The business before the Board Of Aldermen last
evening was entirely of routine nature, and con-
siderable amount Of it transacted as will appear
in our official report. If we may judge, however,
from the perpetual buzz that prevailed, notwith-
standing the motion Of the Alderman Of the Ninth
to adjourn, in consequence, and the repeated raps
of the Presidents hammer, we may fairly suppose
'some lobbying" was done.
In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, the Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department sent in his official
return, showing the election Of the ten assistant
engineers, and asked for their confirmation On
motion Of Assistant Alderman Ring, the return was
accepted, and the election confirmed. The ordinary
routine Of business was then transacted, and the
Board adjourned until this afternoon, at six o'clock.

they were very much out frepair. Mr.. Cooley
is more practical man. He brings this idea
from the Pyramids, and applies it to our canals.
He suddenly looms up among the small fry of
the Legislature, like a giant among the pig
mics. He maintains his ground like a Trojan.
He has infused life and character into the dull
ness of our Albany debates. He has brought
about something like plan for the enlarge
ment of the canals and where the constitution
is a barrier, he proposes to amend the constitu-
ton. This is our ground. Let the canals be
enlarged-make room for our inland trade; but

Vanderbilt, or anybody else, to ride rough

The TEHUANTEPEC TREATY-SOMETHING OF A
RIsK.-The Sloo grant OF the Tehuantepec route
involves payment to Mexico of some $780,
900. Of this sum it appears the agents of Col
Sloo have advanced the first instalment of
$4,000, which ordinarily would be considered
as clinching the bargain. But in this case it is
q risk, and somewhat hazardous risk of the
money. First Of all, there is the priority of the
Garay treaty, upon which our government has
taken its stand, to MAINTAIN it and enforce it, as
far as it has done anything on the subject
Secondly, Santa Anna is returning to supersede
the provisional government granting this right
of way to Col. Sloo So that Col. Sloo is not
only in danger of having his contract quashed,
but of losing his money. Santa Anna made
the contract with Garay. Will he now repudi-
ate it, We shall soon see.

NExlco-ITs PAST AND PREsENr.-We publish
elsewhere in our columns to-day what will be
found to be most interesting and instructive
tabular statement OF the territory, revenue,
foreign and domestic debt, and army, of Mexico,
anterior and posterior to the declaration Of its
independence in 1921. To the statesman, the
politician, the philosopher. and the general
reader the information contained in this state
ment is extremely valuable, though to the alb
stract lover of liberty it is suggestive Of melan-
choly reflections. The territory, which in 1921
amounted to two hundred and sixteen thou
sand square leagues, has been reduced to less
than half that extent The foreign debt which in
1921 is represented by ciphers, is set down for
1853 at ffty-two millions ofdollars. The revenue
within the same period has fallen from twenty
millions of dollars to one half that sum; and
the army, which in 1920 was estimated at
eighty-five thousand available men, is now re-
presented by the figure Of fourteen thousand.
These statistics speak for themselves in testi
mony Of the incapacity of the Mexican people
for selfgovernment, and indicate the inevita-
bility Of the event which will precipitate that
splendid but impoverished country into the lap
of the United States. AT the present epoch this
authentic view Of the resources of Mexico comes
very apropos, and will, doubtless, be carefully
preserved by the administration at Washington.
and by the young American politicians for flu
ture reference.
