Az well might the Governor and the Legislature
take the street cleaning, the lighting and the

State out of the hands Of the local authorities as
to yoke the city of New York to the adjoining

If, therefore, there was ever question which
was calculated to enlist the patriotism, the sctive
energies and the talents Of leading men OF all
parties. this Is one. II Is no mere party Issue no

we have shown, not only the peounlsry interests

and yet there seem none desirious Of WANING the

arises merely from ignorance Of the importance

soou scared up burglar. who fed with
his booty, consisting ufgold watches and

him, was greeted with pistol, winch,
however, missed fire, and the r0bber was
secured, and walked Otto Jail. In run
