FOR NEW BRooKArN SUBWAY.
Lawrence Abraham suggests a Tunnel
From city Hall 20 thorough Hall.

Inc new subway plan proposed by
Lawrence Abraham Of Abraham 4 Straus.
which has been unanimously approved
by the West End Board Of Trade, the South
Brooklyn Board OF Trade, the Thirtieth
Ward Improvement League, the Thirty
frst Ward Board Of Trade and the Staten
Island Board OF Trade and Transportation,
Will be presented to the Rapid Transit Com
mission at meeting to be held tomorrow.
Mr.. Abraham explained his plan in de.
tail before the delegates OF the various
organizations referred to at a meeting held
in Days Hall, South Brooklyn, Monday
night, The meeting was largely attended
and the delegates took deep interest in
Mr.. Abraham's suggestions and then
unanimously indorsed the plan. The Manu-
facturers Association Of New York and
the Brooklyn League have already approved
the plan, and IL IL said that 1t comes nearer
to solving the congestion at the Manhattan
terminal OF the Bridge and will afford
quicker transit than any other plan so far
suggested. In explaining his plan Mr.. Abra-
ham said.
What propose TO have done will be to
connect at the Manhattan end of the Bridge
subway that will come 20 Brooklyn with
out any change of cans. In other words,
by my plan the local service of the Man
ndttdn subway would become the express
service in Brooklyn. The route proposed
would connect with the Manhattan subway
at the Manhattan City Hall, crossing the
river and running through Washington
street TO the Brooklyn Borough Hall, with the
first stop at the junction Of Washington
and Court streets From that point the
tunnel will run through Court street, thence
to Atlantic avenue 10 Fourth avenue and
thence 10 Fort Hamilton
This would be the most direct and quick
est route imaginable and would relieve
to very large extent the congestion that
exists at the Brooklyn Bridge during the
rush hours. For instance, II tho proposed
subway il built, persons coming 10 Brook
lyn will be able TO take local trains in Man
haitian below Twenty-third street and
obtain direct service to Brooklyn without
a change OF cars. After leaving the Borough
Hall station the service would become
express. Under this scheme there would
be thousands OF Brooklynites who come
from points between the Bridge and Twenty
third street who would be saved getting
into the crush at the Bridge.
Under the conditions that will obtain
on the route that Is being built at the present
time there will be little If any relief from
the congestion that exists during the rush
hours at the Manhattan end of the Bridge.
The claim that the proposed route to |
Fort Hamilton will DO OF little or no benefit
10 residents OF other sections of the city |
is oil bosh. Transfer points could easily |
be established at both points OF contact |
Washington and Fulton streets and Allan |
tic and Flatbush avenues

A virginia Electors speech.

AT a meeting OF the Virginia electoral
college Monday the Hon. WILLIAM p
BARKsDALE, an elector at large and O
member of the State Senate, made a
queer speech Regretting that, contrary
to the intent of the makers of the Consti-
tuition, and az n result Of long unbroken
custom, an elector Is no longer chooser
but a mere puppet and registrar, Mr..
BARKsDALE proceeded to emit his gath
cred bile against Judge PARKER. We're
free and untrammelled, said Mr.
BARKsDALE, Il would not vote for
PARKER If it was a safe Democracy
then it was insane.
Mr.. BARRsDALE's kicking against the
pricks was absurdly belated Why did
he consent TO be an elector? Why did
he bottle up his wrath from July to
January?
None the less, Mr.. BARKspA1E's protest
is additional evidence of the state Of
mind of tho Bryanites in Virginia and
in every other State. OF the Virginia
Democrats he asserts that $4,000 went
to the polls and voted, while 10000 re-
sented the insult and management of
the campaign by the men who four years
before turned their faces on BRYAN"
Mr. BARKsDALE declared that Mr..
ROOSEVELT was fast becoming good
Democrat and that if he came further
down tho road the Democrats would
gladly name him as their standard
bearer
In spite Of the exacerbation and ex-
aggeration in these remarks there is
some truth in them. Mr.. BRYAN himself
is well enough pleased with Mr., RoosE-
WELT. 1t becomes clear that the ire,
mendous pother made about the Booker
T. Washington incident was largely
artificial, meant to keep the disguised
Southern Bryanites in line; and it
succeeded to the extent OF cutting a few
fringes of what otherwise might have
been a general Roosevelt triumph.
Mr.. ROosEyELT's election was a great
Democratic disaster and great Roose-
welt victory, hut not a Republican vic
tory. Al present the Bryan men seem
- h9te the -reorgapizers worse than
they nd last spring aud summer and
they are grateful to Mr. ROOSEVELT, as
they should be. Actively or passively
they helpei elect him. Their good will
mikes 1t easier for MIN 70 be "the Presi-
don't OF tie whole country"
Mr.. ROOSEVELT is stronger at present
than The Republican party. Mr.. BRYAN
is strons enough in the Democratic
party, largely radical, TO prevent its
success when it plays conservative. Yet !
there must be and will be a conservative |
party, party not disposed to strain the |
Constitution 1t is the truth to say that
save by lip service the Democrats, be /
they Parkertes or Bryanites, have !
ceased TO worship or regard the Consti-
tuition. There are, in fact, two Fed
eralist parties, and Mr. BRYAN is Fed
eralist without knowing it.

The New York Building Trades

! Mr. STARRETT'S arraignment OF the
! parties to the complicated situation
which exists in the New York building
trades opens to public view a state of
affairs with which few have been familiar,
although many have realized its baneful
influences. That situation is an out-
growth of earlier conditions only less
complex than those of to-day. 1t is the
result Of an effort to substitute narrow
policies for sound principles
The system which has been In opera
ton during recent months may or may
not be rightly termed conspiracy, :
but unquestionably it was conceived in
selfshness, born in greed and perpet-
uated in folly From it have come loss
and suffering whose end is not yet. 1t
has brought about complication most
difficult of satisfactory adjustment and
caused injury which extends far beyond
those actively concerned in it. Employ
ers and labor unionists are about equally
culpable. The public is the victim and
the chief sufferer
The history Of the matter is long and
endlessly complex Its earlier and sim
pier stages 60 back TO a time when dis
satisfied laborers struck for higher pay,
shorter hours or easier conditions and
when dissatisfied employers locked out
their worknen Then came combina-
tionsof trade unions, sympathetic strikes
and the closed shop" Fol-, the protec-
ton of their interests contractors started
the Building TradesEmployers Assoca-
ton It's immediate opponent was the
United Board of Building Trades, organ
lied a few weeks earlier. This was in
the spring of 1902
Both sides perfected their organi2a-
tions, and after a troubled period they
came together early in July, 1903. At a
series OF conferences then held between
the Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton end the representatives Of the labor
unions there was drafted and signed a
set of agreements now known as the
Arbitration Plan. These agreements
provided, in theory at least, for the de
termination of all disputes and differ
ences by their submission TO board Of
arbitration Article VII. presents a
commendable proposition, thus:
The unions as a whole OF as a single union shah
not order any strike against member OF the
Building Trades Employers Association colIec-
lively or Individually nor shhll any number OF
union men leave the works OF a member oftho
Building Trades Employers Association. nor shall
any member Of the Building Trades Employers
ter In dispute has been brought before the general
arbitration board and settled"
This is the central feature OF the first
fourteen articles and is in all ways ex-
celcnt The articles preceding it pro-
vide, generally, for the formation and
Of the board. Those which 1
follow, up to Article XIV, provide, in
general, for its operation. Had the
matter rested there and the terms of
Article VIII. been left as the law and |
gospel of the parties Of both parts all |
might have been well.
The rock on which the whole affair |
goes to pieces lies in the unholy alliance I

reception and examination of the alleged

primarily for receiving cases of mental
disorder in the earliest stages.
1t is hoped and expected" says the re-

obviate tho stigma which now attaches to a

cases of mental disease, permanent

fore, OF the disabling severity of Man.
churian winter, and in spite of the con.
fidence said to be felt by KURoPATKIN' s
officers that, for the present, they need
apprehend no attack, we expect 10 hear
important news from the Sha River
at no distant day.
Meanwhile, the focus Of interest has
shifted from the Far East to st. Peters
burg. 0stensibly, the resignation OF
Prince SvIATopoLK .MIRsKY from the
Ministry Of the Interior and the trans
fer of that Office to NJ. WrrTE, already
President of the Council is a triumph
for the Reactionists, for 1t is known that
NJ WITTE opposed the granting at this
time of the petition Of the zemstvos for
representative government. For the
Reactionists, however, it must have
been counsel of despair that drove
them to invoke the aid Of their old enemy,
whom they we're able only with the ut
most difficulty to expel from the Ministry
Of Finance, post of trivial consequence
compared with the dictatorial powers
vested in a Minister Of the Interior.
There is no doubt that n strong and
resoute man, armed with tho almost
limitless authority OF the latter Office,
will be the real Car, so long az he re-
tains the confidence of his ostensible
master The Grand Dukes are not likely
TO forget that the only possible mode
of dislodging LoRIs MELIKoFF was by

a. regards constitutional reform are
it is as yet impossible TO say. though
it may we'll be that he has determined
that If Russia is to have Constitution,
his name shall be linked with it in history.
In the meantime, there are many things
that we do know about him. He is an
Implacable enemy OF corruption. So
long as he is master, there will be no
more shameful embezzlement in the
ordnance department, in the quarter
department, in the medical
and in the commissariat
Of the army and the navy. Every Rus
sian soldier and Russian seaman will
get what is coming to him. A great
wave of hope and confidence will sweep
over the empire when the Cars sub
ects learn that, at last, they have the
me thing that makes autocracy endur- |
lble--a strong man and an honest man

For the friends OF peace there could |
