~ HUNGARIAN REVOLCTIOS.

The result OF the Hungarian election may be
described, in a phrase not so contradictory as
il seems, as startling, but not surprising. 1t is
beyond doubt startling TO hear that the Lib
eral party has been defeated for the first time
in nearly forty years; that is to say, for the
first time since the dual system was founded
In that there are Unreasonable possibilities. II
amounts to a political revolution. If the con-
etitutional practice of the kingdom is main
tanned, and the majority in Parliament governs
the country, there is no telling what NAV hap
pen. The relations between Hungary and Aus
tria may be at stake. and it is no exaggera ton
to say that material change in them might
affect all Continental Europe. The salient fact
is that, while for nearly forty years there has
been practical continuity of policy, at least in
international affairs, there is now a menace of
reversal Of policy. That, with all the implied
possibilities, is assuredly startling
Nevertheless, it is not surprising. On the con-
trary, there would have been cause for surprise
II the government had won. We need not de-
pend upon the old saying that the pitcher
which goes to the well too often is certain
TO get broken. There were strong indications
that the government would suffer defeat in this
election. Never before in Hungarian history had
party passions run SO high. Ia the capital it
self women OF fashion and social leadership
leagued themselves together to boycott all
tradesmen who supported the government. In
Transylyania for the first time the Rumanians,
three million strong, organized themselves in op-
position 10 the government. All over the king
dom the Opposition was alert, active. aggres-
sive Men Of the most widely different opin-
ions and policies, such as Kossuth Apponyi,
Polonyi and Andrassy. united on the one COM
ground Of opposition to the Tfsza govern
ment. 1t would have been strange had they
not won.
What next will happen II would be rash to
predict II some OF the utterances OF Opposi-
ton leaders just before election were fulfilled
literally, the dual system would be dissolved
and the King would be asked TO abdicate or
would be deposed. That would be an unspeak-
able catastrophe for Europe, and we cannot
believe it will occur. There is a traditional
saying that, while it is easy for the Opposition
TO find fault 1t is a different thing for il TO
correct those faults when X has a chance II
Is doubtful TX even the most extreme followers
of Sir. Kossuth win now venture to seek such
radical change Of affairs as they have been
proposing. Moreover, IL must be borne in mind
that the Opposition Is divided into several fac
uons some or which are intensely hostile IN
one another They have worked together tn de-
feat the government, but it does not seem nos
sible that they win continue TO work together
In constructive legislation and responsible adj
IniRistrauon. II they do. II the followers Of
Mr. Kossuth and of Count Apponyi. for e.-
ample, work together, II win almost certainly
be upon such basis Of concession and com
promise ss viii rob the Opposition programme

ing for them has been done in a manner at once
costly TO the city and burdensome and exasper-
ating to the former owners of the lands Ihere
is no injustice I'm saying that the major part of
the suspicion, resentment and antagonlsm 1et
by the country people against New-1or CITY In
this matter is a direct result OF the conduct or
that commission. For the good or the city the
commission should go out Of existence with the
completion of the work upon which 1t is now
actually engaged-if il ever is completed. The
new works should be intrusted TO new commits
sion that will play politics" less and do more
work for the city's water supply. Such conf
mission as that proposed in the city's pending
bill at Albany would probably be about the best
that could be devised 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that that bill as a whole viii be enacted At
any rate there should be some provision under
which the city can have better management OF
its water system than that which has for years
prevailed at Croton Dam.

WATER SUPPLY BUYGLIYG.

Ii IS an unpleasant and unwelcome thing 10
say, but il is the simple truth that the latest
developments in the problem of New-York's
water supply strongly indicate most deplor-
able laundering upon the part of the munich
PAL authorities. There was blundering last
year, as we have repeatedly pointed out in not
accepting and acting upon the Governors sug-
gestion III the Duchess County case. Had the
city done so. il would probably have secured
the water privileges 1t had been seeking in
Dutchess County, and it certainly would have
vind!cated its own good faith Failing 10 do SO,
II left itself excluded from the most desirable
OF al water supplies, and iR addition suffered
and etill suffers, a self-inficted imputation
against its own good faith. If rural commun-
ties now doubt the intent OF this city TO deal
with them justly, that is. we must say frankly,
largely because of the city's failure 10 make its
informal promises good in a formal and bind
ing manner.
Now comes another piece Of laundering The
city has unaceountably delayed 10 make such
extensions Of its water system in Westchester
and Putnam counties as II has for many years
been legally entitled 10 make until now it IS
confronted with the menace Of such change of
law as viii forfeit its right 10 such extensions,
and thus deprive it OF some OF the benefits
which Il should derive from the tedious and
enormously costly works which IL has so long
been executing IN that region. A bill thus de-
barring 81 has actually been introduced at Al
beny and seems likely TO be pressed. and now,
as our news columns indicate there must be q
breathless race between the city authorities and
that bill, the former striving If possible 10
establish their existing rights by practically act
Ing upon them before The bill for their forfeit
ure can be enacted. Tor the good OF the city
we sincerely hope it viii win the race: but If II
should not, and II II should presently ind itself
inhibited from completing its plans in the Gro
ton region. tGe responsibility and the blame for
that catasrophe--for Il would be nothing less
would rest directly upon the municipal authori-
ties who have so inexcusably delayed entry upon
this essential work Many months ago. before
Tie bill in question was introduced and before
the legislature met those extensions of the Gro
Ton system should have been so far put into ef
feet as 10 make Interference with them irnpos.

Another most unsatisfactory feature Of fbe
present situation IS the suggestion that the ex.
isting AQneduct Commission may be continued
IN Office TO have charge OF the further extensions

make them. We have no Hesitation In saving

A l[TNICIPAL MUSEEN.

There is TO be opened next month in Chi
cago a Municipal Museum. At the outset 1t
will show again, and In more congenial sur
roundings than afforded by even the so-called
Model Street which was q feature of the st.
Louis fair. the municipal exhibits of the ex-
position. This is appropriate for the Municipal
Museum is direct outgrowth of the interest
shown In the st. Louis exhibits of cities. Later
on the museum will realize the purpose of its
foundation by becoming permanent home for
displaying the progress Of American and proba-
bly, also of foreign. cities. 1t makes an inter
esting and needed addition TO the list of exhi-
bitions.
word may be said of the foundation of the
museum This Is explained at some length in
The Boston Transcript" by Professor George
z. Vincent, of the University Of Chicago who
has taken q special interest in the museums
establishment The original suggestion came,
have many ideas for better Chicago, from
Miss Jane Adams, of Hull House. Brought
before a committee, the scope Of the project
was broadened to include not only housing ex
hibts, but whatever bore municipal admin
istration and development. OF the committee
Mayor Harrison accepted the honorary chair
manship, and among the members were the
president of the Art Museum. the president OF
the Public Library and the secretary Of the
City Club. For the temporary exhibition the
exhibits of Chicago, shown under twelve dtviS-
ions, will be supplemented by those of many
American and of nineteen European cities. The
Public Library houses the collection In one Of
its unused rooms and it is hoped to make the
museum a factor in the school, club and official
life Of the city
The idea of municipal exhibit, though novel
to this country, has had successful trial in Eu-
rope. y few years ago Belgian cities, under
the stimulus Of q remarkable national society
to further municipal art, held an exhibition OF
artistic street furnishings, advertisements and
signs. At the Paris Exposition of 1900 the ex-
pertinent was repeated on a large scale, and
year ago last summer there was held in Dresden
an exhibition that attracted international at
tention though it drew it's exhibits only from
the municipalities of Germany. 1t is COM
parativeIy new idea with us that municipal
progress can be helpfully shown by plans,
charts and models, but it is an idea that has
taken strong hold The Chicago fair contained
no such exhibits, and even at st. Louis the mu-
ncipal section was presented in a tentative,
half-hearted way. But its exhibits proved ex-
ceedingly popular and clearly suggested that
comprehensive and painstaking classification
would bring out educate possibilities of
great value.
Since it has been announced that Chicago Is
to have Municipal Museum a meeting has
been held in Boston 10 consider the establish
ment of one there. New-York, where such
museum would be suggestive more widely, per-
haps, than anywhere else, should not be behind
these other cities.
