We understand that New York is to have
an underground railway and that it is to
be built by private capital. H Sun has
always opposed tho building of such u road
except by private capital and we incline to
the belief that to our Efforts may be ascribed
the failure Of the various conspiracies to
saddle an underground system upon the
city treasury.
Heretofore tho condition OF the money
market and the prevailing rates OF in
terest have precluded the possibility
Of private capital being enlisted for an
underground road. 1t was not an attrac-
tive proposition, and its repeated condem-
nation by The L on the ground of
its imp~racticability was fully confirmed
on every occasion when it was tested.
Now, however, conditions have changed.
The outlook for interest upon capital makes
many things possible which only a few
years since were out Of the question, and
one of them may be an underground rail-
way for Greater New York. Given reason
able encouragement and there is no great
public project to which the courage Of capt.
tai is not adequate.

that the bill transferring the Dreyfus in
y~estigation from one section OF the Court
Of Cessation to the whole tribunal was Il
measure Of bad faith. Premier DUPUY, who
introduced the bill, professed to desire a
more perfect and more impartial revision;
but there Is reason to fear that he aimed at
Il revision In the interests OF the enemies Of
DREYFus. 1t Is certain that he, himself,
was Premier in 1894, at the time OF the
Dreyfus court-martial, n that he has
since repeatedly defended the sentence then
pronounced. 1t IL also certain that. In the
Chamber Of Deputies, all the monarchists,
Boulangists, anti-Semites and soralled
Rallied" Republicans, who are accused
of being monarchists in disguise, voted
for the bill transferring the inquiry,
whereas a majority OF the sincere Republic
cans, who care more Tor free institutions
than they do for the army. voted against 1t.
II follows that the Acknowledgements must
have expected to- gain something from the
measure. They may have learned from
NJ. DE B~EAuREPAIRE that in the two non
criminal sections there are many Judges
recruited from the ranks OF politicians for
political services, whereas this Is not the
case in the criminal section. They seem to
have counted IN securing friends enough in
the whole court TO prevent it from pro-
restrain it from tying down too tightly by
the conditions of reference the new court
martial 10y which DREYFUs may be tried.

But anything is better for the city, and
worthier OF the Albany Legislature. than
the contlscation of one OF the lines OF travel,
that Of the Third Avenue, intended by the

an outrage which no self-rcspecting com

lature or party perpetrate.

fast approaching the time when they will
deliver the final and crushing blow, 1t will

after, remnants Of military opposition may
remain, the main organized Aguinaldo en-

The White Rose In Boston.

Som light Is thrown upon the strange
in~fatuation of certain Bostonians for the
pretender A~GUINALDo by the proceedings
OF a meeting OF the North American Cycle
OF the Order OF the White Rose in that
town last week.
The North American Cyclers are a queer
lot, even for Boston. They propose to have
q dinner May 20, TO celebrate the ami
versary OF the restoration of CHARLES ii.
TO the English throne. A letter from q
French partisan of CHARLES VII" don
CARLOS was read at the meeting and q
portrait of his eldest son, Don JAIME, was
exhibited to the revcrCnt North Ameri-
can Cyclers. Mr.. RALPH ADAMS CRAM was
elected Prior, He "suEg"st"d that it would
be eXpedient to publish at least quarterly n
magazine containing Lcgitimist news and
comments upon current events, traditions,
genealogical and historical notes upon
legitimate Governments and their adj
herents." The retiring Prior was thanked
for his eminent services and loyal dcvo-
tion To the cause of Legitimacy"
The Anti-ImpcrialiSt League should be
consolidated with the Order of the White
Rose. Both societies are struggling for
essentially tho same noble causes, and We
dare say the prospects of the various pre-
tenders whom they worship are ou an equal
scale OF hupelessness. 1t must be admit
tel, however, that A~GUINALDo is n little
tougher than most of the prctendrrs. The
worthier are his American supporters to
wear the White Rose. The greater the
wrong-headedness of the adorcr Of pretend.
ers the greater his fitness to adore.

The Advantage of One Eve.

During the late Spanish American
war certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
very indignant because he was put
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one of the
New York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin. the
Colonel journcyed to Washington, bent
on having personal interview with
the President. He succeeded in gaining
an audience, and the President, after
listening to his plea, said kindly:
But, my good Colonel j., you have
only one eye."
Just so, sir" was the prompt re-
Joinder; but can't you see the great

horses, fancy drinks and handsome
women and the combination proved as
fatal TO him as to hundreds of others.
lie was a favorite in society years ago
and married beautiful Cornelia Luton.
She left him ere long and died two
years ago, their daughter following her
within a few days. One cause of the
separation of Aspinwall and his wife
was his fondness for Lillian Russell,
when she was Casino favorite.
