Three Cent Tom and Col. Bryan.

Col. WILLIAM j. BRYAN is shocked
and grieved that any person should be
so heartless as to suggest the nomina-
ton of THREE CENT Tom for President
by the Democrats in 1908. 1t would be a
monstrols act, he declares to tearOhio's
noblest martyr from his sacred work in
Cleveland. THREE CENT Tom, Bryan
shouter and Mayor in Cleveland is the
right man in the right place. But
His whole nte has been one OF personal sacn-
nee in the cause of municipal reform and three cent
fares" said Mr. BRYAN. land II Is unjust TO him to
attribute personal motives to his activity In behalf
OF these causes In the Chicago municipal night"
COL BRYAN will not attribute personal

CITY WILL FEED PRISONERS.
No Need for Policemen to Go to Their Own
Pockets to DO II.

Comptroller Grout said yesterday that
there was no need for policemen to COM
tribute money to buy food for hungry
prisoners who are delayed overnight in
police stations. The circumstance which
drew this statement from him was the
contribution taken up In the Tenderloin
station to buy food for number Of Migrants
who had been arrested in Madison Square
Park on Sunday morning, and who had to
be held until the following morning because
they were arrested after the closing Of the
police courts.
When prisoners in a police station re-
quire food said Mr.. circuit, 1T should be
provided and charged to the contingent
expense account OF the Police Department
There is no legal obstacle to the payment
Of such bills, and for my own part I should
pay them with much more pleasure than
pay many OF the police expense bills. While
no specific provision is made in the budget
for feeding prisoners at the station houses
a large sum is always set aside for Police
Department contingencies. The money
from that appropriation Is paid out on
vouchers certified by tho Commissioner
There is no excuse for not providing food
for hungry prisoners out Of this fund. II
Commissioner McAdoo will issue the neces-
sary orders, there will In future, be no
reasons why prisoners should suffer for
want Of food or why policemen should buy
meals for them. Al bills for such meals,
when properly certified, will be paid by
the city"

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Substance OF Education Sacrificed for
FrOth and Fancy,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
editorial OF June ~ on the school question
was timely, pointed and accurate In Its state
ment Of conditions. THE Sun WAS the first
newspaper In New York to draw attention
to the absurdities In the public school currio-
ulum. Eighteen months ago 1t initiated
the crusade against the "fads and fancies
tsuggested by the trial OF a principal. The
non essentials had been crowding out the
three RS.
Your editorial encourages the school officers
who have no axes to grind In their effort to
bring about q reform for the benefit Of the
children for whom the schools were primarily
intended.
The synopsis OF the reform laid by the city
Superintendent's Board before President
Titfts board last week shows that we have
not struggled in vain. Without seeing the
syllabi we cannot assume that the reform Ia
genuine and not merely make believe. Much
depends upon how the superintend nts allot
the time between the essentials and the nom
essentials.

what appears to be radical change In the

Which Z?

Wherever in the State Superintendent
of 1nsurance's report on the affairs OF
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
the trail is lost and the disclosures are
vague, indefinite and unsatisfying, it is
found that the Grocery, or one OF its
patrons, is indicated.
We're the hunt pressed, would not HAIR
R1MAN be uncovered? Are the hounds
called off because HARTMAN is the
good friend, the steady customer, OF
the Grocery? Did the Grocery seek
to repay some Of its obligations to
HARTMAN by editing, suppressing and
modifying the records and the report OF
the State Insurance Department?
Many fairminded, intelligent citizens,
many policyholders in the Equitable So
ciety, are asking these questions to-day
Upon the report rendered by FRANCIS
HENDRICKS of Syracuse is the blight

a clerk in the New burgh Grocery. And
the same remark applies to Governor

English University Finances.

The financial statements Of Cambridge
and Oxford universities for the year
1904, recently published, are Of interest
in connection with the financial problems
Of our own universities. -. The Cambridge
account gives the total receipts for the
year as e42,67e. Expenditures were
s44 $50, or El,e7l more than the receipts
The total receipts were more than Ell. 900
less than those Of 1903,
Oxford did better during the year.
Her receipts for 1904 were f7O,74e and
her total expenditure only s87, 1881, leav-
ing balance on the side of income for
1904 of s3,1l5 which reduces her former
large deficit to f2,S7e,
At Oxford they are working for "a
reconstruction and consolidation of the
whole body of college and university
revenues, which should make it possible
for Oxford to be relieved from the stress
OF poverty without extraneous assist
ance." With US, if it were not for "ex-
traneous assistance enormous in the
aggregate, our colleges and universities
would be in bad way.

Tho Crisis and the Man.

How elevating and uplifting are the
efforts of that honest, patriotic, upright
gentleman the Hon. JACOB H. SCH1FF
to hold to the strict letter Of their duty
the wicked and abandoned employees
of the graceless Western Union Tele-
graph Company! No man can con-
template his disinterested zeal for the
suppression of vice, his whole hearted
devotion to the task Of clearing that
corporation Of the faint Of suspicion,
without realizing to what noble heights,
even in these degenerate days, human
nature can rise.
Truly, when the crisis called for the
man, and the Hon. JACOB y. ScHIFF,
refusing to shirk his full responsibility
determined to do his whole duty, he
answered in no uncertain voice. The
spectacle is an edifying one. Pessimists
who deplore the laxness with which
men In high place perform their func-
tions find their theories upset, their
low estimates of their fellow citizens
confuted Here is a man whose devo-
ton to the interests Of all the people
cannot be questioned, whose paramount
and self-sacrificing services to the COM
munity cannot be denied.
And what punishment is severe enough
to be visited upon those mean and petty
minds that see in the Hon. JACOB H.
SCHIFF's zeal for the suppression Of
the poolroom only herring drawn
across the trail of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society disclosures?

certain that the output Of the coal mines
will undergo remarkable expansion.
For economic, therefore, as we'll as
sentimental reasons, the reconquest OF
Sakhalin may we'll please the Mikados
subjects.
Assuming, for the sake Of argument,
that the armies OF OYAMA and LIME
WITCH will remain for number of weeks
quiescent in their present lines, we OBJ
serve that the plenipotentiaries, when
they meet in August, will have to deal
with the following situation as the basis
Of their negotiations: Russia's lease
hold territory in the Liaotung peninsula
and the island of Sakhalin will already
belong to Japan by conquest, and
large army, said to number 1907 900 men,
having been pushed forward from Corea
and interposed between Kirin and
Vladivostok, that naval fortress will
have been invested by sea and land.
As a relief OF it by LINIEvITcH is, to
all appearances, impossible, it may be
looked upon as lost. An offer on Rus
sia's part to cede what Japan already
possesses would, of course, be super
fluous. More substantial and tempting
proposals will have to be made by the
Cars plenipotentiaries. That the Japa-
nese, on their part will insist upon being
reimbursed for all the outlay rendered
necessary by the war is taken for granted
in quarters usually well informed. We
may also assume that the Toxic Govern
ment will require the surrender of all
the Russian war vessels that have been
driven to seek refuge in Pacific harbors
and have there been informed. The
complete evacuation of Chinese Man
churia, together with the surrender Of
the branch railways which traverse
that territory, will undoubtedly be pro-
nounced indispensable. AS for the ripa-
riaI province Of Ussuri, that, as we have
il1imated, may be looked upon as having
practically escheated to Japan from the
moment that its capital, Vladivostok, is
invested.
With the recovery of Sakhalin, and with
the expulsion Of the Russians from
Manchuria, Japan will haye exploded
the notion which only year and half
ago formed the text Of Senator BEvE-
RIDGES book, the notion that Russia
Never Goes Backward"

BROOKLYN'S GREAT NEED

interesting to note also that these vaults

them by permission Of the city, and by due
process OF the law that permission may be
withdrawn. 1t is merely matter OF time
when the city will take that permission

Secretary BoNAPARTE OF the Navy De-
partment, in his address to the Christian
Endeavor convention in Baltimore, spoke
of the political conditions existing to-
day in America as one who fears for
the future of the nation. In spite of his
cheering admission that majority Of the
men in the public service are honest and
competent, the tone of his address must
have convinced his auditors that Amer
lea, in his estimation is already "a Sodom
among Christian peoples If Mr.. BONA
PARTIES estimate were to be accepted
there would be genuine cause for alarm.
Really however, there is nothing to
cause the lover of the United States to-
day the slightest uneasiness. Where
dishonesty and disloyalty have been
discovered in or out Of the public SER
vice, punishment has been quick to fol-
low. No wealth, nor high name nor
political nor social influence, has been
sufficient to protect evildoers. The
courts have not failed in their duty, and
never before was the principle of equal
ity before the law more practically as
serted than it is to-day, Never before
have the people been less blind to the
evil deeds of accumulated money. Per-
haps to-day the men of wealth are held
in less esteem than has ever been the
case heretofore.
Not only in the Federal service but
also in State and municipal Governments
the citizens are demanding higher
standard of honor than ever before. In
private life the responsibilities of trus-
tees to shareholders, and to the public,
is insisted upon with a force that shows
how keen is the popular appreciation
of the necessity of honesty and fair
dealing in all tho relations of life. If
MIR. BoNAPARTE has not observed this
he is ill fitted to speak on the present
political condition in this nation.
Probably Mr.. BoNAPARTE is not MS
respondent over the situation in the
United States as his words would lead
his hearers to believe. He paints the
colors dark that the necessity of high
ideals and unccmpromsing honesty in
every department Of human endeavor
may appeal more strongly to his hearers.
And if he desires to impress this necas-
sity on the public mind, he will find the
public entirely ready to accept his coun-
sci and advice.

sUBWAY-ELEvA7ED TRANSFERS
Interb orouEh Company Increases tho Fa-

Announcement was made last evening
at the office, OF the marlborough company
that, beginning at 1901 tomorrow morning.
a general transfer system between the
subway and elevated trains at 149th street
and Third avenue will be put into effect
The elevated lines from Pelham and
fremont avenues and the subway line from
West Farms meet at this point, and on
Monday morning passengers from the
elevated lines were under the impression
that they could transfer to the subway.
They trooped down to the subway, only
to be told that the only transfers issued
were from southbound subway trains to
southbound elevated trains. Similarly, at
night residents of The Bronx going home
found that. while thew could transfer from
northbound elevated trains to northbound
subway trains at l%9th street, there we're no
transfer facilities from the subway to the
elevated.
So much confusion resulted that
1t was necessary to call upon the re-
serves from the Alexander avenue station.
The result was the general transfer system
outlined in this order:
