One, statesman intimates in public a deep dislike of the ways of an opponent, and the opponent, | imetdad of resorting to cither the retort courteous, the quip modest, the reply churlish, the reproof valiant, the countercheck quarrelsome, the lie with circumstance or the lie direct, gets out a writ and aske for damages. a The new plan has ite advantages. It relieves the summer from mech heated language that in times past on election years has too often distracted the attention of the public from happier and worthier things, The casual reader would note some morning that a pros- pective candidate had called another either a liar or a boss. Next _ ay he‘would have to read the reply. Then would follow a series of | 4 eriminations, recriminatione, iterations, reiterations, verberations and Teverberations for weeks, with no satisfaction at the end, and the! reader in pursuing the theme and discussing it with his fellows would | Jase moments that he might have given to undisturbed emoke, spoon- + ing or sleep. a In place of the old contentions we are to have libel suite. They postpone issues for the present, and the future is likely to postpone them. At any rate, the public forgets the preliminaries anyhow as mR © eoen as the campaign opens and the big guns roar. 4 A CAMPAIGN FOR HOME RULE. M's: MITOHEL/S plea before the Chautauqua assembly | for a constitution that will guarantee every city in the| State a full measure of self-government is a timely begin- hing for a campaign of education. Such a campaign is the more Becessary because constitutional conventions are prone to follow the | @angel of doctrinaires and set up centralized government where} ) there should be local liberty. ae The Mayor puts the whole issue tersely and clearly in the demand: | “The people of New York (ity shall be empowere4 to frame their | own charter in their own way, submit it to the people of the city for | Spproval or rejection, and then keep it in force without meddlesome ) interference from any accidental Legislature which may wish to inter- veme on matters of local concern or pass special acts at the behests of special interests.” a Tneidentally it is worth recalling that supervision given to the State government over some of the most important affairs of the city > government is the cause of many corrupt alliances between evil ele- _ * ments in the city and"in the State. ER The isoue is an old one, the facts are familiar. The important thing now is to strengthen popular sentiment in favor of home rule yy 0 that there may be no neglect of it when the convention meets next ae ; ———_—-— | THE STUBBORN AND THE PLACID. & A GAINST the complaints of the public concerning its inade- , quate service the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company showed iteelf stubborn in the-rearing before Commissioner Williams, and in the face of that stubborahess the Public Service Commission | shows iteelf placid. It was pointed out that even if the Commission ordered the company to run additional trains, the company hasn’t the | equipment to provide them, It was intimated that the company _~ doesn’t intend to increase its equipment, that the Commission doesn’t ~ intend to order the company to do 80, and, finally, that the company ‘wouldn’t obey such an order if made. The explanation offered for this combination of stubbornness and plecidity is that the company has concluded that when the new subway fe im operation so much traffic will be diverted from the “L” and warface cars that the present equipment for those lines will suffice. Se congestion is to continue and improvements are to wait in the “expectation of the coming of a time when it will not be necessary to ©) make improvements at all. ie There is to be an adjourned hearing at which the sanguine will make another’appeal. Should the stubbornness and the placidity be ry 4 i % a Gre |, Maries.

STRETCHING OLD LAWS. ¥ 4 A N OLD law forbidding any one to enter the parks after 1 o'clock in the morning has been so construed as to make it fs unlawful for a-man to cross the park between that hour and 7) eunrise for any purpose whatever. A like strict construction is to be + given to the ordinance forbidding theatrical performances on Sunday. = Hereafter our only entertainments of tho kind on that day are to be see wacred concerts. 44 This is as it should be. About the best way to get rid of outworn Jaws is to stretch them till they break. The parks belong to the people and Sunday is as much subject to their regulation as any other day. If they wish the recreation of the parks by night as well as by @ay they can provide it, If they wish the freedom of the drama or vaudeville on Sunday as on Monday, they can have that, too.

But he used all speed, and long before he was expected to return he had finfshed his work on the frontier and was back in Washington.
