about matter that viii affect her so greatly.


Little progress was made with the Rapid
Transit bill yesterday, although the matter was
discussed in both branches of the Legislature
In the Assembly Mr.. Crosby's motion to pass
the bill at once and let the Senate, which has
more time to devote to the subject, proceed with
the work of amending IT, was defeated, and the
bill was laid on the table by a vote of so to
SO. The Senate. after undoing its work Of the
previous day, devoted considerable time to
amending the measure. One amendment that
requiring Rapid-Transit Commissioners chosen
from outside Of the city to be engineers, was
accepted in behalf Of Mayor Grant Far more
important than this was the amendment per-
hitting the use of Broadway for rapid-transit
road, which was adopted by IL to Ia. That
there will be a prolonged struggle over the
bill is increasingly apparent and the probability
is there will be so many amendments that the
measure will assume very different form from
that in which it was introduced. That how
ever is not what is wanted by the people Of
this city. Up at Albany large amount Of
politics is seen in the bill, and evidently there
is the fear that Mayor Grant will get too much
glory out of it.

UUuRIE HERO.
purpose.

A heroic deed, which saved ono life at the
cost Of another, was donc in Jersey City yesterday
Patrick McTamany, for twenty years an employe
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, had just opened
switch for freight car which locomotive was
rapidly pushing toward him, when boy stepped
upon the track. He would have been cut down
in an instant but McTamany was not afraid to
try to save his life. lie sprang in front OF the
car, threw the boy aside and the next moment
was knocked down and ground TO pieces.
The swltchman may have hoped to escape, but
he was not novice, and he must have known
what chances he was taking Even IL he acted
on impulse and without deliberate calculation, the
impulse was sublime. Regardless of himself, he
leaped to save another. But thought is sw1fter
than car.wheels, and it may well be that Nolan
any had time to comprehend the sacrifice that he
was making, and was consciously willing to die
OF his post His name belongs upon the roll Of
heroes

The immediate necessity in the Rock creek

The immediate necessity in the Rock creek
park project is to secure the necessary land to
take advantage of a present willingness by
some owners to donate, and to condemn the
remainder at present low valuations. It is not
necessary that the full amount of money re-
quired for q completed park shall be immedi-
stely supplied, one-hslf from the surplus and
current resources of the District. 1t should
not be necessary for the District to pay at this
time even its one-half Of the cost Of the land.
The national government should advance what
ever may be necessary for that purpose, and
be reimbursed gradually by the District, as in
the case of the alleged water-works' extension.
The expense could thus be distributed among
present and future taxpayers, and the latter
would have the advantage Of enjoying their
park while contributing toward it, and of
securing the land at the comparatively cheap
rates at which it can now be obtained. There
are many reasonable demands which draw
upon the current income of the District and
which need to be considered if the appropria-
ton of large lump sum to a single improve
ment, however worthy, is proposed 1t is OF
the highest Importance to establish the pro-
posed park. In view of the increase of values
in the Rock creek region, and the growing
danger Of destruction of its picturesque fea-
lures, the park must be secured soon or not at
all But 90 far as the District is concerned, if
the cost of improvement is to be heavy, pro-
vision might be made, as above suggested, for
paying il in annual installments. BY this plan
the immediate action which is desirable in re-
spect to the park could be authorized without
involving the slightest neglect Of any of the
city's current needs.

1gnatius Donnelly is anything but cipher
statesman He is setting good many pans
out over night in the Minnesota political sap
bush and ought to get good deal of sweeten-
ing by and by. He is credited with leading
the grangers into the procession behind Gov
Merriam last fall, Merriam being millionaire
banker interested in many lines of industry not
supposed to be particularly friendly to farmers.
There are also said to be numerous reasons
Why Senator Davis should be kind to Donnelly,
and now 1t appears Senator Sabin's reelection
is only possible with the aid of Mr.. Donnelly's
friends. With so much output there ought to
be something coming back to Mr.. Donnelly be-
fore long. No man can afford to be a public
benefactor forever.

The reafirmance by the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Stoutenburgh-H ennick
case of the unconstitutionality of the drum
mers' license tax a state regulation of COM
merce between the states is in the line Of the
decision in the Texas case last October. There
is, however, the additional decision that the
District of Columbia is to be viewed as a state
30 far as the constitutional provision concern
ing interstate commerce is concerned. A new
application is furnished Of the old rule that
the District is o state, when burdens
or duties are to be imposed among
the states, but not 30 when benefits are to be
distributed among them. The District is
enough Of state to pay its share of direct
taxes apportioned among the states, and to
be bound by prohibitions upon the states in
respect to the regulation Of commerce, but ID
not enough of a state to permit its citizens to
sue in the federal courts as the citizens of a
state, and when the home-rule planks of politi-
cal platforms come to be construed it finds
difficulty in securing recognition as entitled to
rank in rights and privileges with even the
territories. The suggestion of an Indianapolis
colored man for recorder of deeds of this Dis
trict under the incoming President suggests
that some at least of the republicans will be
troubled with the same forgetfulness of politi-
cal platform promises, or the same inability to
comprehend their scope, that resulted under
the present administration in burdening us
with Matthews and Trotter.

So much money has been spent upon the
aqueduct tunnel and the work is so near COM
pletion that q member of Congress, no matter
how strongly he may. in theory, favor a sur
face aqueduct, should hesitate long before
urging the entire abandonment Of what has
been accomplished. 1t may be necessary to
compel the contractors or their bondsmen at
their own expense to refine the tunnel for the
greater part Of its length; but it seems very
clear that it will be cheaper to the United
States and to the water-takers of the District
to require the tunnel to be completed accord
ing to contract by the men who are under
heavy bonds to do the work than to
surrender what has been already spent
and enter upon a new project. Disregarding
the controversy over the comparative merits of
underground and surface aqueducts in a for
nation like that pierced in the present case,
there seems to be little room for doubt that,
with the work in the stage whichit has reached,
the capital can secure the much-needed in
crease In its water supply more quickly and for
less money by completing the tunnel in sound
and substantial shape than by substituting the
surface aqueduct. II the contrary were dis
covered to be true, Washington would find
itself in an exasperating plight. The city, with
out increase in its water supply, is held liable
for, and the present citizens have been asked
to devote their surplus to the payment of, a
proportionate share of the debt repre-
senting the expense of this tunnel
with its rotten lining, for delays and
Encouragement In the construction
Of which the city and its citizens are not in any
respect responsible. If the tunnel were aban-
doned, Washington would not only be required
by the general government TO pay for water
which II does not get, but for awater-works ex-
tension which does not extend, but which stops
short, solely through the governments blum
ders; and the city, cheered and encouraged by
the result Of the governments first venture,
would be further called upon to share the ex-
pense of another experiment by the same hands
with different scheme Of water-works extern
