4 LONDON EXAMPLE.

curious incident in municipal administrator
is reported from London. Three inspectors of
the Metropolitan Fire Brigade were reported
to have received and used complimentary tick
cts or passes TO place Of public entertainment.
An investigation Immediately ordered and
the report was confirmed by the confession of
the three inspectors themselves. They admit
ted that they had asked for the passes which
had been unheSitatngly given 10 them bv the
manager OF the place They had done SO how
evcr-aEd there seemed to be no reason for
doubling ths-for the purpose of facilitating
their entrance official business. 1t was cX-
planned that while their official commissions
were sufficient To give them entrance. these
latter were recognized AT only one certain door
and by only one certain agent while the passes
would assure them instant entrance at any
door and at any time. The inspectors added
that they had asked and had received no other
favors Of any kind from the manager This lat
ter declaration was not challenged, and II did
not appear that their official attitude and con
duct toward the place had been in the least de-
gree affected by their receipt of the passes.
Nevertheless. Immediately upon the ascertain
ment OF these facts in the case the chief of the
department suspended the three inspectors
from duty although they were men of long and
hitherto fawless service. and both official and
popular sentiment heartily sustained him in so
doing.
We have spoken OF this curious incident
That is, from the New York, and not from the
London, point of view. Over there the suspen-
sion of these men was universally recognized
as mt and proper-indeed. as necessary But
imagine such thing under the benign domina-
ton of Tammany Hall! Imagine a Tammany
Office holder being punished, or even called to

1.-THE TWOPENNY TUBE"

The opponents of underground rapid transit
for New-York were never weary through all
their long campaign to retard progress of
pointing to the London subways and telling us
that they were failure so far as comfort and
convenience went. We wonder what they
would now be saying If opposition to the
tunnel project had not before this been silenced
and their alarms been discredited. Our London
correspondent this morning tells OF the opening
of the new electric underground railroad line
in London the first there to abolish the steam
locomotive, with its sitting smoke. The new
tunnel is smokeless, dustless light and clean
as the New-York subway will be, and its success
forecasts in small measure what may be
expected here.
Only comparatively short section of THE
Twopenny Tube" has been put in operation yet
but it is already carrying ninety thousand
passengers day, and the buses and tramways
of the limited section which 1t accommodates
testify by their empty seats to its popularity
1t is interesting to note that the comfort of
underground transit is particularly appreciated
on wet days. We do not rely so much on two
story Omnibuses as the Londoners do, but with
our open surface cars and exposed elevated
stairs and platforms rainy day travel in New
York has decided discOmforts. The possibility
of getting up and down town on a wet day
without having dripping umbrellas, leaky
ventilators or saturated streetcar curtains and
wet seats to deal with is most attractive.
The long battle waged by politicians and
capitalists interested in making New-YOrk
endure its present inadequate transit facilities
robbed this city of the honor of first initiating
the system Of electric underground railways
which 1t was pioneer in projecting. The only
comfort to be taken in the delay is the thought
that the actual test in London may enable our
engineers to perfect still further the devices by
which they are finally to give us rapid transit.

OPENING THE SOUDAN.

The engineer led the way for the army and
the engineer follows the army to complete its
work. That is the record of the SOudan. and it
is by no means unprecedented in this Age of
the Engineer The world IS already familiar
with the wonderful story of railroad building
and other engineering works which made pos
sible Lord Kitcheners advance for the redemp-
ton of Khartoum and the whole Egyptian Sou
dan from the fire and sword and unspeakable
cruelty and vieness of Mahdism. In that man
ner not only military road, but great high
way of commerce was created where the
chariots of Cambyses once drove and We're over
whelmed. But that was not enough. Ii was
desirable that the great natural highway of
travel and commerce In Northeastern Africa,
long blocked through the Incidence and malice
Of Dervish savagery, should he rcOpened, and
work upon that stupendous task was begun
almost before the guns at Khartoum grew cool.
The blocking of the Nile with "sudd" or half
floating islands of vegetation and mould, is an
ancient phenomenon. We have record of it in
the days of Nero. when it prevented the pas
sage of a Roman expedition up the river. Sir
Samuel Baker first showed the modern world
how TO deal with 1t, and since his exploits and
achievements ii has been recognized as pos
sible TO keep the river clear. But few years
of neglect inevitably results in complete block
ade. So the party that went up nearly year
ago TO cut the "Sudd' barrier found the river as
fully closed to navigation as though a passage
had never been made. Months OF weary toll
followed, cutting channel for the river across
what seemed a bOundless plain for the river
had for miles practically disappeared and was
flowing here and there in devious channels
underneath the great masses of "sudd." At
length the way opened and then the
stream itself began to assist in the work OF
widening the channel.
AT the present time therefore. there is free
navigation from the Mediterranean Sea up to
the region of the great lakes. That is a most
practical opening Of the Soudan. 1t can, of
course, be kept open. partly by simply keeping
steamers passing up and down the river and
partly by clearing out at once any collections of
vegetation that may form in the water. But
ditiOns that there will he no tendency toward
the formation of "sudd" is yet to be solved.
The most promising proposition is to define
and protect the channel of the river by planting
willows and other suitable trees along its banks
Thus it is thought the river NAV in time be
made narrower and deeper and Its current may
be made swfter. in which circumstances there
would he less danger of the collection of ''sudd'
In this way. too the loss of water by evapora-
tiOn will be lesSened. and thus the flow of water
for the maintenance of navigation and for the
irrigation of Lower Egypt will be increased. 1t
is work of stupendous magnitude and the
successful completion of it will deserve far to
outrank the military exploits of the River War.

to the Mayor who-well-"acqulres'' large

ity to his favorable action upon public measures
involving the trusts welfare, perquistes and
tribute are the badges of the tribe. In such
things is to be found the key to the immeas-
urable contrast between the administration Of
municipal affairs in Great Britain and In the
United States. The sense of honor in the former
seems to the latter exaggerated and over
strained. So the grand and petty peculations in
the latter seem to the former all but incompre-
hensible

Gates tells the rest Of the story There is n
great and important work for all the forces
opposed to Tammany Hall, independents and
Republicans alike, to do next year Perhaps
1t will be a sacrifice for some of the indepen-
dents to refrain from attempting to involve the
Citizens Union in third ticket movement this
year; but perhaps, also, those who are really
devoted to the municipal principles which they
advoco will be willing for the sake of these
to make the sacrifice. 1t scarcely seems pos
sible that, remembering 1898, they will be
drawn again into action absurd to be fol
lowed by consequences as unfortunate.

All the talk about Great Britain being the

States a debtor nltion"-wherefore. Mr.. Bryan

halves, and so spoil the Egyptians" now

placing loan in the United States. and
thus borrowing money of US, and making her
self a debtor nation and this a creditor nation
