VERY. 5 rlmiiiinyrK Among; Jill' Kovt'ltiC'K SSlO It Is a rocognl.ed fact that a millinery opening at tho establishment Abraham Straus has characteristics of its own. side tho general cheery atmosphere un.l fooling of good nature often spoken of botori by tbo Eaoue reporter, there is evident disposition on tho part of tho heads to inter st themselves not only in tho needs of old ustomors, who havo learnod to roiy on their taste aud courtesy, but also to make tboso welcome who aro stningwr. A largo display parlor tilled with cases and tnbics of trimmed models would bo slightly bewildering, woro it not for the discriminating tostu which orislby singles out some half dojten or so designs as especially suitable. for certain individuals whoso style of heuuty nnd preferences havo boon taken in at a glance.

It is moro satisfactory to havo a connoisseur suggest something likely to bo becoming than to attempt to select for oneself from a great variety. A still more important feature in the easily recognized one, that while there are, per hapB, larger displays, there aro low, if any, where the models have been more curofully locted, more iu accordauco with the rcilue.d taste of Brooklyn shoppers, who prefer elu ganco and simplicity to extravagance and novelty. There nro always bohio strictly new font uros at an Abraham Straus opening which aro worthy of notice. On of theso is the use of leather both for crowns of hats md trimmings: tliu, a golden brown velvet hat from "lrot Berthe. with soft tan crown and llutod brim, has two largo plumes directly iu the front, ono slightly standing up on the left, the othor droopiDg over right brim, fastened in tbo center with a bow knot of tan leather and steel buckle.

Another round hat with a tau leather crown nud dark 1 luo vlvut brim has a baud of open work leather and steel round crown nn a fancy leather passementerie edge to brim. Tho crushed roses arranged iu front mutch the leather in color, while th is caught up iu back witli velvet loops and aigrettes. A most eh gnnt material is bla velvet, ap pll iued with whito point lace ornaments. This material is for sab and aft lriving the beautiful mode! from Simon Faulkner, in which this velvet is used for the crown, Is glad of the wiso judgment whleh selected, among other choice millinery productions, this ono in particular. The hat in iiiesti Is ouc of the most beautiful seen this fall, the other trimmings bo ing a profusion of black tips on left side and stool oaboohons.

A neat. sign is a round hat of yellow kid with brim draped with point applique lace, which is cascaded in the back nnd caught with crusliod roses of the shade ot kid. In front of crown are oth rosos, while perched ou top of erown iu front aro two Wnlkyric wings. Sets of mud. collarette ami hat or to'pioto match aro among the most stylish fall fnsnions.

All the drossy women go into spasms oi admiration of one of these shown at the present opening. It is from Colomb and consists of a jaunty capote of black satin lace.l with tur iuoisti bin. The fancy brim is waged with a duubio plaiting of black satin ribbon, aught up in the b. with aigrettes and tips aud showing tiny sntiu rosettes' rostiug on the hair. The ooilap is mado of shell plnitings of blacl; s.

Tho Ferris who is great novelty, hut ono of the auntest s.han shown. As worn by a pretty blonde It wn simply bewitching, ma of mousse gi felt, w.tu. edges brim bourn! with bla k.

On left side it slightly caugnt up with plurr.es. one of i. fall's over th" hair in the back, the other pa through a lashed portion and r.sts on i vn of hut. would be hard to lin 1 in any tiou a more charming design.

of this model, wh: a Colomb, are the liusslnn sablo tails which t. im portion of tha rings and are meant to under the hair, i'roni Itoboux is. iLiating on net all black, with m. iv.ive jet nii edge feeing on hair, a jet spik" trimmed in front With Alsatian bow of i.J i velvet and jet. Tho strings to tliis are not o' velvet, but a jet girdle which passes under th chi'i nn fastens again at back of bonnet.

A significant olwvatlon of tho design? shown was made by a tomer. who remarked that vrhll" nearly all ol them showed sc i conspicuously uew feature, ih 'i as the fur strings or leather ornaments, they wore yet neat and elegant; they vrero such as th most refined woman might wear without auy fear of attracting unusual attention: in other word. the models shown at the present fall opening of Abraham v. Straus are stylish without lifting loud or dashing. A quaint and artistic relluo ninit marks tbe whole exhibit, mnkitig it worth while Tor the Brooklyn public of snoppcrs to call and examine.

Veedar was perfectly woll a weok ago lion day, and took Sliss Walsh to a Now York theater. On Roing out ho felt a sharp chill, but thought nothing of It.

Boforo ho reached bis boardin.tr blaoo, near the Mount St. Vincent station on the Hudson liver road, ho felt ill. Next morning ho was so sick that he telegraphed tho custom house that ho could not como down and called a. doctor. Tho doctor told him ho had a hard cold, but before tho wcok was out pneumonia had developed and death followed.

Tbo invitations for tho ved dlng were rucallod with the intention of having tho ceremony performed privately, If Mr. Veedor was strong onough. to uny. ilr. Veodor Was 31 years of ago and had been appointod to the customs service by the first Cleveland administration.

AGRICULTURE AND THE TARIFF. Jtoticytlt Sirarao oE IS ttiitintjtoti nefove flic Wayn zind elciss CumniKlcc. Mr. Josoph Nimmo. of Huntington, L.

appeared beforo the committee on ways and means at Washington yesterday, and as tho duly appointed representative of tho Long Island farming interests, delivered an address on New York agriculture and tho tariff quostion. Following ore a fow brlof extracts from his address: I shall in as fow words as possible, attempt to prove to you that there is no other stato in the union whose agriculture is so much in need of protection as is that oi New York; no other pinto more deserving of protection, or which in its farming interests derived greater benefits from protection. All this becomes clearly apparent upon a hasty glunco at the main mets inthengrieulturnl history of ourstnto. Our war tariff, which was, as wo all know, dovisod with the single object in view of 6nviugthe life of tliis nation, was fairly protective, and tho beneficent provisions of that policy have boen enjoyed iiy New York farmers for thirty two years Under this favorable condition a now generation of farmers has appenrod. Finally, when that last and most important of oil the reductions in our customs revenues was made in tbo bill Republican tarilf reform our New Vork ftirruors camo on hero from 1 hiiikirk, at the west, and Rouse's point, at the north almost to 3Iontauk point, nt the east end of Long Island, and proved to tho then committee of ways and moans that thoy needed and had good reason for asking additional protection on their staple products, and thoy got about what they asked for.

From ono end of our great state to another you can II nd abundant verification ot thu important economic fact that wherever manufactures are located, there tho farmer prospers and tho vnluo of his lands appreciates. At tho samo time tho people employed in manufactures aro benefited by thoir proximity to agricultural production. This happy asso 'intion of manufactures with agriculture has been rapidly developing on Long Island luring tho last, ton years. It is to our protective tariff mainly thnt wo owe this enormous development and "the fact that our internal commerce is now fully thirty time3 as large as our foroign commerce aud larger than the International commerco of theglohe. YVtU you reverse tho conditions under which this wonderful dovolopmont has boen realized Sir, wo live in nn age in which hot competition and narrow margins condition all commercial effort.

When you striku a blow at the carefully nurtured agricultural and manufacturing interests of tho great stato of New York, or enter upon any line of policy which shall disturb those relationships which havo been developed by thirty two years of fair and benoflcinl protection, you will perpetrato a wrong far transcending In magnitude thnt political crime against which the patriot Thiers warned his countrymen fifty years ago. the Mo.

But as to what money really is, littlo has boon said.

Judging from the speech of some, ono would think that nature had decreed silver, and silver only sboul be used as money, from that of others, that gold is tho only substance in the world lit for money. But what is money? Money is a medium of exchange. It is not necessary that the substance used as a medium of exchange should have intrinsic Value. No substanue can bo money unless it has the stamp oi tho government or is sta by authority of the government. Neither gold nor silvor by reason of their substance are money, and people will exchange other commodities for them only as thoy may have use for them, whereas people will always exchange theircommodities for any substance on which thoy the st imp of tho government.

Any substance is money on which tho government places its stamp declaring that it shall bo received for all duos, public nud private, and that it is based on the taxing power of tho government. Government must declare the unit of valuo, which at present is 10 grains of gold 10 lino to tho dollar, and every dollar it issues, whether gold, silver or vapor, must represent and exchange for that valuo in any commodity. There can l' no reason why a gold dollar should contain '2 ti 10 grains of gold 0 10 lino, it will exchange for no greater amount of wealth than a piece of paper on which is tho stamp of tbo government. A gold dollar on which is the stamp of tho zovernmont. tho intrinsic or market value of which is but 00 cents, will pass ourreut and oxchange for tho same amount of wealth as one tho market valuo of which is 100 conta, oven, as tho Bilver I.Irs.

Townsend is a scion of on of Long Island's oldest families, residing in rural elegunce at OL. Head. In 1" he was elect" exei commissioner on tho prohibition tl and re lu. ted In lM.f.1. Mrs.

This tri atm mt was kept up with mora or less regularity for two yours, when In December, her husband hc nmo so violent in hlg attacks that sho ii.

fearful of her life ami was in constant dreud of physical injury. On January this year, her husbaud'ii treatment was so violent that sho was compelled to seek prol ction In a ighbor's house. When sha returnnd on tho following day bo again os aultod her, chasing Ict irom room to room through the house, striking mid pinching hor. on lie took nil her clothe from her room and locked them up, leaving her scaroely enough covr her. On the tanh ho hoat her ami drove on: ol the house, and hut for tho kindness uf neighbors sin would have suffered from exposure.

On the following night her husband earn" home in nn into.lcate condition. Shu hud revir but ho "iit T' her room and ptill' il her out of bed and choked her, threatening to itilllct porman ut injury on hor. II was bo violent that sh" had to call "for help lo escape, from him. She left tilon Head the following morning and cam to Brooklyn, wIito friends nursed her till sho was able to ret urn home. As soon as her husbaud learned that she was in th house, eommoneod beating her.

Ib oldest daughter Interfered in her behalf, whereupon ho attacked tho daughter and knocked the mother senseless. She ngain sought the protection of a neighbor, who kept her ovr night On her return next morning, her husband, in tho presence or the cblldr. n. placed a loaded revolver against her breast and threatened to shoot her, using very offensive language Ho so frightened her that she loft home and W6nt to friends, keeping her whereabouts unknown for fear of being followed. In April, believing thut his promises to were mudo in good faith, she returned to Glen Head and had about three days' perico, when In; came home drunk and so violently assaulted hor that she again sought tho neighbors' protection.

On July 2o she was confined to her bed with nervous prostration, brought on by her husband's treatment. Bather than bringing him to his senses, this clr entered her room, dragged her out of bed and outrageously assaulted her.

All these littlo pleasantries have been interspersed with attentions in the way of throwing knives, dishes, ornaments, discharging firearms at unseasonable hours, making Mrs. Townsead feel that It is unsae to live with her husband.

Atlldavits of physicians, household attond and others have been prepared in support or the petition. Mrs. Towpsend asks for a round sum in alimony and the custody of her children, th younger two of whom aro now living with their father. DAlTi'S MILLINVJtY OPENING.

'The Comedy or Errors" ot tlic Park "Ppan of Life" at the Amphlon "JfcFeo ot Dublin" nt the lirand 0pi ra Hoase "Captain Hernc" at Holmes at the Gaiety.

Tho best pleasure that the thoator affords is that of eceine a ood play well acted. This would soom to bo a ridiculously trite t.t:vteuKni were it not that it is a hard in those days to seo a good play and good aotiun has become less common than it ought to bo since tho stayo was so largoly given up to sons and dance. Tho appearance of A. 31. Talmor's company in Brooklyn is always a welcome one and its appearauoo at the Columbia theater last ovonmg was tho signal for moro siunillcant applause than has been hoard there in some timo.

It is not that the play was the very best, but it was a ploy of minds and hearts and was performed artistically, evenly, beautifully by tho trained and bulnnoed troupe of actorn oniraped in it. "Saints and Sinners," which was tho play, has not been ooted bore before in a number of yours, so that it may bo assumed that it was to many in tho andionco a new thins. It is one of the first of the socioty oomedies that was composed by Honry Arthur Jones, and when it was written ho had not brought his hand to its present state of oipertnesB. The piece has its usual merit of clearness, directness and froo dialoffuo, but it has not tho briskness that it should have, and tho incidents are not now, albeit thoy aro treatod as if thoy were. The story is that of a country girl who is wiled away to London by a good looking scoundrel who has a wif alreaxl and who has no intontion of wedding her.

Sho is followed to town by her father, a country clergyman, and hor sturdy rustic lo ver who rescuo her from tho villian and take her home, where she redeems her name by doeds of charity and is beloved by all who know hor. The treatmont of tho leading incidents is new, yot old: tho expected happens, but it happens in ways different from what i3 expected; and tho suspense that is a needful dramatic element is thorefore maintained. Tho rascal obligingly dies, because it is all that is left for him to do: the good people como into their own again, because dramatic justioo and public opinion desire it, and tho public is quito right: tbo grasping, domineerinir man is hunted off from tho scene by a mob, and serves him quito right, too; and the true lovers aro united, as everybody knows thoy will bo. as soon as the bad ones are safely disposed of. Unpleasant as it is possiblo to make such a plot, Mr.

Jones purses it of no little of its obnoxiousness by its entiro Straichtforwardnoss. It has no glamor snch as the French authors put around their plays, and there is bosido a domesticity that is wholesome and charming. It suggests "Tho Vicar of Wakefield." In the impliod rovorence for home aud the sanctity of parental feelintr. a difference between English and Gallic treatment is disclosed. Tbo French writor would not havo urged moral motives for tho return to roctitude i emotion or eipodioncy would havo sufficed for him.

Mr. Jones discloses tho 'prentice hand in the repeating of situations. His embraces, especially, occur with significance wherever they are introduced, but thoy recur with unerring accuracy in about every scone. Tho spectator leaves tho theater unharmed and refreshed, for there is no bad taste in his month, as there is after "Krou Frou." Tho acting was in all cases artistic and evon tho supes had a littlo moro humanism than they ordinarily oxhibit. Tho old clorgyman was that sterling actor.

J. H. Stoddard, who has always boon his present age, and who has the power of moving his audiences as few players have at any time of life. Economy of power is seen in his acting, yot the penetration of it is as keen as its subtlety is intelligent. II holds back a lino until he Las keyed tho audience to a high oxpeetancy and has prepared it for the effect he is to produce.

That ef ect is what he saves norvons force for. yet ho is an actor who always seems to bo suffused with his part and to be alive wiih its spirit. Wilton LacUayo is tho handsome villain of tho story and he is not unlike a villain, having attained a sug gestion of coarseness that his llguro and his ac tion used not to have. Edward Bell is wholly commendable for the neat though realistic presentation of tho rustio lover a fellow of more sense and balance than tho country lovers we used to see in melodrama. Frederio Itobinson is cast in a part that satirizes tho English mamuion ist: the bnrly, self complacent, prospering man of business, who likes to toll people that he is self made, and who is as moan as the law allows.

I Except in his arbitrary treatment of his good old minister he is rather a portrait than a satire. E. 31. Holland contributes a delicious bit of acting I in the part of this business man's clerk. The neatness and finish of this characterization are only equulod by its searching point, larded as it is with nnctiou.

Mr. Holland's byplay while listening to his master's self adulations, illustrating his seeming compliance with and iunute repugnance to tho man, his propriety of motive aud politic conduct, is exquisite. There are popular star actors of muoh smaller artistic caliber than Mr. Holland, and no actor is more truly one iu the old fashioned 6onBO. The average actor changes his clothes and his wigs when he changes his part, but Mr.

Holland changes his manner, and manner is tho evidence of personality. Success in touching the risiblos has never lured Mr. Hol land into playing at the gallery or in broadening his comedy beyond permissible lines. Charles Y. Butler, for instance, played the part of a church deacon in a farcical manner.

He was amusing, but ho was not real, and ho made it seem as if his part had been foistod in. So with Herbert Millward's town drunkard; it was skillfull but exaggerated. Walden Kamsay offered himself tho repellant part of the outcast, and he too was skillful. A littlo gem was tho playing of a deaf aud gummy old person by Keuben Fox, au English prototype of Gy Prime. It was a study, and it was as truo in every tint and line as a figure by Meissonier.

F. C. Thomson, Alfred Books and C. N. SchuiTer played parts of secondary interest.

Julia Arthur's performance of Letty, the minister's daughter, was technically excellent; her speech is eloar cut, her intonations aro musical and expressive, her actions are prompt, yet graceful and spontaneous, her feeling is gonuina. her character is thoroughly and ably considored. It is to be wished that sho were less iu gloom and that sho should not so constantly wear tho expression of one who has lost all her friends. Emily Seward had a clover bit as the emphatic housokeepor, and Fanny Jackson and Ann Urhart helped to show the pettiness of that gossip which is the bane of eoun ry life and which comes of con taring interest on email, momentary anil local affairs. To morrow night there will be a chance of bill, the coini.auy appearing in Sydney Grundy's "Pair of Spectacles" and Thomas Bailey Aldrich's "Mercedes." After that "Alabama" will be revived.

Next week will bo gtvon to "Tho Sportsman." PARK THEATER. Stuart Hobson revived his old succoss, "A Comedy of Errors." last night. It was this pieco moro than any othor which mode fame for Itob son and Crime when they ticted together and since their separation neither of these comedians has essayed the production of the play until now. 3Ir. Bobson's associate in this presentation is Giles Shine, who divides honors with tho older actor.

Beside learning how to act Shaks peare, 3Ir. Shine in undertaking tho part of the other Dromio, has tho formidable task of learning to move and tulk like Bobson. Though less efficient than Mr. Crane, he has all ho had in view at the outset, and to him as well as to Mr. Bobsou and tlio remainder of his oxcoilent company are duo tho credit for au admirable, performance.

The company is evenly good. Tho seriousness of C. H. Macklin in tho part of Solinus, Duko of adds groteSQUenoss to the humor that surrounds liitn. Another actor in the combination who tlm atons to rob 3Ir.Mack!in of his dukely laurels is a piokaninny page, whoso duty it is to bear a mossage across tho stage to tho wrong Antipholus.

Tho littlo fellow waa scared last night and at one time threatened to jump into tho audience, but after some gulping and wavering, he sidled off, and could not bo induced to come forth again, though he got tho most vigorous applause of tho cvonins. Mrs. Bobson took the port of Adrians, and acted it with ability, as Grace Frauklyn Lynch played tho Luciana. Tho JJgoon of William Yerance and the Angolo of J. L.

Wooderson wore good pieces of acting, especially tho latter. Goorgo E. Hallton as Dr. Pinch, would do well to keep his voice down. Aside from Blousabella, tho cook, whoso stage namo is recorded as Mrs.

A. Euchredecq.ue, the mombeTs of the oompany not specially mentioned aro John 3. FarrolL H. Elwood, Josoph with a fire that brought the gaJlorr to torms. W.

R. iurlong, us Dnnstan Le eii. tho excruciatingly wicked villain, envned hisses of the samo orifcics. Harry Uicli Xutty Brown and 3riss Tilton as Slirov Tuesday were the comic lovers and. as the hero and heroine rocoived sj mpatby and the vlliaiu execration, so wore thoy successful in achieving laughter.

31hs Avoi ne. as an unscrupulous ami si mother, showed sonic subtlety of art. The part uf a sickly boy who was poisoned by his wicked brother was taken by Miss Hartford with the proper amount ot fet linx. W. 1'.

Sheldon, S. Evorhard, John Adams. C. D. Ackley and Muster Willie took tho minor parts.

Next week The Whito Squadron will set sail from here. GUAM) OPERA. HOUSE. John T. Kelly, the Irish comodir.n, has brought his musical of Dublin." to Brooklyn again and rosonted it to a lare audience hist night.

Xo important changes have been made in tho piece, but only those which serve to bring its dialogue up to date. Tho company Is a competent ono. Mr. Kelly, iu the part of the bonus Irish lord, has a hearty humor, which is the life of tho play. He is ably assisted by Harry Kelly and Goorgie Bufker.

Several now soiurs were snng nt last night's performance, and Adelaide Ban lall's voice was much enjoyed in nolos. "Mul'hoo of Dublin" is excellently staged aud the costumes are in all respects satisfactory. Next week Heleuo Mora will appear at this theator in her now play "Comrades." STAR THEATER. Captain Homo, U. S.

tho hero of a war drama of tbe kind that has becomo so popular within the past few years, mado at this theater last night his first appearance iu Brooklyn. The play is meant to show how families, particularly in the South, were divided against themselves during tho civil war. Captiiin Howard Heme (J. Jay Dowling) is an ollicerin the United States army when Louisiana secedes from the Union. Tho ordinance of secession is passed before tho captain, an influential inombor of an old and wealthy family, can reach Baton Ilougo to raise his voice against it, Jeoifray Goldchester (Harry Thompson), tho captuhiY half brother and a rebel, is in love with the former's wife May (3Iina Gleason), and during five acts Jeoff ray, assisted by Inez do Niruey.

an octoroon slavo Olaud Cleveland), much in lovo with Captain Hernc. and Fhilip Dubarr (Will L. Hays), an overseer, devotes himself to keeping husband nnd wife apart. In this, of conrso, the sehomors aro only temporarily successful, and the curtain falls at tho close of the war ou husband and wifo reunited and everyone else happy. Inez has been shot by Jeoffray, who is himself found doa 1 after his treachery to tho Southern cause bo came known.

Tho company which presouted "Captain Ilerno" last night Was without exception good. Tho playors comprised, in addition to those named abovo. Will L. Gleason as Thomas Jefferson Randolph, a Southern planter; 3tyraDr.vis as Naunotto Randolph, bis daughter; C. If.

Nolan as Lawrence Fitch, a composer; Lizzie 3Iorgau as 3Irs. Heme, the captain's mother, and A lelo St. Alya as Fudge, 3Iay's negro maid. Xamie tte and Fudge danced and sang acceptably. So did Larry, tho composer.

The singing of the Captain Hernu ciuartet was pleasing. Tho pieco was well staged, tho scenery being better than tho average. It was said that tho cast would compriso 300 people. Thirty wonld be a liberal estimate of tho number engaged, includ ing the soldiers of both urmies. Next week "A Flag of Truce" will bo produced.

GAA'KTf THEATKIU The innovation of providing farco comedy instead of tho usual vaudeville was tried here yes terday for the first time. What is termed on tho house prograinrno as a musical oomedy, and en titled "Comrades." was the vehicle for this experiment and it was rathr nn unfortunate one. Tho authors, William J. Berry and Edward Cor bett, started at haphazard, with no definite idea in view, thoir effort possessing loss coherency than is usual, oven in this class of performances. Many of tho words and scones are inane or moldy, and 3Ir.

Hyde, who is a shrewd manager, will sea the necessity of revision, in order to put tho entertainment into presentable shapo. The actors in the company, fortunately, are capable and evon undor distressing circumstances, inanagod to put life into tho piece. Helena 3Iora. who has been received in vaudeville, is the star. If she has tulent as a comodian, no opportunity was givou to display it Her deep alto singing, however, was charactorizod by the samo purity of voice, truo expression and intonation that has mado her a favorite and it is to be regretted that tho surroundings did not allow her venture as a star to be more auspicious.

Ilonri Lynn, a tall and attenuated man. created a favorable impression by clever low coinody work. John Bay ruado a good doal out of a negro character, his eccentric walk nnd lugubrious tone of voice, which has tho volume and penetrating power of a steam whistle, creating laughter. The Quaker City quartet sang pleasingly, as did 3Iabel Narbis, who has a sweet high soprano voice. A young woman called Annabello gave three dances of the serpentine order with lime light effects.

Othor performers aro James and Lucy Allison, dancers; George A. Booker, Emma Bay, Dorothy l'arkhurst. Bello Barclay and Alicia Ernst. HYDE ASD BEIIXAVS THEATER. Songs from the London concert halls aro as popular tliis season as tho carols of 3Iaggio Cline and descriptive solos of Heleuo Mora woro lust year.

The tempestuous Margaret has become a star of uncertain magnitude, whilo tho 3Iora has followed suit. Yesterday, in tho May Howard show, Josie Subei. who sings iu French and English, made a hit with old and now songs, among which "Daisy Bell" from London created a lively impression. Tho rest of the company is good, as burlesques go. A curtain raiser, entitled "Butch Crook," shows off tin; company in the true sense of the word, and is full of catchy songs.

Ed' vard Latell of California introduces new features in bis musical act, Yodo 3tnnslield and Kitty Clark have adanco called "Par Qua." tho Keogans offer a well known sketch with embellishments, Hanlcy and Jarvis dance and sing Daniel Waldron makes a hit in monologues. Pictures, illustrating war songs, aro sandwiched between tho sketches. A burlesque on the "County Fair" concludes the performance. Next week. Keilly and Wood's company.

SUGGESTIONS AS TO "CMOS ASD CANDIDATES. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Baole: I don't know as I could contribute any suggestion of value, but. touehlns tho ponding determination as to the candidate for mayor, lam impelled by a deep interest in the question, with the Eagle's room and consent, to offer a word or two. And first I will say, I seo what is most natural, both sides i. the Itepublicans and independents, each claim to furnish tho candidate, and I know that either side may advance a fair argument in its favor.

Tho Republicans, becanso they aro to furnish the largest share of votes, and tho independents iu that Brooklyn is a Democratic city and inasmnch as they draw away from the regular organization and attack it in open hostility, it is only fair that tho Hc publicaus joiu them in tho fight for an assured reform and pure administration. Jloroover, tho independents of both parties believo that such can best be attained by breaking entirely away from partv lines. Now, if, for tho time, the Ite publicans could be induced to ignoro party and oomo to some agreomeut with the independents, it would then only remain to seok out the very best man and, be he Republican or Domocrat, I think his election would bo sure. Lot me further say. I trust, in this crucial omorgency of onr fair city, no word of warning is needed against repoatintr tho folly of 1885, that of running three candidates.

I cannot forboar to say. further, one word to tnoso wno can naraiy abate tho question and pursuit of patronage: That while no bargaining could attend the non partisan conference proposed and hoped for, yet is easy to believe that whiohover side furnished tho successful candidate, the eleoted mayor wonld feel bound to. make a fairly equal division in his appointments.
