What England Has Done.

England has just accomplished a feat
that she uld set the economists of Congress
to thinking very seriously. In five days,
under the inspiration of war scare TWEEN
ty-one ships of the naval reserve have been
modified, ready for service. How many
days would 1t require for this country to
prepare one-third of this number of ships
in the event that warlike preparations
were necessary? The American naval re-
serve today consists practically of but four
auxiliary" cruisers, now on transatlantic
merchant service. They are splendid ships,
staunch and fleet, but it would take months
To place them in commission. There Is not
a gun built for them today, not a pound of
mechanism necessary to transform the
merchantmen into commerce destroyers.
The gun shop in this city is almost idle.
Appropriations have about run out, and the
plea Is made that there Is no more work to
do. The English achievement demonstrates
how much work there Is that should lie
done without any delay.

The history of the Franco-Prussian war
shows upon what slight matters the fate
of nations in these days depends. Given
a generally strained relationship between
the larger powers, the most insignificant
event may become the cause of war and
may upset elaborate plans for peace that
have been formed with great palms. In
1870 the candidature of member of the
Hohenzollern family for the Spanish crown
was the obStensible cause of irritation be-
tween Germany and France, but the wis
dom of the King of Prussia virtually in
terposed to prevent an outbreak of hos
tillties, when by some accident, not yet
satisfactorily unders TODD, the war party
at Paris in few hours changed the French
emperor's policy of peace to a hostile atti-
tude that was Immediately followed by a
terrible, devastating war that cost France
two of her richest frontier provinces. Just
at present Europe is in state of agitation
over the possibility OF a repetition of the
war of 1870 on a more elaborate and dis
estrous scale. So conflicting are the re-
ports of the present hour in regard to the
prospects for peace or war that prophecy
is dangerous pastime. 1t Is evident that
a great game of politics is being played out
around the European card table. The
hands are held by France. Germany, Rus
STA and England. and the stake is a great
one. On the next play may depend he

Close the sizes.

A necessary preliminary to any increase
in the amount of the liquor license fee, and
indeed, ali Indispensable condition of the
full success of the present license law is
the more complete enforcement of the law
against the unlicensed sale of liquor. Men
will not pay s., 900 per year, or even $500 per
year, as al present provided, to sell liquor,
If they are not prevented from selling in
case of failure to make this payment, or If
after paying the license they are not pro-
tected from competition in their business
by the speak-easies. Neither does the COM
munity profit either in revenue or in morals
by eliminating the saloons which can afford
to pay only low license, If the substitutes
for them are the Illegal groggeries, which
pay nothing, and which are the more de-
moraiizing in their effect because they are
secret and law-defying. the logical result
however, of these consideration is not to
discourage high license, but to encourage
vigorous prosecution of the unlicensed

disastrous to American interests to allow
England to assume charge Of the Cuban
custom houses under Spanish control in or
der to give Great Britain security for a
loan to Spain to furnish the munitions of
war. This. in effect covers the counter
propositions that 1t seems are now being
considered. 1t Is quite apparent that the
political wires are being pulled both for ana
against official recognition by this country
OF the Cuban insurgents. and late rumor
gives it that among the surprises soon to
be sprung In Congress Is resolution from
the Senate committee on foreign relations
directing the President to grant belligerent
rights to the insurgents. and perhaps even
going 50 far as to authorize him to receive
an official deputation from the Cuban re-
public. The International relations Of the
great powers of the world are now so de-
c;dedly complicated that it is impossible to
anticipate with confidence the political
events Of the near future, and Cuban recog-
milton is by no means to be regarded as an
improba bility.

No Seat. NO Fare.

1t nay be news to some people that the
extra cost of propeliiHg street car
crowded with p2sser gers as compared with
one thinly patronized is by no means pro-
portionate to the increase in revenue. In
other words, it Is a profitable business to
pack the cars to their utmost, and the
added income is barely touched by the
additional expense entailed. This IS demon
strated by the experience of a Boston street
railway company, which in one year in
creased its total business by 100000 passen-
gers. at five cents each, while the increased
cost of transportation was less than one
cent per passenger. Briefly, then, 1t pays
the company to reduce the number of cars
in ratio to the increase of traffic, for the
profits added to the net income after the
road has got on paying basis are sufti-
GENTLY alluriHg to give a temptation to
Increase them at the expense of the COM
fort of the patrons. Last September Mr.
c. L. Bonney, vice president of the Chicago
Gere Railway, submitted to the Mayor
OF Chic ago a report Of observations made
b. him In Europe as to tramway facilities,
the main result of which was to demon
strate that in London, Berlin, Paris. St.
Petersburg. Moscow, Christiana, Stockholm,
Brussels and Vienna. all of the great cap

understood that 1t does not produce any
disorder or complaint. In fact, the over

would not be tolerated at ALL" Coming
from an American street railway official,
this Is high testimony, and in view of re-
Gently discovered statistics. such as those
relating to Boston already given, it is be-
ginning to dawn on the people of this coun-

conditions here differ so materially from
those in the foreign capitals that the
scheme that succeeds 50 we'll there would
fail here 1t might take a little time to
accomplish the perfection of administration
of the law that appears, from Mr.. Bon
ney's report, to prevail abroad. but there

months the rule of mo seat no fare" if
backed by legislation, would be complete
