considering the degree of development that
island has attained. But that Ecuador, one of
the smaller and supposedly less progressive
countries, should stand fifth, with more than
twice as many awards as Argentina, Is sur
prisng. Nicaragua stands sixth and Porto Rico
seventh, while Peru, in the eighth place, is far
behind them. The status OF Canada and Argen-
tina has already been mentioned. They are
followed in order by Costa Rica, Honduras,
Dominica, the French colonies, Salvador, Bo-
lva. Jamaica and Guatemala, with Hayti and
Brazil anonymously bringing up the rear.
Regret at the poor showing made by some of
the larger States is, however more than coun-
terbalanced by qualification at the good show
Ing which the smaller ones have been able to
make. Honduras taking eleven gold medals:
Ecuador, taking twenty-five and Nicaragua,
eleven, command assured respect for their
resources and achievements. On the whole. the
showing made at Buffalo indicates material
progress among the American States, and more
and more completely repudiates the notion that
they are ever TO be regarded as uncvilized
wildernesses which other nations are free to
rush into and occupy at will.

A GOOD POINT.

In his Brooklyn Academy of Music speech
Mr.. Shepard found fault with the fusion ticket
and the selection of Democratic representatives
upon 1t, and suggested TO Republicans that:
II they are to be called upon TO vote for Demo-
Gratis may IT not be we'll for them to deter
mine for themselves who are the Democrats for
whom they shall vote, who the Democrats
that are commended to them by their character
or public service?
There may be something IN that. 1t might
be well for Republicans and Democrats also to
determine for themselves who are the Demo-
Gratis for whom they wish 10 vote and who nre
commended 10 them by their character and
public service. Following Mr. Shepard's ad-
vice they might find great joy in turning from
candidates whom he charges represent no de-
sire to improve political conditions to Fromme
the champion beefsteak gOrger and adviser of
the gambling combine; Unger the candidate
or Frank Farrell and the criminal police Off
Gals for public prosecutor; Van Wyck. the
sponsor and protector OF Devery. and Oakley,
the Avenue a salOOnkeeper. Yes! surely, citi-
Zens ought TO determine who are the Demo
Gratis for their suffrage, and not have the
matter settled for them by Croker, the lord of
Vantage and Tim" Sullivan, the lord OF the
Red Light District"

A PROBLEM IN TROLLEY BUILDJyG

4 problem of considerable interest to builders
of suburban trolley roads and to people who
live along the lines of them, or rather along
lines on which ii Is proposed TO build them is
afforded just now in the northern part of West
chester County and the adjoining regions of
Connecticut
trolley road is being built between the little
station Of Goldens Bridge, on the New-YOrk
and Harlem Railroad, in Westchester COUNTY
and the city of Danbury, in Connecticut. The
distance is probably fifteen or sixteen miles
The country is sparsely populated and offers
little promise OF way traffic while for through
traffic between the terminals there is already
steam railroad competition by way of Brew
ster. On the whole, the outlook is not for n
rich monopoly and for plethOric profits and
the circumstances are therefore such as wouId
naturally call for construction of the road In
the most inexpensive way. According TO ex
amples nearer home, we should have expected
the road TO be built along existing wagon roads
which run directly from Goldens Bridge m
Danbury. Such however, is not the case The
trolley line runs at least for practically all that
part of ii now under construction, through nri
vatc property over which the right of wav has
been acquired by the promoters. 1t parallels
the wagon roads. and keeps so close to tbem
as to be perfectly accessible from them. Hut II
does not trespass upon them, save at certain
necessary crossings. Apparently the promoters
OF II think themselves able TO pay their wav for
a railroad upon which the public will be obliged
TO pay its way.
Had this road been built further south IN
Westchester County, where population is more
crowded and prospects Of profit are correspond.
ingly better. its promoters would doubtless have
waited until the taxpayers had graded and
macadamized the public highways along the
line for the purpose of horse and wagon traffic

DRUNKENNESS IN CITIES

Before the Society for the Study of Inebriety
in London few days ago an English physician
took the view that because the reported ar
rests for drunkenness In year in London Chi
cagO and New-Iork were respectively seven.
thirteen and twenty-three n thousand, there
fore there was much more intOxication In Chi
cagO, in proportion TO population, than in Lon
don. and much more in New-York than in either
of the other two cities. This is a preposterous
inference. and II is amazing that medical man
supposed to be intelligent should draw such a
conclusion.
In some cities the police are extremely lax
in making arrests for drunkenness when the
drunkards are not guilty of serious breaches of
the peace. In other cities they are rigorous and
energetic in making such arrests. The sugges-
tion that New-York is almost twice ms bad as
Chicago in alcoholic excesses and more than
three times as bad as London is too absurd to
merit discussion.
New-York tribune., 1901-10-14
THE NEEDS OF COMMERCE

An impressive view OF some OF the conditions
pf commerce in this city may now be had by
any observant visitor The steamship piers
and streets are crowded and overcrowded with
merchandise awaiting transportation. No one
can contemplate the showing made without a
thrill OF pride at the greatness Of New York
and the extent and wealth of its commerce.
Tyre and SidOn OF old Were mighty in trade
but they were as pygmies contrasted with this
commercial Colossus of the Western World
] To the penetrating and reflective mind how
eyer, this exposition OF metropolitan traffic con-
,Feys q warning as well as a cause for exulta-
aion. IL indicates and emphasizes the fact that
e grievous state of crowdng and OF congestion
prevails in the present commercial quarter OF
she city. There is not dock room for all the
ships. There is not pier and warehouse room
ror all the goods There is not street room for
Ili the truckage. These facts are realized by
merchants. They are observed by all who fire.
uuent the commercial district. The waterfronts
Rnd the streets adjacent thereto are not ade-
puate in extent TO the demands OF commerce.
And these demands are increasing while the
Rccommodations are stationary.
The result OF this congested condition is per4
efectly patent. When channel is too small for
"a stream of water the water overfiows into
rpther channels. Commerce follows the same
trule II seeks the lines OF least resistance and
when congestion causes too much resistance at
pne point IL seeks relief at some other outlet
To-day the talk Of the commercial world is
chiefly about such other outlets. Some traffic
As being diverted TO Montreal. some to Port
1and, some TO Boston, some 10 Newport News
and some 20 other places There is renewed
talk OF creating great new port at the eastern
extremity OF Long Island, which would make
INew-York way station between the coast and
the interior. And so In these and other WAYS
the stream OF commerce overfows from its old
Rnd true channel
Far better would II be for New-York IL atten-
tston were turned TO enlargement of the exist
Ing channel and 10 the relief OF congestion by
extending the terminal facilities of this port.
II would not be difficult 10 do So unless the
exercise Of enterprise and energy is difficult 90

deep water frontage lying unimproved. In ad-
dition TO the not sufficiently commodious sea

of its ocean traffic is now forced Il has an
other more commodious sea gate at the north

and then would have seized them, If necessary
by fraud or force. and would have appropriated
them TO their own use without recompense to
the public whose property they had thus
grabbed for their private gain. and TO the an
noyanee and danger, IL not actual expulsion, OF
the legitimate traffic for which the highways
were designed by those who paid for them.
The problem is TO find the-well, those who
are not wise Are they those who are building
the Golden's Bridge and Danbury trolley line
and are refrainng from stealing public property
in doing so? Or are they those elsewhere who
permit other trolley road builders to grab pub
lie property at will without so much as thanks?

a copy of the United States statutes at
large would have proved n useful friend TO the
statesmen who drew the platform for the
Massachusetts Democratic State Convention
which met in Boston a week or more ago. In
defining the Democratic party's position on the
shipping and ship subsidy issues, those sapIent
and Oracular moulders of Massachusetts opin-
ion declared:
We urge among other things the admission
into this country free Of duty OF all articles en-
terlng into the construction and repair OF shIps
lnaSnuCh as we are exporting for use by shin
builders in other countries pig iron steel bIiiets
and steel plates, fail TO see the Justice or
wisdom OF further continuing the duties upon
those products.
Now, Congress began in 1872 exempting from
duty shipbulding materials for all ships en-
gagged In ocean trade. The Mckinley tariff of
1890 pushed the exemption theory still further
and what remained to be done 10 establish a
complete system of drawbacks was done by the
Wilson and Dingley tariff acts. A proposition
upon which two such distinguished leaders OF
dametrically opposite views as William T..
Wilson and Nelson Dingley could agree would
seem reasonably safe from future criticism. 1t
is perhaps well TO know that the Hon. Josiah
Quincy. the Hon. Charles s. Hamlin and the
Hon. John r. Fitzgerald Will not rest until
they have secured a reform which was law
before they cast their first votes II Is the

needs explanation. Does It mean free ships.
or export bounties, discriminative duties, or
subsidies? On this subject Mr.. Hamlin, who
as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury en-
forced the Wilson tariff he has forgotten or
never knew. Mr.. Fitzgerald. who voted for
il. evidently with misunderstanding, may throw
some light
