We have seen this expression called out at the present time by the many admiring tributes to Mrs. Julia Ward Howe upon her birthday. As one such anniversary succeeds another it seems to find her the same dignified, strong, gracious and queenly woman that we have admired and honored these many years. Her mentality seems in no respect impaired, while her Interest in all those things that make for higher culture and social advance and elevation appears undimmed.

The with the purpose of materially increasing Combination of Subway Lines. The proposed combination between the Metropolitan Company of the Brooklyn Kapid Transit Company, with Paul Morton at the head of the allied interests, in some form, which the Eagle announced this week, is the most Important step yet taken for the development of Kapid Transit facilities in. this borough, or for the whole city.

The fact that Mr. Morton is coming here from the Cabinet is pretty good evidence that the company with which he is to be connected expects to get the contracts for the new subways. Those contracts will be awarded for public reasons, to the bidder who makes the best offer for the interests of the city. The Metropolitan Company lias announced that It will offer to build the lines on which it bids without any use of the credit of the city, and that It will offer transfers for a single fare from any of its subway lines to all the lines of its surface system in Manhattan. If the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Is to unite with this combination in bidding for the subways to be built for Brooklyn, It follows that the same system will be adopted here.

The routes laid out at the request of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company include loops through that section of Manhattan below Fourteenth street, In order that the Brooklyn passenger entering a subway station near his home may ride to any part of dowu- its speed. The future development of railroad speed, so far as the traction power Is concerned, lies with the electric 0 Quality motor, which is still, comparatively The woman who or of the Apostles contains no such expression. We could, but shall not, reproduce the creed, but the Transcript can look it up and will find it admirable reading. Dr. Cuyler in nothing dissents from the creed.

He very legitimately refers to Paul's confessed ailment, suggesting it might have been dyspepsia. Paul said it was a thorn in the fiesh. Commentators have thought that referred to auy one of various forms of suffering. Paul was metaphorical or enigmatical on purpose. He had a Boston Intellectuality iutershot with a Brooklyn orthodoxy.

That forms a great combination. The orthodoxy saved the intellectuality from skepticism. The intellectuality saved the orthodoxy from bigotry. Dr Cuyler Is just as logical as if he had lived in Boston. Boston is just as sympathetic as If its pulpit and its journalism had been Cuylerized.

From the Chicago Tribune (Roe Mr. Dalrymple's eyes opened wide in the few hours that he traveled over the north side cable road. He learned speedily two things. One 1b that the cable system is decayed product of a diseased imagination, should have been thrown on the scrap heap long ago, and would have been If tbe franchise had not expired at an Inopportune time. The other thing Mr.

Dalrymple learned was that double deck cars would not do in Chicago. One reason is that cars travel here at a rate of speed that he is totally unaccustomed to. This confirms the opinion of the Tribune expressed some months ago namely: that the double deck car is the cable train nuisance with a perpendicular elevation. It means great delay in stopping and starting, too many passengers in one conveyance, too many stops, and an abundance of lost motion or slow motion. Now there is no room for lost motion in an American traction system.

The people of Glasgow may stand it, but the people of Chicago will not. There are too many people In Chicago to be carried and the distances to be traversed are too great. The cars must move not only as fast as Mr. Dalrymple is accustomed to move them at home, not only as fast as he saw them move on the north side cable line, but much ballasting of tracks, the employment of heavier rails, and the lowering of grades all combine as factors in the reduction of running time between given points. For some lyears the trunk lines connecting New York with Western and Southern Better Late Than Never.

When it became obvious that the Kquit-able plot had thickened so that the very life of the company seemed to be staked upon the outcome, an investigating committee was appointed. In the appointment both factions acquiesced and upon the committee each was represented. Investigation followed, the report of the committee with accompanying recommendations being presented yesterday. It was voted down and out. There was a storm at the meeting at which It was "turned down," one of the results of Its rejection being that several of the Investigators resigned as directors, the chairman of the committee among the number.

His parting, declaration was that he was "disgusted with the whole business." The report is withering. It does not misrepresent the facts developed. It states them plainly. They disclose con-tlftlons which would be amazing were it not that their existence had been more than suspected. The salaries of thirteen officers aggregate $448,500.

Cuyler, has Just been the recipient of loving tributes from many prominent citizens wbo have enjoyed his ministry, and the representatives of a score of other leading pulpits in that "City of Churches." Brooklyn always has a "first citizen," sometimes a layman, but generally a clergyman. It has been Stranahan and then Storrs, and now by common consent It seems to be Dr. Cuyler. To a former generation he sent out messages through the literary channels of the time as well as from his pulpit and his fame was national. It at the present time It has become somewhat localized the concentration makes the honor In which he Is held by those who know him personally even more profound.

In abstract theology he is known as a conservative, and there are proportionally fewer who would care to follow him In realms of speculation than there were when he began his ministry more than sixty years ago, three-quarters of which period he has been associated with the Lafayette Avenue Church. But his gosnel of life was never sunnier, sweeter or more Illumining than now. He finds life still worth living, as he has always found It. It presents new beauties In its western declivity which, perhaps, were not so fully apparent In Its zenith.

Such an offer could only be made by co-operation faster. They must run fast enough to take a cautious Scotchman's breath away on some occasions if tbe people are to be carried promptly to and from their homes to the down-town district. That Is another nut for Mr. Dalrymple and the city authorities to crack between them.

We wish they would crack It before he goes away. Still, we are glad Mr. Dalrymple has come, and we hope he will be treated with all consideration and honor. He is a worthy guest of the city and should and will receive the respectful treatment to which he is entitled, both as a man and as the repre the eighteen hour course to Chicago. Still, let us hope that the new flyers will be Let Us Hope He's Wrong.

Colonel William Cary Sanger, formerly assistant Secretary of War, is prophesying evil. He made a speech at a Red Cross function in Buffalo yesterday, and declared that we are going to have another war. "You can't put your hand on auy parricular spot on the map," he said, or is reported to have said, "and declare that this country will go to war with that nation. But the war will come. It is inevitable.

This nation never experienced fifty years of continuous peace, and the millennium not being at hand just yet. it won't have Btich an experience within the next fifty years." The occasion for this prediction was appropriate enough, because the Red Cross finds in war the only but sufficient warrant for its existence. Undeniably Colonel Sanger's historical premises are correct and unassailable. We never have had fifty years of continuous peace.

From first to last it Is a scathing indictment. The committee was created by the directors as a whole. None of the directors who voted to throw out the report answered the Indictment. None of them interposed anything in the nature of a defense. They ran to cover under a countercharge, alleging that the committee represented interests Inimical to both factions, and seeking to obtain control of the company.

Perhaps the allegation Is founded on fact, but that is neither here nor there. The Indictment stands. The withering report remains unanswered. Countercharge strips it of none of Its significance. Syndicates purchased securities which were sold to the Equitable.

CITY OWNERSHIP EDUCATION. tFrom the Indianapolis News In the management of the gas and water and light plants and the street railway, which Manchester ha undertaken, always experts are chosen. The council does not undertake the active management. It only chooses the active managers. Not the slightest preference Is given to local "talent." The men are chosen Just as rnllroad directors would choose a superintendent or master mechanic, and tiisually they pay mare than private concerns pay for similar services.

Jn English cities get what would be to $20,000 and In one thing we must all agree, that we are a long way from the English system, and that if we ever follow auit we shall have a de: of education to undergo. The whole thing begins at the point where we are willing to draw the line between politics and business. As soon as we begin to cease to make politics out nf things tbat are not properly so, but are business, so soon we shall do an well as the English. We are just as honest and Just as able.

Until very recently the carrying of passengers for any such distances as proposed by this plan for a single fare has been impossible, even unthinkable, but recent developments of electric railroading have brought the project at least within the pale of discussion if not of realization.

The purpose is to revive the style of concerts which Theodore Thomas conducted at Central Park Garden twenty-five years ago. when New York learned to love good orchestral music.

This present organization has the one thing needful to sustain such a series of concerts and to give them a fair chance to win popularity. That thing Is money. Many attempts have been made to establish similar concerts here In the past, but they have all had In mind the one aim of making the concerts profitable In the shortest space of time. It has been proved pretty conclusively that such eon-certs cannot secure a paying patronage quickly. This experiment will be maintained all summer without regard to the receipts, and In that time the lovers of good music may become accustomed to the fact that It can be heard here.

such a system would eclipse the cheapness of the Glasgow fares as regulated by zones, would open up immense suburban tracts to lie built up into small homes for workmen In the heart of the city, and would exceed In cheapness any system which would be possible under municipal operation. The cost of labor to the city Is notoriously higher than to private corporations and the expenses of operation are greater. It would only be by the utmost economies of operation that such an offer as has been indicated could be made, and it is not jertaiu that that where there were profits and losses, directors took the profits and compelled the company to sustain the losses they took no chances. The profits they received came from funds held by them In trust. They do not seem to regard them as nor do they explain that olfactories are out of order.

The log-rolling which is the bane of our politics Is nothing more nor less than the exchange of generosities by public servants at public expense, and a large part of bad law-making is the result of the unjustifiable favors which one unconscionably kind-hearted statesman extends to another.
