CLOSING IN UPON PORT ARTHUR

When the Japanese secured possession of 203-
Metre HILL Just before the close Of November It
was fOTeseen at St. Petersburg that the situation
at Port Arthur had become more serious than
ever before. From the new point Of vantage
commanding if not directly overlooking the har-
Dor from the westward it would be possible TO
deliver a terribly destructive fire, provided that
heavy guns were brought into play Whatever
might be the fate Of the city, which was further
away, the fleet bottled up there would be ex-
posed 10 increased peril. 1t was, admitted M
The Russian War Office that the ships still re-
manning would either be driven ont or pounded
10 pieces These fears are being realized with
painful CELEBRITY. -Four five days were spent
IN bringing up the necessary guns, but the latter
have been splendidly served this week The
combined effect of the bcmbardment Monday
and prior TO the short armstice of Tuesday is
not fully known yet, but it has evidently been
terribly destructive. One battleship has been
sunk. another disabled and big cruiser driven
ashore, and there is TO think that MT LEAST
two other large vessels have been hit repeatedI,
In the mean time several magazines on land
have been exploded, and under cover of the
artillery hre the japanese infantry have been
able to secure several new positions
Possibly with a view to lessen!ng the sbocl, IN
public sentiment which last weeks news was
sure to impart the Russian War Office rnodo +ro

eninences dominated 3O3-NIetre Hill These

An INVITATION.

Much TO our regret we have not yet received
from Mr.. ARENAS Ward the master sign painter
of the subway, an acceptance Of our cordial in
vitation TO show him the tiles which his sub
ordinates have broken as incident to their en-
terprise of mailing up signs on the tile lined
walls Of the subway stations. Mr. Ward the
other day accused us Of misrepresentation, and
declared over his own signature that the public
viii look in vain for smashed tiles" We then
offered TO show him where smashed tiles could
be seen, and we have since taken casual look
about as to perform our part as host ex-
peditiously.
A slight examination Of only two or three sta
tons reveals many instances Of damaged tiles
including not merely extensive chipping a tie
joints, but the actual cracking of whole tiles
down through the middle. The later signs put
up since the agitation which Mr.. Ward thinks
ridiculous, show more consideration for the
thing, or at least more care to conceal vandalism
and some clumsy attempts TO repair damage
previously done. Possibly Mr. Ward was count
ing on that when he said that the public would
look in vain" for smashed tiles If he has not
discovered them, at least his subOrdinates have,
and they have been along with plaster of paris
and daubed it into the holes where the thing
had been clipped away by hammer and nails
Then they have, in some places, substituted for
the nails fat metal clips screwed to the wall.
1AeSe are large enough 10 cover some of the
chipping previously done.
Now, nobody asserts that the station walls are
failing down. but that it is vandalism 10 drive
nails into the glazed surface, cracking, chipping
and breaking the tiles. If Mr. Ward had a
drawing room handsomely panelled in mahog-
any and his hOusemaid drove nails into the
panels here and there on which to hang her
broom or even his own bric-a-brac, would his
anger be Modified by being told that the walls
still stood and that she could daub the holes
and cracks over with putty? Well. he has
treated the subway exactly in that way Our
invitation still stands. If we cannot show him
IN half an hours trip fifty tiles damaged by his
signs, we will pay for the luncheon at the end Of
the excursion. And, as we have no desire to
gamble on sure thing we shall not ask any
corresponding forfeit on his part, but shall be
content 10 show Mr.. Ward that in this matter
he is-a cheerful humorst

MEN OUT OF WORK.

Although it is likely that great deal of work
will be carried on in NewYOrk this winter it
must be admitted with regret that it is difficult
TO see how employment is to be found for all
the persons who have come to this city with
the expectation Of getting something to do. No
great snowstorm has yet fallen which would af-
ford opportunity for thousands to busy them
selves for days with the removal of the snow
from the city streets. Not nearly so many men
as were busy on the subway before it was opened
for patronage are now occupied on the tunnel
( 1t is true that extensions of the system are In
progress. RoadwayS are to be constructed on
the West Side far 10 the north, and on the East
Side over long distance, in addition To the
routes below the City Hall and to Brooklyn.
The NewYork Central's great task of trans
forming its system on Manhattan Island and
above it has been taken up with zeal and energy
and the work is going on actively Offering Il
wide field for labOrers while the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Improvements of the highest i'm
portance In fact every railway line which
comes into NeWYork has received new i'm
pulse of encouragement, and most Of them will
be busy for a long time to come with their i'm
provements. The southern part of this State
including Long Island, ana the part of New-Jer-
sey adjoining New-York are also to be trans
formed to such an extent that the demand for
workers will be heavy. Attracted by these en-
terprises hundreds of people from other parts
Of the United States have come hither in search
of employment. Unfortunately there are more
Of them here than can find occupation at pres
ent. The superintendent of the Municipal Lodg
ing House says that from his point of view
there are at least 40 per cent more idle men in
New-Nork than there were last year at the same
time. somewhat similar report comes from
Bellevue Hospital. With this great army OF
unemployed on her hands New-York has a heavy
task before her this winter

EDITORIAL ETHICS.

In a letter published ON Monday our London
correspondent, Mr. l. y. Ford, referring to the
new ownership Of 1.-The Standard and the
gradual change which will be brought about IN
that papers heretofore hostile attitude toward
Mr. Chamberlain's scheme of tariff reform,
wrote as follows:
For this purpose the same writers will be en-
ployed under the direction of a new editor. and
it is unnecessary to follow Mr.. Winston Church
i'll when he says that the staff is to be perverted
Fleet Street has its own way of adjusting the
responsibility for opinions. The leader writers
do not express their own, but their editors,
views controversial questions. This is the
universal practice and il involves no lack OF
sincerity or consistency. It Is not unlikely that
some of the strongest Free Trade articles which
have appeared in THE standard during the
last two years were written by n convinced
Protectionist and that when he comments upon
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech at Limehouse in the
course of few weeks he Will be in closer accord
with his private judgment than ne mas Deeh
when called upon to give expression TO Mr. Cur
tis's Incorporating loyalty to Cobdenism
1t will be observed that Mr.. Ford is reflect
ing. accurately we must suppose, the Fleet
Street view of editorial ethics in the foregoing
paragraph and when he says: The London
leader writer acts hOnOrably when he does his
work faithfully and leaves his editor respon-
| "sbe for the opinions of his own journal.
Happily the best newspapers in this country
live up to a different view and practice Here
the editor acts honorably when he causes a
policy which he believes in to be advocated by a
leader writer who believes in it himself. If he
finds it inconvenient SO to apportion the work
which he wants done he does not require or
desire subordinate to write against his own
convictions, but reorganZes the editorial staff
so far as may be necessary He would not sat
isfy his sense Of personal obligation by acting
otherwise nor expect in the long run to com
mand for his paper the confidence and support
of its readers.

THE EXAMPLE OF TRINITY.

The rector and clergy of Trinity Church an
nounce that they have accepted the release from
former obligations which was recently granted
by the General Convention and hereafter viii
mot solemnize holy matrimony in any case In
(which either party has a husband or wife Nv
ling who has been divorced for any cause
arising subsequent to marriage" and that the
marriage Of any person so divorced may not
take place in Trinity Church or in any of the
"chapelS Of this parish" 1t is to be hoped that
the example set by the foremost Episcopal
church in the United States will be followed by
the clergy Of other parishes and denominations.
Nobody can doubt that the scandal which has
led to this decisive action is grave and 1ncreas-
ing Though the decentralization of American
society due TO the facility with which divorces
can be procured and remarriages accomplished
may have been exaggerated, it is causing ser-
GUS anxiety not only to persons deeply imbued
with religious convictions but to great num-
Der of excellent citizens who have taken no
ecclesiastical vows. There is n widespread feel
ing, however, that such remariages are special
" conducive to a low estimate of domestic Obli-
cations when they performed by clergymen
with the blessing Of the Church
The objection has been made to the action
taken by the clergy of Trinity that it will tend
to dissuade innocent persons whose marital
bonds have become intOlerable from seeking to
break them, but that is q strange view Of the
subject. If it should have the effect of causing
even heavy Affections 10 be borne with greater
fOrttude, the consequences would be sautary
rather than harmful Pity for those who have
made unfortunate marriages is not inconsistent
with belief that divorce should be made far
more difficult than it is in many parts of
the country. 1t is not to the advantage of So
ciety that family obligations which have been
more or less imprudently contracted should be
easily abandoned. Its permanent welfare re-
quires husband or a wife 10 endure much and
long before severng the marriage tie. The dis
creditable fact is that the people who will most
strongly condemn the course adopted by Trinity
are those whose chief motive for securing q
divorce is a desire 10 marry again. There is
every reason why neither ecclesiastical nor civil
authorities should contribute further than they
must to the qualification Of that unhallowed
longing.

being so is neglect. Neglect has resulted In
congested and unsanitary alleys. where the
negroes are huddled in tumbledown cabins,
and In children running the streets when they
should be in school. The Presidents recon-
mendation of systematic and farseeing plans
for reform should be needed. The nations capt.
tai should be the first city in the world in
everything that makes for the welfare of its
inhabitants. The people OF Washington are,
for their own sake, entitled to this intelligent
rule since they have no power over their own
condition. and when the problem is so compare
lively simple there the nation should not fail
to offer an example for the encouragement and
emulation of other cities. When New-York and
Chicago see the ideals of municipal reformers
demonstrated in Washington as they are now
in some foreign cities, they will appreciate the
value of these ideals and the possibility OF
achieving them.

THE SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE.

If the fight among the promoters and con-
testants in the six day bicycle race at Madi-
son Square Garden shall result in discourage
ment of future contests of the kind, it will GER
tanly be a blessing in disguise-and rather thin
disguise, too. Six day bicycle races should never
be allowed in this town. They are brutal exhi-
billions which draw together elements Of the
most undesirable character, such as gather at
priZehghts and other low sporting" meetings.
There is no reason why a city ordinance
should not be passed which would effectually
prevent the repetition of the affair The Board
of Aldermen recently adopted an ordinance
aimed in that direction, but under its provisions
two friends could not lawfully play billiards
for a longer period than three hours a day.
Naturally, Mayor Mcclellan vetoed it, It is
possible, however, TO draw a sane measure
which would accomplish the desired object and
meet the Mayors approval
