NEWS FROM SPAIN CENSORED
Bomb Explosion in Madrid Followed by
Panic. but No Deaths.

Madrid, June 30.-The government censor
stopped all news dispatches filed with the
telegraph companies last night which de-
scribed disorders in connection with the
Eucharist procession. 1t is estimated that
sixtv persons received bruises In street
panic following the explosion OF a bomb
in Gale Bordadores, near the corner OF
Gale Mayor, at the moment that the
parade was passing through the latter
thoroughfare.
No one was injured directly by the bomb
but the crowds massed OH the sidewalk
who had read predictions OF trouble In
the Republican papers. cried out In alarm
and started to run from the direction or
the explosion. In the resulting crush
women tainted and were trampled. The
police acted energeticaly and eventually
restored order.
- IS estimated that $1,000 persons took
part in the parade, which brought TO a
close the Catholic Congress. The organ
izers OF the demonstration had warned
those who participated to march in silence,
lest they provoke q hostile demonstration
on the part Of the Republicans and anti
cIericals who looked on. The press unites
to-day in deploring the bomb incident and
felcitates the paraders and the anti
clericals on their attitude.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: notice the statement in your issue
Of yesterday that IN some New Jersey
towns there has been a marked decrease
I'm the number OF sparrows and corre-
spending increase In the number OF song
birds. Those towns are to be congratu-
lated l do not think that IL Is generally
known that the New Jersey Legislature
some ten years ago, learning that spar
rows were such detriment to both the
farmer and the city people, repealed the
law protecting them and allowed the peo-
pie TO slaughter them at will.
Sparrows are great enemies OF our song
birds, driving them out OF the community
and tearing the lining out Of their nests,
and I have known when they have even
wounded the young songbirds in their nests
In the absence Of the mother bird. OF all
men who suffer from the sparrow's acts the
farmer is the foremost, for not only do
these birds drive away other birds that
destroy the insects with which the farm
ers crops are infested but they also do
great damage to all kinds Of grain.
When the sparrow was first brought to
this country an English gentleman said
TO a friend of mine: Van, you will live TO
see the day when the people will curse the
man who brought them to this country
and he did, AUpUbON'

THE DIY-MURPHY BARGAIN.

The legislation passed on Thursday az
Albany is universally understood TO be
the result Of a bargain between Governor
Dix and Murphy, similar TO the bargain
which the Governor struck with the boss
over appointments short time ago.
Tammany trades the passage of the
highway commission bill and the con-
servation bill, in which Governor Dix
is especially interested, for the passage
Of the Levy election BILL which means
so much to Boss Murphy. Without Tam
many's support the sO-cailed Dix meas
passed And it is equally plain that
without Governor DiXs acquiescence the
Levy election bill would have failed. It
was barely successful, and with the
slightest encOura cement from the' Gov
ernor several Of the more Independent
Democrats would have voted against IT..
Dispatches from Albany speak Of Dix's
getting this and Murphy's getting that
as q result of the trade. But the truth
is that Murphy has got everything and
1lN IOlu uSs IueIt are, III Aul puS III
the Levy BILL immense patronage and
the possibility Of cutting down the anti
Tammany vote and impeding the free
action of the anti-Tammany sentiment.
There is nothing in it for Governor Dix,
except dishonor, if he signs it. And the
so-called Dix measures are really Muir
ply measures. Murphy has the Legis
ature, and it is to Murphy that the Gov
ernor must 90 to obtain consent to his
appointments filling the new highway
and conservation commissions. Tam
many will control the commissioners and
Tammany will get the enormous con-
tracts which they will have In their
power to bestow Mr.. Dix is to let Muir
ply Tammanyize the election laws and
election machinery Of the state in CON
sideration Of Murphy's kindly consenting
also to Tammanyize the state highways
and conservation administration and
their contract work. That is the bar.

TIE Subway SETTLEMENT.

The CITY has made in every respect
n, excellent bargain with the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. Its hnanciai
terms are much more favorable to the
nublic than II seemed possible for the
CITY TO obtain until competition and the
fidelity and unfiagging zeal with when
Chairman Wilcox and his fellow Public
Service Commissioners and Mr. McAneny
ard his associates on the transit COM
mi.tee of the Board of Estimate and APP
portionment began to produce their ef-
fects.
The lines TO be built under the agree
ment will vastly increase the transit
facilities Of Brooklyn and Queens, besides
providing q means for the distribution
of the Brooklyn traffic throughout that
section of Manhattan and Queens toward
which most Of it tends. And the pubic
obtains, moreover. a 5-cent fare 10
Conev Island, which. whatever may be
said OF It as matter Of railroad econo-
mics. will undoubtedly prove great
blessing TO the mulhtudes of this city.
And. furthermore, the city has an opera
tor ready to take upon equally favorable
terms the additional lines that it may
offer providing transit facilities for
northern Manhattan and The Bronx.
Although brief opportunity Will be
held out for the Interborough company
TO change its mind and bid for the lines
which it has just rejected, it is probable
that they will be granted next week TO
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.
If this proves to be the case, some re-
gret will be felt at the failure of the city
TO obtain the Interborough company as
an operator Of the lines assigned to 1t
il the conferrees' report. but the advan-
tages of having the marlborough system
extended over those which will be pos
sessed by the observation-disclosures ave
nue. line operated as part of the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit system are not sufli-
GENTLY great TO compensate for further
delay If the Brooklyn company OBJ
tains the northern lines UP Lexington
avenue to The Bronx users Of those lines
will not only have rapid transic to the
business section Of Manhattan, but also,
through the Broadway branch of the
system, they will have access to its hotel,
shopping and theatrical districts.
But the greatest advantage Of all to
the public from reaching this agreement
is that subway digging may begin at
once Work, it is promised, will start
on Lexington avenue in month.

slums Of the larger towns, exceedingly
difficult. That is the Southern notion OF
prohibition, which strikes ut the free
sale of liquor not so much as an onence
in itself, but as an inevitable stimulus
to crime and menace to public order
Certainly in the Southern prohibition
states, so long as access 10 liquor Is
largely checked for those who are oru'
talized and made dangerous by 1t, little
concern will be felt because some clti-
zens import drink for their personal use.
The only serious problem Is to keep the
importer from selling liquor after lie
gets it in. Prohibition does Its work a
little crudely in those states. but on the
whole 1t has done it effectively. 1t can
still accomplish its main object-which
is not absolute suppression, but material
restriction-even in the face OF an In
creasing "original package business.

nropose will be rejected

advance that anything which they may

1t is quite possible too, that there
might be a tactical mistake IN thus re-
jecting proposals which In fact accord
with Liberal principles. The suggestion
of a Joint meeting of the two houses In
certain cases has hitherto been made by
Liberals, and that of popular referen-
dun or plebiscitum Is certainly con-
gruous with democracy. There may be
question as to whether these proposals
are made by the Lords on principle or
merely as tactical devices, or yet as
ccunsels of despair. That does not
greatly matter. What is important is
that they are made and that the Liberals
in the Commons must bear the response
bility Of accepting or rejecting them.
The decision which is made may have
no bearing upon the immediate fate OF
the bill In hand, but 1t may be of much
significance In not distant political CAM

REFLECTIONS on THE REFEREN.

DUN.
The Commonwealth Of Australia, that
happy hunting ground Of all sorts Of
social, industrial, civic and political ex-
periments, IS doing a lot of thinking
just now about that prime favorite Of
the political idealist, the referendum. 1t
has been using the referendum, in q
somewhat constrained and moderate
manner, with results rather more salts.
factory TO the opponents than TO the
supporters Of that system, and the logi-
cal differences are such as TO induce
much heart-searching The subjects Of
the referendum were three proposed
amendments to the constitution, which
had been drafted and advocated by the
Labor party, which was then, as it is
now, in control Of the government; and
they were shrewdly calculated, if
adopted to centraliZe authority IN a
manner conducive to maintenance of the
Labor party in power. They were all
three Overwhelmingly rejected, however,
and the net result Of the campaign and
AlS NpSl VI t-COiOVO was puittN
Now the question is raised What
should the government do? It's policy,
which it presented TO the people for their
ratification, has been overwhelmingly
lrcpudiated. Yet the government remains
in office. Had a majority Of Parliament
voted against similar measures proposed
to it by The Ministry, the Cabinet
would of course have resigned at once
or dissolved Parliament and appealed to
the country. That is the fundamental
principle Of responsible government.
Now the nation votes against the Min
istry and against Parliament or against
capital policies TO which they committed
themselves. Logically they should re-
sign or appeal to the country In a new
election. The theory is that a body is
responsible to Its constituents. The
Cabinet is responsible to Parliament,
and by analogy Parliament is RESPONSE
BILE to the nation.
In this country, where the principle Of
responsibility has not been carried so
far, the matter may have at present only
academic interest. Yet the recall"
which is being adopted here and there
and is much urged by reformers. clearly
suggests the abandonment Of entirely
fixed tenures and the subsection of Of
fcials to the will Of their constituents.
1t would seem to be logical, then, for the
same question to arise concerning the
effect of q defeat Of the government on
Il referendum. Should it not logically
and morally suggest the retirement of
officials whose policy is thus declared to
lack popular approval?
