One OF the Inducements held out by its pro-
jectors to forestall opposition TO the proposed
street railway line in Filth avenue the FASH
tonable drive in New YORK Is the positive assur-
snce that the track shall be laid perfectly level
with the surface Of the street, and that the rails
shall not become In any wise an obstruction or
detriment to ordinary travel, either on or across
that thoroughfare. II is entirely practicable to
do this, but the chances are that after the de-
sired franchise is obtained the promise will be
deliberately ignored and the public insoiently
asked what it is going TO do about 1t.
The surprising feature OF the street railway
system in the United States is the fact that an
unobjectionable style of rail Is not required TO
be used in all cases. and the space within and
between the tracks paved exactly like the
other parts of the streets surrendered to the
use of the cars. instead OF allowing the tracks
TO monopolize and practically destroy large
portion of the occupied thorougbfare, as Is usu-
ally done. In European cities these important
requirements are uniformly and strictly en-.
forced In every instance, so that street railway
tracks there ARE nothing like as offensive to the
public, nor so Injurious 10 horses and vehicles,
as they are in this country.
Why are the comfort and safety Of the people
not As carefully locked after here as there? The
answer is easily found. Theoretically, and gen.
orally i'll practice, y republican form of govern
ment is the besi in the world; but when corpor-
ate monopoies control both the legislative and
executive branches of q popular government, as
they frequently do, il is apparent that an abso-
lutte monarchy Is not without some compensat-
ing advantages. THIS single ruler with due
sense of his obligations ard responsibilities may
be better than a variety of constituencies des-
rotsIns in the form of vulgar. grasping capital
ists who, by the sheer force OF money and indif-
ference TO public opinion, are able to hold their
several communities in more CALLING and help
less bondage than the downtrodden creatures Of
Russia are held by the autocrat OF that empire.
The people ON Filth avenue will do well to see
that all their rights and privileges are inaliena-
bly, secured before foot OF their street is dis
turbed. II they place themselves for moment
in the power of the proposed company all chance
of obtaining redress for any wrong will be gone.

The Soudan's Police.

"IfI were Prime Minister, y said an
English officer on the Belooch-Afghan
border some years ago, " instead of
wasting our men in fighting these hill
clans, I'd offer a bounty for every
Afghan head brought in, and then all
the border trbes would exterminate
each other, and the last man would
comet in carrying his own head in II
hand, and holding out the other for the
money" This ingenious method OF
pacification has not been tried yet, but
the bounty system" in o more mod.
crate form is working remarkably we'll
in the same region. When England
first occupied the Bolan Pass the raids
of the MaVri mountaineers (the Alba
mans of the Afghan frontier made it
impossible to send wen a letter
through it without q strong escort.
On the principle of "set a thief to
catch a thief" the An%glo-Indian
Government bestowed the guardian
ship of the defile and its attendant
salary upon an old Beloochi chief,
named Allah ud-Deen GOD of the
Faith whom any recent traveller to
