Referring to the rumor that the vacancy in
the New York representation created by the
death of Mr.. Brooks is to be filed by Sunset
Cox, the Springfield Republican hopes that
rumor IN this instance knows what she is talk
ing about "He has had" says that paper "more
than ordinary advantages of education and
travel, has been in the House long enough to
acquire valuable experience, and, for demo-
cratic Congressman. has very little of the bat
about him." This is all very well, and every.
body in and about Congress would be glad to
hear Of the success of the genial, witty, and we
believe, thoroughly honest gentleman named;
but IL seems that Mr.. Robert b. Roosevelt
wants to step into the shoes vacated by Mr..
Brooks, and as he has good deal more money
than Mr.. Cox, and knows how to use 1t in the
way of buying his way into Congress, we fear
that his brilliant and capable competitor won't
stand much show. Mr.. Roosevelt's bad record
as Congressman in the matter of back pay,
and in the attempt. through his striker Riley,
10 levy subsidy money from the District govern
ment ought to defeat him, and would probably,
with any other than New York constituency.
1t is possible, however, that Roosevelt's sour
rilous abuse Of the German and Irish people in
his paper TAe Citizen, may trip him mp in Mr..
Brooks district, which has pretty large for
ign element.

The Tendency OF Real Estate.

We have had occasion to show time and again
by the record OF the sales of real estate in this
city how groundess have been the utterances
of the croakers who have 50 persistently argued
that prices were speculative, that they could
not be maintained, that " the bottom would
soon drop OUT and all that. Some of these
prophets of evil, when taken at their word by
the purchase from them of their city lots, have
had the disagreeable experience of not only
seeing their fame as seers utterly dissipated.
but the same lots resold within the year at
prices three or four times what they had held
to be speculative. The opening of the real es-
tate season this spring shows the same upward
tendency of prices, despite "dull times" and
:" no money" and it is evident that people
who are waiting for the river to run by and
prices of ground II fall to a song before they
purchase, will have to wait a long while.
In New York we note a similar condition of
the real estate market, rs shown by recent sales
establishing comparative prices between this
year and seven years ago. The advance in real
estate l. described by the Bulletin as ssstart-
hing, >" TO those who have not kept the run of
prices At the sale seven years ago of the lot
on the southwest corner of I'D street and sth
avenue, Immediately opposite the grand west
entrance to Central Park it brought SIS 800,
which was looked upon at the time as a high
figure The adjoining lots sold for upwards of
$40 900 each At the sale last week the auc-
honeer, after giving the most positive assur-
ance that the sale was peremptory, and that
there would be no extraneous influences brought
TO bear, and that every lot would be sold to the
highest bidder, commenced by offering the lot
situated on TIE southwest corner Of list street
and the Broadway Boulevard, fronting on the
Grand Plaza Ii was started at SIS, 900, and
after spirited contest between several bidders
il was struck of for s32 900. The adjoining lots
sold for from 81, 500 to $50 500. At the sale in
1896 the highest price paid for a corner lot on
broadway or the Boulevard was less than
$500, and inside lots brought less than 1000
each. At Thursdays sale as high as 80 800 was
realized for lots on list street; corresponding
lots brought 80 400 at the previous sale.
The bidding was very active, and quite a
laugh was raised at the expense of one Of the
purchasers who had the option of plot of lots
at a certain price and declined, but who, when
the same lots were put up under the hammer,
was compelled after an energetic opposition to
pay an advance of several thousand dollars on
the price for which they were offered him pre-
yiOusly.
In the face of the stringent and unsettled
condition of the money market, this sale is
looked upon as showing quite conclusively that
there is no weakness in the New York real es-
tate market.

The bill introduced in the Council by Mr..
Thompson reducing salaries and Offices, and the
bill Of similar import introduced in the lower
house by Mr.. Smoot, are signs that the Legis-
lature means in earnest to set about the work
OF retreDchment recommended by Governor
Cooke OF course some care must be taken in
reducing salaries and looping of heads to see
that II Is done judiciously, but 1t is quite
evident that the heavy work Of getting the
machinery Of the new District government into
running order is sufficiently advanced to allow
q large reduction Of force and salaries.
