profoundest most solemn questions that man
has ever asked. Mr.. Gore admits that there
may be worlds outside the range OF visiDih'y'
He says:
The distance between these separate systems
or island universes' as they have been caiieu-
may be very great, compared with the diameter
Of each SYSTEM In the same way that the dlaihe-
ter OF visible universe is very great COM
pared with the diameter OF the solar system
AS the sun is a star. and the stars are suns
and as our sun is separated from his neighDor
suns in space by a sunless void. so may our
universe be separated from other universes by
a vast and starless abyss. On this hypothesis,
the supposed extinction OF light-whch may
have little or no perceptible effect within the
limits of our visible unverse-may possibly come
into play across the vast and immeasurabie dis
tances which probably separate the different
universes from each other"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I want 10 thank you most heartily FOR the
ringing editorial In this mornings issue enutieo
RENE mber the Maine" I wish II had been pup
lshed before and that you had kept ringing the
changes on H. 1t the best editorial upon the SUBJ

have felt that The Tribune In It's desire 10 sustain
the President in his diplomacy has been little 100
conservative in a where action. and not dipo-
macy was imperatively called for. Any one VINO
knows ANYTHING about the harbor Of Havana. and
how carefully It Is always guarded even In time OF
peace knows that 1t Is an utter impossiolhty TOT
the Maine TO have been blown up by torpedo or
submarine mine without the connlvance OF the
Spanish officials Knowing as do every foot OF that
harbor am amazed that any one can entertain any
other thought In regard to IT, And yet our Presi-
dent has laid almost stress at all in his dipIo-
macy upon the Maine outrage.
have tried 10 be patient. remembering the d',-
fculties by which he Is surrounded, ana reaIizihs
also his responsibilities. but have felt all along
that he has been weak where he ought to have
been strong but have all along felt that he would
viniicate his delay and seeming vacation at the
last. But his hnal word has come to-day IN the
shape OF his message 10 Congress. and TO me II
seems to be about the weakest state document con-
sidering the circumstances, that we nave Ddu iO'

II Is strong Indictment OF Spain, but utterly
weak In that Il does not insist In the strongest
terms that there is but remedy for the troubles
In Cuba and that is for Spain 10 get out OF that
island and to do so a, once. and that II she does
do ne O
should at once be launched against her This
might mean war, but II so let It come
The writer OF this knows what war Is, having
served all through the war for the Union. and been
in over thirty engagements and he deprecates war
as much as any can, but II We are having

Nv only hope Is In Congress. The fact that there
are so many opinions 10 the import OF the Presi-

the grave questions open TO further diplomacy

no uncertain sound; Two things Spain should have

Sir: The Tribune is TO be most highly commended

history OF the Metlakahtla Indians II would seem

THE BRIDGE AND THE TROLLEY COMPANIES

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: How ridiculous and unreasonable are the
requirements put forth by tho representatives OF
the trolley companies now crossing the BROOKLYN
Bridge. To say that cents or even 20 cents
should satisfy for the right granted and the actual
who understands addition and subtraction wholly
inadequate. | have interested myself enough 70
keep an account OF five crossings to and from Part
Row. The lowest number twenty-eight and
the highest hfty-six, which equals eighty four or
- Is for the trolley companies and cents for the
Bridge. This was at different hours OF the day
1t is clearly demonstrated that the service OF the
trolley is wholly inadequate. and the crossing OF
the elevated railway will be hailed with more than
ordinary satisfaction The argument is brought
forth that the increased number OF men employ ed
by the trolley companies exceeds the number dis
charged by the Bridge Commissioners Surprising
grant that statement: In what light should IL
DO viewed? Are not those men put there simply
dollar 30 expended do they not expect to get fully
500 returned?
II Is claimed that the public Is benefited nnan-
cialy. What represents the public? Does II mean
a few individuals controlling the system? The
number would not MI one Or does Ii mean the
people that pay taxes and rents? How Is the de-
hcency OF 10000 to be made up otherwise than by
may be beneficial. but to nervous person. nothing
could be worse. II our honorable and wide-awake
Mayor would only take the initiative and have every
wire suspended In the air pulled down he would
