AND YET ONCE MORE THAT BRIDGE.

The news of another hearing Oh the Central
Bridge trolley franchise must have affected
most readers much as would
The scent that steals from the crumbling sheet
Where a mummy is half unrolled.
They had thought that miserable business was
ended long ago in some way, good, bad or IN
different They had vague memories or lts
having been passed upon by the powers that
be favorably to the applicants for the franchlse
upon their compliance with certain reasonable
and generous terms. They had supposed the
franchise was completed, and had been looking
for the appearance of trolley cars upon the
bridge rather than for the temperance OF the
case before the aldermen and the Board OF EST
mate But it seems that the case was not set
tied but is still under advisement, with vast
possibilities of both good and evil.
We have hitherto frequently and in detail ex-
pressed the opinions that direct connection be-
tween the car systems of Manhattan and of
The Bronx should be provided at the earliest
possible moment in order to abate the almost in
tolerable grievances which the people of The
Brorx now suffer, and that such connection
should be provided by the trolley companies,
and not by the city through a gross perTersion
of public property TO private uses. We still be-
lieye that such a course should be followed, and
that any surrender of Central Bridge TO the
trolley companies on any terms will be grieV-
Gus and costly error, and will set a precedent
that will in future greatly plague this city Be
yond doubt the people of The Bronx are now
suffering a great wrong. But that wrong will
not be and can not be set right by the commits
sion of another great wrong.
If. however, this grab does go through and
this threatened wrong is perpetrated upon the
city, we sincerely trust the evil will be mini
mized as far possible and especially in three
respects. For one thing, an adequate rental
for the bridge should be required The trolley
people say they would gladly build bridge of
their own if the United States Government
would let them. Very well. Then they must
not object TO paying for the use Of this bridge
as much as the construction Of a new bridge
would cost them. In the second place, there
should be no monopoly Of the bridge, but the
company receiving the franchise should be
bound TO let the cars of other companies cross
the bridge on payment of an equitable share Of
the rental In the third place. overhead trolley
wires on the bridge and the viaduct and
streets on the Manhattan side of the Harlem
should be prohibited. 1t would be quite feast
bic for the cars using overhead currents in The
Bronx TO change TO underground conduit
when they reach the bridge, and they should be
compelled to do so.

A LESSON IN ORDER.

We have On so many occasions been com
PEELED TO comment on the failure OF authorities
IN the South TO give protection. TO peaceable
negroes against rowdy demonstrations that it
IS pleasure TO call attention TO the prompt and
vigorous suppression of Whitecaps In Lincoln
County, Miss Under the Mississippi deed Of
trust law merchants acquired large tracts of
land in that section OF the State which were
let out TO industrious negro farmers. These
people excited the jealousy Of the white
trash who consider it a piece of impudence
for q negro 10 be less shiftless than themselves.
Last December these tenants received notices
from wouldbe regulators that they would no
longer be permitted to cultivate the farms
which they had rented. Likewise, many
groes who owned their farms We're threatened
and calmly told TO abandon their homes This
is an old trick, and frequently 1t is effective.
1t did not work in this instance, however.
What followed is related in a letter to THE
Outlook from a lawyer Of Brookhaven, Miss.
who is acting for some of the negroes. He
writes:
The negroes Of Lincoln County complained of
this treatment, and the Governor offered a re-
ward for the conviction OF persons guilty of
giving such notices and making such threats.
Afidavits made against several persons
charged with this offence. Afterward they
were tried at Brookhaven. the county seat OF
IlnCOln County, pt JnOSe 1ONGH ana DlSIIlct
Attorney Graves, and they were bound over TO
await the action Of the grand jury. In this
trial most Of the members OF the bar IN the
county refused 10 defend the Whitecappers.
Upon the meeting Of the grand jury the result
was that indictments secured and a
.iction followed in each Indictment. The judge
imposed q fine and put each convicted person
under bond TO keep the peace These convic-
tions were secured upon the testimony OF two
upon the night they We're warned by said
whitecappers 10 vacate the farm they were
renting.
The attorney adds that these indictments and
convictions have without doubt, suppressed the
Whttecap movement in that neighborhood
and that the rewards offered by the Governor
viii be paid TO the two negroes who had the
courage TO invoke the law and defy the mob
This incident stands much to the credit Of the
government Of Mississippi. II likewise shows
how easy it is 20 put down lawlessness when
officials are really in earnest TO do so from the
start The whfteeap movement and the lynch
ing movement have assumed threatening pro-
portions simply because they have been played
with by the authorities In their early stages.
'The Charleston News and Courier" speaking
of the recent Iuinois lynching. from the depth
OF large experience with that sort of disorder,
says;

RECOGNIZING RETOLUTION.

Half a dozen or more powers have now of
fered their recognition and congratulations to
King Peter Of Servia. and we may therefore
regard his legitimacy as a ruling sovereign as
fully established The withdrawal of some for
eign ministers from Belgrade after the assas-
sination Of the former King and Queen and the
other manifestations of adherence of that
crime will presently DE nothing but academic
memories, which it will be bad form to revive
and the divine right of King Peter will stand
neutrality-suspicious. the next revolution. Never
theless the incident is not without its suggest
i've features, which may probably be regarded
for moment before they pass from sight
"Ex-Attache," on another page Of to-day
Tribune points out clearly the meaning and eff
feet of the withdrawal OF the British Minister
from Belgrade, and recalls various pertinent
precedents for such action. There Is no sunder-
ing of intercourse between Great Britain and
Servia, but merely a refraning from personal
relations between King Edward and King Peter
until rhe former is assured OF the latter's COM
plete innocence of and separation from the late
assassination. not only in but both before and
after the fact The case is radically different,
therefore, from that Of 1893, when all inter
course with France was broken off and war
was Immediately begun against her on account
Of the Revolution and it's murders The real
precedents for the present action are found in
the attitude OF Russia toward Louis Philippe
and toward Louis Napoleon, and of Russia and
Prussia toward Isabella Of Spain and Maria
della Gloria Of Portugal. The cases of Victor
Emmanuel ! of Italy and Ferdinand of Bull
garia are also in point
Now the interesting consideration is this that
in the cases named Russia refused to recognize
the right Of revolution. That is to say. she re-
fused to recognize the legitimacy of sovereigns
who had Won their thrones through revolutions
It did not matter that in some cases the people
of the countries concerned were satisfied, and
even greatly preferred the new soveregns to
the old. 1.-The consent of the governed did
not count. The established order Of succession
had been broken, and therefore Russia did not
approve the change. In the present case or
Servia, however there has not been q moments
hesitation on that score. The sovereign who
owes his accession and his title to revolution
was promptly recognized as entirely legitimate.
It is not, therefore, merely a recognition OF
King Peter. IT is recognition Of the legitimacy
of revolution. The sovereign VINO wins his
crown by revolution, and even BY murder, has
as good q title to it as though he had inherited
it from long line Of regning sovereigns- That
change in the attitude of Russia and of other
powers may be said to mark an epoch in the
history of the divine right Of kings-the epoch
Of the right, divine or otherwise, of revolution.
