One is that the community is composed of homo loving, self respecting, industrious and self reliant men and women, whose inclinations and surroundings tend to right living. The other is that tho authorities have displayed com meudablo vigilance in compelling the criminal classes to give Brooklyn a wide berth.

Until society is regenerated and the millennium fully inaugurated, this city will not bo exempt from the ills to which humanity is heir but it is so far in advance of its urban contemporaries that its claims to superiority are fully justified by facts. Under existing circumstances Brooklyaites ought to feel proud instead of ashamed of the beautiful municipality in which they have the good fortune to dwell. Wiiiit Is it Wind Jammer By a "Veteran Democrat" who recently entertained our readers with some observations on the causes of Democratic defeat in the re I can say that. I am to day a better Democrat than I was last Tuesday and every one here, I am satisfied, referring to himself, can echo my sentiments." Two other office holders followed Mr. Ennis.

One, Mr. Mathis, who draws a snug salary as Assistant Corporation Counsel, reminded his hearers that "they must not stand idle with their hands in their pockets." There was no room for them, he felt, to emulate The Sons of Itest Of Lcino Hill Who never workod And never will. On the contrary, it was time to "rally." This," continued Mr. Mathis, referring to the district in which he spoke, "ought to be a Democratic ward. We have here a Democratic commissioner and a Democratic alderman.

They ought to make us a Democratic ward." Mr. James Laugau, an employe of the City Works Department, agreed with Mr. Mathis, and incidentally remarked that the Democrats hud lost their voters by Republican corruption. Down in the Fifth Ward, Police Justice Walsh, who presided over the regular association, maintained a masterly uon committal attitude. He was apparently satisfied becauso "the association was never in a more prosperous condition." Unlike their neighbors, however, the Independent Democrats were quite outspoken.

At the gathering of the Central Democratic Association in the Twenty fifth Ward, Messrs. O'Hara, Hipp and Tibbals, none of whom holds an office, criticized the Democratic management for defeating the party and clamored for greateivliberality in leadership. This, after all, we think is the sensible view of the matter. Whether it can be driven into the heads of the office holders is another question. A little less "pernicious activity" on their part might help the Democracy and induce self sustaining party men to come to the front.

ture showed consummate easo anil 'grace, and his head and neck were beautiful and proudly carried. A gleam of gray showed in his carefully blushed hair as it.danecd in tho light, but his facowas not wrinkledand his eyes wore (steadfast and flashing. It was a singularly dignified, detormined and; intelligent face, and it lit up with a very Bunny' smile when some friends hailed him, A small blondo moustache added to his "ideal veter an soldier" appearance Hia figure was powerful, but so finely modeled vthat it might havo served a groat painter or sculptor in search of an Apollo; the shonldess woro square, the chest deep, tapering from shoulders to hips, tho arms wore woll rounded and finely proportioned and tho legs were perfection. Donovan made a very natty figure when stripped, as pretty as the sergeant major of a crack regiment. Ho wore only white duck knee breeches, red stockings and black fighting shoes.

Somebody hailed him as ho sat in his chair being rubbed down by Denny Butler and Tom Lees, and ho leaned for ward at tho group of Now York Athletic Club men in the front seats and said, with a smile: "I'm fighting for the old timers to night." Donovan weighed 14!) pounds, is 41 years of; age and 5 feet 8 inches in hoight against Dcmp sey's 34 years, 5 feet 8 inches aud 148 pounds. Dempsey was hailed with a groat cheer when ho camo on. His pale, thoughtful face was in direct contrast with tho eager, flashing expression of the veteran. Dempsey sat like a graven imago while his seconds were rubbing him down. His faeo thin that men expect to sco his body thin too, and the perfect form that comes to view when tho overcoat is lifted from tho shoulders of the invinciblo middlo weight is always in tho nature of a surprise.

So pretty and light and strong and agile and full of firo both men looked that tho eyes "of tho spectators wandered from one to the other unable to toll which looked the better man. Donovan was tho embodiment of fire and high spirit and aggressiveness and Dempsey of quietness, modesty and invincible courage. Ho woro his famous blue trunks and his old handkerchief, which has been around his waist in all his forty five victories. Jack's skin waB pink with hard rubbing and Donovan's white, but both men were down to their proper weights. Dempsey employed his time in his corner breath ing "from tho hips" his respirations wei'o so deep.

Bound 1 Tho roferoe, Billy O'Brien, called time, and tho fighters jumped into the center of tho twentv four foot ring and began to revolve round each other, each keen of sight as a lynx and watching for the faintest symptom ot an opening. Donovan let go quickly at the stomach. Dempsey hopped back, smiling, but Donovan hopped after him with equal uguity, and landed a good one on Jack's jaw. Jack's smite vauished, and he went at Donovan savagely, to teach him his place. Ho hit him two heavy cuffs, left and right, on tho ear and none and a brushing nnnor cut undur the chin.

Donovan stood the storm like an ocean steamer and fought back with a vigor that pru Tor l. fi nm iml'lllllrr nnv crrnmid Oil llllll. He countered on Dempsey's stomach and chest and forehead in a way that ought to convince youngsters forever not to trifle with their uncles. Tho crowd howled with delight. Donovan was doing grandly.

A clinch ensued, which ended at the referee's call, and tho catlike crouching and prowling for an opening recommenced. Donovan was very eager and plucky and bent on getting to close quarters. Dompscy was cool and dinning and full of tricks and ambushes. He. measured Donovan very carefully, drew him up close and suddenly lot his left go, it was a lightning blow.

Dempsey could not have dodged it himself and Donovan got it square in the mouth. Dempsey smiled. Donovan bristled up like an angry turkey gobbler and came at Dempsey with the skill, calculation and force of the grand veteran gladiator he is. Both landed heavily on the neck and cross countered on the stomach aud chest. Dempsey received pne on tho nose aud gave Donovan's mouth another shake up.

They clinched again for a moment and Dempsey gave Donovan another smash in the mouth with his left fist that was heard all over the hall. The partisans of both were shouting like mad for their men. Dempsey's foot slipped and lie turned his back and ran away to recover himself This tactic has been employed everywhere else, but it would not go down with Donovan. He was af ter Jack immediately, sticking to him, as close to him as a bull dog to a bull at a baiting match. Dcinpsny had to face him and tight savagely to keep the fiery veteran from smothering him in a shower ot blows.

Dempsey and Donovan both miSHed up percuts aud swinging right banders. The stopping and getting away was lightning work. Jiacli got in on the ear heavily, and they came together for fiorco infighting when Ed Flummcr called Bound Donovan led again but missed. Dempsey hit him an awful one on the mouth and another on the neck with no fair returns. Some of Dempsey's partisans shouted "Donovan's done." They were never moro mistaken their lives.

It was a case of the more you poke 'nil the more 'e growls," for Donovan flared under the blows like angry Jove prepared to launch a thunderbolt, and was more impetuous than ever in assault. Donovan planted a heavy right bander on Dempsey's neck and swung at him again. Dempsey ducked and ran. Donovan was after him like a tiger and gave him three smashes in tho neck and body. Dempsey fought him off and turned his head to cough and Donovan assisted him with a resounding smash on the mouth anil another on the neck.

Dempsey got mad and growled, crouching round Donovan like an Indian warrior approaching a sleeping enemy. Housed his famous left and got homo two beauties from long range on the mouth and eye without return, llus brought them to close quarters with tierce infighting in the middlo of ihe ring, winch the call of time stopped. Bound Dompseyled at face and body. Dono van cross countered at tne nectc ana uppurcut. jiu blows beautifully stopped.

Both got homo on tho neck and stomach. Dempsey gave JJonovan a puc driving smash on the nose, another behind tho ear and another on the mouth, three beauties, with no return. He ducked Donovan's counters. The crowd expected to see the old man rattled but he is not built that way. It made him a little more careful and less aggressive, but not one whit less fierce and determined, and certainly not one bit afraid of the man in front of him.

Ho did some figuring aud landed on Dempsey's mouth. Dempsey hit him hard iu tho uoso and mouth. Hound 4 Donovan led but failed to land. Jack rushed at him aud hit hiin left and right. Donovan ducked and run away, and Jack chased him, punching his body and neck and head.

Donovan dodged him and straightened into position again with flaring face and swelling chest. Jack landed l.iu mva Tlrinnvnii rrnt fivn Kolid ones in Demn sev's mouth, and Dempsey hit him iu the stomach and chased him around the ring? He rallied and fought Jack into bin corner.

Til another clinch Doil" ovan got a strangle hold on Jack's neck and Dempscv angrilv asked.

"What arc you doing "Nothing wrong," said Donovan. Donovan hit Dempscv heavily on the shoulder. A dozen blows were exchanged, but none got in effectively, both men were so wonderfully quioic and clover. Jon ii.nu r.vnuivrt llumtiMP V. llniuirl riTlimnvmi lt rl.

Demp scv got homo on the mouth and nose, the latter a regular pile driver, so clean and heavy that all the house shouted "Oh." Dempsey backed into his corner again, from which ho fought Donovan clear across the ring.

There were clutches by both ami sparring llimnvtiii rmt, ill two Trior! blows 111 the IlCL'k Tni.lt lii'f Mm iii tin iiinuHi til ice verv hard. Donovan saw a drop of blood on Dempsey's nose and claimed first blood. Tho crowd laughed, Dempscv smiled savagely and flic referee paid no attention to the claim. Dempsey drew back, drawing Donovan on. and gave him a clean smash in the mouth that would have caved the face of an ordinary man.

It knocked Donovan nwav back and made him sniff to prevent the lloivof blood from his nose. He came on to tin; attack fiorv. lively and wary as ever, though, and fierce infighting, with both men holding their ground, was going on at the call of tunc. Hound 0 "Now Jack will finish Mike," said some of the sports. "Now Mike will finish Jack," said others.

Dempsey used his left on Donovan's mouth, a olid blow. Donovan clouted him the neck. Dempscv hil him hard in the jaw and fierce exchanges followed, Donovan's neck and eve and mouth catching it and Dempsey getting his ear and stomach saluted pretty warmly. Tliev stood up in the middle ot the ring and rained blows like lightning on each other. It was give and take, the very heaviest kind of play.

Donovan was not weakening a lilt, and the show was improving as it went along. Dempsey did a little studying and then hit Donovan a terrible clip on the eye. It staggered Mike, but acted on him as a poke from a pole does on a wasp's nest it made things lively for the person who did the poking. Donovan's onset was like a cavalry charge; he used both hands to cull the unruly youngster in front off him. Dempsey f'irud both barrels at him aud kept on firing, while the crowd howled to see the two fighters stand toe to, toe and give and take the hardest kind ot punishment.

Both were at it hard when time was called and the men were separated. Both were tairly panting for more fight. The referee proclaimed a draw, and the decision was undoubtedly a fair one. The partisans of each man cheered and howled and claimed a victory. Donovan rait to the front and shook the hundreds of hands held up to him.

Dempsey was evidently disappointed. He had done a little the better work, but he had not bested Donovan to any very perceptible extent. Tho mob tumbled out of the hall in a state of ecstasy. I.VJI KEI) II A FAL1ASU III YET. The Standard Oil Company's big tank steamship, the ilalis, which was injured in the recent oil fire in William ibm gli, is having her sides newly plated at the Central Pier, Atlantic Basin.

This morning a bystander was struck by ono of the rivets and received a bad cut on the face. The injury was dressed on board the ship and the man, whose name could not be ascertained, left for home. Immediately afterward a watchman was stationed on the pier to prevent further accidents. FIHEJIEX ON TRIAL.

This amount is unusually laflgc for one county, and is only half the amount paid as fees, the remainder being kept by the notaries to whom tho fe03 are paid. CHOUGH WASHINGTON SHOT BY A XLUSE.

Louisvilijj, November 1 5. Georgo Washington, an insane inmate of the almshouse, was shot dead this morning by William Garr, a nurse. Washington had been regarded as liarmless bnt suddenly became violent, endangering the life of Garr and others. Tho ehootiutr is considered to have been in eU (le lens 0 pecinlly on tho part of unskilled workmen whose places can be easily filled, is the sheerest folly. The whole history of strikes shows that the men who are the greatest kickers are generally those who are to go to work again on the same vterins, after they have learned what it is td'be 'out in the cold.

Conceding, however, in tho present undesirable condition of affairs, that some sort of compromise should be reached, what is best to be done Why not adopt the course of the Brooklyn City Railroad company, which has had no trouble with its hands for many months That company makes an annual agreement by which it is provided that no driver or conductor shall be discharged without adequate cause, 'left to the decision of impartial judges, and the employes on the other hand agree not to tie up the road except on two weeks' notice. This plan has been found to work well, and at flu end of the present year the agreement or contract will prouauiy be renewed. A distressing feature of the situation is that in the contentions arising from conflicting interests, tho public has to be content to bo ignored. A general street car strike would demoralize the whole business and social life of the city, and yet there is no guarantee that it may not occur at any moment. It is high time that some method was devised of settling differences without confusing traffic.

Even if the companies and their employes are not themselves able to come to terms, that is no reason why the highways of travel should be closed to those who are in no Wise party to the quarrel aud who are completely dependent on the uninterrupted continuance of transportation facilities. The whole subject, we think, is well worthy of more serious legislative consideration than it has thus far received. The Fatal Influence of Ilossisin. Ex Park Commissioner Harteau in an interview, the report of which appears elsewhere, submits 'some very timely reflections suggested by the result of tho recent election in Kings County. He appears to think that the reduction of the Democratic vote was due in a great measure to Democratic mismanagement and his remedy is, not to seek out any new plan, but to return to the old one.

For the last quarter of a century he has noted the effect of centering the nomination of candidates and the control of elections in the hands of a political boss, aud his conclusion is that a system which thus takes from the masses of the party the rights and privileges of free men tends inevitably to the and disintegration of that party. In the earlier days of Brooklyn it was the practice of Democrats to assemble in their different wards aud select delegates to the nominatinc conventions. These meetings were in tho best sense popular ones abso lutely independent of the coercive forces that now make a mockery of our primaries. Ihe best citizens attended and truly representative men were chosen. So jealous, indeed, were these sterling old Democrats of their rights that even after the conventions had finished their deliberations aud made their choice of candidates, their action was not final until a mass meeting of the party had been held aud sanctioned it.

Mr. Harteau relates that the obligation of every Democrat to support a ticket thus decided on was so strictly observed, that a canvass made in the district where he resided a few days before the elec tion differed by but one from the vote actually cast. The corrupt and fatal methods of bossism are denounced by him in terms of honest in dignation. He declares that the example set by the present class of leaders is undermining the foundations of the great Democratic party. It produces lukewarmness in the ranks of men who are not office holders and turns away in disgust the young men who under different auspices would be glad to link their political fortunes with those of the Democracy.

It is absolutely essential that the will of the masses of the party should be permitted free and untrammeled expression. That is the first condition of future success. The methods of party management must be so changed as to secure it. Until that is done we shall continue to reap the harvest of defeat. The desire for public preferment is an honorable ambition, but it is a hopeless ambition among those who would put it to the best use, so long as a boss' indorsement is essential to its gratification, or a boss' power is sufficient to dictate the beneficiaries of the party's favor.

Wlien to Find Him. Upon some of our Republican contemporaries Governor Hill acts as a nightmare. While he is indulging in a little needed recreation at Fortress Monroe tho esteemed Tribune endeavors to invest his recent movements with ijrofound mystery. Our vigilant contemporary represents the Governor as burying himself in the secluded recesses of the Hoffman House. He is, according to its statements, as hard to trap as a Whitechapel ripper." Whether the stories of Governor Hill's recent movements are exaggerated or not, there is a single point on which neither the Tribune, nor any other Republican organ need entertain any misgivings.

On one day of tho year the Republicans are suro to find him. That day is election day. When a Republican opponent is to be beaten he is on hand every time. If any doubt exists in the Republican mind of the truth of the foregoing assertion abundant Republican testimony can be found to dispel it. Mr.

B. Piatt Carpenter would be an invaluable witness to the fact. The Hon. Ira Davenport could prove it by the book of experience. The Hon.

Warner Miller would be no mean authority on tho subject. is nothing spectral about the Governor when it conies to the blows of actual political war fare. I am a Democrat," says the Governor To which he might add that he is a political corker." It appears from official records that the law in relation to arrears continues to work well. Tho amount of uncollected taxes of 1887 as turned over by the Collector to tho Registrar is $1,075,087. The total levy for that year was $10,633,808.27, so that tho percentage unpaid was 10.11.

In 188G it was 10.49. The variance is as likely to run in the opposite direction this year. The small proportion of default shows that tho effect of the law has been not merely to enable the city to get what was owing to it, but also to induce people to pay their taxes promptly. The Hon. Joseph Aspinall, of the Eleventh Kings District, is reported as an aspirant for the Assembly Speakership.

The ambition is pardonable. Mr. Aspinall is a young gentle man of ability, character and reputable asso ciations. He has already served creditably one term at Albany. The district which he represents is unsurpassed in intelligence wealth and population by any in the Com monwealth.

At the recent election it polled more than 25,000 votes. This constituency has already furnished one legislative Speak er in the person of the Hon. Alfred C. Cliapin. While Mr.

Aspinall would make a good Speaker his selection next year is Imrdl amoncr the remote possibilities. Either Mr. Cole or General Husted, unless indica tions are at fault, will be called upon to wield the gavel. If neither should be chosen, Mr. Saxton.

of Wayne; Mr. Ainesworth, of Oswe lio, or General Bafcheller, of Saratoga, would probably take precedence over so compare tively youthful a member as Mr. Aspinall Nevertheless, tho candidacy is worthy of re spectful attention, and the Republicans of Kings County are justified in claiming larger recognition than thov have received in the State relations of their party. One of the very first official acts of General Harrison 's grandfather after his inauguration was to roclaim the doctrine of Civil Service Reform.

The Republican plurality in Kansas is now es timated at sw.000. Mr. Wanamnker, it is thought, will go into the Cabinet from Pennsylvania. Governor Melette, of Dakota, is to confer with President elect Harrison with reference to the admission of the territory. The Vermont House of voted down a proposition to give women the right ot suffrage.

A President that has the characteristics of Mr. Harrison 'is likely to prove embarrassing to tho politicians. While he will undoubtedly seek to epav politicians like Quay ami riatt, the oouDt may be expressed if ho will call the strongest Ite publieans into his Cabinet. If they were given the direction of important departments Mr. Har rison would be dwarfed.

His vanity is more lilcc lv to cause him to select small men for the great departments in order that he may slime. AU who know him agree that aristocracy, pride of ancestry and vanity are his dominating characteristics. These qualities will be exercised probably in the Holeetion of a Cabinet of Mr. Harrison's own choice, the members whereof will be possessed of genealogical records aud wlio will be apt to make themselves conspicuous at the President's expense. Trai The Louis Ri'P'Oilie (Dem.) is in crror ivhen it says that "the predictions that David li Hut will be the nominee of the Democratic party in 1 come entirely from Republican sources." We would direct its attention to tho statement of the BitooKLVN Eaolk, one of the ablest and most influential Democratic journals in this State.

On Thursday, November 8, two days after the elec tion, the Eaole said: "Any Western Democrat who is to be nominated in 1 Si): for President will have to furnish stronger, longer and better proofs of his ability to carry New York State than Governor Hill has clone.

Boston Adeer Ciser. If Congress adjourns in March without reducing the revenues it will probably be necessary for the Treasury to repeat this year's operations the purchase of $100,000,000 of bonds between March and December. Whether this could be accomplished would be a matter of such doubt that financial agitation and apprehension at sonic periods of the year would be inevitable.

Present indications of an abundant supply of bonds should not betray our law makers into such a dangerous blunder. AVw York Commercial Mtlleltn. C0.NTE5IP0RAUY Hl'MOR.

M. Beckwitirand Corporal J. V. Block, Committee, and to My Comrades and Friends or the Second Company second onv in name) My Deau Comrades In reply to the request of your committee, conveying the expression of the unanimous wish of tho company, that I should withdraw my resignation an captain of the "Dear Old Second," I have the honor to state, with feelings of the deepest regref, that it will be impossible for mo to comply with your desires in tins matter. 'Permit mo to say, that of all the honors conferred upon mo by the Second Company (and they nave been many) there has been none ot which I am moro proud than this request, to be elected by a company casting at the time (Juno 5, 1878) less than votes, and to be requested I inav bo pardoned if I allude incidentally to the record of the company, covering, more especially the past ten years; for the previous records von arc referred tho nimphle.t published last Winter.

Iu the ten years last past we have beaten every record made in the National Guard tor attendance at parades, drills, in camp anil at Creedmoor md in number of Stato marksmen (this vear 113). For the third season in succession we stand first in the State, in rifle, practice. We have won the O'Donohue trophy both times it has been shot for (and to that trophy is largely due our success in the State). We have in tho company room nine trophies, and as wo have again won first place iu the brigade for Creed moor practice we will soon have another. Surely this is something to bo proud of.

Upon yon, tho younger members, is imposed tho responsibility of keeping this groat company up to its past higji standard and of exceeding it if possible, and it is possible. To our beloved first lieutenant, to our devote second lieutenant, to onr faithful first sergeant, to onr diligent and respected quartermaster sergeant and to our honored, earnest and active sergeants and corporals, also to every private, loyal and true as they are, the thanks of the commandant are warmly extended. The record of tho company is unsurpassed, and it stands to day in tho front rank of the military organizations of the world. This is not duo to one man, and could not have been accomplished without the faithful and hearty co operation and assistance given to the commandant by almost every member of the company. Let me earnestly bespeak for my successor the same spirit of loyalty to him that you have shown to me.

For tho generous support you have given me, for the evidences of personol regard shown manv wavs, for your kind consideration on every occasion," whether of duty or pleasure, accept my heartfelt thanks. Finally, wishing you individually and collectively, as soldiers and as men. long life and prosperity, permit mo to close with those tender words of tiny Tim, "God bless us, every one." I am, sincerely and faithfully, your friend and captain, Humty stkki.k. COLD WATER FOR REPUBLICANS Who Occupied Mrs. Moore's Newly Painted Democratic Stoop.

Mrs. Mary Moore, who lives at lOlSchcrmer horn street, is a Democrat of the most pro nounced type, and when she learned last Monday Hint tlm victorious Republican hosts were to pass her house that evening, she made up her mind that no followers of Harrison and Morton should witness the parade from her stoop, that is if bIio onlrl beln it. Followmg out this determination she had tho Btoop painted all over and caused a rope to bo stretched across the front or it. Moreover, she displayed iu conspicuous places cards bearing the word "Paint." But of all these things the ltepuDlican sympa thizers made no account. The stoop was good vantage ground and when the procession turned into Schermerhorn street it was promptly occupied by a dozen people, half of whom wero women.

Mrs. Moore, who was stationed at an nnner indow. told the intruders in no uncertain tones that they were not wanted, but they simply lunched and kent on waving their handkerchiefs. Then Mrs. Moore resorted to measures much in vogno among defenders of walled cities in an cient times, but instead of treating nor enemies to a shower bath of molten lead she sprinkled them liberally with ice water.

Amnim those whose enthusiasm was thus cooled were Eliza Wesley, colored, of lis High street, and Mao McBcynolds, of 430 Hudson avenue. These two young women felt that they had re ceived an insult which could not bo wiped out except by tho aid of the law, and so they repaired to Judge Walsh's Court, where they made separate charges of assault against Mrs. Moore. The case was called this morning but as tho defendant was not ready to go on an adjournment was taken until the a 4th. THE OttPnAN ASYLUM FAIR.

A necply r.aid Plot Attended With Complete Success. Something was said in tho Eagle yesterday concerning the Orphan Asylum fair now in progress in the Academy of Music. What purported to be a list of the tables and of the ladies in charge of them was given, but as a matter of fact there wore a few omissions. Under any circumstances this would bo to some extent unaccountable, but when it became apparent that the cako tabic had been ignorcd.tho oyster tablo overlooked, the lemonade fountain honored with no attention.the ice cteam tablo given no attention, the supper table awarded no recognition and even tho Floor Committee left in obscurity, the mystery was, of course, intensified. There are reasons for believing that all this finds its origin in a deeply laid plot to procure separate aud independent prominence, and the success of the conspiracy is insured by the publication of tho following: Ovster Table Mrs.

How the Only Dovovan Fought Invincible Dempsey. No Innocuous Desuetude About the Old Man Ho Bristled Up Fiercer Than Ever Each Time Ho. Was 'Hit A Grand and Bavnge Glove Fiffht. All over New York and Brooklyn to day in saloons and clubs and railroads and stores and exchanges and business marts, andevon'in tho severely intellectual precincts of the City Hall and Court House, there is one paramount topic "of conversation, one burning question provocative of argument and impossible of settlement. "Did Donovan whip Dempsey, or did Dempsey whip Donovan The male population of tho two cit ies are about equally divided on this question, which arises ont of the six round dove fight that took place in the Palace Rink, on Grand street, last night, whero men came in the nssnranco of seeing Dempsey punch holes in Donovan, while 500 were present in the hope of seeing Mike get the best of the invincible Nonpareil.

Neither thing happened, yet the spectators were by no means disappointed. If'was not a contest between a sheep and a butcher, as some sports said it would be, neither did youth demonstrate that it "must be served," as others said would happen, but the prettiest fight of tho kind ever seen took place. It went ahead of tho Dempsey McC'affi ey fight, and that boat all before it. Previous to the great event, which began at 11:20 o'clock, there were a number of minor events. Steve O'Donuell was master of cere monies.

The hall was crowded with a cosmopolitan collection of sports, comprising such men as George Engoman, Eiuil Hchielleiii.ex C'orporation Counsel William C. DeWitt, Tom Flaherty, Charlie Primrose. Jack MeMaaters, Denny Costigan, Gus Tut hill, Billy Oliver, Inspector McLaughlin, Frank Banhem. Jack Gains, Johnny Keating, who fought Dick Hollywood twice for the feather weight championship of America; Joe Ullman, Jack McAnliffe, Ike Weir (the Belfast Spider), Mike Cleary, Johnny Files, Joe Filings worth, Con McAidiffc, Denny Butler, Jack Hopper, Billy Edwards, Phil Dwyev, Billy Couners, Pat Sheedy, Joe Coburn, Lenny Treacey, Lord Dashington Murphy, of Boston; Jimmy Wakely, Phil Lynch and Johnny Mack. Jack Boyd, of Brooklyn, and Billy Hart, of Now York, were the first couple of boxers to be intro duced by the master of ceremonies, bteye U'JUon nell.

It was business from the start. The men, who were light weights, were beautifully matched. They made it business from the start a hard fight that stirred the crowd up to enthusiasm. Both men landed heavily. Boyd was fearfully smashed in tho face by Hart and returned severe punishment in the body.

The wind up was terrific; the men stood up to each other and slugged for dear life, and Hart got home very heavily by cross counters a score of times. Boyd did all tho leading and made the pace with positive ferocity, but he failed to land as often as his antagonist. Frank Crysler and Jack Shanley, both of this city, were the to meet in the ring. They nia'dea rattling set to, and the crowd went wild over them. Crysler was a little too rapid and active for his heavy but powerful antagonist, but the latter landed a few heavy swipes on his intellectual countenance, while Crysler hit him hard and often.

Crysler got a little the bOBt of it. Ed Connors, of New York, aud Jimmy Carroll, of this city, too well known middle weights, were the next couple. Both are black muzzled, hard faced fellows. Carroll is the man who has lately been trying 'for a match with Jack Fallon or tho Marine! He looks very like Johnny Reagan iu the face. He and Ed Connors went at each other like wild bulls and hit the very hardest they knew how from the call of time.

The set tos so far had put the crowd iu a very good humor, and when Joe Coburn shouted "What's the matter with these men?" the response was immediate and unanimous, "They're all They came together like lions, and their arms flew till the air seemed to be filled with revolving wheel spokes. They did more fighting in thoso three rounds than a spectator would see in three times that number in a finish light. Thc showed up magnificently and made a hurricane finish. They came out even. Jack Shea, of Now York, next had a somewhat tame encounter with Jack Boylan, of New York, the first man whom Dempsey fought, and who by the way gave him a very tough battle.

Shea was young and excited. He stood up to tho mark very earnes tly and hit out with much persistency, but little result. The crowd laughed and guyed the fighters terribly, for Boylan let up on his antagonist and only boxed his ears. The crowd yelled: Hey, kick him." "Take, an ax." "Oh, wind up lively." An extraordinary looking individual, who proved to be Denny Butler, camo to the front of the stage at the close of this bout, and, carefully depositing his hat on the platform, turned a mortally earnest face on the thousands of faces in front of him and announced: "Iconic before yiz this night, fi'entlemeii, because I am hero to ax yiz a favor on behalf of the both contests. Laughter and undignified remarks.

Both lie contests have requested me to ax de favor dat yous will all stop amokin' by request, aud dat dose what don't stop amokin' will be axed to do so by de gents what sits beside dcm. Moro laughter aud sundry reflections on the per sonal appearance and mode ot ailuressoi tno gentleman making the announcement. Now I tell yiz dat I'm savin' it straight, an' it's by request of ile two contests." Laughter. Steve O'Donuell here brought ont Ike Weir aud introduced him as "Ike Weir of Boston, who has como on, gentlemen, to fight 'The Tho crowd howled with delight at Steve's terrible break and Weir Mushed aud ran away. O'Bou nell afterward apologised and explained that Weir himself was the "Spider." John DeJlott of the New York Athletic Club who looks very much like General Catliu, got the platform next, and after securing silence made a most rambling argument on behalf of the noble art of self defense.

He said that Dempsey and Donovan met in a spirit of the utmost friendliness. Laughter. They were the very pick and flower of all exponents of self defense, and they were not going to appear for the purpose of engaging in savage fight but rather as public educators instructing the large and intelligent assemblage of gentlemen in the very highest forms of pugilistic art. Laughter. Martin Dempsey who looked as if he could not get any thinner without Knapping, came out with an ambitious young man who wanted to match his strength against Martin's steel muscles.

Martin half threw him and then held him up to save him from falling several times, and then finally put him down at tho end of half a minute. In tho second bout Martin caught his antagonist by tho shoulders, turned his back on him a moment and then stooping forward made brisk wrenching movement with his whole body. The ambitious young man flew high iu the air turning a complete somersault over Martin and landing on the back of his neck. 'No fall," sang out O'Donuell. The young man picked himself up iu a very dazed kind of way.

Once on his feet he never hesitated a moment though, but ignoring Mr. Dempsey walked off the stago quietly but with great firmness. It was a matter of tho most supreme indifference to him whether or not his tumble bad been a technical fall. He had had all the fun and excitement he desired. Mr.

Dempsey looked after him in a disappointed way aud said he was sorry if he had been rough. A long wait followed this fizzle and tho crowd filled it in with much good natured chaff. They called for Patrick Slieeily and Frank Stevenson and Billy Edwards to referee the fight between Dempsey and Donovan, and there were howls for the Marquis of Queensberry to superintend it. "Where's Mitchell?" a voice inquired, and a chorus responded: "He's in the soup. "Andsome Chawloy?" sang a verse with humor ous infliction and the house roared.

Mr. De Mott came to tho front of tho platform again and leaned on the central post to make another address. The crowd called him "Grover" and "Jake Kilrain," and iisked him, "What do you know about tho Tariff?" and What's the matter with C'oogan Ho stood bis ground with good humored face, and said: "Don't all speak at once and I will try to answer all your questions. 'Oh, wind Who will I wind up with, do you want to come up here and put on a flannel shirt with me? You're about my size. Cheers and shouts of 'That's tho Gentlemen, these contestants whom von are to see are the greatest fighters in the world.

Yells of 'Bring 'em We will bring 'em on when they have him rubbed down. 'Say, who are you, 'James Owen Laughter and cheers. There is nothing like taking such things as these placidly. 'How long are ou wound up for I ai not wound up at all. I come before you as a gentleman.

'You're full of 'Stop I am smoking because the men who are to fight are not here yet. When they come I wilt stop. 'Oh, shut your 'Go and take a. 'Won't you sing us something 'Where's the waiter I want to say to you that this is a friendly contest you arc to see 'Will you ever shut up aud so forth. The crowd called DeMott James Owen O'C'onor and gave him a terrible guying, but he stood it like a stoic aud walked back to his seat at the end of fifteen minutes as laughing and good natured as ever.

Steve O'Donuell came forward and called for Pete Donoghue and afterward for Pat Sheedy. "They want you to referee this," he said to "Handsome Pat." Sheedys broad face flushed up as he answered: "Not for the world: they are both friends of mine and I want to keep them so." The crowd howled for Sheedy and O'Doiinell told him that Dempsey and Donovan would agroo on no other man. "They'll stay here for ten years before I do," said Sheedy firmly, from his scat in the third row from the ring. "I paid my money and camo here to see the show. 1 would ho glad to oblige you, but have special reasons for refusing.

You know I have not spoken to Dempsey since I had words with him in California Eugene Comiskey came from the dressing room and made an earnest argument with Sheedy. Ho said: "It was Dempsey who suggested your name." "I can't help it; I won't act," said Sheedy. Finally Billy O'Brien was selected and agreed to by both men. He accepted after some persuasion.

Political Complexion of the Fifty first It is mi erroneous impression that the clerk of the House of Representatives can affect the settlement of the question as to whether the Fifty first Congress is to have a Democratic or Republican majority in the lower branch. The law defining his duty in the premises does not permit the exercise of any independent judgment or discretion.

That duty is simply clerical. He is required to make out a list of members whose credentials show that they were regularly elected "in accordance with the laws of their States respectively, or the laws of the United States." The credentials consist of the certificate of the Governor of the State that the person mentioned in the certificate was duly elected a member of the House of Representatives from the district specified. This is the clerk's sole and only guide to the preparation of the roll of new members, and he is bound to follow it, no matter what his opinion may be. as to the merits of any contest. The control of the next House is still a matter of doubt and the narrow margin on either side has given rise not only to a false impression as to the powers of tiie clerk but to suspicion of fraud in the election districts.

The indications of a Republican tidal wave afforded by the earliest returns were the grounds of some pretty extravagant claims by the organs of the successful party. The Tribune set the example by publishing a list of actual and estimated majorities, which showed that the number of Republicans elected exceeded that of Democrats by from 25 to oil. The Secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee calculated the result with a greater Tegsvrd lor probability and reduced the Tribune's figures nearly one half. Siuco then the returns have been steadily toning down the bright vermilion of our esteemed contemporary's hope. It seems that there are ten States in which disputes have arisen California, Connecticut.

Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, North (Wina, Virginia and West Virginia. They involve eighty five seats. The Democrats claim forty eight of these and concede! the Republicans thirty seven. The claim of the latter simply transposes the Democratic figures. Admitting the claim of the Republicans, it would give them a majority of twenty one in the House.

Admitting the claim of the Democrats it would give them 1G3 members, or just a majority. Therefore the Democrats must lie successful in every case, while the Republicans may lose in several of the contests and yet be able to control the organization. The obvious inference from the foregoing is that the Democrats will constitute a minority in the Fifty first Congress, and it were better so than otherwise. The Eagle believes that the party in control of the Executive branch of the Government should also be charged with the responsibility of the legislative branch. If it has a policy to enforce different from that followed by the outgoing Administration it ought to have the aid of therSemra aad House in executing that polioyC Under this state of circumstances the people will be.

able to sharply discrimi nate between the political competitor in (l the ends for which parties ought to be all the better served. xist will Accounting' for Defeat. Several gentlemen of more or less prominence in local politics undertook at the meetings of the Democratic ward associations, reported in our columns last evening, to account for the parly defeat at the November election. About the only thing on which these despondent spokesmen were in. entire accord was the desirability of maintaining themselves and their associates in comfortable relations at the public crib.

To demonstrate their reverence for the motto of Marcy, to the victors belong the spoils," by verbal utterance was hardly necessary under the circumstances. Nearly every sneaker was in some way related to offi cial service. That there is a charm about plaeeholding is evident from the persistence of the orators in dwelling on matters pertaining to patronage. That they knew what they were talking about is as plain as a pikestaff. They considered the situation not from the lofty standpoint of unadulterated patriotism, but'as thrifty and comfortable exponents of the art of officeholding.

There is every likelihood, therefore, that theironstifucnts will make proper allowance for their disinterestedness. Opinions on the general features of the canvass and its results are amusingly diversified. The Hon. P. H.

McCarren, Assemblyman elect, who has never been backward when the atmosphere savored of spoils, expressed in the Fourteenth Ward some very original views. I)i his judgment there was too much Cleveland and too little McLaughlin in the canvass. Attempts to discredit the leadership of Mr. McLaughlin he denounced as unfair. They were equivalent to holding that gentleman responsible for the Tariff blunder of the President.

'If," exclaimed Mr. McCarren, in ft sudden outburst of adulation, "Mr. McLaughlin had been permitted to shape the policy of the parly, I think it safe to say we would be celebrating a victory instead of trying to account for How Mr. McLaughlin ri.mirrf this imnlied reflection on Mr. with whom he is supposedly on terms of friendship, remains to be demonstrated.

Perhaps Mr. McLaughlin would have been a wiser and more discreet leader for the national Democracy than Grover Cleveland was; but Mr. McCarren ought to bear in mind that the people elected Mr. Cleveland, not Mr. McLaughlin, to the Presidency four years ago.

No provision is made in the Constitution for devolving presidential duties on a lieutenant. Hence Mr. Cleveland, like the Leadville orgauist, was compelled to do the best he could, without Mr. McLaughlin's statesmanlike co operation. It is rather ungrateful for Mr.

McCarren, in the circumstances, to shoot at him. To strategic errors Police Justice Kenna, also of the Fourteenth, attributed the loss of the Presidency. As far back as the St. Louis Convention he felt that a blunder was imminent. While respecting the Old Roman hi: thought that the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate should have been chosen from Imli nna.

Then. too. the red bandana, the glorious old bandana, was to blame. While the Democracy. Judge Kenna says, regarded it typical of the grand old veteran who used it simply and plainly, our opponents seized and appropriated to their use the flag of the Republic, and the contrast cost us many votes." The judge thinks that the President's efforts in behalf of Civil Service Reform were a failure; that the December message was a mistake, and that the people believe in government by party.

Vncoii Fcionsly. perhaps, but nevertheless ungraciously, he dropped into the "biger man than ole Grant" vein, by pushing Mr. Cleveland into obscurity and characterizing Governor Hill as "the foremost Democrat in the land to day." Fire Commissioner Ennis tin ned up in the Fifteenth Ward as the Mark Tapley of the occasion. With a confidence worthy of Bunsby he remarked that We are defeated but not conquered." "Trite." he added, we have lost the head of our ticket, the Presidency of the United States, but we have not lost a Democrat on the State ticket, and my conviction is that if we had on the national ticket the same head that we had on the State ticket, the laugh would be on the other side of the house to night." Before the audience had recovered from this herculean whack at the President, Commissioner Funis wound up with this reassuring statement: "For myself, cent canvass, Mr. P.

E. Callahan, among other stump speakers, was characterized as "a wind jammer." Mr. Callahan, in a courteous letter to the Eagle, denies that he is anything of the sort. From the tone of his communication we see, no reason to discredit Mr. Callahan's disclaimer.

About tho only point left in doubt by what at first promised to develop into a stirring controversy is the meaning of the term employed by the veteran Democrat to discredit his adversary. To tho plain, matter of fact citizen the question naturally suggests itself, What, is "a wind jammer," anyway The question was not satisfactorily answered on Thursday, even by the experts whom tho Eagle interviewed on the subject. We have searched in vain to discover the definition of the characterization employed by Mr. Callahan's critic. Neither Dr.

Noah Webster nor the Rev. James Storm on th has deemed it worthy of a place in the dictionary. It is necessary, therefore, to resort, to the ingenious method employed by a litera ry celebrity at Mrs. Hunter's fancy ball. Have you read," asked the eelobrity, my avticle on Chinese Metaphysics "Didn't know," replied the uuappraciative person addressed, "that the Chinese had any metaphysics." Whereupon the celebrity unfolded the mystery of his method.

Turning to the encyclopedia he looked up China." Then he read up on Metaphysics." The result was a complete exposition of intell ectual phenomena in Ihe Flowery Empire. Following tho cue given by Mrs. Hunter's eminent guest we produce re suits nearly, if not quite, as satisfactory. "Wind," Webster says, may be defined either as "air naturally in motion with any degree of velocity," or "air artificially put, in motion from any fore or action." "Jam," according to the same authority, is "to press, to crowd, to squeeze tight, to wedge in." A "wind jammer," we are accordingly impelled to infer, is an individual who, having cornered his victim, proceeds to fill him with air just as a rubber foot ball is inflated. It is a name that could fittingly be applied to some of the orators who figured in the campaign, but ne ver.

we are sure, to Mr. Callahan. That gentleman, ns tho world has bein informed over his own (signature, knew all about the Tariff. He had, he asserts, "prepared himself on the questions at issue." When lie "addressed his neighbor he knew what he was talking about." By direction of the Campaign Committee he had diligently perused the "Democratic Text Book." How, after researches in this direction, could he be termed a "wind jammer So far as Mr. Callahan is concerned the appellation was ont of place.

From the humanitarian, to say nothing of the patriotic standpoint, he is incapable of the turpitude imputed to him. Callahan corner the unsophisticated wayfarer and jam political wind or wisdom into his unresisting physique! Never, so long as a streak of true Democratic generosity or Jeffersoniau neighborly good fi eliiur remains on this fretful planet! Calla han, you may be sure, is not that sort of a man. He prefers to hire, tho unsuspicious prey to destruction by milder methods. When Callahan gets started he takes hold not like the colic, nor yet like yellow fever, but with the moderate, and certain grasp of malaria. If his account of himself be correct nothing could be more disagreeable for him than the swift sacrifice of his auditors.

To nurse them on through a lingering existence until sheer exhaustion enables them to claim exemption from the penalties of the "Text Book" would seem to bo his favorite means ot consummating his work. There is no taint of Whitechapel in his composition. Neither is ho given to the sudden and deadly ferocity of the head hunters of Borneo. Under these reassuring circumstances it is not unreasonable to suppose that soma of his hearers will survive to greet him when next he mounts the rostrum. Meantime, Mr.

Callahan can afford to answer his detractors in the words of the sublime Milton. Think not with wind or airy threats to awe. Srikc nnl Tic Ups. The local street car strike yesterday reached the riotous stage, aud, after the police had been pelted with stones and several men severely clubbed, a compromise was reached, the terms of which have not yet heen made public. Unless a strike is pipped in the bud it generally develops into a riotous exhibition of some kind, for it is only natural that the men who quit work should show resentment against those who volunteer to take their places.

This resentment is displayed in systematic attempts to obstruct the tracks and interfere with the running of ears, and, of course, when the police appear on the scene all the conditions requisite for a free fight are complete. The moment violence is resorted to, lawful agitation for the attainment of any object, no matter how worthy it may be, is at an end. Strikers understand this; They know that they have a perfect right to abstain from work if they desire to do so, but that they have no right whatever to prevent others from taking their places, nor to injure the property of the corporation with which they nuaivel. Orcnnizution has done much to i better tho condition of labor iu this country, but it can never succeed in cramming down the throats of intelligent people the doctrine that a man is not at liberty to earn his living iu any way he chooses aud at any rates he chooses, without outside interference. If the New Williamsburgh and Flatbush Company had stood on this broad ground from the start it would have been iu a position to deal with its employes strictly as individuals, and to recognize the authority of no association.

But as a matter of fact it. entered into an agreement with its employes as a body, and thereby recognized the right of organized demand. Certain stipulations were made. The understanding was presumably satisfactory to both parties, and the only question left for determination in the event, of trouble was to what extent, if at all, either side had departed from the terms of the contract. That au amicable settlement has been reached is gratifying, because it is more that probable that had the strike continued other roads would have been affected aud rioting would have gone on.

But what principle has been settled? burely none. The question of the right of a railroad company to do as it likes is still in abcj'ance no line has been drawn showing precisely to what extent organized labor may assert itself; no point of equity has been finally adjusted. In short, it is the same old story over again. These "tie ups" occur periodically. There is always a hurried meeting of the particular labor organization to which the strikers belong; generally more or less violence a State arbitrator arrives with the same eagerness to make a show of earning his salary, and at precisely 1 o'clock in the morning (as usual) it is announced that "differences have been satisfactorily settled." The experience is wearisome in its monotony.

Oftentimes the real issue is sought to be muddled by those who handle the assessments of the organizations in order that they may prosper thereby. It is certain that the strikers are worse off when they are not at work than when they are it is almost equally certain that the men who control the funds are better off when a strike is in progress than when there is no strike at all. So far, again, as the merit of a controversy is concerned, it makes comparatively little difference what tho number of men who are party to it. In Chicago, in New York, and, perhaps by this time in Brooklyn, strikers must have learned that they cannot gain their ends by trying to terrorize the community. Public sentiment will not Btand that.

From every standpoint of economy it must also be agreed that a general strike in aid of a particular strike, es Taxes anrt (lie City Administration. The Board of Aldermen has formally approved the city tax levy, which amounts to $11, A snug sum is eleven millions, it will be said, and customary disquisitions on the cxpensiveness of municipal housekeeping may be looked for. The figures certainly are not to be made light of. The property owner is regularly reminded of them by his tax bills, but every inhabitant of the town helps to pay them, although often unconscious of the obligation. The plain duty of an administration is, while not occupying itself with cheese paring or practicing an economy which in the end is wasteful, to make this universally distributed burden as light as practicable.

Rut it is neither useful nor intelligent to exaggerate either the tax levy or its significance, and it is proper to consider fairly the difficulties the local government encounters in dealing with the pecuniary problem. Au analysis of the figures will show that upon the whole our financial affairs are reasonably well managed. Such an analysis was made oji the fourth page of yesterday's Eagle. In the first place, Brooklyn has to pay her share of the expenses of Kings County and a like proportion of the. State taxes falling upon this county, that is nineteen twentieths of the whole.

Tie actual city budget amounts to A considerable part of it is fixed by law and therefore beyond the control of the city administration. For example, the following sums must be rovided for Inl. st en city lli'bt ipitl on city debt, ii eluding certain ssnioiits Twenty sixth Ward debt. an 00. ts.n Of the salaries included in the budget an amount in excess of two millions is fixed by law.

The following deduction must therefore be made from the city levy: less shore of county tax 'K I Fixed clmrKOS The city ofneors accountable for An extract from the letter written on the 20th of last February by Mayor Chnpin to Statt Senator O'Connor is pertinent to this mailer of taxes which are beyond municipal control The common belief undoubtedly is that the Board of Estimate commands largo resources which it places at the disposal of the Mayor and the ads of departments. It may not be unin strnctive to show that this belief should be seriously modified. It is well known that Brooklyn's wealth is small. Our problem, as compared with that of Now York, is to attempt to buy for each citizen with Si what New York buys for him with As compared with Boston we try to support three men with $1 as well as that city supports two men with But aside from this permanent aspect of affairs the actual power of the Board of Estimate is much narrower than may by m.m.v be supposed. The charge, for example, for interest upon the debt for the year 1881) in round numbers will lie $1 ,500,000.

The necessary Sinking Fund purchases and payments on account of the principal of the debt will bo not far from $1,000,000. The salaries and other expenditures already fixed by law will amount to Payments on account of Stale taxes, assuming such payments to be substantially the Fame as for the present year, will equal SO 1 0.000. Payments on account of county taxes and elm 'ges, assuming such payments to be substantially the same as for the. present year, will ecptal 000. The Board of Estimate will meet in June to make up the budget ami thus to fix the tax rate.

lint, as indicated by the figures cited, Oelorc tno Hoard meets appropriations amounting to i'i, 1 tiO.ooo are already made by law. These appropriations of themselves make a tax rate of about 1 If our tax rate is to remain at its present figure of nearly 70 (a rate much too high) it follows that tiie Board of Estimate next June will have no duty before it hut to make such appropriations as ean be met by a rate of S0.S4; thai is, by the dilYevtnee between S1.K0, representing the fixed appropriations, and J.70, representing the present total levy. These facts call attention to the striking and overwhelming disadvantages under which JhwJd.vn's public servants hnve labored in endeavoring to administer its finances. In fact, the Brooklyn taxpayer and the official have both been trying to pay for the past and the future, while at the same time providing for the present. The indebtedness which compels the taxpayer of the present "to pay for the past" was, as to the bulk of it, incurred long ago and no recent administration is responsible for it.

The principal and interest of the bonds and the olhw' mandatory appropriations indicated reduce to' less than four millions and a half the deeretionary margin for an outcry against the local government by its critics. But it would be an abuse of speech to say that the greater part even of this amount is discretionary. It is in no just sense within the discretion of the city officers whether the streets shall bo lighted and cleaned and repaired, or whether a police force shall be maintained tor tne protection oi. persons property, or whether a force of men shall bo a plant of engines and other material, to extinguish fires, or whether a sanitary staff shall be furnished to guard the health of the town, or whether the pleasure ground for which the people have paid heavily, shall be kept fit for popular use. It would be absurd to say that these and other matters are discretionary.

They are wants which the city administration is bound to supply and pay for; and even with a niggardly consideration of them, and without regard to the multiplying needs of a growing population, the appropriations for them must be large. The real margin ro iiie.il ovnmination is verv narrow, and covers only such increases as may occur in the requisitions and allowances for specific, purpose's. This branch of the subject was duly reviewed by the Eagle while the budget was under debate and after it was made up. With few exceptions it would be hard for the captious faultfinder to show that the advance this rear was not entirely necessary. A lUoral Ciy.

Bridge President Howell dissents from City Missionary Bainbridge's opinion that Brooklyn is au immoral city. The percentage of wickedness here, he is quite confident, is relatively less than in other communities of largo population. To disprove some of the imputations of Mr. Bainbridgo Mr. Howell lias caused the bridge officers to count the unattended women who crossed the structure within a given week between midnight and 0 A.

M. The number is so small that Mr. Howell believes the adverse criticism of Mr. Bainbridgo to have been completely refuted. Persons familiar with the social conditions prevalent in this community will be disposed to agree with Mr.

Howell's judgment concerning the virtue of our people. It is not easy, however, to perceive what ho expects to demonstrate by the figures submitted touching the early morning traffic on the bridge. The matter, for purposes of popular discussion, is useless and unprofitable. Of far greater relevancy are the statisticsannually furnished by Police Superintendent Campbell iu his annual report. They show, what can easily be verified, that resorts for the vicious in this town, if they have not been abolished altogether, are so few in nuin ber and so carefully concealed that not one' person in a thousand is aware of their location or existence.

Two causes have operated to.
