could be satisfactorily adjusted. The gratinca-
ton which Mr.. Delafeld and others speaking
for the Commission express in view OF yester-
DAYS decision encourages the belief that they
are still sangune.
The present financial situation, resulting from
apprehensions Of n war with Spain. may not
be favorable TO a large undertaking OF this SORT
though It's merits would not be affected even
by the realization Of such fears But the pros
pect OF rapid transit on the only practicaDie
plan OF large scope has certainly been much
improved by the Courts final conclusion. There
was a prevalent feeling that the project was
dead, and we do not attempt to disguise the
fact that hostile municipal administration may
yet succeed In killing It; but while there IS LIE
there is hope. and in this case the erect on
public opinion of daily demonstration Of
constantly increasing need Is factor which
even Tammany dictator may not be able TO
ignore.

A HELPFEL DECISION.

The Appellate Division rendered n decision
yesterday upon the application of the Rapid
Transit Commission in the matter of the much
discussed bond which in form is a defeat for
the Commission but in substance apparently a
victory. and which is thus in curious contrast
with the former opinion Of the Court. That
was specifically an approval OF the favorable
report submitted by the Courts Commission
ers, and consequently gave great satisfaction
for a few minutes. But n slight examination
showed that the bonding stipulation, the ac
ceptance Of which was required 10 give it vital
ity, would be a fatal obstacle 10 rapid transit
80 long as II remained unmodihed or uneX-
planned. The newspapers, the Commission. the
general public and the men who had been ne
gotatng for the franchise quickly took this
view Of II. and the affair came TO an absolute
standstill. II was In the hope Of securing a
modification or favorable Interpretation OF the
order that the Commission made the applca-
ton which has been formally rejected.
But, singulary and fortunately the Courts
argument, after successfully setting aside the
contentious Of the Commission, ends by con
ceding much the greater part Of what the Com
mission had hoped for. II is not an acknowl-
edged concession, nor does the Court even i'm
ply that II has been misunderstood; but that Is
Of no practical consequence. The essential fact
Is that It now holds that "S14,OO0.O0O Of the
bond should be conditioned upon construction
"and equipment, and that S1,0O0,OOO should he
"a continuing security" Thus. as 1t seems, the
insuperable obstacle Of continuing bond so
large as 10 forbid the suppOsition that any
combination Of interests would furnish 1t has
been removed, and only the minor and far from
hopeless difficulty Of obtaining security TO the
amount Of S14,O0o.0O0 for construction and
equipment remains.
The Court at the outset asserts Its possession
Of complete authority TO prescribe the amount
and character Of the bond. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Rapid Transit act expressly con-
hdes that matter 10 the Commission. The prece
dent cited is not conclusive but Of course we
do not venture to urge that the Court has
stretched It's jurisdiction. 1t is however prop.
er TO say that final decision on this point
might be extremely valuable hereafter. With
reference to this particular case It is probably
not important TO inquire further whether the
Court has power 10 overrule the Commission
as 20 matters of which the act itself gives the
Commission. or appears 70 give H. exclusive
control. Nor we judge. will the Commission
be disposed seriously 20 lament the fact that
the Court does not accept its estimate Of what
would constitute adequate security during the
period OF construction For various members
Of the Commission have repeatedly given their
opinion that short-ved bond Of sl5,000,O00
could be furnished by capitalists whom the
franchise attracted. and have created the i'm
preston that they expected 10 carry out their
AnNns In case the matter Of the continuing bond

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

With a feeling OF sadness somewhat akin
to pain. though resembling sorrow only as
the mist resembles the Hon John l.. Sui
llvan's tears we observe a disposition IN
some quarters TO critlcse the conduct OF
the newspaper publishers who have been
sitting up nights for the last three weeks
maintaining the National honor and vigorously
prosecuting the war II has been intmated in
a weekly journal that the publisher Of one of
these newspapers has been actuated by mer-
cenary considerations that he has offered TO
bet $4,000 that his paper would cause war;
and-though 1t Is not pretended that the bet
has actually been made-that he has been ex-
citing the warllke passions OF the people Just
TO bring on the war and make a sure thing Of
il. No names were mentioned, but one Of the
newspapers conspicuous in directing the course
OF the Government and experimenting the con-
duct Of the war has let go the rudder Of the
Ship of State long enough 20 remark casually
that II that paper is referred TO the editor Of
the weekly journal is n liar and a coward. and
II he will only be little more specific in his
inslnuations he will get his Jacket warmed with
a 100000 libel suit The language seems lurid.
but in times like these, when war Is fragrant
and bood-red extras are pouring from the press
at the rate Of a million minute and the theft"
Of the whole blessed crisis is on the shoulders
of two three newspapers, much must be
pardoned to the spirit Of patriotism.
For ourselves. we do not credit the report
that any newspaper publisher has bet or offered
TO bet $4,000 that his paper would bring on a
war. In the first place, to newspaper pub
Usher who is spending millions Of dollars every
day keeping the mind and heart OF the country
up 10 concert pitch the matter OF $4,000 TO be
won on a wager would be a mere trife, unwor-
thy moments thought and. second IL money
were an object and 1t were thought worth
while. much easier way to make $4,000
would be simply 10 step down into "the Street"
go short Of stocks. and then "whoop ND" the
war till all was blue. At the same time we
should not advise the aggrieyed publisher TO
begin 100000 libel suit in defence of his
personal honor. Any man who has the National
honor in his keeping and IL maintaining II nj
present prices In the face Of the universe can
well afford 10 let his personal honor take care
Of itself The National honor is about all that
one man can be expected TO look out for in
times Ike these. This Is no time for libel suits

LOUISIANA SUFFRAGE.

The Suffrage Committee Of the Louisiana
Constitutional Convention has agreed upon n
report which, If adopted, will put the govern
ment Of the State absolutely in the power of the
whites. That has avowedly been the object
aimed at, and the only difficulty has been to de-
wise n scheme which would not seem outra-
geously unreasonable The idea Of negro dis
franchsement appears TO excite surprisingly
little outcry in the North, and even the most
honest and intelligent negroes IN Louisiana
show disposition to accept the situation In
good part, only making the enincntly Just de-
mnnd that If the negro is 10 be disfranchised
for iliteracy he shall have reasonable facil
ties as compared with the white 10 acquire an
education and fit himself for citizenship.
The plan recommended by the committee
gives the suffrage 10 four classes Of people: TO
those who can read and write. shown in
written application for registration; to prop
erty-holders paying taxes on $500 of property;
10 the sons Of freehoders; TO all Iersons who
were voters on January |, 1868. On the sur
face these provisions would seem highly I'M
fair TO the negro. but It is explained that tho
second and third specifications are really in
tended TO meet the condition of the Acadian
people in Southwestern Louisiana, and not to
discriminate against the blacks. The Acadians
constitute the bulk Of the population in their
section of the State, are mostly farmers, dwell
by themselves, md hand down the customs of
their ancestors who settled the country n
century and a quarter ago. They are intelli-
gent and honest hut comparatively few Of them

the third provision OF the report, would be
unable to vote.
The proposition to give the suffrage to all
voters of 1868 however Is aimed directly ut the
negroes They did not vote then, and none OF
them can gain n vote by IT, while every middle
aged white. no matter how ignorant or shift
less. will have the ballot This Is manlfcstly
unjust and is merely n manifestation OF race
prejudice. Nor does 1t seem 10 be necessary to
secure white government. for merely on the
score of illerncy IL Is estimated that "ifSo ne
groes MS against 2S370 whites. would bc dis
franchlsed, leaving only 33,S03 negro voters to
13S,6O3 white voters But the old ante-bcum
'white trash" is to have the ballot simply 10
emphasize white superiority.
Against the general scheme Of dlsfranch!se-
ment as we say, there appears 10 he no sfrenu-
Gus opposition. but the Introduction or nm Hill
eracy disqualification, reasonable In itself. only
emphasizes the injustice of the Negroes treat
ment In the matter of education. For Il popu
latIon about equally divided rs TO color. the
State In 1895 provided 2514 teachers for white
schools and only 061 for colored schools In the
same year there were 1890 white and only $50
colorcd schools. The average salaries FOR whte
male and female teachers were respectively
$50 6S and $50 13 month, while the salaries OF
colored teachers were 500 70 and SOB 62. White
schools were kept on an average 5.67 months
and coored 452 months. The number of en-
rolled white children was 9S,400. with an aver
age attendance of 69,559, while the c0lored en-
rolment WIS 65919 and the attendance 1861.
This discrimination is undeniably unfair, ana
the injustice is increased by tho failure of the
State TO educate colored teachers properly. so
that the negro schools it does maintain shall
accomplish reasonable results. Against this
wrong the leaders in negro education protest,
and have addressed memorial to the COnSttu-
