OPENING THE STMPLOy.

The ceremonies at Brieg, in Switzerland, yes,
terday wOrthily celebrated an event of inter-
national Importance. Traffic will not be begun
through the Simplon tunnel before September. it
is announced, but it is not necessary to wait
until that time to recognize formally the fact
that this new highway through the Alps is now
virtually completed Indeed, the demonstration
might have been made with propriety at almost
any time during the last fifteen months Work
men who approached from opposite directions
met in the tunnel in February, 1905. They thus
established the success with which the pro-
gramme of the engineers had been executed.
Until that stage in the history of such an en-
terprise is reached there must always be much
uncertainty about the result Even a slight
deviation from the prescribed course would in
yolve costly alterations TO restore the grade or
the dlrectness Of the route. The longer tunnel
is, obviously the greater the risk OF partial fail
ure. When 1t once Is evident that no such
mistake has been made the crisis is past The
widening OF the passage, the levelling Of the
floor, the laying Of track and the provision of
the requisite rolling stock are mere matters OF
detail.
Readers of The Tribune are already so famil
lar with most of the significant features Of the
Slmplon tunnel that IL Is hardly necessary IN
recount them. Though fully twelve miles In
length, ,it was constructed in much less time
than shorter works OF the same kind. If will
be ready for service 10 less than eight years

/ V!cTORY FOR THE PORT CHESTER ROAD.
! After encountering an amount of opposition
which would have discouraged many other men,
! the hackers of the Port Chester railway project
have at last secured the privilege of entering
New York City. Their plans were approved
several years ago by the State Railroad Com
mission. but ii was necessary to obtain The
sanction of the municipal authorities also be-
fore route could be laid out in the Borough
of The Bronx. The Board Of Aldermen which
then, had a voice in such matters, refused its
consent with persistence that was discredit-
able in the extreme. The long coveted consent
is now accorded by the Board of Estimate
with which the sole power to act has recently
been lodged. the prompmess of the decision
admirably illustrating the excellence of the
enactment which facilitates the execution Of
really deserving enterprises.
AS originally planned, the Port Chester road
was to include four tracks two for express
service), and was to be operated by electricity.
1t was 10 parallel the main line of the New
Haven road from the Connecticut boundary to
the vicinity of New Rochelle and Mount Vernon.
From that point southeastward it was expected
to follow the Harlem Branch" of the New
Haven system, terminating very nearly where
the latter does on the north shore of the HGr-
lem, not far from Third avenue. It's total length
was to be a little over twenty miles 1t was
proposed TO run expresses fast enough to trav.
erSe that distance in something like 25 to so
minutes, and it was hoped eventually to. make
a connection with a subway that would carry
passengers to the City Hall seven miles fur
ther) in fifteen minutes more Already a cir
euitous route to the lower part of the city is
afforded by the LenOx avenue extension of
the Interborough system from West Farms, in
The Bronx Thus it is feasible to-day to reach
Brooklyn Bridge, and even the Battery, from
the line of the new road for a single five-cent
fare, but too much time would be required for
the trip 10 encourage transfer Of traffic to the
subway from more distant localities. If Il four
track subway is ever constructed under Lex
ington, Third or Second avenue to the Harlem
the dream Of the projectors of the Port Ches-
ter road will be quickly realized. Until that
time the most expeditions way Of getting down
town from Harlem River will he the Third
avenue elevated road.
The Port Chester road was designed to fur
nish better service to those suburbs of the
metropolis which rely on the New Haven road
for transportation than has hitherto been af-
forded. 1t is not unjust to say that there
has been distinct need Of Improvement The
present management of the New Haven system
has made some changes to crafty its suburban
patrons 1t proposes to better its facilities still
further in the next year or two by the use of
electricity for traction purposes. Perhaps the
stimulus Of threatened competition may in
duce the old road to meet the popular demand
in advance of actual rivalry. It doubtless could
afford to do So for there will be plenty Of
business for both roads in coming years

THE GAS RITE INJUNCTION.

1t IS certainly the right of the gas companies
TO test the S0-cent rate if they believe it is
confscatory. No one can with any reason find
fault with them for taking into the United
States Court their case against the state la,y
and the order of the Gas Commission. Anv out
cry against their proceeding is in effect. an
appeal 10 lynch law. 1t is true that legislative
nommittee and the State Gas Commission after
rareful examination into the cost of manufact-
IRE and distribution. have both held that the
bO-cent rate left fair margin for profit Their
judgment. however is not conclusive II the
case Of the gas companies was inadequately
presented or improperly judged, and if as they
assert, gas cannot be profitaby manufactured
and sold at that figure, then they should have
the right 10 establish the fact And it is lust
as much in the public interest as in their inter
Est that the fact be established. if fact it is.
The people want gas at a reasonable rate. but
they do not ask and should not have something
TOR nothing. The guarantees of the Constitu-
non are meant TO protect property owners from
Just such coniiscatOry measures in. obedience

tns eO-cent law is. We hope and believe that
they are mistaken. The presumption is in favor

4GAINsr "TAINTEn noNEY.n

There is one kind Of money which is really
tainted" and against which there is on that
account general and well founded prejudice
That is the paper currency which is not NOR
ally, but materially, tainted, through long use
much handling and storage in a variety Of
places of more or less uncleanliness. We do
not know that anybody ever positively refuses
to accept such money. though it is always in
order to protest against bill that is too tat
tered and reeking for respectability We are
not convinced, either, that everybody who ac-
cepts a worn and soiled bill is in imminent
danger of dying forthwith from a complication
of tetanus, tuberculosis and bubonic plague.
though we have no doubt that diseases are oc-
caSlOnally conveyed through such a medium
But from the point of view of health of
cleanliness of decency and of the looks Of the
thing, there ought to be a reform of our c1,r
rency on the lines of the pending legislation in
Congress and of the report which the Treas
urer of the United States has Just made rnon
the subject. The Treasurer we observe. does
not altogether approve Of any of the three pend.
ing bills. but thinks the good features of all
should be Incorporated in one That NAV he
though there are many who will not agree with
him in thinking it too drastic to order that all
bills returned to the Treasury for redemption
shall be destroyed and replaced with new ones
Such system might cause the destruction of
many bills which were scarcely soied. but, on
the other hand, less stringent measure might
keep in circulation many which were physically
vile.
Mr.. Treat is quite right in arguing that it
would cost so little to replace worn money
with clean that the expense is a negligible fac
tor. The credit of the country requires that our
circulating medium shall be such that nobody
will feel that it should be handled with toDgs
1t Is our boast that our money is always and
everywhere worth its full face value We ought
also 10 be able to boast that it is kept as Clean
physically, as it is possible to do. Dirty money
is not SO bad as deprecated money, but il Is
too bad for self-respecting nation to tolerate
Congress will do itself and the country credit
by enacting good, strong law on this sub
ject
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

from, the commencement Of blasting. whereas the
st Gothard tunnel required nearly nine and
half years and the Mont Cents tunnel thirteen
TO reach the same degree of perfection. New
methods OF reducing the temperature of the ah
were employed while the hole through the SIM
plOn was being excavated and in that manner
the sacrifice Of life from intense beat was greatly
reduced. When suitable connections are made
in France as we'll as in Switzerland ana ltaiy'
the time from Northern Europe to the MedlteF-
ranean will be considerably lessened. One elect
of this will undoubtedly be Gn improvement OF the
mail schedule between England and India. Let
ters from London for Bombay go across the con
tinent of Europe to Brindisi, where they are
transferred to the steamers of the Peninsular
and Oriental Line.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the
new tunnel is that the railroad through it will
be operated with electricity from the very out
set. For that feature there is probably no
precedent In the United States and elsewhere
there are numerous tunnels in which electricity
las displaced steam. but that is an entirely olH-
ferent matter. Besides the road through tine
tunnel will be only link in an extensive sys-
TEN of electric roads in both Italy and Switzer-
land. Here perhaps is the most revolutionary
characteristic OF the whole work.
