TIE ADAMS CASE.

The Molineux case has at last been disposed
of 1t is now time to get back TO first principles
and take up the Adams case. Instead OF longer
investigating a supposed attempted murder Of
Cornish II is the duty Of the District Attorney
20 investigate the successful murder OF Mrs.
adams. No impartial official inquiry into the
motives which might have prompted the muir
der OF Mrs. Adams, no earnest following Of the
elews leading directly from the Adams house
hold. has ever been attempted. The Assistant
District Attorney who first had charge of the
case was the friend and legal adviser of Mrs.
Rogers and OF Cornish. the two persons directly
concerned in administering the poison to Mrs.
Adams. Their story OF accident and innocence
was accepted by him. and for nearly four years,
following bis lead. the District Attorneys office
has been walking in the direction 10 which
Cornish pointed-away from himself The re-
suit is absolute failure. District Attorney Je-
rome is not responsible for the misuse OF the
prosecutors Office before his time. He should
start afresh with this case, If necessary dis

the murder Of Mrs. Adams. At no time while
his case was pending did we ever say that
Molneux was innocent. We simply denounced
the illegal methods by which he and his family
were being prosecuted, and insisted that he
should have his legal rights. So now. when his
Innocence is established. we merely say that the
Law should be INDICATED and the evidence
pointing toward Cornish be sifted and passed
upon by proper judicial process. II is in

ELETATEp RAILROAD GINS.

Progress pays. That is in brief the lesson TO
be deduced from yesterdays yearly report of
the president Of the Manhattan Elevated Rail
way Company. There was a large increase in
the number Of passengers carried, and there
was a considerable decrease in the ratio OF
operating expenses There was thus material
increase in net profits. This happy state of az
fairs Mr.. Gould-doubtless cOrrectly-attributes
TO the adoption of electric traction. The latter
system has been in full use for only a few
weeks and on only one-half OF the lines. When
it is in use on all the lines the gain in profits
to the company will be much larger. So will
be the gain in safety, speed and comfort to
the travelling public.
In view of the gratifying showing made in the
report. the officers and stockholders of the ele-
waited roads may be inclined to wish this great
Improvement had been adopted much earlier, as
The Tribune often urged it should be. They
may also, let us hope, be moved TO consider
whether other improvements might not have
similarly profitable results. For example, it is
not at all unreasonable TO suppose that many
people are deferred from patrOnizing the ele-
waited road and are driven to other means of
transportation by the indecent and dangerous
crOwding at the City Hall station in the after
noon rush hours There is no exaggeratiOn in
saying that for an hour or two every day. the
very time at which most people want TO travel,
it is positively unsafe for any but robust and
athletic people to attempt to enter a train at
that station, or to leave IT either, unless it
happens 10 be an express. II that disgraceful
state of affairs were remedied, it easily
might be, we have no doubt the patronage of
the road would be increased to an extent that
would more than repay the cost OF making the
improvement.
There are other things that might be done
Ihefe might be more cars run, stations might
De MADE more commOdious and be kept cleaner
elevators or moving stairways might be erected
nj lofty stations. and various nuisances now toll
Grated or encouraged might be abolished. These
things would cost money. So did the introduc-

UNTIMELY PESSIMISM.

When stocks were breaking all high records
early in September. and transactions exceeded
million shares daily. the occasion warranted
words OF conservatism from high financial au-
thorities. but none were uttered. Yet on the
eve Of election when the market was dun and
sagging and conditions eminently favorable for
aggressive operations by the short interest, Mr.
Vanderp's address before the Wilmington
Chamber Of Commerce destroyed the confidence
Of the public and started a liquidation that has
caused heavy loss. From the high point OF
Sll621. the average OF the sixty most active
railway shares fell to $1O4 II, while Industrial
and traction issues averaged almost SO a share
lower. Coming from official of the leading
Wall Street bank, 1t was natural that much
weight should be given to statements which i'm
piled that contraction OF loans was desirable
In so far as the address emphasized the de-
STABILITY of prudence in speculation 1t must be
highly commended although the harm had al
ready been done. The most alarming financial
factor was not clearly presented however Syn
dictate operations have tied up almost 100000
900, including the shipping deal. the San Fran
cisco street railway consolidation and numerous
smaller operations. From local money market
point Of view. these the really disturbing ele-
ments, while in so far gold exports are con-
cerned. the associated banks hold much larger

over, when the immediate Wall Street situation
is ignored, 1t is possible to consider the exporta-
ton of little gold with equanimity I'm view of
the unprecedented supply of $6O7. 921, 341 in the
Treasury.
Conceding the disadvantage of an inverted
pyramid" in regard to the increase in banking
operations based on unchanged cash reserves. as
Mr.. Vanderlip aptly pictures the financial situa-
ton, it is not possible to accept his gloomy views
Of domestic and foreign trade. On the contrary
the outlook was never brighter. The contention
that the railways have diverted too much cant
tai from liquid to a fixed form is not sun
ported by the fact that much more freight is
offered than the roads can handle. It is now
well known that the country as whole wouId
be much better off If the transporting lines had
increased facilities far more than they have
done Furthermore, this very inadequacy of the
railways is directly responsible for part OF the
less favorable returns of foreign commerce. Iron
and steel would not be imported TO the extent
OF 100000 worth monthly If coke could be had
in abundance by domestic furnaces, but the

sPEEDWAYs. OLD AND NEW.

The Speedway is even more popular this au-
tumn than at any previous time, and that is
saying a great deal More fleet trotters and
PAGERS are driven by their owners over the
broad stretches on the west bank Of the Har-
lem than in any earlier year, and the gatherings
Of enthusiastic spectators always numerous
are steadily on the increase. The Speedway
cost New-York millions of dollars, but its con-
struction put an end to every plan to ruin Cen
trail Park by laying out a course along any
part of its borders.
To save the most admired park in New-YOrk
from the schemes of those who were inclined
TO despoil that precious possession was no
small thing in itself. But the Speedway has
taken its place as an exceedingly attractive
and enjoyable feature Of New-York life not as
yet completely paralleled in any other city
1t has been successful. however and so much
praised that other big towns which have OBJ
served it's popularity are making arrangements
for similar arenas Of their own. where the
swiftest harness horses may be driven for the
pleasure Of those who own them and for the
free entertainment Of multitudes that assemble
to see them.
The Speedway brings so many visitors to
New-York, II distributes so much money here
and 1t pleases so many people that the tax
payers do not now regard the millions expended
upon IL as unwlsely mlsapplied, especially
Central Park remains untouched. But the sug-
gestiOn Of a new and costly speedway solely for
automobiles which has been put forward in a
tentative manner. will encounter general OBJ
position. The American trOtter and PAGER have
hosts OF friends and admirers Automobiles
have yet TO earn their title to popularity If the
lovers Of automobiles desire trials OF the high
est speed which their machines can attain. they

York would rise in revolt against using public
money for the construction Of new speedway
for them.

TIE MIDLAND OCTOPEs.

Our London correspondent referred the other
day to the fight which is being made in Biz
mingham, England against the British Elec-
trio Traction Company and in favor Of munich
palization of the tramways of that city. The
case is an interesting one, especially as demon
strating that the trust octopus fiourishes in the
United Kingdom as we'll as in the United
States. Indeed, in the popular campaign against
the company in question there are daily refer
ences to the octopus" which is fastening its
tentacles" upon the electric industries of the
land.
The British company certainly does seem to
be pretty extensive affair. We doubt if the
term octopus does it full Justice Myriapod
would be far better 1t is a concern created
for the purpose of purchasing, leasing or other
wise acquiring control Of electric traction and
other companies. We have before us a list of
some sixty-five companies which it has thus
absorbed. Three of them are in Birmingham.
But they are not confined TO that city or even
to the A1idlands. They are scattered all over
the kingdom, in London. and Swansea. and
Stirling and Cork and Brighton, and Winder-
mere. and GraveSend, and Westward HO.
More than that they are in remote portions of
the British dOminions over sea, such as British
Columbia and New Zealand. The managing
director of it, Mr. Garcke. is a director of thirty
six companies and chairman Of twelve, while
> one of his colleagues. Mr.. Raworth, is director
of twenty-one and chairman of five. and an
other Mr. Hilton, is director Of fifteen and
chairman of eight Another gentleman holds
twenty-fv drectorships, aud the solicitor of
the company is also solicitor to twenty-eight
OF these subsidiary concerns.
Now, this organization may be good, bad or
Indifferent. We are not passing upon its

In discussing prices Mr.. vanderlip has also
painted the picture in much too sombre tints
He compares the rise from the lowest point of
1897 to early in 1900 especially as to iron
and steel products. taking time when that
industry was overwhelmed by season Of reck-
less speculation. and adds that, while some re-
action has occurred the present level is still so
to 50 per cent higher. These figures can only
apply to isolated cases. for. even including the
striking advance in breadstuffs, meats and fuel
the present level of all commodities is but 81
per cent above the lowest point on record As
the price comparison especially designed
to show the cOstliness of railway Improvement,
it should be stated that the $50 quoted by Mr.
Vanderlip for steel rails an open market

railways were receiving their goods on old con-
tracts placed before the advance. AS the
iron and steel industry is considered the best
barometer of business. the atmospheric pressure
