TILE NEW 1QEEDTCT.

The remarkable series of articles which THE
TRIBUNE has been printing upon the new aque-
duct was closed in the issue of yesterday. No
writer for the press had been able to make
so thorough an examination of the interior of
this great tunnel as was made by the author
of these articles Not only did he visit and
inspect every part of the work which 1t was
possibe for him to inspect, but he described the
various features of the mighty enterprise with
fidelity a care and an'eNlctneSS that nave rarely
been approached and never surpassed in any
publication concerning the aqueduct. He had
some remarkable adventures and experiences
and his dcsccntS of shafts by means OF ice
covered ladders, fastened to rough and Jagged
walls. presenting menacing Instructions were
not without serious peril to life as well as to
limb. But he succeeded in studying and de-
scribiug every detail Of the construction, OK
ccpt the huge SiphonS, through which no one can
now possibly pass because they are full of
water.
The representative of TIE TRIBUNE has re-
counted the incidents of his journeys under
ground with exceptional ability and rarely en-
tertaining style But some of the results of his
researches, as narrated by him, are of a grave
and momcntouS character. lie has looked upon
the overwhelming proofs Of tremendous frauds
rs they may be seen in the walls of the big tun
mel. 1t is plain beyond question that some of
the contractors have been guilty Of the bodcSt
and most extensive dishonesty. And yet these
contractors are bazcn enough TO expect through
political influence TO recover millions OF dollars
from the city for construction that was so fiail,
50 vile and 50 wicked that if it had not been
rebuilt the new apucduct would not have been
safe for an hour, and the water supply Of two
millions of men, women and children would
h<yc been in constant danger
The careful study of the whole subject pub
lishcd by The TRIBUNE in the last three sun
DAYS has made il, readers acquainted with the
story of the detection of the aqueduct frauds,
with the exact condition Of the work and with
the prospects of the new water supply. BIT
Just a, il was completing its series OF articles an
extraordinary attempt was made 10 palm of
matter flchcd from its columns as a new and
original sensation" secured by enterprise in
another quarter. II WAS astonishing that any
one should be SO audacious rs TO claim credit for
stealing facts and figures bodily from this pa
per and dressing them mp with little gamSh-
ing in the effort 10 create the impression that
they had never seen the light before TIE
TRIBUNE took mp this ground and explored
it thoroughly. 1t has the right TO warn off
plaglarists and poachers on its preserves.

KINGS TACKIYG TO VLYDWARD.

The marvellous progress and prosperity Of
France, resulting from twenty years Of Re
publican rule, and 50 magniliccnty illustrated
by the Paris Exhibition Of last year, are re-
garded with dismay by the princes and potcn-
tates of the Old World. Nor can their ill-will
in the matter give any cause for surprise. For
they are beginning to appreciate the effect
which the aspect of the France Of to-day is cy-
crtisng upon the minds Of their subjects, who
are rapidly being brought thereby to realize
the full advantages Of Republican form Of
Government.
Perceiving the necessity of lacking to wind
ward and of attempting TO guide the current
Of democracy which they are pOwercSS TO stem,
European monarchs are beginning to profess
doctrines Of democracy and of even downright
Socialism, not in accord with their past his
tory or their present condition. Indeed, these
royal and imperial humantarians 90 even
further than the demands put forward by tho
most advanced leaders Of the popular move
ment, and urge the adoption of reforms 50
utopian as to raise doubts concerning their
sincerity. Emperor Williams rcScrpt regard
ing the welfare Of the labOring classes has al
ready provoked protest on the part Of En-
perN Francis Joseph, who accuses him Of steal
ing his thunder, and of obtaining credit for a
programme Of reforms identical with that
which was submitted by His Austrian Majesty
TO the Berlin Government in 1872, and which
was pigcOnholcd at the time by Prince Bis
marck. The Prince of Wales has even gone a
step further than his Imperial nephew, and has
written a public letter recommending the ap-
pointment OF wOrkingmen to seats on the
magisterial and judicial bench He does not,
however, cOndeSccnd to explain how the labor
Ing men in question are to administer a code
of so intricate and complex a nature, and one
which requires long years OF study and practice
before the requisite amount of knowledge is at
tanned. The climax, however is reached by
poor old Dom Pedro, who processes himself
prepared to accept Office under the Republican
Government at Rio, and even to serve term
as President of Brazil if elected to the Chief
Magistracy.
In Norway, Italy, Spain and Portugal the
cry Of Long live the Republic" is far more fire.
quenty heard to-day than cheers for the re-
spectve sOvereigns, and the latter are anX-
iouSly considering what sacrifice they can
make in order to prOpitiate public opinion and
reconcile 1t at least for time TO the throne.
| The only two monarchs who absolutely refuse
to march with the times or to conciliate their
subjects are the King OF Denmark and the
Emperor Of Russia. The former persists in
retaining the Conservative Cabinet OF VI.
Estrup. although for fifteen years past the
Liberals have possessed an overwhelming ma
iOrity in the National Legislature and have re-

THE DFCREPIT NEW CAPITOL.

The movement to procure by taxation from

~ 600 600 or thcrcaboutS for the completion
of the CAPITOL at Albany seems to have conSd'
cradle life in it. For this reason it may be
worth while to ask once more what basis any
body has for the belief that the work will be
actually done for that amount. The new Cap

THE rRrBUYE,s POSITION COMMENDED.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: "The New York sun Of February IL heads
its account Of the action Of the Worlds Fair Commit
tee with these significant words; No Republicans
need apply That sentence moves me 10 add my
mite OF commentator to the course Of The Tribune in
favoring the Senate amendments to the Worlds Fair
bill believe there are plenty OF Republicans who
can be non partisan, even when in control Of the
Worlds Fair funds. do not believe Republican legis
latOrs should join with the Democratic party in op
posing Commission which would surely be non Demo
cratic. To place the electoral vote Of New-York in
the column Of Democratic states in 1892 would.
10 my mind, be a calamity somewhat beyond even
that OF transferring the site Of the Worlds Fair from
New York 10 some other city. The vehement demands
of Governor Hill and his friends that the original bill
should pass would 10 fully justify the senate in
demanding that fammany Han shall not disburse tho
Worlds Fair funds. II Worlds Fair committee hav.
ing majority of Republicans cannot bc trusted 10 be
non partisan. surely Hill Democrats cannot be thought
sincere in claiming that the Commission originally
named would be non partisan Yours truly.
