"For President: David D. HIM. is the ticket which
GThe Charleston World" has been running for months

RAPID TRANSIT AND TFE BRIDGE

The opening of new line Of rapid transit in
Brooklyn within few days and the near open
ing of other elevated roads, now almost COM
plcted, lend additional interest to the important
question of increasing the transportation facili-
ties of the Bridge Action on this was post
poned by the trustees at their meeting last Mon
day. Tomorrow there is to be meeting for
the especial purpose of considering this matter,
and We hope that the trustees will show enough
regard for the interests of the public not only
to attend the meeting, but to give the report of
the Board Of Experts the careful thought TO
which it is entitled by reason of its merits and
the deServedly high character of the three en-
gineers who have given their unqualified APP
prevail to the circulating system devised by
Mr.. Wellington. Most of the trustees are not
engineers, while the question to be decided is
mainly question of engineering They must
therefore be largely influenced by the opinions
of the expert engineers, MeSsrs. Katie, Adams
and Crawford; and they could hardly have
mora competent advisers. Doubtless the cost
of this improvement is the chief element which
the trustees themselves must decide. That it
will be expensive is beyond dispute; but will
not the expenditure of a considerable sum now
| be well repaid in the increased usefulness of
tho costly Bridge?
The Bridge Railroad is congested already
almost to the point of positive danger. As we
have said, the opening of new lines of travel
in Brooklyn will cause more people TO travel !;
the population of that city will increase still
more rapidly than heretofore and consequently
the rush at the Bridge will be greater than
ever. Hence it will not do to put OFF the de-
cision of this pressing problem much longer
II is easy now to realize that the original
Transportation arrangements of the Bridge
were planned on entirely too contracted scale
II would be useless TO blame anybody for that
The thing to be done Is TO remedy the defect
rs quickly and as comprchensively as possible.
To arrange for the running of large number
of additional trains is not alone suihcient. 1t
Is OF the highest importance that adequate ap-
proaches TO the Bridge stations, especially in
this city, should be provided One Of the ad-
mirable features of Mr. Wellingtons plan is
that It furnishes Just these Such station
buildings as he proposes, with entrances and
exits on every side, are calculated 20 relieve all
| jams, and with the open space 10 be left be-
tween the Bridge and Frankfort-st-. what Is
now probably the most crowded corner OF New
York during the busiest hours Of the day would
become one Of the easiest to pass through Tho
necessity of providing some relief here in
creases in intensity from day TO day II the
Bridge Trustees adopt the Wellington plan,
we think they may count on the corporation
OF our city authorities In the effort 10 put an
end to the cfowdine and jamfning In this
quarter II they favor nlan for relieving the

THE LOUISIANA STTUATIoM.

No foir-n,infycd man can doubt, after reading
the lorrcs printed on the second page Of yester-
DAVIS TRIntNE. that Louisiana is an over
y.beln,inelv Republican State. IT, then, There
&c a ftec and full ballot Tomorrow and ialr
and HONEST count it is beyond question that the
Renublican ticket will be handsomely elected
INT will there be these two essential condi-
,;ons2 There are many evidences that in
timidation and bulldozng Will be practIsed on
an immense scale. Governor McEncry appears
wholly TO have abjured his pledge that through
out the State there should be an honest ana
fair election and that "every vote cast'
should be counted as deposited" Senators
Gibson and Eustis have both been absent from
Washington for three weeks. Their interest
in The contest lies in the fact that the Legis-
latuIe TO be elected will choose both OF their
successors: and who will pretend that they
have been In Louisiana for the purpose Of see
ing that no voter, black or white, is deprived
OF his rights
The letter of Ex-Governor Warmoth which
we print this morning shows how the bull
doing is being conducted and how Mr.. Nc
Enery's change of heart has been produced.
Mr. Warmoth also summarizes the situation as
shown by figures, reaching the same conclu-
sions as the correspondence printed yesterday
contained These carefully made estimates
demonstrate that there is in Louisiana an actuai
colored voting majority of 24,675. Almost
the entire number of blacks will vote the he-
publican ticket if permitted to do SO. MI
Warmoth estimates that 30 per cent OF the
white voters are Republicans. Hence In an
open and equal contest the Republican party
would have the chance of carrying the state
by 10000 majority. To prevent an over
wbeming Democratic defeat it is obvious that
extraordinary efforts will be required.
Mr. McEnery is believed to have been led to
back down from the manly position first taken
by the promise from his successful rival in the
convention Of seat on the Supreme Court
Bench. At all events, he has declared that the
claw must be suspended" pending this contest
Since then Republican candidates for the Legs
lature have been driven out of the State, and
preparations have been made for carrying the
northern parishes by force and fraud. The
facts given by Ex-Governor Warmoth are con-
vincing. The State is to be stolen in the most
unblushing manner. Is there no way of pre-
venting this shameful outrage?

canoe Of the election lies in the fact that this
great Department has manifested its approval
SO cmphatically, and this must be taken in con-
nection with the further fact that large num-
Der of votes have hitherto been cast for
Boulangcr in other Departments. That it is
not civil Office that he is seeking is shown by
recent occurrences, and reinstatement in. the
army would not content him. His hold on the
masses of the French people is growing stronger
and his ambition will probably not be satisfied
with ANYTHING short of the highest honoIs.
