Tho application does not boar directly on the main question of rapid transit, but relates to rapid transit for Ooney Island rather than for Brooklyn. While tho problem of providing the oity with a general system of olevatod routes remains unsolvod, no groat harm can arise if this latest scheme, which is nothing more than a local matter, is permitted to rest in abeyance. With tho principal subject disposed of projects of a sectional or suburban ohnracter, similar to that of the Brooklyn, Bath and Wost End Company, can be safely left to settlement at a future period. In connection with resolutions providing for releasing tho premises occupied by Justice Kenna's Court, Alderman Fanning suggested tho erection of a building for court house and police station purposes within the torritory covered by the Twelfth Precinct. That the municipality would derive advantage from ownership of tho real estate used for polico purposes is no more open to doubt than that several of tho station houses, particularly those in the outlying districts, aro unfit and inadequate to accommodate the force by which thoy are occupied.

Expenditure in this direction, however, is properly a subject for future consideration, to be decided upon as opportunity offers, in tho light of the constantly increasing demands made on tho city treasury. To tho end that action may be taken, if at all, with a full understanding of the facts, the resolution requesting the Polico Commissioner to place at tho disposal of the Board such information and suggestions as he deems advisablo is timely and sensible. Among a variety of matters of neighborhood importance the Board considered an appeal from many residents of South Brooklyn in favor of having tho Union street bridge over the Gowanns Canal closed during tho noon hour. Tho ndoption of a resolution to this offect would promote tho comfort and convenience of some thousands of working men and school children without imposing any material obstacle to business on the water affected. As there is a question of law involved, however, the Corporation Counsel was appropriately requested to furnish an opiuion as to the right of the Board to close any bridge over any of the navigable waters of tho State.

A Debate Worthy or tho Senate. Sometimes the most interesting debates in the Senate occur unexpectedly. It was bo Monday. Mr. Eustis, one of the Senators of Louisiana, offered a resolution inquiring of Secretary Manning why certain action respecting silver certificates at the New Orleans Sub Treasury had been taken.

On the question of the right of tho Senate to make the inquiry arose a debate which went to the bottom of the matters in issuo between the President and the Senate. Tho Republican side was sustained with uncommon ability and vigor by John Sherman. lie was thoughtfully replied to by Senators Yost, Pugh and others. Mr. Sherman's contention was that tho Senate had a right to a knowledge of the contents of every official paper, no matter whether tho object was to deal with appointments and removals or with matters of legislation.

Ho raado statement of the Senate's extreme right in the premises, tho best yet uttered. The right of tho Executive to repel interrogation into his acts of removal was succinctly dofended by tho Democratic Senators. Tho dobate was the most brilliant one heard for a long time in the Senate. Running through the spoechos on each side of a nico question was a consciousness of tho power aud strength of the Senate. In truth, the tendency for years has been to magnify Congress, aud in the Presidential offico itself the drift has been toward the policy of minimizing that trust.

Congress pared down the Presidency under Andrew Johnson. President Grant let the politicians run tho offico when he hold it. Mr. Hayes was afraid of his title and was correspondingly timid. Mr.

Garfield was killed while trying to emphasize his powers. Presidont Arthur expended tho energy of his mind on tho social duties of his station. President Cleveland has declined to have or attempt any distinct political policy, in so far as influencing Congress is concerned. The result of this long time depression of the Presidency has been the increase of tho confidence and claims of Congress. Tho Sonate has naturally magnified its powers and claims more than tho House.

If tho stand taken by Presidont Cloveland for the rights of his offico has the effect of toning up that trust in vigor and assertion and of a little abating the pretension of tho legislative branch, tho country will have reason to be gratified. The Reputation of Ooney Island. The Coney Island property owners are bestirring themselves, none too soon, to correct some of the abuses which have begun to shade the reputation of tho city's Summer resort. Tho sudden and remarkable advance of the beaches in popular favor was duo, not merely to tho provision of ample entertainment and othor improvements, but largely to a determination to make tho place safo and clean. The owners held another meeting yesterday and will soon meet again.

It rests with them chiefly to decide whothor the whole coast, from East to West, shall bo made attractive to respectable people, or whether there must be drawn linos as sharp as thoso which set apart a plague infected district from wholesome regions. A good deal was said yesterday about tho "blowing and tooting of wheezy voiced horns" and the like. Somo of these matters involvo questions of taste and nerves and they include potentialities of a positive nuisance, at least to sensitive persons. But there are worse things than these. Among remedies suggested was tho establishment of a system of high licensos.

It is a question whether its working would bo entirely satisfactory. There aro houses which should not bo tolerated at all, under a large or a small license. What tho Coney Islanders want is effective police regulation of every foot of the sands. projected structure in this city. If the offl.

cials at the Treasury Department are animated by the same spirit of intelligent liberality, in dealing with tho olaims of Brooklyn, that they have exhibited in the case of Rochester, they ought to bo able to oxort a powerful and effec tive influonco when the bill providing for an additional appropriation for the building comes before the House for action. There is as suredly no valid reason why Brooklyn, with a population of 700,000 souls, should be, treated less conBideratoly or generously than Rochester with its total of leBS than 100,000. Indeed, Brooklyn, on every reasonable theory, is justly entitled to equality of opportunity, if not to preference, in the presentation of its appeal for relief from the existing conditions of its facilities for the transaction of the business of the publio through Federal channols. Had the careful investigation pursued by the presont Secretory been made and intelligently actod upon in behalf of Brooklyn, the city would already be provided with ample accommodations for tho Post Office, the United States courts, the Marshal's office and the Collector of Internal Revenue. The conditions and surroundings which now environ and embarrass the Fodoral employes hero and tho consequent annoyancos and inconveniences to which citizens are subjected constitute in themselves a potent and conclusive argument in favor of tho desired addition to our public structures.

The blunder at Rochester supplies a warning of peculiar significance to Brooklyn. It furnishes a lesson that ought to bo borne in mind by every responsible official who, in response to the unmistakable aud urgent force of public sentiment, bends his energies to the duty of giving Brooklyn a Federal building compatible with tho dignity of the community and sufficient for the multiplying needs of its enormous and rapidly increasing population. Dullness of Sharp. Jacob Sharp on Monday was examined by Mi Conkling as counsel for tho Senat committee investigating tho Broadway Railroad scandal. Mr.

Sharp swore that he kept no books to speak of that he drow checks payable only to cash, self or bearer lhathemado memoranda of bills and accounts on little slips of paper and toro tho slips up as soon as the transactions were completed, and that ho had done this in all the business period of his sixty seven years of life. He didn't romom bor for what or to whom he had made payments within two years and within ono year of checks as largo as $150,000 on two occasions and of checks as largo as $25,000, $50, 000 and $75,000 on repeated occasions. While thus testifying to his own apparent imbecility, Mr. Sharp drank copiously out of a bottle which contained milk. Ho is a largo, coarse, cunning man with no education and with abundant capacity to simulate simplicity, innocence and forgetfulness.

Ho moans to swear that he did nothing wrong, and if he did that he has forgotten all about it. So will every one else inculpated by facts or publio suspicion. Tho effect will bo to block inquiry, and to convince tho public that a lot of corruptiouists are concertedly lying wholesale. Tho American people aro ingenious as well aB patient. They will bo likely to find a way of access to Mr.

Sharp's transactions through tho confession or confusion of some of his associates or through tho resentment of some fellows to whom he has not kopt his word. We shall be surprised if tho lid is not taken off and if tho metropoliton public does not continue profoundly apathetic concerning the whole iniquity. Dr. Farley's Case. When tho world is much wiser, and, consequently much older, it will differ from what it is at present in at least one interesting particular.

It will not instantly assume brain destruction as an inseparable accompaniment of mental nlionation and it will have outgrown tho superstition that insanity is a visitation, such as headache or rheumatism is not. It has progressed somewhat since tho Twelfth Century in its views of insanity. A man whose mind is obscured is not necessarily a criminal, whom it is right to chain to tho floor and flog; nor is he even possessed of a devil who will not abandon his unlawful tenancy until a prescribed number of exorcisms have been performed and a duly moasured quantity of holy water has been sprinkled. Nevertheless, he is still a person with a bar sinister on his character, bocause the loss of wit must involve the loss of brain, and loss of brain must be permanent. A man who has once lost his brains must, according to popular superstition, be a marked character.

The public of tho futuro, however, will know that a man may recover from mental aberration, precisely as he may get well of pnoumonia or a fit of indigestion. Many cases of alienation do not involve tho brain, except in a functional way at all. Hunger, blood poisoning, overwork may affect the mind, just as a disordered liver affoots it. Henco the retirement temporarily of Dr. Farley to Flatbush, instead of being attended with mystery or some woird, unoanny accompaniments, is a simple matter.

His nervous system appears to have been unduly taxed for some time past, and ho needs rest and relaxation. Ho is perfectly aware of that fact and has placed himself under treatment. It is probablo that ho will recover, as tho Eagle cordially hopes he will, and be restored to the community to onjoy the good opinion of him that it entertains and that he has so well earned. Hon. John Bigolow, who deolined the of fice of Assistant United States Treasurer, promptly accepts his appointment as a delo gato to inspect tho Panama Canal with M.

Do Lessens. Ho undoubtedly thinks he has chosen wisoly, but if the Panama fever and ague ever get a firm grip on him, good by John. When the Houso of Commons in 1G89 adopted an address to the Icing calling upon him for information as to the counsels and motives by which ho was influenced in tho appointment of the men charged with the conduct of the campaign in Ireland, William assumed all tho responsibility for his executive acts and made reply to the CommonB that it wns not the duty of the Crown to turn informer." President Cleveland makes sub. Btantially the same reply to tho demand of Senator Edmunds and his confederates. Thoy ask for information which they aro not en titled to get.

They summon him to give reasons" in a matter which tho Constitution arid the law leave absolutely to his discretion. It is a blow aimed at the independence of tho Executive. "The President very properly declines to turn informer. Mr. Jacob Sharp is fond of milk.

Hon, Roscoo Conkling, it is reported, was amazed when the witness drew forth bottle of it and. asking tho committee to excuse him, proceeded to slake his thirst. Tho incident is not without its value as a warning to the com munity. It shows that one of the dangerous results of an habitual use of milk is a loss of memory.

These facts constitute tho most Significant feature of the whole outbreak. honest workingmen were satisfied to publicly and peaceably protest; the obstreperous cranks known as Socialists wore tho rioters. Mon who havo a real grievance confidently appeal to tho intelligence and justico of a civilized community.

The hairbrained fanatio, with his fancied grievance, makes war on society from the conviotion that society is at war with all reform.

te3 lOt Threatened Split in the Nationalist Banks, Bifirsrar and Healy Opposing the Candidacy of O'Shea in Galway A Murderer's Con fossion Leads to Fire Arrests Deatli of Lieutenant Hawkins. Dublin, February 0. Nationalist members of Parllamont wore in session horo throughout yesterday. Numerous tolo grams wore exchanged with Sir. Paruell.

Tho Healy Biggar feud with O'Shoa at Galway continues. Mr. O'Shea avers that Mr. Parnell promised to go to Galway to support him. Messrs.

Healy nnd Biggar have arrived at Qalway to support Mr. T.yuoh against Mr. O'Shea, Mr. Par noll'a nominee, in tho Parliamentary contest In that city. Mr.

Healy, in a apoeoh lost night, said that tho Nationalist party had not been consulted In regard to tho nomination of Mr. O'Shea, and that almost ovory member of tho party would loso a hand rathor than support an odious Whig lntrlgulst." Mr. Hoaly's speech is considered by somo porsons as a threat to deposo Mr. Parnoll from tho leadership of tho Irish party. O'SUKA'S CHANCES.

Tho throatenod split in tho Parnellito party which is presaged by Messrs. Hoaly's and Biggar's support of Mr. Lynoh, tho opposition candidate for the Galway seat, against Mr. Parnell's noraineo, Captain W. II.

O'Shea, has become sufficiently sorious to cause Mr. Paruell to take actlvo moasures to maintain hl control in Galway. He startod for the seone of action to day at tho head of an imposing party of lloutononts, inoludlDg Messrs. O'Connor, Sexton. Kolly, Doasy and Campbell.

With such an array of orators and workers in the field there is little doubt that Mr. Parnell will repeat at Galway tho victory ho securod over the recalcitrate Mr. Cal lan at Louth. JuBt before ho started for tho WoBt Mr. Parnell accorded an lntorviow to a correspondent, who Inquired if thoro wero serious grounds for apprehond ing a revolt In tho party.

Mr. Parnoll repliod: "No. I do not myself attach any importance to this Galway incident Tho strength of our position is easily demonstrated. Fifty of tho Nationalist members of Parliament have Just slgnod a strong appoal to tho Galway electors to uphold Captain O'Shea, the rogular candidate. Mr.

Healy's followers on this question numbor but eighteen members. The fact is thoy havo no grievance. If tho party had desired a conference to oonsldor the nomination for Galway I would havo consonted willingly, but it Is too lato In tho day to make this protoxt for revolt But, by being on the ground, I anticipate that I can eoslly smooth over tho throatenod split, restore Mr. Healy to his position in his party and, at tho same timo, secure tho roturn of Captain O'Shoa.

Special to the Eagle. Albany, February 9. Tho bill to give veterans preference In Civil Service examinations, which passed the Senate lost wook, came up last night In Committee of tho Wbolo in tho. Assembly. General Curtis, tho intro ducer of tho measure in tho Lowor House, discussed it at length, stating tho scope of the proposod amendments.

Upon motion of Mr. Howo tho bill was amended by striking out the word "certify'! whorovor it occurs and Inserting tho word "report." Tho original bill read "Thoy (honorably discharged soldiers and sailors) shall bo cortiflod as such by tho commissioners, board or officer authorized to cortify names for appointment," etc. Mr. Howo said that in ordor to mako tho bill harmonious with tho Civil Sorvluo act it was necessary to use "report" instead of "cortify" in tho connection (Aovo quoted. This amendment will necessitate sending tho bill back to tho Sonate.

It will pass tho Assembly. MORTON'S EXCISE MM Mr. Jamos Morton is hero to look after his pet temperance measure, which Assomhlyrnnn Urown nnd Senator Griswold rofusod to touch. Tho bill was introduced last night by request by Assemblyman Huntting, of Suffolk. It Is a bill of thirty live sections, the main featuros of which have already been published in tho Kaolk.

It does away with licenses. It pormits tho sale of liquors under most stringent restrictions, but does not make the puDlic party to tho businoss by revolving a license for tho permit. Mr. Morton has this to say in relation to tho bill: In the interest of tho body politic die traffic must bo no longor protected as an Industry. Tho majority of tomperanco pooplo hato this partnership, by license, in iniquity, as thoy do not bollovo tho Stato should pormit any section of citizens to profit civilly by securing a rovonuo out of tho liquor traulc.

aro tho product of conturios back, when tho immorality of tho traffic was loss conspicuous than now. To day thoy aro a shiold to tho vllost of vices, and pandering to tho odium of almost every conceivable wlokodness. Even philanthropic and Christian institutions clamor at this gateway of blood, annually, tor a charity slice of tho soul destroying piece of silvor. As a political moasuro In tho interest of tho wholo people, the license system must bo abandoned, and we hone that the present Letris lature will bo oqunl to the task we proposo to sot before it in our bill. Its principles will rocolvo tho hoarty support of the people.

If thoro 1b any merit in the liquor traffic whatever it can only be in that portion which doos no harm to the body politic. But It is the harm done wo sook to protect tho people from, aud that harm will be more efToctually withstood and warned off by the proposed bill than by any present statute aCtocting the traffic Wo do maud that tho trado rost upon its own morit, what ovor it may be, and protoct Itself, and beyond that tho groat safeguard must be for the protection of the people. The bill is radioal as a reform measure, liberal enough in its liberalities for all who claim respectability either as Boiler or drinker, Btrlngont in Its requirements as a necessity, Intor oxecutive and perfunctory In its action, and a law in the hands of tho people to be easily enforced should any unfaithful oxeoutlvo bo discovered. 0ITIZEN8' LEAGUE BILLS. Mr.

Hotchklss last night Introduced three bills sent him by tho Citizens' League of Brooklyn. They relate to the County Clerk, Heglater and Sheriff, requiring thom to keep open books at expense of tho county. The bills last yoar required those officials to keep open books at their own expense and also placed them on a salary. Tho salary provision Is not Incorporated In tho bills this yoar. Thoro is not the slightest prospeot of the passage of theBO measures.

Sheriff Farley was ablo to defeat the Sheriffs' bill last Winter, and the Governor vetoed the other two. Aside from Mr. Hotchklss It Is doubtful If any member of tho local delegation will support thoro.

War Aeraiust Disreputable Places InauguratedThe Sea Beach Railroad Hates a Satisfactory Promise High License Suggested as a Remedy. There was another meeting of the property owners of Coney Island at Paul Bauor's Hotel yestorday aftornoon, to consider ways and means to improvo tho condition of West Brighton, aud rid It of its many undesirable features.

There wore presont Mossrs. John Y. McKano, John McMahon, Anthony Warring, V. B. Newton and J.

J. Stryk or, of tho Gravosond Police Board; Frod. Bador, John Dompsoy and Harry Taylor, of tho Excise Board; Messrs. Thomas Ferguson, Garrett Katou and Peter Connors, Trustees of Common Lands; Paul Bauor, Charlos Foltman, Mr. Lawrence, Superintendent of tho Soa Beach Railway; Mr.

Schormor horn, Suporlntendont of the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railway; S. Williamson, Counselors 'Kurth and Smith, and about fifty or sixty othors, all of whom wore personally interested in tho mooting and its results. The meeting was callod to ordor at 3:30 by Supervisor John Y. McKano, who callod for nominations for chairman. Mr.

Garrott Katou was namod but doclinod. Judge Strykor nominated John Y. McKano. He was unanimously oloctod. In accepting tho chair tho Supervisor said: Gentlemen This mooting has boon callod for the purpose of considering what is necosBary to be done for tho improvement of Conoy Island.

During the past two yoars thoro have beou a largo number of little booths, sausago stands, photograph suop3, whirligigs and other small boor shops, which have actod as a groat dotrlment to the welfare of business interests hero. We have talked tho matter over among ourselves a good doal, and havo met here to day to tnkesonio deflnlta action. The action to bo takon horo is not as against any respectable residont of the island, but as against tho class of mon who come down hore with a $10 bill or a $50 bill, run in dobt as far as posalblo, and conduct their places in any way so long as thoy mako monoy. This is what wo want to stop, and this is what we aro hore to day to talk about I shall bo glad to hear from any of tho gentleman present. Mr.

Robert Burckhardt, Inspector of Llconsos, sold: Thoro sooms to havo boon a practico of granting licenses indiscriminately of lato to any one who may have applied. I think tho nuisanco might, for tho most part, bo obviated by tho Exciso Board. I would like to hear from somo of tho gentlemen present. Mr. Paul Bauer said: During the last two years you havo noticod that a groat many peoplo commenced to lot out privileges on certain ground for certain purposes.

Thoy made grave mistakes. The lot prlvllogos to tho meandering boor Jerker, who came down horo without any money and who hung up tho brower for ills stock, and who loft the island at tho ond of tho season a good many dollars ahead, whilo the brewer was a good many dollars out. Laughter. They borrowed monoy to sot up a bar; thoy owod for tho goods thoy had, aud loft in tho Fall with more creditors than thoy had friends. How do they get in hero? That's tho question.

The Soa Beach Railroad Company, to whom a largo tract of valuable land was leased for railroad purposes only, sublet the prlvllogos to them and dorivo a revenue of over a yoar from Just such ono horso shobanga as I spoak of, wherf, according to their charter, they have not right to cent of it. ApplauBe. Then thore is another nuisance, that is the infernal blowing ond tooting of whoozy voiced horns away up in tho cupolas of ton cont musoums that fairly blow respectable pooplo out of thoir hotol windows. Laughter. You needn't laugh; it's a fact.

I myself havo had a full baud of forty musicians that cost mo $1,100 a week at my plaza, and right across tho way wore six blankoty blank Italians who could set a man crazy with thoir dashety dashed horns, and they didn't contribute a cont of liconso olthor. Tho Soa Beach road Is responsible for nine tenths of tho nuisances In Wost Brighton trom the fact that thoy tako the property that has boon awarded to thom for railroad uses into tho market, and barter it for uses detrimental to Conoy Island's welfare. Chairman McKano The trustoes of Common Lands ought to Investigate it, and If tho railroad company has no right to lease thoso lands thoy should be prevonted from doing so. Mr. Bauor Thore la another thing I want to speak about; thoso "dives," whore half a dozen or moro nogroos glvo an allogqd minstrel performance.

I om in favor of overy houso on Coney Island that gives a public concert, vocal or Instrumental, paying a liconso of 1600, big or little. I am more than willing to pay it mysolf, and it will offectually wipe out these "dlvos." Mr. Lawrence, Superintendent of tho Sea Boach Railroad, said It is far from the intention of tho Sea Beach Railroad Company to engage in anything or aid anything that is detrimental to Conoy Island. Wo acknowlodgo that wo mado some mistakes last year, but It is onr intention this yoar not to rout any privileges to undesirable tenants for any consideration whatever. The interests of Conoy Island aro our common Interests.

When Coney Island dies out, tho Sea Beach Railroad will cease to exist. Wo depend upon Coney Island for our support and, therororo, aro heartily willing to act in accord with you In any plan you may soo fit to adopt to improvo It. We will do all wo can to further your efforts. Mr. A.

P. Mann, ono of the ablest lawyers In Now York, Is our president, aud lias solo chargo of leasing rights. Ho exprossos his intention not to lot any privileges that will not tend to elovato tho business Btanding and surroundings of Wost Brighton Boach. We admit that tho old management of tho Soa Boach Road made somo grave errors in letting grounds, but we think you will havo no cause for complaint against the present board of officers. We aro heartily in acaord with you, gentlomon, in your ondoavor to olevato tho wost ond of Coney Island to suoh a position as it should occupy.

Applause. Mr. Charlos Feltman Many of tho gentlomon present horo this afternoon own their property outright, and many of them have mado mistakes In letting privileges to other parties, which they havo heartily regretted. I havo livod hero about as long as any business man In Coney Island, I guess, but matters were coming to such a pass I had about mado up my mind to quit and sell out my businoss and get away from horo. But as you havo at last awakened to a realization of your position, and seem determined to remedy the situation, I'll stay and stick by you as long as I've got a dollar.

I claim that tho railroad companies do not own a foot of ground on Conoy Island. They wero simply granted a charter to uso thoso grounds for railroad purposes only, but, Instead of doing what tholr charter gives them a right to do, thoy have mado capital out of them. Whore is the remedy 1 Tho only remody Is with tho parties who control the rental. If thoy will consent to stop It that will bo the end to It. Not only Is this true of tho railroad grounds, but It is equally true of tho grounds ownod by othor citizens horo who have lot privileges.

Sir. has expressed his willingness to stop those one horso concerns, so far as allowing them on his grounds is conoemed, and I fully concur with htm In tho resolve. As to the railroad companies, let thom bo he'd strictly to iiieircliortors, and thoy will not do any harm. Tio Trustoes of Common Lands of the Towff of Graveaend should compel them to use tho grounds allotted to them In their charters for tho purpose for which thoy were granted, and nothing else. Then let all the mon who own large amounts of proporty hero band together and agroo not to leave tiy prlvllogea to those undesirable per sonagoB, and our troubles aro at an end.

Wo would have no more shoutora or Btreot solicitors to annoy and insult our wlvos and children as thoy pass along tho streots. This latter should bo mado punishable by fine and imprisonment. Wo do not fear honost, healthful competition, but thoso good for nothing brigands who come horo without a cent and go away with a boot full oi money are the men who ruin enterprise In Conoy iBland. Mr. Goorgo Skinner, who was hidden behind a crowd, managed to mako himself heard noxt.

He is a proporty ownor, and concurred in tho views ex prossod by the preceding spoakors. Mr.T.W. Dixon, of tho Ocean Park Hotol, followed in substantially the samo vein. Mr. Bauer I think the Police Commissioners should havo the power to license auy respoctablo, well conducted place If they receive a reasonable liconso feo.

Chairman McKano If you folks aro willing to pay $n00 I don't Doe why the Board shouldn't tako It iu. Laughter. Mr. Bauor Would that catoh Mr. Culver with his carousols 7 Chairman McKane I don't know; Mr.

Culver Is pretty sloek, and usually has a way of slipping out of such things. Mr. Bauer Then ho can mako all tho blankoty blank noiso ho wants to 7 Chairman McKane I eivo It up. Mr. A.

It. Samuels I am a property ownor and am in favor of tho $500 liconso for ovory concert, minstrel show, acrobatic or museum performance. I am not iu favor of licensing low places. Mr. Foltman Mr.

Lawrence, of tho Sea B4uh, has said that tho grounds of that company would bo lot for reputable purposes only. Will tho chairman ask him, if he pleases, what thoso purposes aro? Mr. Lawrence Of my own knowledge I am unable to Btato specifically, as Mr. Mann has entire chargo of tho renting. Mr.

Foltman I move that a committee of three bo appointed by tho Chair to confor with tho Trustees of Common Lands to ascertain what tho legal rights of tho railroad company to that ground aro. Tho motion was carried. Mossrs. Foltman, Bauer and Abbott were appointed as such committee. Judgo Warring said that tho gontlemon present could fool assured of tho hearty co oporatlon of all tho mem bora of tho various town boards, in any movement tending toward the moral or businoss advancomont of tho West End.

Mr. Samuels askod tho Chair to inquire whothor or not the Park Commissioners had any right to lease tho ground on Ocoan Concourse, occupied by the Aquarium Museum, to the presont occupants. Tho Chair gavo in answer tho opinion of a loading Brooklyn attorney that as the Mayor appointed the Park Commissioners and as he (tho Mayor) was not voted for by any one outsido tho city limits, henco thoy had not that right Ho promised to invostigato It, howovor. Mr. Thomas Forguson, of tho Trustees of Common Lauds, promised the support of his Board to tho mooting, as did also Mr.

F. G. Bader, of the Excise Board. Dr. Vau Cleaf spoko of a malaria brooding marsh of about thirty acres In area, lying north and west of tho concourse, concerning which ho had spokon to tho Park Commissioners.

Mr. Feltman broached tho sausago stand nuisance, condemning it. He moved that all property owners presont pledge themBOlves not to lot any suoh privileges to any ono. Carried. Mr.

Wvno said that the simon pure Conoy Island sausage was made rem decayod moat and diseased llvor from Wallabout Market, and that It was un healthy. Health commissioner van uioai agroeu with him, as to the latter statemont The noxt subject discusBed was that of the shout galleries, Btriklng machines, etc Mr. Foltman moved that tho Polico Board be requested to abolish thom. Carried. Mr.

Bauor There ia ono more nuisance. Mr. Chairman. Last Summer any one who could got four whools and an old wagon box could got a li cense to carry passongers. Why, omo of the tropB they ran wore actually filthy.

Thoy were tho worBt I ever saw. Thoy ought to bo remedied also. Inspector of Llconsos, Mr. Burckhardt, Bald ho would soo to It that nono but first class vehicles could getUconsos next Summer. The meeting adjourned to moot at 2:30 P.

London yesterday went through an experience which has not boon altogether withheld from us, but which is rather identified with European countries than with our own.

A characteristic Loudon mob met in a great public square, listened to harangues made by irresponsible agitators, gave way to a certain nmouut of savugory, got drunk and went home without doing much more damago than wrecking stores, pillaging cellars, Smashing windows and sacking gin palaces, us tho London liquor saloons aro called. Tho fact that very few people were hurt, and these principally persons entirely out of sympathy with any movement looking to tho benefit of the masses, is striking. When 60,000 persons, tho most conservative of whom are rendered reckless by famine, moot to listen to speeches especially framed to excite thom to violence, and do no further damage than the confiscation of rum and the stojiing of windows, thoy cannot bo said to have proceeded to any very shocking extremities. Our own riots in New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati nnd Chicago have boon followed by much more serious damage. There is no doubt that a London mob deserves its reputation for ferocity and brutality, and is actually the worst in the world.

A large percentage of yesterday's gathering represented tho vory scum of oarth's criminality, gathered from every quarter of the globe another element represented tho fiery discontent of tho European Socialist a person practically unknown here, and tho remainder consisted of tho alley and court population one encounters in Dickens' stories, and a strong contingent of tho industrial masses, rendered more or less desperate by the hard timos and the apparent hopelessness of tho future. That such a mass of human boings should huvo boon turned loose in tho heart of London without doing much damage is little short of wonderful. Its moderation speaking, of course, comparatively may bo as scribed to wo causes. Ono of thoso was tho moderation of the police force which, after one unwise demonstration permitted the principal speaker to have his say the other cause was the prevalence of tho national characteristic. Tho Englishman, no matter of what grade of intelligence or caste, is not easily moved by words.

If he throws half a brick, according to time honored custom, he does it less as a tribute to tho orator than as a matter of instinct. It is safe to say that such a mob in Paris, nftor listening to characteristic French Communist, would have sacked the city. There is a strong conservative force even in stolidity and surly resentment. That this is but the beginning of trouble, however, is only too probable. When an extremist agitator like Burns can command an audience of such dimensions, composod as it must be to a very large extent of workingmen, there must be a substantial grievance to give him a hearing.

No people in tho world are less ready to listen to high flown social theorios than the practical sons of Cockaigne. And that such a griovanco does exist is beyond a doubt. The fact is that the depression in trade which has prevailed in this country fiinco 18S0 and reached a climax two years ago, severe as it has been, is greatly excooded by that of Great Britain. Our vast agricultural interests have stood between us nnd tho extreme of suffering. British agriculture is a thing of tho past.

Land monopoly has contributed enormously to the extinction of the fanning eloment a long succession of bad seasons has assisted in disoouraging agriculture, and the subsistence of tho laboring masses has been practically in the factories. Tho stagnation of business throughout the civilized world, whatever may be its origin, has told, of course, upon tho manufacturing people of the world. Protectivo tariffs, Without in any way benefiting tho countries which have adopted them, have closed tho markets to British trade. Tho free interchango of commodities has been interrupted and as a consequence groat distress has fallen upon tho industries of England. Competition, too, is boginning to tell, though, thanks to our own preposterous system of duties we aro not permitted to compete on ovon terms.

Hun dre'ds of thousands of British mechanics, then, are idle; agriculture offers no alternative field of activity. It is not wonderful, therefore, that tho sufferers, growing reckless, should display their Btrongth in such a demonstration nnd threaten to renew thoBO most dangerous of all social outbreaks, bread riotB. Tho fact that jewelry stores and gin palaces wore gutted is not pleasant to think of, but tho suggestion of far worse to come is of much groater consequence. The arrest and detontion of tho leaders may, if followod up by vigorous measures, prevent nn immediate outbreak, but unless Borne radical action is taken to remove the cause British statesmen will have reason to foel uneasy and anticipate events compared with which yosterday's riot was but an incident. It is impossible for any thoughtful observer to dissociate the suffering in England and tho demonstrations and throats of tho mob from tho groat political problem that Mr! Gladstone haB undertaken to solve.

Englishmen have discovered a great deal in the past ten years The Irish agitation against landlordism has opened English eyes to the fact that tho soil has been monopolized by a favored few on both sides of St. George's Channol, and the cure for tho evils in both islands must bo identical. Tho Collings amendment which toppled the Salisbury Ministry was a Btep in the way of laud reform, and tho split between Mr. Gladstone and tho Whigs has no other significance than a rooted determination on tho part of the Premier to break up the present system by mcaiiB of which twenty thousand men have secured all the land on which thirty five million live. Socialist Burns, tho orator of tho Trafalgar Square gathering, did not go far astray when ho spoke tho authors of tho present distressin England and the last Whig Parliament in the Bame breath.

Laud reform throughout tho "kingdom has boen vaguely foreshadowed in speeches from tho throne it has assumed a tangible shapa in Scotland and Ireland, nnd yesterday's mob in Londonhas given it sudden push that has brought it oleariy before tho publio eye. Tho Aldermen. The Aldermon, at their session yesterday, promptly granted the permission requestod by tho Bridge Trustees to extend tho railroad platform across High street to the property rocently acqmred for additional switching nnd storago room for tho ears. This action will enable tho Trustoes to proceod without further delay to tho completion of tho projected enlargement of tho terminal facilities on the Brooklyn side. By tho time tho Now York extension is fiuishod, tho necessary arrangements to accommodate tho increased traffic at tho terminus in this city ought to bo loade, and will bo if the officials In charge proceed iw expeditiously as they have in disposing of other features of the work in hand.

Tho City of Rochester, in this Stato, is suf fering an experience with its Federal building which ought to convey a timely warning to the authorities who at Washington aro dealing with tho appropriation for a corresponding struc lure in Brooklyn. From a communication on tho subject of the Secretary of tho Treasury to the chairman of the sub Committee on Publio Buildings and Grounds of tho House of Representatives it ap pears that Congress in 1882 appropriated $300,000 for tho site and construction of the Rochester edifice. Of this sum $75,630.43 was paid for the ground, leaving $224,370 for construction. Pursuant to arrangements made to confine the total cost within the balance of the appropriation the work was begun. The building is now tar advanced, but, as Secretary Manning shows, when completed it will not give one half the space for the post office which the old structure nt present in use affords for that purpose.

As the existing building iB wholly inadequate to tho demands of the service the necessity for enlarged quarters is imperative. Accordingly, an additional appropriation of $300,000 has been asked for. By tho expenditure of the increased amount the Supervising Architect iB confident that the plans can be modified and quarters of suitable proportions and area provided. But to accomplish this desirable result the outer walls of the now building, now standing two stories high, will havo to bo taken down and a fresh scheme of construction begun undor an adjustment of contracts made in circumBtances necessarily disadvantageous to the Government. Tho materials of tho walls torn down can bo used again to some extent, yet, as the Secretary says, the change in the plans and their execution will involvo Inrgo additional outlay.

Commenting on tho nocessM'y ohanges Mr. Manning deoides that it is better to moke thom than to complete a building which, when com pleted, would be useless for the prinoipol businoss of tho Government at Rochester. In conclusion, he seeks to emphnsizo what ho fittingly characterizes as the un wisdom of enacting laws directing the con struction of publio buildings without careful investigation to loam exactly what the presout and prospective needs of the Government may bo as to a building at any particular place." Investigations of this kind, he points out, oan always bo made by tho Executive Department in a short timo and a Bmall expense if CongreBB so desires and "would result in eoononiy of expenditure and more satisfactory publio buildings than will be tho case if the present system is con tinued."
