GoFERN0R AND ALDERMEN.

II seems wholly unnecessary and rather ab-
surd to attempt to make mystery of Governor
odelI's recent remarks on the Pennsylvania
tunnel franchise and read into them deep and
sinister meaning. The suggestion had been
made that if the aldermen persisted in their
opposition TO the franchise. in disregard of rea-
son and public opinion. the legislature should
he influenced to take the affair into its own
hands and grant the franchise outright, thus
sunullins the requirement Of municipal consent
that is, ffe consent OF the Mayor and alder
rnen-to every such concession 1t had also
heen proposed that il the aldermen continued
obstinate the legislature should deprive them Of
rhe authority which they now possess over
matters Of this sort and vest it in the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment- These propo-
sltions are fundamentally dissimilar With ref
erence TO the former the Governor said that he
had no doubt it contemplated an unconstitu-
tional method Of accomplishing the desired OBJ
5ect. and We have not noticed any serious effort
ia show that he is mistaken. But persons who
seem ANXIOUS TO find fault with him are en-
desvering TO make it appear that though his
conclusion may be correct he ought to have con-
cealed il, and would have done so if he had not
himself been opposed 10 the tunnel scheme. AS
for the alternative suggestion, that the author
ity now belonging 10 the aldermen should be
transferred 10 the Board Of Estimate, the Gov
ernor merely declared that TO be very differ
ent question, and said he did not care 10 discuss
il, his feeling probably being that it a
question for the legislature TO consider rather
than for the Governor to decide. So far as we
have observed, nobody has expressly challenged
fhe soundness and propriety of his Judgment
os this point either. but, again, the insinnation
is that he has adopted strange and unfriendIy
attitude
IL the Governors suspicious critics have any
better evidence of hostility On his part to the
Pennsylvania enterprise than his brief public
utterance on the subject they will do well to
produce it, for at present their contention has
nothing to support it outside of their own i'm
aginatcps- As the case stands, the verdict
must be that the Governor was properly frank
in respect to one OF the proposals brought to his
attention. and properly reticent in respect t.
the other. Moreover, the complaint that tn.
eject OF what be said has been bad seems to b.
equally unfounded week ago it looked yer,
much as II an adverse report would be made b,
the shermanic railroad committee and adoptes
by the board Yesterday the committee re
ported favorabiy, and the recent confident pre-
dfcuons of sure and large majority In th
board against the grant have been withdrawn

Mr.. CIRCUIT AND THE BUCKLEBERRT.

After careful comparison Of Controller
Grouts letter on the Central Bridge franchise,
published yesterday, and The Iribunes edi-
torial article of the day before we fail to see
the 'misstatements'' which he wrote to cor
rect" He says Mr.. McLean's report, which he
now disolains, was made last year not this
The Tribune said nothing to the contrary, but
pointed out that it was submitted to the Board
of Estimate last July by Mr.. Grout. he him
self admits. but he says that he did not commit
himself TO this report, which was based on in
structions from his predecessor. Turning back
to the files find in the issue of July 10, 1902,
the day after the presentation of the report by
Controller Grout. the following in the account
of the transaction:
Controller Grout said yesterday to Tribune
reporter that while the recommendation of his
engineer were made TO fit a prospective case the
figures would probably stand. and any company
that occupied the city's bridges for its trolley
tracks hereafter probably would have to pay on
about the basis suggested by his engineer.
Controller Grout did not at the time dispute
the accuracy of this statement of his views
and it exactly expresses the views for which
we are contending at the present time We do
not say that Mr.. McLean's figures should be
slavishly followed, but that payment should
be made on the basis Mr. Mclean suggested
which was, as Mr.. Grout comedies, the cost
TO the company of providing its own bridge
facilities Mr.. Grout now thinks the Huckle-
berry Railroad cannot afford to meet terms so
theoretically correct" That is their affair. We
are only holding them to their own word They
said they wanted a bridge and were willing to
build it, but were prevented by the War De-
partment Therefore they wanted to use the
eity's bridge, not to money or because
they could not afford the charge OF S4S,OO0 but
because they could not otherwise accommodate
the people of The Bronx, for whom they would
gladly spend that sum each year if they could
only secure a crossing. 1t is no time now for
| them TO plead poverty and lament the wrong
which win be done to their patrons by charging
what the franchise is worth. II they want to
| confess that they Were playing bunco game

of their disappointed patrons.
Mr. Grout saws: Il think that The Tribune
will not have occasion for serious difference
with us when the terms Of the franchise are
announced next Friday" We could tell more
about that if we knew what those terms were.
If Mr.. Grout would announce them now, ana
give a chance for their adequacy to be welgheo
before they are adopted, the public interest
would be served. Mr.. Grout ought to nave
learned something from his mentor, William j.

brooms with which to sweep the ice CLASSY
again.
Are these and other like things mere trl1es
and ..bits of thoughtless childish fun! Ii IS
NOT trife nor bit of fun for one to slip upon
an icy pavement and break some bones IL is
not trife for people to be compelled to wade
through snow and slush, and to pick their way
fearfully over perilous ice. Above all, it is not
a trffie for people to neglect disregard and
habitually violate a salutary and necessary
law. and for the rising generation to be brought
up so to do. We may call such things tribes
all we please, but they are the things when
most directly affect the largest number OF the
people If they were imposed upon us by some
arbitrary power, called king or emperor, we
should probably revolt openly and forcibly
against them But as they are self-inficted we
endura them-to our own disqualification.
New-York tribune., 1902-12-09
THE LITTLE WOES OF WINTER.

The saying Of the old hymn writer that Each
..season hath its own disease, it's peril every
hour comes strongly to mind in connection
with the popular disregard for law which forms
so striking a feature Of American life and to
which may be attributed so large proportion
Of the petty ills and annoyances which in their
sum are really more oppressive than the major
but fewer ''high crimes and misdemeanors. In
each season of the year the lawlessnesS OF the
American character finds its own peculiar
methods of manifestation, the one common and
invariable trait being the selfish disregard Of
law save as it may contribute to personal and
momentary enjoyment.
The little squall of snow and ice which struck
this city on Friday was very far from being
blizzard or even a heavy winter storm. Yet it
gave sufficient opportunity for the display Of
the kinds of popular lawlessness which are pc
cuiar to the winter season. Shallow as was
the fall Of snow and sleet, it made walking un-
pleasant and even dangerous unless the side
paths were cleared. But as usual considerable
proportion of householders, and nearly all the
propretors of unoccuped houses and vacant
lots in pachydermatous disregard for the well
fare of the public and in utter contempt of the
law let their sidewalks remain uncleared. and
will let them remain until the weather clears
them. 1t is detestable thing to have the side
walk IN 'front.' or every fourth or NTH lot covered
with snow or ice slusb. But, of course, if
one made a fuss about it he would set himself
disliked. 1t is an unneghborly thing, you
know TO insist upon compliance with the law or
TO protest against the lawless practices Of the
people.
Then, there is the matter of coasting and slid
ing. All over the city on Friday and Saturday
there were innumerable children, and many
who were almost adults, actively engaged in
transforming sidewalks into rinks and tobog-
gan slides. This was easy where the sidewalks
We're left uncleared In many places where
sidewalks We're carefully cleaned snow was
thrown back upon them from the roadway in Or
der to facilitate sliding and shedding. Such things
done every winter, and it is uncommon
thing for water to be carried out and poured
upon the pavement to make it ICY and for the
sawdust or sand which may be scattered upon
icy walks for safety's sake to be swept off, so
that coasting and sliding parties may have their
fun unimpaired. True. such things are gem
! orally done by children. But children should be
taught by their parents to respect the law. Ger
tainly the parents should not encourage them In
lawlessness by giving them pals In which to
carry water to pour upon the payements, and
