Relations of British and Natives.
There are in India $50 native states-great
and small. They are governed by their own
princes and chiefs with the advice and help of
British residents representing the supreme
government of India. Some Of these rulers
administer the internal affairs Of their re-
spective states with almost complete inde-
pendence. Their authority, however, is linn
tied by their Individual treaties and engage
them to go to war with one another, nor to
form alliances with foreign powers, and 1t in

Underground New York.
Feb. 19.-Underground New York is a vast
region to which little thought is given even
by our own citizens, much less by the stran-
ger within our gates. The region is in a
way as vast and as interesting as under
ground Paris, if which Americans hear so
much. Without the rapid transit tunnel now
in course of construction all Manhattan is
land, could it be uncovered, would be found
intersected with tunnels and galleries and
apartments, resembling more than anything
else great coal mine with the lid off The
growth of the great city has been forced
downward as well as skyward by the demand
for space. The big Office buildings, the won
der of the world, run from two to four sto-
ries underground. The thirty-story Park
Row building, in which this office is located
goes sixty feet underground, all of the space
being utilized by restaurants, dynamo-rooms
Office building life. All over the lower part
of the city are groups of these subterranean
rooms and passages. Then there are long
passages running under the cable and trolley
car tracks, for the use of workmen in maxi
ing repairs From these, branching out
eastward and Westward run other passages
extending all over the island All along
Broadway the buildings run underground. the

Banking and trust companies, and particu-
largly safety deposit companies, have their
offices fitted up beneath the sidewalks to be
near the vaults. Clerks work there day in
and day out without light save what filters
through heavy shaded glass and that which
is given out by incandescent lights. Every
day pedestrians on Broadway, Broad street,
Wall and Nassau streets walk over almost
countless millions of dollars worth of bonds
and securities and coin and bullion. Lines
OF underground rooms often extend east and
west for several blocks at important cross
streets When one gets uptown in the retail
district the same underground rooms are to
be found, but are used for entirely different
purposes. Display rooms and an ice cream
parlor take up some OF the underground
space of big department. store at Ninth
street. There are subterranean passages
running completely under the street to con-
meet these rooms. Uptown every conceivable
kind of business is carried on underground.

The Growth of British Authority.
The original charter of the British East
India company was granted by Queen Eliza
beth in 1916. Pitts India bill'' of 1884 trans
ferred the direction of the company to a
board Of control, whose president represented
Indian affairs in the house Of commons. The
charter was renewed from time to time and
each renewal was marked by further devel-
opments of territorial authority. The out
come Of a succession of wars involved the
direct annexation or the indirect subordna-
tion of native states. under the form of pro-
tectorates. In 1858, after the terrible mutiny,
the policy embodied in Pitts India bill''
was carried out to its conclusion. The board
of control was superseded by the secretary
Of state and the council for India, and all
the political rights of the company were
transferred to the crown. Finally, in 1877,

have imagined himself IN Arctic regions The
bay and the rivers emptying into it have been
almost completely filled with ice compelling
the tugs and ferries to plow their ways slow
ly through to their slips, often effecting a
landing many hours behind their time Taken
early in the morning, the bay looked like a
frozen plain with few tugs and boats ap-
parently caught In the ice. Snowy heights Of
Staten island completed the picture of polar
erect. In spite of this no one can conceive
the harbor being closed to navigation, as the
ice packs can be showed to one side at almost
any point. Although the ferries may be late
to the disgust of commuters, there is no hope
at any time Of persons walking across the
water from Staten island or Jersey. Not
since the winter OF 1880 has such feat been

POWER OF The BALLOT.

The yare after Tammany trifie more
slrenuously now than ever before. This
accounts for Richard Croker's return to
New York city. 1t will require all OF
Croker's executive ability to prevent the
disintegration Of Tammany. 1t is prob
able that he Will be equal to the services
demanded of him, and that Tammany
made. A warrant has been issued for
the arrest of William S. Devery, deputy
commissioner of police, and so incensel
are the people against HIM that they VIII
be satisfied with nothing less than his
official head. Devery is charged with
oppression and neglect of duty. His re-
cent attempt to break several police
men, causing in one instance park po.
liceman of 40 years standing, and
prime public favorite, to resign. has
Devery is virtually the head Of the New
York police. He is said to be as crooked
as old Chief Byrnes. but has none of his
ability. The committee of Is, with JUS
tice Jerome at its head, in attempting
to purify New York city, have hercL-
lean task, and even if they succeed the
city will not stay reformed as long as
Tammany is in control. New York city
could be redeemed, and any city can for
that matter if right methods are en-
control of local affairs, supplant that or
ganization by a better. This can be
done, but as rule good citizens are too
Indecent to take an active part in poll
tics, and until they do the Tammany
method, which is, in brief, protection of
vice subject to regulation, if vice is will
ing to pay for protection, win obtain.
Good citizens are responsible for all md
nicipal governments, and if the affairs
of city are not managed as they should
be, the blame rests With them. They,
good citizens, are always in the ma
jority, and if they do their duty at the
polls good government will follow. The
most powerful political machine ever
constructed can be smashed by the ball
lot. and in no other manner. Even Tam.
many can be rendered pOwerless, but not
in the way the handful OF reformers in
New York are trying to break it up. a
bigger and a better machine can be con-
structed on right lines. Purity in poll
tics is not an iridescent dream. as as
serted by the late John James Ingalls,.
Good policies with good men will win
out in the end. The New York Sun. an
petitions for Devery's removal be circu-
lated, hit the nail on the head when it
said: Leave petitions alone. Your
remedy is in the ballot. Vote a new
\ mayor into Office at the next election"
