Englishmen have no reason to suspect ti''C
Americans have any sympathy with these
execrablc plots Our people can have only one
feeling in regard to them. They consider them
crimes against civilization. They look upon
those who pan and execute them as enemies Oh
the human race. Not one respectable news
paper has ever defended the use OF dynamite
as a political agent. Public sentiment
outside of the Irish-American ranks IS
united on this subject. But this una
nimity of feeling does not make it any the
less difficult to deal with the detestaDic con-
spiracy in any tangible or practical way.
The Alabama case, cited by the English press
does not offer either precedent or parallel. a
case in point would be the attempt OF the Con-
fedorate agents to destroy several New 1ork
hotels in 1864. Those agents had been plot
ting in Canada, and nothing was done by the
British authorities there to prevent their SET
ting out on their nefariOus errand, or to punish
them when they returned to their base OF secret
operations If it was difficult for those officials
to apply the neutrality laws in that instance, 1t
is wholly impracticable for the American au-
thorities to break up Irish plots against Eng
lish property. The neutrality act is as inopera-
tive against dynamite workers as the existing
British statutes would be, if similar plots were
formed there against property in America.
We know of no laws which can be enforced
against the conspiratOTs, even il they can be de-
tected and it is by no means easy to catch
them. as the English detectives themselves I'M
ders-and. If the men with suspicious-lOolIing
valises containing wheels cogs and explosives
cannot be arrested in London, how can they be
feITeted out in New York, where they are plot
tingin secretP Accessories before the fact when
murder or arson Is only vaguely talked over in
whispers, cannot be dealt with at present, even
if detectives happen to Oyerhear them. The
dynamite question Is one involving new dltiicul-
ties, which neither statutenOr international law
can obviate at present. The subject is one
which should engage the attention of the Legis-
lature and of Congress. Indeed, the time may
be approaching when the Governments OF
ChristendOm will be forced for mutual protec-
ton to discriminate between political Offences
and dynamite crime. Meanwhile, there should
be temperate discussion and mutual apprecia-
ton of the inherent difficulties Of the case on
each side of the sea.

THE PROPOSED NEW PARKS

The Mayor and the heads of departments, who
make up what is known as the Mayors Cabinet,
Yesterday considered a subject the importance
of which is not easily exaggerated. The plan
for acquiring $500 acres in the Twenty third
and Twenty fourth Wards for public parks
interests every person who has any concern in
the welfare of the city. We think no one will
be found to dispute tho claim that New York
needs many more parks and that these should
be laid out on a generous SCALE The able
Commission. whose report was reviewed in The
TRIBUNE and other papers month ago, have
not erred on the side Of niggardlness. Their
scheme is of ample proportions. But that 1t is
not too extensive to secure the approval Of
many of ouI most prominent and most public
spirited citizens is shown by the letters which
Mr.. Marsh has laid before the city officials.
1t is true that the outlay will add great sum
to the city debt. The Commission estimate that
the cost of the land will be about $S,O00,000.
We fear they are far within the mark. If any
municipal undertaking, wherein expenditure
was a matter of millions, failed to exceed i'm
mensely the most extravagant of the preim-
mary estimates, we cannot recall it. If all this
land is bought, sad experience shows that it is
1luCD more NhCIy W CoSJ IL uOHti u'lliI'Ho IMAM
eight This is u sum to be considered with
respect and even with awe by taxpayers, who
are watching with anxiety not unmixed with
alarm the way in which the estimated cost Of
the new aqueduct, reservoirs and dams is swell
ing. They know that in the Aqueduct Commits
sion there are members with no selfish interests
to serve, who will do their best to see that the
public money is spent wisely and well. But at
the same time it is not pleasant to note the
manner in which the figures submitted by the
Department of Public Works have expanded.
With such a tremendous burden TO carry for
the increase of the water supply, taxpayers
might naturally feel nervous over a scheme to
spend dozen more millions for new parks.
But there can be no wiser investment of public
funds and none surer to yield satisfactory
returns, if the sites of the proposed parks are
the best for the purpose, and the highest in
religence and skill govern every part of the
scheme. The increased value of properly, as
the Commission have pointed out, will speedily
repay the city, if no bad blunders are made.
There is no sagacity and no sense in wasting
millions of dollars, as we do every year, upon
departments filed with idle, incompetent men,
who are paid excessive salaries for doing little
work, and who owe their places solely to their
services to some faction or boss. while we shrink
from the expenditure necessary TO acquire the
pleasure. grounds which are Of inestimable

no false steps and no excess of haste. II Is no
doubt true that considerable part OF the prop

We could never understand why it was neces-
sary to describe the parks of Japan in report

any force in the argument on which Mr. Marsh

in population the metropolis of America.
Brooklyn has displayed good Judgment and
liberaity in the development of her parks and
in other efforts to make the town attractive, anu
it behooves New-York for her own sake to
follow the example. But before there Is
bigger city at the eastern end OF the Bridge
than at the western, a great many things VIII
have happened.
Mr.. Wales appears to stand on firm ground III
his opposition to the mandatory nature OF the
bill which it is proposed to pass. There should
be room for discretion left. The city can
hardly afford to commit itself irrevocably to the
enormous expenditure involved in the purchase
of all this property at the present time' uhiess
it is clearly proved that grave injury Will result
from DELAYING the execution of any part OF the
plan. Even so great benefit to city as the
addition of an extensive and attractive system
of parks can be bought too dearly.

THE DYNAMITE C4gP4IGN

Public feeling in England respecting the
dynamite plots is naturally very bitter. The
detectives have not succeeded in making any
arrests, but have discovered considerable evil
dence indicating that the conspira'Ors had an
American base of operations. The London
press, as will be seen by our special cable
dispatches, unites in denunciation of the
supineness of the United States Government
aud the Indifference shown by the American
people. There is a clamOrous demand that
American officials shall not shirk the obligation
to suppress dynamite plotting. The vehemence
OF the London press. although natural under
the circumstances, overshOOts the mark. 1t will
encourage the miscreants to repeat their out
RACES, since 80 much excitement is caused by
them, and international complications are not
entirely out of the question. The con
spirators can have only two purposes in view
in plotting against property and life In Eng
land. One is TO make Englishmen angry and to
exhaust their patience, so that they will be

The legislative investigation of aduteration
in food shows that great many manufacturers
are determined to make the public accept the
products of lard and chemical oils In the place
of butter and that nothing short of the most
stringent prohibitive laws will stop this move
ment The suggestion as to the possible use Oh
diseased hogs in the manufacture OF butterlne'
made by one manufacturer before the Senate
Committee. will not tend to alay the public
uneasiness as to this matter. Seeing that the
consumer continues to be sceptical as to the
inferiority of the bogus butter, while its health
fulncss is by no means established, 1t may be
as well that more energetic measures should be
taken to prevent the progress OF these palpable
frauds, and to enforce the law.

That abuses are constantly practised in Lud

vet all efforts to reform them hitherto have failed.
Occasionally, when some case of abuse more
fragrant than usual has reused public attention,
the Grand Jury has formally examined into the
condition of the prson-house; but the worst
that has ever come of such Investigations has
been a presentment to the court, which, OF
course caused the sheriff and the warden OF
the iail no uneaSiness. The testimony given
Yesterday before the Special Committee of the
Assembly, however, was so strong and proved
so conclusively that the Jail is dishonesty and
incompetently managed, that it is to he hoped

For the present, at least, the electric light
companies are ahead in the struggle between
themselves and property-owners in regard to
the right to erect poles for wires in the streets.
Judge hgraham, of the Superior Court, yester-
day handed down a decision in the Twenty
ffth-st. case, in which he holds that the city
authorities had a right to give this privilege to
the Brush Company under the authority of the
act of 1918, in pursuance of the provisions OF
which the street was opened, and under later
laws regulating the making of contracts for
lighting the city. The point can be appealed,
of course but the chances are that Judge In
grahams opinion would be upheld. Property
owners will probably have to look to the Legis-
lature. and not the courts, for the correction Of
the evil of street obstruction.
