they have studied his administration and he is
all right. Now, what the people want. and
may justly claim. is not mere assurance that
Mr.. Shepard will do what he thinks right and
extlrpate what he thinks wrong. but evidence
that his ideas Of what is right and what wrong
agree with theirs: and his careful failure TO
give them information on this point it af
fects the Police Department. while running on
| a platform which commends that department
as managed by Devery, makes them rightly in
sistent upon an answer TO their question.
They have a very decided conviction that
Devery runs the department for the benefit of
criminals and uses it as an instrument of the
most revolving blackma Mr.. Croker, Mayor
Van Wyck and Colonel Murphy say they are
mistaken. They want 10 know whether Mr..
Shepard agrees with them about this or with
the persons who have nominated him. They
are ready to believe that he would not con-
scously agree to blackmailing and partnership
with crime in the Police Department, but will
he recognize those evils in particular case or
be as blind to them as are the convention which
named him and the city officials whose admin
istration he is running to vindcate? Doubtless,
too, he would disapprove extortion from mer-
chants dealing with the city; but does he recog-
nize in the particular transactions Of Scanneil
and Marks extortion TO be punished, or does he
agree with Mr.. Croker and Mayor Van Wyck
that they are perfectly innocent business ar
rangements?
A great many of Mr.. Shepard's friends and
large body of the general public suddenly find
that Mr.. Shepard's moral perceptions do not
seem TO tally with theirs. They have agreed
with him that Tammany was foul blot on our
municipal history and have thought 1t dishonor-
able to assist it to maintain its powen He
thinks otherwise. no doubt sincerely. Naturally,
therefore, the question arises, VIII his view OF
what is proper administration and who are
eide with that OF other honorable men than his
view of the propriety Of becoming a Tammany
candidate? He may be honest on both subjects,
but honestly deluded. He may be politically
color blind and likely to mistake 'red light
for the lamp of truth. Assurances of his pure
PURPOSES therefore. do not meet the situation.
Do those pure purposes involve the dismissal
of Devery? Do they mean the displacement OF

gains color from memories of Zankoff and
Kaubars.
There Is extant a rumor that Turkey has
asked Russia or Russia has offered. TO mediate
in the dispute between the Sublime Porte and
the French Government. and that in return for
such services Russia is to receive the cession
or a lease of the Black Sea port of BOurgas.
On account of her intimate though one-sded re-
lations with France, Russia should prove an
efficient and agreeable intermediary in that
case. The quid pro quo is, however. a little
peculiar. Bourgas is Turkish port in only the
most conventional sense. In actual practice it
is a Bulgarian port, and one of two ports which
are all that Bulgaria possesses. 1t is not con-
ceivable that Turkey could ALLEVIATE it in any
degree without Bulgarian consent 1t will be
remembered, however, that a Russian grand
duke recently visited Bourgas, with Russian
ships and soldiers and fraternized with Prince
Ferdinand. There then rumOr that Rus
sia was trying to get possession of the place
but Bulgaria was unwilling to let her have it,
1t is just possible that Bulgarias reluctance
was due to the then supposed impossibility of
getting the assent of Turkey the suzerain
power, but that Turkey is willing TO
grant 1t.
Meantime it !. Interesting to observe that 'in
spite Of all temptations the one really impOr-
tant Balkan State remains steadfastly as
ever q barrier in the way of Russian desires
Indeed. Russias wish for Bourgas is in itself
an indication of her recognition of the fact that
she can never hope to make road TO ConStan-
tnople across Rumania. bat must in some way
pass around that kingdom and get a foothold
at the south of the Danube. The Russian Pan
Slav prODagandiStS some time ago established
at Bucharest Franco Russian review entitled
'Pravoslavnyi Vostok," the unCOncealed purpose
of which was to promote a union Of all the
Greek Church peoples-Rumanians Bugarians,
Serbs and Greeks-under the political hegemony
OF Russia. But this and other like endeavors
seem to have been in vain The Emperor of
Austria and the King of Rumania have just
been holding long conferences. the practical alli-
ance between the two countries has been re-
newed and strengthened. and a significant ap-
proachment between Rumania and GREECE has
been effected.
Evidently the Balkan problem Is a cOmpli-
Gated one. with great possibilities of startling
Developments That Russian influence is dOmi-
nant in Bulgaria and Servia is undoubted. But
it seems equally clear that anti Russian or at
least non Russian, influences prevail in Rumania
and Greece And Rumania is of more account,
in both peace and war. than all other Balkan
States put together and she lies squarely in
Russia's southwark path. with her capital the
strongest fortress on the continent

BRIDGE TERMINAL FACILITIES

The important propositions of Commissioner
Shea's experts for the Improvement of terminal
Facilities at the Park Row end of the bridge
are three i'm number They relate TO the trolley
loops and the construction OF two elevated
roads. one TO connect the station with bridges
Nos and 3. and the other running down Park
Row. across Broadway and so TO West and
Cortlandt SIS. 1t is over these features of the
report that the chief discussion will arise The
minor ones-with the exception of that in re-
gard TO an utterly needless curb between trolley
tracks and wagon paths-will probably en-
counter no opposition.
A reform in tha arrangement of the trolley
loops. it may be remarked, is not called for in
the interest of pedestrians. because the latter
already have convenient and safe access to the
promenade by way of staircases. But II is de
sirable 10 separate outgoing from incoming
passengers. and 10 keep those who one
track from crossing the others Messrs Boiler
Prout and Whinnery advise raising the loops
from their present position 10 the floor above
the street. Possibly the objects in view could
be attained well by depressing the tracks
ten or fifteen feet and having the starcases
thereto descend instead Of ascend. A good deal
might be said in favor of such plan. but it
would have at least two serious drawbacks.
The passengers would not have as much light
and air as would be afforded by the other
scheme; and such persons as wished 10 cross
the street 10 City Hall Park would do so nj the
level of Park Row. whereas If the loops were
raised they would naturally take the Centre-st.
bridge Thus a better distribution of the
crowd would be effected. On the whole then
the idea OF utilizing the mezzanine floor of the
bridge station for the trolley loops is 10 be com
mended.
But the proposition to connect the three
bridge terminals with elevated road run
ming up Centre-st. is open 10 grave objections.
In the first place. there will be little traffic be-
tween those points. Each bridge viii minister

~ means for a convenient return of bridge
'-oins 10 Brooklyn. A simpler way 10 accom-
"a that result would be TO make loop at the
dye station itself Mr.. Sheas experts pro-
nounce this impracticable, but equally good
engineers have long entertained an opposite
opinion on that point. Furthermore, New-York
already has elevated roads enough and to spare,

BALKAN COMPLICATIONS.

The Balkan States evidently do not mean to
them i'm international interest. They are lust
now displaying their versatile ability to raise
trouble and to cause anxiety. The seizure of
the American missionary, Miss Stone, by brig
spite the naive denial of the head Of the Mace
donian Committee our first suspicion. that the
brigands were Bulgarians and members of the
Macedonian Committee acting under govern
ment tolerance, If not approval, now seems to
be abundantly verified. There Is no question
that the Macedonian Committee Is villanous
organization, and that the government Of Prince
Ferdinand has in most reprehensible manner
failed to check to discourage it's pernicious
activities. There is possibility that the pres
ent outrage may react against that government
with serious results. If so, the government will
find few sympathizers.
The interest of Russia in the case Is hinted
at in the report that the Russian Government
has been asked TO exert its good Offices in Miss
Stones behalf. That would seem TO mean that
Russia has special relations either with the
brigands or with the government which has
tolerated them. 1t has long been suspected that
the Macedonian Committee has it's real head
quarters at st. Petersburg or Moscow, and that
it is being worked in the interest OF Russia to
secure Macedonia for Russia and thus to block

THE WAYS OF THE TROLLEYS.

The annual reports OF trolley roads show that
they are compelled TO pay out large sums In
suits following deaths or injuries caused by the
cars Jures as rule extremely liberal In
their verdicts in favor OF the plaintiffs in such
proceedings. IL cannot be doubted that eXces-
sive awards are made frequently. and that some
lawyers resort 10 cunning and INSCRIPTIONS de
vices to encourage the bringing OF such suits
even when there is little justification for the
claims. But the companies should bear in
mind that they have aroused great deal OF
hostility by their disregard of enlightened pub
lie sentiment and by the lack of consideration
toward their passengers which they often dis
play. Until they mend their ways enforce
better discipline among their employees. pay
more Difference to public and private rights
and are less grasping and rapacious in their
schemes, they must expect that jurors will
bring In big verdicts against them.

unwhOlesome notorietv, has obtained from the
Municipal Council permission 70 run its cars
over the Central Bridge. formerly called Ma
combs Dam Bridge. That grant Ought not 10

sented the serious objections to the sche.ne

Too many trolley companies are always trying
TO grab everything which they can lay hold of
The finest avenues the nOblest bOulevards, the
most attractive drives the most crowded streets
and the cOstliest bridges are too often looked
upon by trolley managers with covetous eyes
and In cases not a few these managers have
resorted TO highly reprehenslble methods In
seeking to induce ofticeholders and legislative
bodies to surrender TO them public property
upon which they had no legitimate claim.
Some OF these trolley companies would in

They have ruined a considerable number or
roadways I'm and about New-York which a few
years ago afforded delightful opportunities for

are almost never required to buy the right of

roads usually are? The trolleys get undue
favors and privileges, which are rarely IL ever
conceded to steam railways of the highest i'm
portance and the best reputation for valuable
public service. The "Huckleberry" and Met

the vicinity OF Central Bridge by a bridge of

and the erection of any more Of these un-
slightly structures is in the highest degree un-
desirable.
This last remark is peculiarly applicable to
the plan for an extension down Park Row. To
the magnificent properties along that route an
elevated road would be appallingly detrimental.
Moreover. ii would aggravate the already over
crowded condition of Park Row. And, finally,
its construction across Broadway would appar-
emily be in direct violation of statute OF the
