BLIzzARDS IND RApID TRANSIT


1t is amusing to read that the mldness of
tie weather has interfered somewhat with tho
work of the subcommittee of the Real Estate
Exchange on Rapid Transit According to this
account the open winter has rendered travel
on the elevated roads comparatively easy and
comfortable, there have not been many urgent
complaints on the part of travellers, and the
subcommittee has suffered for lack of eco
operation" If this account is cOrrect-which
SEEMS hardly possible-the committee feel the
reed Of being spurTed up, and are greved to
ind that nobody is engaged in doing it. If
mis- be So we would suggest that either an
dfOrt be made to ascertain from the committee
low much it will be necessary to spur them up
lefore they will consider themselves fully
pused TO tho work in hand, and then do the
9urring or else get new committee which
will not need any squirting at all. But we
Prefer TO believe that the committee has been
nisepresented.
According TO this theory, il would appear
tlat much of the Inconvenience suffered by
uptown residents in the lack Of rapid transit
is from bad weather, when the running of
Trims is delayed, or, as was the case during
last years blizzard, suspended altogether No
doubt this is an element in the situation, but
W. are inclined 10 believe it n very slight one.
There has been only one blizzard and it may
be great many years before there is another.
So far as weather is concerned. passengers on
the elevated roads have endured sufficient an
nGance even during this mild winter. Ii has
been common occurrence for the cars to be
50 cold al the hours when men arc going TO
business in the morning as TO entail real dis
comfort. But the real difficulty with the ele-
vaed roads is entirely independent OF the
weather. II is, as every one knows, that the
passengers, instead Of being accommodated as
seMrespecting human beings should be, are
necessarily packed together like hogs during
the busy hours, aud that the transit is slow
instead Of rapid If any considerable number
OF members OF the Real Estate Exchange be-
,heve that uptown residents are lukewarm about
rapid transit, because this has been an open
winter, let them employ few men to canvass
that region with petitions to the Legislature
for the adoption OF some measure to secure an
adequate system.
It is TO be hoped that the whole problem
can be dealt with this time on scientific prin-
ciples, and not in the haphazard way in which
e has been treated in the past. The poll
.ticians and the spectators should both be kept
at arms length. We can see no better way
10 handle the subject than by the appointment
OF a commission of whom at least majority
should be engineers. Legislature is not a
body which can solve such difficult question
TO advantageous we have had abundant proofs.

Masterpieces have been ignored, but that the

!, the surface works that ought to have been
allowed TO sink Of their own weight. In short.
tie theory of the suppression of genius, which
/, more or less common, has not a great deal
q evidence to support it. 1t might not require
great deal of courage to assert that a con-
sdtuent part Of genius is the spirit that will not
print itself to be suppressed.
But of all cheap cynicisms that which repre-
s,nts the tendency of criticism as one to crush
ont merit in any field is among the cheapest
and most amusing. There are corrupt,
malicious and ignorant critics, no doubt, but
the major part Of criticism in any department
is honest and kindly, if it is not always we'll
Instructed. Still, even if this were not so, the
fact is never to be forgotten that the fate Of
an art-work must rest, not upon what is said
about it in the newspapers, but upon what it is.
Let us take an example in Mr.. BoucicaulEs own
field. On the night he first produced any one
Of his numerous successes, there were, say.
1 500 persons in the house. The bulk Of them
undoubtedly went away pleased. Probably
each ono OF the auOlence remarked 10 not less
than five persons the next day that he liked
thu play. Probably in day or two more each
one Of these five had communicated to other five
the fact that the play was said to be good. In
lew hours, then, more than 40, 900 persons
would have received directly favorable inn
preston of it. Could corrupt or laundering criti-
cim make Roadway against such great body
of opinion, widening every hour in eoncentric
cirles? No, as Mr.. Boucicault has had album
dmt occasion to know, criticism can encourage
merit by cordial recognition, and can pronounce
the doom of failures but it cannot break down
the one nor convert the other into success
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-02-03
THE PRESS IND THE STAGE

II must have been with some surprise that
MIR. Boucicault was heard the other night to
advance the theory, so ably answered by Mr..
Winter, that the influence Of the newspaper
operated to crush out merit upon the stage.
The surprise must have been the greater, be
cause Mr.. Boucicaults own brilliant success as
a dramatist and actor is direct proof TO the
contrary He has written and adapted many
dramatic failures which no conspiracy OF all
the critics that ever wrote in the English Ian
guage could have forced to success against the
will of the public. In like manner he has
presented many admirable plays which the
critics could not have killed il they had tried,
and so far as we know, they never tried. No
doubt their recognition Of the faults or merits
Of the pieces, as the case might be, helped TO
the more speedy enlightenment of the public.
but If they had written against the facts at any
time, they would simply have blunted their
pens, and their violation of the truth would
have reacted against themselves.
The theory that the success of every book
or picture OF play is threatened by mysterious
cliques, by the inexplicable enmity of publish
ers and managers, who turn deaf ear to
genius unless it has powerful influence at its
back and by critics who must either be bribed
or placated with social attentions Is the key
note of failure and disappointment. IL is, to be
sure, prevalent in a sort Of half-world of art,
where there is tradition, amounting almost to
religious faith, that incomparably brilliant
novels lie for years, unread, upon the shelves
Of publishers; that the painters Of whom the
public hears nothing would be much greater
than the painters who arc already famous IL
they only had n fair chance, whereas they have
Just the same chance TO paint az the others
that tho strange conduct Of the theatre man
ager in producing so many plays that fail, when
he has Browns tragedy in six acts, which would
be certain to make great success, is only TO
be explained by secret luminosity on the part
Of the managers wife to Browns second cousin.
But we do not believe that this is the nc
cepted view in the real world Of art. The fact
is, that, allowing for the frailty Of human iudg-
ment and other errors Of the personal equation.
genius does not usually meet, at least In these
days, with obstacles so formidable as these.
Nowadays the publisher, the pictre-dealer.

uously, and would BIO glad to find il much
oftener than they do. The fact that so MANY

TIE SAMOAN SITUATION.

Prince Bismarcks disavowal' OF the German
nroclan,ation in Samoa is a concession that eX
empts foreigners from the requirements OF mar
tia law. We trust that it has been made In
good faith and that his representatives IL the
islands have been warned against taking pos
session of the administration. In their proc
lamation they asserted the right to search ships
and to control the police arrangements OF the
capital Now under existing treaty law Apa
is free port and neutral territory, and the
German, English and American consuls have
had equal rights in the municipal government
and, furthermore the harbor is also neutral
water in which American and English ships are
exempted from search. The proclamation writ
ually converted the foreign quarter OF the town
into an armed German camp, and subjected
American and English residents to the hard
ships and irritating annoyances OF martiai law
and German police arrangements American
and English ships were also rendered liable TO
penalties for carrying any articles that might
be adjudged contraband of war. 1t is fortunate
that these arbitrary orders have been reversed;
but we await with apprehension the next mail
advices from Samoa. There is a necessary in
terval between the date of the proclamation and
the receipt of -dspatches from Prince Bismarck
disayowing the acts of his subordinates. During
that interval some serious conflict may have
occurred The United States man-of-war Nip
SIC is in the harbor of Apia. II an attempt has
been made to search an American ship or to
violate American rights on shore, the command
or of the Nipsic, who is plucky officer may
have considered it to be his duty to resent any
display of arbitrary authority.
The situation in Samoa is therefore still criti-
CAL One American war has already been
fought over the right Of search. 1t is unfort-
innate that the United States Consul-General is

Mr. Blackjack, the Vice-Consul, with bis IN
