TPdVEL IN BROADVAY

Mr.. Sharp, of the Broadway road, having
repeatedly shown mastery ability in conync-
ing Aldermen and others of the error OF their
ways ought to exert all his diplomacy immedl-
atey with the refractory Belt Line and get the
consent of that corporation to the running OF
his cars all the way to the South Ferry. The
change from cars to stages at the Bowling Green
is not at all agreeable and it causes bad break
in the swftness and smoothness OF MI. oharps
system of transportation.
The tremendous rush of travel to the new route
is causing long faces in the directors rooms
of the Sixth and Fourth Avenue lines, and
curiously reflective air is spreading over the
faces of the holders of elevated railway stock
A great many people who have been in the
habit of going up and down town by the
elevated roads find travelling by horse-car IN
Broadway fuller of variety and interest and just
as comfortable, while there are no stairs to go
I'M and down. And for those living within a
block or two of Broadway in any part OF the
IF WIN below Madison Square the BrC adway cars
afford lust rs prompt transportation to points
near the CITY Hall as do the elevated roads,
while the difference in time to the Battery Is
not great. 1t is benefit to the city that
the excessive pressure on the elevated trains Is
in mart relieved by the Broadway cars, even
though the possessors of Manhattan shares may
find cause to smite their breasts. AS to the
anguish of the propretors of the little "llgger
line from Vesey-st to the South Ferry, that is
past telling. That little line has long had the
reputation of having the unhappiest horses. the
most unattractive cars and the most deliberate
drivers on this island. 1t was always slow. 1t
is now remote, unrriendcd and solitary as well.
Mr.. Sharp promises new cars and every luxury
that the surface traveller can fairly desire. The
receipts are coming in so magniiicently that his
heart swells with the most liberal and benev-
client of impulses. There are whispers abroad
that if the receipts go beyond a certain figure
the bounty of his nature will prompt HIM to
double his payments TO the city and to refresh
his drivers and conductors with iced lemonade
in the torrid days of midsummer But what
ever acts of benefcence his generous soul may
have in store, ii is certain that he has opened 4
mine of vast riches in this Broadway Railroad.
Travel is likely to increase so fast over this
route that all Mr.. Sharp's resources will prove
inadequate to provide for it. 1t Is the central,
the natural, the convenient line OF travel FOR
this city, and when the horse cars are unable
TO carry the hosts that will press to Broadway,
the underground road is sure To come. There are
milions-Inany of them-in a roilway Running
fast trains under Broadway. And in time even
the most stubborn real estate owner may
conclude that there are things in this town
more important than vaults.

M.lChIN.

The most prominent Democratic statesman OF
Chicago, Mr.. Mackin, Is marked for expulsion
by the Democratic Committee of which he is a
shining light. The dispatches have stated that
his resignation would not be permitted, and
that the committee would cxpel him in any
case, whatever defence he might make.
1t is curious TO observe the ground on which
this Democratic statesman is disciplined. He
is not to BE- expelled for being thict The
time for Directing to him on that score passed
long ago, if indeed it could be expected that a
Democratic Committed would ever object TO a
man for being a thief in the interests OF the
Democratic party. Neither would il be right to
expel him for law breaking. He was convicted
and imprisoned long ago, and II there Is now
any occasion on that score to object to his
presence in a Democratic Committee, there was
more objection then, when the crime perpe.
trated in the interests OF Democracy and
reform was fresh in mind. The statesman is
at present out on bail, technical difficulties
having been raised in regard to (he validity OF
his trial, but nobody questions that he was
guilty of the act of which he was convicted. and
nobody questions that, if there had not been
some alleged technical error in the indictment,
he would for the past few months have been
laboring in a prison instead of a Democratic
committee-room. Under these circumstances,
il is tou late to expel the man fol- being con-
vict. Nor can he be thus dealt with on account
of any crime. 1t is II long time since crimes
committed for the sake of the Democratic party
ceased to be 80 offensive as to justify expulsion
from Democratic society.
The man is to be expelled, if at all, for being
found out. 1t was gceat wrong to his party,
not that he should have committed II crime, but
that he should have permitted himself to be
detected in it. Even if his participation in the
frauds was well known and palpable, he should
have been able to bride juror, or IN some
other method TO secure for himself the i'm
munity which political offenders in the neighbo =
hood of Chicago reasonably expect. He owed it as
a duty, not to himself, but to his party. Never
theles, he neglected it, and got convicted, and
has since brought disgrace upon his party by
signing call for public meeting. And now
he is to be expelled, not for being thief, not
for being q convict, not for being rascal
generally, but for signing a call when he had no
right TO do so.
