AGAINST ROWDYISM.

The young men who have formed an organi-
zation for the purpose of making war on the
rowdies who insult women and use indecent
language in the streetcars deserve thanks for
undertaking a disagreeable task. When they
succeed in having some of the young miscreants
punished, and in driving the others away from
their present haunts they will have earned
place among the public benefactors.
This is not the first time that men have or
ganized against streetcar nuisances. Besides
the league for the enforcement of the regula-
tions of the Board of Health there have been
clubs for the promotion of the comfort of the
streetcar patrons The one which has just been
formed however. is better fitted to effect
forms than some of the others, because its
members will be vested with legal authority.
The men who valued their eyes and on that ac-
count wanted their fellow streetcar passengers
to hold their umbrellas and canes ferrule down,
could do no more than make request in the in
terest OF safety The reformers who hoped to
make streetcar travel more comfortable by
showing the man who sprawled or sat cross
legged that he was Objectionable passenger
had no right to interfere with the offender. If
other passengers tripped over his extended feet
or were compelled TO brush against his dirty
boots he could not be disturbed and he usually
looked II he did not say, What are you going
TO do about il?
The men who aim to eliminate the rowdy
who insults women on the streetcars will be
appointed special deputy sheriffs, and as such
will lay the heavy hand of the law the men
against whom they organized. People com
ing from the theatres late at night are often
compelled to ride in cars where brutal Ian
guage and indecent conduct cannot be checked
by conductors. but where the rev special deputy
sheriffs may do much good.

s4TTNG THE POST ROAD.

The work of saving the Albany Post Road
from spoliation goes on in an encouraging way
The result Of the local election in Dobbs Ferry
was gratifying. Now comes the announcement
that the bill for the surrender of the road TO
the Huckieberry trolley company is 10 be aban-
doned and that no further assault upon the
road VIII be made at Albany this year That
IS well But il is earnestly TO be hoped the de
tenders of the road viii not consider their work
wholly done They should use the respite thus
given 10 Them in perfecting their organization
and in devising additional ways and means for
repeIling the assaults which Will probably be
renewed next year at Albany, and which indeed
NAV be locally made at any time if the opinion
of the Attorney General is correct that State
action is not necessary, but that local authorl-
ties control the road.
II would be idle to say that 10 trolley line
shall ever be extended northward from fon-
kers 10 Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytown and Ossining.
As a matter OF fact such a road should be Dullt.
Public convenience and the Development OF
that part OF the county require ii. The thing
to insist upon is that it shall never be Dulit
along any part OF Broadway or The Albany Post
Road The latter is a reasonable proposition,
and one which can be maintained. But, say
the trolley folk. if the road cannot be built on
Broadway il will not be built at all. for II Ger
,ainiy will not be built through The Wo0us
With due respect. that is sheer nonsense. The
Huckleberry people know perfectly well that
they would much rather build through the
woods than not AT ALL There are several troll
lev lines IN that part OF the world that were
built through the woods, and that the com
NAMES concerned were glad thus TO build There
is one from Tarrytown TO White Plains that
runs through the woods most of the way and
for much of the way through private property.
There is another now being built in the same
vsy from Golden's Bridge TO Danbury. Conn
There is DO reason TO doubt that road could
Tins be built from Yonkers TO Tarrytown. ana
that il would thus be built If there were no
other way.
There is however another way, which ought
n he adopted at the earliest practicable mo-
menf That is through the opening of new
street.. running in general parallel with the
Post Road but further back from the river
Suen q street is needed for other purposes than
that of a trolley road. II is absurd 10 think
that those large and rapidly growing villages
along the Hudson should get on forever Win
only one fhoroughfare running north and south.
At tine northern part of Yonkers there are three
sucb tboroughfares, one of them occupied by
trolley line. and south from Yonkers 10 Man
h.,,an tbsre are two. There should be at least

SMOKE IN THE LUNGS.

Many of the ablest men in the medical pro-
fession in this country and in other parts of
the world are devotees Of Our Lady Nicotine
and are not in the least inclined to join an anti
tobacco crusade. But all of them are OF one

is not adapted TO the absorbing In the lungs of

THE IRISH POLICE.
sphere.

The intimation that the British Government
is considering the transfer OF control OF Tue
RoyaI Irish Constabulary to provincial couh-
ell at Dublin may well be received with eau
ton 1t is by far the most startling or all the
rumors that have been put adoat SINCE 'he
Dunraven- Redmond report pointed the way 10
a new epoch In Irish history. 1t may De tfue'
Rut the channel through which 1t comes is not
commonly regarded subject to governmental
inspiration, and the ruInor is itself so extraor-
dinary-we might say revolutionary-that strong
confirmation will be needed before 1t can be &C
cepted.
The police systems of the United Kingdom
are numerous end varied, and that of Ireland
is different from any other. The City or Loh-
don has its own police The metropolitan dis
trict outside of the City has it's own system.
The counties and boroughs of England ana
Wales have their police forces largely under
local control In Scotland the counties ana
hurgbs have control of their police, though
under different system from that in England.
The city of Dublin has special police 1orce
Of its own apart from the rest of Ireland 1he
ROYAL Irish Constabulary, which is the general
police force of Ireland. was organized in 1886,
and received its present name from Queen VIC
toria in 1861 It consists of nearly twelve thou
sand men, chiefly recruited from among the
Irish ueaSantry and organized on seml-1nIll-
tary plan and it is under the control of the
general government at Dublin. 1t is an uncom-
monty fine body of men, physically and intel
IectualIy and is regarded with much confidence
and affection by the whole Irish people regard
less of politics or creed It's duties are far more
complicated than those of ordinary police. in
Guiding census taking, the collection of agrl-
cultural statistics yearly acting as auctloneers
and as inspectors of weights and measures and
customs and excise service.
During the years Of agrarian and political aSl-
tation and disorder in Ireland it has been re-
gartled by Unionsts as absolutely essential to
keep the consta hulary under the direct control
of the crown. If placed under the local control
of Tipperary or Cork there would be no assur-
ance that the police would maintain the law OF
the United Kingdom. On the contrary, they
would probably be compelled to wink at boy
cotting and terrorism and other forms of crime
whenever the Land League or National League
government really Is thinking Of putting the
constabulary under local inSu1ar control 1t
must have particularly convincing assurances
of the demise or final departure Of Captain
Moonlight" Doubtless the ultimate ideal is for
the Irish police to be much under local con-
troll as is that of England or Scotland. Doubt
less too, than has hitherto been impossible, save
really reached point at which that ideal may
be realized the Irish question" must indeed be
close to complete solution.
