Needed Expenditures.

The property owners on o portion Of Fifth
avenue and the adjacent streets on Thursday
memorialized the Board of Apportionment
for an appropriation to repave part OF that
important thoroughfare. A resolution of the
Board of Aldermen calling attention to the
dangerous condition Of some of the down.
town streets and asking that an appropria-
ton be made for their repair was also re-
ceived by the Board of Apportionment. The
former was referred to the Comptroller
and the latter to the Commissio9er
Of Public Works, in order that
an estimate Of the cost might be
made. The whole Of Fifth avenue from
Washington square to Seventy-second street
ought to be macadamized. The present con-
dition Of the avenue is disgraceful to the
city and dangerous to travel. 1t is the
principal, indeed the exclusive avenue for
private vehicles through the heart Of the
city to the Central Park, and valuable horses
are driven over it only at great risk. The
cost Of the work Of macadamizing the entire
avenue should not be considered in view of
the importance Of the thoroughfare. Be
tween Fifty-ninth street and Seventy-second
street, where one Of the swindling wooden
pavements is laid down, the road is abso-
lutely impossible, and it would be better to
take up the rotten blocks and restore the
old dirt road than to leave that portion Of
the avenue in its present dangerous condi-
ton. The downtown streets also demand
improvement. It is mistaken economy
to withhold the amount necessary to
put them all in proper condition.
The cost would be more than repaid by the
saving to commerce both in the time and in
the expense now required for carting goods
in the lower part of the city. There are
ample fields for saving the peoples money,
if the Board desires to do so, without injury
to the public interests. but the withholding
the necessary appropriations for the repave-
ment of our wretched streets is not one Of
them.

TuE WEATHER.-The storm centre and its at
tendant depression have now moved into the
Atlantic, giving place to rapidly rising pres
sure in the Northeastern districts. Light SHOWS
fell over the lake region as the low pressure
passed eastward followed by cloudy and
gradually clearing weather A general fall Of
temperature attended this change, especially
over the New England and Canadian
districts, but except on the coast the thermome-
ter began to rise again yesterday morning, be-
ginning in the Northwest, as the low area
already reported in that direction advanced to
the region northward of the lakes. The pressure
is highest in the Southwest and SOUTH but
Is above the mean in all the districts except
ia those OF the Northwest and upper lakes.
The prevailing winds ARE from the westward,
except in tue Southwest and the upper lake dis
tric;s, where they are southcrly in the latter
and southeasterly to easterly In the former.
The weather in New York and its vicinity today
will bc cold and clear or partly cloudy, and to-
morrow slightly warmer aud fair.

MacMahon's Farley.

s.Unconditional surrender" is the de-
mand made upon the French President by
the republicans; ON absolute abandonment
and abnegation of every part Of his irrational
resistance to the application Of the prin-
ciples Of free government to the exercise of
his authority in France. But the Marshal
holds out for capitulation is, for a sur
render, not unconditional, but qualified by
specified terms. His condition as pointed
out in the semi-official note is that he will
yield to the majority, to be filled as
they choose, all the places in the Ministry
save three. These three are the War and
Navy departments and the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs. The protext given for ex-
cepting these important Offices from the
operation Of the principle Of parliamentary
government is that the Marshal wishes to
separate them from politics -'from the in
Auence of parliamentary fuctuation." He
fears that the Parliament which represents
Marshal MacMahon is, and that, therefore,
the administration of public force and the
conduct of foreign affairs should be kept at
his personal disposal as guarantee against
.sradicalism" in the chamber. But the
republicans are just now demanding guar
antees for the future good conduct Of the
Marshal and are not proposing to give
guarantees for their own. AS the whole
difference between the majority and tho
Marshal turns upon his treating all the
,,iaces in the Ministry on the same personal
ground on which he now proposes to treat
the three important places named it would
be to accept half measure only if the
majority consented to this condition. On
the refusal of the Left to consent to this
reservation the whole effort to form par
liamentary Ministry has apparently fallen
through.

as it fails to prevent there will be q
greater stimulus to stop the raids. The
true policy now is to repose generous
confidence in Mexico, accepting the protes-
sions of Diaz, hut making him understand
that we shall exact compensation for all the
cattle robberies which his troops are not
alert enough to prevent 1t is sheer folly
for our government to maintain troops on
the border at heavy expense to do what
Mexico herself is bound to do, and what her
present government offers and engages to
do.
But even if General Ord is to keep guard
of the frontier with an army Of five thou
sand men the order to pursue raiding par
ties into Mexican territory ought to
be revoked. We know we'll enough
that if similar difficulties existed on
our Northern frontier our government
would never have ordered its military
officers to cross into Canada in pursuit OF
tuaitiyes. The reason why no such order
would be given on the Canadian frontier IS
perfectly apparent. Great Britain would
regard such violation of her territory as
an act Of war. She would think her
national honor involved and would make
swift demand for redress Our government
would never think Of thus playing on the
edges OF war against great and powerful
nation like Great Britain, because 1t knows
that it would have forthwith to retreat
apologize and make amends or forthwith
accept the reality Of war in dead earnest.
But the principles Of international law and
territorial rights Of sovereignty are the same
on both frontiers. It does not become
a great nation like the United States
to bully q weak neighbor. Our sense OF
dignity should cause US to treat weak
neighbor and strong one precisely alike
in the same circumstances If these border
troubles had occurred on our Northern from
tier we should have made demand on Great
Britain to take care Of her own thieves !;
have notified her that we should exact in
demnity for oil the property they destroyed,
and IL after reasonable time she failed to
do her duty the President would lay the
subject before Congress which would de-
clare war in regular form. Why should we
pursue different course toward Mexico!
It is beneath the national dignity and
against the national interest to spend money
and support troops to do what Mexico
herself is bound to do by the plainest
principles of international obligation. Let
Diaz have o reasonable chance to fulfil his
promises. If he fails let us make an ener-
getic demand for compensation down to
the smallest pig or chicken that is carried
of. II the bills are not paid then let us
teach Mexico such o lesson as her people
will be in no hurry to forget. For the pres
ent Diaz is entitled to fair opportunity to
prove the sincerity of his assurances. But
if he neither stops the raids nor pays for
the losses some wholesome bloodletting
may then De in order, followed by slice OF
