New Workers who are not too busy to
spend an occasional hour in studying the
town they live in have of late been noting
the magnificent improvements that are pro-
crossing on the extreme western edge of
the city. Some of them, too, have been
shrewd enough to see what the commercial
results of Riverside and Morningside parks
would be, and have quietly bought up
vacant lots in that long neglected neighbor-
hood. The completion of these improve
ments, one of which was described in the
HERALD Of yesterday, will have the newt
able effect of permanently making the adj
jacent property the choicest in the city.
Lying between the two new parks near the
river and Central Park on the east, this
locality will afford to its residents out-of-
door privileges such as are not enjoyed by
the denizens of any other city in the world.
Hour after hour may be spent in continu-
ons drives and walks none of which are
quarter of an hour distant from home, while
scenery such as some of our wealthy citi-
zens have gone fifty miles up the river to
find will be visible from the doors and
windows of numerous business men whose
offices can be reached within half an hour;
and the best feature of the neighborhood is
that it is large enough TO hold every one
who has the good taste to want to live in it,

In the HERALD of yesterday appeared
some suggestions by Surrogate Calvin of
methods by which property devised by will
may be distributed with less delay, more
fairness and slighter loss than is the rule at
present. Some of the methods alluded to
will probably be discussed by the Legisla-
ture this winter, when comment upon them
will be more timely than at present, but
one of them is not likely to be opposed by
any one who is not himself claimant. We
refer to the proposed prohibition OF allow
ances to unsuccessful contestants. The de-
sire to step into dead mems shoes, provided
the original wearers of these pedal cover
ings had well filed pocketbooks, is almost
as general as that for clean streets or more
light in the elevated railway cars, and so
long as allowances depend largely upon the
good nature of officials who lose nothing by
the transaction there will BIZ, as there now
is, large class of lawyers who will dis

cuses for contesting wills. According to
the present custom Of granting allowances
the contestant has nothing to lose, while
the counsel has absolute certainty of gain,
whereas if the would-be will breakers were
compelled, before applying for assistance
from the estate, to prove to Surrogate or
Court that they have good legal grounds
for contest their palms would be compelled
to itch in private only, while the shameful
family exposures that have been SO promi-
nent of late would not exist to disgrace hon.
ored names and disgust the public.

the great ex-Chief Justice, ex-Ambassador
and ex-President of the old Congress was
Governor of the State. The occasion was
a proposal by no less a parsonage than
Alexander Hamilton to do thing of the
very kind that is now projected. Our State
elections were then held in the spring, and
in the spring of 1900 the democrats Chen
called republicans) elected the Legislature.
which insured the Presidential electors for
their candidate. The term of the super
seeded federal Legislature did not expire
till July. and Hamilton addressed strong
letter to Governor jay urging him to call
an extra session for the purpose of dividing
the State into districts for the choice of
Presidential electors and thereby deprive
jefferson of a part of the votes
which would all be given to him
by the new Legislature. That letter was
found among Governor jays papers, after
his death, with this superscription in his
handwriting: -"Proposing measure for
political purposes which it would not be-
come me to adopt" That letter and its in
dorsement have been often quoted, and
never by any historian without warm ex-
pressions of praise. There is nothing in
the illustrious career of that celebrated
man which reflects higher honor upon his
character or to which writers of all parties
have been so unanimous in paying homage.
We repeat, we do not believe our repub-
lican Legislature will attempt anything SO
audacious and dishonorable, or that the
attempt would succeed if made. We do
not believe that any responsible party
leader would dare to face the storm of
public indignation he would raise by
standing up in the Legislature and pro-
posing such a measure. If it should be
proposed and fail it would give the demo-
Gratis topic of denunciatlon which
would insure them the State. If it
should be proposed and enacted it
would enable the democrats to carry large
majority Of the districts. The only way to
make such trick succeed would be to go
the whole length and appoint the electors
by the Legislature itself. and thus deprive
the people of an opportunity to make their
indignation effective But nothing of the
kind will be done or seriously attempted,
unless the republican party is willing to be
scathed and blasted like field burnt and
blackened by lightning.

Bad Railroad Policy.

Everybody who studies our Complaint
Book must have observed the increasing
frequency and intensity of reasonable pro-
tests against petty details Of management
of the 81" railroads. If the railroad di-
rectors were duly sensitive this would not
be SO. For example, it is many months
since complaints began to be made about
the dangerous gaps which exist at almost
all the east side stations between the cars
and the edge of the platform. But no at
tention has been paid to them, although
several severe accidents have occurred
from this cause. It is also q long
while since attention was first called
to the inefficient lighting Of the
east side cars, but no better or addi-
tional lamps have been supplied. The
worst of the horse cars actually are much
better lighted. These are two specimens
of disregard of reasonable demands Of
the public which we might illustrate by
dozen more. 1t is very poor policy for the
I'll" railroad managers to exasperate the
public in multitude of little matters just
at time when popular feeling is agitated
again in respect to the ten cent fares by
reason of the approach of a session of the
Legislature. and when the neglect to push
the construction of the Second avenue IL"
line to Harlem needs q more satisfactory
explanation than any which has been vol
unteared

The GarrNte.

The superior merit of the garrote to hang
ing, poisoning or shooting criminals, or
killing them with chloroform or carbonic
acid gas or by electricity, is earnestly urged
to-day by DIR. Hamilton, the freshest par
ticipator in the capital punishment debate.
He indicates preference for the old-fnsh-
toned, garrote, by which death was accom-
plishcd through simple strangulation, after
the fashion OF the Oriental bowstring.
But experience in Spain and her colonies
during the present century rather CON-
mends the modern instrument, in which
the chief service of the collar, whereby
strangulntion formerly was effected,
is. to hold the prisoners head firmly
in. place while the spinal marrow is
severed with steel blade propelled against
the back of the neck by screw. Incl
dentally DR.. Hamilton anticipates the sub
joined recommendation of prussic acid by
DR.. Lurunaris, aud condemns it on account
of the uncertainty of it's effects--the same
reason for which DR.. Hammond condemns
electricity. He has known dog to be
poisoned with prussia acid and manifest
symptoms OF death to the Satisfaction Of

Archbishop Lynch ON ireland.

The Archbishop of Toronto, who has just
returned from visit to various parts of
Europe, including Ireland, and whose opin-
ion on Irish affairs was thought Of sufficient
Importance to be asked by members of the
British Ministry, has made some practical
suggestions of considerable value and one
theoretical suggestion which is at least
curious. Among his practical sugges-
tons is one that it would be great
relief to the Irish tenants to go back
to the old system of paying rents
in kind. A money rent puts all the risk
and all the suffering from bad crops upon
the tenant. money rent is no doubt the
better plan where the tenant farmers, like
those of England, possess some capital and
credit and can worry through bad years
without being reduced to beggary. But in
Ireland. where SO large a portion of the
tenants live from hand to mouth and have
nothing left to subsist on after paying their
rent in bad year, it works cruel oppres-
sion in a time like the present. Rent
lent for the landlords, but it would be less
trouble for their agents to dispose of a
share of the crops than to resort to such
means as they are now compelled to adopt
for the collection of money rents. The
ommen dation of rent in kind is that it
tenant and landlord instead of throwing
the whole burden of it upon the tenant.
In spite of its inconvenience to the land
lord nothing could be fairer to both parties,
as it makes them equitable sharers both in
good and bad harvests. It is the method
generally practised in our Southern States
with negroes, who own little or no prop
erty. and is the only suitable one
to be pursued with poor tenants. The
landlord shares the risks Of the season,
taking his third or his fourth of the crop,
whether it be much or little. and always
leaving something for the tenant TO subsist
on in the worst of years. But this system
is more convenient for the Southern plant
ers, who live on their estates and can store
and sell their share of the tenants crops
with their own, than it would be for the alb
sentee landlords of Ireland.
Archbishop Lynch suggests that it would
be some relief to Ireland if provisions for
that country were shipped directly to Irish
ports, instead of being sent to Liverpool
and burdened with port charges, profits
and transshipment before reaching the Irish
consumers
The Archbishop has q theory about the
climate Of Ireland which tends to damp
the ardor of tenants to become owners of
the soil. He thinks the Gulf Stream
has changed its course, and in
stead OF barely touching the coast
of Ireland as formerly it is so bent around
in that direction as to alter the atmospheric
condition Of that country and occasion the
perpetual heavy clouds and rains which
shut out the sun and disappoint the hopes
of the husbandman. II this theory should
be verified land in Ireland will be hardly
worth possessing. and the greater part of
the population will be compelled to emf
