EET RAPID Transit PROPOSALS.

The scheme for an extensive development of
the city's transportation system just reported to
the Rapid Transit Commission by its chief en-
eineer may be said at once to show a clear
understanding of the present situation and Of
the probable requirements of the near future
Many attempts TO deal with certain features of
the problem have been made. and some of them
have been helpful. The Tribunes advocacy, for
example. of subway road under Lexington
ave-. connecting near the Grand Central Station
with the tunnels now in process of construction,
instantly commanded official and general com
mendation, and is adopted in the chief engl-
neers report. But comprehensive plan OF i'm
provements seemingly adapted to the present
and future needs of Manhattan and The Bronx
is now submitted for the first time. Mr.. Par
sons has been studying the subject for years.
under special advantages, and his conclusions
are deserving of the most respectful attention.
The scheme which he presents includes new
lateral and transverse subways extensions of
the elevated railroad lines and additional tracks
along parts of the existing routes and the sub
stitution of an elevated freight and passenger
road below Fifty-rinth-st- for tie surface tracks
which the New-York Central company now
maintains in West-st Scarcely anybody is COM
petent to express ofhand valuable opinion as
TO ali the QetallS or the plan winch MT. Parsons
has laboriously worked out, and we shall GER
tainly not attempt to do so. But 1t is obvious
that the city's transportation facilities would be
vastly increased if his proposals should be
adopted. and on first examination they do not
seem to involve any intolerable sacrifice. 1t
may be frankly admitted that the prospect Of
having many streets put and kept in a chaotic
condition for years to come is distressing TO a
community just beginning to escape the mseries
which the first subway has caused. But the ex-
periences Of the last three or four months have
been so painful and so instructive that the de-
mand for relief is likely to outweigh any pro-
tests which the suggested methods of providing
relief may provoke. In fact, hostile note has
rarely been heard in all the long discussion of
ways and means to alleviate existing conditions
No doubt when routes have been selected for
new subways and the work Of excavation has
begun there will be sadness among the chief
sufferers. and yet, TO judge the future by the
past loss and discomfort will be borne with
exemplary patience in consideration of benefits
to follow. New-York must inevitably pay a
heavy price for what it needs but apparently
it is quite ready to lay.
As to the question of recompense for the privi-
leges which the city is able to bestow on trans
portation companies, that is matter for care
full calculation. as Controller Grout warns his
colleagues; though his apparent assumption that
the city is in a way to be cheated seems hardly
necessary.

PLAIN TALK AT WASHINGTON.

Some plain talk is beginning TO be heard at
washington concerning the delay Of important
LEGISLATION in the Senate, and ii is perhaps just
rs well that it should be heard and that it
should be about plain as possible Here Is
the situation: The Cuban treaty, so essential
to the honor and material welfare of the United
States. is farored-so we are told-by consh-
tutional majority OF the Senate, yet 1t is not
ratified. The time originally set within which
81 should he ratified long since expired, and an
extension Of time was secured; but still there
Is no ratification. The end of the session is now
only few days off and there is much work to
be done, and not a few discreet observers
eTzyeIy doubt whether a vote will be reached
upon that treaty at all. The Panama Canal
treaty is IN a similar plight. The Senate is all
but unanimous in its favor 1t must be ratified
before the end of the session or the purchase
contract made with the Panama company will
1apee and may then be most difficult if not i'm
possible TO renew The canal enterprise itself
is ar stake. Yet little group of Senators are
sble-and willing-to delay action and to
threaten the measure with defeat
1t il time for plain speaking. 1t is time for
vote 70 be taken and for Senators to come out
boldly on one side or the other of these impor-
tant questions. If they want these treaties rati-
to their ratification, let them vote upon and
reject them Ii is not brave, ii is not Just il
is not honorable, 10 keep them indefinitely sus-
pended, like Mahomet's coffin. To delay action
upon them deliberately and purposely. In vain
hope of thus erading all responsibility concern
ing them would be unworthy of Senators of
the United States and of American manhood.
TO say it is impossible to do otherwise be-
cause an overwhelming majority is helpless be-
fore the obstruction Of a small minority, would
come dangerously near to a declaration of the
failure of our governmental system.
Memories Of year ago do not conduce to
limited patience and forbearaDce toward the
present situation. year ago a bill dealing
with Cuban relations was before the Senate.
1t was strongly favored and its enactment
urged by the administration and by the over
wbelning mass of public opinion throughout the
naticp The leading members of the Senate
professed TO favor II. They said it was favored
by majority of the Senate. and that In due
time II would assuredly be passed. But that
dime never came. II was always next week.
er after this other bill is disposed Of" AT last
the END Of the session came, and the pledges
were nnfaidlled and the bill was not passed.

THE PRIZETGHTERS' OWN.

The bill now before the legislature to au-
thorize sparring matches under license from
State commission, whatever its source may be-
will find its most eager supporters among those
who long for restoration of the old, brutal
fraudulent prizefghting industry. 1t will
doubtless be advocated on the ground that it is
designed to encourage innocent exhibitions of
skill with the fists and 1.-The manly art Of self
defence But that plea should deceive no one.
Various provisions of the bill are declared to
contain rigid restrictions against abuse, but
they are all capable of being made to serve the
purposes Of the pugilistic ring of which Tim
Sullivan is the legislative champion. If the
measure should be passed the public would
find that the door stood wide open for the re-
entrance into the arena in this State Of the
ruffians and swindlers who now compelled
to go elsewhere to perform the contracts which
they still dare to negotiate here in defiance of
the law. 1t is discreditable to the authorities
that they permit even the preliminaries to be
arranged within the limits of New-York, but
the repeal of the Horton law has brought i'm
mense relief to every decent citizen and freed
the State from a great reproach
One eXasperatng, but, we hope, not really
dangerous, feature of the bill is the bait to
public cupidity which it throws out by provid
ing for revenue to the State from licenses
Large or small, such fees would be tainted
money, which it would be disgrace to touch
This is not the case of passion which cannot
be quenched, and resultant business which is
bound to continue illicitly on a large scale if
not legalized. If it were there might, OF might
not, be two sides to the question. The fact is
that prizefghting in this State has been almost
utterly stamped out since the law under which
it fourished was repealed There is not the
slightest excuse, of public policy or public opn-
ion for permitting it to show its head again.

FURMAN STREET CARS.

The suggestion that a regular car service
Ign, is now being officially urged. 1t his re-
peatedly been made in these columns. and is to
be heartily commended as a prompt and practi-
cal means of relieving to some extent the con-
gestion of travel on the trolley lines of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. 1t is urged
that cars are needed on that street for the sake
of local traffic. That is doubtless true. They

as glance at the situation will show.
People object to crossing Fulton, Wall-st and
South ferries because there is not adequate
car service on the Brooklyn side. But such
service can be supplied by the use of Furman-
st Third-ave. and Seyenth-ave. and Flatbush.
ave. cars might be run through it from Fulton
Wall-st. and South ferries car service which
they do not now have at ALL and 1t would vastly
improve the Fulton Ferry car service for the
cars would be able to at full speed along
Furmhnst and Atlantic-ave,, instead OF crawl
ing at II foot pace along overcrowded Fulton st,
as at present Obviously, too, the lessennr of
congestion on Fulton-st. would enable the max
ing OF far better time by the lines which cross
the bridge and go up that thoroughfare
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has
long been trying to get possession of Liberty-st
in order to have more room for its ears and
thhs to improve its service. There are obvious
and cogent reasons why 1t should not have that
street, and why Liberty-st. should be forever

SURGEONS IN EMERGENCY.

Without doubt there is disposition on the
part Of some surgeons to use the knife on slight
provocation. With modern aseptic surgical
methods, cutting has come to seem to them as
much a matter Of course as the administration
Of dose Of calomel seemed to their predeces-
sors Of two generations ago. Under such cir
cumstances there is natural tendency to per
form operations without in all cases giving due
weight to the wishes of patients and their
friends This is particularly true in public hos
pitfalls, where treatment, not Of persons, but of
cases. becomes inevitable. Therefore it is not
a bad thing for the medical profession to be
sharply reminded of its responsibilities, as it
has been by Chicago court, which gives $4,000
damages TO the husband of a woman who was
operated upon without her consent or that of
her husband. The court holds that the outcome
of the operation is not to be considered In
acting without express consent of some person
competent to give it, the surgeon commits a
violation, or trespass, on the body of the pa-
tent
Not having the full text OF this decision we
are unable 10 say how guarded its dicta may
be. Undoubtedly il lays down a sound rule an
phcable to most cases, and followed In gen
eraL We believe, by most surgeons 1t might
frequently happen, however that in an an,er
gency surgeon would have to choose between
leaving his patient to certain death and per
forming instantly major operation ON bis own
responsibility. 1t would seem as If in the in
teFests OF humanity, as much as of the surgeon
some protection should be given TO him in ex
ercising his discretion at such time. 1t is NOT
fair TO ask him, when he sees man choking
TO death for want of an incision in the wind
pipe, or stands over stranger injured In rail.
way accident, TO balance in his mind the dutv
OF saving life and the chances that some black
mailer may take advantage of his "trespass."
We do not suppose that 1t would often make
much difference. Few physicians in an emer-
gency would let selfish fears stand In the way
OF what they knew ought to be done, let the
risk to themselves be what it might Yet they
are entitled TO settled privilege in this regard
subject TO full responsibility for its abuse
