THE POLICE JUSTICE NOMINATIONS.

The RumOrs That Are Making Re.
formers Feel Bad and the Rumors That
the ssIns'' Have Heard About-And
What They All Amount to.
The politicians of the Council OF Reform order
were In great stew yesterday over the non action
of the Board of Aldermen on Thursday in regard
to the Mayors nominations for Police JUS
tees. The sudden adjournment OF the Board.
everybody who was present knows was due simply
to the lateness OF tie hour ut which the Board of
Supervisors adjourned after their squabple over
the taxable-valuation-o f-property fight aud to no
other cause whatever. Yet the hangers-on of the
Council, on account Of the adjournment, have con-
jured up In their minds all sorts OF phantoms OF
NEW CONsPIRACIEs AND vILLAINOUs BARGAINS,
IN which even reform factions Of dollars are al
lowed consideration as conscience evolves, and
they talk as though it was high time some higher
power should intervene to change the course of
human events that has been so much all one way
during the past two months. 1t is said that Beers
and his patriotic crowd OF ofice-seekers are at
their wits end what to do about the situation at
present, and that they talk about giving up the
fight without any more struggles. Now as to all
this in the first place. 1t Is safe to say that the pub

on; for there are really no new conspiracies, no
new plannings that have for their object anything
greater than combined attack upon q drink
around the corner, or lunch at some place where
wine Is good and salads better. In this connec-

SOOTHING SYRUP FOR THE POLICE JUSTICES FRIENDS,

and yet, doubtless, there will be found sensation
mongers even after their denial, with hardihood
enough to spread the story in different colors every
day until next Thursday The politicians on both
sides OF this mooted question of the Police Justices
can, under the assurance that the skies are vet
serene, AFFORD to go about their business com

dongs OF the Board next week give them cause for
new excitement. The Mayor says he feels uncon.
