1t was said of the versatile Mr.. Baldwin,
yesterday, that he had always been regarded
as 1.-THE most brilliant fnancier in New-Jer
sey" Revised by the aid Of the fercest light
that ever beat upon bank, this estimate
seems entirely accurate and just.
The story of the nomination of John Hardy
for Congress- as told in another column, is a
graphic picture of the methods employed in
local Democratic politics, and the subserviency
of small politicians to the will of the Mayor
The spectacle of Thomas COstigan and John
r. Fellows nominating John Hardy would
bring smile to the face of a craven image.
If the craven image knew anything of New
York politics.
AS might have been supposed the efforts of
the British bOndholders to bring the Turkish
Government to terms have utterly failed the
only persons benefited being the spectators
who took advantage OF the false confidence
which the negotiations inspired. Turkish six
per cent bonds, which were only 22l2 in Lon
don last month, are now likely to decline still
more. TO add to the Porte's troubles Russia
has made it clear that she is determined to
press her claim for the war indemnity which
Turkey acknowledged at the last settlement.
The reports from the Croton basin give a
less favorable account of the situation than
would have been expected The total rain
fall up to o'clock yesterday morning was
about one inch, but so much of the rain has |
soaked into the parched ground that the water
reserve has been actually only slightly in
creased The statement of the Chief Engineer |
is that two or three more inches Of rain VIII |
be needed to start the streams which feed the |
storage reservoirs. The statement that since |
July 4 no water has Iun over the CrotOn dam |
is the most positive proof of the ex-
tent of the drouth we have had yet. |
The water is still, it appears, twenty-three
inches below the top, and falls instead of
rising. Now that the spell of the drouth has
been broken, it may be that we will soon have
the heavy rains that are alone likely to give
practical relief to the straitened water supply.
The Brooklyn Mayoralty contest is about to
furnish another example of the essential no.
blity and goodness of Democratic reform
