AFTER THE II TILE
Now that the New York charter has been sum-
marily disposed OF and p &C hundred days have ex-
pred the republican far ,tions and the divided demo-
cfats are Of loss TO snow exactly what to do with
themselves In order to throw something like life
into the proceedings. To be sure there is an I'M
mepse deal OF bo siness yet be taken in hand and
done for but tt is in great part OF that STALE nat
and Improbable character that throws gloom

TENTH STREET RAILROAD.
The bill to authorize The construction OF q rail
road In Christopher and Tenth streets and Clinton

every proposition that the faithful New Workers
made either to perfect or to kill the bill.
While Weismann was in the midst Of one
OF his most eloquent dissertations on his daty to
his constituents, for which he expressed q most
refreshing regard, ana Tiemann, in the chair, was
declaring MIN entirely out OF order, Senator James
Wood demanded 10 know who owned the streets
OF New York. 1t was some time before he could
get the attention OF the senator frona the Sixth,
to his constituents ana involved rather Deeply IN
the intricacies OF the English language. When
Weismann did hear him, however. he replied
very sharply to the irrelevant questions which the
senator rom the Thirtieth proposed to him,
and held his own against that wordy lawyer very
ably. or course his protest went Tor nothing, and
the Dill was ordered TO a third reading.
