Why Do They Fear Soldiers and
Sailors?

We have never been able to under.

non in England and In this country {;
In lands where universal service Is
enforced It does not obtain. Perhaps
1t is n survival Of the days Of pressed
men; whatever its origin. 1t Is highly
disturbing to all who conceive Of the
military and naval forces as honor.

such a thing rs an effective demOc-

Of public recognition.

Francis yoseph's Legacy.

AustrO-H Hungarian monarchy e the
aged ruler leave to his successor this
strange cOngeries Of peoples and races
more united and imbued with a
spirit OF nationality than ut any time

ascended the throne The bitterness Of
the Italian war was at Its height,
Hungary was In open revolt and the
Austrian empire In commissions that
threatened Its end. Time solved some
Of the vital Issues which were left to
him by the weak FERDINAND; many Of
the others Francis JOSEPH In his
reign Of slxty.eight years a unable
to solve and passed on, u Hapsburg
heritage, to his successor.
CHARLES FRANCIS JOSEPH takes up
this sovereign burden at twenty-nine.
He comes to the throne with n training
more in military than In state affairs.
He has seen service On the Gnliciun
frontier and was called from the Ru-
manian front to take up imperial rule.

thorough than 1t would have been had

1t Is not to be expected that the
war will obliterate ali these ncial or
national differences. There Is rather
reason to believe that its end will

MAN people will renew their demand
for proper representation, the Bohe.
mians and slovaks for home rule, the
Poles for recognition and the aggres-
sive Hungarian party for separation.
but will the Serbs Of the north and

In arms and diplomacy would solve
many Of Austria-H ungary's greatest

a buffer state against Russia, open the

But ever In failure he has before
him the example Of Francis JOSEPH,
with whom an Austria defeated was
never an Austria lost. During his
lifetime he never made n conquest
OF war, never returned a victor to his
capital, yet he kept his monarchy
one Of the great Powers Of Europe.
Francis JOSEPH left a nation the

Of wonderful tact, Of conscientious

Return Of the Drsms - . Dramsti,

The return Of formal drama to that
interesting part Of the city known as
Cherry Hill will be welcomed by all
admirers Of conservative art. We feel
confident that the star, ALrHED II.

cOnfine their efforts to classics like
The Shaughraun,'' Hamlet" THE
Rivals" and such. We shall not ex-
pect "A Dolls House" or ~ 'The

and Cherry Hill Is great. 1t has been
great since Mayor TON DELAvALL
picked cherries in his orchard there,
two and a half centuries ago. 1t was
great, indeed. when GEonoE WASHING
TON lived in Cherry street. In later
years, sometimes, when the drama
was played without rehearsal and
with no prOscenium arch except the
sky, Cherry Hill was almost too dra-
matte. Even nowadays Madison and
Oliver streets buzz with dramatics
that are considerably more than art.

Of means for detecting mild nonpAra.

With due Difference to the scien-

while 1T has been proved that healthy

In favor Of its being conveyed from

leave to differ from the statement In

that infection may be directly spread
from person to person." which the
committee acknowledges can seldom

detected cases has not been and can-
not be ascertained. the claim that
"they are considerably more numer-
GUS" does not adequately explain the
Inconsistency Of assuming personal

We say this in no captious spirit,
but simply to point out the fact that
the attitude Of THE Sun with regard
to the quarantine hysteria which OBJ
sessed our people last summer was
substantially correct.
The recommendations Of the com.
mlttee for the prevention and man.
agement Of the disease are excellent.
They require the prompt report Of all
cases, their isolation in screened
premises, dislnfection Of all body dis
charges and restriction Of the move

Let 10 briefly Analyxe this sentence
and Sc how full Of the most threaten
ing dangers to the very foundations In
law Of the republic II certainly 10:
virst-The President Of the republic
has put himself under an obligation to
the leaders of the labor unions. How?
BY forcing through Congress the law
which they demanded In favor Of their
interests? Or because II was the re-
ward Of the vote Of these unions which.
as they imagine. rave him his reelec-
ton?
S~econd-The President Is to pay the
debt which he owes the labor union by
using his influence to get a certain
decision from the courts, probably from
the Supreme Court OF the republic.
And how Is he to use his influence when
he has no more constitutional right to
influence the judicial branch OF the re-
public than has the most humble and
inconspicuous Of its citisens?
Surely here are At work ideas Of .
quite appalling nature a. TO what the
Constitution Of the United States, which

OUR FIRST STEAM ROAD.
IL Ran From Prince Street to Union
Square In November. 1892.

To II EpiroR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
was eighty-four years ago this month
that the first stretch OF the New York
city railroad was completed n the
first railroad train run thereon. The
railroad was the New York and Harlem,
chartered In the year 1891. Ground
was first broken In the vicinity OF Muir
ray Hill. while tracks were at the same
time being laid below that point.
by November. 1889. the Harlem Rail-
road had completed a mile of single
track from Prince street along the Bow
cry TO Fourteenth street. There were
those who had thought that the streets
would he injured by laying down the
tracks. but they turned out TO he as
good as ever throughout the entire
length. The first railroad trip on his
railroad, and In fact In the city Of New
York, took place on November II, 1882.
A graphic account OF IL is contained I'm
the Morning Courier and Enquirer Of
the following morning:
| The Harlem Railroad Company with the
Mayor. Corporation and strangers Of dis.
t~inction left the city Hall In carriages to
the place Of dcpo, near Union Square
where two splendid cars made by Milne
Parker. each with two horses. were In
waiting. These ears are made low with
broad iron wheels which NJ the nanxrs Of

omnihuses attached to each other. padded
with fine cloth and handsome glass win
4 dows, each capable Of containing. Outside
and inside. full forty passengers. The com.
pany was soon seated and the horses
! trottcd on In handsome style with great
ease at the rate Of about twelve miles an
hour. followed by a number Of private
barouches ami horsemcn. Groups Of spec
tators greeted the passengers Of tho cars
with shouts and every window In the Row
cry was filed.
The distance was not far from the old resi-.
dence or farm Of Governor Stuyyesant and

that witches and wariocks had been at

who made violent objections to laying
down these tracks. and fancicd a thousand
dangers 10 the passing travellers, now look
at tho work with pleasure AMI surprise.
Carriages Of all kinds now cross and re-
| cross the railway without impcdiment; and
there exists not a single objection to bring
