UNE1SINESS IN EUROPE.

Althoigb scarcely two weeks have elapsed
since the evcntful day on which Prince Bis
marck's resignation was accepted by the En-
pcror. the political outlook in Europe has had
time to undergo an ominous change. All ma
tions alike seem to have regarded the great
Chancellor as the principal guardian of the
peace as the man who possessed both the de-
sire and the power TO MAINTAIN 1t In Its III
tecrity and the first effect OF his disappear
ance has been TO cause every ruler on the Con
tinent TO lay an uneasy hand on the hllt OF the
sword Orders have been issued by the War
DEPARTMENT at St. Petersburg for the i'm
mediate concentration Of two divisions OF in
fantly and twelve regiments OF cavalry on the
Austrian and Rumanian frontiers, although
there is already a large Russian force stationed
in the district. King Charless Ministers have
appeaed to the Rumanian Chamber to vote
without delay the S12,0O0,O0O required Tor
the completion Of the various fortlhcatl0ns
around Bucharest. France is reported to have
already taken steps for the increase OF her
troops along the eastern boundary line. and at
Berlin the Government has announced lis in
tention of demanding from the Rcichstag funds
for the creation Of no less than seventy-four
new batteries Of field artillery. Even little
Switzerland is quietly making preparations and
clearing her decks in view of the storm which
she regards as imminent.

BILL TO PROMOTE QUACKERE

The State Senate has Just passed and sent to
the Assembly bill repeating the salu'ary law
Of 1889. recurring of medical students pre-
liminaiy examination under the dirc'uoh oi
the Regents of the University. The measure
is small and unobtruSive, and from the ease
with which it went through the senate we con
clude that il must be slippery aS well. Inc
Assembly ought to put an end forthwith to It's
brief and unwholcsome existence.
The facility with which incompetent ana lg-
nolant men have obtained permission to put the
lives of their fellow creatures IN jeopardy has
long been general misfortune and scandal
and special reproach to noble profession.
Gradually a demand for a higher standard ol
medical education has come into existence IN
spired by conscientious practitioners and rcpu-
table schools of medicine. Last year this de
mand was embodied in law which provided III

degree should be graduated from a medical
school who had not received. prior to his al
mission. a certificate of reasonable proficiency

a guarantee that dense ignorance and vnlgarity
shall not be licensed to prey upon the credultS
and the msfortuncs OF mankind. The law
establishing these requisites was step IN INC
richt direction. II was welcomed by the pro
fcssion, and by every intelligent citizen who has
been called on to undergo, or even 70 observe,

THE F4SSETT RAPID TRANSIT BILL

THE FASSETT RAPID-TRANSII BILL
The Fasse't Rapid Transit bill, as amended
by the senate Railway Committee after care
fu considerations is in most respects ahlhlf-
able. and much better calculated successfully
TO solve the problem Of rapid transit than MAYOR
Grants bill The amendments have all been
in the right direction There is no reason why
the benefits Of the measure should be restricted
to Ncw-YorIi if the other largest cities OF the
state desire to take advantage Of them; there
fore it was wise 10 make the bill applicablc 10
cities Of more than 100000 inhabitants, which

ing that four Republicans and four Democrats
shall be chosen by the Governor and confirmed
by the Senate. In the selection of routes the
Mayor Of the city concerned IS 10 be cx-oillcio
a member Of the Board.
But excellent as the bill is with these amend
mcnts. there are some other changes essential
10 prevent a misuse Of its provisions IN TINS
city and Brooklyn. This is particularly true
with reference to the remarkable privileges
and advantages afforded to the existing Gle
waited railroads. For instance, the bill pro
vides that the Commissioners shall have no
authority to lay out the route of an under
ground or any other kind Of railway under or
above the surface OF "A street along which an
elevated railway shall be constructed. Why
should the monopoly Of the streets by the pres
ent companies be promoted and protected in
that way? Suppose, for example, it should be
found that the most practicable or the only
feasible route for an underground railway was
through the Bowery, or Third-avc., or Sixth
ave under the terms OF the bill as IT now
stands this could be prevented by'the Man
haitian Company No good public purpose
could be served on the contrary, it might be Il
serious obstacle in the way of successful rapid
transit, while the only benefit would accrue to
the grasping corporation that is now trying to
resist the efforts of the city'S Controller to en-
force the payment of the claim for percentages
upon receipts. In fact. there is nothing in this
company's relation to the city. from its struggles
to avoid the payment Of the taxes upon Its
structure to the manner in which it has used
a portion of the Battery Park, that would en-
title it TO such extraordinary protection. Non
have the Brooklyn companies much stronger
| claims upon the community.
| But there is much more serious defect in
the bill as it now stands. 1t provides that the
