THE TALK OF THE DAY.

POstoffice Inspector Fletcher, stationed
ia Indianapolis. recently returned from an
official tour through the widest mountain
districts of Kentucky with u high opinion
of the mountaineers. He SAYS they will
divide their last crust with a stranger and
are thoroughly honest. Despite the fact
that there are many feuds and the people
XIII each other, stranger is perfectly
safe among them" declares Mr.. Fletcher
"As there are no banks in the mountain
districts, the money sent to them for their
logs and other products il by registered
letter; consequently they place every safe
guard about the mails. There is one thing
they won't stand, and that is TO have their
mail interfered with. Whenever a robbery

EXCISE Reform.

The Committee OF Fourteen's bill
amending the excise law. which has just
been favorably reported in the state
Senate. is the result Of an exhaustive
inquiry into the saloon question i'm this
city. and is said 10 have the support OF
brewers. distillers and others who are
interested i'm improving the conditions
or the liquor business. Perhaps the
most important reform which il in
cludes is the limitation Of licenses to be
issued in cities Of the first class 10 one
for every one thousand inhabitants. Such
a restriction on the number of saloons
would check violation OF the law in two
ways. The cutting down of compa-
tition would remove one of the tempta-
tons 20 liquor selling in the prohibited
hours and the reduction of the relative
number Of licenses would give so much
value TO r license that its owner would
be chary OF FORGETTING IT,
One of the amendments. moreover.
would cause the owner Of the property
in which a saloon existed TO take an in
terest in having the law obeyed. for IL
provides that If license is forfeited no
saloon may be licensed IN the same
place for one year thereafter, and TO
enforce It provision is made for the
appointment of 10 special agents Of the
State Excise Department. This con-
forms 10 the plan Of Mayor Gaynor to
enforce the law in this city with the
cooperation Of the state authorities.
The bill deals with the Raines law no.
tel by raising the requirements Of
hotel from ten 10 twenty-five rooms and
more than doubling the size Of its din
ing room. Ii is thought that none but
real hotels would be licensed under
these provisions. In short, the bin
aims 10 improve the character Of the
retail liquor trade. making 1t cleaner,
more self-respecting and lawabiding,
and Il seems to be well designed 10
accomplish that purpose.

When the Democratic State Conven-
ton in Indiana nominated John W.

of those slips of destiny which often
happen TO too confiding statesmen Mr..
Kern considered himself as good as

come into control of the state I.egislat-

Nice-President and felt that he was en-
titled TO a consolation prize. But Demo-
cratic caucuses- especially such as use

Democratic legislators chose BENJAMIN

tate on the ingratitude of republics and
to console himself by charging the ma
Jority OF the caucus with treachery and
corruption.

TIE LATEST AERIAL RACE.

Paulhan. by his flight from London to
Manchester, broke three records. For
the last twenty-four miles, about the
distance from Calais TO Dover. he trav-
elled at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
1t is asserted. no doubt correctly, that
Bleriot's speed when crossing the Eng
fish Channel was about fifty miles an

thirty-five or forty miles further, and his
average speed was nearly forty-flve

AN UNDERGROUND PARK.

Ii is suggested by some of those who
advocate the building of big court
house In City Hall Park that If narrow
ing the passage between the City Hall
and the courthouse would overcrOwd a
place already congested with pedes-
TRANS a passage might be built connect
ing Park Row with Broadway under
meath the park. Why simply a passage?
Why not put the whole park under
ground, II there is to be no room for Il
on top Of the earth? That would be
economical" The city would then have
building sites in abundance, and 1t
would also have City Hall Park-under-
ground. TO be sure. but it would still
have IL for the benefit of those foolish
sentimentalists who insist upon preserv-
ing such institutions.
And why not an underground park
1t is true that no underground park
now exists, but a few years ago no
underground railroads e1isted-at least,
not In New York-and now we have
grown so enamOured OF them that we
are asked TO trade half OF City Hail
Park for part of one, and feel that we
can get on without anything else bet
ter. Who will dare to predict that If
once we should try an underground
park we should not as speedily be won
by Its charms?
Certainly between an underground
park and City Hall Park with n big
wart of a courthouse in it there would
be no difficulty I'm choosing. And IL We
are TO experiment with underground
parks where shall we begin better than
with City Hall Park? To make Cen
trail Park the subject of such an ex-
pertinent would be. we fear, too ambi-
tous and radical a project. That can

should suppose was now lne'l'apie'
What we would suggest Is that tnis

careful scrutiny of the business adliiih-

than many such institutions commonly
receive. In the case OF an INSTITUTION
which obtains grants OF pupilc IuhuS'

less obvious In the case or any lhs'ltu-

There is. we believe. seldom any real

For this reason the organization and
activities of the Carnegie Foundation

as It is generous. Ii maintains a con-
slant watchfulness over all the instltu-

usefulness with the pecuniary bounty
