TIE MAYOR AND THE PUBLIC WoRKs.-
Mayor Wickham declares himself in favor of
proceeding with the public works at pace as
rapid as is required to keep up with the
growth of the city, and he considers that this
may be accomplished without increasing the
debt beyond its present sum. Prompt pay
ment of assessments, he reminds the property
owners, is one means by which substantial
results may be secured. He thinks the River
side Park road should be proceeded with at
once as an act of good faith toward the
property owners, who have paid heavy assese-
ments on the understanding that the work
should be at once prosecuted to completion.
He also considers that the work upon the road
or avenue known as Morningsids avenue
should also be completed, as q large amount
of money has been invested in it, and if il
should be left in its present condition the city
would in the end be at heavy loss. The
Mayors opinions as to the manner in which
the public works should be conducted will be
read with interest, and il is to be hoped that
his suggestions in relation to the improve
ment of our wretched pavements may be fol-
lowed by practical results.

The BEECHER TRIAL was begun yesterday,
OF, to speak more accurately, the preliminaries
to the trial were. entered upon. Several days
are likely to pass before the proceedings will
have much interest, owing to the difficulty of
procuring jury. Out of the first panel Of
five hundred it is not expected that the full
twelve can be made up, and another large
panel has been ordered. 1t will not be easy
to find twelve reputable citizens of Brooklyn
who have not already decided in their own
minds the question of Mr.. Beechers guilt or
innocence

cable that the Emperor of Germany expressed
himself on New Years Day as yearning tor
peace, and saying that the duty of Germany
would now be to preserve the peace" Con-
sidering that there have only been three wars
in Europe in ten years, and that this illustri-
Gus sovereign was the cause of them all; that
last year his Minister was threatening France
with new invasion if the bishops did not
moderate their tone and the French women
did not behave more civilly to the German
Ambassador, this aspiration is an instructive
and interesting phenomenon. The Emperor
Of Germany will only be the friend of peace
when he has no interests that can be served
by war.

THE SENATE FINANCE BILL seems likely to
pass the House on grounds Of party ex-
pediensy. 1t is well ascertained that the re-
publican inAationists will abate no jot nor
title of what the bill gives them, and
will permit no amendments. 1t will be
saving of time, then, to gag discussion
in the House, as was done in the Senate,
and force it through by the sheer power
of party votes. Its passage will do no
good and little harm. If it we're probable that
there would be considerable issues of bank
notes under it it ought to be so amended as to
forbid reissue of the retired greenbad<s

dead letter, amendments are Of no conse-
quence. 1t il only party maneuvre and In

MAYOR WICKHAM AND THE PoLIcE.-Mayor
Wickham is in favor Of police board nom
partisan Sin the fullest sense Of the idea con-
veyed by that expression" In this declara-
ton he strikes popular idea. Every respect
able citizen feels that the Police Commission
has for the past two years been scandal to
the city. The appointments made on the
Board under the new charter where they have
not been disgraceful have been ridiculous
Not single commissioner has been sent to
Mulberry street who would be dreamed of for
such position by the citizens of New York
if the Office had been elective. There has been
neither position, capacity nor character to
commend the appointments to favor. 1t is no
wonder that, under such a head, the police
force should have become VIGOROUSLY bad. As
Mayor Wickham says, ''There is no branch OF
the city government upon which the public
welfare depends SO much as upon the Police
Department" and it is to be hoped that he
will fulfil this promise to do all in his power
to carry into practical operation his plan
for making the Commission respectable and
efficient.

WALKING WITH GoD has commonly been
taken as 6gurative expression to designate
o life of piety; but at the Methodist preach
ers meeting DR.. Curry interpreted it as mean
ing that the physical act OF walking is pecu-
liarly acceptable to the Divine Being. Enoch
walked with God three hundred years, says
this erudite eIpounder, and he testified that
he never has such real sense of the divine
presence as when walking in his room or in
the streets. What marvel Of godliness
Weston must be if walking is form of
worship!

The Mayor and tho Common Council.
Mayor Wickham is q strong advocate of homo
rule for the city of New York. He wishes that
the entire Legislative powers of the govern
ment shall be vested in the representatives Of
the people in the Common Council assem-
bled, to be exercised subject to the approval
of the Mayor. Errors or wrongs committed
can be more easily remedied here, he holds,
than at Albany. Hence he denounces in en-
phatic but not too forcible language the sys-
tenn Of Legislative charter tinkering through
which the city government has heretofore
been kept in an inefficient and irresponsible
condition. At the same time he does not be-
lieve that under the existing law the Common
Council is so powerless as has been generally
supposed. He regards the authority vested in
that body by section 80 of the charter to enact
such necessary ordinances as may become re-
quisite for ''the fuller organization, perfecting
and carrying out of the powers and duties
prescribed to any department as sufficient to
place the departments virtually under the
control of the Board of Aldermen and the
Mayor. This being the case the Common
Council may make such provisions as may be
necessary to enable the Mayor to require,
and, if need be, to compel, from the heads Of
the several departments such an administra-
ton of the affairs of the city committed to
their charge as will lead to greater efficiency
in the future and a reduction of expense in
securing it The new policy is bold one.
Properly enforced it may be productive of
good. It certainly raises the Importance Of
the Aldermen in the city government

The DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS at
Albany last evening was careful not to break
the prearranged Tammany slate. Mcguire
was nominated for Speaker and Calkins for
Clerk, as everybody expected, demonstrating
the futility of the rural pr otests against Tam
many dictation.

The MAYOR AND THE CoMPTRoLLER.-Ma
Wickham has very properly declined to accept
the Comptroller's figures as representing the
true financial condition of the city govern
ment, and contents himself with stating that
he is not in position at present to inform the
Common Council what our public liabilities
really are. A floating debt hangs over us, but
no one knows its amount. The Mayor suggests
that balance sheet showing the financial po-
stion of the city at the close Of the last year
is demanded in the public interest, and prom
Uses to cooperate heartily in any measures the
Common Council may adopt to procure such
q balance sheet. The confusion, uncertainty
and concealment manifest in our financial
policy for three years past has been long de-
nounced by the HERALD as a serious evil, and
we again remind Mayor Wickham that no
satisfactory reform can be expected so long as
Comptroller Green, the author of such
policy, remains at the head of the Finance
Department.

STREET CLEANINa.-The proposition made
to the Common Council by Mayor Wickham
that they shall take the control of the street
cleaning business into their own hands, leav-
ing to the police only the enforcement of such
ordinances and regulations as the Aldermen
may adopt is an important one The people
have scarcely enough confidence in the Board
Of Aldermen to expect much benefit from
their interference in the matter. The pro.
vision Of the charter empowering the Common
Council ito regulate the cleaning Of the
streets, avenues, sidewalks and cutters and
removing ice and snow therefrom' seems to
give them the power (; but how would they
exercise it? What jobs might not be covered
up under their management? To be sure, the
present Police Commissioners have made
street cleaning farce as well as public out
rage under their wretched management but
would the Aldermen do any better? Mayor
Wickham might find it safer and more desir-
able to reform the Police Commission and
then to leave the street cleaning business
where it is. With the right sort of men at
the head Of the police force we should prob
ably have clean streets, for the Street Clean
ing Department would then be efficiently and
honestly handled

CHEAP HoMEs.-The problem Of cheap

attention Of all thoughtful men in New York,
can only be solved by rapid transit. Let us
have railway system, under ground or over
ground, which will enable laboring man to
leave his work at the Battery and be at his
home in Yonkers or New Rochelle in twenty
minutes, and all that section of Westchester
county will be covered with cheap homes.
The laboring man and the artisan will have
their own dwellings. with clear sky, fresh
air, beautiful scenery and boulevards and
streams, for Westchester is one of the most
attractive sections in the State. Let them
escape from the dirty, dingy, crowded quar-
tiers which now swarm the city with people
who do not leave New York because they can
not. The absence of cheap homes, or the
possibility Of building them. has long been a

JUSTICE AND HoNEsTY.-Mayor wickham
makes an excellent point in his Message on
the honesty Of paying our just debts with
promptness. AS practical business man he
can see no necessity for putting off an honest
creditor because we are bound to resist the
claims of dishonest one. He admits that
past Encouragement has rendered vast
amount of litigation unavoidable but he
bluntly declares that this is no good reason
why just claimants to whom the city owes
money should be forced into the courts 10
recover the money due to them. The Mayor
pledges himself to aid the executive officers of
the government in protecting the city against
liabilities for which it is not by law response
BILE with all his power but he distinctly an
nounces that he will compel the prompt pay
ment of all just and legal obligations, and will
no longer permit vexatious and costly litiga-
ton. If Mayor Wickham will carry out
effectively the programme he here lays down
But, in order to do so, be must rid the city of
Comptroller who will continue to compel
vexatious litigation in spite of the Mayor.
IRWIN has concluded to answer all ques-
tons, if we may credit despatch which we
nave received from Washington. The develop
ments before the committee in New York have
convinced him that the subsidy fund will be
traced to its ultimate disbursement, and he
thinks he may as well make a clean breast
But with these slippery people promise is not
always equivalent to performance.

all important city improvements, including
the Riverside roadway, the Morningside ave-
nue.. and especially the docks. He takes q
deep interest in the question of rapid transit,
and recognizes the fact that the problem is
partially solved by the tunnelling of Fourth
avenue and the immediate prospect OF four
steam tracks between Forty second street and
the upper part of the island, and by the Ele-
waited Railroad on the west side of the city.
He expresses his full approval of the action OF
Mayor Vance in expediting the payment OF
the city's share of the Fourth avenue improve
ments and thereby administers another re-
Duke to the obstruction policy of Comptroller
Green He favors the early completion OF the
Brooklyn Bridge, and thinks it will hasten the
consolidation of the two cities. He recon-
mends the building of o new bridge across the
Harlem River and an accurate survey OF the
newly annexed district. He would have the
Park kept in perfect order and well policed'
but would leave its improvement for o few
years to the growth of its trees and shrubs,
which will constantly add to its attractlveness.
He thinks it would be wise to sell the market
property and leave markets to private enter
prise. He would have the cleaning of the
streets taken from the Police Department and
let out by contract. We will not follow in
detail all the recommendations of this judicious
Message, as they receive due attention in other
articles on this page. We are confident that
the whole community will agree with us that

Governor Kellogg's Message.
After the federal soldiers had done their
disgraceful work yesterday by dragging mem
bers of the Legislature from their seats and
forcing the Speaker from his chair Kellogg
sent in his Message, which we print this
morning. We presume nobody even in New
Orleans gave it any attention in the excited
state of public feeling in that city, and it will
be equally difficult to fix attention on it here
in view of the startling news that comes with
and eclipses it. The American people will in
sist on knowing whether State elections are to
be respected and State Legislatures to be ex-
empt from military violence before they will
and recommendations put forth by bogus,
usurping Governor. There is committee Of
Congress in New Orleans. and what the peo-
pie of the country are most anxious to see is
the report they will make on their return to
Washington. When house is on fire no.
body cares to listen to a catalogue of proposed
repairs, and until Louisiana is rescued from
her prostration as free State little interest
can be felt in minor questions of State adj
ministration. Such of our citizens as have
been bitten by the purchase of Louisiana
bonds may run through Kellogg's Message
with some interest, but few other people will
care for his elaborate whitewashing of his own
administration.
