GENERAL SLOCUM And TIE TRIBUNE.

General Henry w. Slocum, a. president OF
one of the Brooklyn strcct-car companies has
for several years been proving himself tho most
energetic and efficient Of any OF the advocates
and promoters Of the trolley system of street
car propulsion. During the same time The
TRIBUNE has been, and still is, the earnest
opponent of tho trolley in the streets OF both
Now-Yorl and Brooklyn, and believes that 1t
has been serving public interests in endeavor-
ing to prevent it's Introduction upon the crowded
streets of either of these great cities.
There have been times during the course OF
the controversy when feeling ran high and
strong language has been used. In the spring
OF 1891. when the struggle was at its height
in Brooklyn THE TRIBUNE, under tho head
ing, General Slocums Dubious Methods
published an editorial severely criticising the
latter as most unpstroiic citizen Tor the man
ncr in which, as Twas stated, he had sought
TO impose a worthless system OF electrical pro-
pulsion upon his own city, and also for the
methods said 10 have been adopted by him TO
mislead property owners, city officials and the
Railroad Commissioners.
THE TRIBUNE now believed that so far ~
this article imputed any kind of dishonorabIe
or dishonest conduct TO General Slocum, il was
without foundation in fact. 1t has frequently
expressed IFS admiration for his high and brill
liant qualities ~ soldier and a citizen and il
deeply regrets that it should have been mSlcd
by the zeal Of public controversy into such an
attack upon ono who deserves - much Of the
regard and gratitude of the people for his past
services and present high character.

RAPID TRANSIT POSSIBILITIES.

The prospect of getting an original and cx-
pensive system Of rapid transit in this city
through the inSrumentality of the Commission
appointed to devise plan has not been dazzling
at any time With the failure of the public
sale last week the prospect became extremely
dim In fact, an extensive development OF the
elevated railroads is the only alienation now
left,in sight. This is not cheering fact we
suppose, in the estimation OF many citizens (;
but. as we said the other day the sensible thing
to do is to take the situation as it is not as
we wish it were and to accept whatever relief
from present disccmforts is obtainable, pro-
yided it does not come too high. The elevated
roads arc here to stay indefinitely, and the
community will gain nothing from refusing
TO let them serve il to the best of their ability.
The fact that things are turning out unex-
p2ctedly well for the Manhattan Company must
necessarily rrtate all whom the policy Of that
corporation has offended and the number of
such persons is very large They hoped that
tho Rapid Transit Commission would be the
means of establishing new and Independent
and adequate system Of transportation. Their
disappointment over its failure is kcen and
would be greatly aggravated if they were
forced to conclude that the Commissioners or
some of them, had been adroitly manipulated
by shrewder men than themselves, with the
intention and effect OF bringing about the
present condition Of affairs. We have spoken
several times in commentator OF the apparent
diligence and devotion with which the Com
mission was pursuing its labors, though feeling
all the while considerable anxiety as to the
result IL is not necessary to withdraw the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1893-01-04

The suggestion is already heard that the
true solution of the rapid transit problem is
that the city should construct the underground
roads laid out by the Commission and then
lease them to responsible company. That
such a suggestion will be received with de-
light in Tammany circles is to be expected
The community at large will view it in differ
ent light. The construction of such system
by the city would mean its construction by
Tammany Hall and that would be the largest
and juciest plum that the Organization has
ever had the pluckng of. The city needs
additional means of transit sorely but not so
badly as to make such solution OF the rapid
transit problem anything but offensive ana
outrageous in the eyes of honest and reputable
citizenS

The official statement made by the Cnnard
Company adds nothing of Importance to what
was already known regarding the Gallia-
Umbiia incident. 1t says that the Umbria was
in no danger that the Gallia had only coal
enough for its regular voyage, and that no
necessity existed for extending aid to the dis
abed vessel. There now appears to be no
doubt that the two captains understood each
other clearly enough, and, at all events, the
outcome proves that Captain Mckay took no
great risk in bringing his own vessel into port
unaided.
In accordance with the prearanged pro-
piamme Mr.. Sulzer was elected Speaker of the
Assembly yesterday and proceeded to make
speech breathing a spirit OF devotion to the

any nonsense about it this year. The gauge
of it may be taken much better from its action
when the Governors message was presented
than from Suffers high flown address. The
chamber was so nearly deserted moment
after the reading OF the message began that
the document was merely summarized by the
clerk, the entire discourte0us performance TAX

To intelligently locate roads for o
county, for instance, there should be a
map on large scale showing water
courses, railway stations, towns and their
population and the population per square
mile for different sections. Having de-
termined the general direction and ex-
tent of the road, the problems of grade,
drainage, udaptability of the soil for
road purposes and minor considerations
may present themselves before definite
location may be determined. The amount
of grade in a country road should prop
erly depend upon the character of the
country and traffic. Grades should never
be level and never very steep. 1t is better
to go around steep hill than over it.
Steep short cuts may be convenient for
neighborhood roads, but never for main
thoroughfares. Clayey surface may be
helped by the addition of sand and sandy
surface by the addition Of clay With
regard to drainage, ample and well
graded side bitches with abundant out
let's for storm water should be supplied.
The effort should be to construct mar
row good road-not widecommon road.
The layout should be wide, but the
graded portion narrow. Ground surfao.
