PtpyD TRANSIT FORECASTS.

There are some signs Of a purpose to make
,ho Testimony before the Assembly Committee
Yesterday appear unfavorable to the prospects
of rapid transit. Commissioner lnlnan frankly
said that II the people were tired OF the Gu
terprlsc he for one was ready TO quiz. we
are not in Mr.. Inmans confidence, but we no
not find In this remark any reason for surprising
that he is discouraged at the situation or IN
doubt as to the future Of the work with wnich
no and his colleagues have been intrusted by
legislative action and a popular vote nor
oven If there were evidence Of hesitation on MS
mart would there be any excuse for assuming
that other Commissioners shared his distrnst
IN the contrary, Yesterdays testimony tended
to show that those who know most about the
undertaking have full faith In It, obviously the
nersistent efforts to discredt it have not ceased
probohlv they have been encouraged by recent
legal complications. and they are still character
ized by insincerty on the part OF some oppo-
pents Of the project. But there is no longer any
rational foundation for the argument that the
construction Of the proposed underground roads
involves insoluble engineering problems, anu
thot # they were ever completed ana put III
operation they would prove unsafe uhcom-
Portable and unpopular. Chief Engineer Iar-
sons declared yesterday that there were no diil'-
cultics in the way which could not be certainly
overcome, and knowledge Of the conditions
which 1t is proposed to establish refutes the as
sumption that underground transportation IL
necessarily disagrecable. The tunnels II lhey
are built will be light cheerful and wholesome.
That the financial basis OF the enterprise Is
unsound is a proposition which may De more
omen TO argument; but we do not understand
how anybody who takes note OF the existing
deficiency in the transportation facilities OF New
York and has an intelligent conception OF the
future of the city can doubt that a new, extern
s!ve and expansive rapid-translt system Is abso-
lutely essential TO the welfare OF this com
munity. The city is growing far more rapidly
than the means Of getting about 1t. ana II IS as
certain rs anything relating TO the future can be
that the elevated and surface lines can never
be sufficiently developed to satisfy the demands
which become more insistent every day. All
the evidences of experience ard all reasonable
authorizations mite to confirm the belief that the
city authorized not only necessary but hgh'
" profitable investment year ago.

CORONER HOEBER EXPLAINS.

His attention having been called TO our re-
port Of an interview with the Chief Consul OF
the League Of American Whcelmen, which has
taken a proper interest in the proceedings with
reference to a recent fatal bicycle accident
Coroner Hoeber visited this office yesterday to
defend his conduct of the inquest He explained
that everybody present was arrayed on one side
or the other, and therefore there was nothing
surprising in the circumstance that the inter-
prefer whom he happened to draft into his ser
vice was the president Of the brewing company
which employed the driver accused of homicide
The Coroners elucidation Of this and one or two
other minor details Of the inquest was not clear
to the extreme limit Of transparency. but there
Is one point on which he neither feels nor leaves
a doubt, as his statement printed elsewhere
proves The brewery wagon driver confessed TO
having absorbed one glass OF whiskey and four
glasses Of beer prior to the collision; but there
was a long interval between his first drink ana
his last, and unless there were some which he
didn't count he couldn't have been drunk when
the accident occurred This IS the Coroncr's
theory and we think it is sound. But sound or
unsound. it is not essential to the COroner'S main
proposition, for he says that he took pains TO
under the influence Of liquor. he wasn't so
much to blame If he had been SOBER
This is an extremely important. interesting
and comfortable legal dictum, as everybody Will
see at a glance, and especially convenient to The
drivers Of brewery wagons. In all cases coming
under his Jurisdiction the Coroner is prepared
to hold that the degree Of responsibility is ex-
acty proportional to the degree Of intOXicatlon;
for, of course, if a man who is half drunk Is only
half 10 blame man who Is entirely drunk is
entirely innocent. and the rule Is clearly appli-
cable 10 all conceivable stages Of incbricty. That
a new and vast field is thus opened for expert
testimony to expand in would be a truly mourn
full reflection, but we do not think it is ncces-
sary to contemplate that dismal prospect In
telligent and far-seeing drunkards will not incur
the risk Of partial intoxication, when both the
rapture and the security Of complete oblivion
are within their reach. Coroner IIoeber has
cnunciated great principle, and we shall not
be surprised if he IS able to get enough sig
natures TO run as an independent candidate for
any office he takes fancy to at every election
until the end Of his life.

WHO IS IN 4 HOLE"?

1t appears to some Democratic journals that
the President has put the Republicans into
hole" They borrow that idea from The Trb
une The Presidents declaration that he would
cooperate with Congress In any other sufficient
remedy besides that which he suggested makes
1t impossible for Republicans to evade the per-
Torrance Of their plain duty. if any of them so
desire Other Democratic journals assert that
this Republican leader or that wants TO avoid
any action on the tariff this year, calculating
to put the responsibility upon the President. or
else upon certain silver or Populist Senator'S
But II Is 10 longer possible 10 fix responsibility
upon the President unless they send him a bill
based on Republican principles, and give him
opportunity to approve it, veto it, or allow 1t
to become law without his signature
As to the Senate, IT is certain that the mem
hers OF the House. no matter what they may be
told have not and cannot have any definite
knowledge such as 10 relieve them from per-
sOnal responsibility. 1t Is positively known to
The Tribune that there are Senators, who are
counted as certain to oppose any reorganization
Of the Senate 10y Republicans or any political
measure Of that party who will nevertheless
vote for the restoration Of protective duties
sufficient TO yield the additional revenue which
the Government requires. The House, at all
events has not the slightest right or reason
to assume that these Senator's if the RESPONSE
bty Is definitely placed upon them. will re-
fuse TO join in giving the Government sufficient
revenue. and by means of duties which some of
them have formerly approved.
Hence 1t is that II any Republicans have been
placed in hole" by the President, it is solely
because they do not wan, at this time TO act
upon their own convictions Republicans. II
Is fair to suspect that their political adversarics
are manufacturing opinions and wishes for them
Perhaps there Is no name more frequently assoc
ciaied by Democratic journals with an alleged
desire TO shirk Republican principles than that

RTUET1LLIC PLANS.

Discussing the silver question at present Is
much like planting slowgrowing trees for dis
tant years 1t is extremely improbable, all will
agree that anything can be done by the present
Congress- owing to the peculiar division OF the
Senate. The next Congress will meet two years
hence. with other questions peculiarly urgent
and il may be doubted whether the beginning
Of any serious discussion about Il basis Of inter
national silver settlement can be reached before
the summer Of 1895. BY that time. with the
Rand mines pouring out gold at the rate Of
100000 ounces per month. and the new mines
in Colorado increasing their output fast that
current accounts seem fabulous, 1t is quite pos
siblc that the larger demand for silver as money
may have permanently altered in form. II not
wholly disappeared for time. Hence the
correspondence between ex-senator Higgins and
Mr. Moyeton Frewen in which plans for interna
tonal agreement are considered. can only serve
to prepare intelligent minds for solutions which
may become possible in the future.
Much Of the discussion in these letters can be
passed without comment, as 1t goes over ground
not unfamiliar, and Is largely based on cond-
ions which do not at the moment exist. or exist
only in part. 1t Is impossible now to Judge how
great an Influence upon the question Of ex
changes between the Eastern and the Western
world may be cxertcd by the adjustment Of re-
lations between japan. China Russia and Eu
ropcan Powers. When any action becomes pos
sbe 1t may appear that this same issue Of in
tcrnational exchanges has taken new char
acter. Yet III, correspondence is instructive
particularly in its efforts to define modes Of
cooperation upon which the nations Of the West.
ern World might unite. looking to larger use Of
