A ENDED IN PEACE ARMOHYREPAIR OCCURRENCES AT OOSEY ISLAND. Tbo man Injured Yesterday Morning fa Dead. ON LONG ISL AND room Wednesday morning he found thoy had taken their departure and oarried off a quantity of clothing and other valuables. NOTES FROM NEWTOWN. FIUDAY EVEHING, AUGUST 23, 1S30.

ployes havo on interest in maintaining thoir places. It is part of the history of nearly every human life, every day, that informal consultations ocour between employer and employe If that informal consultation is friendly, it is successful and passes without notice. If tho attempt to force it is made and tho attempt is called arbitration, then tho issue resolves itself into absolute form and a friction which produces anger, arrogance, discontent and disorder onsues. The problem of getting on in tho world is to make such frequent consultation informal and not to produce the friction referred to. Neither Mr.

Webb nor Mr. Powderly has boon so successful as could bo wished in avoiding such friction, but tho pemanent interests of the trusts which they hold will yet vindicate themselves against any mistakes which either may have made, in a controversy that is more artificial than real, in all its bearings. a law, will be moro injurious to the Republicans in the presidential election than it will to themselves, they will not be committing a very serious blunder. For the moment they should insist on proceeding with discussion of the tariff. That discussion is bringing facts to light which are bound to bear fruit in the November elections.

Pikcatorial Pirate The piscatorial pirates of Canarsie are coolly defying the law. They havo determined to resist enforcement of the statute prohibiting seine fishing in Jamaica bay. In their efforts to evade the decree of tho state they have the countenance, if not the support, of the neighboring authorities. A Canarsie justice who has taken up their cause, with an amount of sagacity worthy of Dogberry or Mr. Alfred Jingle's magisterial friend, Mr.

Nupkins, decides that the legislature, in passing a prohibitive law, did not mean the Jamaica bay bordering on the town of Flatlands, but some other Jamaica bay. Consequently, the offending fishermen, who were detected in illegal acts, have been discharged. To heighten the absurdity of the situation the seine manipulators have instituted suits for damages against the agents of the society for the protection ot fish and game. Citizens who would enforce the law find themselves, in other words, sued by tho lawbreakers. Nothing could be more grotesque than the attitude of the offenders or that of their aiders and abettors, the local justices.

Meanwhile, the seine fishers, to the disgust and discomfiture of the publio, are pursuing, without molestation, their unlawful calling. It is idle to suppose that justice will be done by the town magistrates. Those suburban functionaries, one of whom distinguished himself by opening court with an ax, are wholly untrustworthy where their personal or political interests aro at stake, While the controversy has been put in the light of comedy it has a serious side which invites the attention of the next grand jury and tho prosecuting load ships with goods made by the unhappy women. The shipowners sided with the factory owners, and yesterday 400 firms entered into a combination to suppress the interference of outsiders with private business. This union of capital and enterprise against agitators will be attempted in other Australian cities.

In tho meantime the strikes are impoverishing the people and the prices of necessaries of life aro advancing. Local Democracy to Honor Jefferson. The Democratic organization of this city has designated September 23 for the opening of the new party headquarters. The building is appropriately called tho Thomas Jefferson. Whilo those who nso his name do not alweys conform to his teachings, the body with which thoy are identified represents more conspicuously than any other the foroe of Jefferson's illustrious oxample' and tho spirit of the immortal doctrines wliich ho expounded.

Thomas Jefferson was tho founder of tho Democratic party, not, porhaps, as it is to day, but as the author of the principles on which it has existed for nearly a century and from which, if it hopes to survive, it must continue to derive it3 inspiration. As tho advocate of liberty and the defender of personal rights, the friend of the masses and the foe of oasto, ho appealed and still appeals irresistibly to the plain manhood of this republic Wherever men are esteemed for what they are, not for what thoy pretend to be, his memory is revorel and his precepts are laid to heart. It is fitting, therefore, that the party which assumes to stand for the interests of the common people should honor its famous apostle and itself by adopting his name. If its members succeed in living up to his teachings, so much the better for the party and tho public. There is no impropriety in the establishment of a permanent home for the Democratic organization.

It is, on the contrary, a movement to be commended. While amateurs in public affairs are constantly inveighing against partisanship tho fact, emphasized by years of practical experience, is that a party can no more get along without organization than a man can walk without legs. When tho Democrats take formal possession of their now headquarters thoy will come together under encouraging circumstances. In the city and state they are in undisputed control of executive administration. Thi3 commonwealth has on state issues uninterruptedly asserted its Democracy for nearly a decade.

Kings county and Brooklyn are securely Democratic by safe majorities whenever the leaders of the Democratic majority avoid capital blunders in their nominations. It is idle to say that Brooklyn is rapidly becoming a Kepublican city. There is no evidence to sustain this view. Against it is tho significant fact that fifteen years havo passed since the Republicans elected a straight candidate for mayor, twelve years since they controlled tho offices of controller and auditor and eight years since they held tho county registership. The sheriff's office and the county clerkship aro in Republican hands, but their loss to tho Democracy is attributable to Democratic dissensions rather than to any special development of strength on the part of organized Republicanism.

Naturally in tho majority the Democrats, in order to retain supremacy, have only to pursue a proper ourso. There is nothing in the present condition of what is called Democratic management that tho public do not thoroughly understand. Tho organization, in general relations, has been enlarged and improved. While, however, its rolls bear more names than ever before in its history, Mr. Hugh McLaughlin continues in absolute command.

His authority is as far reaching os it ever was, and no candidate for high office can bo nominated without his consent. Thoso who would quarrol with his leadership will loso nothing by remembering that it is a condition, not a theory, that confronts them. Whether they liko Mr. McLaughlin oi not Mr. McLaughlin is "boss" of the situation.

That the erection of a new headquarters will impair his influence is not to be supposed. In Jefferson Hall aro represented many elements heretofore regarded as independent, but the McLaughlin influence is as potent there as it has been elsewhere during the greater part of the past thirty years. The Democracy can profitably broaden the scope of individual liberty in the organization. That the machine men will depose their leader is not to be expected in present conditions, But Mr. McLaughlin ought to appreciate that as his decision of affairs becomes liberalized the more it will inure to the benefit of the party.

If Jefferson Hall is conducted as a close corporation, by any group or gang, it will bo at varian ce with the example of the statesman for whom it is named and a libol on the great body of citizens who support Democratic candidates and believe in Democratic principles. On the ItocliB. Souator Quay's resolution went over again in the senate yesterday, and last night there was a "conference" of Republican leaders in Washington to try and unite on a plan of action. No specific policy was agreed upon, but it is very evident that the attempt to force tho federal elections bill through the senate at this session has boon practically abandoned. The administration organs are indignant.

"If the Republican senators," says the esteemed Press, were not consulting their own conveniences and weakening under a measure vital to the future of the party," limitation would be placed upon debate. The Tribune tries hard to conceal its anger, sneeringly alluding to thoso representatives of tho party who are in the habit of trading with Democrats." But why should the Democrats bo in a "trading" mood? They seem now to have their opponents on tho run. That tho Republican senators have not been able to settle their differences, ovea under the mellow influence of Mr. McMillan's generous hospitality, is proof sufficient that the quarrel within the party racks is by no means of a trivial nature. The storm signals are flying and as the venerable old ship nears tho rocks disinterested observers may clearly perceive the deep seated dissensions which render the skippers powerless to decide on a clearly defined programme.

Tho truth is that, if the Democrats in the senate were convinced at first that some sort of bargain would be necessary to kill the force bill, they no longer have reason to be apprehensive on that score. Thoy clearly perceive that it would be a radical mistake to make concessions so far as the tariff is concerned in order to delay action concerning a measure the whole effect of which must be misohievous, especially as related to the fate of the administration. All over the country Republican newspapers whioh have not been "muzzled" by presidential appointments are pointing out the supreme folly of attempting to restrict the liberties of the people in the manner proposed. Indeed, if the force bill is cordially sustained by public sentiment anywhore the fact has not boen made apparent, either in recent utterances of the state platforms or in the deliverances of the independent Repnblican preBs. Southern Republicans havo no sympathy with it; in the East what little support there may bo is lukewarm, while in the agricultural states of the Northwest the fate of the measure is regarded by the Republican constituencies with tho utmost indifference.

We say nothing of the distinguished members of the party, like Dr. Cuyler, whose ringing denunciations have been in full accord with the views entertained by all intelligent observers of public opinion. True, the office holding classes, having been notified that the bill has the support of the "administration," are trying to curry favor by an unequaled display of "enthusiasm," but their shouts havo a hollow sound and poorly make amends for the, bitterness of the quarrel within the Republican household. It is very certain that if the promoters of the measure had the fullest confidence in the integrity of thoir position they would not be making overtures for a "bargain" nor holding conferences in the manner described. To postpone consideration until December next would be one method of testing publio sentiment, for if a Democratic majority be elected to tho houso of representatives in November the moral effect of suoh an expression of opinion as related to the force bill could not bo overlooked.

It would, at all events, serve notice on tho Republican party that to go before the country in 1892 with arecord of armed interference at the polls wonld be a dangerous, if not entirely ruinous, experiment. Indeed, if the Democrats act on the assumption that the force bill, even though it should become The Dispute Between England and Portugal. A.

Tho papors aro congratulating Lord Salisbury npon the successful settlement of tho dispute between England and Portugal, which at ono timo thrcatouod to result in war. Though a conflict at arms with Portugal could hardly have endod othorwise than in a victory for England, yet tho popular foeling was very strongly avorso to a resort to force, and tho peaceful conclusion of tho affair is hailed with pleasure by all classes and parties. Tho young earl of Shannon, formerly Lord Boylo, whoso wanderingB throughout Canada and mysterious disappearance at the momont whon he was to havo succeeded to the oarldom made his name known throughout the world, has boon busy Bince his return to Great Britain investigating tho condition of his Irish estates.

Mrs. Johns told Justioe Eonna yesterday that Mrs. Mary Ellery owned the dog and asked to have it killed. Mrs. Ellery dOnied that she owned the dog.

Sho was positive however, that tho dog had not boen guiltyof the offense charged. Mrs Johns said that the animal had left a black and blue spot on her child's limb aa big as a half dollar piece. "Was the child's skin broken by the dog's teeth the jastico asked. "It was not, your honor," Mrs. Johns repliod, "bnt tho black and blue spot is there jot," "Did you call hi the services of a physician 1" the magistrate interrupted.

"I did not, eir. I didn't think it necessary. "Well, then, my dear madam, I can't help you. You have no proof to show that the dog bit your boy. If the child had boen bitten tho marks of the animal's teeth would have been thero.

Bosult squabble, with usual acoompanimeutB. It was reported last night that young Frank Davis, the Bath Beaoh painter, who was struok by a West End train yesterday morning, was dead. Davis had been ono of tho guests at tho ball of the John Y. McKano association held tho previous night, and had remained until its conoluBion. A few houra lator the train on tho Brooklyn, Bath and West End railroad, whioh loft Coney Island, was running around the ourvo in tho lino in ihe West Meadows, when Enginoor Luke Frayne discovered a form upon the track only a foot ahead.

With a shriek from the throttle the lever was reversed, but tho traoka wet with the morning dew offered littlo resistance and before the train was brought to a stop the unfortunate, who proved to bo Davis, was hurled into tho air and fatally injured. His head and right Bide wore horribly lacerated. The injurod man was at once recognized by Officer John Murphy, of Coney Island police heatlquartors, and removed to his home. Drs.

THE BODY OF AS UNKNOWN.

It Was Dicovnrcd by Uy Floating In the East Rivon While a number of small boys were playing on the dook at tho foot of Noble streot yesterday afternoon they saw the body of a man floating in the water. Tho discovery was reported to ono of tho workmen, who soenred a rope and made the body fast to the pier. The remains are those of a man about 40 years old, with sandy hair and mustache. It waa dressed in a suit of black clothing. A pair of overalls covered the trousers.

From the clothing it is belioved that the body is that of a laboier. There was nothing on his person that would lead to his identification. An examination of the body failed to disolose any marks of violence and it is supposed tho unfortunate man fell from one of the docks and was drowned whilo at work. Coroner Lindsay was notified and had tho body removed to tho morgue. IT COST HIM A DOLLAB.

Johnland Im provement Contracts. The regular weekly meeting of tho board of supervisor, held yesterday afternoon in their rooms in tho county court house, wan a short ono and the mombors seemed moro anxious to get out into tho light of day than to sit arbitrating upon the humdrum of the city's business. Promptly at 3 o'clock Supervisor Bainley, prosident pro torn, called tho meeting to order. Among tho communications was one from the colonel of the Twonty third regiment, requesting tho authorization of needed repairs to tho armory building. Tho request, upon motion, was reforrod to tho military committee, who wore instructed to act in conjunction with tho superintendent or construction' in making the necessary investigation and report.

Then follorred a recommendation from tho committee on contracts, advising that the contract for fitting up the boilers in jail be awarded to Christopher Cnnningham at a fisruro not to exceed $3,700. Tho recommendation was accordingly approvod and the contract bo awarded. Supervisor Juengst then stirred up a hot opposition, wan presenting a communication in which somo repairs to tho Thirty second rogiment armory wore requested. Tho dosument stated that tho building was sadly in noed of outiiido doors, repairs to tho roof and alsn new insido doora. Supervisor Rigs suggested that as the armory had somo SG.000 or so lying idle within its cofi'ers, somo mon9y shonld bo used for defraying tho eipenso of such repairs.

Here Supervisor Fitchie exproased his disapproval of making any further appropriations to the armory jiut at presont, as only a short timo ago a large sum had been spent upon the building, which ought to bo sufficient for a good while to come. Ho thought, a3 they had money lying idle, it was high time to call a halt npon farther appropriations. Iu order to get the matter properly disposed of ho moved that tho communication ho referred to tho superintendent of construction and repairs for his approval or rejection. To further Bit on the matter, he stated that tho $0,000 had b3eu appropriated for other purpoaoB and could not well bo used for anything other than so provided. Supervisor Riggs hero again came to tho rescuo by moving to refer tho matter to the counsel of the board for an opinion.

It was no use, howover, for the motion was lost, and Mr. Fitchio's motion was put to tho honao and carriod by a voto of 14 to 0. Supervisor O'Donnell, on behalf of the committee on connty reoords, gave approval to the bill of Connty Clerk Kaiser for $2,081.48 for official serviceB. The approval was so indorsed. The flrat thing of importance under the head of unfinished business, was the rooommendation of the contracts committee in which the contracts for the St.

Johnland improvements were awarded to James W. Birkett. Supervisor Jacobs at once offered an amendment to the offeot that the contractor bo required to do extra work and fulfill outside requirements which was not shown under tho regular specifications, at such a rate as Bhonld be fixed by the engineer, the board of supervisors and the board of charities commissioners. Ho then explained that in tho old specifications this matter was loft to tho engineer, who recoivod 5 per cent, for such estimating. A vote was then called for, and, upon polling, it was found that the motion was lost by a count of 20 to 8.

Tho matter of awarding the contract was then takon up, but Supervisor Fitohio had on hiB war paint and proclaimed himself asstrongly opposed to the adoption of the recommendation of the contracts committee. He said that tho bids wero not in proper form, as approximate estimates had not been placed after the various items of tho specifications, at least in the other bids. In Mr. Birkett's case this was done, howevor, and as ho was the only bidder, that was tho reason tho contraot was awarded to him. The speaker went on to say that he did not, or could not understand how such a course could bo approvod in a case whore such an enormouB expenditure of money was contemplated.

From another standpoint ho was opposed to the resolution awarding the contraot to Mr. Birkett, one point of which was that ho had heard that that gentleman had but a short timo ago promised certain persons to use his influence toward preventing the Fassott oommitteo from dipping into the internal doings of Brooklyn's government. Ab Mr. Birkett was tho representative of this district in the senate and also a member of the committee which has heretofore oaueod suoh hovoo in its investigations into tho doings of politicians, he thought some color was given to the rumor. He said that ono afternoon paper had stated that thero was nothing like the Tweed ring in Brooklyn, and that whatever was done was in tho nature of petit larceny.

The speaker could not see this, as he said within a very short time two largo contracts had been awarded to tho highest bidder by the city works commissioner, one of them at $133,000 iu oxcosb of tho lowest bid, and he could not see how that was nothing stronger than petit larceny. He thought a discrepancy of 470,000 between the bids of experienced contractors, as in the. presont case, was a most extraordinary thing. He said that when things went wrong the blame was usually thrown npon the Bhoulders of the aldormon and supervisors, whereas, as ho had stated above, thero ware others to blame for certain things well as thomsolvoi. When tho speaker had finished Supervisor Jacobs also put himBolf on record as being opposed to the resolution, and a voto was then taken, showing that the opposition was overridden, and the award was authorized by a vote of 24 to 4.

It was a lovely Sunday morning in the month of February, and the brig Atlanta, Captain Herman Aldrich, was about one hundred and fifty miles northeast from Turk's island, with a light breeze. Everything was quiet as befitted the day. The captain and his wife were standing by the cabin gangway engaged in conversation at 8 o'clock, A. when the second mate oalled out from the rigging, "There's wreck off onr quarter, somo mileB away." Captain Aldrioh at once changed his course and steered for what appeared to be a large vessel, bottom up. "With all sail drawing, it was 11 o'clock, three honrs after the thing was first seen, before the Atlanta came along Bide, sixty or seventy feet off, quite" as near as any on board had any desire to approach what now seemed to be a hitherto nndescribed monster of the deep.

It appeared to be sleeping as nearly on the surface of the water as its specific gravity would admit, in whioh position it lay aeveral feet higher out of water than the rail of the brig, and the length out of water was estimated by the captain and first mate, Frank Beolent, to be about ninety feet, which, judging from the form ob Tar as it could be disoerned, was less than one half the entire length of the monster. The back appeared to bo covered with a hard shell, of a dark brown with stripes a few shades lighter, giving it much the look of tho lights and shades on a corrugated iron surface. Theiowor part of the aides was of a yellow color shading to white as far as could be soon in the water. All bands on board the Atlanta saw as much as they desired of tho creature, and the brig was put upon her course agaiu and got away as fast an possible. The fact that everybody who had ever reported seeing anything of the kind has been set down as drunk and laughed at deterred Captain Al drich from saying anything about his adventure, save to a few intimate friends untd he read in the Eaqu! of Sunday Captain Knowlton's report.

Then Mrs. Aldrich declared her belief that she had aeon the same thing, or else there were two of a kind. SOCTHOLD'S GREAT CELEBRATION.

Mr. Webb says that that is not true. Mr. Powderly then asks why were the men discharged Mr. "Webb replies for incompetency, inefficiency and unfaithfulness to the interests of the road.

Mr. powderly further asks, How were those reasons discovered and established? Mr. "Webb answers, by the report and investigation of every officer of tho road, from those immediately over tho men, up to the officials at headquarters. Mr. Powderly then requests that the discharges of thesomen be passed on by arbitrators.

Mr. Webb refuses. Mr. Powderly finally desires that the men be placed in front of him and of Mr. Webb and that he, Powderly, hear what they have to say as to the reasons why they 'were discharged.

Mr. Webb refuses. Mr. Powderly then goes off and orders all the knights of labor on all the Vanderbilt lines to discharge themselves, on tho ground that he believes tho sixty five men were turned out for belonging to labor organizations and that Tie does not believe Mr. Webb tells the truth when he denies that they were.

The strike is thus ordered, avowedly by Mr. Powderly, because of his want of confidence in Mr. Webb's word. There is nothing more than this in Mr. Powderly's statement, excepting what the old writers used to call "leather and prunella," or, as Hamlet said to Polonius: "words, words, words." The question comes down to this Can the of tho Hudson Central discharge men for reasons satisfactory to the Company, or must those reasons be told to Mr.

Powderly in advance and be ratified by liim Is the Hudson Central ran by its own officers, or is it run by them subject to such conditions as Mr. Powderly may proscribe? Mr. Powderly uses many words to describe what he thinks is the tyranny of tho officers of the road running the road. He uses no words to describe what would be the situation if he (Powderly) ran the officers and told them on What conditions they could run the road by Mm, for him and through him. The question of whether tho Hudson Central road shall be Ttui by its officers or shall be run by Terence V.

Powderly is going to bo decided. If the men go out and then force the company to take them back, that will make Mr. Powderly the master of the Hudson Central road and of every muur ruuroau in mis country anu will render him a very powerful personage. If the men go out and the company fills their places with others and succeeds in continuing its business with new hands, then Mr. Powderly will be less powerful than he is now or than he hopes to bo hereafter, while tho officers of the Hudson Central will simply retain Ihe claim which they now put forth, that, iaving been chosen by the stockholders to run the road, it is their right, and duty to do eo, and that Mr.

Powderly, not having been chosen for any such purposo, cannot be permitted to do so. Nor is this all. If Mr. Powderly succeeds in making himself the master of the Hudson Central railroad and of all the other rail Toads in this country, by establishing the principle that be must be the judge of the Teasons for discharging men before those men can be considered discharged, then he will also have made himself the master of every organization of labor on railroads whatever. Between the Hudson Central and its trainmen no trouble exists.

It is Mr. Powderly's determination, however, to drag those trainmen into his own trouble. Between tho Hudson Centrnl and its conductors no trouble exists. It is Mr. Powderly's determination, however, to drag those conductors into his own trouble.

Between tho Hudson Central and its switchmen no trouble exists. It is Mr. Powderly's determination, however, to drag those switchmen into his own trouble. Between the Hudson Central and its firemen no trouble exists. It is Mr.

Powderly's determination, however, to drag those firemen into his own trouble. Between the Hudson Central and its locomotive engineers no trouble exists. It is Mr. Powderly's determination, however, to drag those engineers into his own trouble. Between the Hudson Central and other rail Toads no trouble exists.

Between those other railroads and any of their employes no trouble exists. It is essential to Mr. Powderly's scheme, however, to drag those other railroads and all the employes of those other railroads into his own trouble. Between the public of the United States and tho railroads of the "United States no trouble exists. It is essential to Mr.

Powderly's scheme, however, to drag not only those railroads, but tho public of the United States, into his own trouble About everything worth having or worth getting in the work of life depends for its success on trade, travel, food, order, peacefulness and safety. If trade and travel can be broken up for even a little while, food fiupply will cease. If food supply ceases, the displacements of life will be so great and so Yast, that order, peacefulness and safety will be at an end. Tho conditions which would then ensue would be summed up in the impressive and significant word called 'anarchy," which, being rudely interpreted, means "everyone for himself and tho devil take the hindmost." That would be tho condition if Mr. Powderly could successfully draw all the labor of the United States, all tho railroads of the United States and all tho people of tho United States into his own trouble.

In such a case he would be tho most prominent, powerful and dangerous being that ever was, the master of labor, tho master of railroads and the master of the people. We would all have to walk around with "Permits to live signed Terence V. Powderly" and carried in our pockets or pinned on tho front of our coats or bound around our hats. We do not believe that this result will be reached. We do not believo that Mr.

Powderly would like to have this result brought about, for it would stagger him and overthrow him if it was. Nor do wo believo that the Hudson Central railroad will allow him to tnake himself its master, or that the other tr Kpcr ipir it nrpr fir r.nnr.

In other words, wo believo that he has bitten off more than ho can chew, and that the salutary rinciplo of the man and the employer defining their relations to one another, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual needs, will survive any principle wliich is brought into conflict with it. The absolute statement of any truth rarely describes its actual operation.

The right of argo employes and the discharge themselves Yet employers have Rapid Traauit on Atlantic Avenue. Theodore F. Miller, Hassan H. Wheeler and Howard J. Foraker, the commissioners of the supreme court in the matter "of the application of the Atlantic avenue elevated railroad company, havo made their report to the general term, and it is synoptically presented in another column.

From the 15th of May uutil now they have been considering tho matter. Their hearings were frequent and public. Their deliberations have been prolonged and careful. Their conclusions are in line with what tho Eagle has repeatedly declared was the purposo which Atlantic avenue must be made subserve in the interests of the public of these two cities and of Long Jslaad. They report in favor of an elevated road as tho method of carriage on that avenue.

They pronounce for a three track elevated road on Atlantic avenuo, from Flatbush avenue eastward to tbo end, and for a two track elevated road on Atlantic avenue from Flatbush avenue westward to South ferry. Permission to the applying company to construct between the two tracks west of Flatbush avenuo a third internal track, to be used for the storage of cars and for the shifting of trains, ns the case may is granted, on tho express condition and with the express promise of the appli cants that such internal track shall never exceed over a thousand feet in length. It is improbable that more than two tracks will be built east of Flatbush avenue, at tho present time; in other words, that tho third track permitted will not bo constructed until the need for it shall arise. Tho power to build such a third track there, however, is a necessity in tho development of Brooklyn to meet the inevitable volume of business in the nearing future. The report of the commission will, we trust, be confirmed by tho general term.

Public interest requires Atlantic avenuo for the travel and traffic uses proposed. Tho sort of road authorized can be readily constructed and rapidly constructed. It is within tho resources and willingness of capital. It is infinitely better than the steam surface transit there now, which has become necessary to everybody and satisfactory to nobody. A depressed road, which would have been preferred by many, would have cost moro than its income earning power would have justified.

The conclusion reached will work the most good to all people, as a whole, the least harm to the hatful of persistent objectors and will work the speediest relief of a situation which is neither agreeable nor safe. Opposition should now cease, but to presume that it will is to suppose that human nature has undergone a miraculous change or that, among tho funerals that havo been lately held here, the obsequies of various lively old citizens have mysteriously escaped newspaper report. Nevertheless, the report should bo confirmed, the road should bo built and then the objectors, if they are alivo at that time, can be allowed to come in and boast that they "did it all," as they share in the enhanced benefits which will accrue. The Stranded Ship. The Augusta Victoria probably will not break any speed record during the.

voyogo she is now making to Europe, but before starting for the second timo she performed a timely and humano act which certainly will add to her generous reputation and ought to be remembered longer than beating the fastest previous trip by ten or fifteen minutes. The Eagle yesterday published an account of tho stranding of the steamship Dania on Wednesday night on the Long1 Island coast off Short Beach, about four miles from Point Lookout, and this morning's papers repeat and amplify the story. As the weather was clear and the sea light it is not yet apparent why her commander, Captain Schultze, happened to be five miles out of his course. The Dania was a comparatively now vessol and might not have been familiar with tho shore line. Such an excuse will scarcely serve her skipper, because his apparent determination, not to say obstinacy, does not suggest extreme youth or that newness to which the contemporaneous street vocabulary applies the descriptive term fresh." Captain Schultze seems to bo a thrifty, as well as a hardy, mariner.

His commercial circumspection, his conservative caution as to taking any step which might involve an expenditure of money, cannot fail to be appreciated by tho owners of the line. He told the life saving station captain that he wanted no help at all events, it would seem, until the lowest possible price had been put upon it. With equally heroic courage ho refused tho aid of the seagoing tug Indian, opportunely at hand, olthough tho 356 immigrants under his charge were anxiously wondering whether thoy were passing their last twenty four hours on earth and were presently to be swallowed up by the breakers. To this simple minded son of the ocean salvage was a matter of more concern than salvation for anybody on board. Tho faithful sailor avoided the salvage the rescuer being a sister ship and, without making undue exactions upon him, the immigrants were saved.

The officers and crew of the Augusta Victoria acted with promptitude, energy and good judgment, and deserve great credit for their work. Her passengers, although the return to New York and tho redeparture involved delay, disappointment, and perhaps serious loss in some cases, instead of grumbling cheered and manifested most emphatically their hearty sympathy with the merciful and gracious proceeding. Tho question of responsibility and other things may bo left to the company concerned and to the official supervisors of nautical affairs. But there is a general matter which should not be allowed to escape attention. What is tho use of having life saving stations and crews and instrumentalities if they are not available for just such accidents as that of the Dania Captain Ehodes, of the Point Lookout station, was there alone.

His crew does not go on duty until September. With such a force as ho could improvise efficient service would be impracticable. This hard and fast September rule is indefensible. By tho margin of ten days the Dania and her freight of men, women. and children were left without assistance and escaped by good fortune.

The part of the coast where the vessel went ashore is conceded to be especially dangerous. Storms do not always wait upon the almanac. September gales sometimes anticipate the month. Skippers as the case of Captain Schultze shows are apt to forgot to ascertain whether the life saving season has actually begun before they run out of their course and upon a and bank. If the Dania and a hurricano had appeared simultaneously the history of shipwreck might have embraced a new and appalling chapter.

If our life saving system is to attain ita highest usefulness there must bo at least such modification of the practice of arbitrarily suspending it3 activities as shall not leave perilous points exposed at the very time when the merchant fleet is largest and busiest and the greatest number of people are abroad upon tho deep. In the Antipodes. There is a particular significance in tho aspect of the labor conflict in Australia. A week or so ago the workingmen's unions in Melbourne demanded that all the women employed in a certain factory be discharged and their places given to mon. This demand was refused.

The anions thereupon instituted a boycott whioh oxtonded through a number of associated industries and even affected the longshoremen, vfho refused to Tho County Farm Contract The supervisors' award of the St. Johnland contract to State Senator Birkettis not necessarily open to suspicion. Mr. Birkott has long been engaged rh constructive work at the county farm. With his operations no serious fault has been found.

In the present instance he was the lowest bidder. Unless his occupancy of a legislative office is held to disqualify him as a contractor, thero is thus far visible no reason to throw out his bid. If tho task he undertakes is dishonestly or inefficiently performed, good ground will exist for complaint. If he discharges his whole duty to the public no reason for fault finding will occur to impartial citizens. Supervisor Fitchie, in opposing the award, based his opposition on tho allegation that it was the residt of "a deal." Ho charged that Mr.

Birkott was to receive the contract for preventing the so called Fassott committee from extending their investigation to Brooklyn. "I understand he has pledged himself," Mr. Fitchie is reported as saying of Mr. Birkett, "that the committee will not come to Brooklyn, and I can readily appreciate why it would bo in the interest of certain elements to have this contract awarded to him." Mr. Fitchie should be more specific.

If he has jiroof of his assertion, let him produce it. Mr. Birkett's commercial relations to politics are well understood. Equally plain is the absurdity of the notion that he could hoodwink Senator Fassett or Senator Hendricks, his colleagues on the committee, even if he desired to mislead them. Until evidence to the contrary is forthcoming sensible observers will conclude that he received the contract because he was the lowest bidder.

The gang would doubtloss have preferred giving it to Freel. Mr. Powderly impertinently asks Chief Arthur, of tho brotherhood of locomotive engineers, whether his organization stands "among the organizations of labor or among the allies of capital." Mr. Powderly will be very apt to find the engineers standing in their cabs, with their hands on the throttle, and drawing their little $4.60 a day with neatness and dispatch. Theirs is a good job.

It seems strange that tho Republican party has usually found its untrustworthy members in the senate. South Hide Observer. It hasn't.
