Union in Municipal Politics.

Hitherto the Citizens Union has never
invited Tammany Hall to join with it and
other political organizations in cam
paign for good municipal government.
In 1893 a faction of the Union attempted
to defeat THEODORE ROOSEVELT for
Governor by running third ticket This
effort resulted in ludcrous failure. Since
then the Union has scrupulously re-
Trained from taking part in State cam
paigns. In municipal campaigns it has
worked with the Republican city organ
ization, until it has come to be regarded
popularity as an ant-Tammany organiza-
ton pure and simple, rather than nom
partisan organization striving only for
decent municipal administration
By inviting Tammany Hall to enter
this years combination for good gov
eminent the Union has at least cleared
itself Of the suspicion that it exists merely
to aid Republicans to defeat New York
county organization Democrats nom
mated as candidates for office. If Tam
many accepts the invitation the Union
will have allied itself with the strongest
partisan machine in the city. II Tam
many declines the Union will be no worse
of than it was before.
The Citizens Union has simply recog-
nized the obvious fact that enough votes
to elect a Mayor of New York can not be
procured unless considerable drafts
are made upon those electors whose
natural inclination is to support the man
put forward by the regular Democratic
organization of New York county

Supp ose Russia Should Repudiate
Peace.

An eminent Japanese statesman, who
himself has been president of the
Mikado's Council, indicated the other
day the terms of peace upon which, in
his judgment, the Toxic Government
would insist, provided, of course, RoJEsT-
vENsKY's fleet should be thoroughly
beaten and Gen. LINIEvITcH should be
defeated by Marshal OYAMA. Japan,
he said, would exact from Russia not
only the acknowledgment of her ascend
ency in Corea. the evacuation of the
whole Of Manchuria (Which, with the
exception Of the leasehold rights accru-
ing to the Japanese by conquest in the
Laotung peninsula, would revert to
China, the cession of Sakhalin to the
Island Empire and the dismantlipg of
Vladivostok, but also a pecuniary in
demnity of not less than one billion
dollars. 1t is, of course, the last named
condition which all Russians, including
even the advocates of peace, at present
regard as inadmissible.
1t is asserted, in the first place, that
Russia has never paid a pecIniary in
demnity and that there is no precedent
in history for such payment, except in
the case of country the territory of
which has been wholly or in part occupied
by the enemy. We believe the former
assertion to be well founded as regards
the period which has elapsed since the
Grand Dukes of Moscow threw off
the Tatar yoke; up to that time, of
course, they had paid tribute regularly to
their Tatar suzerain as the price of their

Trades Unionism and Public Owner

Ex-Judge D-CADY HERR1cK in his
speech Monday before the Reform Club
directed attention to one phase of the
public ownership question of which COM
paratively little has been said. Mr.. HER
KICKS words were:
By municipal ownership either the trades unions
win be crushed out of existence, for 1t Is hard to
contemplate seli-respcctlng, stable. strong gov
eminent allowing Its employees to dictate TO It or
even 70 discuss questions with It, or the trades
uniops viii dominate the Government. Which would
Be wonet l do not know"
That the conflict which Mr.. HERR1CK
foresees is not fanciful one is made
apparent by the news from Washington.
The National Association of Letter Car
riers will hold its annual convention in
Portland, Ore, in September, and at this
meeting special committee, appointed
last year, will report on a project to
amalgamate the association with the
American Federation of Labor. The
radicals among the letter carriers favor
amalgamation, on the ground that "the
organization should make itself felt in
politics. That is, these letter carriers
feel that they should dictate to their
employer, the Government, the terms
and conditions on which their labor shall
be sold. Several times they have at
tempted to do this, and last winter Presi-
dent ROOSEVELT had two or three car
riers whose activities had been carried
too far dismissed from the service The
carriers boast that they caused the de-
feat in 1902 of Representative LOUD Of
California because he had opposed the
measures advocated by them. In 1904
the rural mail carriers endea1ored to
defeat Representative OvERsTREET, who
succeeded Mr.. LOUD as chairman of the
House Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads, because he blocked their efforts
for increased compensation. In other
words, the letter carriers attempted the
dictation that Mr.. HERRICK describes.
This feature of public ownership is
worthy of earnest consideration by
unionists and non-unionists alike. The
glittering possibilities of reduced costs,
higher wages and shorter hours are
not the only incidents of public owner
ship to which attention should be called.

SUNDAY BASEBALL LIMITS.

Police Commissioner McAdoo has re-
oeived from Corporation Counsel John j.
Delany an opinion to the effect that Sunday
baseball games which are advertised,
and for which an admission fee Is charged,
violate tho penal code. Acting on the
opinion, Mr. McAdoo said yesterday that
he would proceed to make arrests at pro-
fessional Sunday games without securing
warrants.
The opinion of the Corporation Counsel
was sent In response to request for adj
vice made by Mr.. McAdoo on April ls.
Mr.. McAdoo asked these questions:

In his opinion the Corporation Counsel
advises that Sunday baseball, per sc. Is
not criminal, but may become so under
certain circumstances, When there was
no disturbance, he said. the game might

The ball game, in the opinion Of the
Corporation Counsel, became illegal, under
the decision Of various courts, when It was
advertised as coming event for which q
payment for admission was to be collected.
He further advised that arrests could be
made by the police without warrants.
1T would really appear that an adver-
tsed game, for which an admission fee
was charged said Mr., McAdoo yesterday,
would indicate a quiet game; but the
courts have ruled otherwise This means
that this department must stop Sunday
baseball at least until the matter has been
taken up to the higher courts. will act

Mr.. Delany's opinion suggested that 1t

soon as possible.

meet the issue squarely.' said Mr.. McAdoo,
-and not resort to the subterfuge OF selling

Charles H. Ebbetts, president Of the

yesterday thar should the police attempt
to stop Sunday playing he will obtain an

The recent attempt to revive what Is
called comic opera has not met with sue
cess in Berlin although the best OF the
older standards has been kept in mind.
The comic opera of the days Of the Viennese
school, and before that time Of OFFENBACH,
has no successor to-day. The school OF
this form of stage art ceased to exist when
the fertility of the yiennese composers
came to an end.
The Berlin experiment was made with
some old works and some new ones to decide
if the public cared for the old fashioned
comic opera in the original or the modern
imitation. The question has been settled
by the rejection of both.
The interesting conclusion drawn from
this season undertaken by an impresario
who is an intelligent student OF the stage
was that new audiences must be created
If the old works are to be revived. The
best of OFFENBAcH. STRAUSS and even
MILLoEcKER are gradually finding their
way to occasional performances in the
regular opera houses. There the audiences
that take pleasure In their beauties will
seek them out gladly. But the humor
Of these composers does not appeal to the
general public to-day. London musical
farce and the native extravaganza are much
more readily comprehensive than this
older satire. Recent performances Of the
Gilbert and Sullivan operas here have made
it plain that the actors were still much moro
capable of interpreting the humor OF the
text than the audiences were OF under
standing 1t. And in a measure the fun
of OFrENBAcH's operas requires special
hsarrrs. This means, OF course, that the
old style comic opera in all its forms is
n thing of the past. Its gems will luckily
be preserved in the repertoire OF the opera
houses, where they will be heard by audi
ences more patient Of their humor than the
ordinary seeker Of entertainment in the
theater.

Belmont Asks for Extensions, but Is Not
Likely to Get the Franchises.
When the Rapid Transit Commission
rejected the application Of August Bel
mont to be allowed to convert the Second
avenue elevated line into double decker
Commissioner Charles Stewart Smith sug-
gested that express facilities might he
provided by adding an additional track
each to the Second and Third avenue
elevated lines.
Mr.. Belmont grasped at the suggestion
and wrote to the commission at it's last
| meeting asking for a hearing. The COM
MISSIONS committee on plans met yester-
day and, after hearing Vice President E. P.
Bryan Of tho marlborough company, Will
liam Barclay Parsons and Julien 7. Davies.
one Of tho compapy's counsel a resolution
| was adopted that II the marlborough Tor
mally applied for such extensions the
commission would hold public hearings
on It.
1t would seem, however. from a state
| ment made yesterday by member Of the
commission, that Mr. Belmont will be only
| wasting time. To pass such a franchise
would require six out Of the eight votes in
the board. The Mayor never votes on
franchises, because they have to come be-
fore him after the necessary consents OF
the local authorities have been obtained.
and THE Suns informant said yesterday
that Comptroller Grout and John H. Starin
were unalterably opposed to any extension
Of the elevated railroads President Orr
agrees with Mr.. circuit that extending the
elevated roads would lessen the city 8 chances
Of obtaining for the new Manhattan SUBJ
ways bidders who will build at their
own expense. Another detrimental factor
Is that the elevated franchises would be
perpetual, while the subway franchises
run only for fixed term.
The Aldermen have not carried out the
| assurances which the leaders Of that body
gave to the Mayor that 'h,y would APP
prove new subway plans b, re their fran
chise granting power is taken from them.
The Aldermen intend to test the bills con-

the subway plans in the delays which the
litigation would bring about.
