Some agitation has Ikhmi aroused by the expulsion of a man named spiller. an Auierii-au citizen, from Panama for making himself offensive to the canal administration. There anpeara to lx» si diffcrei,.e if opinion betn'reu Ihe Presi- dent of I'uuauia and the Supreme Court of that republic concerning the ri^lit and jiower of ihe Executive to ex|<el hiuj. indi'iHl. the Supreme Court is re- Itorted to have declared ihat the l're>l- deut'K decree, of expulsion was ille^il and to have ordered the man's release, which order the President apjM-ars to have ignored. That is a matter which we may leave to the Punauiau authori- ties to settlt* for theiiiS4*lv»-s. It is not for Americans to construe the constitu- tion of Panama or lo define the Hiuit.s of executive authority. What Mr. Hearst particularly need- hi n record for consistency. That is a diffi- cult prescription for a man who has at- tacked Tammany one year, only to make an alliance with it the next, and who has attacked the Republicans, only to co op- erate with them '>n the earliest possible occasion. But though he hasn't it now there N no season why he should not cultivate it, if he possesses patience and sufficient resolution. If lie shoatd stand like \u25a0 Boose lonian, indifferent lo every consideration but principle, decttelnf ro ggcrMea f<>r the sake of the transient op- partsjajfetteg of poHtlra the ranrirtlona which his followers bettere him to hold, who would venture to predk*! th* place he might o^-iipy in the leadership of mdii-nlismV There is plenty of sentiment of this >ort which a really earnest l<adi r ssing the means of publicity in Mr. Hearvfs hands might rally to himself. And not only is Mr. Hearst's present course politic from the point of view gf his own ambitions l>-it it may lie gf ser- vice to the public in this city, fnr <oii- gtatent apposition to Tammany Hall on his part would divorce from it much of its natural support. However, the pub- lic is prepared for almost anything from Mr IlearM. exn-pt consistency. ur HEARSTS ALOOFXESS. Mr. Hearst's present resolution to re- main independent is wise and practical. He has evidently learned a lesson from his mistaken combination with Murphy in 1005. That step cost him a large part of his following and gave irre^istiMe point to the attack upon his sincerity. The result of it was that this year he had to begin all over Bgam just whore he was four years ago. If lie had remained aloof during the four fears since bis re- tnarkal.le run \u25a0 IIKjT> and pieeerred :i consistency that suggested firm princi- pies and a resolute adherence to them he would have l»een a gflgjrh larger Igjare in the city than he is to-day. If he sticks to his guns now he may retrieve much ground before New York comes to elect- ing a Mayor again. Thus we get a glimpse of the picking up of the crumbs as they fall from the rich man's table, the petty patronage :;ed over with anxiety, the little contracts which bid fnlr to sMp out of hand because of an intractable Street Cleaning Commissioner, the provision for some one with "stock" to dispose of Id regard to a code that never will be paused. But particularly interesting is the anxiety with which signs are watched for of the falling of crumbs from the Mayor-elect's hands. "All ap- plications that the judge receives at St. "Janien." writes the correspondent, "he. "forwards to Hyde To tile, so when the "time comes, as I suppose from Hyde's remarks, on your return to the city. th<»v "will l>e taken up. < har!i.» [Hyde] |g "very friendly." It mist be cheering in this time of stress and anxiety for UM to be assured that the Mayor-elect's factotum is "very friendly." We won- der the correspondent omitted to say that when he called the fudge*' <>"£ wagged his tail very pleasantly. TUB CRUUBS. The correspondence of the Tammany leaders with Charles 1\ Murphy pub- lished In yesterday's "New York Amer- ican" presents a picture of Tammany picking up the crumbs that fall off the table. The boss Is exhibited as sending "special delivery letters" to teek Infor- mation as to what the reorganlzers are about. He Is reassured gf his corre- spondents concerning "Menken" and Judge O*Brlen, and obtains the in- formation, on Inquiry, that his nephew has twice been appointed a receiver by one of the Judges. One of the leaders, who is afraid that "Whitman" will re- move a Sl..*' 1111 man, is anxious to inter- est the boss in having him sheltered from the storm to come in a $2,000 of- fice to be filled by the General Sessions Judges. "Edwards." as the l>os<? is informed by one of the corre^]K>ndeuts. "wants to "get that sprinkling let before January "1. 1 am afraid to take a chance with "him now from the way he acted on "the snow." "We must get wood in the Code" (the Building Code, presumably writes the same correspondent, who gave "instructions that the stock should be made out to me." the first, as we have tald. seemed to probable that our government was act- ing with at lenut as full knowledge of affairs as any one else possessed, ati<l that both patriotism and common sense prescribed that we should have a rea- sonable degree of confidence in its In- tegrity, discretion and Information, and abouid regard it as being at least as likely to be In the right as in the wrong. And we must say that when the peo- ple of Managua Itself are surrounding the American Consulate in that city with enthu«.i \u25a0•\u25a0 and grateful cries of "Long live the United States!" it does seem a trifle ridiculous for anybody to lament that Secretary Knox'e attitude toward \lr Zelaya has offended and alienated all Latin* America. It may have been heroic and patriotic for a Chinaman to cut off his little finger Ma part of an appeal ugalnat a foreign rullroad loan, but In thla distant and be- nighted land the pertinence of the act to The pllcht of the Democratic party la remlnl*. cut of the hnmaly v. rae of % H'eit- ei n tlial»-ft |.«ei. avho wrote: "When I">|' was v little boj like in* Btrauire i'«-t* he wan ulwaya glttin'; li«- wiiit into ibe lields one aajr And fought a pretty kitten, A sort of atflpM kitten.

There la apparently no need for the United States to use force In Nicaragua. The Nicaraguans themselves are doing enough of that. The Inventor of Esperanto is receiv- ing many congratulations on attaining the a** <\u25a0?• t'uty years, which we may re- gard as amiable exi»i-essions of those who have become interested in his in- hi.ins Lut futile attempt to replace the Kngli.-Oi language with an artitlcial speech of his own devising. Otherwise, neither bis age nor his services to hu- manity would seem to call for special remark above those of thouHundu of other men for whom no celebration Is made. Perhaps It is well thus to glorify Esperanto at this time, for It Is a pretty safe ruess that In another fifty years it will be remembered chiefly by those with an antiquarian's taste for the curious and the more than half for- gotten.

LOGICAL DEDUCTIONS PROHIBITED Dees it pay to be good, and ti» Rt how good can one afford to be? Ought one to turn the Colden Rule and flic Ten Commandments to the wall before start- ing out to acquire success, or is it pos- sible to preserve the former lntnct and Landle the latter six days a week with- out doing with them as Moses did with the originals when he brought them down from tho mountain? These are rmong the questions suggested by the statement of the «'onirolltr with regard to certain schools in Jamaica. According to Mr. Metz, if any gffjg wants to get the ni'linients of an educa- tion in the Borough nf Qajeeeja. it is iint <lcsimble to make the ntti'tnpt through the regular channels. It is said that the City of New V*>rk. in \u25a0( least one of its public schools iv the Ix.roti-li across tlie i>ri<ij.'<\ is permitting its children to sit in the floor. And for purposes of com- parison tlie city Parental School, also situated in Qajgcag, is inenti«>n»>d. wltn the suggestion that in that institution the l«ad children are kept in something iipproaching luxury. The cost to the city of each inmat Of the I*arental School is placed at about >1.200 a year. \u25a0 sum which would pay for the main- tenan<-e of a good pupil one who 13 compelled to acquire his early Instruc- tion while sitting cross-legged on the floor for \u25a0 HMMtcr time in one of the higher institutions of learning. Perhaps uueens is to Manic for grow- ing so fast that the pill. school sys- tem cannot keep up with it. Perhaps the children are to blame for feeling the Impulae to learning to gnrti an extent that tiny rtOWd th<« faciliti'-s which a wise stnd beneficent administration IHU provided for them. Ami perhaps fnat jiloi"einentioi;e<l wise ati'l lieiu ticent a<l- ministration has been so busily enga^ r e<l in tlie laudable task of spending its ni..iiey where it would do the most good for the friends of the administration— that the little non-voters in Queens, and if some other sections of the greater city, have beegj neglected. It is to be hoped that by the time the pupils get far enough advanc.'d In their studies to draw conclusions as to the relative val- ues of good and evil, they will not only have all the seals and other accommo- dations they need but will have forgot- ten their earlier experiences in tolling glegJg the educational pathway.

The expediency of chanKlng the stand- ard prescribed for illuminating gas U being considered by the Public Service Commission for the 2d District, which has invited representatives of the pro- ducing companies within its Jurisdiction to a conference on the subject soon to be held In Albany. The question to be decided is whether or not the commis- Bion shall have authority to dictate the heating quality of gas instead of its lighting power, the advisability of the change having been suggested l>y a re- port which affirms that the former Is now more important than the latter. Whatever may be true outxide the me- tropolis, the plan has something to com- mend it here. An enormous quantity of gas Is burned here for cooking. The gas iange is said to be, and probably i», more economical than the coal range, and it is unquestionably more conven- ient. Besides, a considerable propor- tion of the light obtained with gas is de- rived from heating Incaudescent mantles by a nearly invisible flame. For these two classes of service together more gas Is needed than for the production of light In the old-fashioned way. If, as is not unlikely, a gas for use merely in developing heat cau be manu- factured more cheaply than one required to produce a luminous flame, and if the public should be enabled to profit by the reduction In cost, a good reason inlfrht be offered for substituting a calorific for n photometric test. But the step should not be taken without careful considera- tion. Consumers who, from choice op necessity, use gas for lighting purposes, would protest against any innovation tending to reduce its Illuminating power. said to have been rullty. cause this c»)untry much expense and trouble, and there Is little doubt that undtr . the Jurisdiction of the Canal Zone he would be / pummarlly dealt with. The govern- ment of the I'nlted States would scarce- ly permit v man thus to Interfere with its work. But It was ne»-es«ary for the Panaman President to net, because of the complicated division of territorial tsoverelsnty at the Isthmus. I'unauia la supreme throughout tho republic save in the Canal Zoue. and the United States Is supreme In the Canal Zone save In the cities of Colon and Panama. Thus there 19 an imperium in impcrio in imperio, Panama controlling two cities In the territory which the I'nlted States controls within the territory of Panama. There seems to be no fear of friction between tills country and Pana- ma over the episode, and It Is scarcely to be expected that Spiller will make much headway in appealing for r»-»lr»»;s to the government in whose behalf ne has b«aaj turned out of Panama.

She hu beea h«r« undergoing r«p«ln at New U>o4«n, A ROYAL GERMAN WEDDING A QUESTION FOR MR. METZ. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir? As a matter of well known public interest I desire to state that the property owners representing a majority of the aaa eased valuations on Sixth and Seventh avenues and the old Ninth Ward peti- tioned the Board of Estimate and Appor- tionment two years ago for the extension of these avenues to Varick street and the widening of that street to Franklin and West Broadway. The movement was indorsed by the Merchants' Association, the Merchants and Manufacturers" P-oara of Trade, the Automobile Company of America and the Team Owners' Association, said to number upward of 2o.OOO; also by thirty-two of the leading real estate brokers and deal- ers, all taxpayers and selected for their special knowledge of Urn conditions. in addition to this there were a number of personal letters written to the Mayor by citizens distinguished in the affairs of the i-ity, whose recommendations alone warranted the improvements. The Mayor handed the matter over to Mr. NVlmih P. Lewis, chief engineer of the board, and on Ins report ' it waa re- ferred to a committee of the board comp- osed of the Controller, Borough President and President of the Board of Aldermen. This committee promised a like committee .representing upward of a hundred million tio'.Ur.s of Manhattan realty that It would do all that it could to puss these exten- sions and improvements as soon as the Controller knew where the city stood financially. Both the Controller and the Borough President made strong speeches in favor of the movement. Moreover, the Controller wrote on April 11, 1903: I have no hesitancy in saying that next to transportation the extension and widening <>f Seventh avenue and its con- necting links are of the most vital im- portance to the business Interests of Man- hattan, and I certainly will do all I can to further that improvement as soon as we know jti^t where we stand financially. This was to be determined by the deci- sion of the Court of Appeals on Cieneral Tracy's report, a previous paragraph in th» letter so statin?. This decision was rendered six weeks ago Un<l has given the city ample money to carry out the Improvement. Moreo\er, the Qualification of transportation made by th-» Controller has since been provided for by the constitutional amendment placing subway bonds outside of the debt limit. Besides, there is plenty of private capital ready to build all the subways needed. Therefore, the transportation question be- ing provided for, there Is no longer a valid excuse for the Controller not keeping hl» promise and agreement. These extension* are not only a matter of "vital importance to the business Inter- eeta," an the Controller a;iys. but an act of Blmple Justice to the property owners who have been paying taxes year after year on Increased valuations to benefit other localities without receiving a quid pro quo. But the time has arrived when assess- ments will have to be reduced from 80 per cent to 40 per cent, or owners given a chanco to reorganize their holding* through these extensions and obtain more rentals. The matter, I am told. U In the handa of the Controller, who can pass the im- provements or defeat them, and the ques- tion is. Will he keep hla promise to the committee i.f property owners? Personally. Ibelieve that he will. Mr. Metz is a business man, und i itiaena of that cfass arc alwuys careful about keep> lug their obligations. C. C. IIICKOIC. New York. Da* 8. 1S0&.

To the l-Mit.r of TaM Tnhune. Sir: In my letter of the llfh lnst. about the execution of Cannon and Groco I did not mean, as you seem to have understood in your editorial of this morning, that President Zelaya was Justified simply be- cause the two men put to death were Americans and not Nicaraguans. but I wished to express my opinion that he wu right in shooting them as revolutionists Considering the prin-iple laid down by Charles L«e that "a subject of a foreign power, acting under a commission from the hostile government, should be treated as an enemy, and confined as a prisoner of war," I will ask you if you think that Charles Lee considered a party In rebellion as a hostile government? The opinion expressed by Mr. Webster at the time of the Texas rebellion shows once more that "might makes right." Does the United States want to apply the rule in the present case? MAl'HIi'E DA. New York, Dec. 14. 190». WORDS OF APPRECIATION. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Recognizing In the subscription to a letter to The Tribune a friend In Pennsyl- vania makes me feel like having my little say In praise of your newspaper. It is a great saving of time to find the important items cf news surometl up as In the column on the editorial page. When time Is scarce one may by a moment's glance get an understanding of the main occurrences of tße day. One thing greatly in The Tribune's favor Is its choice quality of wit. The selections are of the clean, clear and sparkling ktnd. The luxury of such a paper for one cent is highly appreciated. It is gladdening to see so ative a paper by Its reduction of price brought within the reach of "all the people." It is not at all surprising that orie after another srn<ls in a letter of ap- preciation, for in buying The Tribune one certainly makes a penny go the furthest possible in purchasing power.

Three hundred Parisians. mm ami women, recently partook of a horseflesh dinner at the Palais Koyal in commemora- tion of the two sieges of Parl*. of which they were heroes and heroines. The scheme was got up by a committee of vet- eran survivor* of 1870. who invited wery one who had passed through the horrors of those days. Three hundred at once re- sponded to the call and ate horseflesh with enthusiasm. The dinner was presided over by Mme. Juliette Adam, and speeches were made by Mme. Severlne and others, who recalled the heroic memories of the tragi-: days. Of course, other dishes were served, and the banquet was not quite ho frugal a.s were the meals during the "aniie« ter- rible." "I am looking for a quiet place to rest." taifi t'no tiie<l looking man. "I think we t\m safely promise you all the comforts of home, assured the sea- shore hotel clerk. •Not on your life:" exclaimed tho tired looking man. "I've been marrrted nine years and have seven cnlldrt'n*" Philadel- phia Record. Another new sphere of usefulness has been Invaded by woman, says the "Tech- nische Zeitung," of Munich. Miss Anna Heinrichsdorff, of Moscow, after studying four years at the Berlin Polytechnlcal In- stitute, passed the electrical engineer's ex- amination in all Its branches, receiving in each one the mark "excellent." She Is the first woman to receive an engineer's di- ploma in Germany. "She Is one of the women" aiids tho writer "who do the women's cause more roo«1 than thousands «f marchins:. preaching and .scolding suf- fraKettes. She has demonstrated her equality with man." THE TALK OF THE DAY. The Boston municipal campaign is evidently on In earnest. 'The Boston Transcript" goes after the enemy In an article headed. "A Mountebank for Mayor." Does "Johnny Fitz's" dancing deserve such harsh words as these? The work of waterway Improvement should not be regarded as a mere resid- uary legatee of Congress, nor should ap- propriations for It be treated as a "pork barrel." It Is gravely declared that the pour- ing of the sewage of the Passalc Valley Into New York Bay— lnto which, as a matter of fact. Itis n<iw largely poured would menace the healthfulness of oyster beds In those waters. But could oyster bf ds be healthful upon which the sewage of New York City lt«»'lf was poured? The unexpected appearan-e ajfl Presi- dent Taft at the Bowery Mission on Monday nljcht and the words he. spoke to the eager listeners there gave pleas- ure ami encouragement because the sym- pathetic feeling which the.y expressed was seen and felt to be genuine. There was not a trace of patronage In what the President said, or of that mere curl- r-Mty which the unfortunate naturally and deeply resent. His appreciation of the conditions which he saw Illustrated before him. his frank reference to the contrast which his own circumstances I resented, hts obvious wish that some helpful stimulus might go out from him to his hearers, gave those keen dlßcrlm- Inators between the true and the false a clear sight of the man behind the title. It was a real service which the Pr. -I- nent rendered In the right spirit—real because the spirit was right. A current Item from the steady soinff State of Maine tells of the curioua antics of a pumpkin, whl'-h were found on ex- amination to be' -bui«il by an animal which had got its h.^ad Inextricably caught In a hole in t. v< a gourd; and It ppeaks of the creature indifferently a«i a ekunk or a polecat. It Is an unfragrant BiiLJect. and not of epochal importance, but perhaps It may be worth while for the thousandth time to correct that c.,m- mon blunder by remarking that the skunk _nd th»> polecat are two very dlf- ferent animals, of entirely different ap- pearance, habits, and— which Is perhaps most to the pomt odor. The polecat or fitch, which is not. we think, found In this country, is a kind of weasel, which has an unpleasant odor, but which alto- gether lacks th» power of projecting Its offensive secretion to a distance, which is the unique characteristic of the skunk. However, either of the creatures by any other name would smell as bad. the question under discussion la not ap- parent. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, THTTWDAY. DECEMBER 16, 1909.

It is notfor Americans to construe the constitu-tion of Panama or lo define the Hiuit.sof executive authority.

What Mr. Hearst particularly need- hin record for consistency. That is a diffi-cult prescription for a man who has at-tacked Tammany one year, only to makean alliance with it the next, and who hasattacked the Republicans, only to co op-erate with them '>n the earliest possibleoccasion. But though he hasn't it nowthere N no season why he should notcultivate it, ifhe possesses patience andsufficient resolution.

He has evidently learned a lesson fromhis mistaken combination with Murphy

in 1005. That step cost him a large part

of his following and gave irre^istiMepoint to the attack upon his sincerity.The result of it was that this year hehad to begin all over Bgam just whore hewas four years ago. Iflie had remainedaloof during the four fears since bis re-

TUB CRUUBS.

The correspondence of the Tammany

leaders with Charles 1\ Murphy pub-

lished In yesterday's "New York Amer-ican" presents a picture of Tammany

picking up the crumbs that fall off thetable. The boss Is exhibited as sending

"special delivery letters" to teek Infor-mation as to what the reorganlzers areabout. He Is reassured gf his corre-spondents concerning "Menken" andJudge O*Brlen, and obtains the in-formation, on Inquiry, that his nephewhas twice been appointed a receiver by

one of the Judges. One of the leaders,

who is afraid that "Whitman" will re-move a Sl..*'1111 man, is anxious to inter-est the boss in having him shelteredfrom the storm to come in a $2,000 of-fice to be filled by the General SessionsJudges.

the first, as we have tald. seemed to u«probable that our government was act-ing with at lenut as full knowledge ofaffairs as any one else possessed, ati<lthat both patriotism and common senseprescribed that we should have a rea-sonable degree of confidence in its In-tegrity, discretion and Information, andabouid regard it as being at least aslikely to be In the right as in the wrong.

And we must say that when the peo-ple of Managua Itself are surrounding

the American Consulate in that city with

enthu«.i \u25a0•\u25a0 and grateful cries of "Long

live the United States!" it does seem a

trifle ridiculous for anybody to lamentthat Secretary Knox'e attitude toward\lr Zelaya has offended and alienatedall Latin*America.

LOGICAL DEDUCTIONSPROHIBITEDDees it pay to be good, and ti»Rt how

good can one afford to be? Ought oneto turn the Colden Rule and flic TenCommandments to the wall before start-ing out to acquire success, or is it pos-sible to preserve the former lntnct andLandle the latter six days a week with-out doing with them as Moses did withthe originals when he brought themdown from tho mountain? These arermong the questions suggested by thestatement of the «'onirolltr with regardto certain schools in Jamaica.

According to Mr. Metz, if any gffjg

wants to get the ni'linients of an educa-tion in the Borough nf Qajeeeja. it is iint<lcsimble to make the ntti'tnpt through

the regular channels. Itis said that theCity of New V*>rk. in \u25a0( least one of itspublic schools iv the Ix.roti-li across tliei>ri<ij.'<\ is permitting its children to sitin the floor. And for purposes of com-parison tlie city Parental School, alsosituated in Qajgcag, is inenti«>n»>d. wltnthe suggestion that in that institutionthe l«ad children are kept in something

iipproaching luxury. The cost to thecity of each inmat • Of the I*arentalSchool is placed at about >1.200 a year.\u25a0 sum which would pay for the main-tenan<-e of a good pupil

Perhaps uueens is to Manic for grow-ing so fast that the pill. school sys-tem cannot keep up with it. Perhaps

the children are to blame for feeling theImpulae to learning to gnrti an extent

for the friends of the administration—that the little non-voters in Queens, andif some other sections of the greater

city, have beegj neglected. It is to behoped that by the time the pupils getfar enough advanc.'d In their studies todraw conclusions as to the relative val-ues of good and evil, they will not only

have all the seals and other accommo-dations they need but will have forgot-

WBW TESTS FOR GAS.The expediency of chanKlng the stand-

ard prescribed for illuminating gas Ubeing considered by the Public ServiceCommission for the 2d District, whichhas invited representatives of the pro-ducing companies within its Jurisdictionto a conference on the subject soon to

be held In Albany. The question to bedecided is whether or not the commis-Bion shall have authority to dictate theheating quality of gas instead of itslighting power, the advisability of thechange having been suggested l>y a re-port which affirms that the former Isnow more important than the latter.

Whatever may be true outxide the me-tropolis, the plan has something to com-mend ithere. An enormous quantity ofgas Is burned here for cooking. The gas

iange is said to be, and probably i»,

more economical than the coal range,and it is unquestionably more conven-ient. Besides, a considerable propor-tion of the light obtained with gas is de-rived from heating Incaudescent mantlesby a nearly invisible flame. For thesetwo classes of service together more gas

Is needed than for the production oflight In the old-fashioned way.

If, as is not unlikely, a gas for usemerely in developing heat cau be manu-factured more cheaply than one requiredto produce a luminous flame, and if thepublic should be enabled to profitby thereduction In cost, a good reason inlfrhtbe offered for substituting a calorific forn photometric test. But the step shouldnot be taken without careful considera-tion. Consumers who, from choice op

necessity, use gas for lighting purposes,would protest against any innovationtending to reduce its Illuminating power.

said to have been rullty. cause thisc»)untry much expense and trouble, andthere Is little doubt that undtr . theJurisdiction of the Canal Zone he wouldbe /pummarlly dealt with. The govern-ment of the I'nlted States would scarce-ly permit v man thus to Interfere withits work. But It was ne»-es«ary for thePanaman President to net, because ofthe complicated division of territorialtsoverelsnty at the Isthmus.

There seems to be no fear of

friction between tills country and Pana-ma over the episode, and It Is scarcelyto be expected that Spiller will makemuch headway in appealing for r»-»lr»»;s

to the government in whose behalf nehas b«aaj turned out of Panama.

A ROYAL GERMAN WEDDING

A QUESTION FOR MR. METZ.To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir? As a matter of well known publicinterest Idesire to state that the propertyowners representing a majority of theaaa eased valuations on Sixth and Seventhavenues and the old Ninth Ward peti-tioned the Board of Estimate and Appor-tionment two years ago for the extensionof these avenues to Varick street and thewidening of that street to Franklin andWest Broadway.

The movement was indorsed by theMerchants' Association, the Merchantsand Manufacturers" P-oara of Trade, theAutomobile Company of America and theTeam Owners' Association, said to numberupward of 2o.OOO; also by thirty-two ofthe leading real estate brokers and deal-ers, all taxpayers and selected for theirspecial knowledge of Urn conditions. inaddition to this there were a number ofpersonal letters written to the Mayor bycitizens distinguished in the affairs ofthe i-ity, whose recommendations alonewarranted the improvements.

The Mayor handed the matter over toMr. NVlmih P. Lewis, chief engineer ofthe board, and on Ins report

'it waa re-

ferred to a committee of the board comp-

osed of the Controller, Borough Presidentand President of the Board of Aldermen.This committee promised a like committee.representing upward of a hundred milliontio'.Ur.s of Manhattan realty that It woulddo all that it could to puss these exten-sions and improvements as soon as theController knew where the city stoodfinancially. Both the Controller and theBorough President made strong speechesin favor of the movement. Moreover, theController wrote on April 11, 1903:Ihave no hesitancy in saying that

next to transportation the extension andwidening <>f Seventh avenue and its con-necting links are of the most vital im-portance to the business Interests of Man-hattan, and Icertainly will do all Icanto further that improvement as soon aswe know jti^t where we stand financially.

This was to be determined by the deci-sion of the Court of Appeals on CieneralTracy's report, a previous paragraph inth» letter so statin?.

This decision was rendered six weeksago Un<l has given the city ample money tocarry out the Improvement. Moreo\er, theQualification of transportation made by th-»Controller has since been provided for bythe constitutional amendment placingsubway bonds outside of the debt limit.Besides, there is plenty of private capitalready to build all the subways needed.Therefore, the transportation question be-ing provided for, there Is no longer a validexcuse for the Controller not keeping hl»promise and agreement.

These extension* are not only a matterof "vital importance to the business Inter-eeta," an the Controller a;iys. but an act ofBlmple Justice to the property owners whohave been paying taxes year after yearon Increased valuations to benefit otherlocalities without receiving a quid pro quo.But the time has arrived when assess-ments will have to be reduced from 80per cent to 40 per cent, or owners givena chanco to reorganize their holding*through these extensions and obtain morerentals.

The matter, Iam told. U In the handaof the Controller, who can pass the im-provements or defeat them, and the ques-tion is. Will he keep hla promise to thecommittee i.f property owners?

Personally. Ibelieve that he will. Mr.Metz is a business man, und iitiaena ofthat cfass arc alwuys careful about keep>lug their obligations. C. C. IIICKOIC.

STATUS OF REVOLUTIONISTS.To the l-Mit.r of TaM Tnhune.

Sir: In my letter of the llfh lnst. aboutthe execution of Cannon and Groco Ididnot mean, as you seem to have understoodin your editorial of this morning, thatPresident Zelaya was Justified simply be-cause the two men put to death wereAmericans and not Nicaraguans. but Iwished to express my opinion that he wuright in shooting them as revolutionists

Considering the prin-iple laid down by

Charles L«e that "a subject of a foreignpower, acting under a commission from thehostile government, should be treated asan enemy, and confined as a prisoner ofwar," Iwill ask you if you think thatCharles Lee considered a party In rebellionas a hostile government?

•The opinion expressed by Mr. Webster at

the time of the Texas rebellion shows oncemore that "might makes right."

Does the United States want to applythe rule in the present case?

• WORDS OF APPRECIATION.To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: Recognizing In the subscription to aletter to The Tribune a friend In Pennsyl-vania makes me feel like having my littlesay In praise of your newspaper.It is a great saving of time to find the

important items cf news surometl up as Inthe column on the editorial page. Whentime Is scarce one may by a moment'sglance get an understanding of the mainoccurrences of tße day. One thing greatlyin The Tribune's favor Is its choice qualityof wit. The selections are of the clean,clear and sparkling ktnd.

The luxury of such a paper for one centis highly appreciated. It is gladdening tosee so ative a paper by Its reduction ofprice brought within the reach of "all thepeople." It is not at all surprising thatorie after another srn<ls in a letter of ap-preciation, for in buying The Tribune onecertainly makes a penny go the furthestpossible in purchasing power.

Three hundred Parisians. mm amiwomen, recently partook of a horsefleshdinner at the Palais Koyal in commemora-tion of the two sieges of Parl*. of whichthey were heroes and heroines. Thescheme was got up by a committee of vet-

eran survivor* of 1870. who invited wery

one who had passed through the horrorsof those days. Three hundred at once re-sponded to the call and ate horseflesh withenthusiasm. The dinner was presided overby Mme. Juliette Adam, and speeches weremade by Mme. Severlne and others, whorecalled the heroic memories of the tragi-:days. Of course, other dishes were served,and the banquet was not quite ho frugala.s were the meals during the "aniie« ter-rible."

Another new sphere of usefulness hasbeen Invaded by woman, says the "Tech-nische Zeitung," of Munich. Miss AnnaHeinrichsdorff, of Moscow, after studying

four years at the Berlin Polytechnlcal In-stitute, passed the electrical engineer's ex-amination in all Its branches, receiving ineach one the mark "excellent." She Is thefirst woman to receive an engineer's di-ploma in Germany. "She Is one of thewomen" aiids tho writer "who do thewomen's cause more roo«1 than thousands«f marchins:. preaching and .scolding suf-fraKettes. She has demonstrated herequality with man."

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The Boston municipal campaign is

evidently on In earnest. 'The BostonTranscript" goes after the enemy In anarticle headed. "A Mountebank forMayor." Does "Johnny Fitz's" dancing

deserve such harsh words as these?

The work of waterway Improvement

should not be regarded as a mere resid-uary legatee of Congress, nor should ap-propriations for Itbe treated as a "pork

barrel."

It Is gravely declared that the pour-ing of the sewage of the Passalc Valley

Into New York Bay— lnto which, as amatter of fact. Itis n<iw largely poured

—would menace the healthfulness of oyster

beds In those waters. But could oyster

bf ds be healthful upon which the sewage

of New York City lt«»'lf was poured?

The unexpected appearan-e ajfl Presi-dent Taft at the Bowery Mission onMonday nljcht and the words he. spoke

to the eager listeners there gave pleas-

ure ami encouragement because the sym-pathetic feeling which the.y expressedwas seen and felt to be genuine. There

was not a trace of patronage In whatthe President said, or of that mere curl-r-Mty which the unfortunate naturally

and deeply resent. His appreciation ofthe conditions which he saw Illustratedbefore him. his frank reference to the

contrast which his own circumstances

Iresented, hts obvious wish that somehelpful stimulus might go out from himto his hearers, gave those keen dlßcrlm-Inators between the true and the false aclear sight of the man behind the title.It was a real service which the Pr. -I-

nent rendered In the right spirit—realbecause the spirit was right.

A current Item from the steady soinffState of Maine tells of the curioua anticsof a pumpkin, whl'-h were found on ex-amination to be' -bui«il by an animalwhich had got its h.^ad Inextricably

caught In a hole in t.v<a gourd; and Itppeaks of the creature indifferently a«i

a ekunk or a polecat. ItIs an unfragrant

BiiLJect. and not of epochal importance,

but perhaps It may be worth while for

the thousandth time to correct that c.,m-

mon blunder by remarking that theskunk _nd th»> polecat are two very dlf-

ferent animals, of entirely different ap-pearance, habits, and— which Is perhapsmost to the pomt

—odor. The polecat or

fitch, which is not. we think, found In

this country, is a kind of weasel, whichhas an unpleasant odor, but which alto-gether lacks th» power of projecting Its

offensive secretion to a distance, whichis the unique characteristic of the skunk.However, either of the creatures by any

other name would smell as bad.

the question under discussion la not ap-parent.
