AS TO A FOREIGN FLAG.

The fuss over that Hungarian flag is amaz-
ing So far as we are able TO perceive II is
quite groundless. The case is simple and IN
offensive. The members Of patriotic society
In Hungary marked this year of kossuths cen
tenary by sending Magyar flag to tnelr COLL

Government had nothing TO DO Win IL 1ue

II is. we repeat, amazing that there should be
such fuss over foreign flag in America ana

almost as common and familiar as our own

often largely to the exclusion or suppression or

the displaying of foreign flags. NO Foreign nag

should any be flown upon our pubhc DulloIngs

the Stars and Stripes flown on Windsor Castle.
Certainly no foreign flag should ever be used in
this country for partisan or political purposes
That an alien flag or any alien emblem or
cause should be made an issue and factor In
American politics Is intolerable Generally
speaking. 1t would doubtless be best for our
nafnralized citizens to lay aside the old flag
with their old allegiance. But if as bit OF
pure sentiment they want to cherish the old

no harm in it. They will be no less loyal Amer

TIE SUPPRESSION OF TYPHOID.

II is foolish to talk OF epidemic Of typhoid
fever in New-York. There is no such thing,
or anything like 1t. We may go beyond that
and say that such thing is practically i'm
possible It Is true that typhoid fever exists
here It always does especially at this time Of
year, in all large cities. 1t probably prevails
still more. proportionately to the population. IN
towns and villages and rural regions. There
seems to be more of 1t in New-York this year
than usual, but to the vast majority of people
In this city the disease will continue to be as IN
familiar as Asatic cholera or bubonic plague.
The practical mpossibility of anything like
a typhoid epidemic in New York-especaly IN
the Borough Of Manhattan--shculd be obvious
Even contagious diseases. like scarlet fever and
smallpox, are effectually held in check despite
the remotely occasional outbreaks of the latter
through what we can describe only as criminal
carelessness. Now typhoid fever is not con-
tagious. as these are, and while it is infectious
its sources and media of infection are few,
and are particularly well under official inspec-
ton and control In substantially all cases ty-
phoid fever is contracted through drinking con-
taminated water or milk. As for the former,
the water supply Of Manhattan is above re-
proach or suspicion at the fountain head.
There is 10 contamination and no serious
Dam; and even in the present torn up
condition OF this island 1t ought not to
be difficult TO safeguard 1t against pollution
at this end Of the aqueduct. There re-
mains the milk supply II is probably at fault
in the majority Of cases of typhoid. But II ply
sicians and Health Board inspectors do their
duty It should be possible pretty promptly to
fix the responsibility and detect the diaries
from which the conta minated milk proceeded
Ever since Eherth's discovery Of the bac-
terial nature Of typhoid, more than a score Of
years ago, this disease has been under the
great law enunciated by Pasteur and through
the enforcement Of that law should ere this
have been practically exttrpated from all civil
lied lands. That 1t still exists TO a considerable
extent IS proof that that law has not been en-
forced, and that is fact not creditabe TO en-
HShtened communities We could and we
should. in Pasteur's words. cause all bacterial
diseases to disappear from the world Ger
tainly we should thus deal with typhoid. which
is not only a enthusiastically bacterial dis
ease. but is also in q peculiar sense filth dis
ease. Every case of It that occurs is a reproacb

DE1TC4rIES FOR THE TABLE.

A kfndhearted society for the prevention OF
rr11eItv to animals in a far Western Territory
Is disturbed because Indian tribes at one of
their celebrations intend TO have dog feast,
and to throw the fattened puppies into boiling
water without first killing them. 1t is right and
proper to prevent such barbarity. But what are
we to say about the common habit Of swallow
ing oysters and clans from the half shell and
boiling or broiling Holsters without first putting
them under the influence of anesthetics? The
Indians who treat dogs without mercy are
wicked heather, no doubt. But have oysters
and clans and Holsters no sense Of pain? Is 1t
certain that shellfish other kinds of fish do
not suffer under the heartless treatment which
they undergo in hotels and restaurants and
private households?
This is an interesting subject for unbiased
scientific research What is the relative posi-
bility Of misery between a frisky young puppy
stuffed with rich food to furnish forth Sho-
shone holiday and an Alsatian goose crammed
with porridge and hasty pudding before a hot
fire in order that his diseased and swollen liver
may become dainty dish for the gourmet in
pate de foie gras? And who shall make the dis
tinction between the Arapahoe epicure and the
Manhattan eater of broiled live lobster?

COMING AROUND.

Mr.. Cantor has seen light A week ago he
was still insisting that he would ne'er consent
TO the Pennsylvania tunnel franchise without
his net labor clause. He has now discovered
that while he still desires the inclusion Of that

mined as anybody that the franchise shall be
granted, and, having obtained the most salts
factory terms possible al the conference next
week, he will diligently promote the granting
of the franchis-- which. he agrees. is Of the
greatest importance to the city.
Mr. Cantor says he never wished to block the
ENTERPRISE. and we believe him. Feeling sure
that he did not. we proposed the other day a
general agreement TO consider Mr.. Cantor a
true and tried friend of labor" SO that he
might be relieved OF the necessity Of holding
I'D the grant by further demands for a labor
clause which. II was evident. would not and
could not Be accepted. anu so be free to follow
his natural impulses 10 promote city improve
ments We rejoice 10 see that Mr.. Cantor is
convinced that his reputation is safely made.
and that political exigency 10 longer requires
him to assume an irreconcilable attitude His
coming around doubtless presages similar con-
ciliatory spirit among the Aldermen. who. in
epire Of all notifications of the original nrono-
sition to meet their views. have shown dis
position TO refuse permission for the work 1t
Is fair TO say that the reconsideration Of plans
which followed their original Withholding of
the franchise has had beneficial results bur the
railroad company has evidently gone as far as
IT viii go and as far as il can reasonably be
asked 10 go II the matter of concessions. II has
agreed to every demand seriously made upon II
in behalf of the city and merely draws the line al
agreements for the benefit OF private interests
which those who demand them have at heart or
think il polite TO seem to have at heart they
nav content themselves with the thought that
they have done al that they could for labor In
the direction of special covenants. and that they
are serving labor more efficiently, though in a
different way. by promoting this great work
which will give employment TO many hands
and greatly increase the area of comfortable
homes available to the wage earners of this
city.
There is not the slightest doub. that the peo-
- OF the city as q whole want the tunnel.

CHECKS ON EXCESSIVE SPEED.

Referring TO the running of automobile We
hicles at dangerously high rates of speed, an
esteemed correspondent at Manlius. y. Y. in
quires:
Would 1t not be lawful to exclude from the
public highways any automobile able Of
making more than the lawful speed? Any ma
chine geared to go at the rate of more than
twenty miles an hour. it may be argued is pu1It
to make that speed. II 1t would De unconstl ~
tionaI to prohibit these machines from using the
roads, why could they not be taxed IN proper
ton 10 their speed abilities?
If would not be lawful to exclude machine
from the highways on account of its speed po-
tentiality so long as il did not exercise its
power beyond the prescribed limit. There are
thousands Of horses capable of trOtting much
faster than the law permits on public highways,
but they are not and cannot be for that reason
excluded from the roads. The law takes ac-
count not of what man or horse or machine is
able TO do but of what he or il actually does.
There are some exceptions TO this rule, but
none that could be made TO apply to automo-
hes. as our correspondent suggests
The second question concerning taxation for
speed raises q more practical point, and one
worthy Of consideration Nevertheless. that
proposal is open to the grave objection that
such tax might be regarded as a license fee,
empowering those who pay 1t to make the
speed for which they are taxed That would. Of
course. be intolerable The true remedy for IN
lawful speeding, believe, Is to be found
in an increase Of the legal penalty and a vigi-
liant and remorseless enforcement Of the law.
