SOME POSTAL CONTRASTS.

postmaster Willcox's informal report upon his
observations of European postal systems strong
ly reminds that we have much vet TO learn
from the Old World. In many essential RESPECTS
he found the service III London Berlin and
Paris much better than In New-York The
branch offices are more numerous and more
complete. the wagon service is better, I'm some
cities automobiles are used there are more fire.
quent deliveries by carriers. and in general
greater prOmptness. The London office. Mr.
Wilcox thinks, is the best conducted in the
world
1t is not creditable that the contrast between
New-York and European capitals should be IN
favorable TO this city. 1t is true that New
York is in some respects not quite so much the
metropolis OF the United States as London is
of England or Paris Of France Yet in other
respects 1t is actually more so. AS the port of
entry and of dispatch of foreign mails and as
a transfer station for mails between different
parts Of this country it is unrvaed and UNIQUE
Moreover, 1t is unsurpassed by any in the pro-
portion OF revenue which it yearly turns in TO
the general postofice administration of the
country These circumstances certainly indi-
cate the desirabtlity Of putting it and keeping
it in the highest possible state Of efficiency.
1t could, OF course be made as efficient as the
offices Of London and Berlin, were sufficient
means provided and judiciously applied. Mr.
Wilcox tells us that the British and German
governments make much more liberal appro-
priations for the London and Berlin offices than
our government does for New York Yet the
New-York office is our governments greatest
revenue producer. and an increase of appropria-
hons TO IL would be merely return TO this
office of larger part OF its own earnings Ii
is both a matter of justice to New-York and Of
promotion of the welfare OF the whole postal
service Of the nation that the New-York office
shall have all it needs to raise It TO the high
est level Of efficiency.

tionallties-which Louis Napoleon himself ba-
grantly violated-were to prevail, there would
be not only SUCH but much more marked dis
solution of the empire. Austria would be oil
vided into at least three or four parts perhaps
more, and Hungary certainly into four. But
there is no reason to think it will prevail. II
does not now prevail generally in Europe On
the contrary. the tendency is chiefly in the other
direction. The United Kingdom continues, and
doubtless will continue to comprise four racial
natonalities.'' The Swiss Republic comprises
four. Russia holds nearly a dozen together
under one crown in Europe alone. Even France
and Spain, homogeneous as some may imagine
them, are really formed of the most diverse
elements. The German Empire includes other
racial stocks than the purely Teutontc. If these
countries can permanently subslst as com
pOsites, surely Austria Hungary may do the
same.
There is unmistakably a strong tendency in
modern sociology, politics and civilization gen
orally not only toward the maintenance of
such combinations of diverse peoples under one
government but also toward making them more
acceptable and profitable, The increase of pop
ular information. and of what we may call the
spirit of humanity, is unifying races. If an
cestral stocks are not being forgotten and if
racial distinctions are not being ignored at
least men are realizing that after all. they are
all men together. ami the chief interests of all
tribes ana races are the same Where. as in
America the various racial stocks are closely
intermingled in the same communities. it is
found that common government is good for
them all. Where. as in some parts Of Europe,
they are still largely grouped in special prov
inces. the general government is made accept
able to all on general lines. and an increasing
measure of local autonomy is found practicable
for each racial subdivision. Such systems will
doubtless be maintained To redivide Europe
now. on racial and tribal lines, would be to
plunge the Continent into the feudal chaos of
the Dark Ages

KNARENsHUEs PERFORMA,-gE.

The next best thing to watching flight
through the air by SantOs-Dumont is seeing an
imitation of it. Opportunities for such an OBJ
servation have been afforded to New-YOrk peo-
pie two or three times recently by young Knaben-
shue of Toledo, his latest voyage having been
made yesterday Curiosity about the appear
ance and behavior of his airship having been
satisfied, it is pertinent to inquire what he ac-
compllshed. Well, absolutely nothing new In
about half an hour yesterday he travelled four
miles, besides describing several circles while
aloft. His average speed was from eight TO ten
miles an hour Two years ago one of the air.
ships of the Lebaudy brothers. in France, COW
cred distance of forty-sX miles in an hour
and forty-one minutes. If an allowance is made
for the favorable influence OF the wind on that
occasion, the achievement indicated a capacity
Of making nearly or quite twenty miles an hour
in q calm There is nothing startling or revo-
lutionary in the Toledo boys performance
The style of craft in which Knabenshue is
giving his exhibitions also lacks novelty. Fully
score Of other men have already tried it. A
gas bag shaped ike an enormous sweet potato
furnishes the necessary buOyancy, and gasO-
lene engine the pr0pelling power. In still an
other particular the ascents in New York fol
low an all too familiar precedent The inventor
of the machine which has just been tried in this
city Mr. Baldwin, has the good sense not to
risk his own neck by riding IN It, He allows
somebody else to do so. That is the policy pur-
sued by the Lebaudy brothers. Montgomery,
the California man who uses detachable bal
loon to hoist his aeropane before it makes a
horizontal flight. never goes alOft himself He
employs a substitute, and the last one that he
secured was killed a few weeks ago. The dis
cretion which Mr.. Baldwin betrayS has ample
justification in the fate of Severe. a Brazilian
who fell from an appalling height after the
bursting of his gas reservoir, and that of De
Bradsky, another aeronaut, who engaged in the
same sort of experiment in France few years
ago.
One of the most unpleasant features of Kna-
benshues ventures is his blindness or indiffer-
ence to the perils which attend it. He frankly
refers to his mania for the sport and that
phrase happily describes the enthusiasm which
inspires him. For military reconnaissance for
mountain climbing and for geographical ex-
ploration the airship will unquestionably prove
useful The development of its mechanism de-
mands engineering skill and aeronautic experi-
ence; but most of the persons who are identi-
fed with the work of testing flying machines
are dominated mainly by an unfortunate mas
sion for reckless sport.

THE FUTURE OF AUsTRIA-HUyGARY

Mr. Karl Blind, who is an uncommonly shrewd
and experienced observer OF European politics,
takes Of the future of the dual realm very diff
ferent view from that which commonly pre-
walls. There has in late years arisen a pretty
general expectation that the end of the present
reign will mark the end Of that empire: that
when the venerable Kasers marvellous tact
and influence for conciliation and union are
withdrawn the slender bond which Joins Austria
and Hungary will be entirely broken, and that
the Teutonic provinces of Austria will revert
10 Germany, Bohemia Will go to Russia and
Hungary viii become an Independent state.
Thus the empire will be dissolved or resolved
into its racial elements. From this prognosti-
cation Mr.. Blind vigorously dissents, on grounds
that are interesting and forcible if not entirely
convincing.

THE M4RTYRDOn or TREES.

On an attractive residence street in one of
the best parts of Brooklyn there is of
stately trees. chiefly elms and naples In
proper condition they would shade the side
walk and roadway and add greatly to the
health comfort and beauty of the street AS
it is. they are a nuisance. and househOlders are
wishing they could be removed For weeks
past their leaves have been turning yellow and
dropping to the ground. keeping the sidewalk
strewn with them as in autumn. Now the
branches are nearly bare the trees give scarcely
any shade and are no ornament whatever to
the street In a few years they will probably
all be dead if their end is not anticipated by
some one who shall put them out of their mis-
cry.
There is no occasion for people to gaze at
them in surprise as some unthinking folk do
now and then. and wonder what can he the
matter with them. The trouble is obvious
enough. The street is asphalted, and the side
walk is laid from curb TO house with artificial
stone or stone slabs joined with cement. max
ing the whole eXpanse watertght. Some of
the tree trunks have actually been chopped
square with axe, so that the stone slabs can
tit snugly to them. Around others the artif-
cial stone has been closely laid. Where there
has been a space of few inches left between
tree and stone it is covered with we'll puddled
clay. now transformed into sun dried brick. 1t
is practically impossible for drop of water
TO reach the roots of the trees The soil down
there. for possible leakage from water
pipes and sewers, is as arid as the Sahara. In
addition, it is probably permeated and poisoned
with leaking gas. The only wonder is that the
trees have lived long in such conditions.
That street is by no means singular. The de-
scriptiOn we have given of il will apply as well
to any of scores. All over the city trees are
suffering martyrdom in precisely that way. In
many cases the evil work is complete. and
streets that were once arbOreal arcades are now
shadeless and blisterng ravines of rock and
asphalt 1t is all the business of the Park De
partment, of course. We wonder if that depart
ment ever thinks of attending to it?
