The opposes it because it will work, and beoanso it will do what it believos to be injustice while it is working. This is a good, common sense, intelligent view of the case, even if our friend, Alfred J. Wolf, does not think bo. Tho Eagle is vory near in accord with Professor Walker of Massachusetts, who wrote me a while ago that ho hoped the day would never come whon he should ceaso to oppose such a dishonest plan as that advocated by Mr. Georgo.

Tho professor understands the single tax idea thoroughly. It has no mysterious phaso to him. He appreciates tho fact that it can bo put into practice, and work, so far as getting revenue is concerned, just as its advocates affirm. Ho also has no doubt that tho tax will stay put. He would not be against it so bitterly if it could be shifted to tenants.

He is quite sure that it will fall on tho owners of land as owners and not as workers, whether as farmers or business men, and he is against it beoause he does not believe that landowners should pay all the taxes. Porhaps ve may espoot some day from the Eaole or'the professor, an argument in favor of private ownership of land.

stood by the voters of the township. The withdrawal of Cornolius Furgueson from the race for and tho substitution of his dummy, Mr. Bennett, should not cause the reformers and independents to lessen the zeal and enthusiasm with which they entered the fight this spring igainst the ring whioh has so long misruled our township. Furgueson is still the center power, the boss. The ring still controls tho offices and will control, body and soul, the administration of Charles C.

Bennett, should ho be elected. Tho books of the town are still under the machino's supervision. Tho soandals in reforpnoo to the' water supply, gas lighting, street openings and gradings, sewor contracts, cannot be inves. tigatod and exposed while this ring'controls our affairs. The independents and Republicans have united on honest business men on their ticket.

The best element of the town, that element which stands for honesty, intogrity and manhood, is behind tho ticket. This tioket can be elected by hard fighting and fighting all the time from now on to tho time of closing the polls on April 3. One thing should be understood by Mr. Bennott and the ring backing him. No olo nizatlon at Port Hamilton, Bay Bidgo or Bath Beach Junction will go at this election.

The excise commissioners had a long calendar of cases of protested applications for licenses before them yestordny afternoon. Several of them were postponed owing to the absence ot applicants or protostants, orindefor eneo to thojecjueste of partias interested. The first coso to be heard was that of Michael Halla" linn, who wanted a transfer of a llconse from 39 Division avenue to 242 Lorimer street.

Ho offered to surrender a lioense in tho name of George Albin. Tne application was protested by Charles Honnoken of 89 Harrison avenue, who with his three sisters owned the place nt 39 Division avenu, for which Albin had a license. Honneken'a 6tory was to the affeot that tho license was owned by him nnd his sisters, but that Albin, was allowed to hold it in his name for the of a modification of the rental with tha condition that ho was not to sell the license. Ons of Honueken's sistors, who was put on the stand, corroborated his story nnd testified that tho lieanso was sold, despite the agreement, along with tho fixtures and business of tho saloon. The commissioners decided that they had no jurisdiction as to this phase ot tbo case.

Tncy listened, howover, to tho stntoment of Martin Uughes, a letter carrier, who livos two doars from tho whero th proposed saloon into be looatea und who protested against the application on tbo ground that there are enough saloons there already. Undor examination the applicant testified that Hughes had tried to rent the place himself for a saloon, nnd falling, threatened to enter a protest against the licensing of tho place and to use a political pull with tho excise commlsfiionor to prnvent it. 'Uid ho any that with regard to tho old board or this board nskod Commissioner Welles. "This board, sir," answered the witness. "Well, he didn't know what uo was talking about," aaid tho commissioner.

Deoision was reserved. Warren G. Abbott sought a licenso for a saloon nt 70 Nevins street. Thore wn3 a saloon formerly in tho place, which is owned by Abbott, but it was closed up. It had a bad ropu tntion aud was the subject of complaint by Police Captain Campbell of the First precinot and by vnrious citizens.

Mr. Abbott Bnid ho wanted tp got a license again and havo the saloon rua as a. rospectaple place. A man whose name was not given said this would be a dangerous risk. "We will investigate this ease," said Commissioner Welles.

"Thero is one thine sure and that is that if a saloon guts a bad reputation it ends its chances with this board." Thomas H. Bullock, whose lioenso for a saloon at 1.0S1 Myrtlo avenue had expired, attd who wanted it rouawed, achtuved tho distinction of securing a decision from the commissioners in opon meeting. It was not favorable to his prospects for running another establish ment for tba salo el liquor in Brooklyn. Police Captain Martin of the Thirteenth precinct testified that Iiulloek's plnco was disroputablo. Ho swore that he visitsd it on the night of March lt, and went dowustairs into tho basement whore ha found four small rooms screened by curtains.

In ono them wore two men and two woman drinking Deer. In nnother ho found a woman reclining on threo chairs with her head pillowed on tbo breast of amaninasim ilar reoumbemt posture and Her arm around his neck. Tno women, hosaid, were em ployed by the house to tnke part in a variety entertain tnent that was givon upstairs. Detective Sergeant Brady of the Thirteenth preolnct swore that ho had visited Bullock's place several times a week for a year, tho earlier visits being for the purpose of forbidding Sunday concerts under Captain Martin's orders. He had witnessed similar scones to that desaribed by tho captain and hnd warned Bullock several times to do better.

The latter promised that he would, but went along just the same. In answer to quostions by Commissioners Forrastor and Hacker, tho detective said that as a rule the four women employed by the houso wore tho only ones thero. Bullock, wno, earlier In tho afternoon, had 'exhibited eagerness to go on the stnnd, declined absolutely to bo sworn or to answer any questions in the face of the testimony against him. "Wo can doalde this case right here, I think," said Commissioner Welles. "I movo the application bo denied," iaid Commissioner Forrcstar.

"Second it," said Commissioner Hackor. "It is regularly moved and seconded tbat this application be deniod," said Commissioner Welles. "All is. favor will say aye; thoso opposed, no. It is cnrrlad.

This enso is, on the face of is, so perfectly straight and plain that it doesn't need any argunfont, although ordinarily we don't decido thase things in open bonrd. Tbe application is denied." Max Hnllholmer, whoso wife owns tho proporty where Bullock's saloon is located, sought to bavo the license renewed, in ordurthnt ho might havo a respectable suloon conducted there, but ns the licenso was in Bullock's namo the Dourd decided they had no jurisdiction. Frank G. Sackman appeared before tho commissioners to protest ngaiuBt tho granting of an application made by Edward C. Frank for a transfer of his license to Van Brunt street, on the ground that Frank owed him rent for his old place.

Commissioner Welles dosed tbe applicant with ndvlec about paying his debts und announced that this wae a side issue over which the bonrd had no authority. Decision was resorved. Thore was an adverse report from Polica Ciiptaiu Rhodus against thu application of Louis Schrnedt for a traiisror of his licenso to 1)30 Kingsland avenue. The captain said thero wero enough saloons thero now for tho population, and tnat tho avonuo was not built up ut nil for a considerable distance from tbe proposod pla for the saloon. A protest wns also entered by Mr.

Frank Ktockwood, manager of nn oil works near the plane. Ths commissioners reserved their decision. Patrick McCabo wanted a licenso for 349 Kent avonuo, in place of ono which oxpirod without his Knowlodgo, ho said, owing to his inability to read or to write. Ho loft the whole thing to his bartender, and the latter mistook the word March for May on tho licenses nnd went ahead, thinking there was plenty of time for its renewal. The fact was developed in the course of the hearing that the license wus not displayed on the walls of the saloon, as the law requires.

Decision was reserved. Tne representatives of the Otto Huber Brewing company protested ngnlust the renewal of license for 174 Bedlord avenue, asiced for by Leon Geismaa. on the ground that he owed the company flfiO and refused to buy beer of them ns ho had agreed to do. The board decided this matter was out of its jurisdiction and reserved lis decision on the application. No ono appeared to urgo the granting of an application for a licenso to Hiegel man for a saloon nt IJ5H Von Brunt street and Police Captain Driscoll roportod that he bo lievod tho applicant Had given up hopo of getting a licenso.

Tho board then adjourned. CITIZKXS' TICKKT Kl.KCTKI) AT I'ATCHOUIJK. Tho village of Patchogne held its annual election Tuoiday. One hundred and sixty eight votos wero oast for the citizens' tioket, thero beingno opposition. The ticket olectod is as follows: Presid' ut, John M.

In apartments over tho restaurant Uvea John Itussell with his family. Tbo yard in the' rear of this building Ennls and Kussell use in common. Somo time ago Russoll docided to keep a few fowlf in the yard. Ennis disapproved of tho ohickon scheme and threatened to demolish tho coop, which his noighbor ulready had nearly completed. Uusseil bought tho chickens.

Ennis got long whip and, whan Bussell was not at homo, kept the chickens in the air most of tho time. One 'day last week Kussell saw same suspicious looking powder on tho scraps thrown rrom Ennis' tables nnd, foarlng his fowls might be poisened, he kept thorn shut in their coop. Yesterday Kussell decided to exorciso hla fowl. Whilo they wero onjojting the ozone, Kussell smoked his pipe at the window overlooking the yard. Soon there was a great commotion below.

The air was filled with stones and feathers. Squawking fowls flow in ovory direction, and in tho midst of tho scene stood Ennis. Tho long whip wns cracking vigorously. Kussell rushed down otairs and told Ennis to leave those chickens alone. Ennis said ho would do as he pleasod.

and by way of emphasizing his statomont struck Kussell a stinging blow on tho head. Kussell retreated to the slrot. Whon advisod by his friends to go baek to Ennis and demand satisfaction he did so. Ennis sprang into the yard and struck Russell a'ialn. Then they clinched.

"I'll givo you satisfaction," Ennis kept shouting, as the two thrashod and flounced about. "I'll make it hotter for you than I did for your chickens." Kussell finally succeeded in landing a left bander on Ennls' neck and whon ogatu'thay clinched soon had his man down. He was pounding him with a.wlll when Deacon Carman clambered over the fence. "Gentlemen, this is disgraceful," ho said, as he tugged at Russell's collar in nn nffort to rolaase the restaurant keeper. No attention was paid to the deacon and ho started off for nn olllcor.

Iiussell was getting out of breath thumping his neighbor, when Mrs. Ennis appeared on the scone, uroieu with a coal shovel. She gave Russell one blow over tho bead which bent tne littlo Implemout double beforo he realized her presence. When he let go his hold Mrs. Ennis took him by tho throat and dragged him off her husband.

Our heavy plothing was thrown aside and the began to jump overboard to get cooled oft notwithstanding the warning givon that the Vataws were fall of sharks. However, the regiment landed and proceeded to build a camp, tho tents duly pitched, stroots made for each company and our military life began. Some batteries of regular artillery wore there undor General Brannan. After a while the Ninety first Jiw York volunteers also enoainpod on the IsUnd; then the Forty seventa Pennsylvania volunteers. But after a whilo those were withdrawn, leaving the Ninetieth in possession odder the eye of Colonel J.

8. Morgan. Some casss of sickness, caused by changes of living, began to show, bat no real danger until about Jaly 23, 16(52, when tho yellow fever strnofc island and took our first man. After tb.pt the long roll could be heard often in soma poor comrade's oose going to his long hotpo. Many were the lone rolls and often: many Jhe brave and manly young form answering to ic.

So this worriod on from one day to another trntil about one hundred and forty of the rogimet filled untimely graves. The small if it can so be called, 'is divided by wolis and looked about as hands could make It, lies in the front of the United States bacraoks in, the form of a parallelogram, and each grave had a number and a headboard JA' 1802. But time has flc wn, boards have rotted and there remains nothing. to mark the spot where those oomrades are laid to rest. Hence tho demand for a monument.

When the yellow fever was at its height among us there wererfbout eight men fit for duty out of a possible 867. No one to dig graves. No one to do anything after, camp guard was mounted. Colonel Morgan took these eight men with him and took every nogro he oould get in tho city to dig the graves for the dying. Then to think of the burial.

No soil, no clay, but cut out the solid ooral rook in chunks about four and a half feet deep and then comes water. These are the receptacles in which our comrades are buried. Then tho distance from home. No relatives to take a last fond look. No flowers.

No friends, only Uncle Sam's boys in blue, and no one knew whose turn would come next. Men assisting to bury a comrade, or porhaps attending a funeral, would be carried to the grave the day following. This is no idle history. Day after day the terri ble fight went on. There was no backing out of it.

There was no bugle call of retreat, no reinforce, ments, no roliof, but fight and fall, nntil 140 had so fallen, upholding the national flag and the honor of tho United StateB government and the credit of the Empire state that sent them thore to do it. Well was it done and tho honor is as great as though laurels on tho battle, field. The records of the doad, number of the plots, names of the comrades buried, plan of cemetery, are from the pen of tho ever watchful and faithful, capable and persevering chaplain, the Bev. Job G. Bags, who attended al funerals and saw deposited the remains of each and every oomrn'de of the Ninetieth that died on that memorable island of Key Wost.

After leaving tho key we wont to Beaufort, S. 0., only to bo re turned to the key again, from there to New Orleans, to the Leche country, to Port Hudson, to Donaldsonville, only to lose more inen.Thonce to New Orleans and Onelousas railroad, thonCo to Alexandria, to Morganza. This ends our duty in Louisiana. Thence to Virginia to follow Sheridan. To Washington July 13, 1804, to Harper's Perry, to divers places in tho valley.

In August the men that re.en linted got thoir furlough for thirty days and naraded again in front of the' Eagle office. On their return thoy took part in tho battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill andyCedar Creek. After that Early was a thing of the past and the regiment was sent down to Goorgia to reduco some of those savages to oivility. The regiment was accepted by the United States government in November. 1861, mustered out in February, 1808.

having served tho term of four j'ears. two months and eighteen days. Our oomrados of that gallant commander, J. S. Moreran.

lie from Virginia's battlefields to South Carolina, to Georgia, to Florida, to Louisiana. Now the survivors thereof ask the favor of an appropriation to place over their comrades on Key West iBle a monument that will last long after the last member of the Ninetieth regiment will be mustered out.

SINGLE TAX. Why It Is Opposed by the Engle and Otlsors Professor ll'uilsiiis' Views. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaale Those of your readers who may bo interested in tho question of tho similarity botwoon tho Indian land system and the so called single tax land system should read tho following extract from a mamorial recently proson tod to tno congressional committee on territories: "In this oountry tho Indian territory there are white landlords with tribal rights, obtained through marriage, who control from 10,000 to 40,000 acres and number their tenants by the hundred. Tho iriballaws allow their citizens to hold all the land thoy can fence. As a consequence citizens of slight or no Indian blood have fenced tho full bloods off upon the discarded and worthless lands.

The intermarried citizens of the Chickasaw nation control more farming land than is hold by all the full blood Indians of tho five tribes. In tho Cherokee nation ono oitizon of that class is said 1 1 have under fenoe moro land than is controlled uy tho eoMro full blood population of that nation. A great portion of tho oastorn half of tho territory is under wire fenoe for the benefit of Teros cattle syndicates, and tho coal and timber corporations monopolize much of the There does not suem to be much of single tax flivor about theso statements of fact. It would rather appear that somo persons of Indian blood or with Indian connections have beon adopting the time honored British and American plan of getting titlo to all tho land possible, renting it to workers and living in idleness from the proceeds. If the oditor of the North American Review really wishes to find a ca3o of tho failuro of the single tax plan he need not look beyond Now York, Baltimore and some others among our oities.

Tho singlo tax, or tax upon tho annual location valuo of land, is paid by all tenants underground rent leases. In Now York ground rents are fixed about once in twenty years, and any increase in tho value of locations in tho interim inures to the advantage of trio tenant. Undor tho single tax tho ground rent would be fixed, no doubt, annually by tho assessors. Except for tho difference in poriods of revaluation, tho two things arc identical, and so far as generally known thoro do not occur many failures in the collection of tho rent or tax. Where tho failuro comes in is iu tho fact that the Astors, Ithinolandors, trustees of Sailors'Suuy harbor, ot al, collect tho tax and spend it.

This, of course, makes a failure of tho plan from Mr. George's point of view. If thoy would only pay all their ground rents, less 10 pit cent, commirsion, over to tho city treasurer once a yoar, tho single tax might bo said to bo a success, at least so far as part of tho city was oon curned. I would liko to take this opportunity Mr. Editor, to say that I havo little sympathy for thoso people who are opposed to tho singlo tax theory, becauso it may not work well in practice.

Such poople simply do not understand the plan. The Eaole opposes it on the only possible jjround, theground whioh must be occupied by those who Mr. Hinrichs Disposes of Property Under the Hammer.

arrearage S.14.4; sold to James Bryar, 84.000. At the conclusion of tho sales Mr. Hinriohs read tho following statomont concerning tho affairs ol his department, in order, he said, that henceforth there would bo no misunderstanding Thero will bo no sale to day. under the law of 18H3, and all sales advertised under that law are hereby adjourned until 2 o'clock Wednesday, Aprd 11, 181)4. at this place.

I havo now run through the tirst flvu wards of the city cs to sales advertised by my predecessor, undor the law of 18SS, as amended. I shall go no further today, and all sales thus advertised and uoi male to day will also stand adjourned until 2 o'clock Wednesday, April 11, 1804, at this pluce. There havo been uo general sales for six years. For that reason mainly do 1 'tisooutirmo the sales to day after reaching tbo Sixth ward. 'Die adjournment of three weeks, for the same reason, is longer than I pro poso to make adjournments in tno future.

On April 11, 1H04. 1 shall run through a number of other wards iu which there is property in arrears. What wards will not he determined by mo until a fow days before the adjourned day. Parcels in the first live wards upon whioh no bids have been made this day will again bo offered ule on the adjourned day. Soiiio citizens will, of course, find these sales a hardship.

This must necessarily be so. No one can tell what hardships tho many taxpayers have suffered who havo promptly squared their accounts with the city. Mr sympathy is great lor both classes, but it rather inclines toward those who pay promptly. At this lirst sale unoer my administration of the department of arrears, I go no further, however, than I believo absolutely necesnury forcibly to bring before those in urroars the fact that the policy of tho dupartment is changed, aud that their property, if suffered io remain in arrears, may bo soul on any ad journed day. I am surprisoa to tin.

the very general impression prevailing that postponements may had for tii asking. Citizens wait until the very day of the sale to potition tho registrar for an adjournment, and thon thoy do not show enough interest in the threatened sale oven to call in person, fi imotd' these citizens wilt, possibly, bo shocked bv salo of their property. There are very few cases in which an absolute arljourum nt will bo granted. A substantial payment of some portion of the arrears outstanding has boon exacted in almost, every case in which even a temporary adjournment has buen accorded. Tho department, while, I remain registrar, will not sell for tho purpose of aiding litigants or owners or encumbrancers to mako title.

This is no business of the department. I am hero to collect arrears of taxes and for no other purpose, except to manage, the department. Incidentally titles will probably ho effected, and other results of service to some citizens will follow, but such results are no concern of mine and will not ho in teutionaliy brought ubout by me. In my judgment thero would bono arrears problems, such as met Mr. Low and such as may meet us or future administrations, if tho authorities would reel more sympathy for those who pay promptly than for those, rich or poor, who do not.

The citi. zt ns should not forget that salo for taxeo can rarely take placo in le than two years. The department of collections doos not turn thu taxes ovor to the department of arrears until one year aftor confirmation, anil another year usually elapses before the parcels in arrears can be made readv for an effective sale. A two years' statute of limitations, therefore, practically prevail1 ami during that period taxes, except iu extraordinary onsen, oau be paid. Thoro are arrears on tho books, however, amounting to hundreds nf thousands of dollars, covering many yoars.

This doos not soam right to me, nor to most. P0ST LEXTEN DINNER DANCE. ICow Brooklyn IScihls Socioty Will Celebrmo tho Festival. A post Lenten dinner dance will be givom ia tho Gormauia club on Wednesday evening, March Tho committee In cHargo consists ot Albert G. Jennings, Arthur H.

Dr. James Boyd Brady of Newark. N. was induced to undertake what seomed an' impossible task. Since his coming from saven to ten thoaiand people havo become auditors in People's church weekly.

Under his labors a most remarkable revival has boon going on since January 1. Nine hundred and three persons (mostly men) have been forward at the altar and in tho genuine old time Methodist fashion have professed conversion. Dr. Brady has as a rulo preaohed twice every day and oon. ducted the llfo saving meetings afterward, lion's Herald, tho official weekly of Now Eng.

land, says: "Dr. Brady preaches with tremendous energy and tender persuasiveness. A spiritual power rests on the great congregations. This church is a hive of honest, earnest ef. fort for the whole people, and it is well named." The Bev.

Henry P. Winter, the assistant pastor, and Hiss Anna C. Beale, aud also occasionally tho Bey. E. Davios, have rendered valuable assistance.

Many important material improvements have been made and others are in a state of projection and advanoo mont. Dr. Brady believes in making a church oozy, luminous and inviting, and has singular taot in exocuting his belief. People's ohurch is now probably not only the largest, but also the most oomfortable in Methodism. It aertainly has tho largest congregations of any regular ohuroh edifice in the Methodist world.

In the evenings especially, it has already become to visitors to Boston what Talmage's Tabernacle is to Brooklyn or Spnrgeon's Tabernacle was to London. The spocial servioes go steadily on, and it looks now as if at least a round thousand of converts will greet the Easter festival. Dr. Brady does not expect them all to join People's church, as they come from all parts and thither return. But he works just as earnestly aud impartially, inasmuch as ho knows if they are faithful thoy will be like the early disoiples "who wont abroad overywhere preaching the Word." The prayers of all God's poople are requestod upon this the greatest work that ever took place in so short a time in any church in Boston.

The ohurch is looated in the very heart of Boston, corner of Columbus avenue and Berkeley street. It is in the midst of a network of facilities for travel and is easily approachable by groat throngs. The property is worth a quarter of a million and grows more valuable every day. It will seat oomfortably 2,300, but frequently there are many more in tho building. Boston, March 20, 1894.

NO SYMPATHY For Friends Wlio Suffer Xlirousrb Eacnpe of Convicts, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Your readers who take an interest inthe reform movement will, I look with mnoh oom plaoency on the depletion of pocketbooks that follow Justice Sutherland's exit and will not grieve to see the penalty of tampering with fair elections divided by gotting rid of the culprits from the oountry and taking in good money into the treasury from those who offered thorn one of the many loopholes in the law toward evading justice. Your last issue has a list of men who came forward and with bonds for half a million dollars to help men who were not entitled to the sidewalk for one hour aftor thoy wero arrested. Tho old rule that a man is innocent until proved guilty does not and should not apply to persons whose acts are done in open defiance of law. In the cases of those Grnvesend offenders it has taken an army of good citizens to select twelve who did not know before a trial that they were guilty of trying to nullify your vote and mine through a fraudulent election, and for one I am not crying about the resnlt to them or their friends. Ever since tho lovely Portia got the merchant of Venice out of his littlo difficulty with Shylock, men seem to think "something will turn tip" to save them from tho paymont of bonds that permit oifenders to escape justice, but with so many new revelations as the modern oivllization gives, it will be well for us all to let offenders work out their own salvation with i'oar and trembling and take the conseqnencos.

The system of trial by 'jury is on trial itself whenever it comes to a matter of difficulty to oonviotaknowncriminal.be he a millionaire or not. Moro has been accomplished in Brooklyn since November last to givo respect and confidence to law than in any decade before, and our city has been honored throughout our land and in foreign lands for its grand achievement of putting down ring rulo. Whon wo have the power by annexation to New York the good work must be kopt up until the Tammany gang are swept away to the borders where thoy can continue in the company of thoir kindred savages. The real Indians will have a hard time of it, but they are handy with the scalping knife and don't take bonds for future appearance. John S.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaale: At a meeting of the members from New York of tho United Statos honorary commissioners to tho Antwerp international exposition, held at their offices, 14 and 16 Church street, New York city, on Wodnesday, tho 14th it was ro solved again to call the attention of American manufacturers and producers to the fact that tho Antwerp exposition will open promptly on May 5 next. This is assured, as all tho main buildings of the exposition are now completod. Intending oxhibitors (and especially thoso from the state of Now York) aro urgod to mako thoir applications for spaces or concossions immediately, if possible, before April l. at the Now York headquartors.

For our manufacturers and producers, who are now sooking tho markets not only of continental Europe but of Latin America and Australia, exceptional opportunities can bo had at the Antwerp exposition for placing the samples of their goods beforo tho buyers from theso markets, because this is a business exposition. Tho representatives of the honorary United Statos commission will, where such services aro required, have the general supervision reception and care of exhibits during tho term of the exposition. Exhibits should be roady for shipment not liter than April 10. Special low rates for shipments to the exposition direct tno work on streets and sewors to bo marched up to the polls on election day and voted by the dozens for the machine, thus placing at naught the votes of the men who live in the town and who alone are interested in its advancement. Watchers chosen by tho citizens nnd Bopublican committee for thoir knowledge as to who aro legitimate voters and who are not should bo stationed at the polling places to challenge and protest all votes known to he illegal.

A Statement Explanatory of Mr. Gould's Dusiness Affairs. To the Editor or the Brooklyn Eaale: Tho recent reports of forgery, obtaining money under falBe pretenses, running awoy to avoid cieditors and various other scheming methods of swindling made against Mr. William Gould are out and out fabrications, without foundation of fact, and have given Mr. Gould a reputation that ho littlo deserves.

It is the height of injustice and ingratitude, that tho people of that community who should stand up for him as a follow citizen, should be guilty of doing all thoy could to circulate false reports and misinform the press to suoh an extent. Mr. Gould's liabilities do not exceed 85,000. yet they have boon reported to amount to there is no question but that they will be met in nil, if he is allowed sufficient time to realize his own holdings, and collect what is duo him. It was reported aud appeared in print that Dr.

Fanning of Smith town was loser to tho amount of $2,500 on account of Mr. Gould's supposed flight. An investigation of this report has been made, and Dr. Fanning douies having made any such claim, and states positively that as far as he, knows Mr. Gould owes him nothing.

Mr. Gould's son, James N. Gould, and son in law Dr. R. C.

Jones were reported to have expressed fears that he had committed suicide, but this report is also false as both wero awaro of Mb whereabouts in New York and were with him whilo sick, and wero not interviewed by a roporter on the subject and did not expross any such fears to any ono. Tho present financial depression, coupled with Mr. Gould's leniency toward his customers and the stupidity of a prosecuting attorney, aro the sole causes of the difficulty and a thorough investigation has failed to disclose ono dishonest act in tho postmaster's long business career.

Stoni Brook, L. March 21. 1894. FLATBUSH REPUBLICANS. E.Postmatei' Zellinsky Defends them AfiaAnut major Bell's Attacks.

To the Editor or the Brooklyn Eaale: The advice of Major Thomas Bell to the Republicans of Flatbush, which appears in last night's is no doubt well meant, but nevertheless inapplicable to the situation in our town. Gravesend's position and experience aro peculiar to herself. Flatbush has a different problem to solve; we are not in a chaotic state, wo have not to reconstruct, we have no ballot revolution to overthrow. Wo have a live Citizens' league and a fighting Republican organization to proteot us. Why doos Major Bell advise the latter to refrain from naming its candidate for supervisor so long as wo are able to advance pure and true men? Thrico have we given our indorsement to independent Democrats and been as many times defeated.

Thrico wo have been accused of knifiing these candidates. If such is tho case why cannot the Citizens' leaguo and tho independent Democratic organizations give us for onco tho naming of a Republican for tho position? There are at least 000 Republicans in this town and it is shamoful to assumo that among so many thero is not one acceptable to tho four or five hundred independents for the position. It is the realization of the contempt and dishonor cast upon us which has aroused a feeling of indignation and a oonsoquontldetermi nation to name a Republican (though he bo a mamber of tho Citizons' league so long as ho is a Ropublican). not because wo are indifferent to tho soriousness of tho situation. How much longer do our independent friends propose to use us for a dishrag? No, no, major; read the riot act to the minority, not to us.

Your argument is healthy for tho weak Republicans of Gravesend. not for the robust, lighting Republicans of Flatbush. C. L. H.

What a glorious thing it is to know that there is in our midst a man who, when he feels that ho is doing right, to stand by it, and whon he says no it romains. A man who is freo from all party, a man who from out tho promptings of his own hoart acts' accordingly, aud iu his present demonstration has conveyod to all nations tho glorious honor it is on all celebrated diys to let wave the glorious Stars and Stripes. Is there a being among us who could censure such an which seems to me almost sublnno 1 Sous of Erin.
