lest they be suspected of wanting TO make

Once upon a time, the trees and shrubs

got into such a condition now that they

EVOLUTION OF THE CITIZEN.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of to-day Frank T.
Merritt proudly boasts Of his American
descent. but as his name is not Big Proud
Chief or Great Laughing Brook. but plain
Merritt, venture to say that his honorable
ancestors also migrated from across the
pond And as the immigrants Of to-day
live in one room, as Mr.. Merritt says. so
did his ancestors live III a one-room log
cabin when they landed at Plymouth Rock
But from one of these hOmely and crude
structures time gave America a Washing
ton and the dawn OF freedom
The colonists of those DAYS left the
mother country for reason; so have the
immigrants of to-day. Though the imml-
grant or to-day works for about One-third

GR.iDY AGAIN.

Democratic success in the state cleo
ton this year means, if it is complete, Il
state Senate under the leadership of
Grady. The latest farewell, like its
predecessors, has been recalled. Grady IS
once more Il candidate, and that he Will
again lead his party i'm the Senate goes
without saying. Despite his unfitnesS IN
other respects. he Will surpass every
other Democrat in the Senate In legisla-
tive ability and experience SO much that
il would be impracticable 10 displace
him, even if the Tammanyized party
should desire to displace one of its old
ia Worries
But with Grady rs the prospective
head Of the party in the Legislature
what becomes Of the argument that the
Republican party should be rebuked for
Alldsism by turning over the state TO
the Democratic party? The "old guard
i'm the Legislature knew no partisanshlp-
The Senate was controlled by bipartt-
san combination, of which Grady, as the
Tammany leader, was an important
member. He was bound by the closest
personal ties with Aids, RafneS and the
others of the old regime; SO intimate
were the relations that when Aids was
driven from the Senate Grady announced
that he would never return. He was
lonely" he declared. When Aids was
on trial Grady was his chief friend and
defender in the Senate, ever arguing ana
voting for rulings that would favor the
defence. and when q vote was taken on
the case Grady was one Of the nine Sen
ators who voted in favor of Aids. He
declared his old friend not guilty of
grating, and rallied four other Tam
many men TO his support
The names of these four supporters of
Aids it is worth while to recall. They
were Senators Cullen, FraWley and the
two Sullivans. Big Tim and Christie"

Democrats in the Senate, who acted when

NoRTHFIELO APPEAL FRUITFUL.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: On October 1 and 3 the trustees OF
Mortified Seminary and Mount HeTmOn
Boys School held meetings to receive the
treasurers report of the respective schools.
\ year ago we were face to face with AN
accumulated deficit in running expenses.
and an appeal was made TO the public to
assist us at a time of special need. As
result of this appeal We have been enabled
10 decrease somewhat the outstanding in
debtedness of the two schools, while fully
meeting the current expenses of both in
stitutions, without raising the tuition TO
our students.
AS we received the generous cooperation
OF the press i'll making known our needs
and especially OF The New-YorS Tribune.
wish to avail myself Of this opportunity
to express my gratitude to you and let
you know of the successful issue of the
year that is past. The appeal was for
100000, and $P7.Jco Was the amount which
wo received for tho two schools for the
year ended on July 81 1910.

your sympathetic help in our effort of the

LITTLE DELAWARE

The census returns from Delaware
show that that small state made about
the same progress between 1900 and
1910 as between 1890 and 1900. The
rate of increase for the first decade was
90 per cent and for the second decade
80 per cent The population in 1910
is 202, 322-a gain of 1857. The gain
between 1890 and 1900 was 1929. But
the state did better than that between
1880 and 1890 and between 1870 and
1880, when the decennial increase was
more than 21.OO0, and even between
1850 and 1860. when the increase was
more than 10000. Outside Wilmington
there has been little growth in the last
two decades. Wilmingtons gain since
1900 has been 10,903, leaving G6S4 for
the rest of the state. Between 1890 and
1900 Wilmington gained 15,O77, while
the rest Of the state gained only / ,165.
Delaware is one of the slow-growing
Eastern states, not so much because of
its size, but because of its living a little
off the path Of progress. Its gain in
population has been only about one-third
that of Rhode Island, a still smaller
commonwealth. Yet in the decade be-
tween 1890 and 1900 its rate of increase
was larger than New Hampshres, more
than n third greater than Names and
three times that of Vermont Thirty
years from now Delaware will probably
be the smallest state in the Union i'm

LOGIC REGARDING MURPHYISM

Murphy's brutal Tammany contempt for
the judiciary, revealed anew in his refusal
to nominate Justice Whitney, our neigh
bor The Times" thinks may perhaps
be of service To the Democratic state
ticket. This paradox challenges attention,
the general opinion being that this latest
outrage of the boss had damaged his
state tickets prospects "Thc Illness"
reasoning seems TO he that independent
Republicans and others of similar pro-
cIIvities .who have not liked the Muir
"phyism in the state ticket, below its eX-
"cellent head" will like il better now
that there is Il still more offensive vari-
city of Murphyism exhibited in the local
ticket, IF now the Republicans name
Judge Whitney," The Times continues
cheerfully. this class Of voters can reg
lister at the polls their opposition TO
"NIurphyism." by voting for Justice
Whitney. If Murphy had made good
nomination for justice of the Supreme
Court, those who have no stomach for the
Tammany boss would have been Sorely

against the whole Democratic state
ticket TO Register their opposition 20

There is the Republican ticket THE
Times" objects to il on account of some
thing which it calls RoOSeyeltiSm. Thus,
we have balanced against each other
Murphyism OH the one hand and Roosc-
yeltism on the other. The Republican
candidate for Governor Mr.. StimSon, Is
q good man in himself. We believe THE
Times has said so, expressing regret
that so excellent a candidate should have
got into his present conjunction with
Rooseyeltism. And these two 'tsms

THE RUSSO-FINNISH CRISIS.

Acute crisis succeeds chronic dead
lock i'm Finland. The parliament has
been dissolved by the sovereign and
elections for a new one have been or
dered for January. This is the not ul-
expected outcome of the deadlock which
was made complete a fortnight or more
ago. At that time both countries, Fin
land and Russia, or their governments,
assumed positions from which it was
obvious that neither could easily with
draw without humiliation.
Russia, in the personal name of the
Gar. sent 10 Helsingfors a certain bill
with orders that it be enacted into law.
Its purpose was 10 abrOgate the au-
tonomy Of Finland and to make the
grand duchy a mere province of tie
Russian Empire. For the Finnish par
lament to defeat it was looked upon
by many as something which it would
not be safe TO do and which Finland
would not dare 10 do. But those VINO
thought that did not reckon with the
indomitable patriotism of the Firms.
The parliament did not indeed defeat
the bill. Instead. it rejected il. 1t eN-
cluded il. IT refused 10 receive it for
consideration. And by the overwhelm-
ing vote of 141 to 43 il voted an address
to the sovereign stating that it, would
he unconstitutional for the Speaker %
lay the measure before the House That
was a defiance which the Russian gov
ernmeDt could not ignore. The answer
Ia IT is decree dissolving the Contu-
macious parliament and ordering tie
election of a new one, which the Rus
sian government, of course, hopes will
prove more plant and submissive But
it may be doubted if that hope is re
allied On the contrary, we shall he
surprised if the new parliament does
not prove 10 be as persistent and as
heroic in its patriotism as the old
The Firms insist upon the supremacy
Of their constitution TO any alien decree;
and also upon the principle that their
constitution can be changed by nobody
but themselves. That is an old and
well-established Teutonic and Scandi-
nayian principle, amply based upon rea-
son and logic. Moreover, it is strongly
confirmed by the specific agreement Of
the Russian Emperor who first became
Grand Duke Of Finland and by the al
most unbroken practice of his successors.
we have desired" said Alexander I,
ito confirm and ratify the religion and
fundamental laws Of the land as well
"as the privileges and rights which

been repeated in form or essence by
every Emperor since.
The Russian answer is characteristic,
but is not convincing 10 the Firms. 1t
is in effect that Russia now wants the
Finnish constitution 10 he abrogated and
the grand ducby To be incorporated into
the empire and does not consider that
the hand of the long dead Alexander
should prevent that consummation.

THE CURTIS ENGINE.

The American steam turbine has just
had a series of tests which cannot fail
70 attract the attention of engineering
experts the world over. An unarmored
cruiser, the Bristol, built for the British
navy by 3 private contractor and
equipped with Curtis turbines, com
nleted her official trials less than fort
night ago.
According to Engineering" Of Lon
don. the new vessel showed slight SUI
periority over her four immediate prede-
cessors both in power and speed. In the
continuous run for twenty-five hours the
Bristol developed an average of 14,3OO
horsepower and maintained q mean
speed of 24O6 knots. The average horse
power of the four sister ships was
14o16 and their mean speed 1856 knots
In the eight-hour trial the Bristol de
veloped 1870 horsepower and a speed
of 2517 knots. Her predecessors aver
aged 1860 horsepower and 24.9S knots.
Squirting over measured mile six times,
the Bristol travelled at the rate of 26.Si
knots and showed 1927 horsepower.
The sister ships under the same condl-
tions made o6.13 knots and developed
o3 500 horsepower. The last mentioned
vessels, as Engineering explicitly
states, We're propelled by Parsons tur-
''bines embodying the inventors latest
improvements at the date of their con-
''Struction.''
Not the least important feature Of the
BrlstolS performance was her economy
in steam consumption. When driven at
full speed she needed 10 pounds Of
steam for each horsepower. A few
years ago fifteen or sixteen pounds
would have been considered a moderate
requirement Sir Henry Dram, engineer
i'll chief of the fleet, recently reported
that the best British battleships con-
sumed a little more than thirteen
pounds, and the IndOmitable perhaps
the finest Of Englands armOred cruisers,
is said TO need slightly over twelve
pounds
1t begins 10 look as if the Curtis en-
CINE in its earlier trials did not reveal
all of its possibilities. When it has been
before the world and has been subjected
10 as much modification as the Parsons
turbine perhaps it will furnish still
greater surprises. The record already
made in the Bristol, however is a re-
markablc ono. To some extent, no
doubt, IT is the result of shop expert
ments made by the cruisers builders
81. Brown 81 Coz, but their enterprise in
investigating the characteristics of the
engine deserves imitation by other for
eign constructors of war vessels. Per
haps the United States Navy Depart
ment may also be sufficiently influenced
by the latest Developments to feel that
the competitive trials of the Salem and
the Chester did not furnish the last word
regarding the most conspicuous two
steam turbines in marine service.
