TO STOP 4 RANK ABUSE.

The ordinance recently passed by the aluei-
men and now in the hands of the Mayor, WHICH
is intended to prevent the turning of passengers
out of streetcar at the whim of the company
seems to be seriously misunderstood IN some
quarters Section 2 provides that this OF
"dinance shall not be deemed to affect, prohloit
-or apply to transfers to any other line OF
LEASED line going in another direction, nor III
tease of accident" Hence, it does not inter-
fere in the slightest degree with the genera
transfer system or threaten passengers with any
inconvenience whatsoever. Moreover, Section
/. fairly interpreted, does not forbid the trans
nortation companies to run some of their cars
to other than terminal points-only so Tar
as Rowling Green for example-provided they
display signs clearly showing where such cars
are to stop. slight amendment making that
reservation clearer might have been advisable
but we think it is hardly necessary.
The ordinance is meant to stop the abuse
which is perpetrated when passengers VINO
have been given to understand that certain
car is going to a certain point are compelled 10
take a car ahead OF behind, perhaps in bitter
weather or a drenching rain to suit the con-
yenience of the company. That is common
and fragrant offence, which ought to be forpih-
den under suitable penalties, and so far as we
can see, the aldermen have done good thlns.

THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

The present status of the scheme TO remodel
The county courthouse seems 10 be exceedingly
unsatisfactory in most If not all respects. The
plans which were made by the iustrious firm
OF Morgan & Slattery, have been referred by
the committee Of Supreme Court justices having
a general, underlined supervision of the matter
to the Board of Estimate ana Apportionment,
with an earnest recommendation that something
should be done as soon as possible But 1t is
understood that considerable doubt exists
among those who are directly concerned to
what it is desirable to do. 1t has been officially
announced that the municipal administration
is anxious to dispense with the services of Hor-
gan & Slattery On general grounds, and it is
intimated that In this instance there are par
ticularly strong reasons for turning them down.
The justices. that IS TO say, are not pleased
with the plans and are inclined to hope that
they VIII be rejected in order that new ones
may be submitted by other architects. Yet
they are so anxious TO have the work begun
promptly that they hesitate to urge course
which wouid lead 10 rather long delay and it
is probable that the Board of Estimate is sim
fairly embarrassed.
Nobody familiar with the facts disputes the
proposition that the county courthouse needs
a thorough overhauling. Judges, lawyers, suit
ors and witnesses have ample reason to COM
plain because Of the grave dangers and mani
fold dscomforts to which they are exposed
within its walls. 1t has been said without
much exaggeration, that It would tax the in
genuity O. experts to devise appliances more
perfectly adapted to disseminate disease than
those which have been provided to make the
building wholesome. At all events there is a
record against It OF much sickness and sew
eral deaths in recent years, and every con-
eideratdon Of good morals and good sense de-
mands that radical improvements should be un-
dertaken before the list OF victims grows longer
But yet II seems a great pity to authorize
scheme q reconstruction which would be re.
5ected ~ a matter Of course II the case were not
urgent, and especially in view Of the heavy ex-
pense involved.
When 1t was FIRST made known that the plans
called for an outlay Of about s. 600, 600, we said
that was an immense sum to use for the DUR
pose, and we have never seen an EXPLANATION
which came near proving the necessity for such
ac exDcncIturs. Fo- two millions a large building

UESTCHESTER WATER PURCHASE.

1t is gratifying to know that the Governor
has signed the bill authorizing the city of New
York to purchase the property OF the Newly ork
and Westchester Water Company. Such action
on the part of the city is demanded upon grounds
Of both theory and practice. We cannot recall
a more amazing spectacle in all the history Of
municipal administration than has been pre-
scented by the relations between the city and
that corporation. For the city has been unable
to supply to its citizens all the water they need
and for which they are taxed. and yet at the
same time IT has sold hundreds Of thousands OF
gallons daily to this private corporation for the
latter to make profit upon. Then that company
has thus purchased the city's water and then
sold it back to the city at an advance, so that
for public purposes the city had to buy back its
own goods!
1t is earnestly to be hoped that the proposed
purchase of this water plant will be followed at
the earliest practicable date by similar treat
ment of all other concerns engaged in the water
purveying business in this city. The only sound
practice is for the city itself to own and to
operate all its waterworks There is probably
not a city in the world in which the private
supply system has not been marked with abuses
and in which the municipal system did not
prove to be far better. London, England, as
we pointed out the other day, is the great
remaining example Of large city dependent
upon private water companies, and London has
long been notorious for the unsatisfactory char
acter of its supply. 1t is literally horrible
example of what every city is in danger Of
that leaves its water supply in private hands
and subject to the pressure Of private greed.

BULGARIA'S REPRO4CH.

If II be true as reported, that the Bulgarian
Government has at last determined to make an
end of the Macedonian Committee. we must
regard that news as the best that has come
from Sophia for many day. 1t would be too
much to assume that such a resolution has
been formed voluntarily But it is encouraging
to know that even under extreme pressure from
the outside the government of what fast
becoming known the Brigand State has been
constrained TO do the right thing. If Bulgaria
has long been a reproach to Europe the Mace
DOMAIN Committee has been a reproach to Bull
garia. The latter reproach may be removed,
though late, by such action as that now an
nounced, and thus the former may be at least
mitigated. Only the work of suppression must
be done thoroughly and earnestly, and it must
include both branches of the infamous COM
mittee.
For there two branches. or perhaps two
committees. When the notorious Sarafoff,
president of what was then the one committee
trial for the murder of a Rumanian
professor at Bucharest, a certain Colonel Zont-
chef got himself elected president in his place.
and has since been running" the committee
on a close understanding with Prince Ferdi-
nand with whose court he has intimate rela-
tons Sarafoff, however, did not accept his
own dismissal, but has continued to exercise
leadership over the militant part of the COM
mittee. 1t was his wing of the committee,
under the personal direction of his particular
friend Sandansky, that kidnapped Miss Stone
and blackmailed her friends into paying
ransom for her life. Brgandage, robbery,
blackmail and murder are the familiar methods
of Sarafoffs gang. 1t may be that Zontchefrs
faction is more respectable or less criminal but
upon that point certain scepticism is pardon
able. Complete abolition Of both organizations
will be necessary to free Bulgaria from the
proach of tolerated outlawry.
That there shall be such abolition is urgent,
for this villanous committee has got affairs into
a critical state. SarafOff has been planning a
general uprising in Macedonia for this spring
The ransom paid for Miss Stone was to help
purchase arms and ammunition. Here and
there Turks were to be robbed, assaulted and
murdered This would provoke retaliation upon
Macedonian Christians, whereupon the virtuous
committee could raise a terrible hullabaloo
about Turkish outrages upon Christians. All
Macedonia would be in revolt. Bulgaria would
intervene in behalf Of oppressed Christians, and
