crawford had the satisfaction of assuring
all doubters that mo protest had been re-
celVed from America, but, on the contrary
within the last two days a TELEGRAM had
,eached the First Commissioner of Works
from leading men in the political, artistic
and journalistic worlds, who declared that

Lord Weardale has lately soothed any,

1T may be possible to come to some sort Of

the National Academy says that the opin-
lons he has collected are nearly all "in

pens, however, that the only statue act

to have the controversy settled on this side
of the Atlantic.
The quarrel is not altogether edifying,
yet in one sense we may perhaps regard it
rs encouraging. 1t shows at least that we
are beginning to take passionate interest
n art. A few years ago foreigners used
to reproach us with langud indifference in
all matters of this kind, but now it is quite
cloar that not only our artists but our lay
'ocn. too. and even our academicians, can
work themselves up into a great state of
genuine excitement over simple piece of
sculpture Thus the vice president of the
National Academy tells us of the "angry
opposition Of the members of the Cen
tenaly Committee, and for his own part
IS SO deeply concerned that he has act
ualy convinced himself that Mr.. Bar
nard's statue may "put in jeopardy the
relations between England and America"
or at the very least Interfere with the sue
cessful prosecution of the present war.
Who dares to say we do not take art Sc
rously enough?
The matter ought undoubtedly to be
settled at once, and perhaps the best way
to settle it is TO adopt the compromise sug-
Gested by the member who declares him

Cify Letter Rates

Many New Workers cannot understand
why letter mailed in lower Manhattan
Will be carried to the northern end of
The Bronx for two cents. while 4 thrcc
cent charge is made for delivering it at
The other end Of the Brooklyn Bridge. TO
meet complaints from merchants and
others of this inequality in rates Senator
Calder has offered an amendment to the
postoiflce appropriation bill, providing
that "the rate Of postage on drop letters
OF the first class, mailed in the CITY of
New York for delivery within the con-
fines of that city, shall be two cents an
ounce or fraction thereof"
The adoption Of this amendment would
give us a fiat charge within the city
limits. But its adoption is unlikely be-
cause it aims at excepting New York CITY
from the application of general postal
rule. If New York is exempted, then any
other postal area in the United States
can ask for a waiver Of the restrictions
OF the WAY revenue law and the purpose
of the added letter tax will be defeated to
a large extent
The real trouble here is that New York
City is not a postal unit, with a single
general postoiiice The law allows q two
cent rate on drop letters-that is, letters
to destinations within the limits of the
postal areas in which they are mailed.
Thus Manhattan and The Bronx-the old
county and city of New York-are in one
district. But Brooklyn has a separate
postofce, and there are various separate
postoflices in Staten Island. All told New
York City embraces more than dozen
distinct postal units.
The natural cure for the situation.
therefore, would be to consolidate all our
infra-clty postoifices into one postoflica, /
with drop letter rate for the whole ter
ntory. If that remedy is sought, New
" ork Will be asking no special favors of
the government. 1t will abide by the
general regulation, which is sound one.
Our multiplicity Of postollices is an in
hertance from the era before consolida-
ton. Federal patronage considerations
have stood in the way OF the unication
of the cty's postoaice organization Now
we see one Of the practical disadvantages
of segregation. We cannot in equity ask to
be relieved from this disadvantage simply
because we have never taken the trouble
to consolidate Consolidation is the true
remedy. And we have at last q compel
ling economic motive for getting rid of q
handicap we Didn't take sufficient notice
of when the outlying boroughs we're
merged with New York County to create
the municipality of greater New York.
