Is named who, II is alleged, had personal reasons.
But he would never have been able to accomplish any
thing whatever had II not been for the unpadonable
unAmercan and peposerous attitude OF the managers
Of the New York society," which offended many oil TIE
members of the society itself and nun
dreds of the best citizens OF our neigh
boring States, and led the latter to organize an
Independent movement. 1t these other men, their
work. influence and money, who have built up the
S. A. Il. Society to magnificent position, not the one
who governed by personal reasons" ana
who has official connection whatever with the
S. A. r. movement. Remember that every society
S. A. r. would to-day be in CORDIAL aliation with the
New-Yok S. R., except for the absurd and untenaoie
attempt of the managers Of the latter society to dc
tate. 1t is the managers OF the New York Society
themselves who have made all the trouble 1t Is not
the householder defending his property who Is re-
sponsble foc the bloodshed, but the burglar VINO is
invading his rights.
There has been no secession" from the New-York
s. R. except by men like william Waldorf Astor General
H. c. King General Alexander S. Webb. j. c. Pumpely
and MANY Others who have become disguised with
the MANAGEMENT of the society some OF them nave
Joined the S. A. r., but the 5. A. X. movement was
never a secession" 1t was an independent move
ment in large part protest against the exercise by
New-York of authority never granted to it by its
charter
II would occupy more space than The Tribune can
afford 10 60 on and reply at length to all the questions
of Outsider" In brief, however, 1t may be said that
there has been no haste In admitting members 10
the S. A. r. than 10 the S. r. The S. A. r. were the
first to perfect a rigid and proper application blank,
and the NewYork S. Il. have actually adopted 1t, and
are using it to-day. What has built up the S. A. r.
so rapidly is the attempt Of the NewYok Society to
dictate to the whole county. The s. A f., In spirit
Of goodfellowshp and in order to avoid even the ap
pearance of evil and Of rivalry. have three or four
times proposed conference With the S. r.. with refer
ence to lnion These propositions have been met
once with insult always with dscourtesy The Hart
ford convention willing to remain on record as
favorng union, but resolved to extend no further
invitations. This action dignifed, courteous ana
rational and it leaves the responsibility Of fight upon
the S. r. Tie NewYork S. r. have been discredited
by ther overwhelming defeat in the matter OF exercis
ing National authority and both the outsiders" and
the insiders" Of that society might well now exercise
the virtue of charity, and indeed try the expedenV Oh
searching the record OF the managers OF the New-forK
Society s. R. for large part of the blame OF the
present situation H. H.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir The question of rapid transit for the City of
New York is about solved it was two years
ago. AS for the elevated railroad satisfying the
public, think, TO any unbiased mind it is settled that
1t cannot. 1t has been stated that by the granting of
@ little Battery Park much good would result to
the public etc, etc. For any one to see the alb
surdity Of that conclusion all he has to do is to ride
on the Thrdave. line and he will at notice that
trains are run there as frequently though the
railroad company had the whole of the park, or in
other words, frequently it is possible TO them.
Admitting that this is not the case on the Second
Sixth Ninth lines, still the crowded stations
will show, with the actual frequency all lines that
should be the rule, hardly sufficient accommodations
would then be obtained. Two years ago / sug-
gested the plan of stopping at every other station
That would lessen the time between One-hundred and
fty-ffthst. and Battery Park ten to fifteen minutes
since then ! have noticed the suggestion made
by two others. on saturday last, about O'Clock IL
was really unpleasant for man TO sit still and
many ladies getting at FOurteenthst., so on up
to Forty secondst., and having TO hang fast by the
women felt as though they had obtained prize get
a seat and they much inclined to give it up
l think the opening Of Thlrd-ave I'm the fall to
cable line will do much good. II will greatly lessen
the number the elevated, and unless a change is
made the elevated, the time by cable will be as
satisfactory. Would it not be good point TO grant
to every line running north and south the privilege
Of substituting cable for horses II they desired.
Then dividends would be quickly doubled Another
consderaon-it would greatly reduce the cost Of the
consideration. p. A. WORTHLEY

No horse can draw load without the aid OF his head

A SUGGESTION AS TO A STATUE OF s. S. COX.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have too much faith in the art committee o.
parks to believe that the groteque statue to sun
set7 Cox will be allowed TO occupy site In Central
Park. Even II the work meritoriOus, mon
ument to Mr. Cox would be entirely out Of place In
Central Park He was an able and useful
member of Congress- but In no sense he greaa
man. As | understand IT, the only motive for the
monument is the service Of Mr.. Cox in Congress In be-
half Of the postmen for the enactment OF the Eight
Hour law and for this service II is proposed TO erect
statue to his memory In the place where stand the
monuments OF Humboldt Schiller, Morse, Webster and
Burns Let the postmen OF New York and Brooklyn
place this statue in OF public cemeteries, where
all that Is g0tesque In art has opportunity for full

have proper idea Of the eternal fitness of things"

beg to offer the following solution Of this Vexed
and urgent problem In addition to the present law re-
gardng the health and moral character Of Immigrants,
LET Congress enact a law making it compulsory for
adult male immigrants to renounce upon oath, at the
place of landing all allegiance to any foreign Govern

to the Constitution and Government OF the United
States in return for which they should be given

as Iaturazed citizens under the present law with this
exception that the right Of suffrage be withheld Tor
probationary period OF five years, when should be
granted them the same conditions and In the same
manner as naturalization certificates under the present
law. This would give foreigners TO understand thae
