A MOVABLE SIDEWALK,
Provided with Seats, Proposed for
Brooklyn Bridge.


Greater New York is now trying TO
solve the question Of relieving the great
crush of people ut the terminals of the
Brooklyn bridge during what are called
the rush hours, which are in the morning.
at noon and in the evening Among the
plans proposed is one by Bridge Commits
sioner Lindenthal. advocating the intro-
duction Of a movable platform. or side-
walk, similar in design to that operated
at the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Mr. Lindenthal proposes that the main
platform move az speed OF ten miles
an hour and be approached by series Dc
three moving platforms. the first going az
the rate of two and One-half miles an
honr; the second FIVE miles. and the third
seven and one-half miles. The PLATFORM
is to form hops AZ the ends Of the bridge,
and 70 therefore move continuously in n
circle. The platforms aifording The
means Of approach viii only be AZ the
loops. but they viii he long enough to
afford people ample time - reach and to
leave the main conveying agency which
will be fitted with seats. At Chicago the
average time allowed FOR getting on or
OF a platform was only three seconds
while Mr.. Lindenthars calculations all
low fifteen seconds.
The great objection TO the commission
er's plan is the large expense involved.
Tt is estimated that the undertaking
would cost far up into the millions. aud

Dir. Babcock Is Inconsistent.

Mr.. Babeock is opposing relief for the
Cubans through reduction OF duties
If he intends to stand before the public

the reason that they are oppressive and
ought not to be permitted to exist he
must square himself TO his preaching
by helping the Cubans from like sit
uation, especially as it can be done
without sacrificing any material home
interest. If his position and utterances
are sincere and his arguments good he
must abide the logical results. He
must not finch when confronted with
new or other propositions which are
governed by the same principles. His
position means tariff reform or It means
nothing. Milwaukee Journal.

Legislation. Not treaty, Needed.

Legislation, Not Treaty, Needed.
One of the excuses for the do-nothing
policy with respect to Cgba which was
offered at the meeting of the House
Republican caucus Thursday night
was that there was no hurry about tax
ing action and that the matter could
wait until the next session of Con-
gress. because Cuba would not be in
a position to make reciprocity treaty
for months to come
1t is hardly possible to conceive Of Il
more wretehed excuse. 1t makes no
sort of difference how long it may be
before Cuba will be In position to ne
gotiate treaties 1t may be three months
or three years; no matter. 1t Is not
a treaty that is wanted Ut all. What
is needed is n reduction of the duties
on Cuban products coming into the
United States and a reduction on arti-
cles entering Cuba from the United
articles from countries other than the
United States.
All this can be arranged by legisla-
ton very quickly without waiting a
day for the organization of the indie
pendent Cuban government. And this
is altogether the better way. because
it involves no meddling by the treaty
making organs of the government with
the revenue prerogative of the House.
No difficulty can arise out of the fact
that there is no Cuban congress yet 10
lcgislate. The military government Of
occupation can take the necessary ac-
ton Congress on its part can declare
that the concessions by the United
States shall cease unless tne reclpto-
cal concessions on the part of Cuba
are confirmed within certain time at
ter the formal establishment OF the in
dependent Cuban government 1t is al
simple and easy enough
All that is wanting is the VIII on the
part of the protected interests which
are in the saddle in Washington in or
der to the fultillment of the obligations
into which this country entered of its
own choice and motion when it impos-
ed the Plat conditions upon Cuba. :
