The New York Republicans.

The three aspirants for the republican
nomination for Governor of New York
are District Attorney Whitman. Job E.
Hedges and H. D. Hinman, all well
known in the state, and all equal to
the duties OF the governorship. Their
personal characters are Of the highest.
Mr.. Whitman has scored heavily in the
office he now holds. Tackling graft and
far graver offenses in their strongholds.
he has punished offenders. and made the
path perilcus for their would-be follow
ers Not in many years has any public
prosecutor in New York thrown such a
scare into the criminal classes. Faithful
and most efficient in a few things. he
should be set, his friends claim. over
many and higher things. He should prove
to be a strong man in the race.
Mr. Hedges is an attractive man Of wide
personal popularity. Two years ago he
ran for governor against such odds az
made his defeat certain. Now. his friends

Superhuous Car Stops.

Announcement is made that in the in
terest Of more rapid transit on street
the car stop on the west side Of 9th has
been abolished and passengers travelling
west on transfers at that point will have
to board the cars at the east side Of the
junction. This Is a sensible move which
should long ago have been made. Ger
tain other traditional car stops are still
maintained in this city which might Just
as well be eliminated. Some Of the So
called fire stops. too. might with perfect
safety be cut from the list. One Of these,
for an instance, is on 5th street west, at
the corner Of I. Southbound cars are
compelled to stop before crossing the
Massachusetts avenue tracks, from which
point a perfect view is had OF wide
stretch Of street. including the fire engine
house between 9Th and 9Th on Massachu-

setts avenue. There Is no possible OBJ
struction to the vision. and yet the south
bound cars are compelled to stop also
before crossing the I street line. as a
precaution against collision with fire
apparatus. II the motorman has not
seen the engine before he crosses
the Massachusetts, avenue tracks at
this point he will never see 1t.
Yet this stop has been maintained for
several years. although attention has been
called to it as supernumerary. Now that
the public utilities commission Is consid-
ering this question Of stops. it should go
carefully through the list and cut down
to a minimum the places where the cars
must absolutely stop, with, Of course, a
full reckoning of the public convenience
1t Is as easy for the transferring passen-
gers to take the westbound car at 9th
and F at the east side as on the west side,
and traffic will be relieved OF double
impediment.

Late War Developments.

War developments are meagerly re-
ported, although fighting is in progress
over a wide area The latest disclos-
ures are that the allied forces have re-
taken Tirlemont, Belgium, from the
Germans, thus possibly breaking
through the line which has already en-
veloped Brussels and perhaps isolated
Antwerp: that the French, though VIC
torfous In lower Alsace. where they
have retaken Muelhausen, have met
with q check in Lorraine, retiring be-
fore a large German force south on
Metz, which they were seeking to in
vest; that the Russians have massed
an army, stated at fully half a million
men, on the GermanAustrian frontier
and are now moving forward; that
mobilization orders have been issued
in Italy, obviously as a response to the
Austrian assemblage Of troops on the
frontier.
These developments do not material
ly change the situation. Germany has
penetrated into Belgium and occupied
the capital. lerying heavy war assess
ments upon the inhabitants of both
Brussels and Liege. France has occu-
pied a portion of lower Alsace and
RUSSIA Is IN dCIto' at ASsoiatclS
nothing is known regarding the
strength OF the English and French
armies presumably awsiting the Ger
man attack somewhere west and south
of Brussels. Jtter silence prevails re
Sarding the Whereabouts and activities
OF the British North sea feet. Reports
have been recently published n German
American papers claiming the dsscruc-
tion OF large numbers. Of British war
ships-one asserting that nineteen had
been sunk by Zeppelins and another
that no less than thirty-nine had been
destroyed The extreme unlikelihood
of these reports is attested by the fact
that there is no interruption of ship
ping and cable communication with
England. If as many as even the
smaller number of British ships had
been sunk the German navy should by
now have had command Of the North
sea and isolated England.
The coming week will probably bring
important developments. Japan's ulti-
matum to Germany expires tomorrow.
italy may be soon forced into decisive
action. The land campaign canno'
fall to show some Indications Of the
relative strength of the German and
allied armies. Russia must begin tr
demonstrate whether she IL to be a
strong or negligible factor in the war
and finally the continued silence re-
garding the British sea forces may be
broken by the announcement Of action.

The Canal Waits on Peace.

It is remarkable fact that the 18TH
milan canal completed by the United
States after such difficulties have been
overcome. and with an enormous expen-
diture of money. should be thrown open
TO the commerce Of the world just at
time when that commerce is all but sus-
pended by the great war of the powers.
Had the canal gates been opened six
months ago a heavy stream of traffic
would have begun Immediately to flow
through them, or two months ago, or per-
haps even a month ago. But with sud-
denness that has no parallel in the his
tory of mankind blight has fallen upon
the worlds trade. Ships of all nations
are tied up In neutral ports or home
ports. afraid to venture to sea. Freights
are practically suspended in every direc-
tion. A paralysis has seized the business
world and the canal waits for custom al
most as a shop In deserted city.
But all this will soon change Traffic
will begin to move in all directions in a
fined to the land or as one or the other
side gains dominance over the seas. 1t
is unthinkable that there should be a
pTOtOHScu SUSPENSION OF ocean lTelSnIlnS
on the score Of possible interference by
the cruisers Of the hostile nations AL
ready there is some resumption OF ocean
transportation. but not in the direction
Of the canal. The coastwise trade. how
ever. must speedily be started. for the
vital needs of great multitudes of people
depend upon the use Of the sea for their
supply.
Perhaps it Is well that the canal starts
with slight demand upon 1t. for thus
the work of operation will be perfected
without strain. and the chances of mis-
haps will be lessened. 1t Is fairly GER
tain that when the war menace has been
removed the volume of sea traffic will be
enormous and the canal will be subjected
to great pressure. So in one sense Its
opening Is as timely as could possibly
have been devised Had the makers Of
this waterway had prescience Of the great
disaster Of well-nigh universal old-world
war they could not have timed their task
with more dramatic effectiveness.
