THE RrLG4RS ~ TTRKEY. =

From the beginning Of the Turkish revolu-
ton. and indeed. from the beginning OF the
foreign Intervention in Macedonia, which was
one Of the strongest compelling and inducing
causes of that revolution. il has been evident
that the policy pursued by the Rulgars must
he regarded as one OF the most important
ia actors in the problem. Those restless. amb-
tious and intrepid people have for full gen
era ton produced more agitation in the Ralkan
Peninsula than sll others put together. largely

recent years 10y the notorious Boris Sarafof
and his committees there would he little
hope for the easy working ont Of the bene-
fcent program Of the Young Turks
Happilv we now have some assurance that
the Bulgars will not he ohstreperous or Oh
structive. but will cordially cooperate with
the Young Turks and others in the effort to
rnhahilitate the empire. large and inhuen-
tfa1 RuIpar club st Salonica has just adopted
and published n political platform which IT
is expected will he generally adopted by smi-
lar clubs throughout Macedonia. This pro
nouncament declares. il is true. for the pres

tional culture: which ia simply 10 say that
Rulgars shall retain their language and GUS

Acknowledgement of the empire will he ahan-
doned and that instead Of trying 10 annex

vote their energies to developing 1t as an in

That is unquestiOnably the part of wisdom.
Beside the consideration that any other
course would almost hOpelcssly complicate and
emharrase thc revolution which is now so
auspiciou<ly established it Is difficult TO see
how in any case any substantial good could
be gained by persisting in efforts TO make
Macedonia Bulgarian. There are of course,
many Rulgars in those provinces, but they are,
after all minority The Greeks Arnauts,
Turks and others are entitled, man for man, 10
as much consideration the Bugars, and
there are more of them. If sovereignty In
Macedonia were exercised by any one Of these
races there would be inCessant trouble with
the others The only promising course is for
them all TO be content TO remain under the
various racial components of other composite
realms The resolution of the Bulgars OF Sa-
Ionica to pursue this reasonable course Is one
Of the most reassuring and hopeful signs of
the times in that quarter of the world.
New-York tribune., 1908-09-14

The Republican party makes appeal to pub
lie confidence as the most important political
agency for conservation and for progress. BY
virtue of its achievements. it's leadership and
its aims it stands forth efficient instru-
n1ent for strong and capable administration, as
a safeguard of stability and of the prosperity
which depends upon stability. and as an un-
rvaled power for the correction of abuses. 1t
stands in striking contrast to tho record II
vaeilation and ineptitude presented by tho chief
opposing party. That opposing party proffers
candidacy which is at once a monument and a
ouidepost. Il rnemoriaiiizes the faacies and un-
safe policies we asked TO forget, and it points
the way to business uncertainty ard to the i'm
pairnent of the confidence which is the security
of industry and trade.-Governor Hughes. at

ANOTHER DAMi

Strong arguments will probably be needed to
convince this public of the necessity or the de
sirablity from a public point of view OF the
construction OF another mammoth reservoir in
the Croton region, especially under the direc-
ton Of the Aqueduct Commission Years ago,
when the yield OF the Croton River greater
than il is now. the most expert engineers eSti-
mated that the new Croton dam at Cornell
would impound practically all the water of that
stream and there has since occurred or ap-
prared nothing to cause a reversal of thai iudg-
ment. Some months ago it is true, a consider
able quantity OF water escaped over that dam
as ii result of an exceptional period and degree
of precipitation. But nobody familiar with the
Crot0n expects that 10 happen often. On the
contrary. there is ample reason To assume that
rinc-tenths of the time the water line of CrotOn
| lake will be far below the level of the Cornell
Spilway.
Already since the Cornell dam was under
Iaken-prElence forbids TO say since il was

II is hard 20 bring order out of the chaotic mass
of conflicting facts disclosed by study OF cur
rent events in the security market. Prices OF
the sixty most active railway stocks averaged
bjeher last week than any time since the
manic and showed actual advance Of SO
share as compared with the corresponding date
In 1901 Yet during that time gross earnings
have averaged fully 20 per cent less. and even
with the strictest economy in operation the loss
in net earnings has been heavy. Many divi-
dends were passed reduced. and the situation
was further complicated by the proximity OF
Presidential election. Most financial experts at
tribute the level OF prices to manipulation, al
though modifying the statement by adding that
Wall Street always discounts the future. and
present high quotations represent the values
that will follow an early return TO general pros

the artificial rise by the big interests. but main

can be increased by building other dams further
up the stream and along its tributaries Either
this new project would be void of public value
or else expert engineers estimates of the Cornell
dam have been So faulty as to be ridiculous
ana TO vitiate with hopeless suspicion any other
which may be made concerning Croton hydral-
lies.
As for the naive observation that the pro
posed work could be done for $3.250,00. and
could be finished in n couple of seasons and
thus bc ready for use years before water could
be got from the Caskis. it will provoke chiefly
sentiments of weariness and derisiOn in the
minds of those who recall the former achieve
ments of the Aqueduct Commission, which now
wants 10 undertake this enterprise. Judging
by the performances on the Cornell dam. we
should say that under exceptionally favorable
conditions optimistic people might hope 10 get
this new dam and reservoir built for not more
than three or four times the present estimate
of cost and to see ii finished about five arS
after the completion Of the Catskil system.

children of the present property holders at Pat

THE TICKET SPECTATOR.

The Theatre Managers Association having
pbegun vigorous agitation for the suppression
of sidewalk ticket spectators, there may be
Ia raw of hope of diminishing nuisance which
New York theaueg0ers have too long endured
FThe association intends TO ask the Board Of
Aldermen to cancel the licenses under"the pro-
section of which the ticket brokers occupy tue
sidewalks IN front Of the theatres and other
places of amusement and nightly annoy the
t,rlblic with their solicitations. Were il not for
5sheir licenses they could be dealt With as OBJ
sSstr1lctors of free passage along the street and
free ingress 10 the theatres But the powers
that be in the Board of Aldermen continue to
shield them by giving their calling official an
i1roval.
We do not see that any necessary or useful
service is performed by these sidewalk brokers
They make irregular and extortionate charges
FOR tickets and persons who deal with them
dispense with the safeguards thrown around
the sale OF tickets at the theatre box Office or
al some established ticket bureau The theatre
management often repudiates the sidewalk
agent and refuses 10 make good his contracts
III may be said that only inexperienced or fool
ssh 1heatregoers take his wares at his exorbi-
1aHt rates. and that they deserve no protection
but the manner in which he does business Is an
offence 10 the public which does not want lo
deaf with him aud which cannot escape his
inlporfunltles. His elimination would inJure
lo one and would be a decided step toward be-
fer order aud greater public comfort.
The patrons of the New York theatres have
undoubtedly felt aggrieyed at the extent f"
which speculation IA tickets has been carries.

houses have been turned over TO the hot@l

ARE THERE "NO EXCUSES"g

schools open to-day $1,000 children out of
total Of 6GOOOO will he without seats. and others
must share places with them on part time. This
IS the usual situation this time in the year.
and we do not call attention to it particularly
to find fault with the Mayor for its existence,
but to remind him Of his promise and to bring
to the public mind again what he said when
he was seeking office regarding the part time
classes under his predecessor: NO excuse. no
splitting Of hairs. apologies from Mr. Low

"can be accepted by the people"
Is there no excuse for the Mayors failure

say that before the year is over several new
buildings will be opened and the present condi-
ton will be partly relieved? Is it fair TO say
this year, as Mr.. Mcclellan said of the part time
children under his predecessor, that they are
denied the inherent right Of an elementary
education?
