THE REDIsTRIOTING ACT.

The Bill to Divide the Fourth Militia

The governor having signed the bill pro
viding for redistricting of the city, Mayor
schwarz says that ell that now remains is
for the city council to pass a resolution pro-
viding for an extra box for the fourth dis
trict for municipal elections. The law does
not provide for increasing the districts at
county, state or national elections, but ap-
plies only to elections for municipal officers,
and is the result OF the last municipal cleo
tion, hen many residents Of the fourth dis
trict were unable, owing to the rush. to
cast their votes. The fourth district is to be
DIVIDED into two districts, each of which is
totbe provided with box at the regular
polling place, so that all may vote.

ANTI-BOUL4NGIST LEGISLATION.

The French Republicans are making siren
uouS eXertions to carry the approaching cleo
tons and to bury Boulangism out of sight. The
election bill called up without warning in the
Chamber of Deputies and passed on Saturday
marks departure from traditional methods.
1t prohibits plural candidates.. Arrondisse-
ment or district elections were substituted for
the scrutin de liste, or department elections a
few months ago in order to deprive General
Bouanger of the privilege of standing for a
large number of departments simultaneously,
and also of increasing his prestige by securing
a series Of successive elections by large bodies
Of voters. The scrutin darondi SSement is now
modified so as to exclude the simultaneous cleo
ton Of the same candidate in many districts.
General BOulanger and his heutenantS will be
required to choose their districts and to stand
each for one only; and ii they are at the head
of more than one poll the votes cast for them
will be thrown out and the candidate next on
the list will be declared elected The General
will be eligible for election in only one district,
and ballots thrown for him elsewhere will be
Illegal and excluded in the official count. Theirs
and Gambetta as well as Louis Napoleon were
candidates in more than one district, and the
expedient has invariably been sanctioned by
public opinion as useful one, as it has also
been approved under limitations in England
where Lord PalmcrstOn, Mr. Gladstone, Lord
Randolph Churchill, Mr.. Pamel and many
other statesmen have been elected to Parlia-
ment By more than one constituency. The
new law prohibits the practice, and effectualy
invalidates plural candidates..
The action of the Republican Deputies will
have the double effect of hampering the Bou-
langiStS and of magnifyug the importance of
the coalition movement. The Generals name
cannot be used as magnet to attract various
classes of discontented voters. They will be
compelled to cast their ballots for candidates,
more or less obscure, who proclaim themselves
to be Boulangists; and the effect of his per-
sonal popularity or prestige will be materially
lessened. On the other hand, the passage of
so drastic mea sure on the eve of the elections
is signal proof Of Republican dread of Bou-
langism. The deliberate choice Of the most
formidable weapons for the defence of the ex-
isting political order implies doubtful contest
with dangerous and powerful adversary.
Both the Imagination and the judgment Of
electors will be impressed with the eXtTaOr-
binary precautions taken against Boulangism

Senate and driven into exile the scrutin do

WHAT NEXT

If the ancient worthy whose experience and
observation led him to formulate the theory
that whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad should revisit these gIimpses of the
moon in the latitude Of Newly or; he would
be apt to remark: 81 told you so just look
at Tammany IIall.n Up to a certain point the
merry game of transferring municipal spells to
the. Fourteenth-st. braves was watched by the
people at large, so far as it was watched at all,
with amusement or Indifference, according to
the temperament of the beholder, and ii af-
forded unbomded satisfaction to the victorious
participants. Later on some claims OF foul
play were muttered under the breath, but on
the whole it was lovely game in the eyes of
Tammany. But now that most Of the big
prizes have been awarded, while scores of
braves are still camoring for recognition, the
situation is rapidly becoming complicated The
latest evidence of this is seen in the cold fare
we'll extended to Warden Finn as a preliminary
to welcoming Mr.. Ledwith as his successor, and
in Mr.. Firms determination not to let the city
be deprived of his services without struggle
If the Warden had been County Democracy
heather his displacement by one of the elect
from Tammany would have been regarded as
a highly proper and meritOrious action; but it
happens that he has always regarded himself
as bright and shining light in the Fourteenth
st. galaxy and it is more than flesh and blood
can stand to be subjected to such an irregular
and ignominious fate. The mgodly are as
serting that his misfortune and his fault are
that he has never sufficiently recognized the
inherent greatness of Alderman Diver, though
the Commissioners were busy yesterday in TAX
ing affidavits that this consideration never en-
tered into their heads Such mysteries as this
it does not become outsiders to profane with
scrutiny and conjecture; but, Diver or no
Diver, it is simply dreadful to think of Tam
many man going around with his brothers
scalp at his belt The streets of Newly ork
need cleaning badly enough, but nobody wants
to see them washed in fraternal blood.

THE NEW MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

The announcement that all the stock of the
Madison Square Garden Company has been
taken is not less agreeable because it comes
as surprise. 1t is only few weeks since a
statement was published, apparently on au-
thority, that the public had neglected to sub
scribe for that part of the stock which the
promoters desired to be distributed in small
holdings; also, that negotiations with an Eng
lish syndicate had fallen through, and that IN
consequence, the whole project was likely to be
abandoned 1t does not appear in just what
manner the stock has now been taken, but the
character and resources of the men who are
known to own the greater part of it make that
point of minor Importance, though it is de-
sIable that the sort of interest which pro-
p1etorShip stimulates should not be confined to
few individuals. The main thing is to Sc
cure such an institution as the company has in
contemplation, aud that now seems to be as
sured
With many costly and beautiful places of
amusement, New ork has always lacked suit
able accommodations for many forms of di-
version and instruction. We have never had
large, commodious, accessible and well-ap-
pointed concert-room nor n hall capable of &C
commodatng great audience such as assem-
bles for instance at national convention.
The shabby building which covers the Madison
Square site has long been made to serve var-
Gus important purposes, to which it was adapt
ed in no other particular than size, and has at
the same time given shelter to numerous exhi-
billions which the city would have been better
without, and which, it may be taken for grant
ed, will never be repeated in the new struct-
ure. But such n combination of facilities as is
now promised has hitherto seemed beyond rea-
sonable expectation, and if the present project
had fallen through there would have been a
very small prospect of the future realization Of
any similar design. There are few sites left on
the island which are adapted to the purpose,
and there is no other which possesses so many
advantages as the block bounded by Fourth
and Madison ayes, Twenty and Twenty
seventh SITS 1t is midway between the finan-
cial centre of the city and its northern bOun-
da1y and it is likely to remain for many years
to come the focus of a larger population than
any other neighborhOod.
Much has been written about the manifold
uses to which the new Madison Square Garden
will be applied, and it is unnecessary to
enumerate them again. 1t will undoubtedly
become an indispensable element in city life,
but it will accomplish one of its most valuable
purposes in way not generally thought Of.
1t is the intention of the liberal and emil ghtened
men who control the enterprise to replace one
of the most hideous and dismal buildings in eX-
istence with noble piece of architecture, and
we do not know that any object which their de-
signs contemplate is likely to give more con
slant and genuine pleasure and instruction than
this.

liste, which Gambetta advocated as necessary
condition of Republican progress has been aban'
doned, and draconc law against plural can
didacies is now whipped through the Chambers
with a precipitate rush. The inference to be
drawn from these various demonstrations is one
which may prove helpful to the Bouangists.
They must be formidable and have an excel
lent chance of winning, for otherwise these
unusual efforts to crush them would not be
put forth by the Republicans. Gigantic war
fare against General Boulanger seems to as
sumo the existence of giant in opposition who
may be victorious.
There is also another aspect Of the anti
Bouangst legislation. While it indicates fear
of reaction against the Republic it embodies
an infexible determination on the part of the
Government and the majority of the legislators
to exhaust all the resources of the Constitution
and political power in defending existing insti-
tutons and averting impending dangers In
this sense the attitude of Ministers and Deputies
commands respect, and can hardly fail to pro-
duce favorable impression upon French opin-

THE TALK or RAILRO1D TRUSTS.

Some years ago it was said :" If in this cOun-
try the Government undertakes to run the rail
roads, it will end in the railroads running the
Government" Nothing like the fufilment of
the prediction has appeared The Interstate
Act is long step toward control of transporting
companies by the Government But that step
does not yet 60 far enough to force the railroad
companies into practical union of influence and
effort in any section. In fact, as the events Of
the last two weeks have shown, the act appears
to have made it only more difficult for the COM
panies to agree and to stay agreed.
Yet the last word has not been spoken on
either side. State laws have gone 50 far beyond
National legislation in some of the States that
the Interstate Act is scarcely felt at all. The
power of the great corporations certainly ap-
pears to be less than it was ten or twelve years
ago in most of the States and in some it is
hardly more than negative quantity What
ever candidate or policy the railroads are sup
posed to favor must be defeated-that is the first
law of political life in such States. And even
in others, where the corporations formerly held
almost unb ounded power, the reaction has been
so great that their wishes are openly and con
stantly disregardcd.
That is the first swing of the pendulum, and
the next may be the other way Experience in
Governmental regulation of transporting lines,
especially in States where the power has been
most unWiSely used, is liable to cause a reaction
So a decline from g. 600 miles Of railroad built
in year to 400 completed in half the present
wear is a change which must be widely felt and
in time there may come disposition to encour-
u
Whenever that comes State and National laws
may be much modified, but in the meantime the
railroads themselves may perhaps be pushed into
closer combination with each other.
The revival of discussions regarding the feast
bilty of a railroad trust has no other practical
outcome For the State laws cannot be modified
nor the National Interstate law except as the
result of public conviction that these enact
mentS do not serve the public interest. While
they stand and enforced, no conceivable
combination Of railroads can get rid Of the diff
culties which the attempt to regulate by law has
produced, and if all the railroads in Iowa were
combined under one ownership they could
hardly do more than they have done to contest
in the courts the regulations prescribed under
the State law. The combination of railroads
would no doubt greatly increase the power of
the corporations to influence public opinion. and
particularly to make it understood that State
and National interests had not been promoted
by Governmental interference, but it is difficult
TO see in what other direction wholesome sou.
ton Of the problem could thereby be promoted.
In most Of the States there already exist laws
which render the formation and management of
a railroad trust exceedingly difficult, if not i'm
possible. Laws directly aimed at trust organi
cations have been recently passed, or are likely
