Real Estate In tho City.

Not long since there was q commission in
existence charged with the job Of making the
whole Of this island a sort Of municipal checker
board Of cross streets and Tenth, Eleventh
and Twelfth avenues All that picturesque
part OF the island whose broken surface
afforded fine suburban residences for the
wcalthicr citizens Of the metropolis was to
be destroyed in the plan of these worthless,
and the whole face OF the island was to be cut
10 dead level 10 make an illimitable area for
corner groceries and "city lots" We took
somewhat active part In spelling the vast job
that the commissioners had in hand in that
vandal scheme and in securing the improve
ment Of the district In question by the con-
struction Of the Grand Boulevard under the
auspices Of the Central Park Commission. In

The Division of the spoIIs.

Confusion reigns among the politicians in
Washington. The spoils question, and who
shall direct the division, is the great bone Of
contention. With an instinct that belongs to
the true hummer the members Of both houses
do not incline to quarrel among themselves,
and 50 they have adopted the caucus plan.
King Caucus assumes the appointing power,
and, after arranging the slate, waits upon the
President and tells him what Is to be done. In
the matter OF the nominations to the Offices in
Pennsylvania very instructive incident has
occurred in Washington, which illustrates tho
peculiar relations to each other Of the
several branches Of the government. The
republican Senators and Representatives from
that State met In caucus and coolly resolved
that each republican member of the House
shall have the control Of tho appointments to
office In his district, and in those represented
by democrats the State Senators shall have tho
same.
The GOODNESS of this proceeding Is only
surpassed by It's impudence. We can readily
comprehend that in making appointments 10
Office the President would do we'll to consult
representative men from the several districts.

A REMEDY FOR THE STREET CAR NUISANCE
AT THE FooT OF THE PARK--Make q circular
road for all the cars Of the various lines that
terminate at the junction Of Broadway and
Park row, and compel them to pass along
without stopping to their respective tracks.
There would then be no delay, no changing Of
the horses, and consequently no obstructions
and no nuisance. Each road would have but
one terminus, and that would be the uptown
depot. There would be no necessity for down.
town starters, and the companies, the public
and the city generally would be benefited.
