The Harlem.

No change could be effected in tho city Of
New York comparable in public value with
the practical removal OF the Harlem River
between the Third avenue and the Eighth.
Tho shape OF New York Is peculiar. and
tho difficulties and necessities arising
from it are cloar and imperative. The
Harlem River forms an obstacle to tho
city's future growth. Nothing can be bal
anced against the freedom and ease OF traf-
tic connecting the city already established
with the unlimited addition nationally des-
tined north OF the Harlem. where appears
the first opportunity to expand in breadth as
well as in length. Any superior convenience
for transporting material which tho river
affords over the land, is absolutely Insignia
cant In comparison with tho great and
perpetual annoyance and trouble imposed
upon all traffic Of having to rise to the
grade OF the bridges, even il the latter were
permanent With tho bridges left liable to
be opened. the condition OF affairs would be
intolerable in great city. The cost Of the
proposed change need not be set against
the price OF the new bridge required in the
event OF the waterway being left as it is.
The advantage Of the project is beyond
the consideration OF reasonable cost.
AS to the value OF the river Thames to
London. upon which the opposition to this
Improvement is largely based. New York
lies between two rlvorS. each providing
facilities for commerce with which the
Thames cannot compete fora moment. No
city on the globe has the commercial en-
dowmcnts OF New York provided by the
Hudson and tho East River running to
Long Island Sound. Tho Thames also Is
river reaching far inland. while the Harlem.
picturesque as it is in some places. is in
fact but a tidal ditch dividing the island OF
Manhattan from the counties lying north.
II it were left rs it is from the Hudson to
McComb's Dam. whcro the bluffs on
either sido arc very high. it still
might not interfere seriously with the
growth Of New York. But with it I'M
changed between the Eighth avenue ard tho
Third. New York is rs certain eventually to
be divided into two ill-conncctcd sections.
the bulk and centre OF the town perhaps to
be transferred northwarl. and the south
crn section TO sink into secondary i'm
porLncc and value. rs tho tides AFRO to
keep on flowing around it. This question
is ut present extremely serious, as it Is in
Il condition to br influenced by the Judgment
OF the community. Tn" opportunity for do
tcrmlnng this very great and almost I'M
mrnsurahly vauabl" improvement should
not DO permitted to pass. Tho Harlem
River should be filled up.

Tho Last Effort OF Detected Infamy.

What would have been done to Union
soldier had he undertaken. the morning
after Mr.. LINCOLN was assassnated, to
shout through the camp. Three cheers
for WILKES BooTH!"?
No doubt there were a good many vicious
and refractory soldiers in tho Union army
during the war. and they had to be dealt
with severely and stcrnly when it was
necessary to coercc them in the interest OF
discipline. At that time. however. the fool
newspapers were not managing the affairs
OF this country. and it was possible to
maintain military usage without being i'm
paed by humanitarinns for revenue only.
Defeated and COMPOUNDED in its conduct o.
tho strike at Homestead. and panic
stricken at the pognancy of its punishment
at the hands Of the people who have dropped
it forever. tho World has now made new
and not less infamous departure. 1t took
up yesterday tho ca.3c OF Private JAMS and
endcavored to so present it as to create a
mutiny In the Pennsylvania National
Guard! Tho World hopes by this expcdient
to divert attention from the signal defeat
Of the Homestead strikers and Anarchists.
and to distract from itself the scrutiny Of
viz P'ibiiN iipN UNulc VI It's Ill
famous aud dangerous character.
Fist the World used its most strenuous
efforts to prevent Governor PATrIsoN from
sending tho troops to Homestead. Then
from the moment they arrived there the
World sought to secure to the soldicry tho
contempt and cnnity OF the workmcn and
the general public; and by every subtlcty
at its command it endeavored to SOW sedif
ton and disallcction among the members
OF the regiments. Finally. it Yesterday ex-
tolIcd into martyr ard u hero n vicious
and refractory subject Of military disci-
pline, and held Col. STEEAToR and Gen.
SSOwDEN up to cXecration and contumely
for having punished him.
Thus tho WOrR again commends itself to
the esteem and confidence of this commu-
nifty, and especially OF those members Of it
from whom it derives its support. We shall
see II the Worlds anarchy It's defiance Of
law. order. and deccucy. and its utter
viciousness and dcpravity shall fail ola just
recognition from all thoughtful and self
respecting citizens. without exception.

THE SUN. THURSDAY. JULY rs, 1892.

and We may expect to SEQ them remedcd
In two ways. It Is understood that Mr..
MCCARTHY and his colleagues have agreed
that the apprchensions Of tho Ulster
Professionals shall be quctcd by the inser-
tion In tho new bill OF fundamental guaran-
tees OF civil and religious liberty which It
would be beyond tho power OF Dublin
legislature to disturb. As regards tho ga
credncss OF contracts and the security OF
property, we have no doubt that tho Ma
tionalists would DO willing to sec these
principles also buttressedby constitutional
safeguards. except as regards the relation
of landlord to tenant. 1t would be scarcely
reasonable for the imperial Parliament
which since 1881 has repeatedly interfercd
with contracts between the owners and oc-
cupiers OF land. to deny to Dublin legis-
lature the same power OF interpretation.
Tho Duke OF ARGYLL. indeed. has been con-
sistent in this matter. for he was deter
mined opponent OF the GLADSTONE
Land act OF 1881. But he stands
almost alone In his unwaverlng defence
OF tho sanctity OF contracts between
landlord and tenant. for the Conservative
as we'll as the Liberal parties have by re-
cent legislation refused to recognize any,
thing sacred In agreements rs to rent. In
deed tho Allotments bill. as originally in
troduced by the representative Of the Tory
Government in the House OF Commons.
made 1t compulsory upon English landlords
to give up parcels Of their land for distribu-
ton among farm laborers. It Is true that
the bill was amended In this particular In
the House OF Lords. but that was not Mr..
BALFouR's fault. We repeat that there Is
scarcely any British statesman. whether
Tory or Liberal. except the Duke OF ARGYLL
himself. who is not estopped by his own
acts from objecting to the bcstowal on q
Dublin legislature Of the power to regulate
the relations OF landlord and tenant.
1t is not only. however. by tho insertion
in the new bill OF express guarantees OF
civil and religious liberty. and Of the
sacredncss OF all contracts except those re-
lating to land, that the misgivings OF the
Ulster Professionals will DO allayed. Tho re-
tention OF Irish representatives Mt West
minister is Of itself solid guarantee that
any defects that may show themselves in a
home rule act will be from time to time
corrected. The experience Of the last seven
years has shown that. so long as the Irish
members hold together. they have nothing
to fear from the assertion OF tho principle
that the Dublin legislature would be stat
utory. or. in other words. subject to amend
ment at the hands OF the imperial assem-
bly, which created it..

purpose Is not TO concentrate the whole
body Of Russian Jews in any ono country.
but to divide them among several widely
separated countries OF the world. directing
them especially to those countries In which
they will be Hospitality received. and In
which they have tho best assurance that
they will possess those rights and secure
that success which they are especially de-
sirous Of.

The Duke OF Argyll on Homo Rule.

We have not forgotten that the Duke Of
ARGYLL was IL friend Of tho Union during
our civil war. and we cheeriuly acknowl-
edge that anything he has to say to Ameri-
cans deserves respectful considerations
We do not think. however. that his article
in the August number Of the North Ameri-
can Reriep will have the effect of checking
the sympathy almost universally felt in
this country for Ireland's wish to exercise n
species Of self-government analogous to
that which our own States enjoy.
II the Dukes objections to home rule be
carefully examined. they will be found to
have in view not 80 much the principle it.
self, as tho specific application proposed by
Mr. GLADSTONE in 1886. Tho bill intro
luccd in that year had undoubtedly some
defects. which have been recognized by
the Liberal leader. and which will not bo
reproduced in the forthcoming measure.
Had that bill become a law it would. as the
Duke says. have been illusory to describe
tho Parliament created by 1t as "statu-
tory in the sense of being subject TO
amendment by the same power which called
1t into being. The powers once conferred
upon the Dublin Parliament could not
have been aftcrward materially cut
Grwn by tho Parliament ut Westnlin-
st"r. except Mt the risk Of provoking n
civil war, Why? Because Irishmen would

The present purpose of the British Liberals
Is to secure to the Irish q permanent
representation In the imperial assem-
bly,. while Mt tho same time bcstowiny on
them an organic scheme Of sclf-govcrnlnont

assembly. because in 1t tho views OF Irish
men would be expressed by voice and vote.
Nor would 1t be deemed n fatal objection to
the exercise OF such revisory authority that
lrishmen would always constitute n mi.
norlty In tho Parliament Mt Westminster,
because this minority would almost al ways
hold the balance Of power between the two
larger political parties. and thus exercise
