TROIRLE N LIE STRWAI.

Fridays accident IN the subway afforded
fresh revelation Of the incompetency of the
lnterborough company properly 10 meet emer-
@euceS which are getting TO be altogether TOO
frequent. No attempt was made to stop the
sale of tickets when il was known that the
express service had been interrupted. and. in
consequence, the station platforms were soon
dangerously crowded. In this respect the pub
lie was not treated as decently as 1t was few
weeks ago when a car was derailed between the
Bridge and Fulton street.
From the car which was actually on fire near
Fourteenth street ANA from the others in the
same train. the passengers were able IN some
way to escape Those who were on express
trains stalled above the Grand Central were
released. il is said, only after threatening 10
demol.Sh the doors of the cars. Rather than
permit the company's property to be damaged,
AT least one conductor consented to run his train
into the station. and then TO treat them as
civilized beings and not as cattle.
This circumstance shows that the company
has not Vet formulated new rules for the guild
auCe OF its employees when dangerous crises
arise but leaves tCo much 10 their discretion It
shows what may he accomplished on evidence
that the passengers intend to use force. Finally.
it shows that the passengers are likely 10 take
the matter into their own hands when badly
alarmed either for themselves or for such
among them as are delicate or nervous. Would
it not he wise for the Interb0rough company
to instruct its conductors aud guards 10 respond

mary to a reform Of its practices:

General Mils's departure from West Point
closes an administration which viii doubtless.
for a number of reasons. be memorable in the
annals of the Military Academy. His appoint
ulcnt as superintendent il may be frankly con-
frsscd without offence was surprise TO many.
probably to nobody more than 10 himself II
will he as frankly and most ungrudginGiy testi-
fed on every hand. however that its wisdom
has been amply vlndicated by his achievements.
His fulfilment of the many varied and arduous
duties of the place has been such as 10 com
mand general approval and 10 give rise to a
gratifying conviction that his appointment was
"a fortunate thing for the historic institution and
for the nation which II serves.
His superintendency will be remembered
nartlv for its uniform excellence and partly.
perhaps more consplcuousiy, for several strik-
ing features which have marked it, One of these
has been the substantial suppression OF what Is
with euphemistic vaGuencss called haZIng, which
is or was In fact disgraceful ruthanism and bru-
tality. That the legitimate and Commendabe
buovancy Of youthful spirits has been depressed
is not TO be supposed. That the common con-
ception of the department beftting IAN officer
and a gentleman even in his cadet days has
been materially and, we trust permanently ee-
waited through General Mills's tactrul but lntex-
U,le policy is not to be doubted
The late administration will also be gratefully
remembered for the fact that during II the much
needed work was begun Of rebuilding West
Point on q scale commensurate with the needs
Of the institution and in q style conSruous with
one of the noblest settings nature has anywhere
in the world provided. There can be no injus-
tice % others 70 whom credit is due in saying
that a very large share OF the praise belongs to
General Mills because of his keen appreciation
of tbe needs of the Academy, his zeal in making
tbosa needs known, his efficient earnestness in
,rg,pa that they he met at this fine on a gen
erous scale. and the general success of his ad-
,,inistra non In commenting the Academy TO the
no+ica the confidence and the afectionate regard
Of the nation.
Il Is probable, indeed, that General Millss
superintendency Of West Point will be most
cencraIlr and most gratefully remembered for
this last mentioned achievement. West Point
has always been we'll esteemed by the Amer
lean people though by no means always COM
mensuratelv with its services aud its deserts.
General Mills has certainly made no effort and
has had 10 desire To advertise CT to exploit the

on having.
There are two other facts which indicate Eng
lands ability 20 maintain her naval supremacy.
She was the first country TO act on the lessons
OF the recent war between Japan and Russia.
She iS the only country in the world that has
been able 10 build bis battleship in less than
year. The keel Of the Dreadnought was laid
last October, aud she i 10 have her sea trials
during the current month. It does not seem
probable that nation which shows such enter
prise will allow herself soon to be cclpsed by
any rival. no matter how alert and energetic
