UNCLE SAM AND THE METROPOLIS.

At a meeting of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion day or two ago some further information
was presented concerning the commissions ef-
fort to secure permanent right of way for the
underground road through the space now occIl-
pied by vaults near the POstotfice which are the
property of the federal government. 1t appears
that Secretary Gage not long before his retire
ment decided that he could not make the desired
grant, though he expressed the opinion that the
government would never revoke the temporary
grant already obtained. But that personal be-
lief does not satisfy the requirements of the
situation A fully guaranteed right in per-
petuity is deemed essential and the commits
sion's counsel advise that an appeal be made to
Congress at the coming session,
While the matter was under consideration the
other day President Orr impaired new flavor
TO the proceedings by Femarking, more in grief
than anger, that it was unreasonable in the
United States TO refuse TO give up something il
had never known it owned until informed of
the fact by the commission. whose engineers
would seem TO have made the interesting dis
covery in the course of their explorations. AS
suming that he is right we must say that we
are inclined to agree with Mr., Orr, The federal
government, having caught the city of New
York in generous mood, took advantage of its
woful lack OF foresight and obtained gratis the
lower end of the City Hall Park, on which IL
proceeded TO plant building of appalling ugli-
ness, thereby contracting a moral obligation TO
treat its henefactoT with peculiar consideration
in all subsequent negotiations. Is that claim

ALL SOLDIERS.

The report of the executive committee Of the
Interstate National Guard Association, just
published, is accompanied by an article on "Our
Second Line OF Defence" by General Charles
Dick, of Ohio, president OF the association. He
says:
The only way 20 bring our National Guard up
20 high state of efficiency is 20 pass a federal
law which will make them in fact as well as in
name national guard. and which viii insure
their uniform equipment and drill, They should
be armed and equipped just the regular army
is armed and equipped, and they should have
the same discipline and instruction, far as
possible in the limited time that can be given
for that purpose. State troops should go to
camp under conditions as nearly possible ap-
pToXimating those OF actual war State troops
and regular troops should be camped together
so that the former may have the benefit OF the
experience and skill OF the latter.
Only few years ago a proposition to bring
regulars" and National Guardsmen together in
camp service would have been met with violent
opposition on the part of the regular establish
ment. The State troops were looked upon as
holiday soldiers, and the officers of that branch
of the service as unworthy OF their shoulder
straps On the other hand. the guardsman did
not appreciate the worth OF his comrade of the
United States Army, and thought the profess
sonal soldier just a trife lower in the social
scale than he.
But the men have become better acquainted
They have been camp mates, and have learned
that patriotism, devotion to duty and discipline
are qualities on which no class OF Americans
has a patent. and that it required no great ef-
fort to wipe out the imaginary barriers which
owed their existence to prejudice. In the days
when no two regiments in the National Guard
wore the same uniform. when waving plumes
gold lace and many colOrs were the character
istics of a militia parade, it was difficult to i'm
agine the citizen sOldiery a reserve force. But
the fancy costumes have had their day. The
regiments with few exceptions, are clothed like
the regular troops, and the National Guardsman
is easily mistaken for regular" when on duty.
and is usually proud of the fact.
The recommendations contained in General
Dicks article, If carried out, may have a ten,
dency TO destroy some of the social or club
features of the National Guard, but they will
make the $4,000 men who compose that body
In the States and Territories better soldiers
They will bring about spirit of harmony he
tween the citizen and the professional soldier
and will go far toward making the National
Guard an effective second line of defence.

THE GoVERNOR'S ADVICE.

Governor OdelIs timely warning to the Re
publican organization in New-York City cannot
fail to have a profound influence. The Gov
ernor has been a practical pOlitician-even a
machine politician-himself and when he tells
party workers TO quit their sQuabbles over
patronage and to devote themselves to concil-
Eating independent sentiment they cannot dis
miss his advice as Impractical and sentimental
nonsense. Mr.. odeIl is just as sturdy a party
man and just as clearheaded a political man.
sger as any OF the leaders in this city, who
insist on blaming everybody but themselves II
the voters do not support them. He has a large
amount Of common sense which they seem TO
lack, and realizes that il is the business Of a
party organization 70 win voters, not the bust
ness of voters 20 support party organization.
The organization exists as means, not as an
end, and not as a means of supporting its lead
ers and their favOrites. This is not the view
commonly held here. II a district leader in
this city finds that he is an offence to indie
pendent citizens, and that his management is
alternating voters from the Republican ticket, he
does not take himself off that the voters may
be conciliated and the Republican strength in
creased. Instead he rallies his particular fol-
lowers, carries the primaries, triumphantly
points out that his critics have no strength in
the organization but are mostly independents
anyway, and then wonders why all those indie
pendents who hold the balance of power on
Election Day vote some other ticket. The or
ganiZation here too often seems 10 think IL a
virtue 10 haunt independent sentiment. TO put
forward as the type and symbol OF honored
Republicanism men who are discredited and
distrusted. Successful leadership does not con-
sist in winning primaries. but in commencing

control OF the organization in 1897 TO carry the
primaries and commit IL 70 the third ticket

ltical leadership was ever recorded We sun-

of business by some politicians who are volubla

suits OF election TO get the organization once
more back 10 that position. We do not believe
that they can do il. The organization would NOT
again dare 10 incur the odium OF directly work

Three town marshals in the lively little set
tlement of Orange, Tex, have been killed in
street fights in quick succession. If appeals
should be sent northward for the prompt in
vestment of conservative capital In that region
of the Lone Star State, and for the opening of
new homes by settlers from the communities
above the historic line of Mason and Dixon, it
is barely possible that the response might not
be enthusiastic. There is nothing dull in daily
experience in that corner of Texas! But per-
chance the town graveyard may be a little over
crowded by this time.
New-York tribune., 1902-11-15

Official statistics show that the number OF
passengers and of employees on railroad lines
who are killed or injured is much larger in
proportion to population in the United States
than in Great Britain. Can it be disputed. then.
that these comparative figures indicate more
carelessness in the cars and on the tracks in
this country than among our kin over sea? How
will it be practicable TO secure greater care in
the various States of this Union?
