MR. T4DOO's WITHDRAWAL.

The withdrawal of Mr. McAdoo'S offer
leaves the city with only the offer of the
Peterborough Rapid Transit Company
before il. Mr.. McAdoo could not rival
that proposal in its extent, and no one
is likely to be able TO do SO, fer the
rea son that the Interborough is already
in the field and what it proposes is an
addition TO Il large system now in eH-
istence If comprehensiveness is TO De
the test. any competitor in order to rival
the Interborough would have to offer
system as big as the present subway,
plus all that the PETERBOROUGH company
is willing TO add to it. That is practi-
cally impossible. and. on the other hand,
it is unlikely that the public will sacri-
fee comprehensiveness for the advan-
tages of competition. great is recent
events have shown them 10 he. 1t seems
certain. therefore, that the city will come
TO terms with the Interbor0ugh company.
If this is TO be done let it be done
with as little delay as possible. Inc
public is weary of endless waiting. The
abandonment OF the triborough route will
involve certain necessary delays. Plans
had been prepared for it. Contracts had
been advertised and bids had been opened
and We're ready for acceptance. Much OF
this will have 10 be done over again with
respect to the marlborough proposals. II
the city decides to accept those proposals
at once il will be months before the new
lines can he advanced To the stage IN
which the triborough is to-day. Oppor-
tunities for delay exist all along the
route of preparation, and the INTERIOR
ough managers are past masters at caus-
inc DELAY. There will be room for dis
putes about details. for differences of
opinion over plans and contracts among
the engineers of the Public Service Com
mission. those of the Interborough COM
many and those of the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment. If it is fair to judge
from the record of the 1nterborough COM
pany in its transactions with the public
authorities. bitches which involve de-
lax will be of frequent occurrence
| Therefore we say let q beginning be
made with the utmost expedition, so that
digging may be under way at the earliest
possible moment.
As for Mr. NcAdoo, genuine regret VIII
be felt that he is not TO become prime
factor in local traction. His offer was
great service to the community, and
whatever extensions of his Hudson tln-
mel system he desires TO make in this
CITY will be likely to receive the cordial
approval of the public. His system needs
connection between its upper and lower
branches on the West Side of Manhattan
and an extension to Brooklyn. These
are not ambitious undertakings; at least
they are much less ambitious than the
| triborough route and its connections. We
hone Mr.. McAdoo will see his way clear
to make them. His system serves the
| New Jersey commuters and Will serve IN
| increa sing number of them as its ramlll-
| cations iii New Jersey are developed, and
II should have the means of distributing
| its passengers in those sections of the
city toward which the greater part Of the
traffic tends.

MR." uTPPHY's LEADERSHIP.

In politics as in everything else moth
ing succeeds like success. While the
Democratic party was being beaten i'll
this state 10 name was too harsh for
INDEPENDENT Democrats to apply to
Boss Murphy. but now that Demo
cratic Governor has been elected they
have only honeyed words for MIR" Muir
rhy. We note that Mr.. George Foster
Peabody and Congressrnan-elect Henry
George follow in the footsteps Of 1.-The
Evening POST in recognizing the leader
ship of Mr." Murphy.
1T seems clear to me- remarks Mr..
Pea body. that Mr.. Murphy is very
properly and with great dignity giving
careful attention to such expressions of
opinion, which is certainly an obiiga-
''tion resting upon any one intrusted
with the great and farreaching respon-
''sibiiity which attaches TO the leader
ship of the largest local political or
.'ganization Of which we have knoWl-
edge With great dignity Great
and farreaching responsibility" Oh,
Joy. IF Mr. Peabody keeps on he will
come to regard the 'honored leadership"
of Mr." Murphy with the awe with
which The Evening Post regards it,
Mr.. George has not yet accustomed
himself to the Oriental strain in which
the ''honored leader has 10 be referred
10. He contents himself with saying
that he recognizes Mr." Murphy as 1.-The
Democratic leader whose advice will be
more potent than that of any other
man not holding public Office in in
'fuencing the judgment Of the Demo
''cratic Legislature i'll the selection of
Senator Probably Mr.. George was
NOT invited into Room DO at Rochester
and therefore has never been awed by
the Presence itself.
Not a word can any Of these incense
burners find to say about the scandal of
Murphy's complete control Of the dis
position Of New Iork's representation in
the Senate. Yet this Murphy is the
same Murphy that he always was. His
great and farreaching responsibility
and awful dignity" have not changed
him one whit. If any one doubts it
because of the sycophantic chorus
that now surrounds him he should con-
slider the organization Of the New York
State Senate. Grady is making every
preparation TO be its leader. He is
picking out the committees. and it is
perfectly we'll understood that he is
Murphy's personal choice. Mr." Muir
phys great and farreaching response
bility" has not awakened him TO the
improperly of Grady's leadership.

coon BEGINNING.

To i1Idc, by the selections which ne
has Tins far made of men to fill i'm
nartant offices at his disposal, the Gov
er,por-elect is resolved to give the Stare
OF New York an efficient, busineSslike
administration His retention OF Ad]u-
tant General Terbeck was probably I
surprise to the general himself, as IL
was TO others. II was not due to per-
sonal friendship, for the two men hao
cniv = recent and slight acquaintance
but TO Mr.. Dix's observation of General
yerbeck's work and his belief that he
was the right man in the right place III
the same spirit Of fidelity to the pubic
welfare he has persuaded Mt tharies
r fireman. of Ithaca. TO take the respon-
sible and laboriouS office OF Superlh-
tcndent Of Public Works, not from any
calculation OF political advantage, but
because in his iud gment 1Ir. fireman has
given evidence in MS private career ana
civic activities of large capacity for pub
lie service especially in the office which
after some hesitation he has accepted.
Tc the same motive may be ascribed the
offer of the post of legal adviser to Mr..
William Church Osborn, which has been
declined.
The Tribune did not want TO. see Mr.
Dix elected, but it does want his ad-
ministration TO achieve success by de-
serving it. and we like the spirit i'll
which he is selecting men for appoint
ment to important places Thus Tar he
has done nothing TO promote the spolls
theory Of government. If he continues
to uphold the standard of fitness he will
be entitled to claim the credit Of result
ing efficiency.

THE MURpERoUs HATPIN.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The other day in a crowded els-
yator In one of the dry goods stores IN
Sixth avenue, a woman with protruoins
hatpin made dash for the door and dis-
appeared in the crowd. Her cruel PIN was
dragged across the temple of a beautiful
young girl standing next to her, inf1ictins
an ugly wound that may leave lifelong
scar, and missed her eye only by the frac-
ton of an inch.
Is there no way that we may protect
ourselves against these dangerous persons!
Could not the large department stores Tor
bid women with protruding pins entering
their elevators, and post notices TO that
effect? Most of us would prefer shopping

stupidity of drivers during the prevailing
winter weather that it is pleasure to note
even a single instance of thoroughly eff
cient humane and sensible treatment of a
difficult situation
This afternoon a tlree-horse hitch on
team No IS OF Richard Fitzpatrick got into
difficulty IN 44th street. near Fifth avenue
while delivering load OF coal. In spite
of the skilful eXertions of the driver the
middle horse went down, but there fol-
lowed no unseemly language, no kicking
and beating of the unfortunate brute. The
entire team was unhitched and a suitable
space cleared and sanded, and the beast
after one or two futile efforts, successfully
regained his feet. the team was hitched up
again, and clever manoeuvre, most skill
fully executed. brought the team into posi-
ton to be unloaded

which should be read by every sane person
in New York. Would that it might be
posted in every prominent gathering place
Gnstead of chewing gum advertisements>.
Such an article would help to make the
careless. selfish and greedy at least con-
scious of the intolerable suffering of the
work horse in New York, especially on
these slippery streets.
Expense Is no excuse In the matter OF
protection of the horse, for a horse with It's
four feet strongly bound in burlaps walks
very comfortably. The burlaps need re-
newing. but not nearly so much time is
spent in that as in pulling the horse up
several times in each block.
