OPPORTUNITIES II BR00KLYN

The election Of M Seth Low IA Mayor oi
Brooklyn is primarily a triumph Of good cit
izcnship without reference to party. He com
manded the unbrokcn support of the RcDub-
licaus, and his bearing during the canvass
was at once so courageous and 50 cOnciliatCry
that he won the confidence Of a large body Of
Democrats who took him at his word when he
pledged himself to conduct the city admins
traton on strictly business principles. The re-
suit has been the choice Of an executive who
will not be under any OBLIGATIONS TO
any party faction or to any knot Of politicians
but who will be directly responsible TO tie
citizens themselves for the faithful and intclli-
gent discharge of the enlarged functions con-
ferrcd by the new charter. We congratulate
the people of Brooklyn most heartily ON the
result because we have faith in Nj Low as a
man OF genuine force and virlc citizenship.
He will stand on II higher level than any
other Mayor of that city has over occupied.
lie is not the man to shrk his con-
vctions or to waste his opportunity.
We shall be sorely disappointed if be
does not give the city the ablcst, the
mos, honest and most thoroughly uuT-paYtisaH
administration it has ever had.
The success Of Mr.. Low is moreover, a brill
Iant achievement Of volunteer political organi-
za.ion. Excellent service WAS rendered by the
Citizens Committee and the regular party or
ganization, but the best work OF the canvass
was done by that powerful body of amateurs
known as the Young Republican Club. They
began before the municipal nominations were
made by taking measures to secure a full
registration of Republican voters, sud when
the campaign was fairly opened with one Of
ther founders az the principal candidate, they
devoted themselves with the lire and eDthu-
siasm of fresh recruits and with the discipline
and thoroughneSs OF political veterans 70 the
business OF the election. 1t was campaign
work of the most effective kind involving
house-to-house canvass Of the registered
voters, the tabulation Of thousands Of written
pledges, tie enlistment of special corps Of
volunteer workers at the pcing-places,
the checking off of every registry list and
the dispatch Of carriages for delinquent RepuL-

lican voters, and finally strict surveill ance OF
the count. Nearly every polling place in the
city was manned by representatives OF the
club. as many as 500 members being actively
employed. Such work as this gave an impetus
to the canvass which could not be overcome.
The result was victory all along the line,
except at exposed points in the Assembly Dis
tricts. Not only was Mr.. Low elected
Mayor with Republican majority in the
Boards of Aldermen and Supervisors, but
the Democratic majority on the State ticket
which usually ranges from 5000 to $4,000,
was cut down to 300 in the county and 567
in the city. The Young Republicans now have
the satisfaction of knowing that the State
ticket could not have been elected if they had
not worked as they did in Brooklyn.
If the Mayor-eect has his opportunity, so
have the Young Republicans theirs. The
successful stand which they made against the
first choice Of the regular nominating cOnven-
ton, the election of their representative leader
ne Mayor and the prestige with which success
ful campaign work has crowned their efforts,
have given their organization a position Of
commanding influence in local politics.
Tha5 position they can entrench still
further if they will extend their operations
to the neglected field of primary elections
There is no reason why the $500 members Of
this club, representing, as they do, the best
classes of Brooklyn society should restrict
their political activity to election day and a
fortnight in October. Every member VINO
has not already done so should see 70 1t that
his name is Immediately enrolled on the
books of the ward association so that ne Gun

They could not expect everything, But really
haven't they done nobly thus fart

Nothing could better show the tendency to discuss
commercial questions with little reference to the
elements of morality than the way in when
some of the English newspapers discuss the
Indo-Chinese opium traffic That the consumption
of this drug entails countless and enormous evils
upon the Chinese population is fact long ago
placed beyond the need of investigation or argu-
ment; yet The St JdmeSs Gazette speaks Of opium as
"a luxury, comfort, a medicine or a poison, ac-
cOrding to the quantity and the circumstances" So
ii Isl but if it be a luxury that kills. comfort that
maddens, or poison almost always in the long run
fatal why should it be imported into China, because
a very small quantity comparatively, quantity
which can always be obtained, is required for
medicinal purposesY The American Government
has agreed by treaty to prohibit the importation Of
opium into China in American ships but it is argued
that England should not make a similar treaty,
because America never has and never can produce
opium. Yet it is difficult to why opium should
still be sent to China merely because
it can be grown proftably in British India. The
facilities for its expectation and transportation
would seem rather to call for still more stringent
measures of suppression. Again it is Insinuated
thai the PeIln Government, if IN earnest ought to
prohibit the growth of the poppy within its own
dominions. But pray, what has that to do with the
matter. morally considcred7 Because q man may
poison himself it does not follow that another man
has a right to poison him.

many negotiable notes, on the presumption
that the officers had received authority for
making them, and had acted properly in doing
so. The townspeople objected that, as there
was no recital in the bond to show on what
conditions it was allowed, and that these had
been fulfilled he must make specific proof of
these facts. And the Court cOncurred in this
view. Judge Gresham says that municipal cor
porations are created for purposes of govern
ment. not of business. They may make con-
tracts, incur debts and issue obligations for
money, within certain limits, where the pur-
nose of doing so is to discharge the duty of
local government. But it does not follow that
they can issue commercial securities, payment
of which will be enforced against taxpayers, If
the holder be n purchaser in good faith, no
matter though the issue was irregular or fraud
uent. On the contrary, their power to issue
commercial paper is the exception, not the rule.
Hence municipal bonds, or coupons, which do
not contain rcCitals, are not entitled to protec
ton as commercial paper, nor will the courts
tlke it for granted that the issue was authorized
and was regularly made. Whoever buys them
should inquire how they Camo to be put forth.
In this particular case the law Of the State al
lowed the town officers to issue bonds fer school
purposes. Then Hopper should have inquired
when tine coupons were offered to him, whether
they were cut from bonds issued for school pur-
poses and in the manner directed by law. Be-
fore he could sustain suit, he mus. ascertain
these facts and make proper proof.
The doctrine it will be observed, does not
apply to obligations Of business corporations,
but will naturally render bankers aud brokers
cautious in buying coupons cTt from county,
city or town bonds. Unl,s, the paper offered
states on ITS face tho facts ncedrul to show it
lawfully issued, Che buyer is liable TO lose Cor
want OF mean, of pryying these facts.
