the size Of the car and, to certain ex-

Historical Floats.
From the \

From the New York World.
The half hundred historical floats which
are to be a feature of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration will graphically depict the
citys development from the Indian
through the Dutch and colonial periods to
the present time. They will form a
striking panorama of municipal progress.
Yet as regards their historical signifi-
canoe the man in the street watching the
pageant pass has seen more real history
in the making during a brief lifetime
than will be represented by these tab
leaux Of Indian chiefs and colonial gov
errors. A modern mayor of New York
in a single administration helps to make
more real history than was made by all
Manhattan's Dutch and English govern
ors combined. Thanks to the better con-
ception of what history is which we owe
to a new breed of historians, 1t Is not
the kings and captains who make a ma
TONS history They are but pawns in
game in which wars are effects rather
than causes. 1t is not what Peter Stuy-
vesant did that constitutes the history of
the infant metropolis, but what the peo-
pie were doing under his governOrship,
what their mode OF life was and what
social and political changes they were in
f1uencing.

Street Car CroWdin1.

Judge Mullowny's decision that the gen.
eral provisions Of the act Of May q. 1908,
are not sufficient as basis for the prose-
cution Of the local street railway COM
panies for overcrowding is doubtless a
correct Interpretation of the statute. The
act requires that the companies shall sup
ply a sufficient number Of cars and op-
crate them so as to give expeditions
passage to all who desire transportation
without crowding." 1t would be ex-
tremely difficult for any court to take
cognizance of actual conditions under
such a broad. indefinite requirement, to
the end of applying penalties to the trac-
ton companies 1t lies within the power
and responsibility of the interstate COM
merce commission under this act of Con-
gress to lay down rules and to establish
a standard whereby the degree Of actual
car congestion beyond tolerance can be
ascertained.
II is now incumbent upon the inter
state commerce commission to define the
limits beyond which 1t is improper for
the street railway companies to go in per-
hitting the use Of their cars. This will
not be an easy question to answer, but
It will be easier for the courts later to
determine whether the rule SO established

For the 1910 Aero Meet.

Baltimores enthusiasm in the matter of
obtaining the 1910 international aero meet
for Washington may become an important
asset In the campaign Of the capital to this
end. The reports from the Monumental
city indicate that the officials and citi-
zens are decidedly in earnest in their be-
lief that the capital is the proper place
for the meet. Far be 1t from the people
of Washington at this juncture to suggest
that Baltimore might be more enthusiastic
If there were q chance to secure the meet
for that city. The fact that there Is a
hearty cooperation there In the effort to
bring the meet to Washington is accepted
at full value and is highly appreciated.
The country lying between here and Bal
timore is admirably adapted for long-dis-
lance flying. such as will probably be un-
dertaken by the contestants in the 1910
meet. The distance is convenient and the
territory between the cities Is suitable for
such a purpose, with a large percentage
of cultivation and many smooth spaces for
alighting in case of need. 1t is sufficiently
broken to insure thorough test of the
machines, with numerous streams and,
within an easy distance, q large arm OF the
sea for maneuvering over water.
Flights from city to city will probably
figure in the tests Of next year. II avia-
ton Is to become Of practical utility def
mite detectives must be held in view, and
such detectives are more likely to be large
centers of population than other points
The aviators and their enthusiastic sup
porters are now suggesting the establish
ment of regular intercity mail service,
without limit to the possibilities of extern
sion. The forty miles intervening between
Washington and Baltimore will fully test
the endurance qualities of the machines.
Thus 1t is altogether likely that II Wash
ington is chosen as the scene Of the next
meet Baltimore will lie within the area OF
active operations. a fact which uRdoubt-
eddy is now borne in mind by the capitals
cooperating friends Of that city.

New York and Tammany.

Tammany may be defeated in the New
York mayoralty contest, but II victory
comes to the opposition it will be largely
a matter Of good fortune. Seldom has a
good cause been so bunglingly handled
in the preliminary stages. 1t is the old
case of cooks and the broth. The fusion
cooks have not only been many, but too
expert by half AS consequence the
broth is not now promising. But In the
six weeks Of stirring over hot fire, the
contents Of the big kettle may improve
and in the end become palatable.
The nominations made at Carnegie Hall
last night are excellent in point of per-
sonal character. The three men named
have the respect Of the town, and in
office would serve well. But there is no
enthusiasm behind them, and it remains
to be seen whether that indispensable
ingredient can be added to the campaign,
as also whether all those who sincerely
desire Tammany's defeat can be brought
to the polls in support of the ticket. In
Greater New York the public needs to
be cultivated at election times with much
care and skill.
Tammany this year is the same old
Tammany. IL does not change. Jones
may succeed Smith as leader, and Brown
succeed Jones, but the leadership is at
all times toward the same ends. The
rank and file of the organization can be
managed in only one way. Experiments
would be hazardous with those who take
but primitive view Of things.
In any campaign for local control Tam
many's strength may be divided into three
parts. % There are the men, leaders and
followers, who never rise above the con-
sideration of spoils-off1ce, or contracts,
or small jobs, or free lunches. They are
shrewd fellows, and always on the alert.
(0 There are business men who flourish
with Tammany in control. They can do
business" with Tammany on terms ad-
vantageous to both Tammany and them
selves. An administration Of the towns
affairs for the towns interest would block
their game-put an end to their profits at
the towns expense. They sometimes
shout against the organization. and then
vote for it in the secrecy of the polling
booths.
60 There are men who, observing a
contest, admire a smart rogue and cheer
him on. 1t tickles them to see the Artful
Dodger pick a pocket, or trip up an old
gentleman as If by accident and. while
he is down, Gift his wipe" The way
Tammany circumvents men desirous OF
good government. and striving, though at
times awkwardly, to establish 1t, fills
these observers with b deoraved enthusi-
asm- They give the organization their
handclaps, and. not infrequently. contrib
ute 70 its war chest.
Next week Tammany will show its
hand, and then better line on the situa-
ton can be obtained. On the Tammany
side more than the control of the town
Is in view. If victorious this year, Tam
many will strive for state control next
wear, and. ii victorious. then for control
of the state delegation in 1912 to the
democratic national convention.

Putting It Up to Congress.

1t is not to be believed that Congress
has reached the end of its self-proclaimed
Nberality to the District in permitting II
to spend more than it's income annually
for the extension of the permanent equip
ment. There remain numerous Items or
large Improvement on the list OF needs,
more schoolhouses, additions to the nre
department.. the establishment Of high
pressure fire service, park development.
Anacostia river Improvement the building
of more sewers and the erection OF various
buildings for the proper performance OF the
municipal functions. To meet these needs
will call for several million dollars. and
there is every prospect that Congress will
acknowledge the requirement, at least 10
a certain extent. and provide in the next
appropriation bill for larger expenditure
than the total local tax revenues matched
by an equal amount of federal money.
Such a course will mean a gross II not
net increase in the amount due the Treas
ury of the United States for advances to
meet the District deficiencies. The So
called cash payment plan involves these
annual loans. No possible scneme OF
reckoning will produce any other result
than a continuation of the process for sew
eral years, unless Congress Is to cut down
the current maintenance allowances to
starvation basis and devote larger per-
centage Of the local funds than heretofore
to the repayment of federal advances and
to the financing Of permanent improve
ments.
The Commissioners have good reason to
contemplate this prospect and to write
their estimates in full terms Of the local
needs within the newly prescribed limita-
tion to the expected revenues. disregard
ing the contemplated repayment Of a por-
ton of the federal debt during the next
fiscal year. Congress will have no reason
to complain or criticise If the estimates
reach it without specific reference to the
annual repayment vaguely contemplated
in the current law. 1t will have its own
remedy in the exercise of the privilege
which it always reserves to ignore the
specific estimates and to write the appro-
priation bill according to it's own view of
the local needs.
The Commissioners estimates have be-
come chiefly suggestive. They are an
nually torn apart, some items being en-
tirely ignored and others modified accord
ing to the schedule of expenditures estab-
lished by the appropriations committees.
It is not to the present point whether this
Is a desirable system or otherwise. The
chief consideration at this time is that as
far as they are permitted by the terms Of
the present law the Commissioners shall
acquaint Congress to the fullest possible
extent with the capitals financial needs
during the next year.
