ANOTHER BOSTON SUBWAY.

Boston, Jan. 2o.-Reprcsentativo Ben
nett yesterday introduced the petition for
subway and tunnel from Park street to
the junction Of Beacon street, Common
wealth avenue and Brooklne avenue. to
accommodate all cars from places lying

The proposed route Of the subway is
from Park street to a point near the Union
Boat club. thence under the Charles river
embankment in the rear Of Beacon street
to the Fenway, thence under the Fonwa y
10 the terminal at the junction point above
mentioned.
The reasons for the INTRODUCTION Of the
bill are that something be done to i'm
prove transit facilities cast and west.
and that a. this time tho cost Of building
such a subway would nc comparatively
slight on account OF the excavation for
the Cambridge subway and the construc-

SENATOR BAILEY'S CASE.
(From the Kansas city Journal. Re

Qrom the Kansas City Journal. REM
Unless his figures are woefully inaccu-
rate Senator Bailey seems absolutelysure
to be reelected to the Senate at the meet
Ing Of the Texas Legislature next month.

the only things that could change the re-
suit would be an unexpected revulsion o.

and insulting denunciation Of men, lead

Quoted tho fight against him. Texans are
proverb!ally fiery and quick to shoo,
while public sentiment In the State sus-
ains the settlementof personal differences
with arms and so it + not 4 violent as
sumption 10 suppose that some Of the men
whom Bailey has called id liars and
Infamous scoundrels" may resent his in
suits. Bailey, himself. anticipates such a
contingency and goes armed in daily ex-
pectation of being attacked Ii he escapes.
it Will go to show that Texas has changed
it's ways nightly
However, even though Bailey succeeds
in avoiding a fatal encounter and is given
another term in the Senate, his usefulness
to the public and his own fame are serl-
ously impaired. His election will be due to
the fact that ne had no opposition in the
primaries, inwhich practically all the can
ddates for the legislature were instructed
for him. before the exposure of hts rela-
tons with the Standard Oh magnate. II.
Clap Pierce, Even now II Is possible that
II u strong man were to come out against
him he might be beaten in Suia of tho in
structions previously given FOR there is no
doubt that TeXas's faith in him has un-
dergone great change.
Senator Bailey's case is an apt illustra-
ton Of the aphorsm that pride goes before
a fall. The testimony does not show that
he has done anything wrong In itself. but
he assumed such a lofty virtue in regard
to the propriety of public man having
corporate connections, and, IN fact, in all
other matters, that the exposure Of his
having been guilty OF the very things he
condemned in others makes his sin almost
objectionable.
