SoME OF REOoELTN,s NEEDS.

4 city of half the population of our own,
faces us acros, the East River. BY its recent
hearty aud in great part successful effort at
throwing oil its Ring government it has shown
public spirit that fairly commends il 10 our
sympathies. Before many years it will be con-
nected with Us by one or two bridges, and the
union of the two cities will be topographic if
not political fact. In previous articles we
have pointed out some of the deficiencies under
which Brooklyn labors; the list is far from
being exhausted.
One of its chief needs is a market. All the
surplus products of the soil OF Long Island
come to New-York, forming a very c0nsidera-
BILE proportion of the daily food supply Of this
city. They pass straight through Brooklyn on
their way here during the night. The-conse-
Guent waste of time and labor that results in
transporting back the food supply of
Brooklyn Is simply enormous. There are
first, the two ferriages across the East
River; second. two carriages i'll New
York, most of the produce going across
this city to Washington Market; third the
carriage in Brooklyn to the smaller shops, from
which still another carriage distributes them
10 the customers. 1t follows that the price of
food in Brooklyn ia higher than in this city,
notwithstanding the fact that the shopkeepers

nv A Clique Of Federal office-holders. This
feeling, growing among Republicans, did much
to cause the reverses Of 1874, and led some
of the most able and upright Republican men,
hers TO make stout and successful resistance
in Congress to the Force bill, and TO other
extreme measures. The President saw this
tendency Of public opinion, and bowed to it
in his decision regarding matters in Arkansas,
Texas. and Mississippi Congress itself paid
some respect to public opinion, though
not enough, in its action in re-
gard to Louisiana. During the recent
campaign, although great efforts were
made TO create new disturbance in Mlssls-
sippi, as "a prctext for Federal interference,
the President suffered the people to vote with
out direction from bayonets. The result OF
this change of policy has been the general
defeat of the Administration party at the
South, and this was inevitable. Wherever
that party was under such control, its defeat
was necessary preliminary to reor-
ganization. Any party may welcome
beating if it thereby escapes from the
control of thieves. But, irrespective OF
party consequences, the Southern States have
reason to rejoice In all OF them there is
peace. I'm nearly all the will of the people
prevails at last, and, if the Government does
not please us in all respects, it is at least
better than the rule Of rascals which prevailed
three years ago. In South Carolina Repub-
lcan Governor has been found to lead In re-
form. In Louisiana, debts and taxes
have been reduced, and some respect
has been paid to the popular Will
since Congress adjourned. In Mississippi
the shadow of Gen. Butler has power no
longer 1t may he that the Republican party
will secure but few electoral votes from the
South in the next Presidential election. But
there can be no doubt that the South is more
peaceful, more honestly governed, more pros
porous, and contributing more to the pros
perlty of the country, than it was three years
ago.
During the coming session of Congress the
Republican members from the Southern States
will not he very numerous, nor will they have
as much power as the mob of INSCRIPTIONS
partisans from that section used to WELD. But
they have opportunity to do much good, If
they will. They must realize that mere par
tisanshlp will no longer serve them. Pursuing
manly, liberal, and Independent policy, they
might yet place the Republican party or new
footing at the South

A correspondent in last Saturdays TRIBUNE
suggested that reading room and library
should be established in every village; one
room, nj least well warmed and lighted,
where the poor man as well as the rich could
90 in the evening to read, gossip, or smoke
as he pleased. Drinking and card-rlaying,
of course, should be carefully excluded,
and the admission should be absolutely
free. There are many notifications and
engagements of this plan which we urge upon
the attention of thoughtful men, as especially
suitable for this Winter In the cities, both
scaboard and inland, there will be thousands
of young men either looking for work or
whose employment leaves them idle in the
evenings. with no means to provide themselves
with comforts of any sort for these spare hours.

Young and old, who are gradually driven to
ruin simply for the lack of the innocent re-
creation which probably they would have pre-
ferred in Their unemployed evenings. So

The first danger to guard against is that Of
attempting too much. A library is costly

and two tons of coal, is easily accomplished.

that sell IL are under lighter rents. This forms
permanent tax upon Brooklyn residents, anu
O very heavy one.
Projects for Brooklyn market have often
been put forward and warmly advocated, but
nothing has come to maturity. The one that
seemed most practicable was the use OF
the square known as City Park vacant space
of little service for popular recreation, opposite
the south west corner Of the Navy Yard. Inc
objections to this were probably, that 1t Is
not quite near enough to the water to dispense
with carriage, and it is not in part OF the
city that shows any tendency to improvement
though greatly in want Of it. A much better
plan is now urged. This Is to obtain from
the United States Government, by purchase or
otherwise. the land owned by 1t between
Washington and Clinton-aves., and to erect
n market thereon. 1t IL triangular
space on the water front, and the lots
are already half filed in. A few years
ago Brooklyn surrendered the outlets OF
these avenues on the water front TO
the Government, In exchange for liberty 10
carry the extremity of one of them through
the Navy-Yard property to the Eastern DIS
trict. A very considerable growth OF the cry
near the line of that opening has resulted, and
it appears desirable that Brooklyn should be
allowed to repent of her bargain so far as the
foot of the avenues is concerned.
One of the consequences which would now
from this location of Brooklyn market, aside
from the prospect of direct trade in Long
Island produce, would be the opening oil
new ferry at this point. 1t is practically md
way between the ferries of the Eastern
and Western Districts. Such ferry
would offer many advantages OF Its own, ana
would tend greatly to the relief of other Ter
ries that are Overcrowded Especially would
it he serviceable for loaded vehicles, since the
rise from the water front there is quite
gradual Tho hill at Fulton Ferry proves
now so great an obstacle that heavy
loads are to great extent taken 10
the distant ferries of the Eastern District. a
new ferry at the point indicated would be OF
great advantage to foot passengers, as u would
be nearer than any other means OF
crossing to at least thirty per cent
of the present population OF Brooklyn.
Their saving in distance from their residences
to this ferry would be from . fifth to thlrd
for the greater number; an economy of time
and effort twice day. 1t is also noteworthy
that this ferry would principally serve
a section of Brooklyn where the pop
ulation has increased and is increasing
more than the average. There is some hitch
in the matter of cedinS the land, among naval
authorities at Washington; but Mayor Hunter
of Brooklyn will probably not be discouraged
thereby in urging project so maniiestly Tor

THE SOUTH IND HFPtRfitININN.
Three wears ago a powerful element in the
Republican party demanded q change IN It's
poIicy toward the Southern States. II did moi
prevail in the election. but It's appeal to the
good sense and conscience OF the country was
not without fruit. Republicans in every part
of the country were brought to understand
that a combination of spoilsmen, calling Itself
the Republican party, had been conducting
affairs in the Southern States in a manner
utterly incxcusablc. 1t was shown that this
misgovernment III Southern States not only
brought the Republican party there into dis
grace, drove away from il the more intelligent
and worthy class of loyal whites. and sub
iected States, counties, and cities to such bur
dens that government was little less than con
fscation of property, but sustained set OF
Senators and Representatives i'll Congress whose
votes controlled decisions in party caucus,
forced repugnant measures upon Northern Re
publicans, aud were cast for measures of the
most dangerous character.
This appeal had weight with thousands of
Republicans who did not think it wise TO act
with the Liberal movement Of 1872. They
began to watch the conduct of Republicans i'll
Congress. They saw votes of Southern Repub
licans east for the salary grab, the Force bill,
and for imitation. They realized that the party
could not escape speedy overthrow if its course
WAS to be shaped by Representatives who
were practically as irresponsible to any Oon-
stituency ~ If they had been appointed

The necessity of brevity ia our reports robs many
statements of much OF their romance. The full story
of the operations of the Childrcns Aid Society, OF

of Ragged Schools" large az to justify the dig

thousand miserable Arabs of crowded metropolitan

Of the Society: OF many thousands more OF proud

banks with their saw ings and learning the first hard
