stopped in the tunnel or to loiter along in 1T
at a foot pace. and thus spend two or three
times as long period in its noisome depths as
IL should do. Monday morning, for example,
nearly every train that entered the city was
stopped in the tunnel The rule was for a train
TO stop in the tunnel for few minutes, then
move on slowly a little further. then stop
again. and so on, until, after from three to
dozen stops and weary minutes of snail
like crawling. it emerged into open air again.
1t has long been a pretty general practice thus
to treat trains on Monday mornings. when
traffic is heavier than other days, but such
occurrences are by means unknown on all
other days of the week. Certainly it would be
a simple matter to order all trains halted
when any halting is necessary-ebove the tunnel
and not permit them to enter it until there IS
assurance of unobStructed passage.
This may seem like q small matter. not touch
ing the heart of the problem at all. 1t is never
theless an important matter. attention TO which
would prove a real boon to thousands OF pas
sengers, and would demonstrate far more
strongly than words can do the sincerity of the
railroad companys desire to abolish the nul-
sances of the tunnel and TO give to the public
the best possible service.

leaders outside Philadelphia have declared war
against the elements suspected of trading with
the Republican managers and the outcome or
the struggle to enforce proper discipline with

out of the State with genuine solicitude. Ger
tanly no severer blow could be struck at our
system Of popular government than the aban-
donment by a minority of its true duties and
uses as an opposition, and ii is TO be hoped that
the Pennsylvania Democracy will lose no time
in publicly repudiating such a surrender or
natural responsibilities as is charged against
not a few of the leaders on whom 1t has law
ished party honors and TO whom 1t has in
trusted the cares of party management

Controller Cole: must he rejoced to learn that
the material cleansing which he is now en-
gagged in bestowinC on Coney Island is 10 be
supplemented nv the police with a moral purIf-
cation Of the most drastic sort. There seems
TO be no doubt about the fact. for the work
actually begun Monday night on n large
scale and with an heroic determination which
has seldom if ever been surpassed in the long
shining record of the department. The forces
engaged were an inspector. a captain. six deteC
tives. as many precinct men and n patrol
wagon. and. IN order that their proceedings
might he veiled In n secrecy so dense as TO
make il utterly impossible for anybody 10 warn
the lawbreakers of what was coming they pro-
ceeded In body 10 the scene OF their labors
aboard n trolley car After their arrival at the
station house every precaution against prema-
ture disclosure of their intentions was adroitly
taken. Thus, from about the hour of o O'Clock
the detectives left the station in pairs at inter
walls of fifteen minutes, and returned thither
for information and instructions in the same
order after brief absence. OF course no hint
of impending trouble could cOnceivably escape
such vigilance but TO render assurance doubly
sure the patrol wagon was called into service
and made repeated trips 10 and fro at n high
rate Of speed.
1t is a familiar and discouraging fact that
the superhuman sagacity of evildoers has not
infrequently bafled the skill with which police
raids conducted, but in this instance sue
cess inevitable Ii might be delayed n in
fact ii was. but il was bound 10 come before
the night was over. Time and again the patrol
wagon returned TO the station without pris-
Oner, but the officers of the law simply would
not be denied and at last they had their re-
ward. AS nearly as men can reckon who take
no note of time, II was between l and a. m.
when five hideous scoundrels who had been
caught backhanded at a game of pinochle were
gathered in, together with 81 so and pack of
cards. 1t is by sucn unsleeping vigilance as
this, whether at Santiago or COney Island, that
great results are accomplished. Let us cele-
brate with pride and gratitude the victory Of

that the latter was dissatisfied with the choice
OF Admiral Dewey and Admiral Benham III

various ardent supporters of Admiral Schley 10
stop predicting that he will not obtain justice
from the inquiry which he invoked. Such talk
infallibly produces on unprejudiced minds the
impression that they have prejudged the case
and are already prepared TO denounce the YER

IL does not reflect their opinion

no LOITERING IN THE TUyyEL

There is one measure for the relief of pas
sengers passing through the Park-ave. tunnel
which might be put into effect at an hours
notice, which involves no engineering problem
nor any increase OF expenditure, and yet which
would greatly mitigate the annoyance and
actual suffering of the public 1t is TO be sug-
gested, and indeed urged, for the benefit of
the public and for the aid of the railroad com
pany, which declares itself to be sincerely de-
sirous OF remedying the evils of the tunnel and
In receptive and welcoming mood toward all
practicable plans for doing so.
The measure proposed is simply TO stop what
we may call the lettering of trains in the tunnel
by permitting train to enter the tunnel until
there is a clear track on which il may pass
through without delay. 1t is perfectly obvious
that while the abominable conditions described
by the chief engineer of the road continue to
exist in the tunnel it is desirable for people TO
spend as little time as possible in there, and
therefore for, the trains to pass through as
expeditiously as possible. The normal running
time is, let say, four or five minutes Now.

boxes for so long. TO be for so long exposed

HORSES OF HIGH RENOWN.

That superb trotter Cresceus has cut the
record down to 2:024 although a strong wind
was blowing in his face in the final quarter
mile. John ]. Scannell, owner of The Abbot,
says that the former champion has moved a
half mile in private trial in 1:01 and that he
believes The Abbot will prove his superiority
to CresceIIs when they come together. 1t is
now expected that the horses will fight ii out
at Brighton Beach on August Is. Each will
meet a foeman worthy Of his speed. but 1t is
not likely that the record will be in peril on
that occasion. The turns at that track are too
sharp 10 make it possible for trotters TO
approach the two minute mark. A kite shaped
course is favorable to Noteworthy exploits on
the part of trotters and PAGERS That was
proved long ago. An absolutely straight track
is obviously the ideal arena for the most daz-
zling feats of speed. as even with gentle and
easy curves and turns there must be some
appreciable abatement of speed. Many races in
England are decided over courses so nearly
straight that the term 'straghtaway" is applied
to them But American spectators of speed
contests like 10 see the whole of every race
from start 10 finish. At the second Monmouth

siderably less than the length OF those at Sleeps

TO VINDTCATE PARTY HONOR.

The fight now In progress within the Demo
cratic party in Pennsylvania for the control of
next weeks State convention has excited and
! deserves 10 excite, a more than local interest.
Not that the candidates for minor offices who
are TO be nominated are expected TO upset next
fall the enormous Republican majority now
normal in the keystone State. Under present
conditions in Pennsylvania Democratic success
at the polls is one Of the remotest contingencies
of politics. Neither can the declarations Of a
hopeless minority party in an impregnable
stronghold Of Republicanism be counted on 10
influence greatly rhe readjustments Of Demo
cratic policy now promised for the Presidential
campaign OF 1904. Interest IN the work of the
convention WILL therefore attach not so much
to its effect on Democratic fortunes abroad as
10 the corrective pressure il will bring TO bear
on party delinquencies at home; for the State
organization has now virtually to face the dis
agreeable dilemma OF either purging itself of a
considerable portion of its membership or con-
Tossing its abandonment of the vital and neces-
sary functions of political opposition.
II was clearly demonstrated at the last ses-
sion Of the Pennsylvania legislature that the
Democratic minority in that body constituted
opposition only in name. Unity OF action
could az no time be enforced by the Democratic
caucus, against whose protest a sufficient num-
