Very manifestly for him ho is not keeping up the reform reputation of the Senator. His behavior in the premises is to bo the subject of a formal inquiry by the Legislature. Thus there will be two Fassett investigations going on at the same time. The Massachusetts Fassett, if all charged against him be true, was unskillful or mistaken in his methods. He should have hod a godfather.

A Kaleidoscopic BUI, While our local Republican organizations are more or less enthusiastically indorsing the McKinley bill, that protean measure is undergoing from day to day a fresh series of transformations, so that the bill whioh one group of the faithful approved of yesterday is a very different thing from the bill which, another group of the faithful may indorse to doy. But this doesn't make any difference to the faithful. They hove their eyes fastened on the label of the bottle, and so long as that is unchanged they ore willing to take the contents on faith. Their motto is Be sure of your label and then go ahead. Nevertheless some of the transformations are important enough to disturb even the dullest sense of consistency and to betray a great confusion of ideas among the brethren as to the extent to which "protection" ought to be curried.

Two ohanges whioh the senate committee has made in the house bill may be cited ns examples. The house raised the duty on lumber from 2 per thousand feet to a fraction over $3. The senate fixes tho rato at $1, The house puts works of art on the free list. The senate restoros the duty. If our loaal Republican olubs were to be asked which of these deolsiona they intended to indorse by approving of "the McKinley bill" they would regard the question as the malicious inspiration of some "free trader" or emissary of the Oobden club and probably refuse to answer it.

They intended to indorse the McKinley bill and that sufficiently defines thWr position, Even the esteemed Tribune has been obliged by stress of oiroumstanoes to abate its animated orltioism of truBts. In view of the consideration whioh some of these "trade conspiracies" reoeive from the bill, it would be exceedingly injudicious for our leading American newspaper to support the measure and at the samo time attack the trusts. But it desorvos to bo said that the friends of the bill in both houses are doing their best to make the road as onsy as possible. It is a tough job and the work proceeds under extraordinary disadvan. tages.

Thoro is no assurance that it can be completed at this session, The prospeot isthat tho discussion in tho senate will be a protracted one. Several gentlemen are preparing to do liver their opinions at length, Tho gag law enforced in tho house will not be invoked to interfere with their ambition. Whether a harmonious result is reached or not the "educational campaign" wll go on, There seems to be a unanimous opinion in tho press to the effect that Anourin Jones, tho superintendent of Prospeot Park, is a good man for President Brower, of tho Park commission, peremptorily to call to order. There is nothing in the report issued by tho Washington Critie newspaper on Wednesday night, to the offeot that President Harrison had doolared that he will not be ft oandU date for renomination. Ho has not declared that ho will and he has not declared that he will not bo.

He has not declared anything about it. Papers cannot be expeoted to agree upon opinions, but thoy should have no difficulty in showing a common hostility to bald headed inventions. asked to do so. There is no need for a change of chairman unless there is to be a ohango of policy. Senator Brice is the man under whom the Democrats can continue to deservo victory without achieving it, while under A.

P. Gorman the party can achieve victory without trying too hard to deserve it. Automatic Action in tho mouse. Speaker Reed had a surprise prepared for the friends of froe ooinage yesterday. His apprehension that the senate bill might be hurrahed through the house tempted him to make another exhibition of his originality.

Having burst the bonds of tradition at tho beginning of tho session by setting up his own body of parliamentary rules, he felt no embarrassment in introducing an additional novelty. When the bill over from the senate and tho messenger read tho title tho silver enthusiasts gave a round of applause and seemed to take it for granted that the game was all in their own hands. During the morning, however, the speaker and his retinue of "gold bugs" had been Jmsily engaged devising the means of preventing a direct vote on the motion to concur in tho senate amendments. When Mr. Bland, resolving to strike whilo the iron was hot, moved that the committee of the whole, which had under consideration the Indian appropriation bill, should rise in order that the silver bill might receive immediate consideration, there was a rally of the members opposed to it and the motion failed by a vote of 94 to 105.

It is understood that at the consultation referred to the speaker brought forward his plan of "heading off the lunatics." It consisted of the assumption that "under the automatic action of tho rules of tho house the bill would go without any formal reference to tho committee on coinage, weights and measures. The assumption seems to have been indorsed on the broad, but not universally recognized principle that the end justifies the means. It was deemed of vital importance that tho measure should not bo submitted until after the emotions produced by the radical proceedings of tho sonato should have had at least twenty four hour3 in which to subside. Speaker Reed is a close student of human nature and he knows how foolishly men can behave under the influenco of excitement. His theory of protecting representatives from the consequences of their own rashness by introducing automatic action to removo temporarily the cause of disturbance is a striking proof of his genius for leadership.

When the gentlemen who were the object of these good intentions learn what steps wero taken to save them from themselves, it is barely pos sible that they will indignantly resent the speaker's benevolence. They havo missed the chance to carry the measure by storm. It is cooling off in the committee on coinage, weights and measures, and it will remain there until Mr. Reed thinks that the temperature of its advocates is low enough to permit of its discussion. What tho ultimate fate of it will be nobody seems to know.

The friends of the administration don't want the President to be confronted with the responsibility of vetoing a froe coinago bill. They don't want the party to antagonize the sentiment at the West and Southwest in favor of knocking out tho gold standard and substituting that of silver. They are in a quandary, with no moans of escape save that which a compromise between the houses may present. It is stated that tho committee will in all probability report back the house caucus bill, with the bullion redemption clause omitted, and that in this shape the subject will again be submitted to the judgment of the senate. Perhaps tho interval of reflection will enable tho latter to take a more conservative view of it.

i.i iitiii.i win.wFh they Borvo. If Colonel Shepard is incapable of understanding this his vaporing only makes him moro conspicuously an object of oomnii eration to those who can. Interpreted in the light of these reflections the pecuniary offering of the Maryland Guardsmen and their promise that when the time shall come to dedicate the monument to General Grant "they will not be found lag. gard in gathering to render homage to him at its base" ore a genuine and welcome evidence of how completely the bitterness of the long post struggle has subsided and how earnestly the men who onco stood in armed array against the Union are now committed to its defense and maintenance. We at the North should be lacking both in wisdom and magnanimity if we refused to acoept tho pledge in the spirit in which it is offered.

The fraternal overtures of the gallaut men who exposed their lives in behalf of a mistaken cause are neither half hearted nor insincere. They at least should escape the aspersion of harboring sentiments that are at war with what they profess. When the veterans who wore the gray volunteer to honor tho ashes of the sleeping hero who wore tho blue the country could ask for no more inspiring proof of real consecration, no more convincing evidence that the dead past is indeed dead and that with it are forever buried the provocations and enmities from which the bloody drama sprung. Tiio Ionfr Island Fairs, Queens county is enjoying its annual fair, which was oponed yesterday at Miueola, and from all accounts a very attractive and successful fair it is. No one but a farmer can fully appreciate the importance of these recurring events in their relation to tho soolal life and material prosperity of our island neighbors.

They are the chief festivals of the year, when the country swain makes the effort of his life to give his sweetheart a treat, and they are connecting links botweon the manufacturers in the cities and the agricultur risls, who retaliate by displaying their ohoic est roses, their biggest pumpkins, their fattest hogs, their fastest horses and everything, in short, which they prize as products of thoir own. Once a year Mr. Austin Oorbin and other eminent farmers, mainly of tho sort who do their farming while writing powerful editorials in the newspaper offioes, make an excursion to the scone of rojoining and deliver brilliant orations on the relation of agriculture to manufacture and similar absorbing topics. Horace Greolsy used to Bay that the best way to raise turnips is to tako hold of tho tops and pull, and it is advice of this eminently practical character that Mr. Corbin and the editorial philosophers are in the habit of distributing at tho county fairs.

That the visits are appreciated, however, is shown by tho high opinion which the editors entertain of the agricultural societies, which sustain aut tho same relation to Long Island aud its affairs that tho society of Old Brooklynites does to Brooklyn. All these organizations are composed of good, conservative citizens who are imbuod with the neighborhood spirit and who never get under the table beforo 10 o'clock at the latest. That some little rivalry should exist as to whether Queens or Suffolk can produce the better turnips is only natural, and it is this feeling of competition which has imparted to tho fairs a dogree of interest and curiosity which they would not othorwiso possess. Here, for example, is the town of Huntington, which, for years, was known to fame only as tho scene of the Kelsoy murder and of numerous ministerial rows, but the sphere of its ambition having widened, it now boasts an agricultural society which does more than any other faotor in its civilization to boom the price of lots, soli tho produce of its farmers and keep on eyo on freight rates. Brooklyn'has the best of reason to join in spirit with her rural friends in their festivities.

To them her citizens are indobted for the tender care token of the summer boarder who wanders among their scenes of peace and loveliness, and if, perchance, Long Island be not appreciated as a plaoe of reBt and reoroa tion during tho vacation periods there is at least the satisfaction of knowing that her pumpkins and watermelons are the biggest and best which find their way to the local inarkots. In any event, whether he really be reckoned at his full value or not, it can do no harm to inform Agrioola once a year that, everything considered, he is the mainstay of our institutions the grand conservative force which restrains the vicious elements in the cities, and makes the eagle scream with delight whenever his name is mentioned. It may be there aro those who have reason to beliovo that the formor's lot, as a matter of cold fact, is not a hapuy one but this is not the timo to recall unpleasant experiences. Rather should we dwell with pleasure on his calm ond beautiful surroundings at this vernal season, and the joy beyond compare which movoB his soul when Do frost is on de pum'kin and de fodder's in de shock. To the Queens county society the Eaowi certainly extends its very best wishes, and this ought to count for moro than a grave dissertation on tho ethics of agriculture, particularly as no man can be a farmer who has not obtained his experience by tho hardest kind of hard work on the one hand or a heavy outlay of cash on tho other.

And when Farmer Corbin returns from Europe and tolls his rural constituents of the wonderful things which he has seen accomplished by tho husbandmen of England and France and Germany, coupled with more or less suggestion of the Horace Greeley description, we hope that tho fullest credence will be attached to his remarks. An Amusing Blunder. Political leaders in tho West must be highly amused by the comments of some of tho party organs in tho East on the political situation in the State of Illinois. Several contemporaries, including one or two on Manhattan Island, have been considering gravely the prospects of General John M. Palmer.

Now General Palmer is a fine, vigorous old Democratic statesman. Ho is a credit to the party of tho people. His advancement in public life will bo hoped for by all believers in Democratic doctrines. His popularity, however, furnishes no sufficient excuse for the astonishing stupidity of some of his advocates. They persist in saying that General Palmer is, as the Democratic candidate, running for tho Governorship of Illinois.

He is doing nothing of the kind. No Governor will be elected in Illinois this year. None will be chosen until 1892. Under the constitution the Executive of the State serves four years. Two years ago General Palmer made a gallant but unsuccessful struggle for the honor.

Hi3 victorious competitor, Private Fifer, is now installed in tho gubernatorial residence at Springfield. There he will remain until a successor is inaugurated in 1893. What General Palmer is running for is the United States Senatorship. For that office he was unanimously and enthusiastically indorsed by tho recent Democratic State Convention. If, as seems probable, the Democrats secure the Legislature, he will be chosen to succeed Senator Charles B.

Farwell. His canvass of the State promises to be very entertaining. He is a better campaigner than the Illinois Republicans have been able to produce since John A. Logan died. Every progressive Democrat in the country will wish him good fortune.

Meanwhile, the amateurs and organ grinders will probably keep on advocating him for Governor until the "silly season" expires. Bribery In Boston.

Tho burn warming, under tho auspices of old Farmer Folkert llap elyoa, which occurred somo eighty years ago, has already been described in the columns of tho Eaole, and in brilliant contrast to tho country shindig which then created such a stir for miles around was tho closing reception given by Mrs.

Vandervoer last evening. The number of invitations oxtondod was limited to the capacity of tho barn, and with threo or four exceptions ail tho invited guests, wero present at tho reception. Tho invitations were gotten up in quaint, antique stylo, stating that a danco was to bo hold in tho Vanderveor barn, alongside the Nostrand pike, and that guests wore requested to appear in fancy dresB. Tho old barn iB soon to bo torn down to mako room for a row of modern brown stouo fronts, and henco tho festivities last evening. Tho barn is looatod somo distance in the roar of Mrs.

Susan Vandorvoer'B residence, at tho corner of Myrtlo and Nostrand avenues. It is a quaint, old, ono story structure, oroctod in 1810, and is well known as ono of tho oldest landmarks in Brooklyn. ItB timbers are still firm and strong, aud wero it not for tlio relentloss march of progress it would faithfully resist tlio elemonts and protect tho contents of its granaries and mows for still another century ore it would totter on its foundations. Tho obsequies wore far from being solemn. Tho winding pathway leading from the houso to the barn was ovorhung with bright colored lanterns and the front of the old building was bathod in a flood of electric light.

The big barn doors wero wido open and tennis nets were draped in the form of an arch over the entrance Thickly entwinod in tho notting woro roses, daisies aud overgroens. making a floral arch at onco beautiful and fragrant.

Where Farmer Itapeiyca once kept iiis feu 1 bin a quaint littlo Summer houso had beon erectod, with walls and roof of natural branches and vines. The central figure within was a lemonade well, constructed of natural bowlders, overrun with trailing vinos and ferns.

Gravel paths woro cut through a miniature lawn, on which a baby Alligator played hide and seek with a canvas back duck. On the left of the entrance was a platform for the accommodation of guests who wero non participants iu tho danco, the orchestra occupying a similar platform on tlio right.

Three farewell cheers rang out upon tho still night air as tho morry makers took a last fond look, and if tho old barn didn't feel proud of tho funereal seud off it was only because it wasn't human. TnE BUYS' CENTRAL SCHOOL. Itr. John riiii'M for Dc.niriiir Ha Separation. At the last meetbig of the Board of Education Dr.

John Griffin, a member of tho Central School Committee, introduced a resolution of importance for tho proposed division of the boys' and girls'' departments of tho Central School, making of each a distinct school, under a sopa rato principal and a separate school committee. This resolution will come up for discussion at the July mooting of tho Board. Dr. Griffin spoko rc coutly regarding his plan as follows: "Tho Contral Sohool has beon in existence ten years. It was organized with Dr.

Loighton as prinoipal, and it had a speoial oourso of study arranged for it. This was modified four years ago, but has remained practically the samo as thon arranged. A year later tho building for tho girls was orootod several miles away from that occupied by tho boys. Principal Calvin Patterson is still in charge of tho two dopartmonts. It is impossible for him to give the necessary attention to the young men, and tho hoad of thoir school, a capable and efficiout man, is hampered becauso of his dependence Tho local committoo gives all of its attention to tho girls' school, to tho neg loot of the boys' school.

For two years tho committee has had money at its disposal for tho oroc tlon of a building for tho boys' school, but tho plans for the building are not complotod yet. Those who oppose separating tho schools say they ought to remain united until tho building for tho boya' school is completed, if not longer, but tho friends of tho boys' Bchool think that tho soouer tho separation is effected tho better it will be. If the committee of tho Contral School is relieved from the supervision of the boya' school aud a new committoo appointed to tako solo chargo of tho boys' school its interests will bo sorved much bettor than at presont. Thoro aro no only about four hundrod and fifty pupils in the boys' school ond thore ought to bo a thousand. If tho boys' department recoivod the attention it deserves it would recoivo that number in a Bhort timo.

It remains with the Board to decido what shall bo done." STUKOES HUCKLKY.

Sinco the meeting which was held several weeks ago in Dr. Meredith's church for tho purposo of discussing tho location of tho new Bedford branch of tho Young Jlon's Christian association the board of management, of which Almizo Alford is chairman, has been looking about for a site whioh will bo favorable for the purposes of the branch. They wero not long in deciding upon a suitable location and consider that their selection will prove a prize of the first wator. The four Btory brown Btono at 420 Gates avonue, botween Slaroy and Nostrand, was this wook purchased from Paul C.

Grening by tho association and will bo tho future home of the Bedford branch. Mr. Grening has occupied this building for fourteen years with his real estate headquarters and residence. It is ono of the most substantia on struoted buil dings in the city aud had it boon built especially for tho young mon it could scarcely have proven hotter adapted to tho uses now required of it. Tho location, too, is superb and affords an opening for effective work among a largo nnmbor of young peoplowho could hardly bo acoommodated beforo.

Tho lot has a frontage of 80 feet on Gatoa avo nuo and is 100 feet deep. Tho main floor of tho building extends almost tho entire length of the lot. 00x20 feet, whilo the second floor breaks off at a length of 80 feet. Tho third and fourth floors aro 20x50. A mansard roof oovors the structure and a flagstaff rises skyward at tho front.

Three largo bay windows overlook the lawn on the west sido of the building, which is broad and long and beautiful. Tho new plans will somewhat mar the beauty of this outlook, but the additional usefulness sooured by tho branch will more than make up for the looks. A gymnasium 45x00 foot will bo eroded in tho rear of this plot, leaving a space 55x50 for len uiB and outdoor games. Ground will bo brokon immediately for this building, and they expect to have it ready for use by September 1, tho opening of tho association yoar. The gymnasium will be fully equipped with all modern appnrtenancos and will contain a running track with thirty five laps to tho mile.

Thoro will be bowling alleys, noodle, shower and tub baths, and 400 lockers will bo put in to start with. Members of tho gymnasium will havo tho use of the Eastern district athletio grounds on the samo conditions as those of tho main association. The main library will alBO bo opon to members of tho Bod ford branch. The new association will tako possession of its new building on August 15. Very fow changes will bo made in tho interior, and, in a great measure, tho present furnishings will bo retained.

Mr. Grening has romovod his family to Saratoga. Tho premisos havo boen sooured on vory favorable terms, and as tho now branch will opon with a membership of 400 its future is vory promising. The ground floor will be occupied by offices and tho reading and reception rooms. Tho main parlor is on the second floor, and it will be utilized for social and class meetings and the like.

Tho rooms on the floor above will bo devoted to educational work, of which thoro will bo an abundance. Beginning with tho fall term, thoro will bo evening classes in French, Spanish, bookkeeping, penmanship, typewriting, phonography, mechanical and architectural drawing and vocal and instrumental music. Two important features of tho new organization will bo the boarding house rogistor aud the employment bureau. Thero will also bo special rooms for chess, draughts and liko parlor games.

the Founder's Day Iu Garden City Addresses, Orations and Drill Review of the Work of tho Past Five Years. This is tho eventful day of all tho year in Garden City. Large numbers of tho friends and parents of the cadets have arrived on every train, aud tho uninterrupted succession of exercises has passed off with groat success, inspirod by the enthusiasm which a largo and interested company always imparts. The day began with military cxeroifios, undor tho direction of tho professor of military scionoo and tactics, Lieutenant Millard F. Waltz, Twelfth United States infantry.

Tho movements of battalion and skirmish drill and tho manual of arms wero well executed by the entire body of cadets. At tho entire school, in full military dress, preceded by the school band and accompanied by tho faculty in the regulation academic cap aud gown, marched to tho cathedral for the commemoration servieo of Founder's day. Tho address was delivered by the Itov. Keeso F. Alsop, I).

rector of St. Ann's Church, of this city. After this service thero were further military exercises at tho school, tho artillery giving an exhibition drill and acquitting themselves with great credit. At 3 o'clock the boys and their visitors assembled for tho commencement exercises in tlio largo school room, tastefully decorated with ll.igs and bunting and flowers. After a processional hymn, the invocation and collects and music by tho school orchestra, Cadet Emott Davis Bnel, of New York, read an essay on "The Race Problem." This was followed by a declamation by Cadet Albert Hewlett Soabury, of Hempstead, L.

I. Next on tho programmo was an e.ss by Cadet Harry Howard Dorman, of New York city, on "The Formation of the Constitution," iu which, after tracing the history of his subject, lie said: Tho constitution is the exponent of the Nineteenth Century. It would not have been possible in any other age. Its birth is contemporaneous witli those modern giants whioh have bo revolutionized our daily lite; in fact the same men are identified with both, for are we not indebted to FiwnUlin for his investigations iu electricity as well as for his zeal for the great document? Is it then remarkable that being constructed by such men at tho commencement of this moat wonderful era of mechanics it should be eminently adapted to the scientific developments of tho period? Tho thousands of miles of railroad, which cover like? a notwork this broad land, aro a monument to its progressive spirit. They havo boon inspirod by tho liberal policy of the constitution; the intcrocoanic liues have received inrgo grants of land that the promoters of tho enterprise might havo a quicker return from thoir enormous investments These roads have doubly repaid the government for its liberality.

After another selection bythoscliool orchestra Cadet Richard Jasper Buchholz, of Hempstead, recited in German an extract from Scbillor's "Dio Jnngfrau von Orleans." Tho noxt essay was an interesting and well written historical skotch by Cadet Charles McLaughlin, of Portland, on "Tho Civilization of tho Aztes," tho introduction to whicii was as follows: It is doubtful if any people over exhibited so high a degree of civilization, combined with such ahject and horrible barbarism, ns tho Aztecs. While in somo rospocts theso remarkabio peoplo wero almost as highly civilized as the ancient Egyptians, on tho other hand they exhibited a degree of barbarity that could hardly bo found in tho lowest savago of Africa. This contrast between civilization and barbarism, between refinement and brutality, is bo incongruous that it the history of tho Aztecs of groat interest. The first inhabitants of what wo now know as Mexico are believed to have been tho Toltecs. Whence they came is uncertain, but from what can ho gleaned from legends it is supposed that they camo from tho north.

Their arrival was probably in 048 A. D. They remained iu tho land several centuries, during which time thoy constructed many oxtonsivo aud beautiful buildings, from which foot the name Toltec has becomo a synonym for architect. At the end of about four hundrod yoars they disappeared silently and completely from the land, probably going to Central America. After tho lanso of another hundred years a numerous and savago tribe, called tho Chicamecs, entered tho deserted country from the far northwest.

They wore followed Bhortly aftorby more highly civilized ribes, among which tho Aztecs or Mexicans, as they ai now called, and the Sezcucans wero tho most important. Growing in strength, more from their superior refinement than from increase of numbers, tho Aztecs, although at first nearly annihilated by their more powerful neighbors, soon became the most important and powerful tribe in Mexico.

A Latin doclamatiou by Cadot Edwards San ford Hatch, of New York oity, and another selection by tho orohostra woro followed by au essay on "English Life in tho Time of Qneon Elizabeth," by Cadot William Croiehton Peot, of New Orleans, La.

His esBay showed a careful and appreciative Btudy of this important period, and many of its interesting foaturos wero brought out. The next event was an oration by Cadot ltobert MontgomoryThornburgh, of Washington, on "Tho Valuo of American Citizenship," in the course of which ho said: We have aeon what great rights and benefits devolve upon American citizens. Ought foreign era to acquire all these rights, benefits aud a full citizenship as easily as thoy do Our naturalization laws aro at present so lax that tho most miserable anarchists, the refuse and corruption of society on tho eastern hemisphere may in a short timo becomo legislators and partially control tho movements of Christian mon. Thero is a clause in tho law, which states, that the alien, to be naturalized, "must ho of good moral character." This clause has becomo a dead letter, but why should it ho ho? Why, I ask, do wo permit the very scum of othor nations to mako our laws for us. or, at loast.

Theu followed tho concluding ossay on "Tho Genius of Poe," by Cadet Edward Imeson Hors man, of this city. After a consideration of Poe's stories ho said: Frequently his imagination oversteps itself as, for example, in the "Pacts of tho Case of M. Val dernur" and portions of tho narrative of "Arthur Gordon Pym," which disgust from thoir merely physically revolting nature. Another class of his Btories desorvos notice his stories of ratiocination, a kind of narrative vory common now, but almost uukuowu in his day. He might almost bj callod tho pioneer in this olass of writing; at any rate ho is ono of a fow.

Hw stories aro remarkably clever and the analytical power which thoy evince is considerable. Wu cannot leave tlio Bub ioct, however, without a thorough conviction as to tho true direction of Poe'a genius. It lay mainly hero. He knew, nono better, the narrowness of his scopo and tho lack of fertility within it, but ho strove to make the most of that unfcrtility Perhaps no man who wrote so little ever rewrote that little so often or so successfully. His critical powers stood him in better stead iu correcting thau iu composition.

As a critic. Poe has many Buperiors; as a poet ho is only one' among many; but in his own realm, in tho realm of tho unreal, it may with perfect safety bo said that ho has never had au equal. Tho honor bat was next read by the head master and the prizes for academic work proseuted, also the order of military promotions for next year, all these announcements being listonod to by tho company with interest. Then the school shoepskins were prosonted to tho ineuiberB of tho graduating chisa by Bishop Littlejohn, who addressed to them a fow appropriate remarks. After a closing hymn, collects and tho benediction, tho company adjourned to tho beautiful last lawn of the school grounds, to witness a dross Earado by tho cadets and the presentation of tho andsomo trophies, consisting of ilvor cups and medals, to the victorious contestants in tlio lato nthli ric.

L'liinns. Tho presentation was made ac cording to a custom dear to tho hearts oi tho boy I by John A. King, whose genial pleasantry auuou greatly to the pride and pluasuro of the boys in winning their prizeB. This closed tho publio exercises of tho day. To night thp alumni association will hold their annual banquet at tho school and a most successful and cuioyablo reunion is expected.

This ia the close of tho fifth 5'ear of the diocesan administration of tho school and of tho in oumbency of tho present hoad master, Mr. Charles Sturtevaut Moore. The school, during this period, has Bteadily advaucod, although tho number of cadets has not increased. A great many boys havo been rofusod as unfit and a uuinbcr havo beon expollod when thoy evinced a low moral touo. Moreover, tho prico has been raised to $500 a yoar, so that tho institution now is self supporting.

There is anions tho cadets a general tono of manlinosa and loyal school spirit quite different from tho feeling of past years. Tho graduating claasos havo grown from two in 1880 to eleven in this year, though two of tho presont Bixth form remain for a post graduato course. The graduates of tho last four years nro now doing credit to their school in various colleges, including Harvard. Princeton, Yale, Williams, Columbia, StevonB and tho Massachusetts iustituto of technolouy. Of this yoar'B class two enter Columbia, two the Massachusetts institute of technology and fivo or aix from tho fifth form are taking their preliminary examinations.

Tho acadomio work has been much improved, tho grade has been raised aud in quality it has been mado thorough and accurate. During these yoars various Bchool organizations, which aro the exponents of a hoalthy school life, havo been formed aud aro now firmly established. Tho Chevron, a school paper started in the winter of 1885 80, has had a flourishing existence aud maintains a position in tho highest grade of school journalism, both au to form and matter. Ono of its past editors has already entered tho wider Hold of journalism in the world, and a member of the present graduating class will follow his example. Tho athletic association organized iu tho fall of 1885 has held five succossful annnai field daya and holds Bouie of tho boat school records in tho country.

Every winter and spring has witnessed two or threo enjoyable and successful entertainments givon by tho glee club and Bchool orcho9tra, which also Btartod in tho winter of 1885 and 1886. Thore is a reading room managed by a oommittoo of cadots and supported by their contributions. SucceBful toams havo represented tho school ou the foot ball and base ball fields overy Reason, this year thq niue winning Bix out of nino games. The alutam association was organized in an onthusiastie reunion last year. To night it holdB ita sqcond annual meeting and dinner, covers being laid for about forty.

Adv. The New Postmnttcr. The appointment Captain Goorgo J. Collins to the postmastership is not surprise. After the declination of the office by Colonel Andrew D.

Buird there devolved on the administration the necessity of choosing some one equally acceptable to the author is at AVashington. From the outset the esident has insisted on naming a veteran. Tho reasons for selecting a soldier arc senti mental rather than practical. But they had to be taken into account as representing a condition of the presidential mind. General Harrison probably recalled thofactth.it, in his appointments relating to Brooklyn, the grand army had been ignored.

Mr. "Willis, the naval officer, was a school boy while the war was going on. Mr. Nathan, collector of internal revenue, was making cigars far from the gory field. Mr.

Jesse Johnson, federal district attorney, was cultivating in New England the talents which have since distinguished him in tho forensic arena. Mr. Daniel Lako, marshal, was a lad in Gowanus. 'boys in blue" had heard so much about epublican sympathy and Republican admi ration for their achievements that they began to wonder whether they were' to be overlooked. Their curiosity, by the appointment of Captain Collins, is negatived.

His war record is not open to criticism. Now as to his qualifications for the office What th; p2'vlo wont is an efficient administration of the postal system. Is Captain Collins capable of carrying forward the good work begun by Mr. Hendrix That is a question that can only be answered by experience. Complaint is made in some quarters that the incoming officer does not possess the necessary equipment.

It might, with equal force, be asked what special training or fitness Mr. Hendrix had for the placo when his name was submitted by President Cleveland to the Senate. Until ho assumed charge in Washington street Mr. Hendrix's relation to postal affairs consisted of dropping his letters in the box and investing occasionally in the purchase of a postage stamp. His experience in business had been confined to several years of conscientious work as a newspaper reporter and a brief term as secretary of the board of bridge trustees.

That Mr. Hendri has greatly improved our postal service is not more certain than that his 8peoial adaptability to tho task in hand re mained to be demonstrated after Ins appoint ent. In the post office he has exhibited re efficiency. Under his direction the of tho mails has been expedit the income of tho office materially biased and the general postal facilities the city greatly multiplied. But is there any particular reason why Captain Collins, if he takes hold in good faith and is exempt from outside interference, cannot do as well Mr.

Hendrix, during four years of intelligent and commendable oxertion, has started the postal machinery in the right direction. All that Captain Collins will have to do is to see that it is continued in motion and supplemented by such improvements as may bo demanded by the growth of the city. Upon the political significance of the appointment much stress has been laid. It is easy to exaggerate the importance of the selection. That Captain Collins has been an active politician is not true in the sense that he has depended on the public for a living.

It is true in the sense that he has participated earnestly, and sometimes aggressively, in various party movements. While his alliances have not always been with the elovating and reformatory forces of his party, he has passed through the ordeal of partisan contention without a blemish on his personal character. Ordinarily considerations of locality would have no bearing on the postmas tership. They have none now, so far as the business of the office is oonccrned. The fact will not escape attention, however, that Captain Collins lives in the often vexed and much debated third congressional district.

Moreover, he comes from the Strongly contested Twenty first ward. Whether the location of his residence had any thing to do with his appointmeut is problematical. The direction of his sympathies in tiie congressional fight is uuTmown. That he would use the "patronage of the post office for potty factional purposes will have to be proven before discriminating citizens, on this account, consent to think ill of him. Moreover, it by no means follows that thelittle patronage outside the civil service rules could be used effectively.

Nothing is more certain than that proof of undue federal interference in the district would lead to a revolt of the moor independent elements of Republicanism. Suehrevolt must necessarily be fatal to whatever candidate seeks, through administration favor, to force himself on a reluctant constituency. Tho congressional nomination, if a political revolution is not invited, will havo to be made not at AVashington, but in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, every upright, fair minded and progressive citizen will wish Captain Collins success in his new office. If he applies himself energetically to the adequate discharge of his duties he can give Brooklyn an entirely satisfactory postal administration.

If, on the other hand, he allows himself to be diverted by irrelevant considerations from his public obligations his career will be a failure. The Eagle, in any event, will neither leave Brooklyn in uncertainty as to his methods nor deny him, if he succeeds, tho commendation invited by his efforts to promote the convenience and welfare of the pub lie. Brlce or Gorman. The New York Times on Thursday printed an article calling for the retirement of Calvin S. Brice, the chairman of the Democratic national committee, on the ground that his railroad and other business affiliations disenable him from effectively conducting whatever is meant by the enigmatical expression of "a campaign of education." The New York Star of Friday camo to the rescue of Chairman Brice with a declaration that the work of the national committee is already well in hand.

The somewhat ambiguous statement is made that "Within twenty four hours tho Democratic national committee can take up its work as thoroughly as it was carriod on at any time during the campaign of 1888." It is to bo hoped so, and a little moro "thoroughly," and a littlo more effectively, if possible. The pleasing intelligence is volunteered that "for tho first timo in the history of tho national committee it has a permanent abiding placo in New York city," and that Chairman Briue "pays out of his own pocket the expenses of the secretary and of the office." We are furthor assured that "tho distribution of tariff reform literature is being looked after by big, genial Bon Le Fevre." Chairman Brice was also interviewed by the Star and for a wonder, he being of course a residout of Ohio, was found to be accidentally present in Now York city. Ho said that "he would be very glad to get out at any timo," but he talked as if he did not mean it, and as if he did not expect to be The tone of the English press upon the arrangement whioh has been made between Great Britain aud Germany, by whioh the former country oedes to the latter the unimportant island of Heligoland and the latter grants to the former some important oonoes sions in Africa, is such as to suggest that organship is quite as prevalent in the United Kingdom as it is hero. Indoed, it is more so. Here organship is growing into quite intelligible collapse and wholly unqualified impo.

toncy. There organship seems to be as riotous and as rampant as formerly it was here. For many yoars tho Polytechnic institute has been a matter of agreeable and generous concern to Brooklyn people. This interest will not be abated now that the school has been lifted by the state to a higher collegiate level, whilo a wider educational reputation, reaching beyond the city borders, may be expected if follow. The onnual commencement which was held at the Academy of Music last night the first since tho Polytechnic was clothed with its larger functions was therefore marked, if possible, by a more animated spirit on tho part of graduates and students, and greater enthusiasm on the part audience, than ever before.

A dramatic sequel to tho Suburban is promised in the proposed match botween Salvator, the victor, and Tenny and Cassius, his chief competitors. Mr. Pulsifer, the owner of Tenny, as related yesterday in our entertaining turf gossip, is convinced that his colt can beat either the Haggin crack or the Bever wyck flyer. Tenny, after the great race of Tuesday, was unmarked by whip or spur and showed not the least distress. In view of his admirable condition subsequent to that trying ordeal, and his previous phenomenal exhibitions of speed, Mr.

Pulsifer proposes a sweepstakes of $5,000 for tho contending trio, with $5,000 to be added by the Coney Island jockey club. It is also proposed that Mr. Belmont enter Racoland for the contest. When the closeness of the Suburban finish is borne in mind it will be seen that a contest such as that proposed by Mr. Pulsifer would involve all the delightful uncertainties of racing.

Tho contest, if arranged and run, will undoubtedly be the greatest match lace that over took place in this country. The occupants of buildings at tho corner of Fulton street and Broadway, New York, are tired of being blown up by the explosions which are now frequent in that vicinity. Every day or so something goes off in a most unexpected and alarming manner; the earth heaves, walls totter, plaster cracks, pa voments undulate, streets are ripped open and there are all the outward phenomena of a seismic convulsion. Yet there is no blame resting on the forces of nature for these uncomfortable surprises. It all comes of tho unworkmanlike way in which the plexas of subterranean pipes at that point has boen laid.

One of the chief sufferers has resolved to endure the nuisance no longer and intends to sue the city for damages. Ho is a public spirited citizen and will bo cordially sustainod by tho sentiment of the whole community. Those explosions are a disgrace to the administration of the metropolis. They manifest a gross neglect on the part of its official representatives and show with what little respect the interests of the people are treated by the beneficiaries of public franchises. A heavy bill of damages might have a refreshing effect upon all who are in any way responsible.

Since the organization of the rapid transit commission in New York, it has been favored from outside with many solutions of tho problem of transportation within the city. Various plans have been urged upon it and alleged measures agreed upon by it have been described from time to time. The latest decision attributed to it is published to day. Assuming the report to be accurate, tho commission will concern itself with anything but a line running from the terminus of the Brooklyn bridge to the Grand Central station at Forty second street. The demands of the publio south and west of Center street must be supplied in some othor yet undisclosed way.

The soheme contemplates' a road partly underground and partly elevated. It involves the extension and widening of Elm street. It is substantially tho measure suggested eighteen yearB ago by the late Commodore Vanderbilt, in behalf of the Central and Hudson river railroad com pttny, tho right to perfeot which has lain in aboyanco over since. It seems to be assumed that as the ju.it named corporation will have a large interest in the enterprise it will bo able to build it on the best terms and to bear a part of the expense. It is farther assumed that the Central company will be able to furnish rapid transit beyond Forty second street.

If this plan should be adopted there would still be a large business for the elevated railroads, From IBorse to Othor Power. Tho recent decision by the court of appeals nf this state removes the obstacle hitherto opposed to a change of power by surfaoo street railroads. The effect of such a change will be suggested by a few figures. When the Third avenue company in New York, which will at once prepare to use cable traction, has completed the work, 2,000 horses will be released from duty. What this means in enhanced popular comfort and convenience may be conjectured.

This is one line, but others will not bo far behind. The Broadway company is preparing for a like change and presently will have not much fewer animals to sell. The Sixth avenue, Eighth avenue, Belt and other routes will before long be similarly equipped. Thousands of horses will find dthor employment. Getting rid of them is a great gain of course this is not the only advantage.

The new power, whether oablo or electric, implies increased speed and economy. The judgment of the court of last resort affirms tho constitutionality of the act which authorizes the surface roads to make the change with the consent of the railroad commissioners of the state instead of the common council of the city. ItB passage was due to the difficulty of obtaining the consent of tho aldermen without downright purchase. It is not complimentary to these once venerated officers that the law was enacted by the legislature, but it is fortunate for the public. In Brooklyn the inclination is toward electricity rather than the cablo, but the decision serves the purpose as well hero as beyond tho river.

It appears from a statement by President Lewis, of the City company, published by the Eaole yesterday, that proceedings under the act, as sustained by tho court, will be promptly taken. At tho samo time the movement to secure tho consent of the aldermen will go on. This is very proper. It is well to cover all points. With the approval of the common council and tho adjoining owners, as well as that of the state commissioners, all delay and hiudranco will bo avoided and the resulting general good feeling will bo worth the trouble.

Three leading corporation already havo their petitions before the appropriate committee of the aldermen. The other lines should come in and when they have secured the right they can make the change at such time as may seem expedient. It would greatly expedite the business to hear all the applicants together. Tho same considerations apply to every case, tho determining principles and considerations are identical, and an argument good for one is good for all. A Southern Garland for 4J rant's Grave.

The proprietor of tho New York Times has received from a committee of the Fifth Infantry of the Maryland National Guard a check for 75 as a contribution to tho Grant Monument fund. While the regiment was en route to attend the ceremony of the un vailing of the equestrian statue of General Lee at Richmond tho attention of some of tho members was called to tho editorial frenzy of tho good shepherd of tho New York Mail and Express. Distressed by an exhibition so contrary to tho fraternal feeling which has supplanted tuo passions and prejudices of tho Civil War, the guardsmen held a meeting at which each of them gave a dollar for tho purpose above iudicated and as a token of their sense of tho injustice which tho colonel's Vesuvian rhotoric does the Southern people. They also adopted the following declaration Having read with detestation and horror tho cruel and unmanly attack upon our motivoa by one who, under tho garb of a Christian, attempts to stir up strife and bitterness among a people reunited forevor beyond all his efforts to estrange, hereby, in token of our estoom for and grotitndo to him for his soldierly and statesmanlike interposition when friends ware fens subscribe tho sum set opposite to our names to help to roar tho long doferrod monument to tho mom ory of U. 9.

Grant, and we olodgo ourselves, whon tho time shall come to dedicate it, that we will not bo found laggard in gathering to render homage to him at its base. It does not need to bo said that as a rebuke to tho fiery and extravagant ebullitions of tho Mail and Express the foregoiug embodies tho judgment of all sensible persons. Tho nation to day is thinking not of the past, but of tho present and future, and whatever tends to mar the restored harmony and patriotio fellowship of the two sections merits the reprobation of both. The affection and reveronce with which his old comrades in arms recall tho memory of Robert E. Lee are as natural as the omotiona which the name of Grant inspires among tho gallant soldiers who fol jowed his standard in battle.

The vanquished bravo not less than the victors romomber with pride the valor and devotion which the war revealed. They would be les3 than men if they did not.
