THE STATE OF THE MAINE.

The condition of the wreck of the
Maine is now pretty completely disclosed
through the exhaustion of the water
from within the cOfferdam which sur
rounds 1t, and 1t is seen TO he quite
different from what has been commonly
supposed by the public The general
notion has been that Of the hulk, with
huge hole blown in its side. but other
wise fairly intact, lying on the floor of
the barbor. The fact Is that n consid
cradle portion Of the vessel, from deck
10 keel. was blown TO atoms and has
practically disappeared, and the re-
manning portions are almost entirely
buried in mud, much Of which has be-
come so hard that it will have 10 be dug

This state of affairs suggests the

and the ina jor part OF the work is yet
To come. That work will not be unlike
the elimination Of scattered fossil re-
npins in n mine, or the unearthing Of

ments of the vessel will probably be

face of It they may have cause for dis
content and resentment against the Bo-
gcta government. and even for With
drawal from the Union. The statesmen
at Rogota have too often regarded the
interests of that part Of the country
TO the exclusion of all others-as they
did when they made Panama the
"milch COW" Of Colombia and prac-
tically decreed that the Isthmus should
have no rights which Bogota was bound
to respect. But it was hoped and sup
posed that in late years they had
learned better things.
The lesson which all Colombia needs
to heed is that In a republic or FED
Grafton or whatever they may call IL
the prime essential Is that the general
government shall subserve the welfare
Of all parts. and that all parts shall
recognize that the greatest good OF each
Is to be found in promoting the greatest
general good Of all. When that lesson
is learned the coast provinces and the
inland mountain provinces will perceive
that their true policy is continued union
rather than hasty separation.

IMPOSSIBLE.

Far more harm than good is done ny
such extravagant expressions as those
in which Senator Hepburn Is accus-
toned TO indulge when discussing ques-
lions that implicate the Civil War.
Very few Americans have ever failed
tc appreciate or hesitated to acclaim
the heroic qualities which the South ex-
hibited throughout that tremendous con-
filct. and in recent years Northern men
have generally been indisposed to doubt
that the people Of the Confederate
states did their duty as they saw it,
But when the federal government Is
asked TO contribute public money for a
memorial In honor of those who tried to
destroy it. the appeal is not to mag
nanmity. but to foolishnesS There is
no possible warrant for such an official
confusion Of standards. The essential
fact was accurately enunciated for all
time by General Garfield when he said
that the war for the Union was ever
lastingly right and the war against the
Union everlastingly wrong.

THE EOTALTTY or JUSTICE.

Two importers were arraigned in the
United States Circuit Court on Thurs
day to receive sentences for frauds on
the customs. One. Greek. had pleaded
guilty to some rather petty frauds In
the importation of figs and cheese. De-
spite the pleas of his counsel and the
certificate of q physician that he was
suffering from inclpient tuberculosis
and that imprisonment would endanger
his health. the ma iesty of the law was
upheld in the case of the Greek by sen
tence 10 three months imprisonment.
The other case was that Of a member of
a large lace and silk importing house,
which had brought in goods worth over
81. 900. 900 and had escaped paying full
duty on them by an elaborate system of
differentiation This man had for
feited his bail and been a fugitive from
Justice. Speaking TO the court about
him. District Attorney Wise said: "The
frauds committed by the poor. sick
Greek whom YOU have Just sent 10
"iail for three months were only as a
"huckleberry to watermelon compared
TO the wholesale frauds Of this man."
Notwithstanding the argument Of the
District Attorney in favor Of imprison-
ment. the sentence imposed on the lace
importer was $4,000 fine, which, it is
believed. he will be able to pay without
serious inconvenience.
one of the chief essentials TO the sta
bility of our government IL confidence in
the courts. and all thoughtful citizens
must be concerned at any spread among
the mass Of people Of the feeling that
Justice is not equal for rich and poor /;
that the petty thief can generally count
on being sent to Jail. while the great
thief can hope to escape by giving up
IA small part Of his ill-gotten gains. Such
opinions find expression from time TO

other way. But Of course, no material
portion Of II will thus be removed until
it has been photographed and Its pre-
else place and condition have been In
disputably recorded.
The prime object Of the undertaking
Is to determine In the most accurate and
authoritative manner the precise condi-
ton of the wreck and thus to throw
all possible light upon the origin OF the
tragedy. 1t seems TO be increasingly
probable that the origin will and can
never be determined. But at least we
must spare no pains or labor to deter

have it said that such determination
was In, the slightest degree baked or
prevented by any act of ours.

THE MIDWAY AWARD.

Only the possibility Of obstruction by
the Mayor or an appeal to the courts
stands In the way Of the prompt digging
~ subways. Neither of these possible
obstacles is likely to prove serious "A
taypayers' suit was to be expected, no
matter how the subway question was
settled. And the Mayor will not relish
long the position of delaying the con-
s;ruction of subways. The award tnat
bos been made 10 the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company Is the best practicable
result for the city. The chance OF
reaching an agreement with the inter-
borough company was too slender TO
Justify putting off the relief of existing
conditions any longer for the sake or II.

subway was ready for construction. MI
these months have been wasted i'll try
ing TO come 10 terms with the INTERIOR

an agreement with the city and the
company still as far apart as ever.
The advantages Of making the Man
haitian and Bronx lines part of the In
terborough system would he consider
able. but not great enough to be worth
waiting indefinitely for And. moreover,
the awarding of the present lines to the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company does
rot mean that the so-called INTERIOR

interest will be likely TO compel the
company sooner or later to build down
Seventh avenue from 42d street and to
bring its East Side passengers by the
natural and most direct route down
town-that is, in subway east OF Cen
tra Park.
Meanwhile. the new subway which is

DISCCMFORTS OF THE SUBWAY
Writer Has Gloomy Forebodings Re.
garding Future Extensions.
or II The Tribune.

! To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In replying 10 my letter with refer
ence to subway conditions. Henry Bowling
Byrne attributes part Of the superior com
fort of the Hudson tubes to the protection
afforded by the river against the heat Of
the sun. Whether or no there can be any
warrant for believing that the suns rays
penetrate 10 so great n depth as TO affect
the temperature OF the subway, the fact
remains that the East River seems TO exer-
else no such protecting influence. since
travellers below its surface in the Inter-
borough subway experience no remark
able sense of relief.
His further explanation is that the
tunnels are built with single tubes and on
very different plan from the subway.
That is exactly what is contended The
difference I'm the regard shown for public
convenience and comfort appears not merely
in the management OF the tubes. but in
the original plans for their construction.
However. ! cited the matter of tempera-
ture not as in itself conclusive but as
symbol OF the opposing attitudes Of the
respective companies. This extends TO
practically all matters Of detail-the quail
ity OF the cars. the courtesy OF the EN-
ployes, the conveniences provided. the at
tentlon to suggestions and requests on be-
half OF the travelling public.
Does Mr.. Byrne forget the trouble ex-
perienced by the Public Service Commits
sion in having side doors placed on the
cars Of the Interborougb and the positive
declaration, absolutely falsifed by the ie-
suit, of the impossibility OF introducing
this reform? Does he think the public has
forgotten the disobedience, persisted In as
long as possible. OF the orders OF the COM
mission regarding better express service
and more frequent trains In non-rush
hours? 1t is easy To make "A plausible
defence 10 one particular charge, but the
ground OF reasonable complaint against
the Interborough Is that IFS whole history
as indicated callous disregard for the
comfort and convenience of the travelling
public and an unwillingness To be ac-

THROWING AN ELECTION.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A hasty review OF Governor Dix's
acts and appointments will convince even
the most feeble minded person Of the justi-
fication OF Theodore Roosevelts attacks on
Murphy and his pet during the last cleo
ton. The voters OF New York State saw
At to elect band of jobbers to rule their
state government. They have made their
bed; let them lie upon II.
The trouble with them is that they don't
know a decent man when they see one.
They allow themselves to be swayed by
yellow newspapers and by silver-tongued
Democratic political prophets forecasting
the dissolution of our government should
their opponents be elected.
The more / view past events the more
convinced am l that the voters Of this
state need a little more practical educa-
