Travellers by the City Hall branch Of the
elevated road have experit need much relief and
have saved much loss of tempcr-and breath
since the change in running shuttle-trans ("
was made, that renders it unnecessary TO cross
the bridge at Chatham Square in order to reach
trains going uptown. The managers OF this line
are succeeding well in satisfying the public de-
maDd but there is one Improvement that Is
greatly needed in the interest OF n large number
of people. Is there any good reason why the
City Hall trains should stop running. rs they do
now, at 12:45 a. III 7 1t was hoped that these
trains would be continued all night, after the
ll-night service on the Bridge railroad was pnt
in operation bat this has not been done. The
bulk of down-train travel on the elevated line
after midnight is of Brooklyn people on their
way home, who are now almost compelled TO
cross the river either by Fulton or South Ferry.
Persons coming from Brooklyn 10 New York,
and intending to go uptown, are also forced to
take the ferry boats or else walk from the
Bridge terminus either to Chatham Square or
Franklin Square.
The City Hall elevated trains ought to be run
through the early morning hours, connecting
with the Bridge trains, which leave New York
every quarter of an hour Not only would many
Brooky IN travellers be thus accommodated, but
who live on the east side could much more
easily reach their homes. This change is re-
quired in behalf of an increasing number of
night travellers. The elevated railway man
ayers should give prompt heed to the demand.

In the United States there is no

the fact that his death probably took

turity Of his powers. Judged 10y the
standard of ordinary men, is exceed

and the work he accomplished will
live forever in history's page: If
Washington conquered the indepen-
dence of his country, Grant most in
dubitably perpetuated it.

Soldiers wives On the Warpalhs
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 1st.-The
Government is in arrears to its SOL
diers for several months pay, and
to-day the wives of the soldiers at
tempted to secure attention to their
husbands demands by appearing in
force at the Office of the Minister of
Finance. Bands of women collected
to the plumber of 1900 or more at a
point near the building occupied by
the Cabinet officers, and at an APP
pointed hour they marched in body
to the office of the Minister of FL
nance. Pushing past the guards,
they entered the Office, and, confront
ing the Minister, demanded the pay
due their husbands. Policemen were
called In and tried to expel them,
but the women turned on the officers
and forced them to retire. The FL
nance Minister made a plausible ex-
cuse for the delay in paying the men,
when the women declared his answer
unsatisfactory, and made a rush for
him. He, however, escaped by jump
ing out of a back window.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
Opinions of French statesmen.


NEW YORK, March 31st. Special
cables present the opinions of French
statesmen on the crisis, which are
widely divergent. NJ. Duclerc, ex-
Premier and. Minister of Foreign
Affairs two years ago, said: 81 have
no anxiety, and trust no Frenchman
feels any. France has gone through
more than one crisis in Algeria, and
come out with honor. Why not in
China ?" ~. & .sst E
Another Minister. of Foreign
Affairs, a distinguished Senator and
a dear friend ofM Theirs, said: 1.-The
situation is grave. It is difficult to
foretell what will come of it. To re-
treat from Tonquin now we cannot
do. The bankers to-day feel that
France has now made a headlong
plunge into the unknown. War, the
Commune-everyth is liable to
happen at any moment. The stock
brokers, however, are confident. The
fall in values is purely fictitious, and
there never was better opportunity
offered for capitalists to buy French
securities"

to a Herald correspondent =" This is
merely the prelude. The political
movement now tends directly to the

Among the arrivals by the Mari

Booth of California. This gentleman
has filed the highest Offices in the
United States in the gift of the
people, except the Presidency, hav-
ing been successfully Governor
of the State of California and
United States Senator from the
Golden State as we'll. He was spoken
of freely in connection with the Vice
Presidency in 1876, and doubtless
would have received the nomination
but for the opposition of the railroad
monopolies which controlled the
national conventions of both parties
at that and succeeding Presidential
nominations -js {z.t
No public man ever made a better
record or a gallanter fight against the
growing and grasping power OF rail-
road corporations than Newton Booth

scure mountain attorney and old-time

1t will be seen, therefore, that the
charges upon shipping are onerous.
If these could be wholly removed, it
would be a great inducement TO ship
ping to frequent the port. The indi-
rect gain, as already indicated, would
far more than compensate for loss of
revenue. OF course a large increase
of shipping at the port would neces-
sarily add to the annual expenditure
of the harbor department, but this
increase would bring with it com
pensating advantages. Let US see,
