Mr.. AIurphy's Education.

To THE EDITOR or Tue SuS-Sir! Tie structures rs 10
the qualifications OF Mr. Murphy appear to have been

were not heretofore generally kno WI. and which. as each
day advances. greatly strengthen the sentiment in his
behalf. il is now conceded tina. NJ. Murphy Ia not .
man OF mere ordinary education. bu, Is a college grGdu.

Nor can 1t be said that he made no use Of these early
advantages, On the contrary. US far back as 1874 he
became 50 advanced in his knowledge OF Stale anairs

people OF Quebec. speaking through their
State Constitution and State Legislature.
The author Of the questions to which we
nave here replied expresses the opinion
that the ecclesiastical taxes now collectible
by law would be voluntarily abolished by
tho people OF Quebec before they entered
the Union. Such u course would doubtless
be expedient as tending to bring the In
habitants OF Lower Canada In closer SYM
patty with the great Catholic communities
on this side OF the border. which have
found that the substitution OF the principle
Of voluntary support has promoted the
prosperity OF their Church. But. we repeat.
the abolition OF the ecclesiastical taxes now
leviable in Quebec under the Provincial
Constitution is a matter which our Fed
eral Government could not touch.

Rapid Transit.

The noise over the failure OF the under
ground scheme is produced by the varied
reiteration OF this proposition: The peo-
pie OF New York. having proved the value
of rapid transit by elevated roads. enjoying
the sun and air Of open day. are informed
that in the future they are to ride more or
less choked. in darkness underground.
Having lived comfortably in the parlor
rent free they are invited to invest one hun
dred millions OF dollars In the privilege OF
living in the cellar.
Was there ever invented q more prepos-
ferrous notion?
Tho Harlem citizen. for example. who Is
employed near the City Hall spends an hour
a day in the cars. On the elevated road he
reads his newspaper comfortably. enter.
tains himself watching the streets. or sits
and communes with himself or his friends
with the normal surroundings OF every day
existence. He cannot fairly count a moment
OF his time as lost. Down under the
ground his two daily journeys would be q
bore. or worse.
Yet some prejudices conceived in igno'
rance. thoughtlessness. or malignity are now
striving to block the city OF New York from
obtaining the transit facilities which it asks
for in imperative need. New York wants
rapid transit. Let it have 1t.

II President HARRISON will take the
trouble to inform himself who among those
who offer their advice on the proposition to
shut the subsidized Canadian railways ont
OF cur carrying trade are stockholders OF
the American connections OF these rail-
ways. or are otherwise controlled in their
interests. he will be better, able to weigh
the arguments advanced by them.
The simple facts are that both the Cana
dian railways ard their American niles are
systematically engagal in violating the
Interstate Commerce act and the customs
laws. to the great injury Of onr WI trans
porting lines. as well AS OF the public
treasury.
II treaties stand in the way OF putting an
end 10 these abuses. let them be altered.
II the regulations Of tho Treasury Depart
ment protect them. they should be changed
Mt once. no matter who owns 800 stock.
This Is common sense and business rom
bined. and the outgoing Administration
can do no act which will reflect more credit
upon 1t at home or which will do more to
encourage the Canadian people In their
effort to get out from under the control of
corrupt rings and Tory domination.

view the relative rights and powers Of the
State Government and the Federal Gov
eminent in reference to corporations an
gagged in between the several
States. As to many kinds OF corpo-
rations organized under the laws OF
other States but doing business here. there
can be no doubt OF the power OF this Stnte
TO regulate their manner Of doing business
within our territorial limits and to impose
conditions which they must observe In re-
turn for the privilege. Thus we may regu-
late tho extent TO which aud the manner In
which II Massachusetts, insurance company
or n New Jersey sugar refining company
or n Pennsylvania brewing company may
do business in New York.
But 1t is very different In the case OF any
corporation whose sole business in this State
is that OF a common carrier engaged in In
ter-State commerce. The power to regulate
Interstate commerce rests solely In Con-
gress. and any attempt to exercise such
power on the part OF the State would be In
conflict with the Federal Constitution.
The Legislature should bear this fact In
mind in dealing with the anthracite coal
combination.

Next week the Board OF Education will
proceed to the election Of u President to
succeed President HUNT. The only candi-
dates mentioned for the place are Commits
sioners ADoLPH L.. SANGER and RoBERr
MAcLAY. both OF whom are gentlemen OF
high standing and high ability.
The nor expenditure for the main
tenance OF the free school system ought OF
itself to make this department OF the
municipal Government prominent In the
interest OF the citizens: but the money
cost Of the schools Is really n very second
airy consideration. The main question Is
as to the way in which the school fund Is
expended. for upon that depends the sort
of education the great mass,of the children
Of the city will get.
The general methods and the precise de-
tails Of the management OF tho school fund
by the Board OF Education. however. are
little understood. even by the most intelli-
gent OF the citizens. With the exception Of
the Jews more particularly. very few OF the
parents OF the pupils in the schools give a
thought to 1t. They only know that their
boys and girls get free instruction in many
branches. but whether 1t Is OF the kind best
adapted to the needs Of the youngsterst they
are enurely Ignorant.
The general policy Of the Board Of Edu-
cation has continued unchanged for many
years. It Is to establish q graded system.
starting with the primary school. going up
to the grammar school. and reaching its
summit in the colleges for boys and
girls respectively. That is, tho high
est governs all the lower grades. This
seems to be very pretty. and 80 1t Is
on paper. But in practice 1t does not work
so we'll. The great mass Of the pupils never
go beyond the primary department. or. at
most. the very first grade Of the grammar
school. which is primary also. They must
get to work to earn their living by the time
they are twelve or thirteen years OF age.
When the highest class Of the college for
DOVE is reached only fifty or sixty remain.
We are glad to see. therefore. that In the
coming election the question OF changes In
this old and withered system will be in
volved. The friends Of both Mr.. SANGER
and Mr.. MAcLAY assert that they are each
in favor OF improving the primary depart
ments Of the schools SO that their in
struction shall DO complete In itself
without reference to any higher grades.
Simple and elementary instruction Is the
foundation OF the school system. and most
Of the education that now goes beyond is
mere surplusage. In violation Of the princi-
pie on which alone schools supported by
general taxation are justified.
The President of the Board Of Education
| elected next week will be tested by his atti-
| tude toward this necessary reform.

state Control Over Coal Carriers.

WV
There Is an interesting passage in Gov
ernor FLOWERS message relating TO the coal
combination.
The Governor calls the attention OF the
Legislature to the formation within the last
year OF powerful combination between
certain railroads and coal companies with
the apparent purpose OF exacting higher
prices from the consumer of anthracite
coal" Practically. he says. all the anthra-
cite coal in the world is contained in three
counties in Pennsylvania. and 81 per cent.
Of the coal traffic from these counties is
controlled by this combination. thus putting
consumers at It's mercy and enabling 1t TO
exact any price 1t pleases.
In this condition OF affairs Governor
FLOwEI. asks whether the people OF New
York have any legislative remedy against
the coal monopoly. and suggests that II the
companies engaged In the combination en-
Joy public privileges granted by the State
Of New York. the State should impose such
conditions upon the enjoyment Of those
privileges as will protect our people against
unwarrautable exactions.
The Governor Is quite right In saying that
this is a matter requiring the serious con
sideration OF the Legislature. We may add
thatit is a matter In which the Legislature
may easily 80 wrong. unless 1t keeps in
