Everything Il Moving Up Towu

NEW 10Th ntIAlNI
There isn't the slightest doubt that the site
for the new municipal building should be
well up town.
While the public are not exactly excited
they show a good deal Of hearty interest IN
this subject.
OF course opinion is divided, as naturally it
would be Those who think they will be per-
sonally Inconvenience are rather vigorous in
their denunciation of the project. That is all
right They want things handy for them
selves, and if they happen to forget the gen.
eral welfare in their too eager gaze at their
own advantage. We can easily forgive their
emphatic protests.
The large majority Of opinion is. however
the other way. There is a general recogni-
ton OF the fact that the central point Of ac-
tiyity has been gradually moving northward.
There is no particular reason why we should
continue to hug the Battery That was well
enough generation ago. but our necessities
have changed. and when we build it is absurd
TO build for the past rather than the future
We owe something TO those who are 10 come
after US. and no reasonable man can doubt
that a city hall on Fourteenth. Twenty third
or Forty-second street would very greatly
benefit the New York Of twenty years hence
IL would be an objectionable blunder to fix
upon a more southern site for that important
ediice. We may as well keep pace with the
march Of events. and if the business of the
city is moving, our municipal buildings must
move with II. Patriotism, pride in the growth
OF New York and good citizenship furnish
sufficient reason for looking To some more
northerly. point than Printing House Square
as the only proper place to build.

COMPARATIVE RAILWAY FARES.

In an interesting and valuable article in the
! April number If the Forum. Mr. Arthur T. Had
ley discusses at somelength the question, which
isnow attracting considerableattcntion at the
North, rs TO whether a reduction in railroad
fares would cause as large an increase in
travel in this country rs has recently followed
a similar reduction on the continent Of Eu-
rope. Mr. Hadley has reached conclusions
which are adverse 10 the probability Of the
change being attended in the United States
with the success which has been observed
abroad, and his conclusions rest upon basis
which appears to be sound.
The managers Of American railways are fully
aware Of the advantages TO be gained from
large train loads, but in this country. and the
same thing is true of England there IS a de
mand for trains at convenient times, and in
order to secure such trains both the English
and American people are prepared to make
pecuniary sacrifices.
On the European continent. on the other
hand, there Is for several reasons a demand
for cheapness Of transportation. and the peo-
pie are content toendure with patience incon-
venences which neither EnSlshmen nor
Americans would suffer. Very cheap fares can
only be justified by very large train loads,
which reduces the expense of actual transport
tation. A train is run twelve miles in the
United States annually for every man, woman
and child. in Great Britain eight miles, in
Germany OF France a little less than four
miles. in Austria not much more than mile
and half
The American and English trains are not
only more frequent and better than those
of continental Europe in their appointments,
but they are run at a much higher rate of
speed. In Germany and France for instance,
the rateiof speed ranges from twenty-five TO
thirt y-tve miles an hour. In the United
States and England, on the other hand, the
maximum speed rises as high as fifty, or even
! sixty miles an hour.
The cheap fares of continental Europe are
also due in large part 10 cheap wages. IF a
man makes only five cents an hour" Mr..
Hadley very pertinently remarks, he can af-
ford to wait an hour TO save five cents. II he
makes ten cents an hour, he cannot do so. II
he makes fifty cents an hour he is very far
from being able 10 do so. To the man who
earns high wages. economy Of time is more
valuable than slight difference in railroad
fares. He can afford to pay five or ten cents
moro for the sake Of having trains run when
he wishes For long distances he can afford
TO pay fifty cents or dollar more for the sake
of having them run fast The Hungarian
would prefer, for the sake of saving
a dollar on the fare between New
York and Philadelphia, TO wait half day
for his train and then 10 take four or five
hours for the journey The American would
rather pay dollar more to have train run
when he needs it and to have it 60 as fast a.
possible. In proportion 70 dsnsitY of pQpuls-

NEW 10TH QUILL
His Eminenee Cardinal Gibbons. the dis:
tnguished Roman Catholic Archbishop or
Baltimore. discourses thus in an article IN the
North American Review for April:
The economic conditions in the United
States are fast approaching those of England.
The homes of the poor are more marked by
restitution and squalor the light of heaven -

themselves together, and sometimes resort TO
deeds Of violence"
We cannot speak for England. nor for Balti-
more. but If the homes of the poor in New
York are such rs the Cardinal describes them.
our board OF health is sadly remiss in the
discharge of its duties. Our impression IS
that the tenement houses in this city are
fairly clean. well lighted and well ventilated.
As 10 flesh and blood daily becoming more
CHEAP and bread more dear" that. too. con-
flicts with the information which We get about
the rates of wages and the prices Of provisions.
Where the strong men. maddened by the tears
OF wife md cries of starving children are 70
be found. we are also ignorant; and we very
much fear that the venerable prelate has been
carried away by his imagination 10 aver that
which is not so.
The poor in this country are poor, 10 be
sure. but they are by no means the wretched
creatures he supposes them to be; they are
very much better off than they ever We're
before in the history Of the world: and their
condition is steadily improving, though IN
the nature Of things. and as 1t has been from
the beginning Of society. this improvement
is gradual and not spasmodlc.

judgment, that the extension of fares to sec

Pathology OF a Broken Heart"

That severe mental distress or fright some
times produces physical disease. and OCCASION

the way in which it acts has hitherto been but
little studied In order in some measure 10
supply the deficiency In our knowledge re-
cardng this matter, DR. G.. Bassi has recently
made number Of observations on animals

ture. Birds mOles and dog which had sue

resemble those known among human beings
as acute nostalgia and "a broken heart" We're

more especially of the liver, also fatty and
granular degeneration Of their elements, and
sometime bile was found in the stomach with
or without catarrhal condition. The clint
cal symptoms were at first those OF excite
ment. especially in the birds, these being fol-
lowed by depression and persistent anoreXa.
The theory suggested by DR.. Bassl Is that
the nervous disturbance interferes with the
due nutrition If the tissues in such a way as
to give rise 10 the formation Of toxic sub
stances probably ptomaines - which then
set up acute degeneration Of the parenchyma-
tous elements similar 10 that which occurs in
consequence of the action OF certain poison
Gus substances such as PHOSPHORUS. or 10
that met with in some infectious diseases. in
support of this view he points ont that Schulz
has found parenchymatOus degeneration IN
persons dead from acute delirium. and that
henker found hemorrhages in the pancreas in
persons who had died suddenly; he refers also
to some wel-mown facts concerning negroes
in a state Of slavery and to the occasional oc-
currance Of iaundice after fright He hopes
that these hints may induce medical officers
