PROTECTING THE PALISADES.

There are bills now before the New-York and
New-Jersey Legislatures for the protection of
the Palisades. The Albany measure bears the
name of Assemblyman Davis, while that now
pending in Trenton is fathered by Assemblyman
Wakelee. Both bills are practically identical
The New-Jersey one provides for the appoint
ment of five Commissioners who shall have
power to and shall select and locate
''such lands lying between the top of the steep
edge of the Palisades and the exterior of the
"bulkhead line Established by law upon the
Hudson River, together with such separate
parcels of unimproved lands lying on the front
'Of the top Of the Palisades as may in
their opinion be proper and necessary TO be re-
Served for the purpose of establishing State
park and thereby preserving the scenic beauty
"of the Palisades the intention of this
''act being to provide, in conjunction with the
State of NewYork, for the establishing of
park along the entire front of the Palisades
from Fort Lee, in this State, to the termination
thereof in New-York"
Neither State is asked TO appropriate any
money to buy the necessary lands Those who
are pushing the movement assume that be-
quests contributions and cash raised by enter
tanments, etc. will be sufficient for that pur-
pose They figure the cost at 100000, but it is
estimated by judges of real estate in the district
designated that the expenditures would run into
the millions But owners of property near the
Palisades have more strenuous objections than
that to urge against the contamination of the
present scheme They make these points:
First-This legislation would forever bar from
commercial use eleven miles of waterfront ada
cent to the great metropolis of the country, thus
injuring property in Bergen County, retarding
the interests of New-Jersey and contracting the
taxable area.
Second-The Commissioners may designate
any property as intended park land long before
there is any money in sight to pay for 1t, thus
cloudng the title of such property and max
ing its sale free use difficult if not impossible.
When these facts are generally known there
may he an alteration in popular sentiment tow
ard the measures before the lawmakers.
AS it is thousands of persons who have never
read the bills are being urged to press their pas
sage. the general ground that TO have them
enacted will save the Palisades" The agita-
tors are well meaning patriotic men and women
who have not stopped to consider all the effects
Of the means proposed to attain that end. Prob
ably few of them committed irrevocably TO
this or any other specific plan, and they will
doubtless be willing to make such changes as
will protect the interests of all concerned.

MR.. STEAD AS PROPHET.

It was the Lord God of Hosts to Whom the
author of the "Recessional' appealed to be with
and 10 admonish England, lest forget"
There are those who with irreverent scoffng
say the answer is given by Mr.. Stead. Such
ievity we would not countenance. Yet we must
confess that the versatile champion Of the So
cialist and friend of the Car is playing well the
part of deus machina, with specially for
reproVing his fellow countrymen of sin, Of
righteousness and Of judgment. Perhaps We
might omit the righteousness. since there is, in
his view, none of il 10 mention, apart from Mr.
Silas Hooking But of sin and of judgment
there is more than enough. We had thought
that Mr. Gamaliel Bradford and Mr. Erving
Winslow and Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison were
trife censoriOus, not 10 say also pessmistic, in
their consideration of this country and its treat
ment Of Aguinaldo. But AT their worst they are
yeritable Cheerybles and Mark Tapeys by the
side of Mr.. Stead.
For, writing in The Review of Reviews on
1.-THE Perilous Position of England Mr. Stead
declares that, having entered upon wanton,
unnecessary and criminal war with braggart
confidence and criminal recklessness England
has practically destroyed her army and has all
but committed felo de Sc The empire is stripped
OF IT'S armOr. its hands are tied behind its back
and its throat is barred to the keen knife of its

many proposes 10 double the size of her feet in
twenty years. which means that she is to be in
stalled in Englands place as mistress of the
seas Mr. Stead loathes and detests having to
give such warnings, but what else can he do?
And so he does It, in his shrillest tones and tells
England the only way in which 10 avert her
doom is 10 make peace with loom Paul" at
once and upon his own terms.
II we mistake not, the immediate fall of Eng
land was confidently predicted In the DAYS of
Mirabeau, and was the theme Of the great trib
une's most caustic scorn. Similar vaccinations
have since from time TO time been made. with in
variable failure of fulhlment. The trouble is that
the prophets of evil look upon only one side of
the case and do not see even that with accuracy
Surely Mr. Stead does not expect us to believe
that England lis still in condition of isolation

AN ARGUMENT FOR TUNNELS.

EXMayOr Schieren'S plan for a subway from
the Brooklyn end of the Bridge to Flatbush-ave.
emphasizes the folly of the Tammany scheme
for new bridge almost parallel with the pres
ent structure. If Fulton, Washington and the
other streets from Flatbush-ave. toward the
waterfront in that section congested almost
beyond endurance, everybody knows they
are what possible excuse can there be for estab-
fishing another system of tracks in a region
already crowded? The new bridge so dear to
the heart of Mayor Van Wyck will not relieve
the pressure at all in Brooklyn, and 1t will not
reach any natural outlet for traffic in Manhat
tan. To secure any convenient access to 1t here
will require extremely long and expensive ap-
prOaches, from which, of course, land specua
tors will get rich and will withdraw from taxa
ton large tracts of valuable real estate which
might just rs well be preserved for purposes of
commerce and to pay their share of the public
burden.
If surface traffic is so heavy in Brooklyn that
it is necessary to have underground approaches
to the Bridge it must be evident that an under
ground route all the way from Manhattan to
FlatbuSh-ave would be much more convenient
There can be no advantage in n bridge which
has to be approached by tunnels and then
reached at the point of greatest congestion by
emerging to the surface and passing above it.
That is the height of awkwardness. \ tunnel
could be built under the East River at much
less expense than bridge and in much shorter
time. Without destroying buildings, withdraw
ing large areas from taxation or adding to the
already great congestion at the surface it could
have terminals at each end just where the con-
venience of the travelling public required. The
Brooklyn elevated railroads-for which, we be-
lieve new route near to the present Bridge
would be most useful-could as easily get down
to tunnel as up to a bridge, and for a tunnel
they would make the change of grade far back
from the point of present crOwding, where no.
body would be troubled, while for bridge they
must get in everybody's way.
1t is pity that some influence cannot get at
our Mayor and induce him to change his atti-
tude about this matter as he has about the rapid
transit tunnel.

OUR PHILIPPINE BOUNDARIES.

Our alert and able Washington correspondent
made public two months ago. for the first time
and exclusively, the interesting story of the
rectifcatiOn of the southern boundary of the
Philippines by which this country secured right
full possession of certain islands which, through
inadvertence or otherwise, Spain had failed to
include in the deed of cesSion under the Treaty
of Peace Yesterday, from the same source, we
were able to present similar details concerning
the rectifcation of the northern boundary Two
or three small groups of islands Just south
of Formosa were left In a somewhat uncer-
tain status, the definition of the group by
latitude not apparently including them while
the definition by name of strait did include
them. The paramount fact was, however, that
the islands formerly belonged to Spain, and were
and are part of the Philippine group, and it was
the intent of both parties to the treaty to con-
vey to the United States title to all such islands
1t is with perfect propriety, therefore, that the
United States flag has been raised above them
and actual possession of them has been taken
As in the former case. there is no occasion to
suspect Spain of any bad faith in the matter
BY this establishment of the boundaries we
become near neighbors to three important Pow
ers. Our possessions are separated from those
of Japan by the Bach or BaShee Strait less
than a hundred miles wide while we are only
about quarter of that distance from British
SOIL in Borneo. and from Dutch possessions in
the Karkaralong Islands OF truth. we are
touching elbows with the other great COM
mercial and cOlonizing Powers of the world
1t is, however in entire friendship, and
with no menace of anything else. The att-
tude of those Powers toward us and toward
our advent among them in that part of the
world has already been shown In a striking
manner There has been not the slightest move
on the part of any of them to take pos
session Of any of these islands the title of
which seemed We have said, for time
trife uncertain Neither Great Britain nor HOl-
questioned our title to it, nor did Japan reach
out toward the Batan Islands. Ignoring techni-
Calites, they respected our moral and equitable
right to them, and patiently awaited our exer-
else of that right in our own convenient time.
What a fine contrast that presents to the
minatory vaccinations of some in our own
land, who were cocksure our acquisition of the
Philippines would be resented by ali other
Powers having possessions in that quarter of
the globe, and would set them all by the ears
against us! The fact is that we seem to be wei
coined there cordially and frankly And, as
Attorney General Griggs well demanded in his
speech the other evening, why should the pres
ence of cur flag there be such a source of
offence TO some of our own people, when all the
rest Of the world is evidently content to have it
there?

LICENSED BARRIERS FOR NEW-yERsEY.

At last 'long felt want is to be supplied.
No longer are Jerseymen the strangers with

faces or heads to unlicensed tonsorial
lists. At least. so says the BARRIERS Association
of the State OF New-Jersey, and It speaks In

In order to make sure that no incompetent
unskilful or inartistic persons smuggle them
selves into the noble and ancient profession so
modestly designated as an Occupation" the bill
in question authorizes Governor Voorhees, to
appoint four members of the BARRIERS Associa-
ton as a Board of Examiners. Each member
of the Board shall receive SIS day and mileage
while actually employed. All applicants for X
animation must pay fee of So. but persons in
the barbering business for five years may
ceive license upon paying fee OF 81. Persons
violating this act shall be liable to fine of not
less than $25 imprisonment for not less than
thirty days. or both.
To doubt that this bill will become law
would be TO reflect on the wisdom and states
