BRoADWAP,S FUTURE.
This Time n Petition for Formulation to Erect
nm EIexatA KnIIrond.

A new scheme for railroad in Broadway,
from Seventeenth street to the Battery. has been
presented to the Common Council. and is
before the Railroad Committee Of that body. 1t
provides that the property owners in Broad-
way. State street and Whitehall street may build
the road through. upon. along, and over !"
those streets. from Seventeenth street to the
South Ferry and that the faro shall DO Ave
cents. The capital stock of the company is to
be 81 500 600. in 10000 shares Of 500 each
Ten shares are 10 be given to each Of the 900
pieces of property on the line Of the road. the
owner of which phys $3.50 for the track In front
OF his plot; $50 shares are TO BIZ given to the
Of 100 shares to the highest bidder of the mem-
bcrs Of the company. The plan also makes It
the cOmpanys duty TO remove snow from the
carriage way Of Broadway and TO Keep the
pavement in good repair.
The petition for the franchise Is signed by
representatives Of the estates Of William Van
Antwerp James w Gerard. +. Campbell. Josiah
Il. Dearborn G.. I. Marshall A. II. Lowery. S.
NJ Starr. the Irving estate and others.
The reasons given by the siRners to the Alder
mon for tho adoption OF their scheme are as
follows:

Another way to Protect Central Park.

Another way to protect the Central Park
from innovation is to introduce it hereafter
into elections Of Governor.
Both parties can stand on an equality in
that respect. by refusing TO nominate any
candidate for Governor who Is not squarely
committed against allowing any cncroach-
mcnt under whatever guiec or prctenco at
tempted for purposes inconsistent with its
original design.
such n course would be entirely proper,
because the people Of the whole State are in
terested in preserving intact this great
ornament Of the city.
People from all parts Of the State-and, as
to that, from all parts Of the country visit
it by hundreds, in pleasant weather, daily.
All who come here are interested in the
Park. not only on account Of its great
beauty and the pleasure 1t affords as n walk
or drive, but as a means of promoting the
health of the city.
There is a very natural and commcndable
State pride in Central Park, which may well
manifest. itself by refusing to make any
man Governor who does not number himself
among it, friends.

Policeman WILLIAMS Is mistaken If he
supposes that the matter of tho clubbing
outrage on Mr. BLAKE of Trenton ended
with the vote Of two Police Commits
soncrs to dismiss the charge. The Twenty
ninth Precinct contains some of the most
respectable citizens of this town. as well a.
some Of the worst gamblers and most dis
orderly resorts to be found between the two
rivers. This latter sort have for long
time felt personal interest in the well
being of Policeman WILLIAMS, for reasons
sufficiently understood at the Twcnty-ninth
Precinct police station. The respectable
members Of tho community are just bcgin-
ming to get Interested in the man. The in
tcrcst which they are beginning to take In n
policeman Of whose name, even, many of
them were ignorant until few weeks ago,
bids fair to Ice Of the livclicst kind.
Tho respectable people OF WILLIAMS
precinct, we say, are learning TO their as
constituent that the protection OF their
property and persons, and the protection Of
their wives and daughters, whenever their
wives and daughters go out upon the street,
il conndcd to n ruillan and brute They
have had their previous notions of what a
the evidence Of this particular policcman's
behavior at Gilmorc's Garden and else
where. They have learned who Policeman
WILLIAMS is and what he is. and they are
likely to concern themselves more about him
in the future than they have heretofore.
The matter is not one which cXcitcs mo-
mentary interest and then is forgotten.
The instinct Of sclf-prcscrvation l. too strong
In the breast Of every respectable citizen in
the Twcnty-nnth Precinct 10 allow the
memory Of Policeman WILLIAMs's club TO
fade Even II II did fade. the mere sight Of
Policeman WILLIAMS on the street club in
hand, or the mere sound from n distance Of
one Of his ringing oaths, would bc enough
to bring the respectable citizen back to a
full appreciation Of constant and imminent
danger to the integrity Of his skull
Notwithstanding the vote Of Commits
sioncr WHEELER. in n ease on which he had
not heard evidence or sat in judgment, the
people Of the Twenty-niuth Precinct.are fast
becoming convinced that they are paying
taxes to support policeman who revcrscs
the usual functions OF peace officer In
stead of keeping the peace, he breaks il and
instead Of protecting orderly and innocent
citizens and making dcscents on tho crimi-
nal classes, he protects the criminals and
makes his desccnts upon orderly and inno-
cent citizens.
This state of affairs cannot last long. II
may become necessary for the respectable
citizens Of the Twcnty-uinth Precinct TO or
ganze a Vigilance Committee TO protect
their own lives against the club Of their paid
policeman.

THE SCHUEIzEN PARK.
A Plan TO Lin the Debt, and n scheme for n
Zig Festival this summer.

Tho United Schuetzen Association met
on Wednesday in the castle. in the Schuetzen
Park. on Union Hill. TO consider what should
be done to lit the debt Of $4,000 that ham,
pers the business Of tho Park. Tho Presi-
dent. the Hon. Hermann D. Busch, said
that for some time pust ;he use OF the Park h ad
to he more than given away; the association
had to bid against other pleasure park owners
near New York city for patronage. But by is
suing new shares Of stock. At $40 share. tho
debt can be paid of. Interest need no longer
be- paid on the debt and the association can
once more obtain possession Of and retain the
refusal of the Schuetzen PARK.
Then resolutions were passed declaring that
the so-callcd Noksfests that have grown in
numbers for four years past have become al
most n nuisance that festivals OF representa-
tives Of parts Of Germany have Contributed
largely to create and perpetuate discord among
Germans on this side Of the Atlantic. and that
the holding OF these so-cnlled NOlksfests has
been money making business by few specu-
lators figuring as members OF festival COM
should hold n grand national festival. in tho
true sense Of the term. in the Union Park in
the coming summer without charging any ad-
mission fee. The Festival Committee was au-
thorzed TO take steps. sparng neither money
nor pains, Ia make tins festival the largest and
most successful ever held in this country.
Finally, II was resolved that the new bonds for
the liqu idatton OF the debt should be sold at SO
each. President Busch said that he would take
$1,000 IN the new stock. and Clausen, the
brewer. offered To- take $1,000.

The common answer to the inquiry, Why
are you I'm favor of Gen. GRANT? il, We
want a strong government.
Now. it is worth while 10 ponder some
what over this proposition, and consider
whether n strong government IS really de-
sirable.
What is a strong government People In
this country who mention it so cavalierly
labor under the mistake that it Is govern
ment strong to protect its citizens in their
rights. Practically, such is seldom II ever,
the case.
strong government Is strong to oppress.
SO far as protection Is concerned. 1t is only
strong to protect itself by the oppression Of
others.
In speaking Of Gen. GRANT as n man who,
II reelected, would give To the United States
@ strong government, what Is meant
1t is meant that he would make an admin
istration strong for the negroes at tho az
pense Of the whites; strong for the carpet
Dagger at the expense Of the substantial
and permanent resident; an admnistra-
ton strong in the cohesive power Of public
plumber.
1t would certainly be an administration Of
a strong odor; for il would smell Of BAR
COCK and robson and the Whskcy Ring.
1t would be an administration strong in
military support and dcspotc tendencies.
Strong governments make themselves
strong at the cost OF the blood and the lib-
critics Of the people.
strong government would be out Of
place In the United States.

Better Not.

II is said that the Legislature will prompt
ly pass the bill giving the elevated railroads
the right To appropriate any other street i'm
this city that they may desire But We are
not ready to believe that such is the case.
This bill is something that the Legislature
had better leave alone. The elevated rail-
roads already have possession Of quite as
much Of this town as the public interest re-
quircs; and it will not bee wise tocXtcnd their
operations on any such ground as that
which is proposed.
Rapid transit is highly successful, and
needs no further public encouragement.
Great fortunes have Dccn made by those en-
gagged in the enterprise. So far, they have
had several Of the public thoroughfarcs for
nothing; and great thing it has been for
them. But that is no reason why they
should have all our streets on terms So easy.
The bill before the Legislature Is "A bin that
most emphatically ought not to pass.
