conquest
high and dry on the ridges and plains of
Natal and Kaffraria.

women,s Rights-and Let's.

AS ladies are now admitted to practice at
the Bar, as they have q recognized position
in the medical profession and occupy pull
pits, we can see no good reason why they
should be excluded from that most popular
and profitable Of all callings at the present
moment edestrianism. 1t is pleasant
thought to follow up the recent great inter-
national match at Gilmores Garden, which
set all the people crazy, by an equally
interesting trial OF speed and en-
durance among females of oil nations,
and the six days contest Tor lady
walkers which is to commence at the same
place on Thursday next. if won by an
American, win be some compensation for
the return Of the Ashley belt to England.
1t will, of course, he an interesting sight to
see number of female pedestrians on the
everlasting tramp, and it their feet prove as
nimble as ladies' tongues are reputed to be
the time made may not be so inferior to the
Ashley contest alter oil. 1t may be as we'll
to suggest that at least two OF the promi-
nent features of the Ashley match may
acceptably be omitted from the per-
formance- namely, cigar smoking and
Captain Williams club. The ladies
ought to be able to get along without these,
and the six days exercise may do them
good. At all events it will keep them out
of mischief, and as there are likely to be
a number of entries this is of some advan-
tage. Some persons will doubtless think
that it would be we'll if females were more
given to pedestrianism than they are. No
one would object if six days or a six
months walk should be undertaken by Mrs.
Tom-Ri-Jon in a direction that would
keep the back of her eccentric garments
turned toward New York, and Senator
Cameron would no doubt be delighted if
ssthe Widow Oliver had started months
ago on tramp to South America.

Pere Hyacinthe's New Enterprise
The prominence which Nj. Loyson, better
known as Pare Hyacinthe, has, by several
means, obtained in the religious world
causes considerable Importance to attach TO
his movements. We are glad, therefore, to
lay before our readers the substance OF
deeply interesting conversation which
lately occurred between the eloquent
preacher and representative of the HERALD.
The utterances reported in this letter are,
beyond doubt, the most important That the
would-be reformer has ever spoken outside
Of the pulpit. for they not only define
clearly his personal belief on matters OF
faith and rule, but they outline the work
which he hopes to accomplish inside
the Catholic Church. 1t will be seen
by his remarks that he refuses to
consider himself anything denomination
ally but "A Catholic, although he claims
fellowship with and for all believers in the
teachings Of Jesus. He denies even that
the modification of the Catholic faith
which urges can be schismatic; but holds,
rather, that all believers in the gospels and
Catholics, no matter what they may call
themselves. Episcopacy he regards merely
as a method of church government, but one
of incalculahle value. the lack of conformity
to which is the principal error Of many
Protestant denominations with whose
actual beliefs he is in sympathy.
What the result of his special Church
work may finally become is, OF course,
impossible to predict. He processes,
and doubtless with perfect honesty, to
abhor revolution as intensely as he longs
for reform; but so did Luther, Wesley and
others whose work led to the establishment
of new denominations At Paris he will
naturally attract many members OF that in
telligent class peculiar to great intellectual
centres which closely criticises all sys-
TENS, yet clings to the essence of religion.
10 gather and hold these will be work Of
no small magnitude and service to the re-
ligious world, but beyond this the results
are not yet foreshadowed. Whatever may
be the end, however, the NOV ement will be
followed by intelligent men with that close
interest which is inspired by whatever may
be done by man so honest, earnest and
able.

England Does Not Want the Zulu
Country.

Although it was announced only few
days ago that the British government would
not supersede Lord Chelmsford in his South
African command, the name of an officer
said to have been appointed to succeed him
is given in to-day's kilograms from London.
But then the accuracy of this report is open
to doubt Its source is the Central News
Agency, which is one Of the companies that
supply the English provincial papers
with daily instalments of London facts and
rumors. As the London Globe discredits
the report it is safe to take it with a good
deal Of salt on this side the Atlantic.
Perhaps Lord Chelmsford will be able to
carry on the war very we'll within the limits
to which the government has suddenly de-
termined to coEfine it. By the statement
of the Colonial Secretary it appears that
England has magnanimously made up her
mind not to annex the Zulu country just
now. Doubtless Cetywayo will be glad to
hear this, because it may be painful to a
person of his sensibility to be compelled to
repeat from time to time such slaughter as
that practised at the expense of the
Twenty-fourth regiment, and if the British
government had persisted in its programme
for the disestablishment of his sovereignty
such an obligation would have been forced
upon him. He therefore ought to be rejoiced
that England gives up her terrible pro-
gramme Of conquest.

lem will be ended the moment it is dem on
slrated that such an investment as is pro-
posed is II good one.
Fields which but a short time ago were
given up to the uses of market gardeners
are now as accessible from down town as
the corner of Fourteenth street and Broad
way Every man who lives in the Eleventh
or Seventeenth ward and works in the
lower part of the city can now go from his
labor to the far upper part OF the city more
easily than year ago he could go to his

rent so much cheaper that the difference

Will be to build houses fast enough when
the movement is once fairly started. That
is what rapid transit has done in the solu-
ton of this tenement problem.
Projects for the reform Of the tenements
already in existence throughout the city
will appear in new light if we'll con-
structed houses are once furnished in other
places, for the chance opened to the people
to 60 elsewhere and their going else
where to any great extent will itself sufi-
GENTLY reform the old tenements. With
out this the action proposed by the COM
mittee would be hopeless, and with it it
will be hardly necessary. Legislation cam
not change the habits Of the people or the
nature of the landlords, and if one could
frame legislation which promised such re-
suits it could not be enforced. Our Board
Of Health is a useless machine for purposes
like this But when the downtown tene-
ment population is thinned out by the
movement of the people to good houses the
landlords themselves will do all that is nee
essary in their desire to get tenants. Then
the enforcement of sanitary code might be-
come practical. and the Board Of Health
could keep useful registry of houses
whose landlords acted on the law and
houses where they did the contrary, and it
would be an excellent piece of legislation
to provide that no landlord could collect
rent for house in which the code was not
observed, and that the tenant could recover
rent paid in advance in such house, the
registry on the books OF the Board Of Health
to be the evidence as to this fact.

The Water Question i'm New York

The Water Question i'm New York.
Like Banquo's ghost tho water supply
question in New York cannot be laid.
Either by the frequent complaints from
suffering taxpayer who are annually called
on to pay for what they do not get, or the
spells of the sorcerers who wish to entangle
the city in an additional large expenditure
for building new reservoirs and aqueducts.
the spectre 'water famine" is regularly
called up. What astonishes the patient
public most is the irregularity with which
the present supply is made to fail
in certain districts, for there are
brief periods during which something
like a passable dribble of Croton water
is received If the present aqueduct is
carrying water to its utmost capacity and
the consumption is daily increasing, as we
are told, how does it happen that We have
the alterations Of total loss and feeble
flow of water in uptown districts that make
the preparation Of the resident taxpayers
daily meals one of the great problems Of
existence? Ii the managers Of the supply
are manipulating it for the purpose of
forcing their particular policy regarding
it's increase on the city great injustice is
being done to certain districts which bear
their proportionate share OF taxation to
maintain the Croton Water Department
The supply being too small for the city it
should be as fairly distributed as possible,
and the engineering talent Of the Depart
ment of Public Works should be directed
to this end. OF course 1t saves great
deal Of trouble TO let matters drift along
with the certainty that sooner or later
something will have TO be done to meet
an increasing danger to the city's health.
Then, it is to be supposed, the official plans
would be proposed at what Won Moltke
has termed "the psychological moment,
and in sheer desperation the people would
consent to the expenditure of twenty mill
ions on new aqueduct. Let US try to
avoid this by having the Official plans now,
with the estimates and the statistics. We
can criticise and discuss them better ut
present than under the pressure OF a dread
full necessity. Besides, we can have many
