TO wait until matters should be Strengthened
out at Albany. The Indignation at the action
of the Assembly Committee on Cities con-
corning the S;reei-Clean!ng bill is almost uni
vcrsal. The press and the people of New
York insist that the original bill shall he
pass as 1t came from the Senate. They are
earnestly opposed to amendments and in
trigues intended to defeat the bill, or take all
the virtue out OF it. This feeling is over
whclmlng. We fear that directing the popu-
lar attention from the main subject to the
question of removing the Commissioners may
tend to weaken 1t. There should be no side
issues while the main thing at stake is uude-

TIE ENGLISH PRESS AND AMfRICA.

The English press as u rule have very fairly given
n, wide circulation to the official contradiction Of

with a certain surliness. The true Englshman

on the boot fellows. The oldest exhibition of gum
pshness on the occasion is made BY The PdH Mall

ment about the death of 100000 hogs in Illinois
last year false declares that the Americans ought
10 be much more interested in the matter than
foreigners. As it IS officially stated by competent
authorities that l5.OOO,000 of the inhabitants Of
