THE SOVEREIGN STATES.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The discussion IN Congress OF the
bill for the election OF United States
Senators by direct vote of the people has
brought TO the surface state sovereignty.
Many Congressman grow eloquent on the
subject. and constantly remind us that the
states are so many sovereign powers.
What Is the meaning Of all this talk in
Congress about state sovereignty? Wasn't
il shot TO death in lS6l'65?
DO these legislators wish the public 20
understand that the Sovereign states
which they represent IN Congress can
exercise all the powers and functions of
tho government which created them and
Of which they are an integral part? There
is and there ought to be in this country
only ono sovereign state and that the
United States Of America, whose motto is
"E Plurlbus Unum."

LAND TITLES IN QUESTION.
Bloomingdale Road Decision and the
Torrens System of Registration.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II seems strange that no mention
has been made OF an extremely important
decision rendered by the Court Of Appeals
I'm February last in the case OF Bradley
agt. Crane (20l n. Y. ~. which affects the
titles of thousands OF real estate proper
ties IN the city OF New York. The ques-
ton involved in this litigation was whether
the city acquired fee In the soil or merely
an easement over the land taken for the
Bloomingdale Road, which was subsequent
" abandoned. Tho history Of this old road
is very interesting az set forth In the
opinion Of the Court Of Appeals.
The decision OF the court. which was that
the city acquired only an easement and not
a fee, affects not only the titles 10 land
formerly a part OF the old Bloomlnsdale
Road. but also all other lands which for
rnerly were portions OF the street or high
WAYS subsequently abandoned IN whole or
I'm part, such an the old Kingsbridge Road.
Hamilton street, Apthorpe Lane. Stuyves-
ant street, etc II also opens the way to
a flood OF litigation. and property owners
may expect any number of Matchmaking
or strike suits by alleged heirs of tile
original owners "A hundred or two hundred
years ago, which will be very expensive TO
defend or which will require tho payment
" largo sums OF money 10 buy their peace
through purchase Of quit claim deeds.
The only remedy Is to bo found in the
Torrens system Of land title registration
which is now in full operation. owing to the
recent decision OF the United States Su-
prelne Court I'm the case Of the American
Land Company agt. zelss. whereby the con-

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Women are safer in the streets OF Japd'
nose cities than they are In Chicago OF
New York. This is the opinion OF Mrs
Murray who. with her husband, the Kew
David A. Murray. has been stationed Io'
the last eight years at Osaka, Japan. Mrs
Murray also said. IN addressing the Wom-
eng Presbyterian Board of MISSIONS III
Chicago: THE fine courtesy shown by the
Japanese 10 all foreigners is remarkable
I have greater feeling OF safety when IN
Toxic than I have hero in Chicago. During
the time I have been in Japan l have never
heard Of woman being molested. rms
can be attributed to the fact that most oil
the men in Japan arc intelligent and well
educated, mon who take care that nothing
shall occur that mlsht bring shame upon
the nation"
