No STOPP4GE N GROWTH.

Says The New York World in giving rea-
sons for the apparent stagnaton in regiStra
ton this year: The first and SaddeSt and most
obvious is that New York is not growing Our
neighbOr holds that there should he 755.OO0
voters registered in this city Instead there are
only 6S2.O00.
We do not think that registration of 6S2,0OD
shows cessation in the city's growth. 1t must
be remembered that New York has Il large alien
popula ton. which counts for nothing for regis
trati0n purposes. In 1909 the city's population
in round numbers 100000. At the rate
of progress maintained since 1900 the total for
1908 should be about $4,000 In cities the
ratio of voters to population is hetweeIl ; 10 l
and To l. \ population Of 100000 should,
under ordinary circumstances. yield abOnt
10000 voters. But in 1908 the aliens in New
York City numbered at least 10000 New York
and Kings counties having 1892 The native
and namralized population in 1903 there
fore only 3.12J.o0O and is now proba bly, not
more than 3,400,000. At the ratio of d. to !
the voting population to-day ought not 10 be
over 626000 At the ratio Of = 10 ! it ought
TO be 6S0,OG0-withiu 1000 Of the registration
of 1908. The true explanation of the apparent
stagnatOn of registration this year is that the
voting lists were padded in 1906 and in 1904.

THE 5oTH S+REET TRANSFERS.

The agreement between the Third Avenue
Railroad Company and the 53th street Hhe 10
issue transfers between the two systems, WHICH
Is exnected 70 result from the order OF the Pub
lie Service Commission will be victory for
the commission and also for good sense Inc
59th street company has seen plainly enough
that If has no reason for existence except as
line offering competitions with up and down
lines. and Mr. Whitridge. the receiver of the
Third Avenue company. was quick to perceive
the advantage to his system of a crosstown CON
nection at 59th street Thus in the apparent
readiness of both companies to adopt transfer
plan is the real value Of transfers TO the street
railway companies recognized. and that Is some
thing in these days, when counsel for the Met
ropoitan system are openly threatening to do
away with all transfers.
1t may be that the readiness Of Mr.. Whitridge
to incorporate into his system by transfer ar
rangements any lines dropped by the Metro
politan which would strengthen the Third Ave
nue. and enable it to enter the territory of the
Metropolitan and serve larger number of the
people of this city will tend to check the dis
Indignation of the Metropolitan and the cutting
off from it of additional crosstown lines. An
arrangement between the Third Avenue and the
59th street lines was not unexpected. for when
the Metropolitan system threw up its lease Mr..
Whitridge expressed a readiness to enter into
an agreement with the crOsstown line. At that
time however. its owners were unwilling to
accept his suggestion.
BY the new agreement, however, adj the =
fences will be stripped off the allegation that
transfers wrecked the surface railroads of this
city The Third Avenue company recognized
at once that transfers to the 59th street
line. instead of further impoverishing it, would
strengthen it against its rival The passengers
who are transferred from one of these systems
10 the other will be carried for considerably less
than five cents, condition which little while
ago was proclaimed TO he ruinous to the trac-
ton companies; but that does not deter BON
companies from entering into the arrangement
and feeling it to b. advantageous
