NOT IN CENTRAL PARK.

part Of Central Park into parade sro'lh'' 1or
1t Is absolutely certain not to be adopted Inc
proposal has instantly encountered storm OF
opposition against which II could never pre-
vail. even IL the Park Board We're favorable
instead Of resolutely hostile Neither Is IL JUST
nor necessary TO assal General Coils. as IL he
were an avowed public enemy To whom ine ne
trayal Of public trust was congenal employ
ment. He Is not responsible for the admnislra-
ton Of the parks nor In position to do them
any injury. He has merely made the mistake
of suggesting, with the best intentions III the
world the latest in long series Of schemes Tor
divcrting the parks from their proper functions
to purposes for which they were not created ana
which they could not be made to serve except
at an enormous sacrifice. In his own depart
ment General Coils has accomplished great
deal of excellent work, which will be his ken
orable monument hereafter. He has desired 10
do something more on larger scale outside the
routine Of his official labors. That is natural
and creditable ambition. but the particular en-
terprjse by which he had hoped TO achieve 1t is
wholly indefensible.
II the city has need OF great parade grouhu'
which is a debatable proposition, there are
numerous waste places at is command when
will be accessible enough in the course or n rev
wears Or II we are mistaken about that, per-
haps the city can afford 70 buy two or three
blocks In a central locality. tear down the build
ings which cover them and convert the space
so cleared 1nto concourse That is also de-
batable proposition The one proposition which
Is not debatabe is that the city should devas'ate
q park which is constantly performing an IN
valuable service for the sake Of accomplishing
an object of infinitely less Importance. but the
Park space would cost nothing" may be said.
In fact precisely that has been said within forty
eight hours in support of General Coiilss proy
ect: and the argument is perfect example OIL
that amazing fallacy which heretofore times
without number has been advanced IN Justlfica-
ton Of some scheme for doing the community
irreparable Larm The owner Of Government
bonds who should propose to start fire WITH
them in order to save the price of bundle or
klpdling wood would be actuated by just the
same sort Of economic deusion. In his case the
ecljpse of reason would he deemed complete. but
the misconception Of values would be scarcely
greater.
parade ground, as level as billiard table,
hoored with asphalt and diversified with stat
ues. might be a good thing to have somewhere.
To make such thing out of Central Park would
he an act Of folly which General Coils on fur-
Their reflection will probably cease TO counte-
nance.

JAPAN'S PACIFIC CABLE.

The project of telegraphic cable across the
Pacific from the United States to Japan 10y way
of Hawaii is not new, but the form which 1t now
assumes is decidedly novel. Hitherto the United
States has been looked to for the initiative
This is by far the largest and richest OF all
the countries directly concerned. and will trans
act n major part of the business Of the line 1t
has therefore, been deemed fitting that ii should
Law and control the cable. There is no good rea-
son why it should not do so, or why ii should
not have done so long ago. Capital has been
ready. Enterprise has not been lacking. Me-
chanical skill assuredly has been equal TO the
undertaking. Nothing, in fact. has been lacking
except Government patronage. scarcely more
than nominal in amount. and far less than that
which other governments are in the habit Of Civ
ing TO similar enterprises.
The prescn, proposition is for Japan 10 take
the lead, with the United states as a junior
PARTNER Hawaii will also come ill., though
whether the firm Will stand Japan. United
States and Hawaii" or Japan, Hawaii and
United States" does not yet appear. Japan has
faith in the scheme and is ready to back up her
faith with money and deeds. If the United
States does not think IL worth while or is not
able 10 lay n cable to Japan. Japan does think
II worth while and is able to lay cable to the
United States. 1t is poetic justice. Years ago
the United States opened Japan TO the world
Now Japan proposes 10 open the United States.
For that let Americans be grateful Ii will be
better to have Japan lay the cable than To have
no cable at all Besides. Japan will let this
country have a share in the ownership and con-
troll Of IT, II we are able and cntcrprising enough
TO take II.
There can be no doubt that such an enter
prise Is highly desirable and would prove highly
profitable Great Britain and Ter colonies are
50 well convinced Of it that they are ready 10 do
the whole job at public expense. Transpaciilc

tlnue so to do. and the two nations most inter

This Is a clean-cut solution Of the whole prob

unobjectionabe. Such a railroad, owned AMI

occupation to all the citizens of Kansas but
would so divert their minds from agricultural
pursuits that they would presently never care
copper whether they raised any agricultural
products or not. All the citizens would be in
the railroad business and drawing pay from the
State. And the diversion Of the school fund OF
Texas to this purpose would not only do no harm.
