Tie Grand Rapids (AZicl.) Eagle pro-
nounccs itself in fnvor Of tho proposition Of
TIM Cu1cAno TRIBUNE for tho division Of tho
Southern whito people into the two natural
parties, Bourbon and Progressive, mud tho i!i-
vision Of tho negro yoto between them, but
does not SEQ how It can be done, because
"tho Democracy will not 1ond ita aid to s,1cll
project" Wa might answer this by show
ing tho Eagle that tho Now Orleans DuAttin,
tho most radical Of all tho Southern Bourbon
newspapers, aud others of tho na,ne class,
lsnye nlready intlorsed the scheme Ms it has
been presented in The CHICAGO TRIBUNE;
but there is morn satisfactory answer still,
for which VIC refer tho Eagls to tho dispatches
relative to the settlement OF tho Louisiana
question upon tho basis Of tho WHEELER con-
promise. By this compromise it Is ,ln.
derstood TINT tho House will be Consorya.
tive and tho Sonata Republican. If the
Conservatives ol Louisiana Ind been oil Bour.
bons, n compromise OF this kind would havo
been impossible, but fully one-half Of tho
whito people of that State arn not Dou7bous.
They are Progressvcs, who aro hostilo to tho
ultsa sentiments Of such hgo.catora as tho
Now 0rlcans vDulftin, who gro in favor of
peace, order, and good government, and who
euro sekingto adyaneo tho natoriat prosperity
Of their State. 1t il upon this class that tho
arbitrators have leaned for help and support
in arriving at compromise. It ia this class
Of moderate mon which Inns made compromise
possible, and Inns operated with them. Now,
when thia compromise is finally adopted, and
tho squabblo between tie KELLOGG and
A1cEHEAY factions las baon forever quietel,
what is to hinder this compromise party
which comprises tho Progrossiyes Of tho
State from organizing into permanent party
aud calling on oil tho dccaut blacks to Join
them? Tho Eagle inti1uateB that the
1}ourbons will not furntsl. any mid to
such division. But ths moment tho pro-
grcssivcs are organized and commence call
ing Upon tho respectable blaoks, tho division
is made. Tho Dourbons will lose no time III
organizing, and tue Eagle need uot fear That
thoy will not cry out oyou more Justify for
the blacks than tho Progrcssives. They will
secure part of them, that ID, the dlsrcput-
able and dissolute part. The progressiyes
will taka thu better class. The Issues will
then bo made clearly, md ttlero will bo au
end Of tho miserable color l;uo and faction
lights Which laye kept Louisiana and the
whole country in turmoil 10 long.

sTATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

which is az follows

to determine. 1t 1nay tlirect tint the State
Doard Of Equalization he abolished. mud the
levy left to tho discretion Of the Assessors
or it may drcc. tllat tho Stato officers shall
supervise tie work Of the Assessors. In such
case the l;oari of Equalization would DO
elective officers MS well rs tho subordinate
assessors, though tho section OF tho Const
tuition ehovo quoted allows them to bo ap-
pointed as well rs elected. THIS constitu-
iionn point Of tho journal is, therefore,
ridiculous. 1t is specimen Of spccinl plead.

When tho State journal talks about this

An Unnecessary Proceeding.

A contemporary informs us that it is pro-
posed to address Governor Tilden upon the
point of removing Mayor Wickham from Of
fee, on the ground of his failing to meet the
wants of the people. We do not know the
nature of the charges against the Mayor, nor
do we see any real ground for an action of
this kind should 1t really be in contemplation.
The incumbent of the Mayors Office occupies
the most useless position in the community.
1t is simply an ornamental station. It's main
duty is to review the st. Patrlcks procession
on the 18th day of March, the Orangemen on
the 18th of July, the Freemasons and any
other target company or saengerbund or mi
lita company that may happen along. He is
also permitted We believe, to make speeches
to the Manhattan Club and at society dinners,
as the representative of the glory of New York.
But for the real attributes of the Office his po-
stion is a sinecure. Wickham is governed
by triumvirate composed of John Kelly,
Andrew II. Green and Samuel J. Tilden
Governor Tilden exercises the supervisory
Office of Governor 30 rigidly that he has not
even deignod to answer n complaint made six
months ago by Mayor Wickham in reference
to Corporation Counsel Smith. The Gov
ernor has kept Mr.. Smith in Office. Although
Smith is o republican the Governor has
allowed him to appoint to other Offices his
own partisans and friends, thereby generating
great political scandal Yet Mayor Wick
ham can do nothing Andrew II. Green
holds all the executive functions of the
municipality in his hands, and, if Mr.. Wick
ham does not do his bidding quietly ignores
him. Yet tho Mayor can do nothing. John
Kelly dictates all appointments to Office in all
departments and regards the Mayoralty as q
legal formality to carry out the wishes of
Tammany Hall. Yet the Mayor can do
nothing. Why go to the trouble of removing
such q man? He is simply prize pig in
our municipal fair with ribbon around his
neck and good salary, to be stared at and
paraded around, and when his time is up to
be sent to the political slaughterhouse to
make room for some successor The Mayor
does nobody any harm. We would just as
soon have Mr.. Wickham review Irish pro-
cessions as anybody else. The way to amend

The Insufficient Water Supply and
the Danger OF N Conhagration.


The Chief Engineer of the Fire Department
addressed letter to the President of the
Board OF Commissioners three months ago,
while the Legislature was in session, calling
attention to the dangerous insuficiency of the
water supply for fire purposes After thor
oughly investigating the matter the Chief
Engineer arrived at the conclusion that we
have not enough water, and that many of the
mains are not of sufficient capacity to render
the city secure against destructive confa-
grafton. While the city has been spreading
out and tho buildings increasing in area and
height the water supply has remained al
most stationary, or at all events has not by
any means kept pace with the city's growth
In some sections of the city where there is
the greatest danger of fires the supply comes
from q six-inch pipe, and there are not suf1i-
cient number of hydrants or a sufficient
pressure of water 1t is startling to find
that in some of these perilous localities are
situated some of our largest theatres and
public halls. The Chief Engineer points out
the principal neighborhoods where a better
supply is imperatively demanded for the pub
lie safety, and expresses the opinion, in
which we concur, that ''as rule the city
should be covered with hydrants not more
than two hundred feet apart"
1t is singular that this communication
should not have been made public at the time
it was written. The facts it sets forth are of
great Importance and it was the duty of the
President of the Fire Department to suffer
the people to learn officially of the danger
that threatens the city. bitter opposition
was made by the Comptroller to the bill pro-
viding for better supply of water when it
was before the Legislature; but although the
pretence of this opposition was economy and
saving of taxation it was really induced by
enmity toward the departments by which the
work is done. This should not have induced
the suppression of the letter. Now that it
has been made public no delay should take
place in providing against the dangers it
points out 1t has been well known that the
water supply is less than it ought to be, and
the Chief Engineers statement shows the i'm
mediate necessity of its increase and of the
increase of the capacity of the mains.

ALFONSO AND THE CARIIsTs. The govern
ment of King Alfonso has adopted measure
which, if the telegraph reports it truly, will
inhict severer blow upon the Carlist rebel
lion than any that has yet been dealt. A de-
cree has been issued expelling from Spain all
families of which any member is in the Car
list aervice, all members of the Carlist COM
mittees, and directing that the property of
the Carists be coniscated and sold and the
proceeds turned over to the communities suf-
fering from Carist exactions. The difficulty
with this movement has been, at least since
the fall OF Amadeus, that it was a half recog-
nized influence, and was dealt with, not as a
treason against the State, but as q political
party. The Carlists maintained their COM
mittees all over Spain, they had their news
papers in Madrid, their coteries, their clubs,
even their military organization. To be
Carlist was no more under suspicion in
Madrid during the reign of the Republic or
the Savoy dynasty than it is for citizen of
New York to be democrat under republican
administration. II Carlistism is treason to
the government Of Spain, as it undoubtedly
is, then it should be treated us treason. The
Madrid Cabinet is perfectly justified in using
the severest measures to suppress it. This is
the only way to peace.

THE MONMOUTH PARK RACES. The eyes OF
the lovers of sport are now turned in the
direction of Long Branch, and the chronic
investors of the pool rooms are beginning to
''bet their money on the bob-tailed horse" or
any other they may fancy better for the first
meeting of the season at Monmouth Park.
The racing at that popular track commences
on Saturday next, and will be continued on
the following Monday, Wednesday and Thurs
day. The second meeting, following closely
on the heels of the first, commences on Satur-
day, July 10, and runs through the following
week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Tho Jersey Derby Stakes, the Monmouth
Cup, the One Thousand Dollar Purse, the
Jersey Jockey Club Purse and the Grand
Purse are the events of the two weeks that
attract the most attention, and the character
of the horses entered promises some excellent
racing. Then, as in addition to the sport at
Monmouth Park, the sea breeze and the cool
and tempting surf are peculiarly attractive
this hot weather, there will, no doubt, be a
large attendance on the Jersey shore for the
racing weeks.
