RAILROADS AND HIGHWAY BONDS.

That q part of the proposed 100000 bond
issue for the improvement Of the states hlg1-

her of railroad men. in case the concurrent
resolution amending the constitution is carried

Will work a great benefit, 1t will undoubtedly

Importance.
The state appropriations for several years for
the elimination of grade crossings have aver
aged 100000 annually, and of the money voted
for this purpose in the last three years $175000
has gone into the work in Schenectady, which
calls for the expenditure Of S1o0oO0O, one
fourth of which, under the general law, must

railroads are private corporations and are oper-

supervisory control Of state oficials-their pas

law and the compulsory payment of one-half

4 PILL AND ITS COATING.

Some of the Citizens Union men are already
beginning to worry over what will happen II,
through their failure to do effective WORK
against Tammany Mr.. Murphy secures four
wears lease of power. They understand per-
fectly well that Mr.. Mcclellan is not really run
ming for Mayor, but is entering upon trial
heat for Governor. They see that if this plan
succeeds Mr.. Murphy will have three years OF
honest graft untempered by those personal
good qualities in Mr.. Mcclellan which are held
ont to the voters as an offset to Tammany's
natural disposition toward corruption Mr. Cut

but even he cannot forget that the sugar coat
ing of the Tammany pill may easily melt off,
leaving NEWCOMERS TO endure an exceedingly
bitter dose So casting about for some outlet
to their bubbling reservoir of reform zeal, mem
bers of the Citizens Union propose to secure
legislation next winter giving them a chance
for another election if Mayor Mcclellan should
be reelected and then promoted to the Gov
ernorship.
That is characteristic of one type of reformer.
He is not ready to take off his coat to defeat
Tammany to-day. If he cannot have his own
way exactly, he prefers to let Tammany WIN
while he is planning some reconcile scheme Ior
fighting him tomorrow Every man who fears

against Tammany The notion Of sitting down
now and failing to give the strongest possible
support to the leading candidate against Tam
many. no matter by whom nominated, in the
hope of clipping the Tigers claws hereafter by
legislation, is supreme folly.
If the people of New-York do not want a
Tammany President of the Board of Aldermen

him. They know what the election involves

IN ERA OF PROSPERITY.

There are signs on every hand these days OF
overlooking national prosperity. The United
States is to harvest this year the biggest corn
cron II has ever grown and the biggest wheat
crop IN its history, with one exception. Our ex-
ports and imports will break all records. Immi-
grafton is reaching new high water mark Our
iron and steel output will be the largest ever
known and we shall touch a new high level in
coal production. 1t was announced the other
day that postal receipts for 1904'05 had ex-
ceeded those for 10000 by $10O00OO0 The
Postoffice Departments money order business
showed gain for the year Of 20 per cent-an
unerring evidence OF widely difused prosperity.
Now come Dun's and Bradstreets reports on
commercial failures in the United States for the
first nine months of 1905 to testify to steadily
improving trade conditions.
Both agencies emphasize the marked decrease
not so much In the number Of failures as in the
totals of liabilities reported The insolvencies
noted by Dun for the period mentioned were
$500, with liabilities of &c., 34. 2O6 Brad
street reports 7431 failures, with liabilities Of
$50, 96O,745. According to one authority, there
was decrease in insOlvenceS compared with
19O-alsO a prosperous year-of per cent.
According to the other there was a decrease of
89 per cent; but in liabilities there was de-
cline estimated by one agency at 80 per cent
and by the other at 21.6 per cent. Possibly it
l6 falr TO say mat there mas been q decrease or
Is per cent in the volume OF bankrupt liabilities.
This is highly significant improvement, and
inasmuch as for the last three months the ratio
of decrease has been noticeably larger than in
the six months period from January to June 1t
will be seen that business conditions on DC
tOber l were exceptionally promising AS
'Dun'S Review" puts it: These statistics OF
mercantile mortality are probably as faithful
in depicting the condition of business as the
less negative records of bank exchanges and
railway earnings, which tell a similar story"
In the last three or four years we have heard
much talk of an ebb in national prosperity We
have seen here in New-York two or three tenn
porary crashes in stOcks-panics of the rich
mans" variety. We have suffered not little
from the overissue of overvalued securities; but
these disturbances have been ephemeraI and
wholly on the surface. Industrial and CONNER
cial development has not been impeded by these
"popgun" shocks, and the country at large has
gone ahead absorbed in it's work and Indifferent
TO the havoc played from time TO time with
paper values. Good times have not failed and
show no signs of failing On the contrary, there
is every evidence that the next two or three
years will see a marked acceleration in our in
dustriaI growth and a greater diffusion than
ever Of material prosperity

THE ELIMINATION OF ADDICKs.

The elimination of J. Edward Addicks from
Delaware politics may prove somewhat
tedious process but 1t is encouraging to note
that practical beginning has been made ana
that the burden of obstructing union OF the
two Republican factions on an anu-Addlcks
platform has now been transferred squarely 10
Mr. Addickss shoulders Hitherto the ex-gas
magnate securely dominating the majority fac
ton. has fought as it were. from the inside.
He has been willing to agree to amalgamatlon
and common primaries because he knew that
the Union Republicans could outvote the Du
Pont Republicans. He has for years controlled
majority of the Republicans elected to the
state legislature, and, if joint caucus had been
held he would have been nominated and elected
United States Senator. He was for fusion, be-
cause fusion would have meant Senatorship
on his own terms.
To-day the Union Republican organization is
rent into two sub-factions. One. headed by Sen
ator Alice, is tired of fighting Addckss losing
battles and wants to shelve him a leader
who has run his race and had his day. 1t re-
CARDS him as a disturbing factor-a hopeless
clog on party success 1t is ready to send him
to Coventry-to sacrifice him to party mar
mony and the public good. ]. Edward, how
ever. is not willing to be led to the slaughter.
He didn't 60 into politics to practise altrulsm-
to be turned loose as a scapegoat for the com
munity'S convenience. be is not impressed by
the proposition that he shall abdicate as the
price of peace. But If he will not embrace
martyrdom it looks as If martyrdom would be
thrust upon him. At the recent meeting of the
Union Republican State Committee in Dover
he was outman9uvred, If not outvoted- The
committee divided nine to nine on the ques-
ton of naming conferrees to meet conferreeS
appointed by the other Republican faction
Finally, Eve names were agreed on, with the
full consent of both the Addicks and the Alice
following But when the conference committee
met it was found that it stood three for re-
pudiating Addicks to two for adhering Loyalty
to his fortunes. Senator Alice made the
chairman of the body, and Addicks thereupon
withdrew as a member, announcing that he
could not associate with Judas Iscariot."
The position of Addicks has accordingly been
greatly weakened He no longer controls the
organization which he created, and If he can
not regain control his fate is sealed. For out
side that organization he can look for neither
sympathy nor support in his efforts to es-
cape the sentence of attainder and proscrip-
