Vice-President Hyde scorns the request of the general agents of the able to step down and out “for the good of the Society.” ; @ action of the agents did mot go far enough. Young Hyde Is Ot big enough to serve as a scapegoat to carry into the wilderness of blivion the sins of the Equitable management. He is merely the puppet the dummy directors whom he made, They pull the strings, he and the policy-holders pay the cost. These active dummies have been guilty of every violation of law f good faith with which Mr. Hyde has been charged or has con+ d, They have shared in the illegal profits, It is not a scapegoat 4 housecleaning that is needed, The Equitable will never regain the idence of the public untif there has been Renovation, Reform and fitution from top to bottom, ‘The general agents can best serve thelr own Interest and that of the ety by asking for a thorough investigation by the Legislature, and ling for the expulsion and punishment of all officers who have broken law and made Greed rather than Justice their rule of action, The Subway cars should be better lighted, Mr, Belmont. THE HOME-COMING OF PAUL JONES. One hundred and thirteen years ago John Paul Jones, the first of great sea fighters, died in Paris, His remains have just been recovered gh the efforts of Ambassador Horace Porter. They will be brought this his adopted country for final burial, What place is so appropriate as New York? It was from this city fhat Jones sailed on his last voyage, It was heré, in 1787, that he ree ‘teived the gold medal voted to him by Congress for his gallant services ‘the war for independence, It was near to this city as it then was that ‘asked a friend to secure for him an estate on which, as he wrote, ‘T id establish myself and offer my hand to some fair daughter of Lib- 1," For, he said with prophetic foresight, ‘New York will be one of : a@ur first naval ports.” There could be no fitter resting place for the body of the brave com- limander than in the churchyard of old Trinity, where Admirals Lawrence Stewart were buried—or, if preferred, on a headland of the Hudson, tthe tomb of Grant, As our American Poet Laureate, Edmund Clar- ence Stedman, wrote of Admiral Stewart, so let it be sald of Paul Jones: i Lay him in the ground: Let him rest where the anctent river rolls; Let him skeep beneath the shadow and the sound Of the bell whose proclamation, as it tolls, Is of Freedom and the gift our fathers gave, Lay him gently down: The clamor of the town Will not break the slumbers deep, the beautiful ripe sleep Of this lion of the wave, Will not trould: the old Admiral in his grave, Gov. Higgins shows the daring of his determination in signing the k-Transfer Tax bill, DEGREES OF TURPITUDE. The Mortgage Tax bill, which Gov. Higgins is to have more time to r and perhaps to perfect, is denounced by a morning paper as ious,”” If this bill becomes a law mortgages in New York will be subject to tax of one-half of 4 per cent. instead of 4134 per cent., as now. Is not dé present law, therefore, just three times as “nefarious” as the proposed wone? ° i Is it not admission of a weak case to persist in the “Ile of suppres- as to the taxation of mortgages? , There fs a whole cataract of power in Publicity. It has killed the Niagara Grab Boodle bill. REGULATED AND RESTRICTED TRAFFIC, he » There is no large city in the civilized world where street traffic is not Pegulated and restricted in the interest of public safety and to facilitate pleasure driving, © New York has less of this needful regulation than any other great -dlty. Chicago has miles of boulevards and other parkways restricted to ‘Aight driving; Boston, Philadelphia and Washington the same, */ Yet when it is proposed to give the police power to relieve the con- sted and dangerous pam-jam of travel and traffic on Fifth avenue a q jogic and blatherskite sheet ralses the cry that the rich are trying to rive the poor truck-drivers of thelr liberty! y Of thelr “liberty” to loaf along an avenue when they have no busi- _ Ress there, hindering traffic and endangering lives and other vehiclkes— { There is no doctrine more thoroughly democratic than “the greatest of the greatest number.” And any needless crowding of a great hfare used mainly for pleasure driving and walking by “all sorts conditions of men’ should be forbidden in the interest of the hun- times greater number, i, i ~ Andrew Carnegie has the full courage of his “Triumphant [emoc- ” A POINT WORTH SAVING, Blockhouse Point, on the Hudson, 4s menaced by the trap-rock blast- It is in New Jersey, exactly opposite Seventy-second street, Man- tan, ! "> Dwellers In the Riverside Park vicinity are threatened with a three years’ continuation of the jarring bombardment by blasts which they have already endured for several years, Wei, The Point should be saved for history's sake and New Jersey’s own, In deciding to save it the Board of Chosen Freeholders would confer a "great favor on appreciative folk this side of the river and on the large ’ mumber of tourists who view yearly the “beauties of the Hudson.” » Denial of the petition of the trap-rock company as it is now before Phe board would serve far wider and higher inte than those in any "way represented by the corporation. ———— Ihe People’s Corner betters from Evenin¢ World Readers While the “Philosophy” 1 lds Ont, ‘Waltor of Tho Evening World: ‘picture in to-day's World by owers In regard to the alr 1 ‘Truat is no joke.
