A Trotting Course in the Central Park

Do the gentlemen now agitating the
scheme to put special roadway Tor trot-
ters in tho Central Park appreciate tho ex-
tent OF the alteration which their PROPOSE
ton indicates?
They desire q path along the west side Of
the Park for speeding horses. and everybody
who loves to drive or to see trotter wishes
they might have it. It would DO delightful
to stroll along Eighth avenue. from Sixtieth
street to Ono Hundredth street. to watch the
trotters in full blast instead Of being obliged.
IL one wishes to see them in unrestrained ac-
ton, to go beyond Macomb's Dam. But for
such roadway a great deal more space
would be required than suf1lces now from
GADE Cases old house to Jerome Park. A
great many more horses would turn out for
n spin, we're it possible. in the heart Of tho
city, than now hold their way up beyond tho
Harlem River. Tho track would have to
DO much wider than the present Jerome
avenue in order to meet safely the re-
uuircments OF this immensely increased
and accelerated city traffic. One hundred
feet would hardly be enough. Certainly
ANYTHING less could scarcely be thought Of
for crush Of flyers. tho majority Of them
guided by fellows who rarely mind taking
little risk. both for themselves and for their
rivals. when the brush grows hot. Then
there would have to BIO still another road for
carriages. The scdate landau. with its quiet
minded occupants. could not be forced upon
the trotting road with flight Of helter-
SHELTER. dcvil-may-care record breakers.
Tho rush and excitement. not to say
danger. OF a speedway would DO too
much for them. and they would have to re-
tain the road provided there now. or. for
them, the Park would practically be halved.
Two roadways would thus lie needed for
vehicles alone. and as the trotting way
would have to be straight. or DO so much
the more dangerous. the carriageway would
have to be straight also. or take in largo
additional portion Of tho Park. in order
to preserve the present picturesquenesso OF
its curves and slopes. Tho whole western
side of tho Park would have to be revolu-
tionized completely. and would lose its ex-
listing character altogether.
The gentlemen behind this plan arc not
actuated by any mean motive. They are
full OF tho patriotism OF promoters Of a
great national product. the American trot-
ter Trotting is a national sport. But just
now. when tho cityis expanding so greatly
northward and preparing to develop in
good time the great areas OF the now parks.
how can they expect that so considerable
portion OF the Central Park. a small affair
rather. can be devoted to their especial
use? They will have to stick to old Fleet
wood and cross the Harlem.

When Col A. X. Mcclure. at recent meeting OF tho
Contemporary club in this city. shocked many OF his
hearers and startled most OF them by declaring in mn
address on newspapers that the public press less
reckless in its s;atensntR than the pulpit, he could
have hardly anticipated the prompt illustration and
example OF his assertion which has been furnished by
DR.. Parkhurst of New York.
Journalists bunder md make miss:atements. but It
very. very rarely happens that journalist who has
made n serious charge against public officer finds
himself with absolutely no evidence to sustain his
charges before Grand Jury. We cannot reco!ect
single such case and any newspaper which had been
betrayed into printing such II charge would make a
prompt reraction and apology. OF which. regret to
say. DR.. rarkhurst gives no sign.

the BEBRIN6 SEA DISPUTE.
Lord Salisbury Refuses 20 Consent to .
Renewal OF the Modus vivendi

WASHINGTON. March 4.-Lord Salisbury's nm
proval OF the Behring Sea treaty OF arbitration,
which was signed on Monday last. was coupled
with an apparently inconsistent action re.
specting tho modus vivendi arranged by tho
two countries last year. On Tuesday the
State Department was notified that the Brit
ish Government would not consent to re-.
newal OF the modus vivendi OF 1891 for this
year. an arrangement which tho United
States authorities confidently expected would
be speedily reached. and in time to be effective
against tho seal poachcrs this season. In
stead. however, Lord Salisbury announced his
willingness to establish closed zone of
thirty miles width. surrounding the
Prbylov Islands. Tho receipt OF this
communication doubtless fastened the
conclusion OF the sessions OF tho
Behring Sea agents-Messrs. Powell and
Dawson and Profs. Merriam and Mcndenhall-
WHICH ended last light in n practically COM
plcte failure to come to any agreement This
action Of the British Government is likely to
load to some serious results. Tho establish

methods open by which tho United States

diction over Behring Sea has. 1t Is

Justice to tho People of Brooklyn.

JuStlcc 10 Gnc feOple OF Brooklyn.
On Thursday the Assembly rendered
Justice to the people OF Brooklyn by re-
considering tho amendment to the Greater
Now York bill. which deprived them Of the
privilege OF voting on tho proposition for
tho consolidation Of the communities about
this harbor
Tho purpose Of this bill is simply to con-
tlnue in existence the Consolidation Com
mission and direct them to report n bill for
the submission OF tho project to q vote OF
the people OF tho communities concerned.
It Is an altogether just and thoroughly
democratic measure. 1t provides for tho
only fair way OF settling tho question. and
to oppose 1t is to exhibit fear OF tho people
aud to disregard their rights. Hence the
amendment cutting of tho voters Of Brook
lyn from an opportunity OF expressing their
opinion on the subject was unworthy OF the
cred on Thursday.
Let tho people Of tho communities them
selves say how they want to DO governed.
whether rs separate municipalities or as
one combined and consolidated city. That
is the sound Democratic principle Of home
rule. and it cannot DO violated In this case
without establishing an OWL precedent
which will come homo to vcS those who
make themselves responsible for such al
invasion OF tho popular rights.
Tho opposition OF Brooklyn members OF
the Assembly to the consolidation scheme
itself is entirely proper: but their oppo-
sition to this bill is indefensble: for 1t Is
not bill providing for consolidation. but
only for consulting tho will of the people as
to the scheme. Thus thoy arc opposing n
distinctly democratic measure. framed in
the interest of their constituents. and
granting them a privilege to which they
arc justly entitled.
II their arguments against consolidation
arc sound. they will prevail before tho peo-
pic. whether they DO inhabitants Of Brook
Ign or any other part OF the area which tho
scheme affects. II the plan is not for the
advantage of all. it Is for the advantage OF

ating circumstances which had not come to

also talked about. and the intimation seems to
be that somo Of the final documents were dated
back OF tho real time OF their execution. This
is all vague talk. but. in view OF the known
fact that the full record from the files OF the
War Department has recently arrived here. It
naturally makes an impression.
