fact IS of course that our system is much more
conservative than that Of France, and is much
further removed from the plebiscitary ideal.
Indeed this Republic is actually less radical,
less democratic, less susceptible to the instant
effect of popular opinion than some Of the so
called monarchies. A British Cabinet may be
turned out of office and the policy OF the Gov
eminent reversed at any time by single Par
liamentary division, while In this country a
President and Cabinet may be secure and may
maintain a certain policy for years against and
in spite of Congress and the people The British
Constitution may be amended and revolution
ICED in an hour. but to effect the simplest
change In ours would be labor of years
1t may be paradoxical in terms but it is
nevertheless quite true that the country which
has set to the world its greatest example OF
republicanism has also become the chief bull
wark of conservatism. Instead of shaking all
the thrones and Powers into indiscriminate
ruin and precipitating the social revolution, this
Republic has really become conserving force
an examplar Of order. and-in the true sense-a
savior Of society. II Is in vain that madmen
like Derouede and his fellow conspirntors ap-
peal to the United States for approval OF their
halfanarchic half-despotic schemes

professional repute Nor should we rali 10
recognize how accurately the requirements OF
the case were foreseen and the interests or the
city protected in the Rapid Transit act, which
was drawn by Mr.. Henry r. Beekman, now
Justice of the Supreme Court.
1t is interesting TO observe that the Rapid
Transit Commission, having done so much, Is
not inclined to rest from its labors but Is
already considering extensions of the original
route to Brooklyn and even to Staten Island
We suppose the general belief 10 be that under
ground roads are the only possible solution or
the transportation problem in New-Iork, and
that the completion of Mr.. McDonalds contract
will be the beginning rather than the end OF
the process. 1t is an axiom Of the transporta-

CATION. could slide through a legislative house
with scarcely show of opposition. OF course,
the easy and expeditions adoption Of this scheme
by the Assembly last Wednesday cannot be at
tributed to base motives the part of all or
most of those who voted for it. More than two
thirds of the members united in passing it along
to the Senate, as If 1t had been merely bill to
let an unfortunate man with iawbrealling pat
ronymic of seven syllables change his name.
How did it happen that 107 Assemblymen were
willing to go on record in favor of an obviously
important measure without stopping to ask even
in the most casual manner what il meant?
1t is possible if not probable. that a few Of
those who voted for the bill had reasons which
they would not care TO divulge even though
nothing worse than log rolling was involved;
but presumably the rest simply let 1t slide, ex-
pecting that ii would he stopped at a later stage

honest member of Assembly who took part in it

THE BUYERS WITHIN OUR GATES

The agreeable observation is made that there
is an unusually large number of out of town
merchants or their agents now in New-YOrk
making purchases Of goods for their spring
and summer trade. 1t is said that there are at
least twice as many OF them as last year or the
year before. To what cause this is chiefly to be
ascribed does not ndsputably appear. Much
credit is claimed for, and is doubtless due TO,
the New-York Merchants Association and the
earnest and effective efforts ii has recently
made to remind tradesmen all over the country
of the supreme advantages of the metropolitan
market and to facilitate their progress hither.
1t does not appear, however, that the other
cities. which have cherished a futile ambition OF
rvalling NewYork are altogether deserted. II
they are, they are keeping their tales of woe to
themselves with uncommon taciturnity. We
are inclined, therefore, to think that some of
the credit is due to the general increase of bust
ness and revival of prosperity throughout the
country.
But these causes afford ground for hearty sat
isfacton. 1t is gratifying to know that business
is good, money plentiful and people are pros
porous all over the country, which is what this
increased demand for goods must mean. Three
years ago the Nation was assured, with all
imaginable vehemence. pathos and solemnity,
that maintenance of the hundred-cent dollar
would mean all but universal hard times, pow
erty and ruin, and that the only way under
heaven and among men whereby could
escape going to the everlasting bOWwOws
and make every man, woman and child in the
country healthy wealthy and wise, waA to
enact that 30 cents should be equal to 100
cents, and that the Supreme Court of the
United States must go. The Nation in general
and New-York in particular, declined to be
moved by such pleadngs, and their decision j"
now indicated In a substantial increase o.
prosperity to the Nation in general and to New
York In particular.
Apart from such considerations, the multi
tudes of visiting buyers are heartily to be well
the continent stocked with amplest variety of
goods at the lowest prices. They will find New
York moreover the most comfortable and most
enjoyable city in which TO make their sojOurn
and to mnge business with pleasure. They
will find the best hotels, the best theatres
despite some mighty bad plays-the finest
operas-despite occasional OSCILLATIONS Of the
stars-the greatest variety of churches and Of
creeds the most sumptuous clubs and the most
Hemisphere. The badness of the city govern
ment will not seriously affect them, and the
Chinese puzzle of street signs will probably
amuse as much as II bewilders them And last
but not least-but no! The native modesty of
the journalistic profession restraints us from
saying what kind of newspapers they will find
here Nor is II necessary For do they not al
ready know?

NOW FOR THE TUNNELS.

After the formal execution Of the rapid tran
sit contract in the Controllers office yesterday
the meeting not appropriately assumed the
outward characteristics of a love feast 1t was
quite natural that the Commissioners for whom
Mr.. Orr spoke and whose feelings on an occa-
sion of extraordinary interest he doubtless ex-
actly reflected should be in an amiable mood
and disposed TO make a general distribution of
compliments. After years of opposition inspired
TO some extent by honest motives. but for the
most part selfish rather than ignorant, they
have won a notable victory and obtained a
sufficient recompense for all that they have
been compelled TO endure. If they had con-
suited only their personal comfort they
would probably have abandoned their task long
ago, as they were derisively advised 10 do many
times during the period when political hostility,
adverse transportation interests legal compiled
tons and financial depression seemed to have
heaped insuperable obstacles In their way. But
their patience and public spirit were equal 10
the strain. They held on and at last their
sagacity is fully recognized their persist
ence. Every trace of organized opposition has
disappeared, and with 1t that strange irrational
repugnance TO the idea of underground roads
which used 10 find expression in the stereotyped
inquiry, "Who wants to ride through hole IN

confidently expect that, as Mr.. McDonald's work
proceeds and the people are subjected TO the
various discomforts which il must inevitably in

his line Of operations; but if his care and skill
have not been oyerestimated keen sense OF
satisfaction in the progress Of a necessary i'm

this moment, the undertaking enters upon
the practical stage. public contentment is uni
Versal and official appreciation unanimous. 1t
may be said indeed, without any desire TO rasp
anybody's feelings, that the present attitude of
the municipal administration is remarkable and
slightly diyerting. Even Mayor Van Wyck is
delighted With a modesty which did him
credit and with suggestion Of humor of which
he was perhaps unconscious. His Honor yester-
day declined for himself the Controller and his
bosom friend" the Corporation Counsel TO pre-

scheme; whence came Sedan. We do not think
france desires repetition OF that experience
But NJ Marcel-Habert added to American in
terest In his schemes by appealing to the Amer
lean example 1t was the plebiscite, he declared.
Whlch enabled this country TO plant its flag in
Cuba and the Philippines; wherefore had
France had a plebiscitary President her flag
would have remained at Fashoda. That Is
more than midsummer madness in midwinter
For. on the one hand. has not France with

a third of the African Continent? Before such
cOnquests Cuba and the Philippines are small
indeed And. the other hand, whatever the
United States has done. it has done without
the plebiscite There is not. and there never
has been, a plebiscte in this country in the
French sense of the term.
We must consider NJ Marcel bert's ha-
rangue as simply another exhibition of the
ignorance of American affairs which prevails to
n great extent in Europe. II is not of course
universal. The same country which owns NJ
Marcel-Habert also produced De Tocqueville
But 1t is n fact that large number of Euro
