HR. BERRICK AND "THE WORLD. /"

At Elmira on Tuesday evening Mr. d. Cady
Herrick, Democratic candidate for Governor OF
New York, publicly denied that he had made the
vicious attack on President Roosevelt which has
been attributed TO him. After expressing his
confidence in the Presidents integrity, patriot
ism and loyalty Mr. Herrick said:
I never intended 70 make an invidous COM
psrison with a like DeveFy, and the state
ment that made such comparison OF likened
the President 20 Devery is somewhat annoying
and not true. / did not say that did not care
for the vote Of any person who voted Tor hoose-
welt but this is proba bly, matter of indifference
TO such.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Herrick has been
not merely somewhat" but exceedingly an
noyed by the reports which have everywhere
confronted him OF his speech at Plattsburg on
Wednesday. October 10. and is anxious TO nave
it understood that he was not so utterly foolish
on that occasion as for a week has been gener-
ally supposed. Under the circumstances Mr.
Herrick can hardly fail TO be interested in know
ing that the report of his Plattsburg speech.
which he has just repudiated, did not originally
appear in Associated Press dispatches or. so
far as we have observed, i'm any Republican
paper. but was contained in special dispatch
to the leading Democratic journal, "The New
York World which welcomed it with con-
spicuous headings and black faced type. In
order that Mr. Herrck may clearly see with
whom he has 10 reckon, we quote herewith from
The World" of October 20 that part of its re-
port of his Plattsburg speech which he dis
claimed at Elmira week later:
So we have to-day the Presidency of the
United States in the market, open TO be paid for
by protected monOpolies and protected trusts.
Those Of you who approve that kind of bust
ness-if there are any American citizens who
hold the Presidency lightly, then vote for
Roosevelt; we want none OF you. The same
thing is being done on a national scale win
millions at stake. and the government of the
United States at stake, was done by the po-
Iicemen and ca plains Of the city of New-Yorl

THE SUBWAF.

The opening 10 traffic Of the main stem and
West Side division Of the underground railroad
Is an event Of large importance 70 the city OF
New-York and the multitude OF visitors who
are constantly thronging its gates. There is
no reason 10 doubt that one Of the direct OBJ
jecis Of the undertaking win be accomplished
from the moment the trains begin 10 run in
lhe public service. Transit between parts of
Ihe city ON and near the line Of the subway
wiil be much more rapid than il has been
heretofore. and in some respects more com
Portable, but previous extensions and improve
lnents o. The transportation system have shown
thai new facilities breed traffic and forbid the
Eupposition that the road which goes into regu-
Jar operation this evening will supply the city's
requirements for even a single day. The chief
engineer predicted long agO that the first thing
which the completed subway would demon
Etrate would be the need OF others. That fore
cast has now been generally accepted as accu-
rate. and the Rapid Transit Commission Is
known TO be maturing plans for new routes.
Nearly Eve years have passed since the con
tract for the present subway was signed. and
that period may have quite elapsed before the
contract is fulfilled IN all its parts II has been
p time OF manifold sacrifices endured with ex-
fraOndinary patience. Fortunately the public
VIII never have TO bear such burdens again for
she sake Of obtaining what il needs. In the
progress OF the work now nearly finished com
mission and contractors have acquired knowl-
edge which win De useful hereafter-whch. In
deed. Is already being adVantageously applied
on the extension south OF the POstOfice The
people, too. have learned that much OF the loss
Bnd discomfort 10 which they have been ex-
posed might have been avoided and In the
future they viii assert their rights more inteIlI-
gently and more firmly.
But this Is not an occasion for dwelling on
Fhe imperfectiOns OF a great work. II Is only
3ust &c say that, on the whole. the building of
Sew-YOrk's lrst underground road has been
accomplished in an exceedingly creditable man
ner. The chief engineer. Mr.. Parsons. has snc-
cessfully solved many intricate problems, and
IN only single instance, following the change
pr plan IN Park-aEe., have his calculations
proved deceptive. The contractor, MI McDon-
aid, has shown thorough knowledge OF his bust
ness courageous spirit in the face Of obsta-
cles 0nd'great capacity for dealing with men.
u is. however, 10 the Rapid Transit Commits
sioneTs that The largest measure OF credit must
be giEen-nOt 50 much because Of their ser
Sices during the actual process OF construction
bs OF the earlier work they did.
The six years which elapsed between she
lassage OF the act and the signing Of the con.
nact were gloomy period. Interests hostile
10 tAe general welfare were alert and Dersist.
tAL public opinion was not wholly svmpafhetie
capital was shy. legal impediments arose. and
As ume went on nearly everybody became dis
conFased. But the commission held fast 80 A.,

a prompt ungrudging and satisfactory reply
to the other two demands-namely. punish
ment Of the guilty and n guarantee against
repetition of the offence. Those are reasonable
demands The punishment of Russian crimi-
nails is in general a domestic Russian affair,
with which other powers are not concerned.
But when Russian officials commit a murderous
outrage against the citizens of another country
the punishment of them Is a matter in which
that other country has n most legitimate inter-
est. When the feet of any nation shows itself
10 be a source of danger To the commerce of the
world all other nations have legitimate inter-
est in the abatement of that menace 1t will
not do TO say, as one prominent Russian Journal
says that other nations should warn their YES
sells to keep out Of the way of the Russian fleet.
It Is incumbent upon them to do no such thing.
The fishing fleets of Great Britain and the COM
mercial vessels of America have just as good
right to be upon the high seas as have those
Russian warshps. The suggestion that in time
of war all peaceful commerce must abandon
the high seas is intolerable.
1t is intmated that the British government
considers the Russian reply to its demands as
incomplete and therefore unsatisfactory, be
cause it does not deal with these latter two
points. In that must hold the British gov
ernment 10 be right We cannot imagine it's
being satisfactory to Great Britain or TO the
rest of the world to have those points ignored.
to have the men responsible for the tragedy
go unpublished, and to have the Russian fleet
proceed on its voyage without assurance that it
will hereafter respect the rights of neutral COM
merce on the high seas. There is, of course, no
wish TO make matters needlessly hard for Rus
sia. We all appreciate the predicament she is
in, the humiliation she is suffering because Of
this wretched performance of her feet. and the
need she feels of playing every possible card in
her war game with her mighty foe. Neverthe-
less there are considerations superior even to
those. dreadful wrong has been committed.
not only against British subjects and British
rights, but also against international right and
justice. The true welfare of Russia herself, as
well as of every other nation requires that those
guilty of that offence shall be appropriately
punished and that every guarantee that can be
given shall he given that the offence will not be
repeated Those British demands are Just and
reasonable. and it must be that Russia will
promptly grant them.
