THE SITUATION as TO TEMPERANCE.

THE SITUATION as TO TEMPERANCE
The advocates of temperance legislation now
stand at the parting of the ways. They can
make or mar temperance reform by their be-
havior in some measure, but the reform will
90 on with or without them 1t is to the men
themselves that their behavior is of vital inn
portance, because it will put them definitely
on the side of reform or on the side of vice and
crime.
Prior to the recent election 1t was possible
for man to believe that the third party
movement for Prohibition was steadily gaining
in strength, and would presently crowd the
Republican organization out of the way. The
belief was not very well sustained by facts,
but it was that of honest men. At the root of
their action was the hope that an increasing
and respectable portion Of the people would
pronounce Prohibition the only temperance
measure which ought to be considered any
where, and would hold n National Prohibition
party the only agency through which effective
Prohibition could be attained. SO long as this
belief was honestly held, however blindly and
mistakenly, it served as a motive for political
action which practically helped the liquor in
terest only.
That belief is no longer possible for sober
and sensible men. The reasoning in favor Of
separate political action for Prohibition has
been submitted to the people again this year
with great zeal, industriously and earnestly,
and in some localities it has found more sup
porters than it did four years ago. But that
increase is only sufficient even there to make
it certain that further efforts in that direction
are entirely futile and foolish. In this State,
for example, a little over $4,000 votes were
cast for the Prohibition ticket, against 25,000
in 1884 .hc total vote having meanwhile in
creased more than 1900 There were 2l6
votes in 10000 four years ago, and 227 in
TO- 600 this year in favor of the Prohibition
policy. At the same rate of progress it
would take 455 Presidential terms, or about
$50 years, to bring the movement up to the
point Of practical usefulness.
The better way Of looking at the matter is
this: after full discussion for four years about
80 voters out Of 100 in this State refuse TO
accept the theory that Prohibition enforced
by political Prohibition party, is the right
remedy for the evils Of intemperance. There
is no disputing the logic of such a decision,
when it is remembered that the friends Of
high License who supported Mr. Miller, and
the thrd-party advocates Of Prohibition were
together a clear majority of all voters in the
State, United they could have shaped tho
laws and the government of the State Be

SOCIETY.
Looking aside from tie music and only at tho per-
formancc the solo performances were the most
Measurable features of the second concert of the
symphony Society at the Metropolitan Opera House
on Saturday ght. The solo performers were
Herr Rosenthal, pianist and Mrs carr
Alves contrato. Herr Rosentha was sus-
pcced of having done extremely vent
urcsome thing in choosing Chopn's concerto in J.
minor for the occasion. There is opinion, widely
prevalent both sides Of the Atlantic. that In this
work Mr. Josefy is not TO be approached, and II was
only last January that Mr. Josefy gilded refined gold
for us by playing Tausigs edition of the concerto In
that took the bloom on all
his previous performances, cntrancingy beau
tml as they had been. n is not essential
to appreciation Of either of these performers that
they should be either compared or contraSed, and
such proceeding is far from our intention. IL Is
enough for the present that Mr. JOsey has long COM
manded the kcenest admiration for his Interpretation
Of the work and that Herr ROsentha justified his choice
by performance that exquisitely refined in every
bar and triumph Of his taste well as his Skill
He made no effort to drag the music out of that
somewhat morbdly sentimental atmosphere In which

COSTLY CHANGES IN STREETS.

The Board Of Street Openings have done a
wise and judicious thing in turning over the
consideration of the schemes to widen Elnl-st.
and College place to the new municipal admin
istration which will come into power with the
opening of the new year. So extensive, costly
and serious undertakings as these ought not to
be set on foot in the closing days of waning
city government. Let Mayor Grant and his
associates take up these problems, apply to
them the most thorough and exhaustive
study and be extremely cautious that they
are not misled into giving too much weight to
the arguments and appeals of men who are
simply trying to use the city treasury IN order
to increase revenue from their own real estate.
ANY man whose daily business leads him to
walk up and down Broadway knows from his
own observation that blOckades in this thor
oughfare are now comparatively infrequent
and insignificant Since the Broadway cars
became so familiar objects in this great bust
ness street the trucks moving uptown and the
trucks moving downtown have been naturally
divided into parallel lines, and rarely come into
collision or conflict. The cars are able to make
their trims as a rule without serious delay or
obstruction Look at the difference between
the traffic in Broadway and the traffic in West
st. The Belt Line cars are often hours behind
time in their trips between the Battery and
Tifty-ninth-st, and it is no uncommon thing
in the neighborhood Of the great ferries on the
North River to see d car stop for half an hour
at time in single spot. Nothing of the sort
is ever observed in Broadway, and until it has
been demonstrated beyond the possibility Of
doubt that so expensive and extensive changes
and so heavy an outlay as will be involved in
the proposed schemes for widening Elm-st and
College place are indispensable to the pros
perity of the city, they should not be entered
upOn.

The three yellow fever patients on the Bos-
ton are so completely isolated from the rest
of the officers and crew that little anxiety need
be felt by the friends of those on board. That
the detention of the vessel and its occupants
at Quarantine is an absolute necessity must be
apparent to every one. Surgeon Simon is an
extremely sick man, and his recovery was al
most desparcd Of yesterday, while the chances
of the two sailors were considered good. 1t
is extremely improbable that any more cases
of fever will occur on the Boston. Of the
communication of the contagion to people on
shore there would seem to be not the slightest

In the Northwest the smalness Of the wheat

weaker and copper a little stronger Wool remains

siffened the market for steel rails large orders

The low prices realized at the large auction
of woollcns are said to have been due in part to
the fact that some of the goods were not of
favorite styles.
The state of trade throughout the Northwest
seems improving, though not entirely answering
expectations. In Southern sections where the
cotton crop has been much injured, there are signs
Of anxiety disappointment in trade. Bank

plea for providing our Seacoast and frontier
line with adequate Notifications. He says that
the time and circumstances are peculiarly Ia
v0rable for entering on this important work.
The suggestion deserves serious attention, but
considering the fate of previous suggestions
to the same effect-notably that of Samuel j.
Tilden-it is safe to say that the carrying Of
il into effect will be left for Republican Con-
gress.
Sam Small gave the third party Prohibi-
tionists several doses of undiluted truth yester-
day, and they didn't relish the medicine bit.
When this free-and-eaSy shOuder-hitter tells
his associates that they indulge in too much
fuss and feathers, that National Prohibition
politics is all wrong, that they place party
above principle, he gives them solid facts and
homey common sense. OF course he stirred
up hornet. nest but when the meeting closed
there was more buxzing around the ears of his
opponents than in the neighborhood Of his own.
The gloomy souled prophets who have been
foretelling a series of billiards this winter
rivalling that of last March were in a position
yesterday to say Il told you 500 And in
truth a repetition Of the experience of March
12 did not seem a remote improbabiity when
one faced the bOisterOus wind and the driving
snow and sleet. Had the temperature been
10 or 20 degrees lower and had the fall of
snow been heavier, the conditions for a biz
gard wonld have been provided. AS it was, the
Atlantic Coast experienced rude introduction
to winter, and the timid are justified in looking
forward with some trepidatiOn to the rigors
which the cold season may have in store. The
storm was practically confined to the seaboard,
and, it is likely, was most severely felt on the
ocean. 1t extended inland as far as the cen
trail part of the State, but nowhere was there
more than few inches Of snow. A cOntin-
uance of the high wind, which yesterday
reached thirty miles an hour is predicted for
to-day, but it will probably be accompanied
with clear skies.
Gradually the precise result Of the election
i'm this State is becoming known, although the
State Board of Canvassers has as yet only com
pleted the work of counting the vote cast for
Presidential electors. Accurate totals for Gov
ernor, Lieutenant-Go Judge of the
Court of Appeals and the Constitutional
Amendment are. however, presented in THE
TRIBUNE this morning. In the Presidential
footings it is curious 10 note that Belva Lock
wood, the candidate Of the Equal Rights party
is credited with only single vote. Presum-
ably others were cast for her, but if so, they
arc forever lost to sight in the limbo Of Scat
tcring" The plurality for Hill, 1913, is
3,l3l less than that for Jones, while Judge
